Thank you so much! Yes I did play, no tricks here lol Thanks again for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment!

Thank you very much! I dearly appreciate your kind words!! Have a nice day

Hi! I don’t have perfect pitch, but I do have a somewhat developed relative pitch. That way I just find the chords on the guitar and I get the key from there. As for the time signature that’s just a matter of counting when you’re listening to the song and see what fits best (you can also use a click and try out different time signatures to see what fits) Thank you so much for watching! Cheers

lol thank you! Already working on that part in the gym

Thank you very much! I’m so thankful for all these comments. A lot of genuine gratitude here Have the best day!

Thank you so very much! That comment made my day. Please subscribe if you want, it would make my week :) A great day to you! Cheers

Thanks! Now it’s time to practice to try to get it even better Cheers!

Wow thank you so much! I wasn’t expecting this type of comment! In fact I was aiming to get a slide -ish sound. Derek is a beast with a phenomenal melodic sensitivity! Maybe I’ll post more of this type of jam! Thank you and you’re very welcome to my channel if you want to subscribe!

I don’t to this very often, but on this video I’m recording directly connected to the audio interface so I’m just using plug ins in GarageBand Thank you very much for your kind words and a lot of people in my comment section are saying I look a little like him! Have a great day!

Yes, it’s Badge by Cream! Thank you very much!

In this video I’m playing through a real amp. A Fender Blues Junior Tweed and I also have some pedals in front of it (I think in this video I’m using the tube screamer mini, the notaklön and the BluesBreaker for the OD, the ROSS chorus and the ARP-87 for the delay). Thank you so very much for watching my video and taking the time to comment and have a great day!

Thanks!! 🙏

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Have a great day!

Thank you very much!

You think so? Thanks!

And I thank you for that! It really means a lot that someone took a little time to write something about my still improving guitar playing! Have a great weekend! Cheers

You mean awesome? Sure! Better luck next time

Thanks! It’s a Fender Strat Vintera 50s Mod

Thanks!!

Thank you very very much!! It’s a Fender Strat Vintera 60s Mod

Yes! That’s right!!

I do not mind at all! In fact, I’m very flattered!! As you can see, guitar wise I’m on the middle pick up (the volume is high). Only three pedals are on, first a Tube Screamer Mini, then a JHS Notaklön, and finally a Bluesbreaker reissue. They all have the tone/treble knobs a little past halfway, such as the gain knobs (I use the Klon that way, unlike John). The volume on the pedals is set in a way that it raises the overall volume a little (not much, but not 0). Bear in mind that all pedals can have slightly different knobs so just grab the general idea of it. The amp is a Fender Blues Junior Lacquered Tweed: volume at 5 and master volume at 2, a lot of bass on the EQ as for treble it’s set around 8 and the mids are set to 5. Just a little reverb (I added a bit more while mixing because it wasn’t enough). Then in the mixing phase I just made a few changes in the eq but very slight and probably a bit of compression The amp mic is an SM57 In the video there’s also a very tiny bit of sound that was captured by the phone mic (I did it that way so that the sound sounded more punchy and in your face probably because of the pick, which is a 1.5mm). My advice to get this sound: if you have pedals and amp try going for a very overdriven sound, not necessarily by turning the gain knob all the way up, but by see how it reacts to the guitar volume in order to get the best combination. If you go to my TH-cam page you can find my Instagram link (I post gear stuff on my stories sometimes) Have a great day and thank you for your attention!!

@@vasco_music You know, you look like John Mayer and you play a bit like him too. Thanks for your detailed response. Thanks for taking the time off of your busy day in order to write that for me.

Thanks! He’s one of my biggest influences, plus we share a lot of other influences too so that helps (but still I want to sound like me) It’s my pleasure! Thank YOU for taking the time to watch my videos, that means a lot!

Exactly! 👍

Muchas gracias! 🙏 that really means a lot to me Please subscribe for even MORE solos!!

Gracias! 🙏 that means a lot!!

Thank you so much! Cheers!

Thanks!

Thank you so much! It’s his solo segment of Blue Sky, very melodic player

It’s awesome! Do you have any videos?

@@vasco_music That's not in my skill set. For me, Sugaree is like Dark Star: it's always playing in my brain. Thanks for your video.

Thank you! I do that as well along the day! I jam in my imagination and then try to “transcribe” some licks If you want you can subscribe to my channel for more videos or even follow me on ig for more small covers and pedal stuff (link is in my page)

@@vasco_music Thanks!

Thank you so much! Cheers!!

Thank you so much! Cheers

Yes I can! Probably next month I’ll do it or even in the end of this one! Thank you very much! Please subscribe so that you don’t miss it! Have a good one

Acoustic or full band (where I play all the instruments)?

@@vasco_musicIf could do it the acoustic like this video!

Simplesmente VASCO DA GAMA

Tell me!

@@ErikSeiferrlol 😂

Waitin’ on the day

Thank you so much! Cheers!

Gained another sub! Keep it going!

Thank you so so much!! I’ll keep it going and I’ll keep on practicing as much as possible, as one should! Thanks again and may your week be awesome!

Thank you so much! It’s funny how so much time listening to music and practicing (with a lot of frustration from terrible licks and ideas) leads to only a few minutes of playing. Your comment means a lot. If you like you can follow me on instagram for a more detailed insight into what I do (practice wise and tone wise). instagram.com/vascoo_____?igsh=NXczOG5jZzNoamFx& Have an awesome day! Cheers!

Everyone keeps saying that lol Thanks! Please subscribe if you want for more music content! Cheers!

It's because he has practiced and adopted the mannerisms, obviously. Nice playing

Thank you very much! That’s true, but in this video there’s only one thing inspired by him and that’s the pick up position! If you check some other videos (only if you want) you’ll see how I take a lot from him I have a lot of other influences by the way Cheers!

@@vasco_musicit’s ok to be inspired by other artists, and most of us go through different phases of influence over time as a young teen I was super into Bruce Hornsby and styled a lot of what I did after him, over time I got into the Doors type solos, and then as I got older I appreciated the Leon Russell style more than anything else all those different phases will help create your own unique style in the end hopefully, just gotta keep at it 👍🏼

Exactly! The Doors are awesome! I love playing their songs on the keys, even more than on the guitar! Have a great day and thanks!

Thank you very much! That means a lot!
