    Such a great lesson. I’ve been learning the caged shapes and arpeggios, and haven’t really noticed much improvement, but when you follow someone else’s solo, so many light bulbs go off on how to use the system. This was a great lesson in applying theory for me. Thank you!

    Jerry..What can you say..Hell of a player and knew his stuff inside out and backwards.
    So much juicy stuff to learn from his playing style. And the way he constructed his music.
    On the subject of the Grateful Dead...and what a name for a band..if anyone hasn't seen these versions of the Ripple and the weight, if you search on the toob for playing for change they've done an awesome version of both.
    For the weight it took nearly 2 years to put it together, there's 2 videos on that as well.
    Reason being their music vids are mostly musicians and vocalists etc from around the world playing their part of the track, and then it's all edited to create the finished video.
    Some awesome musicians, all kinds of instruments and some really good guitar players...and vocalists.
    Awesome scenery as well in many of them....
    Another of my favourites is Luke Winslow King..Farewell Blues..really nice guitar work on this one..good song as well.
    Genevieve chadwick..very good acoustic player.
    Also worth checking out poor boy blues ..mark knopfler and chet atkins. Great song and some really nice playing...
    Two of the best..can't go wrong there.
    And plenty more. I put it on the Tele box coz it's better than on the laptop.

    @glennfinley9966 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am a lifetime subscriber to Active Melody (my lifetime, not yours) . A possible use for midweek lessons might be to teach songs from the public domain. Many of us like to sing and play. but your lessons are instrumental compositions, so I actually spend a little more time on youTube than I do on Active Melody. Is the audience too small for tutorials on how to play early gospel or spirituals, jazz, barnyard stomp, jug band music? I understand why you rarely repeat yourself in lessons (and I get a lot out of them, even without applying myself much), but have you thought of something like instrumental "lessons" on friday, and song "tutorials" mid week? Just a thought. I love your awesome website and impressive skills. I do not subscribe anywhere else. Even to Marco.
