Congratulations to you. I hope you do too... it was beautiful to watch... the look of (totally understandable) pride on Dan’s face at times was lovely to watch. Further evidence, if more was needed, that Dan’s a truly nice guy.
I've been brainwashing my youngest since the day she was born hahahaha. She is almost 5 now and she still falls asleep to guitar videos. My plan is slowly unfolding. Got to have someone take care of the guitars after I'm gone lol.
You are already on your way. All you have to do is be happy, healthy and be there when she is ready. Just posted similar sentiment about my own daughter. My son is just hinting he wants to play, and that is about as happy as I have ever been.
Awww man... I have two daughters and these Daddy-Daughter moments are just priceless. Brought tears to my eyes. Well done Liv and well done Pops!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Quite a bit of Donald Fagen in that intro at 11:10, Brilliant stuff, and congrats Liv. And yeah, the bending control, expressivity and musicality that Andy has is just out of this world, jaw drops every time.
is it wrong that my favourite part was watching your daughters eyes light up during her solo with you when it all clicked in for her. As a dad myself I live for those moments. My daughter also prefers the tele design. wonderful that you shared this. thanks Dan.
This is by far the best video of that pedal show to me. I learned a lot. And having reached 52 without having children recently I thought It really could have been nice to have a daughter.
In Buddhism, there is the concept of unselfish joy, that is, finding joy in the happiness and success of others. Dan, this concept is strong in you and Mick, all the guys in his video, and all true musicians everywhere, and it brought tears to my eyes today.
Wow your daughter did so well 👏👏👏👍 and Dan I got to say your solo on that track was just brilliant. It had elements of Walter Becker in its melody. Brilliant mate 👏👏👏👏👍😎
Amazing first solo Liv!!! I loved that so much, it was very soulful and heartfelt, nothing like my first solo!! Great song Dan, really enjoyed the blog, everyone's playing including yours was awesome. Cheers, Ash
I only just now finished this. Holy Hell, what a smoking jam. This virtual band idea has been a gift to the world during this time. Please keep it up. It may be sort of path forward. So many folks have done wonderful things around the world that might not have been I intuitive enough before. Compared to what & where we have all had to gig on our lives, we are at an age where the gear is all very good - and this is all possible.
🇨🇦Bill Morgan Very nicely done Olivia, Dan your 2 weeks paid off as well, tastey solo indeed. Those other dudes just dropping in, wow what a crew of guitarists that I love to listen to. Another brilliant show. Thank you.
Truly fantastic Dan. Great way to teach Olivia solo melody by singing it & also a very proud dad moment ! (My first hurdle: to get any of my kids to pick up an instrument.)
1. Well done Liv! 2. Brilliant video Dan. Inspirational. 3. Fathers and their daughters - sometimes meh mostly amazing. I have three, haven’t seen them since Xmas after watching this I’m missing them like mad😭😭😭.
@Liv - bloody great job girl. I've been doing this twice as long as you've been alive and I've never got as close to playing what I'm hearing as you did in 2 weeks. My own daughter has decided to add guitar to flute and piano. You kids!
Dan, it's a supreme skill to take a personal challenge and bring so many people along with you - from Liv and her first solo, your friends collaborating with you, to all of us watching on TH-cam. Well done Dan! This is a tremendous success and you sounded incredible!
Olivia ripped it! She should keep up on the soloing work! Sort of reverse Satchmo; he scatted what he did't play! Your jazz is inspirational! I really enjoyed it!
Olivia was brilliant. Congrats Olivia. And that is a great way to teach the pentatonic, Dan. I never thought of singing the notes, so thanks for that. I do not think I will ever be capable of hearing notes and chords simply with visualizing them, but I am going to have a go. Congrats on your improvement, Dan. Many thanks.
The first solo I learned was the solo from "Patience" by GnR. Then I learned maybe a couple others and hated the process. And then one day I was playing rhythm guitar and my buddy was soloing over "old love" by Clapton. I said "man, I wish I knew the solo" and he was like "oh, I just make it up". And I was like "how?" He showed me the A minor pentatonic box at the 5th fret and said "the song is in A minor, and this is the A minor pentatonic. So just play notes from this scale and they'll work". And then that night I went home, put on "Old Love", and started picking out notes from the pentatonic over it....I was blown away. IT WAS MUSIC! lol That really got me hooked, to hear myself actually *making* music. Then I stopped learning any solos, which I didn't learn many, but I thought "why learn other people's solos when I could be spending that time learning *how* to make my own solos, that are just as good or better"? Now, I don't fully subscribe to that anymore, but I do think it's the reason I advanced so quickly over my peers. In two years, I was a better improviser than kids who'd been playing like 10 years already, and was even able to join my school's show band without knowing really any real theory or how to read music...I just did it by ear, and I didn't audition....I was invited. So for me, I think there's a huge benefit to learning improv early on, and not so much focusing on learning solos note for note. They don't matter that much really, unless you really want to play them. I guess it depends on your goals. But if the goal is to make your own music and improvise like mine was, I think it's a waste of time somewhat. I think it's more useful to look at solos and find the "principles" of what they're doing, maybe some licks that instill that principle, but then right away start using it and manipulating it and moving it to different places on the neck. Plus, I found once I got familiar with the scales, I was much more able to pick out parts or whole solos by ear, or even just memory of it. Maybe I'm biased, but I think learning music stems from improv. It has to. Think of any art, like painting as a kid, learning to draw....you're improvising and figuring it out. Same with learning to talk. And I see my niece and nephew want to just jump in and play music and sing, and there's already a sense of pitch and rhythm there. I think humans have an innate ability to improvise. It's problem solving, and we're pretty good at that as a species. I also think we're innately musical, and we just need to tap into that and learn it's ok to not know what to do yet and to just go for it.
Thanks for sharing that!! Good to see you making strides and helping your daughter learn to love guitar. You're very lucky to have such good friends to jam with. The only one that I can 'honk' is Andy Timmons, who I must say is a very nice guy.
Wow well done Liv !!! hey Dan she clearly already has an innate instinct for melody & playing rhythmically & was playing very musical ideas & phrases !! wonderful & inspiring just like her Dad !!! all the best take care cheers ChrisD.
This was beautiful! The interaction, pride and respect between you and Liv is heartwarming and a credit to the both of you. The technique of singing solos is intriguing and clearly works. The jam is stellar, but you guys held your own with style. More like this please guys, it made a slightly dull Wednesday that bit brighter :)
My new very fav TPS episode! So proud of your girl and your progress. It's truly inspiring Dan! .....and all of the solos were perfect. Thank you!!!!!!
@Dan, brother you actually taught her sooo much more in what you did. It wasn't just hearing the melody and getting her to visualize and hear all of that but; in fact, you were doing ear straining and sight screaming and getting her to hear and sing a more accurate pitch..DUDE! AMAZING! IMPLEMENTED! I so want to teach people this! It's literally a culmination of everything I learned in freshman music theory, aside from the part writing...
Singing along is a great tip when starting out. I started out doing that and it really does help. Well done Liv, after two weeks, that was great! Loving these Vlogs Dan...great work!
So much joy coming through my youtube window there! That song sounds very familiar. Thanks for the tips on preparing a solo. I will try to make use of some of them.
This is incredibly valuable stuff. I wonder if the humility Dan displays always comes directly from his lifelong pursuit to better himself as a musician. Big names, complex video/audio editing, but at the core of this particular little story is emotion; felt by the players and transmitted via interwebbery to all of us. Fucking well done and thank you.
Wow what a great idea you gave your talented daughter I’m going to try it as well, I sing all the time and I have found my self at work sometimes singing guitar runs at work at times… it was so easy to see you and your daughter have a strong bond with music and a special relationship… God bless
Awwwwhhh man what a great video. I've got 4 daughters ranging from age 4 all the way up to 21. They are all so unique. Enjoy your time with her before she grows up Dan. Time moves way to fast.
Great video Dan! You must have been so proud hearing what your daughter came up with in two weeks. Great work on her part. You did great on your two week challenge as well! That arpeg at 12:02 there abouts was great! The other guys did great but they stuck to their comfort zone. You were definitely more jazz oriented. Also that section of you practicing the tune at the slow tempo really reminded me of Bill Frisell. Cheers! Was great to hear you all jamming. Please do more of this if you can!! Made my day.
I really wish I had learned to sing solo lines early on - I’m always blown away by recordings of George Benson singing/soloing simultaneously and it’s clearly a big part of why his solo lines are so fluent across the whole fretboard. As for 2-5-1s : I’ve been working on precisely the same thing for the last month, and am slowly starting to develop a vocabulary of 2-5-1 phrases that I can pull out of the bag whenever I feel like it. Learning this has been the most liberating musical experience I have had in 30 years of playing. A big thank you to TPS’s first interview with Josh Smith, which inspired me to try studying jazz again, years after I had abandoned it.
When Liv was playing she completely naturally added in the 2nd on the high E string and it sounded amazing. I spent years thinking I was completely restricted to the notes in the scale! She's going to be a great musician.
Really fun and fantastic Dan. Congrats to your daughter and great work on your changes! Your tone with the iso cab really works. Mick's solo was also spot on. The two amps on low volume that you discussed in the other TPS vid was really great info. :)
Wow! That is really impressive! I have been playing for 20 years and I have never thought of doing that, I have just had my eyes opened and my mind blown!
Wow, my late dad taught me this. It's been the basis of my playing at jam nights since I was 18 or so, it works. I hope livs has great fun and makes lots of memories using it
Awesome video! Loved the way you had your daughter sing the scale beforehand. Never thought about that. Also, the jam session with everyone was top-notch!
This is such a wonderful video. Great job Dan. Also great job Liv. Im so inspired... my kids all play instruments and im going to add this to my and their practice! Thanks Dan!
P.S. you're a constant inspiration Dan, your focus, dedication, enthusiasm, openness to dig into new things, you are, a top roo. And you will have that jazz in your roo pocket, the one you carried your daughter around in... ok this is getting weird. YOU DID GREAT.
Awesome video! Good tip about singing the melody lines to train to hear the notes. I really like the different approaches you both take on music. Thanks and keep the videos coming!
Loved this Dan! My 12 year old daughter just asked me about getting a ukulele. I would love to share my love of music with my kids. My dad was my original inspiration. I remember him playing Honky Tonk by Bill Dogget on his Gibson ES 175. That was the sound that caught my attention and started me playing. Going to work on ii, V, I changes now too! Thanks Dan.
Me and my two boys (6&4) watch you guys every week. They refer to you affectionately as "the honkin' boys" (we're big fans of the horn). This was fantastic, and so fun! I really appreciate the bit at the end, the point is to keep progressing. Thanks for the inspiration. Great bit on singing the notes too, so helpful, and what a well played first solo! Keep it up!
The pride in his daughter oozing out of Dan in this vid is simply the greatest thing ever. Well done, Liv!
NEELY
Why am I not surprised that Olivia's choice of guitar is a tele...
Shes a wise woman ;)
You really think she had a choice? lol
@@lincolnosiris3665 LOL! Telepathed to the Tele tribe.
My daughter is 6 weeks old and I am hoping that I'll have this kind of relationship with her as she grows up.
Congratulations to you. I hope you do too... it was beautiful to watch... the look of (totally understandable) pride on Dan’s face at times was lovely to watch. Further evidence, if more was needed, that Dan’s a truly nice guy.
I’ve noticed that if you are excited about something, music, they will be too. Just don’t push it on them or they run off. Cheers!
Proud Papa!
I've been brainwashing my youngest since the day she was born hahahaha. She is almost 5 now and she still falls asleep to guitar videos. My plan is slowly unfolding. Got to have someone take care of the guitars after I'm gone lol.

Liv has a great voice too. My daughter is only 2 but maybe one day she will want to play!
Dammit Liv, I spent over a decade and your first solo was more tasteful than my first 3 months of lead.
This is by far the best video of that pedal show to me. I learned a lot. And having reached 52 without having children recently I thought It really could have been nice to have a daughter.

Oh my! Isolation has not been good for poor Red! He’s turned into an acoustic and lost his pickups! Well done Liv! Some great tips here Dan! Thanks
GREAT idea! I was just recording a song for my wife, on the occasion of our 40th anniversary, with our oldest son! Can't imagine a better time.
Amazing first solo Liv!!! I loved that so much, it was very soulful and heartfelt, nothing like my first solo!! Great song Dan, really enjoyed the blog, everyone's playing including yours was awesome. Cheers, Ash

4:10 Proud dad moment... parenting win!
Truly fantastic Dan. Great way to teach Olivia solo melody by singing it & also a very proud dad moment ! (My first hurdle: to get any of my kids to pick up an instrument.)
Sweet Dad and Daughter ❤️🎸
Well done Liv and Dan!
1. Well done Liv!
2. Brilliant video Dan. Inspirational.
3. Fathers and their daughters - sometimes meh mostly amazing. I have three, haven’t seen them since Xmas after watching this I’m missing them like mad😭😭😭.
Mick's solo was AMAZING!!!!!

It's wiring the language parts of your brain to work with the fret board!
brilliant! love the creativity and vocalization of the melody. now to unlearn some bad habits.
Thanks for sharing that!! Good to see you making strides and helping your daughter learn to love guitar. You're very lucky to have such good friends to jam with. The only one that I can 'honk' is Andy Timmons, who I must say is a very nice guy.
Those were the most “proud dad” faces ever! Great job guys. She did awesome!

I love Baroque but ummmm.....
Dan and friends - that was awesome. Fun, inspirational, and educational. Love you guys.
Of course Dan’s daughter has a telecaster. Great advice, she did amazing for two weeks.
Singing along is a great tip when starting out. I started out doing that and it really does help. Well done Liv, after two weeks, that was great! Loving these Vlogs Dan...great work!
Cheers Ed 👍
That's one proud papa. Great job Liv!!!
Mick had the best tone, I have to say!
So much joy coming through my youtube window there!
That song sounds very familiar.

Ah, thanks Piers, you’re so welcome 🤓🙏🙏
Dan and Mick you guys played masterfully!
Best video on the application of a scale.
Wow what a great idea you gave your talented daughter I’m going to try it as well, I sing all the time and I have found my self at work sometimes singing guitar runs at work at times… it was so easy to see you and your daughter have a strong bond with music and a special relationship… God bless

"TPS TILL I DIE!" , new t-shirt. Awesome episode.
Very cool!!!!! you guys ROCK!!!!!! Liv is gonna go places!! Good job girl!!!! and you too Dan!!
WOW! A Super Group! Such a joyful sound!
PPS Brilliant !!!! absolutely Brilliant playing from everybody !!! Bravo so much fun listening to this!!!!

Proud father! Very sweet and real.
One of my favourite TPS videos. Amazing work!
The first five minutes of this has put a huge smile on my face. Brilliant Dan
She's got a great sense of melody. Very natural!
Dammit. This is the best guitar lesson ever. More please!
Great job, Olivia! You have a wonderful sense of melody!
AWESOME!!! I took a break from the TH-cams and came back to this....so much fun
Reminds me of Ariel playing over Nothing from nothing. Great work Dan. Practice pays!
Peter Green was big with singing and or humming notes also!! So cool to see Family stuff Dan!
When Liv was playing she completely naturally added in the 2nd on the high E string and it sounded amazing. I spent years thinking I was completely restricted to the notes in the scale! She's going to be a great musician.
Really fun and fantastic Dan. Congrats to your daughter and great work on your changes! Your tone with the iso cab really works. Mick's solo was also spot on. The two amps on low volume that you discussed in the other TPS vid was really great info. :)
What a great band!
Wow! That is really impressive! I have been playing for 20 years and I have never thought of doing that, I have just had my eyes opened and my mind blown!
This video makes me happy. Cheers Dan, great solo and your daughter is doing great! I’m sure you are very proud
Loved this, what a great relationship you have with your daughter, speaks volumes!
Yep. Definitely enjoyed that one.
Cool moment with your daughter Dan! I bet that put a huge smile on your face for a long time! That's fun!
Yes. Jack D is such beast. Great playing dan.
That is an amazing way to teach how to solo, great job Mr. Dan!
This brings so much joy. Thank you. I cannot wait to do this with my daughter in 10 or so years.
Wow, my late dad taught me this. It's been the basis of my playing at jam nights since I was 18 or so, it works. I hope livs has great fun and makes lots of memories using it
Just watched this for probably the twentieth time!!!! Love it. The tones of all of you in the clip at the end is awesome!!!!
Cheers Andrew 🤓🙏
There is no greater joy than sharing something you love with your child. Nice one, Dan!
Incredible, incredible jam!!! Thumbs up fellas!
Wow Dan and co! Great music! Dan your playing is always awesome!
wow. I'm blown away by your progress dan. So inspiring
Always such great inspiration. Thanks Dan for your openness.
This is awesome, Dan. Thanks for sharing such a special moment x
Incredible video. Going to try the same two week challenge with my son starting today. Awesome, thanks to everyone involved.
Very much a win. I needed that little Jam at the end. Thanks.
Food for the soul. Thanks.
So much good content on 16 minutes!
What a lovely young lady! Some great playing by all as well.
Awesome video! Loved the way you had your daughter sing the scale beforehand. Never thought about that. Also, the jam session with everyone was top-notch!
Man! that was a super enjoyable episode! made me smile all the time.. much needed. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Great video Dan. Glad to see you safe and well. It’s always cool to track ones own progress. Makes the hard work seem worthwhile. Cheers
This is such a wonderful video. Great job Dan. Also great job Liv. Im so inspired... my kids all play instruments and im going to add this to my and their practice! Thanks Dan!
P.S. you're a constant inspiration Dan, your focus, dedication, enthusiasm, openness to dig into new things, you are, a top roo. And you will have that jazz in your roo pocket, the one you carried your daughter around in... ok this is getting weird. YOU DID GREAT.
Awesome video! Good tip about singing the melody lines to train to hear the notes. I really like the different approaches you both take on music. Thanks and keep the videos coming!
Both segments of that were ace! Lots of infectious fun, cheers.
This very well might be the best advice I’ve seen on the subject...way to friggin’ go, Liv!!!
This was awesome. Your daughter did great! I'm gonna start making my students do that.
I wish I could double thumbs up this video! Awesome jam session!
Loved this Dan! My 12 year old daughter just asked me about getting a ukulele. I would love to share my love of music with my kids. My dad was my original inspiration. I remember him playing Honky Tonk by Bill Dogget on his Gibson ES 175. That was the sound that caught my attention and started me playing. Going to work on ii, V, I changes now too! Thanks Dan.
Me and my two boys (6&4) watch you guys every week. They refer to you affectionately as "the honkin' boys" (we're big fans of the horn). This was fantastic, and so fun! I really appreciate the bit at the end, the point is to keep progressing. Thanks for the inspiration. Great bit on singing the notes too, so helpful, and what a well played first solo! Keep it up!
