Huge congrats to Cordy & Lenny welcoming Elodie to the land of legato. This was a funny project that pulled me out a bit of a January slumber funk, thanks for watching guys. Vids, apps and courses all in the pipeline :) x
I learned about you from Cordy's channel. Outstanding playing. Great lesson. Thank you. Subscribed.
Thank you so much for stopping by and subscribing, glad you enjoyed the video.
it's like each finger on your left hand has it's very own brain...Jeez!! Amazing playing David.
Hah that’s actually a really interesting way to describe it. This kind of a lick, to do it correctly, requires individual control over the finger movements whilst the hand remains still like a platform. So I get what you’re saying! 😃 thanks for watching and the kind words 🙏🏻👍🏻🎸🐝
John Cordy sent me here!🎉
He is a good chap! Welcome, thanks for stopping by :D
Sir, welcome back! Glad you are doing better. Loved the collab with JNC lol and you are right! I thought my notifications were messed up cuz I receive like 150 daily about a new JNC video! That guy is a video producing machine! Great lessons btw, as always!
For some reason I wasn’t already subscribed to you! The JNC video was brilliant and this’ll be my practice routine tonight.
Also, have to say I love Solo. I was a launch day customer of the iOS version and have zero complaints about the app. Truly unique and a brilliant practice tool/companion.
Thanks for subscribing Chris! Glad you enjoyed the vids. Good luck practicing and thanks also for digging solo!
Great lesson 🔥
Thanks a lot man 🙌
God bless you 🙌
thanks Ronald, really glad you're enjoying the content!
Brilliant stuff as always, Beebs! If you ever made ‘Pathways To Legato’ I’d certainly wake up early to queue outside the internet for a copy.
Ah thanks Bobby! Nah TQ has already nailed the legato course gold standard, not sure there’s much more I could add! I post the unique-ish approaches/revelations I have on here, but appreciate the sentiment mate. ❤️🙏🏻🎸🐝
cheers Beebs - great vid and breakdown.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Hi Dave. Excellent lesson! This concept of ´´expansion and compression´´ is really the ´´ace in the hole´´ for who wants to improve their legato. What a pity to hear that the sales of Solo on Android have not been very satisfactory (for my part I could sell at least 5 copies to my guitar students as far as I know). I think I'll have to buy an Iphone if I want to keep taking advantage of the new Solo updates lol. Cheers.
That Guitar is actually a real dark green color, when John had it, it always looked Black. CORDY has a KID!!!!
Yea it’s an incredible colour, mostly looks like a slightly off black and then when the light catches it becomes a gorgeous dark green. Superb vintage strat vibes.
Nice legato line David. BTW when is the solo update coming?
Hey Rob, thanks! Can't give specific dates, but safe to say sooner than later now. Make sure you're on the beta list if you want first access to help test.
Great lesson and some tasty playing Beebs! This is exactly the issue I've run into post learning Tom's stuff so v useful tips
Thanks Luke! Yea, I remember it being huge breakthrough for me. Tom partly covers the transition stuff in ML part 3 but he hadn't released it at the time I was figuring this stuff out, so a lot the development was trial and error elbow grease after he had pointed it out in my playing. Fun times!
Sounds incredible!
Thanks Jake!
I learn a lot here ❤️🔥 thanks 🙏
My pleasure!
Great video Beebs, top playing and very useful info. Just what I needed since I was getting a bit 'winter-lazy', this woke me up! And I thought I was done buying guitars...but those K-Lines...:)
Thank Pat! I know that lazy winter feeling hah. K-lines are incredible and great value price wise if you're after a vintagey S. :)
Glad you're back and can't wait for the update of Solo hope it includes an update to Android. When will you and Cordy going to do a trading licks video please.😁
Cheers dude, re: lick trades with the dad: funny you ask, I've got a daft vlog vid banked from ages ago. I'll see if I can upload soon!
@@DavidBeebee thank from the west coast of the pond in the city of angels wait no angels here unless you count the baseball team and there in Anaheim. Again thanks for the tab and 2 great videos today....
Smooth and very tasty legato :) also good to hear that you're working to upgrade Solo app - I'm Android user, so I guess update is coming later. One thing that amazes me and makes me wonder why... Why don't you play in perfect 4ths tuning, knowing the advantages for this legato stuff :) (I play in standard tuning)
Thanks very much! Re: not playing in 4ths, this is a great topic for a video actually, but briefly, I'd already learnt the fretboard note names in standard tuning very thoroughly prior to restarting my guitar journey. I also play a lot of function type gigs and used to teach a lot in schools, which 4ths would be a nightmare for. To be honest, staying in standard has resulted in some interesting line construction quirks and good challenges. 4ths is amazing for visualisation, but you can totally apply the same logic to standard with a few compensations.
@@DavidBeebee I'd love to see such video "why I'm playing in standard tuning". I think Tom Quayle mentioned on one of Solo app videos, that you're on standard tuning and you would uncover some tips for using Solo app and this tuning. I think this would help us a lot. Cheers!
@@graycolors2879 added to the video ideas list! cheers
Good video)
Thank you! Cheers!
❤❤❤
🙏🏻❤️
Weirdly I used solo for the first time in a while today (I've got myself down a rabbit mine using a major thirds tuning (not A major but G2 aug), (it's more easy for thick people to visualise and hear I think!) coz I can play basic root position jazz chords much more easily and one or two shapes work for each chord across the neck for the most part, because it's symmetrical! So I've been re-learning everything and haven't been doing much else guitar wise) and why I've not used the app for a while.
Then I wondered about the update that you talked about in the podcast, so some good news!
But, my questions are these: is the iOS market that much bigger? Will we get an Android update? is the podcast no more? I hope not... (I get that you and Tom use apple stuff so that's a priority) great playing by the way!
Oh wow major thirds tuning?! What is each string tuned to?! Re: Solo. Can't give specifics, but our focus has to be iOS right now, as yes the market is literally 4 times bigger. We somewhat reluctantly shifted resources to build Android after the initial iOS release (due to maannny requests and complaints for it), then almost nobody bought it in comparison! haha. It's just a very loud, vocal market, but doesn't really buy apps it seems. We will absolutely keep supporting Android users, but for now focus has to go back to iOS to get back to our original feature roadmap/plan. Pod will be back, and thanks for the kind words on the playing. Cheers Chris
@@DavidBeebee the tuning I'm using is basically using the G and B strings as usual then top Eb, you just repeat that on the lower strings giving a G2 augmented triad on the bottom three strings and G3 aug on the top set! The reason I chose that option is I know those strings already! (B and Eb aug triads are also there in the open strings! Obviously...) looking forward to the update on Android when you get round to it. Cheers
So your the Guy who taught John Cordy all he KNOWS !!!! And you have the Black signature series Cordy springfield guitar.
lol I haven’t taught Cordy anything, we just kinda like the same stuff, legato, jazz and dark memes and taking the piss out of each other 😹
@@DavidBeebee Well his Dogs love you.
@@ksharpe10 he does have cute dogs, but I've never met them!
Sir can we get the backing track??
Hi there, the backing track is available from John Cordy's Patreon, I gifted it to him to use as pleases. :)
Thanks for the lesson. I can play this at half speed without too much trouble. But there is no way I could ever pay it at full speed. My fingers have never moved that fast. Any suggestions? I don't think it's a simple matter of practicing. Like I said, I just can't move my fingers that fast. Right and left hands.
Hi Tony, you're welcome. I think you may be unintentionally raising an interesting point about on expectations and the long game. It's hard to say for any given random individual what the limits of achievement may be, but it's really common to not have the full picture of just how long this stuff takes. Let me think on this, I've got an idea for a video that may help. In the meantime, I would try to find satisfaction and enjoyment at the speeds where you can absolutely and consistently nail it. Keep practicing.
