    Of all the lessons in TH-cam, this lesson is what I love the most. You taught us not just the solo but also what is the foundation of this solo and how it works.

    • @notebender4
      @notebender4 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Indeed I think that would be a welcome idea, as all music is pretty much the rehashing of prior music, it would be a great way for people to get some classic chops into their repertoires...

    Rob, what effects are you using? How do you get that sound?

    • @swiftlessons
      @swiftlessons  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hey Joseph, thanks for your comment! I’m actually not using any pedal effects aside from my amps built in reverb and overdrive. But in post production I did add a touch of compression and chorus, which is common to Brian’s setup. I think this sound is more attributable to the Gibson pickups, boosted mids and lows, tube amp and technique.

    • @swiftlessons
      @swiftlessons  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks, this is definitely a heavy lesson, I’d recommend just focus on the scales and then try to get down a couple of the simpler licks. I tried to learn this in my first couple years of playing, and came back to it maybe 5 years later, it was great to see how much I had improved as a guitarist during that time.

      @@prezbotane6364 I'm not a fan of Anton's style of music, but he does a great job of this solo. Nails all the vibrato, bends and staccato that is unique to Brain May.
      Learning the solo doesn't take long at all, it's short, but learning all of the phrasing, vibrato etc......takes a long time.
