Thanks for this one David. Andy Latimer has always been one of the most expressive and lyrical players out there. He and Gilmour were the guitarists that really opened up the melodic and emotional side of rock solos.
thanks David for yet another special lesson. While i can & do admire the art of shredding, I think that expressive, melodic playing is yet a whole level (or two) above that again. I find it to be so expressive; an insight into the musicians personal thoughts, feelings, and emotions. While Gilmore is known for this style, its awesome hearing others who as just as expressive. Which brings me back to my fav player, Mr Steve Lukather. As SL often states, he is by no means a shredder, yet feels that he is far more expressive when he’s writng & playing melodic guitar licks. I also think that the same can be said for many Blues Guitarists, and the first person that comes to mind for me is Gary Moore. His live versions of Empty Rooms, and Seperate Ways are amazing. Anyway, thanks again David. I look forward to your next episode… cheers, Ewan.
Awesome lesson. I’ve love Camel. 70s progressive rock is a massive rabbit hole to go down. I continue to find bands from back then that astound me. A couple years ago, for example, I discovered a band called Grannie that blows my mind (though their name is probably why they didn’t gain greater fame).
you absolutely nailed what Andrew Latimer is all about, excellent lesson thank you.. I'd love it if you could do a vid on another camel tune, ICE. absolutely full of feel & emotion..
Really nice, showing and demonstration of Andy Latimer emotive guitar, been a fan of Camel for years. Now I am learning it from your example. Have also pulled out my old LP collection of Camel for re-listen
I was introduced to Camel, when I accidentally stumbled on the track "Stationary Traveller". I then checked out "Ice" - both knock out guitar pieces. Latimer's chord progressions are usually topped off by that last chord which makes the overall chord sequence interesting and full. He seems to know how resolve the chord sequence with clever insertions (that's my $0.02 worth anyway) How I missed Camel's work during my youth is beyond me. That 1970s period was so rich with music it was probably easier to hide superb groups like Camel and guitar players like Latimer. Better late than never hey?
Really? Aside from being in the key of Bm, this solo and the song For Today sounds nothing like Hotel California. The chord progression is different as well, so I'm not sure how you're hearing that song.
@@LateNightLessons I enjoy your lessons! Your methods are clear…the lessons are small enough to be absorbed, and your technical skill and vibrato are as good as any guitarist I’ve ever seen. I just meant the chord pattern reminded me of Hotel
Great episode! Latimer is an inspiration.
Camel is awesome, and their _Flight of The Snow Goose_ is just wonderful.

thanks
Camel is a criminally underrated band and Latimer is a legendary guitarist and songwriter 🤩

the solo on " ice" from i can see your house from here is very expressive one of my fave guitarists thanks david
Thanks for introducing me to that Dave.
Hotel California progression with a different approach to soloing..cool
The Hotel California chord progression is a classic Flamenco guitar chord sequence
One of my favorites

What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend David ❤😊
Thanks for the awesome great lesson.. Andy is a genius with phrases and melodies… one of my favorites is the solo from the song Lies
Loving it. Thank you

Great lesson Dave ... Could you please do some BTO ala Randy Bachman and also the Guess Who era ?
again with the choice cuts! you rock man
Ha, Hotel Camel ;)
I didnt discover andy or camel till i read a interview with mikael from opeth.
Great lesson! If you dig Queens I think it would be rad to do a Josh Homme lesson and dig into his funky phrasing.
Sounded like Hotel California
Really?

You should really do some VDGG/Peter Hammill video
Thank you! Andy has been an absolute favorite for a long time...
What are you using to get that sustain.
when are you going to take off the hat???
