    “Dont think of your solo as a collection of licks, but as a narrative”. That is such a great way to put it.

      I just paused the video at this part out of disbelief, had to go to the comments- can’t BELIEVE he got that many sounds out of 2 notes 🤣

  • @justinpaquette224
    @justinpaquette224 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    That's the real deal stuff. If people keep putting out videos like that, guitarists are gonna start playing music rather than just trying to play faster and faster

    Ahh, glasshoppa, It's a Zen thing. Less is more.

    Great video.!. 👍👍

  • @tomzeto
    @tomzeto 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The game changer for me was to stop improvising (mainly a mashup of all I’ve learned over the years) on a track, but instead think about what I want to play and then sing it out loud. Then figure out how to play it on guitar. This is how I found my unique voice instead of being a clone of my favorite guitar players. It’s kind of like George Benson‘s approach when he sings while he plays.

    Wow what a great video on soloing! The best solos I've ever played is when i had a story in mind I was trying to convey. Another thing you demonstrated about soloing is s p a c e. When I first started to solo, I tried to fill every moment with a note. But by being courageous and not playing, you make some amazing music. Thanks for sharing this. I really enjoy the joy you show in your playing.

    Superb! One of the most helpful metaphors I’ve heard for soloing. Tuck Andress told me that guitarists often overlook their secret weapon of rhythm, and spoke of himself as being a fan of the one-note solo. You’ve given not just a paradigm for soloing, but a purpose. Thanks so much!

    I really appreciate this take on music. All the blues greats of old have awesome music but really simplistic, basic, and fundamental understandings of the guitar. Somehow, their music has influenced generation after generation. I'm not a full-time musician and even as an amateur/hobbyist I don't have a lot of time to practice scales. Utilizing what I know in the time I have is exactly what I need.
