      F***ing Props to you and I could tell that that was hella painful (2 minuets in the vid is where you show your pain) for you to do sense the solo is as long as a song nowadays. Edit: It was 2:07 not 2:00.

    This solo shows you just how much joy can be extracted from a simple pentatonic scale. I was listening to this sat in front of a keyboard once and tried to kinda play along and was blown away by the fact that it was almost intuitive. The whole thing is essentially just variations on a pentatonic scale. Like it really doesn’t do anything fancy. But it’s SO. FREAKING. BEAUTIFUL

    • @AntarikshRajkonwar
      @AntarikshRajkonwar ปีที่แล้ว +11

    • @danielcash1037
      @danielcash1037 ปีที่แล้ว +42

      @@AntarikshRajkonwar I think with any instrument really, if you're wanting to learn how to use the pentatonic scale, learn riffs and solos and listen to music is important. But Just sitting there and messing around creating random stuff is very powerful too. See what you can come up with. different musicians do differnet things with the pentatonic scale (they also include other notes). Cool thing with the guitar is that the same notes can be played in multiple different shapes (12 fret of d sting is the same as the 7th fret of the A string). But each shape lends itself well to different licks. E.g. your fingers can reach particular notes easier in one shape than they can in another. Look up the CAGED system. For starters, just look at the E and A shapes. Learn the E first and then the A and mess around. then learn what's called an arpeggio (which is just a broken chord) to move from one shape to the next. After that, learn the BB box (just a box containing the pentatonic notes in a convienient shape) and learn how to transition from all those shapes with an arpeggio to bridge the gap. then you're gonna sound pretty cool.

      really man, a good guitarist can turn the simple into a full plate!

In fact, his improvisation is absurd, his live solos are usually 300 times better than studio ones

    Freebird was my anthem when I was in my 20s in the mid 1970s. Became a bass player when I turned 40, always heard that more, but means I'm locked in on the guitarist. Recently watching my old faves on TH-cam these days, for inspiration, for sanity in an insane world. The live version in Oakland 1977 is awesome, but I can never just see the guitarist(s), how they DO IT! Thank you, thank you, for this video! Great job, friend! Your speed on the frets so good... and the bends, wow, THAT'S how he did that! First vid watched on your channel, can't wait to listen and see more. Hoping my husband picks up his guitar again....

    I come back to this every year. I’ve watched it at least 100x. This is unbelievably sick and by FAR the BEST solo cover I have ever heard. You have a serious talent.
