I am using the Victory DP40 a boss RC3 Looper and a Keeley Super Phat Mod Overdrive.
You can buy the backing tracks from www.mrpeterhonore.com or www.bandcamp.com

Nice one dude :)
Thank you legend 🙌🏻
wow! even jistin also spares some time to watch other's videos.
JustinGuitar dude!!! Dude? Cross the pond dude! Well done Justin🤙
@@danishpete do you do Skype lessons?
Pete's purple pentatonic plectrum picking is particularly pleasant.
Purely perception...probably. 😏
Alliteration always amuses all and amasses awesome anticipation
I've got no idea what I'm talking about
Perfect picking of the particulars you prefer...
Magnificent alliteration
A powerful pontification of pacadermic proportions
Who thinks Pete should make a guitar course !
I would buy it
I'd buy 10 copies.
I would also
Pete's style is very good for learning and teaching imho. Too many new guitarists start out trying to learn blues style solo guitar riffs and licks and never really become musical or inclusive and get disillusioned with not having any "range" to their playing.
🙋♂️ im very interested in something like learn in your pace online thing
So would I!
yeah baby...
Pete plays so musical that even the most simple stuff sounds incredibly meaningfull.
Thank you. That is my goal, to play one note and people will turn around and go, wow who and what is that....
@@danishpete Great video Pete. Which blues scale are you using over the G9sus4?
@@danishpete as long as I turn my amp up loud enough, Im pretty sure I'll get that exact response no matter what I play...... But not in a good way :'( :'D
Am I the only one who can just listen to play jam tracks and improvise for hours? The guy plays like a dream, and it's literally what I want my soundtrack to my life to sound like.
*thumbs up*
It's all about the phrasing. Because Pete's phrasing is so musical, he could get away with (almost) playing any note, and as long as it moves to a good note, it will sound great. It's like Robben Ford... Most of what he plays is pentatonic, with some tasty diminished/altered scale thrown in. But it's his phrasing that makes it sublime. I put Pete and Robben in a similar category, which is a big compliment to both of them. If you listen to other well know TH-camrs, you will immediately hear the difference. It's all about the groove and the phrasing. It has to feel good to be good.
Oh, and I forgot to mention... The tone! Lovely edge of breakup, neck tele pickup, a little reverb. Ah! Breaks up when hit hard but clean when less attack. Magnificent!
Phrasing! We, as guitarists need to remember to take a break from note-slinging every once in a while. Pete has this down. His playing is top notch and melodic, but yeah - his phrasing is killer.
Danish Pete - a living legend. Make no mistake.
I've been playing for 30 years and I just realized that Pete has changed my playing more than any other single guitarist. In another 30 years I should be as good as him
Just noticed how you almost never end phrases on the root. Builds amazing tension. Super cool man. Thanks!
Oddly, I was listening to Guthrie Govan talk about this during a 5 part video music session. He makes some very interesting point about it. I'd recommend also viewing that.
Do you mean the root of the chord or the root of the key (c) ?
@@aliagators3360 i know this is late, but it would be both as the phrases end on the 1 chord, a Cmaj7
8:28 "That's just about sitting down and learning the fretboard" Well said. That's what most guitar enthousiasts avoid but that's the knowledge which opens all the doors.
You all Know this man put in years and years of hard work too be this great, he is one of the best well rounded guitarist of all time !
its his job
It's his job to sound good alright!
The intro progression gave me a real Mr. Rogers Neighborhood vibe.
Pete's phrasing is beautiful!
I always feel square cause I like playin' clean but, your playing shows me how cool clean can be. The notes may be simple but, your timing is magical.
Well said
Much prefer watching you do these kind of “lessons” vs the product stuff. You’re playing is so tasty 😋. Definitely, want to steal some vibe, and it’s super helpful to know what you’re doing (scale wise).
I appreciate your sense of humor and what you bring to the table for the products, but you are a real player. Love learning your approach.
Just watched this again and played along 3 years later and I. must say, I am much further along in my guitar journey now thanks to these insights. Amazing stuff Pete.
Oh yes, Pete you have influenced me to 'dust off the Ditto' once again! Thanks
P.
Danish Pete, American Tim here. You rock. That is all. See you at the iHop in Anaheim again this January. Peace and pancakes to you.
Man, young guys n gals so lucky to have free access to champions like Pete to learn from... very cool.
The "letting the chord work" helped me enjoy playing a lot more!
i even think Beethoven would pat Pete on the back.... its a rare gift to hear a melody in the head and bring it to life with the fingers ...guitar or piano doesnt matter. that gift of talent will shine through always. Yes Pete has a sprinkling of magic pixie dust over his soul for the guitar thats for sure and humble to boot. John Mayer recognizes it in Pete and told him so . therefore Mr Pete keep the fingers moving and tones free flowing. Heaven is watching .
10:00 This is a great chord progression to teach someone how to mix up major and minor pents to get a much more dynamic sound. For me it wasn't until I felt comfortable doing that, that I really started to feel like I could make music! :)
I like simple notes. Please, make more video of simple and jazzy sounds.
Literally the most inspiring guitarist to me right now. I can’t replicate it worth a damn. But I try and it’s better than what I was doing before
Where’s part 2, you should do this for all your backing tracks as a series. Very informative, entertaining and a pleasure to watch 👍
Great stuff....more please
Pete you are the real deal fella, thanks.
Ever consider doing a lesson site? I'm sure a lot of people would be interested!
Pete definitely should!
Heck YEAH man, I’m much more interested in learning his mindset to his beautiful playing than gear reviews.
You can't teach SEXY 😜
“Yousician is the best way to...” *loud crashing noise ending commercial*.
Yeah id love to see that!👍🏻👍🏻
Pete: "I would do this"
Me: "*tries this*"
Pete: "Yeah you see it's just smoothy time"
Me: "brain fries"
lay off the meth
Just look up the major and minor pentatonic scales, ideally with notes on them. If you want really know what notes to aim for, do the same with the chords, which he tells you in the video. I would print them out. Then put your fingers in those places as he has for the scales by following the scale chart(s). He's playing mainly in the major pentatonic. So apart from the major/minor scale you can shoot for some of the notes in the chords as they go by taking note of which chord is playing to know which notes of which chord to go for by using your chord charts. You can pick out any note in the chord being played and it will be 'right' as it's already in the chord being played. The C major pentatonic scale is really just the A minor pentatonic as both contain the same notes but starting on C instead of A for the A minor shaped version. But its a good idea to learn both shapes as each has its own use for different runs and licks. Start with finding one note (in this case C) that 'works' and sounds 'right' then play another and return to the original note testing how each note of the scale 'works'. Do this until you find sequence of say 4 notes that you can use as a motif or reoccurring phase you can remember. Once you're comfortable with the bit you have that works try a little bit more experimenting. Play the notes in the reverse sequence, mix them up. Doesn't work? Go back to the safe 4 note thing then try again. And don't stop trying. You can do it !!! I mean, it is just smoothy time...p.s... If this is below your ability level, my apologies, but hopefully it may help someone anyway.:)
10% notes choice
90% Timing, Dynamic and Feeling
Good Job ;)
The italian guy at Andertons
Not only is Pete's playin tasteful and musical his tone is just fantastic . That tele has that amazing fender tone I chase .
Wow! Light bulb 💡 on how to insert the blues scale. Funny as I know the theory behind it but i never thought of it. That’s a SPICE Pete thanks.
This is like therapy to me
Superb lesson Pete , many thanks
Pete is my favorite player at Andertons.....also that purple cs tele sounds amazing
If Pete did guitar lessons I'd sign up in a heartbeat to try and even gain 50% of his skill
Key theory is the best thing you can ever learn. Match it with your pentatonic/ 7 note scales right up the neck, and the world is open to you. Never learn a solo again - just improvise what you feel 🌴
Agree100%
Nice little clinic, Pete. Thank you
Fedt Peter. Tak
my gosh pete i am watching these videos just to watch and listen to your playing ...it’s a wonderful touch you have sir...
excellent, thanks!
I can feel the wood of that road worn neck through the screen
Pete, you are the man. This exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you for listening to your audience and delivering what I believe are the best guitar lessons/insights available. You know what- I think you could combine pedal/gear demo into these type of lesson and have the ultimate content. You kind of did that when you mentioned what pedal you were using, but feel free to show some settings or adjustments to the pedal and you have yourself an amazing gear demo/guitar lesson combo. I will watch this video over and over, and I know I'm not alone. Bravo.
These videos have been very useful for me, I’ve been learning a lot still in the late beginner/ intermediate level. Since I live in a small industrial town in the US these type of videos have been really helpful so thanks to Pete and all the other awesome TH-cam musicians that do lessons online you guys are awesome.
Thank you very much for the free lesson, Mr. Honore, it's much appreciated
This is what modern day Clapton does. You can tell by all the solos he does in most songs post 2000
I agree with all the previous comments, and yes you were definetely in a really nice articulate laid back zone. Easy to enjoy and learn from. It would be great if you could do more of the same maybe dial it back a little for the kess skilled maybe to talk about phrasing. And dial it forward of course for those better players out there, not me!
Pete, you are one of the tastiest players ever! Bravo!
This is awesome! So, so melodic! I love how you slowly add more and more to the improvisation. I'm already starting to get the basic hang of this!
Extremely useful, I would love to see more of this!
Distilled tastiness in an easy to understand way that I only have been able to figure out in 12 years of playing.
Legend!
Pete's playing is always pleasant
Very helpful.you rock pete!
Pete - you are awesome. This is beautiful and simple. And simply beautiful. Thank you. (More please).
Very nice touch with the minor on the five chord! Beautiful playing 👍
Cool‼️👍🏾😎Yet,..reassuring + a Joy to see & hear✨🎶🎸 Younger Musicians keep the “feel” in Music/Guitar playing ALIVE!! Go Pete Go❗️🤘🏾⚡️✨🎶🎸🎛🔊🔊👍🏾
I think this is the most inspiring video I watched on the subject of pentatonic or other scales and use it to solo. Use the chords to help and make me sound better! The playing technique is superb.Thank you Pete.
Met Pete at NAMM 2020 last weekend, he was at bad cat’s booth and seemed genuinely surprised my buddy and I wanted a picture. He obliged and I’m super stoked to have met him!
Lot of it is just about the touch, dynamics, feel. I could definitely apply this advice
Pete, I am truly amazed how much theory there is behind your playing. Whilst it looks to be a 'go with the flow', there actually is some logics to it.
This video teaches much more than all those guitar books ;). Now back to practicing scales..
Spicey and so tasteful with a bit of purple flavour. Cool stuff!
Thanks Pete.
Pete, your finesse is exquisite. 🙌👐
I think you have hit the nail on the head with this walk through video, not only does it help us mere mortals try to understand how to fit it all together, it also shows just how fricking great a musician you are. I could listen to you all day😄👍👍👏👏
Just hit record and print the CD....I could listen to this for days. Thank you for the impact you are making in the guitar world community!
You have really helped me understand the relationship between pentatonic scales and chords in an easy to understand way. Thank you my friend.
Please shoot more of these Sir! You are a great communicator and an inspiration to keep working at it. Thanks!
Oh joy!
You know when work is soooooo tedious, and you're just stuck, feeling......well, feeling not much really.
And then, by sheer fluke, or some devine intervention, you stumble across a delightful and thoroughly unforeseen gem.
That's how this video had made me feel. I mean, I'm not even a guitar player, though NOW I wish I was.
Ive very occasionally seen Pete on a couple of Andertons videos, and have always been blown away by his sense of fun and of course fabulous playing. Didn't really think to find him elsewhere. I'm on it now.
Thanks Pete. This was an absolute joyful pick me up. I'm sure, in my ignorance, I'm not aware of much of the musicianship you've displayed here, especially reading some of the more educated comments, but I still remain inspired and thoroughly enriched by this wonderful demonstration. 👍
Awesome tele and sound too!
Perfect Format. Pete please keep doing this
Awesome. So useful 🤘
Great lesson thx :)
You are my favorite andertons personality Pete. Thanks for the lesson buddy.
Best guitar player in TH-cam!!!!!
So awesome! Thank you
Great lesson bud. Nice of you to listen to the fans and give them what they want by mixing things up. #legend
Excellent lesson! Love the tone out of that Tele.
No preassure Pete,but you (and to some extent the rest of the Anderton guys)have become a beacon of sweet relief,incredible jams and tasty licks.I'm so grateful!!! Take Care💜!
Thanks Pete I love jamming to your tracks brotha
Amen. Those backing tracks collections are pure GOLD.
Top Guitar Player & your backing tracks really helped me get me guitar mojo back! Cheers
That was awesome, Pete. Thanks.
Thanks Pete! Just super, simple, understandable and fun. Cheers dude. More please!
Excellent lesson which unlocked many doors. Thanks mate
Love this guy’s playing
Great playing and instruction that’s simple and easy to understand. Thank you Pete.
Sounds incredible. Licks, guitar, amp...amazing. And actually THE BEST smooth jazz instruction I have ever seen.
Pete you have such a great feel it is a joy to watch and listen to you play!
What a nice morning, acoustic guitar, black coffee, Danish bacon and Danish Pete. That rig sounds sweet man and as always some well measured playing... Sorted!!!
Good taste - a rare commodity amongst guitarists.
Thanks Pete. Great lesson makes me think with my mind and hands
The Dane explains things well. I enjoy his playing and how humble he is about it. GO PETE!
This was so great it had me reaching for my guitar .... but I forgot I had major shoulder surgery and can’t play for 6-9 months. Made me forget I couldn’t play! Awesome video Pete!
Thank you so very much for this delightful piece of guitar playing and teaching. Fantastic lesson!!!
Great Pete! You're totally right, this type of video enriches and compliments the gear review content you put out with Andertons - it's all great but once in a while we need to catch up with some of your sublime playing too. Thanks!
Excellent video Pete. Just what I was looking for!
Great insight into your thought process when improvising The breakdown of the chord progressions from your backing track series is a great idea. I love those tracks by the way. Your style of guitar playing is very tasty indeed, very impressive! Keep on rockin dude 👍
I know that you could have had a very different career if you wanted - but I bet it is not just your family that is glad you made the decisions that you did - I bet there are a lot of people like me who really appreciate what you do now - especially something like this where you give us some of your thoughts on playing. Really appreciate your work and your playing!
Thanks for the little tips and really simple grace notes to put in there over the chord set. Very coooool and jazzzzzzy ;)
that improvisation is just perfect
Thanks Pete, yes to the guitar course
Thank you very much Pete. Cool. You explain very well. Cheers!
