    Josh Smith is a ferocious blues guitarist.
    But his most brilliant approach is actually amazingly simple.
    Using this one trick, he creates a melody and a song every time he plays the blues!

    In jazz I think they call it exposition, development and recapitulation. Josh is one of my all time favorites...His phrasing is out of this world and he's got the elusive Albert Collins burn and tone taken to the next level. Just an amazing player. Tim is a monster too, he's so good it makes me smile.

    This whole concept reminds me of the John Mayer video where he goes to Berkely College Of Music and jams with Tomo Fujita and explains this exact idea. And when Tomo plays the entire audience goes nuts when he plays just a simple phrase but plays it with finesse and John says "now you have the entire neck left to go wherever you want".

    JOSH is also amazing... and "alive." He's just making sure the message continues to be heard and gets passed down to all that can benefit. I absolutely love and respect Josh Smith. He, too, is obviously a brilliant musician, but the passion he displays for everything his craft entails is nearly unsurpassed in my book (well, along with Tim Pierce, as well). Check out ANYTHING from him. He's all heart, and he can barely keep his Enormous talent and passion contained, or that huge, talented Heart of his will explode. We are so lucky to have him in our life's timeline.

  • @bryanmcgill3317
    @bryanmcgill3317 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I was blown away by the approach of blues phrasing and soloing. When Josh mentioned D'Angelo's Brown Sugar was recorded on that Studer, my jaw dropped. That is an epic album!!

    TIM...💥! This was the best...most helpful...and inspiring video I’ve ever seen about the business of the guitar, and the business in general! 👏🏻 I’ve always loved your no nonsense way...and style...you and Josh are both just monsters ! The segment about composing short ..repetitive, memorable riffs...then morphing slightly...before you burn rubber...then return to these themes...is something I’ve been pounding into my students for 30 years 🎸😆 ...some get it, some don’t...but it’s the best advice EVER ! Thanks for the great video ☝️👏🏻 Steve in North Dakota ❄️🌬

    Nice nice nice. Loved the feel and tone on all that stuff Josh was playing, he's got it. Also I dug the fast slap and reverb aspects of his tone, might have liked to hear more about how that doesn't get in the way.
    Now, that turn around you did Tim, over the five from about 9:43-49 was sweet. All those little 1/2 step slide downs tucked into that descending form, and then coming out with the double stops on the way back up, you are an inspiration I must say.

    That's a good idea. I always say, it ain't how many notes you play, its what notes you play. The solo in Cream's "Outside Woman Blues" is a perfect solo. There's not a zillion notes, but every note has to be there, Clapton speaks volumes with just the few he left.
