I learned chords and position 1 of the minor pentatonic as a teenager. Never had lessons and ended up giving up. Picked guitars up over the years, but soon gave up dejected.
At age 50 (Xmas 2017) events conspired to force me in to doing it properly. Got lessons - applied myself. This channel is basically a record of my progress - highs and lows all included! 😀👍
I see so much that's wrong with my playing, alongside the things going really well... and forcing myself to share is good for me, as I get some really nice comments, but more importantly I get tips to improve ... crucial, as I don't want to - can't- stand still!

Minor blues jam.
I posted something similar a few weeks ago, but this is the one I was meant to post! 🤦♂️🤷♂️🤣
I was doing some singing down at Sons Of Guns Studio, but I took my guitar to have a little play too.

Learning guitar properly since December 2017 - progress made most days. However, a picking hand wrist issue has curtailed progress somewhat and I’m playing carefully for the time being.

Guitars: Telecaster, Stratocaster, Les Paul and ES-335
Amps: Boss Katana 100 Mk1 / Blackstar HT-5R MkII
(my Boss Katana presets are shared here, but I do usually use external pedals also groups/boss.katana/permalink/1523128381392547/)
Video on how I achieve my tone here: ua-cam.com/video/camaqwRSaLc/v-deo.html
Digitech Trio+ Band Creator is my looper of choice (I have it in my amp effects loop).
Overdrives I use are the Boss Blues Driver (externally and in the Boss Katana), the EHX Soul Food, and EHX OD Glove. EHX/JHS Lizard Queen for fuzz. I usually say which, if any, that I’m using. I also like the Xotic EP Booster and Super Sweet boost pedals.
Usually direct recorded from amp using phones/rec out into channel 1 of Focusrite interface and Abelton Live Lite DAW.
When using the Trio+ I send the bass/drums to channel 2 of the interface, as it sounds better when they are split like this.
Sometimes I record ‘out loud’ jams with my phone… and I hope to experiment with microphone recording at some point.

How's been the guitar after 1 year, ive heard some of this newer ES-335 are coming with unleveled frets and bad fretwork, im still trying to get a new one though, i got one from a guy who said he didn't played it too much
I've been very happy with the guitar, apart from the tuners and pickup selector switch. 👍😊
Great Demo Rodd
Thanks very much indeed 🙏🙏🙏👍😊
Great sound and playing
Thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏👍😊
Song name?
It's just an improvisation 👍
I BOUGHT ONE MINE IS LEFT HANDED GREAT SOUND STRONG PICKUPS 😅
damn good playing man
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏👍😊
Beautiful! Stock pickups?
Very many thanks 🙏🙏🙏👍😊 yes, stock pickups 👍😊
How would you compare Tele HH with Les Paul? Is Tele HH a good alternative?
They are completely different beasts really, but neck pickup wise, you can get some of the qualities of a LP
@@roddiculousguitar My question is more - is it worth having them both, is the sound different enough to justify having them both? Thanks for your answer, btw.
@@Lordofmrak I think it's a very subjective question... What I might think, may not be the same for you. But... my LP is the best guitar I've ever played, for sound and feel. The HH Tele is nowhere near it... But for me having both made sense (I am no longer playing, due to a long term injury). That said, there are some overlapping similarities in sound (definitely not feeling though). If I was only having 2 guitars I'd keep my LP and traded the Tele HH for a Strat.
@@roddiculousguitar I understand it is very subjective, but that was one of my dilemmas: reducing the collection to just 2 guitars, one single coil and one humbucker, or p-90 and humbucker. And LPs are so expensive now... Thanks for sharing your opinion.
@Lordofmrak it's always a hard decision when you thin things out. What I would say about the Tele HH is that I hate the single coil split on the bridge pickup, it has no real character (to my ears). The neck single coil split is awesome and all positions in humbucker mode are great. If looking for an LP esque option though, you could do a lot worse than looking at the Yamaha Revstars.
Hey mate great playing and tone! 🎸💪
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏👍😊
I also discovered this progression since 2 months, but changing the D for D/F#, it's beautiful, and is perfect for a song. If you're still here to read this. I encourage you to take advantage of this progression and make a song of your own too. Thanks for this improvisation. keep playing the guitar, and making people feel emotions with the art of music. The musicians like us are for that.
The world need more guitarist enfocated to practice but giving a space to put a part of our soul on their notes, riffs, licks, chords and solos.
Because creativity is an axis to the music also
Thanks very much indeed 🙏🙏🙏👍😄 Unfortunately I have had to stop playing, due to an injury... But what you say is right, for sure 👍👍👍👍😄
@@roddiculousguitar Oh, I'm sorry for your injury, what a shame it really is. But at least you left a record of something you loved doing so much.
Excellent, well played with an awesome bluesy tone.
Thanks Alan! 🙏🙏🙏👍😃
NICE!!!
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏👍😃
I'm thinking about trying one of these. You're making it tempting. Nice playing as well.
Thanks very much indeed 🙏🙏🙏👍😃
I just can´t decide to buy this beautiful Es 335 or the Les Paul Classic Heritage cherry sunburst... both are great, I just love the mellow tones of Es 335
Very nice tone! I have been considering getting a Player Tele HH for a while.
It's a pretty decent guitar 👍👍👍👍🙂
@@roddiculousguitar OK, good, thanks for your reply. I forgot to say how soulful your playing is! I was too busy thinking about equipment!
@@redsky1433 ha, no problem, thanks very much! 🙏🙏🙏👍😀
A wonderful looking guitar and musicianship! How suitable would that guitar be for a learner especially with a low playing string height action to complement playability? What was its set-up like straight out of the box?
Thanks very much 🙏🙏🙏👍🙂 the Fender Player series are awesome, but setup out of the box can be very variable. Once sorted they are brilliant though 👍🙂
do you use these settings playing live on stage?
I can't play much, due to an injury, so don't play live on stage. I do use the same settings playing at loud in a room/ studio though.
Nice jam dude!
Thanks very much indeed 🙏🙏🙏👍🙂
Soooo good!!!! 👍 How do u compare the Marshall with the Katana?
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏👍🙂 Always happier with my Katana 👍👍👍🙂
exact I also love using the trio+ and you you have a good technique for making good quality sound. Few people know how to do it. some people plug it into an electric guitar amp it's catastrophic the trio is underrated.
Agreed! Best pedal ever! 🔥🔥🔥👌😎👍🙂
And thanks 🙏👍🙂
Hello my friend what is this style on the trio+ I don’t recognize it
Should be there in the video comments 👍🙂 if not, I won't remember I'm afraid! But it should be.
I just bought one this morning. I've never bought a low priced guitar in all my 60 years playing. The HB double cut is my first effort in this price range. All of the videos I've watched sound really good to me. So what the heck, I gave it a run : ) Los Angeles
Hope you like it 👍🙂
Nice video! What shims did you use to rise the p90? I ordered the Roswell shim but it’s rounded at the bottom😳 thanks in advance
This is a while back now and I can't remember... but I think I might have got them from Mr Glyns Pickups. But I really am not sure, sorry!
Thanks for the quick response! Will check them out and will rise that bugger😎
Great sound...Really nice music...
Thanks so much! 🙏🙏🙏👍🙂
very good!! every note with intention. great!

Quality performance and sharp axe
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏👍🙂 it's the best feeling and sounding guitar I've ever played. 👊👌😎
I really like your style. it's very melodic. And this is also a good demo of what you can do with a looper.
Thanks very much indeed! 🙏🙏🙏👍🙂
4:01 nice you've thrown some Jazz in...cool 😅. No man, just great how you incorporate also some bits of the vocal lines in it
@@dannyriffsitup😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🙂
Sounds great man! Thanks for posting!
Thanks so much dude! 🙏🙏🙏👍🙂
That's good stuff man. I really appreciate the effort and the artisanship.
Thanks very much indeed 🙏🙏🙏👍🙂
Is there anything special about the pickup configuration in your guitar?
No, its a stock guitar 👍👍👍
It sounds like you listen to a lot of '50s '60s electric blues. You've really got the phrasing down for the vintage old school stuff man I love it. Really good job!
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏👍🙂 I don't, but I was messing around with some Albert Collins ideas I'd just been looking at 👍🙂
Oh yeah!
Thank you!!!! 🙏🙏🙏👍🙂
Sounds great
