  • Hello Music lovers! Welcome to episode 2 of the Woodshed! When i asked what you wanted me to cover in this episode you spoke and i listened! You guys asked for a guitar lesson on emulating the sound of guys like Eric Johnson and Joe Bonamassa. This is NOT a "heres the EJ or JB lick" rather, this is a lesson on the concepts i use to emulate their phrasing, and "sound" When Im playing this stuff, im not just reusing specific licks, but instead im trying to use these 3 steps to sound more like them

    I don’t know why I’ve never stumbled upon your channel until now. But I have and still am binge watching all your videos. The more I watch the more pissed off I get at myself for not diving in deep years ago. I have always been a very good guitar player but I can’t even hold a flame next to you dude. I am mostly self taught and never had support to progress when I was young but I grew up with a bunch of musicians older than me that took me and a few others my age under their wings and showed us the way. So I have progressed slowly through three marriages, three daughters and eight years in the Air Force and everything else life has thrown in my path...anyway enough of my useless ranting.
    Thank you, great lessons, very overwhelming but awesome and humbling...
    🎸🤓🎸🇺🇸☮️🙏

    And I used to teach similarly..."don't try to cop the exact licks, instead cop the VIBE, and the licks will fall into place.."

    This is such an awesome lesson, thank you. I have been practicing the fives in the pentatonic boxes as per the Troy Grady primer, but this puts it together for me for improv big time. I would love to see the next level of the EJ/JB style when improvising over changes for blues. Would you consider a video for that maybe???

    Thanks for this excellent video. This is so much more digestible than Troy G's over produced videos - humble, down to earth, pragmatic and useful as hell. Troy's stuff tries to make it all sound like some kind of magic, that being said while over complicated and borderline irritating they are still useful(ish) resources. This was better though IMO.

    That just goes to show you how naturally gifted you are Andy, if you sounded like Gilbert, Johnson, and Morse at 17, and didn't even know anything about them, that to me is incredible. You've slowly worked your way into my top ten favorite guitarist, and are making you way to the top. I hope you continue to make music, as I will buy all of it. I would like to see you do live streams in the future if possible. Great video.

  • @Jallatt
    @Jallatt 4 роки тому

    This is a really great lesson, dude. Thanks very much for posting. Really great way of breaking this stuff down. It's such a signature sound and it's so crazy to see how "easily" it breaks down. So much of these lessons focus on the groupings but this lesson captures the sonic texture of these runs in a much more sensible way. If that makes any sense...

    well done andy! I think I spent countless frustrating nights looking for a decent video/lesson on EJ/JB peculiar licks - talking about those licks where you only have minor pentatonic but, only God knows, THEY play in a way, YOU don't ... finally I got here and, look, when a REAL guitar player like andy is, and not a youtuber does a video on this, can you guess? it is the first time somebody is able to go through some examles that really sound like they are supposed to! somtimes it's better to go the old way, when we used to have our REH videos, where REAL guitar players was teaching tips and not guys with plenty of time and a good camera ... but little more than that! thanks Andy for sharing with us!

  • @GuyNarnarian
    @GuyNarnarian 3 роки тому

    Dude you are an amazing player. Glad I found your channel. This is how to make pentatonic lines really sound good, mastery. I have trouble with my right hand (been watching some Troy Grady but the counting of the notes throws me off). I'm so used to hammering on and pulling off that its hard for me to alternate pick every note quickly like you do. Can you achieve the same precision and speed using hammer ons and pulls offs without getting lost on your picking hand? I feel like even if you don't pick every note you still need to follow that alternate pattern.

    Breaking down chicken pickin' lead licks with double stops and single note country stuff. And the rhythmic syncopated stuff you can do with that technique. I have had such a hard time getting that stuff to feel natural. So maybe a way to practice/approach that? Love the playing, Andy. Thanks!

    Great stuff, Andy! Finally, you push your channel! I've always enjoyed your videos. :)
    Since I've struggled with (downward motion) vibrato for a very long time, I'm always curious, how pros like you approach or even practise it. It's finally working relatively fine. But some advice is never wrong. :)
    As a side note: sooner or later, you should use an extra mic to record your voice. I can hardly understand your words, but when you play, I have to decrease volume quickly, so that my boss doesn't hear it. ;-P Keep it up, man! Cheers from Germany! :)
