    Best quote of the lesson: “don’t fear, I’ve heard there are other blues in E backing tracks available”. Love your sense of humor Adrian, so good! In all seriousness, this is a great lesson and one I will work on this weekend. Please note I have already made the sensible decision to sign up for your Patreon page. 😉 have a great weekend! 🤠

  • @ourclarioncall
    @ourclarioncall 4 роки тому

    It’s a fantastic concept . Perhaps it’s where everyone should actually begin especially for learning theory and for the other reasons given in the video.
    As a teacher I have thought about having a season where a student has one string. Later they can have 2. Then 3. Etc.
    One string means only one note which means having to play with other guitarists/musicians to be able to access any harmony. Get three guys together on their one string guitars now you can have single note melody’s, intervals like 3rds, 6ths, etc, and triads/chords. Guitar players have a tendency to be shepherded into an independent mentality where’s all about us and our guitar solo and little to do with team work and co-operating with band members to contribute to the bigger picture not dominate the music or use it for our own ends such as self glory

  • @freezetheatlantic
    @freezetheatlantic 4 роки тому

    *Puts hand up* erm... all my solos are on one string! :D I play in a surf group, so when I play any lead parts it’s all tremolo picking and slides. Figured if it’s good enough for Dick Dale, it’s good enough for me. I’ve always been a rhythm player and always left the fancy soloing to someone more virtuoso in my bands and steered clear for 20 years. In this band, I’m the only guitar player, so it has really pushed me to be more versatile melodically.

  • @SpoonyG925
    @SpoonyG925 4 роки тому

    Thanks Adrian! I love it! I always take advantage of the open string but kind of wonder if I'm supposed to do that. And now I know! Meanwhile, I just wish that I could be a live, in person, student, on a weekly basis. Have a great Day! :)

  • @theyearoftherat

    One string solos are the best. It's more convenient, more homogeneous, more fluid. I hate to solo on 2 strings (or more) because of parasite noises (difficult to have perfect control) and because the strings have not the same thickness, it's messy.
