      Absolutely, but the problem would be that every time he played a song I'd need to pick up my guitar and work on whatever he was playing. LOLOL

      Agree completely, Chuckle. If an almost-intermediate player can practice their way through this and have these light bulb moments, I can't think of a single other video on UA-cam that can get you from this level to the next. I've improved more in a week than I did in the past year. And all the other videos that seemed too advanced are becoming within reach.

    Love how he says “this probably doesn’t sound very good”. Sounded great! Exactly what I was looking for. Solos like this are a groove, taking us on a trip. No extra outlandish tricks and excess flair to distract. Just a straight up groove. Love it!

    • @coloaten6682
      @coloaten6682 4 місяці тому

      Couldn't agree more! Also there are different types of solo used at different times. What we just saw played by the excellent Mr Stich wouldn't sound so inspiring if used as a solo in a stadium rock gig (All the bells and whistles were missing for that) , but any kind of smaller, more intimate setting live or on a recording it would sound incredible!

    I have this personality flaw where whenever I stop getting better I lose my motivation instead of trying harder, and I pretty much quit playing for a few months until my missing playing overwhelms my lethargy brought about by my mediocrity. This video just broke me out of that lethargic state about two weeks into it. Thanks for being awesome as both a guitarist and a teacher.

    Sometimes I experience this rare, unique and wonderful phenomenon where I genuinely believe I can see directly into someone's soul. And their soul communicates with mine in such a way that I instantly gain a complete and total understanding for who and what that individual truely is and why they are here. And you sir, are as genuine and wholesome as any that I've encountered. It was an absolute pleasure to cross your path.

    I can't tell you how much it has extended my musical horizons. I've been practicing memorizing and emphasizing those cord tones and using the major the pentatonic on the tonic chord as you suggested. Then I discovered what you probably already know: the magic of playing major thirds with the chords.
    Thank you again.

    @TheQuietRiot 4 роки тому +1

    Such an incredible important video. After essentially learning the pentatonic scales as shapes alone, I felt ever solo I played sounded the same. I thought I needed to go down the path of modes as a way to make my playing more interesting, but this CAGED approach is helping me be so much more melodic. And the real kicker is that it's even fewer notes to pick from than the pentatonic scale but it still opens up to so much variety. Thanks so much for putting me on to this!
