  • @461weavile
    @461weavile 4 роки тому +2

    Your lessons are so smooth, it barely feels like an entire ten minutes has already passed. I just want it to keep going forever.
    Also, your sound quality of your playing is so refined, I want to hear more full-length songs, and maybe even throw this solo or other lesson compositions in there. That triplet sliding part was absolutely worth the additional effort; most satisfying part of the solo.

      What? I might have misunderstood, but Mozart is known for being a pretty simplistic composer and relying on simple melodies and ABA structures. THat's why he's so famous, because it's really catchy and... I guess one could say accessible.

    It's so great that you tab your lesson - it enables you to move along at a good pace and cover a lot more information - unlike most others on UA-cam who want to narrate each note (slide the A string forth fret, up to... - drives me crazy. So, thank you. Great lesson.)

  • @darrensmusicstudio
    @darrensmusicstudio 4 роки тому +3

    Great lesson, well thought out. You're spot on when you mentioned rhythmic variation as that's definetely one of the key ways to make a shred solo interesting. One of my favorite guitarists is Vinnie Moore, I love his style of composing and there's no shortage of differing rhythms in his compositions. Makes things exciting because you really don't know what's coming up next in the tune so ya hang to listen to the whole thing. Again well done!

  • @musicmuncher6689
    @musicmuncher6689 4 роки тому +3

    Great video as always. I want to point out something to all, especially beginners, notice the position of the left hand, it's perfect. That's the right way to place your hand if you want to play fast licks, straight with the thumb behind the neck. I mention it because I learned the wrong way 30 years ago, my thumb tend to go on top of the neck and I lose some range, my fingers are not straight with the frets. I try to correct this but it's a lot harder when you're used to it, so if you're just starting, pay attention to that, it will be beneficial on the long run.
