My guitar mentor was an old LA studio player. He seemed to know every song ever played. He told me once that while I was good with chords, my solos were weak because I went "shopping for notes" all over the fretboard when all I had to know was that all the notes I needed were right there under my fingers in any chord shape
Chords are where it's at. People spend too much time worrying about scales modes and so on. Learn the major scale and where it sits in the chord. Everything else is just derivative. Boogie on
Great playing. I've been playing since 95 and i followed this fine. This is clearly advanced stuff Andy plays and explains well. If it was five times longer no one would bother watching it. I never imagined so many players could get this far into their playing without realsiing guitar could be hard. Well played Andy
Tap the top right gear icon and use the playback speed button to slow down his licks . He is very advanced as in thousands of practice hours ahead of us . Thanks Mr woods.
Brilliant lesson Andy! Although I’ve been playing for 50 or so years, this lesson makes me either want to throw my guitar in the trash or inspire me to try to grasp some of these ideas. I choose the latter, and a playback speed of .50 or .25 and painfully repeat, lol ! I’ll get there
7:04 If you're trying to make sense of this dissonance, he's thinking A13. He says "tritone" (open G string vs C# above [B string, 2nd fret]), but what he demonstrates picking is the open G string against the F# below [D string, 4th fret].
Great lesson I've been playing metal and blues leads for 40 year but when I played with country players my licks always sounded too bluesy And always had a feel they were doing the jazz approach by changing the scales with the chords. This will definitely help visualize country style licks much better. Thanks for the amazing lesson🎸
Most difficult thing to accomplish when soloing over uptempo country stuff... being melodic and playing tasteful. Just thought I'd throw that out there..
I have this course. And, while I can't ( yet ) play some of these things at full speed like Andy, his ideas are amazing to blend with other melodies/licks. It doesn't feature song breakdowns ( like the courses from, say Jon Herrington or Greg Koch, do ). But the ideas here are wonderful connector points between chords and intros/outros. A great musician! And a wonderful video course.
For those amazed, remember it's all copying another. Learn some stuff, learn how to play and get along with others, avoid some, and remember it's about the people in the club, not at a concert. Learning how to play guitar is great, but learning how to play , when it's time, is the struggle of most.
Almost every guitar player who watches this will be quite impressed with Andy's playing, but completely unable to absorb any of this because it all goes by at the speed of light. This type of teaching only serves to show off the teachers ability, but few will be capable of absorbing any of it. I have been playing since 1969 and if I can absorb little of this, imagine a new player trying to do it. Truefire, when will you learn how to teach?
I think he’s trying to teach concepts. Then showing where you can go with them. Although few of us can go where Andy goes. The other thing is he is showing us Andy Wood. He plays, you respect him. You probably can get country guitar lessons from a local teacher. However, we all want to know how Andy views the subject because he is such a great player.
I felt the exact same watching this. I'm a pro of many years and I had to break down each lick and teach it to myself...it took at least an hour. A beginner or intermediate player would be completely lost.
@@Meltedcheese567 I am not surprised to hear that at all and this was what frustrated me. It's completely out of touch to think that any player ( even experienced pros like yourself) would be able to absorb any of that. I once had a guitar teacher that could play anything from Guthrie Govan to Segovia. A literal guitar genius. When we studied we went through new ideas and concepts one note at a time. Yes, thats time consuming, but at least you eventually knew precisely how to play those new things. That's a real guitar teacher.
Dunno whether it’s ego, lack of self-awareness, or lack of basic ideas of how to teach, but the great majority of guitar UA-camr “teachers” either A) Begin their lessons with a crazy bit of playing/wanking that’s far out of the targeted audience’s reach, or B) Demonstrate a passage or lick, and then demonstrate it at so fast a speed you can’t see how it works or even just get the fingering.
great player but has no clue how to teach people. for those of you who think this just because they are trying to sell you the course and that there is a lot more clarity and depth in the course itself - there isn’t. i am truefire subscriber and I watched the course, and the whole course is like this.

Andy is so versatile, I love his style. He is definitely one of my guitar hero’s.
Andy is on another level. Good stuff man
Man, Andy is right up at the peak of Music Mountain. He is living at the top of his youth and creativity as a guitar phenom. Wail on, good brother!!!
Every note exactly the right note... brilliant.
Brilliant lesson Andy! Although I’ve been playing for 50 or so years, this lesson makes me either want to throw my guitar in the trash or inspire me to try to grasp some of these ideas. I choose the latter, and a playback speed of .50 or .25 and painfully repeat, lol ! I’ll get there
This is a Whole Lotta WANTING to pick up a guitar. Years well spent. Inspiring!
Andy is so awesome.
Wow !! Fabulous , teach me like that

Andy = MONSTER.

That little 5 note motif at the end is gold. It’s like bebop’s second cousin
His playin has a fluidity of Pat Metheny to me… just gorgeous
Great lesson and amazing playing.
Wow Andy is such a great guitar player. Sounds so good!
Most difficult thing to accomplish when soloing over uptempo country stuff... being melodic and playing tasteful. Just thought I'd throw that out there..
Man that’s soooo sick
Great playing of course Andy! Nice to know the possibilitys and how they can be used!...love it!😊
U truly are a great teacher! Thanks much sincerely :)
Definitely talented but Not a repeat Not a teacher. Not even a mediocre teacher.
Holy moly you are Fantastic
I got to hang out with Albert Lee and Cindy Cashdollar last weekend
A dream fulfilled
Love this guys playing

Fantastic picking and a lot of useful, learn able tips and licks. Thanks!!!!
Excellent lesson. Like the way Andy kept it based on a 1 4 5 as it keeps it easier to work on when you are learning. Cheers👍
Wow, what a great guitarist you are!
The Suhr T sounds mighty fine
solid gold - just launched me into like 10 new ideas.
Very helpful, Big Thanks!
amazing bro!
Great playing man.
Thanks for sharing your talent
Анжи твой урок лучшее что есть на эту тему в Ютубе для подготовленного гитариста ценнейшая информация спасибо тебе
Great!
This is the way
One needs so much technique in addition to the knowledge, which Andy has In spades.
Killer finger
Help me out heaps. Thank u

Sounds just right...
Truefire and jamplay combined or what ?
If the world was invaded and needed a guitar player to rep the world. It would be malmsteen.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤠
Great player! I guess he listened a lot to Brent Mason and Albert Lee😅
Whole lot of playing fast. Not enough clear explanation.

get a Vidami. slowdown/looping pedal for UA-cam. Best money I ever spent.
Here’s a tip learn from someone you do understand instead of being negative about someone you don’t. Just trying to help

Country musicians are more like jazz musicians, where they solo over the chord.
