    The answer to 9:37 is the first solo was composed. 52 Week Guitar Player is closed until mid-March. We'll only be accepting 100 new students when we reopen. Join the waiting list now dammit: brandondeon.com/survey-page2

    Man, I’ve been playing guitar for decades and never heard of you. What a breath of fresh air! Love the insults as they are correct.
    I’m guilty of playing the boxes and then my tricks, and repeating them. The sustained bend is just a way to dramatize what I’m about to do again. (This time, much faster and more impressive.) Yawn.
    I suppose some of us naturally know how to build tension and expectation, and know how to let the listener know it’s not at the breaking point yet. And I expect I’m not fooling anyone. But most times I do. It’s a bar, everyone is drunk and yes, cigarettes everywhere. So they’re easily impressed.
    I learned from you in just a few minutes what I hadn’t learned at all since the 70’s. Now it’s time to apply it before I keel over for whatever mysterious reason. For younger folks than I, you’re an honest Godsend my friend. You’re a phenomenal teacher. Keep up the great work.

    Over a Blues with 3 Dominant 7 chords, 1-3-5-b7 are the “safe” chord tones; then 2-b3-4-b5-6 are notes from Mixolydian and the Blues scale which all together comprise the 9 most “inside” notes. The last 3 of the 12, b2-b6-7, can be used in chromatic lines that resolve.
