      This Jack guy used to play at a professional level- and I mean in front of 10s of thousands of ppl- the big leagues. He played for artist who don't have a steady band and just put together a band for each tour- and he played with some really big names. But he didn't like the fact that the music and creativity took a back seat to having the right look, he didn't like the way there were no rehearsals or even sound checks in some places because they had them booked so solid there simply was no time. He didn't like the fact that this produced robotic performances where ppl weren't playing up to their potential- or even trying to. And the atmosphere was such that if you even acted like you might protest- they just replaced you and moved on. So, he basically chose to work for Andertons and do little gigs like this with friends because he loved the music so much he didn't want to be part of some plastic, overly commercialized, version of it. He would rather be home with his family, work for Andertons, and be able to really explore music the way he wants. In other words- he's a feakin' hero to ppl like me- I have massive respect for this man as a person and musician.

    Mr D - outstanding. I was at that gig and you were on fire. Your humility being open for chats & photo’s after was greatly appreciated. But please know, you have a real gift for teaching and whilst I love the review stuff, so many of us get so much from these honest insights and tricks and tips videos. Andertons continue to get my custom over the years… but ever considered starting your own online presence? Tutorials, members content etc. give it serious thought!

    This kind of breakdown is like soothing balm to adult learners like me whose minds are blown by awesome-sounding kung-fu keys solos at gigs. When you break it down like this to slow tai chi speed, it makes it seem entirely possible that I could learn to do this before I die. So... thank you! xx

    I really dig the instructional Jack. (Could that be a band name? "Instructional Jack?) I dig almost all the other stuff on the channel, too, but the instructional stuff kind of stands out to me. Maybe because I know so little of synths and keyboards and all that jazz, being a beady-eyed, beetling-browed guitarist like I am.

    I really enjoyed the Hammond organ tutorial you did using the Nord electro 6d 73 I think it was and of course this video is great as always. Think it would be amazing to see you doing a tutorial on a real Hammond B3 with real Leslie rudely exposing itself to show everyone the actual real beasts that all today's clones are trying to imitate and what a real Leslie actually is. Yeah there's heaps of vids of people doing that but they're not you.
    Maybe you've already done something like that. I don't know. I'm just putting my 20 aussie cents worth in.
    Thankyou for you videos.

    Long time bass, guitar and drummer here, but a casual keys player. I finally joined a band playing 70% guitar and 30% keys and I’m suddenly finding myself chasing the rabbit hole of gear, sounds and style. I’ve been watching your gear review videos for a few weeks and loving them, but this video is fantastic. I can rip a guitar solo but never quite understood how to translate it to a keyboard - you really helped tie a lot to the guitar and you just took away the intimidation of trying my hand at a keys solo. Time to head to the local blues jam and take a chance on keys…. Thanks!

    Wicked!!! I remember that one jam session we played a song Melissa Etheridge, “like the way I do”
    And just as I was going to start the solo indo a big obnoxious bend and my B string breaks. And I’m nothing without a G and B string. So I went into this funky rhythm following the first of each chord of the progression. Just playing some thirds or sixes in this funny rhythm, and I was hoping the other guitarist would think: “well may I should take a solo” but he just kept playing rhythm. And I am stressing because I couldn’t play what I had in mind. And I noticed that the audience was jumping on the dance floor 🪩 having fun. So I took the broken B string in between my teeth and jumped with them. And like Jack said the beginning was great the middle was in key and nice and rhythmic not flourishy but okay. And I ended with a nice dive bomb on the A5 again and it was fine.
    And I even got compliments from people saying: “you played with a broken string!!! Wow!”
    And I smiled and I thought: “If playing a bit of counter rhythmic on the first and third or 5th is playing, then why did I put so much effort in learning complex licks?” 😂
    And it did make me realize that the audience are layman’s and not music snobs. They love anything as long as it’s for them in key.
    And it was sort of liberating - took 7 years or so to realize that 😂

    Such a great video Jack, thanks so much for showing us these ideas. I've learnt loads from it - the C# dimished scale idea is very cool and those go-to licks are great because they are short and easy to remember in the moment. The point about using your thumb and first two fingers only when playing fast has suddenly made licks I couldn't get before now make much more sense. Please keep up these fantastic tutorials! It's a cool idea to teach it like this based on a real solo, and gets you thinking about mixing single notes with chords and glisses etc that you wouldn't necessarily think about if it was just teaching a series of licks. Cheers!

  • @user-uw8ph8iv4h
    @user-uw8ph8iv4h 9 місяців тому

    Could not disagree more about transposing. Never do that! You can play majority of licks in any key you want. Of course there are some exceptions, but I'd rather learn more licks than just transpose two or three of them to different keys. That way every other key you play in, can have different style since you combine different licks.

  • @silverchet

    Hehe, shredding in C…..god😂😂😂 stopped watching there…..after seeing the comments below I watched to the end. Actually some really nice advice on pentatonics and how to make sense soloing. The only bad advice was use transpose…just learn the stuff you want in all keys or at least bare minimum the keys common to your musicstyle. One day you find yourself in front of a keyboard where you dont know how to transpose……busted!

      Seems unfair to me. This isn’t Rachmaninoff it’s improv and it’s live. He’s being honest. It doesn’t make it a shit solo coz it’s in C. Jon Lord wouldn’t have done this if he could have done? C’Mon the Pink Floyd guitar solo to “money” is in 4/4 coz Gilmour didn’t wanna solo in an irregular time sig! This is what real musicians do in real life gigs.
