Unglaublich Thomas, danke für den motivierenden Vortrag und das "Herunterbrechen" der Soli auf die Grundelemente. HErrlich auch deinen Humor und deine Ehrlichkeit zu erleben. Danke!!!
Hey Thomas, ich spiele seit 13Jahren,praktisch täglich und habe inzwischen meine eigene Band. Null Komma Null Motivationsprobleme... dennoch hast du mich mit deinem Video voll abgeholt und ich groove über deinen 2 Chord Vamp und versuche mein ganzes Wissen, Solofragmente etc und Feeling da rein zu packen... voll geil. Echt inspirierend, danke ❤
Tolles Video. Als musikbegeisterter Nicht-Gitarrist bin ich zufällig hier gelandet und habe mir den Clip von Anfang bis Ende angesehen. Sehr interessant alles und sehr sympathisch vorgetragen. Wenn ich vor 40 Jahren so einen Lehrer gehabt hätte, würde es bei mit jetzt bestimmt auch mit Sultans of Swing klappen🙃😉
Du bist so ein krasser, guter Kerl.... natürlich auch ein Mega-Gitarrist. … und prähistiniert, um das ganze auch noch verständlich zu vermitteln. Ich beneide dich wirklich. Ansonsten merke ich, dass ich das gitarrespielen wohl unbewusst bei dir gelernt habe...) Habe spät angefangen und jetzt mit Mitte 40 tun sich plötzlich noch Welten auf. Sei es die Qualität der der Gitarre, und deren Möglichkeiten, nix macht mehr Spaß, als sich im eigenen Gitarrenspiel zu verlieren (eigene KInder natürlich ausgeschlossen;-)
Here's a rough summary of the contents in English. To all the German speakers: If there's anything important left out, please comment. Here's roughly what Thomas talks about in the video, I've left out the many funny remarks since I'm pretty sure they can't be translated into English. But you can be sure TB is a fun guy to listen to and his talks are a not only informative but also quite funny and laden with anecdotes and fun stories. Practicing joyfully 1st principle: Play in the pocket / stay in the groove - practice a simple two chord groove and embellish it with licks (demonstration at 01:25 following), which can be simple lines taken from the several pentatonic "boxes" or highly complex and fast melodic minor licks according to your own level of playing / ability 2nd principle (related to the first one): when playing solos, always stay in the groove - you can even play "wrong" notes / chromatics / weird stuff if you play something which fits into groove and melodic / harmonic environment to finish up the lick / line / musical statement - when practicing individual licks, always play them with a groove (demonstration of the "Uli Jon Roth" Lick at 08:36 following) and "find the groove in the exercise" - (answering the first question): it's helpful to know your "tonal material", i.e. scales you can play over certain chord changes etc. and also "building blocks" in the form of fingerings. start slowly and simple, then successively enhance and improve (demonstration at 12:20 following), which leads to 3rd principle: pentatonics + x - Learn pentatonic scales, then add chord tones (= tones of the accompanying chords in a song) and diatonic tones / scales - analogy to Italian cuisine: few elements, many variations. Learn a lick and use it as a building block / blueprint for more licks, i.e. change things, add notes, vary rhythm, fit it into the groove (demonstration: take the Uli Jon Roth lick and fit it into a blues jam at 22:00 following) - Diatonic scales presented in modes (i.e. Dorian, Lydian etc.) is almost every music we are used to, it has the same standard vocabulary and presents it in an interesting way (examples: the Police, Joe Satriani) Q&A section: - question about jazz (inaudible): Jazz is the exception / different from what he said before, and (disclaimer: he says that he's not a jazz expert by any means) Jazz musicians use unusual chords / tones to create tension and resolve. But if you dig deep and really dive into Jazz music, you learn the "craftsmanship" of Jazz. It can be a world in itself and you can get lost, but most importantly: don't overdo things and doggedly dive into jazz theory. Better to start simple by adding a little "jazzy" chord or note every now and then. - question about looper or rhythm device: loopers weren't around when he was young and practiced, but he had a simple drum machine going to play a groove. He doesn't regret not having had a looper in retrospect, because he says that soloing to a groove without looper enables you to learn how to play groovy solos, which helps also in a band context: groovy soloists can engage a whole band and really lead the band instead of diving off into a solipsistic tonal "egoversum" - question about learning famous solos (Sultans of Swing, Smoke on the Water etc.): Learn the key elements and make them your own instead of obsessing about every detail. Approach the original, but include your own elements. His opinion about the "note-for-note" approach is clear: there is a huge danger of losing the joy in practising, so be careful! hope that helps, cheers!
@@sascietto thanks so much i find this very useful and and helpful! :-) The Groove concept makes sense as it 's sure to help to give more focus and musicality to practising lead lines that together with chord-tone usage really is going to make you sound melodic... have you seen papastache102 youtube lessons channel? i think he was/is a pupil of session great Tim Pierce....

Cool mal ein Gitarristenbeitrag in deutsch zu hören. Gibt ja so wenige hier im Lande, warum auch immer.
What a strange sound!
Superb guitar Talent Thomas is! i just wish i could speak German and auto-translate on youtube was better :-)
Here's a rough summary of the contents in English. To all the German speakers:
If there's anything important left out, please comment. Here's roughly what
Thomas talks about in the video, I've left out the many funny remarks since
I'm pretty sure they can't be translated into English. But you can be sure
TB is a fun guy to listen to and his talks are a not only informative but also
quite funny and laden with anecdotes and fun stories.
Practicing joyfully
1st principle: Play in the pocket / stay in the groove
- practice a simple two chord groove and embellish it with
licks (demonstration at 01:25 following), which can be simple lines
taken from the several pentatonic "boxes" or highly complex and fast
melodic minor licks according to your own level of playing / ability
2nd principle (related to the first one): when playing solos, always stay
in the groove
- you can even play "wrong" notes / chromatics / weird stuff if you play
something which fits into groove and melodic / harmonic environment
to finish up the lick / line / musical statement
- when practicing individual licks, always play them with a groove
(demonstration of the "Uli Jon Roth" Lick at 08:36 following) and
"find the groove in the exercise"
- (answering the first question): it's helpful to know your "tonal material",
i.e. scales you can play over certain chord changes etc. and also
"building blocks" in the form of fingerings.
start slowly and simple, then successively enhance and improve
(demonstration at 12:20 following), which leads to
3rd principle: pentatonics + x
- Learn pentatonic scales, then add chord tones
(= tones of the accompanying chords in a song) and diatonic tones / scales
- analogy to Italian cuisine: few elements, many variations. Learn a lick and
use it as a building block / blueprint for more licks, i.e. change things,
add notes, vary rhythm, fit it into the groove (demonstration: take the
Uli Jon Roth lick and fit it into a blues jam at 22:00 following)
- Diatonic scales presented in modes (i.e. Dorian, Lydian etc.) is almost every
music we are used to, it has the same standard vocabulary and presents it in
an interesting way (examples: the Police, Joe Satriani)
Q&A section:
- question about jazz (inaudible): Jazz is the exception / different from what he said

Wieso eine Fender kaufen, wenn man eine Vintage Icon V6 spielen kann??? So ein endgeiles Instrument!!! Ich liebe meine Blugocaster von Vintage 😉
Gilmour auf Pentatonik zu reduzieren zeigt den künstlerischen Horizont des Möchtegernmusikers.
weniger spielen! Mehr erklären
Er hat wirklich überhaupt keine Ahnung.
