    "Do You Feel Like We Do" is, to me, the greatest live recorded song I've ever heard. What people don't talk about is that the audience is one of the instruments being played on the live recording. What I mean is that the audience and the band are so incredibly in sync, they rise and fall at Frampton's commands, they are being led as a unit through the rises and falls throughout the song and then the incredible roar at the end that they left in for 45 seconds after the music stops. My hair still stands on end when I listen to it. When I have an ear worm stuck in my head (because I always have music playing in my head) I play this song because it usually erases the ear worm. And I think why Peter Frampton is so loved is he seems like just a normal guy (not a rock star), self effacing, friendly, kind...i'm sure he's treated warmly by anyone whether they know him or not.

    Listen to the album.... yes Frampton was killing it but the entire band was just ass-kicking tight. The bass and drums are freaking unreal and the keyboard player is in the same groove with Peter. There isn’t a dull moment on the entire double album. Its an epic masterpiece.

    My favorite guitarist and album of all time, and the reason i too became a guitarist. Ive learned most of the solos on this album, and the only artist i ever cared to really learn every solo from. His improv and his sound,.. are still mind blowing and of corse his songwriting is pure genius. I especially love the first 4 studio albums, so many hidden gems on these records. In my opinion, he is the greatest Rock Star/Musician of all time! Long Live Frampton!🎸

      When he says like C sharp (C#) that means it's a note that's between C and D. It's a little higher than C, but lower than D. At the same time, he could call it a D flat. D flat is a little lower than D, but higher than C.

      Craig Wall Comes Alive was a great great album. Nonstop every moment of every song was great. The only problem was that it came out just as disco was taking off. Had it come out a year or two earlier it would have been even more epic than it was. I love fusion and Peter uses it so subtly and powerfully in his solos.

    Thanks Rick for another awesome video. Frampton doesn’t get the credit he deserves as being a great guitarist. It’s unfortunate that he was labeled as being a shallow teen idol when he was an incredible songwriter and musician. He was exploited by his management and the media and experienced the fickleness of pop music promotion and tastes... but his great music has stood the test of time.

Ya, it's great to know about the modes etc, but if you don't know how to apply them when improvising over something you haven't played ever before- you're limited. Peter's ability to play through changes so beautifully is a big reason why he deserves all the praise he gets. None of his contemporaries sound like him- but I bet a lot of people do now.

Not just the modal vocabulary, but the arpeggios, and his phrasing, which is outstanding--kind of be bop-ish, and really swinging. (Plus great support from a cookin' rhythm section.) Nice to know, after all these years, that someone else out there appreciates this playing as much as I do.

    Frampton's soloing style always reminds me of Billy from The Family Circus comics. When Billy's mother yells at him to come home, instead of coming straight home, he goes through the entire neighborhood, visiting everything and stopping everywhere, before finally making it home. Where most guitarists would use 3 or 4 notes to get from A to B in their solo, Frampton uses a dozen or more, traveling up and down the entire fretboard. He's an incredible musician.

    Hello Rick.
    I started playing the guitar at the same year as you did. I was amazed by Frampton's soloing art in this 'Tour de Force" live record.
    Compared to other major guitar players of that time like Blackmore or Page, I was often disappointed by their live solos cause they "crapped" them out (too long pentatonic scale improvisations which made their soloing repetitive and quite boring).
    Then, came Peter Frampton whose live guitar playing was better than the studio versions of the songs. It was quite new.
    He was a kind of a "trail-blazer" to new virtuoso guitarists of the 80/90's like Satriani or Vaï who are capable to play solos live as accurate (and even enriched) as their studio versions.
    Your analysis of Frampton solos are impressive but I wonder if Peter Frampton when he created his solos was as theoritical as you do. I think he knew a lot about modes and scales cause it's very useful to understand what you're dealing with but not enough to create a solo. The creative process remains something mysterious and even magical. Eddy Van Halen is a tremendous guitar technician and he always said that he can't read music.
    For example, you can master the structure of a language (grammar, vocabulary, syntax, etc) but that doesn't make you a good writer for sure.
    Otherwise, thank you for the fantastic musical "popularization " job you're doing . Keep on going.
    Ziane

      He played a balloon festival near me. I was walking around and I get near the stage, and it's Peter Frampton and he was killing it. I lucked out to see him there putting on a great performance in really the middle of nowhere.

I have the Beato Book ... and I am taking piano lessons and playing guitar about 2-3 hours a day ... gradually you are becoming more intelligible ... 😆 .... I love the song series and I am looking forward to the solo series ... read Streampunks by Robert Kyncl ... you are probably on the verge of going from 200k subscribers to well over a 1000k ... more power to you ... you are one of the best things about UA-cam .... btw ... I live in Peterborough ... birthplace of Greg Wells ... and the home of a great, great music scene ... keep it coming ....

    Since I bought the album in 76 [I was 16]I've been enchanted by it. I knew intuitively that frampton's solos sounded radically different from many other rock lead guitar players of his era . Now I know why. He's playing Modes instead of Pentatonics!!!

    • @jaybone23
      @jaybone23 6 років тому +1

      Yes! Love NRBQ. They deserve more respect, for sure. I'm not a huge country fan, so don't know a lot of Anderson's playing post-NRBQ, but he's a superb musician. And Zappa? Well, it goes without saying.

    • @jeffreybarrett8043
      @jeffreybarrett8043 6 років тому +2

      Not so sure about that, Rick is pretty damn capable. He could walk us through one of Vai's transcriptions, and even of he couldn't play certain bits up to speed accurately, he could still slow them down and discuss how to approach playing it. I bet he could handle the Inca Roads solo.

    • @jeffreybarrett8043
      @jeffreybarrett8043 6 років тому

    • @elimakowski1469
      @elimakowski1469 6 років тому +1

      I rather doubt it. Challenging maybe, but Rick's ear is very developed. The hardest thing about Zappa solos is copping the unique technique that it takes to pull some of them off.

    • @Pladderkasse
      @Pladderkasse 6 років тому

      I agree. Zappa's difficult because his style was very idiosyncratic or "Eccentric".

  • @mattyoxide3650

    Nice to see someone finally giving some love to Peter Frampton. I stated playing the same time as you, and it always struck me over the years how mesmerizing his solo phrasing was on that Comes Alive live album. The lines on my face solos are my absolute favorites by him. Gives me the chills every time I hear it.
    Frampton for his melodic phrasing and Beck for his vicious attack get my vote as preeminent guitarists.

Like you, Peter and the live album were so influential in my playing (I began in 1976 when I was 13) - the record did not leave my turntable for two years straight as I figured out all of the solos by ear! You are spot on - he so very effectively navigates between different modes which creates such a jazz feel. He is one of the greatest and most underrated guitarists from our generation. Your playing is superb and your teaching equally so!

    Even if you don't like Geddy's voice, even if you don't like the lyrics he sings, please isolate Lifeson's solos and tell me they aren't some of the best in classic rock. Pffff..

    Jeez, what a great tribute to Peter Frampton. . I saw him at Winterland as a supporting act for bands like Montrose and The Doobs after being a fan after Rockin' The Fillmore then was lucky enough to be there later when he tracked Come's Alive (balcony seats behind the 'screen', talk box parts clearly remembered).
    Thing is, i didn't try to cop his style until later. Was happy when the owner of a record store a visited years ago mentioned the 'jazziness' of PF's playing. To me, he wanted to avoid sounding like EC. It worked.

    Like you, Rick, I was also 13 in 1975 when FCA came out. As a drummer John Siomos’s playing on this record was a huge influence on me. I still use some of his tricks to this day, like the off beat hi hat he uses thru most of Lines On My Face. His parts were so well thought out and tasty. I saw Peter on his Farewell tour and he did a very nice tribute to John before he played Lines. Brought tears to this old guy’s eyes. Great episode. Thanks for making people realize what an amazing musician Peter has always been.

    A couple of notes: When "Frampton Comes Alive" was released it was rumored to have been heavily "tweaked" in the studio. Having seen Frampton on two different occasions, once standing at stage front directly in front of Frampton, I can say without question Frampton can and did play these solos almost note for note. Not long after seeing him the second time his prized 1954 Gibson "Black Beauty" was lost to a plane crash. That was the guitar on the cover of the "Frampton" album. Thankfully he has had his guitar returned to him which is cool because he is/was a really nice guy.

    • @gfriedman99
