      Hey Rich, glad you're back and I'm very sorry for your loss. It hurts a lot, I know that right now myself, my mom has passed away just a few weeks ago. I'm sure your mom was very proud and she has had every reason to. I know you only from your lessons but it's quite clear what kind of a (hu)man you are. More of your kind would benefit all of us. Music helps coping with loss and hurt and our lives will go on, always remembering our lost ones, they are with us and in us. All the best and keep on, love what you're doing.

  • @justinbedell7902
    @justinbedell7902 Рік тому

    Thanks for this! I’ve never thought of soloing from the perspective of building cells of notes like this to create motifs and phrases. This makes perfect sense to my very linear and sequential way of thinking. I’ve always viewed soloing as a much more abstract improv, which leaves me scrambling on my fretboard on stage….versus building a solo using this cells of notes method. Your approach clicked for me and gives me something meaningful to practice and experiment with. God Bless!

    @alexl.9917 Рік тому +2

    That's a very cool and helpful approach for building solo phrases, thank you. Never been the soloing guy, but now after more than 40 years of playing I have one song where a bass solo was needed and I've found it in an almost identical way. It's over a chord progression and I also divided it into cells (though I had no idea they were cells ;-) and the use of some 'binding' notes between the chords helped in keeping it simple and another benefit was, that the starting note of the new chords never were the roots, but thirds or sevens. Good to see I wasn't soooo wrong with my approach though watching your video a few months ago would definitely saved time 🙂
    All the best and lots of good wishes

    I love this approach! I struggle with solos, that very anxiety you mention at the beginning, when I know it’s coming. I often just pre-plan my solos, which isn’t very satisfying and a little unoriginal for the rest of my band. I know a lot of scales, but it always feels like so many notes and I don’t know where to start and end up over playing. I love limiting it to just two notes above and below to start, then forced to just creative with that. Can’t wait to give this a try live! Thank you so much!
