      Pete's style is very good for learning and teaching imho. Too many new guitarists start out trying to learn blues style solo guitar riffs and licks and never really become musical or inclusive and get disillusioned with not having any "range" to their playing.

  • @Worlster
    @Worlster 5 років тому +30

    It's all about the phrasing. Because Pete's phrasing is so musical, he could get away with (almost) playing any note, and as long as it moves to a good note, it will sound great. It's like Robben Ford... Most of what he plays is pentatonic, with some tasty diminished/altered scale thrown in. But it's his phrasing that makes it sublime. I put Pete and Robben in a similar category, which is a big compliment to both of them. If you listen to other well know UA-camrs, you will immediately hear the difference. It's all about the groove and the phrasing. It has to feel good to be good.
    Oh, and I forgot to mention... The tone! Lovely edge of breakup, neck tele pickup, a little reverb. Ah! Breaks up when hit hard but clean when less attack. Magnificent!

    • @alfgwahigain5544
      @alfgwahigain5544 5 років тому +3

      Phrasing! We, as guitarists need to remember to take a break from note-slinging every once in a while. Pete has this down. His playing is top notch and melodic, but yeah - his phrasing is killer.

You know what- I think you could combine pedal/gear demo into these type of lesson and have the ultimate content. You kind of did that when you mentioned what pedal you were using, but feel free to show some settings or adjustments to the pedal and you have yourself an amazing gear demo/guitar lesson combo. I will watch this video over and over, and I know I'm not alone. Bravo.

Yes Pete has a sprinkling of magic pixie dust over his soul for the guitar thats for sure and humble to boot. John Mayer recognizes it in Pete and told him so . therefore Mr Pete keep the fingers moving and tones free flowing. Heaven is watching .

    That's how this video had made me feel. I mean, I'm not even a guitar player, though NOW I wish I was.
    Ive very occasionally seen Pete on a couple of Andertons videos, and have always been blown away by his sense of fun and of course fabulous playing. Didn't really think to find him elsewhere. I'm on it now.
    Thanks Pete. This was an absolute joyful pick me up. I'm sure, in my ignorance, I'm not aware of much of the musicianship you've displayed here, especially reading some of the more educated comments, but I still remain inspired and thoroughly enriched by this wonderful demonstration. 👍
