There are a lot of players who have fast technique but no soul. Tim’s feeling and soul really come through on everything he plays.
So agree blues is a feeling you only need one note
SO good Tim, much needed and appreciated here!
this is also very generous playing towards other improvisers. I played along with your blues, and everything I played sounded great, I think it's perhaps because your use of space and strong, clear melodic ideas have interesting internal dialogue already, it's very natural to interact with.
Could not agree more !
Fantastic!
Amen. B.B. King comes to mind as a man who never strayed far from the tonic, and really said something in the few notes he did play.
Tim, I could listen to this video every day (and I probably will). It is so tasteful, both in your verbal message and musical expression. If it were a wine, I would describe this blues as having generous amounts of soul, seasoned with 1960's juke joint R&B, topped with a delicious blend of Bill Doggett's, Honky Tonk sprinkled with just the right amount of space for us to savor what we just heard. Thank you!
I could listen to you play the blues all day long.....I understand and agree with your feeling that, less is more. Thank you for this laid back track. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Amen to that filosophical statement, my conservatory teacher said: a musician is a good cook and the person who can tastefully combine herbs and spices. Exactly the same with music and blues improvisation, know your basics and expand on that. B.B.King comes to mind, the Blues is a vehicle which should never be underestimated because it leaves freedom of soul expression which someone should always take damn seriously, amen to your statement, greetings Vic.
I've died and gone to heaven, THAT TONE...!!! WellSaid WellPlayed. B-)
Great video and reminder. Billy Gibbons is another super player who embodies this approach. Note choice and feel. When I saw him a few years ago he was so laid back and played so far behind the beat I found myself kind of waiting for the next phrase. It always came slightly later than you would expect. Awesome stuff.
You are absolutely in my school of thought. Your ability to bring this across as a suggestion instead of a command is what I think people really appreciate about you. You are the essence of what you are saying.
Good video, shredding is not the Blues. Back in the late 60s I had the opportunity to sit in with Lowell Fulson and T-Bone Walker at a "chittlin' circuit" night club in San Francisco. This happened on two seperate weekends, one with Lowell and the other with T-Bone. I was still a teenager when this was going one. Both guys were very complimentary. Being asked by them to sit in on a set with them was totally unexpected. T-Bone Walker would yell out to me while I played a solo, "Talk to me, talk to me!" His reaction let me know that I was doing something right.
Blues phrasing, especially on guitar, was originally developed to mimic that of the human voice. How many singers do you know who use flurries of sixteenth and thirty-second notes? That said, fast playing does have its place. It takes fleet fingers to play jump blues and get the crowd on their feet and dancing.
Never let flashy technique get in the way of a good melody!
wow well spoken tim they don't give ya time to listen and get into the feel of where there going in a hurry to go nowhere
Beautiful and Soulful ❤
Exactly my friend Tim!!
Well said and well played...thanks Tim.
Good Tim, nice teaching...I like your style, the blues feeling! Greetings from Sweden.
What a great sermon Preacher! You proved your point with that last A shuffle….lovely stuff 👍🍷
Love the way you play the blues, Tim. Feeling and wonderful technique merging for a great sound experience.
This is wisdom!
Thank you for a wonderful reminder/lesson Tim! I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones.
Great feel and vibe, exellent!
This great rootfeeling .. inspiring!! Thanks Tim!! ✌🏼
Peet the Suede
Beautiful phrasing ❤ !Thank you ❤️
Well said and played - thank you,Tim !
Beautiful class
Very nice
Great advice / lesson. To me, fast or slow, strive to choose and own EVERY note. Try not play what my fingers know, but play the note(s) that my ear/soul wants to hear. Ex - Duane's Fillmore Whipping Post solo, lots of fast playing. But I feel he owned every one.
Wise words,too.
So good to hear this! I think it's easy to get into the mindset that you're competing with other guitar players - when in fact the vast majority of people don't play guitar and they are wowed just as much (or more) by someone who plays the blues in a slow and soulful manner - as opposed to a 100 notes per second guy.
Very nice Tim...You make that big box jazz guitar sound excellent for blues playing...I do the same if I play my L-5 but, it sounds good if done properly. Nicely done !!..😊
The risk with taking your time is you might have a singer who thinks you've got nothing to say and jumps back in after 12 bars!
Love it 🇬🇧🌧️
One of the principles of Japanese aesthetics is understatement. Miles cultivated beautiful musical spaces between the notes.
Amen to that Brother Tim! 😎
Beautiful playing as always Tim.
Meanwhile, piano, keyboard, horn and harp players get to play busy solos, lots of notes etc...and never get called up on it, only guitarists it always seems...
For balance, I think it's important to state that the 'too many notes' thing doesn't necessarily mean 'playing fast', it can also mean a rambling, undefined stream of uncertainty, missed resolutions and poorly intonated bending, even at slower tempo. A few well-placed fast, burning lines can have a great effect in building up the energy and climax in a solo, certainly in the blues as well, and can have as much feeling as these deep meaningful one-or-two-note moments, especially when there's a full band behind the player (and you've got your chops together of course... and haven't been lazy all these years and then go around calling out faster players as having 'no soul' ;) ).
I also personally believe that some people (and this isn't a dig or criticism) just simply can't 'hear', appreciate, or process longer lines of notes, like in jazz or classical music, and if a blues-player brings in some of these other influences, they can cop some flak for it, but it's more to do with the listener. I think this is why Jazz in particular gets ridiculed sometimes too, as the dislikers just don't musically hear or understand what is coming at them.
It's not always the case that ABC-simplicity is better, or that 'Less is more' ; 'Less is yawn' sometimes too. Definitely NOT here though.
Hmmm gonna try this , I really lost interest in blues , maybe I’ll get some back
ooh yeah!
This sounds like someone is singing the melody... and that's what blues should sound like.
Once again..Tim is right on the money!! restraint!...Amen
your playing is super class....
Timothy, Im Kimmo: 57 young, playing since 15..., hand probs. lately..,good ears! I tune very down a whale octave down, Im thinking getting them strings a bit stiffer before my fingers or I do, ha! 9- 11,5-15-22w-30w-42w: Yamaha Pacifica 112V strats: GREAT GUITARS: you can tune them to "stan" e or a whale oct down: just today I played one with another neck tuned low e as i said, and the hi e-string ( 009) rings like a soft jazz guitars soft e would ( with my soft jazzy pedals...like a zendrive copy and such..):
just ordered a 6th one used but minty for 230€s, cause I got a lemon neck one....., Ive learned a LOT about guitars using the same brand : each are individuals, strings , nut height, springs...pickups...Im forever thankful to Leo Fender for the trem springs, they just add softness to the tone as do the string winding: strings in my opinion are meant to live so no locking tuners for me...
YOUR left hand finger movement on this vid is like an ocean, SOO DELICATE EACH PART( doctors have names for them parts but not for the ir moves, Ha! zen equals lifetime practice/playing...?..!..
anywho:!
Merry Xmas for xs and a very Merry Christmas for Thee!
Easy does it, eeasy....I have One song in the YT jukebox : Hey Darling ( Harri Laakso recorded it and put it in the air.. its his daughter in pictures!, a merry Ch to you !😎😎😍😍
Sage advice Tim.
Your style and the Gibson sound sweeter every time you play it.
For me, dynamics, phrasing and articulation were always the hallmarks of improvisation
YES exactly, let the music breathe - it is the same as singing - who would prefer a singer that is singing the highest amount of notes ??
On the money
Blues has a tendency to be a bit harder because of the nature of the art form. That hardness can translate as "frantic" as well as a myriad of other emotions expressed through sound.
Check out Duke Robillard,best layed back player around,a true master of time.
Yes Duke is fantastic. He’s an old friend. We are going to be doing a show together here in Seattle in March
@@TimLerchGuitar I hope very much to be able to attend said show.
The more notes that you play faster means you are better.
What chair are you using?
The tone is in the chair!
@@tyroneshuz this one's arms fold back. But nice joke haha....
Dig
We (including me!) play too many notes!! Less is more
Think BB King and now its good .
All I can say is “JACK PEARSON” who this man is talking about 👍👍
The over-playing is particularly evident in the "blues-rock" genre. I can no longer watch extended jams with numerous guitar players taking turns shredding with almost no actual interaction. (yeah, I'm old). Bass players and drummers must be bored to death playing a 12 bar shuffle for 20 minutes behind that.
No offense Mr Lerch, I liked you better without the beard and mustache. you looked about twenty years younger. Unless you're cultivating the old guy look, then by all means. (that was tongue in cheek, by the way). Thanks for another fantastic video.
I’m not cultivating the “old guy look” I am the old guy and this is how I look! Haha.
