Thx for turning me on to this great player, born in the state of WV in which I currently reside! Maputo by Marcus as done by Dave/Bob is one of my faves.
I've said before in a number of places, great players of the past didn't use synthetic reeds did they ? I know I'm being a Luddite but do plastic reeds biodegrade ?
Id always assumed that solo on the Katy Perry song was some synth sax bc its so insane--of course it was just Lenny Pickett lol. If you get a chance check out Bill Holloman's solo during Danny Gatton's Austin City Limits performance. Its in the first song and has always blown me away.
0:17 I just skipped three other videos on this subject because the guys were like exxagerating or bellowing at the beggining of the video and I had to stop to comment because it happened again, it is obnoxious, just why?
Wow. That's all I can say. What an incredible tip - such a simple and effective technique that obviously even the masters use. For me I was however confused with the whole b5-b3-2-1 thing only because I was already thinking in natural minors with flatted 5th so talking the notes as they translate from major really threw me for a few minutes. Bottom line for me (probably just me) it would have been much clearer saying it's the first 4 notes of any blues scale going backwards. That's it. I would have immediately understood that but that's just me because I don't think of the altered notes from major - instead my fingers have just memorized the notes in the blues scales and I don't think about how they're altered. For years I've practiced blues scales starting on the tonic. I know it's dumb but I did. This simple thing of just starting on the 4th note of the blues scale and playing down is crazy simple and crazy cool.
"This video is brought to you by BUDGET TITLES R US" - priceless. Seriously, though, that lesson was priceless. I mean, we're talking 'more precious than your mom's Tupperware collection' kind of priceless. And as for this lick? It reigns supreme, even over THE LICK. That’s right, it’s the king of all licks-crowned, sceptered, and probably has a Netflix special in the works.
Rusty Bryant is one of the greatest for gutsy bluesy soul funk. Not famous enough by far. You can't help grinning when your hear his licks. Fire eater used to be the first song on our set list to get the groove going.
This helps so much. Only yesterday I was looking for info and some help on the solo for “lily was here”. It will still probably take me 10+ years to learn it and be able to play it but this really helps. Thanks Jamie
