Just watching this in 2022 and that tip about staring at the 15th / 17th fret is so helpful even in other things where I often overshoot (when i follow my finger with my eyes). Such a simple thing but wow
i wish people who make tutorials on how to play a song go over what ampt their playing what the gain bass treble etc is set to and if they are using any pedals
As a beginner guitar player, it's really cool to see and hear some beautiful solos that aren't just straight shredding. I don't think I'll ever have crazy chops so it's good to know I'll still be capable of some beautiful music despite that XD Don't get me wrong. John Mayer can play the guitar like nobody's business lol
Yes nice tip about changing the strings while playing slide intensive solo cuz i once bruised my finger while playing canon rock earlier. I wish i knew this before.
Hé Justin, very nice lesson :). Just what I needed. One question; the very first few chords (the intro before the first solo starts) , how do you play those? That's not part of this lesson is it? Thnx for all the epic lessons. 👊🤘
Hi Justin! Superb lesson. One question please: you said it’s G minor pentatonic. But the solos use many other notes, too. It’s he switching to C minor within or to major pentatonic? Thank you
It's largely E minor pentatonic as far as I can tell, surely? An Em pentatonic scale sounds perfect over a song in G major and this is how I interpret this song structure and the fret positions of the soloing notes he uses, which largely sit within the E minor pentatonic scale patterns. Of course, some might say it is simply an E minor blues rather than a song in G major, the former being simply being the relative minor of the latter. As a learner I would be interested to hear others' views.
Justin says on his website that he is using the Luxe 2 profile by M Britt with his Kemper. I couldn't find this exact profile and I'm not sure which M Britt profile pack it is in. Justin also uses the 62 Luxe 6 profile by M Britt for Mayer tones (which may be the same profile as the Luxe 2 but with a different name). If you haven't been to Justin's website yet you are missing out on something great.
Gor,yeah,that last slide dude!Just being sarcastic!Not that bad at all in All honesty but of course your a seasoned pro,so to you it’s a big deal but to us beginner,mediums,it’s absolutely fine.
Use a compressor pedal if you wanna maintain a clean tone, but add sustain. Or crank up your guitar amp to get more distortion. And basically, distortion is compressing the sound as well. (increasing the sustain).
