Thank You! To SEE someone actually try to figure out a lick/song like the rest of us, rather than teach or show they can play it! This process is so important to growing as a player.

@andrewmccombs7347 2 года назад

I don't think non-players understand that part. That's why they think that pro guitarists or even working musicians in general are doing something magical worthy of god-like praise... because they don't see the thousands of hours spent stumbling over oneself and feeling like your brain and hands are retarded, and if you happen to be unfortunate to live with a non-player who does not share your enthusiasm for struggling through long periods of sucking, it can be kind of frustrating to explain to them that you're sorry for burdening their ears, but this is the process which must be done. They just don't understand or put two and two together. Of course, one day, you'll hear them saying "Wow, he's good, isn't he?" like some devil mysteriously showed up and magically made you able to play something with the flick of his blood-pen. And still... they won't understand... this is exactly what Eddie Van Halen or Eric Clapton went through. They may be special, but they weren't born that way. They became that way through PRACTICE!!!

Played this over & over maybe 100 times when I first heard it on the DVD. Absolutely killer. My favourite thing on the entire freaking internet. Sam’s playing Earl Hooker’s cheap Les Paul copy there with that killer tone that Billy Gibbons would kill for! Wonderful. Rhett you did a hell of a job here too! Respect ✊️🎸✨ The fabulous Greg Koch does this pretty great too.

@vicesquadpunk 2 года назад

The only thing that keeps me going after decades of playing and writing is to know that absolutely, I cannot copy the greats with any true accuracy and, in return, no one can play my original licks and riffs with the intent and feel like me… without that somewhat simplistic and fragile thought I would have hung up the guitar years ago ✊️😊 There is no substitute for learning other players licks and styles but ultimately its a case of, "DO WHAT YOU DO and DO IT WITH PASSION" 🔥❤️🔥

Its these little nuances that each individual player holds as their standard because it was comfortable for them when they picked up an instrument. And in most cases self taught. So sometimes those fundamental bad habits evolve into a style or sound that grabs us and we want more! Love watching and learning across the guitar channels on the Tube!

Failed attempt? I disagree. You have the gist of this- I would call it four days of success. It can take months even years of noodling around with tunes like this and then one day all the baby steps come together and you got it. I am an accomplished finger-style guitarist and over the course of the last 3.5 - 4 years have really been studying bluegrass flat-picking, with a focus on David Grier...took a couple thousand hours the first year to get a grasp and even start to get it down ( the way I wanted to)and a few thousand more hrs.since then- but I'm getting it, it's all very comfortable and familiar now....but what a humbling experience it has been.

This is what makes learning guitar so much fun. Whether you have been at it for one year or for fifty. When a guitar player says they don't need to practice, a couple of things come to mind: they are lazy, have huge egos, or they are dead okay 3 things. Thanks for sharing Rhett, gonna go practice now. :)
