You're such a fine guitarist. I think you could just about play anything you wanted to, & always to an impeccable standard. Never a sloppy note or pick. Your vids are always very enjoyable.
Seventy years old and I have taken countless guitar lessons and still can't play to save my life but I still play for my own enjoyment from time to time. Over the years I have learned many things but never one song in its entirety, by the time I learn it I am done with ever hearing it again but love just fooling around with sounds and positions and skills. I have to say I enjoy your videos and your compassion and knowledge and it gives me more directions I can go to improve my ear and listening powers. I may never play to the public again but it gives me a wonderful time for myself when I do play and try to learn new techniques you have learned so quickly in your life. In short, I am trying to say thank you for sharing your knowledge so unselfishly you are one of the few that deserve to be called a professional teacher.
No shredding on this channel. Another reason to subscribe and follow. Not to mention the soulful playing. Well done, as usual. Keep up the good work. Deeply appreciated.
I've been stuck on your hendrix rhythm video for the last week, picking up bits I love and trying to perfect them. This video is perfect for what I need next. Thank you
Every time I watch and listen to you I get motivated. You are fantastic at demonstrating the greats. At the end of the day just play the guitar with feeling. You are smooth at nailing it!
Some great ideas.. as usual 😀 Fave bit of dynamics for BB King is in the last minute or two of 'The Thrill Is Gone' at Montreux in 1993... There's a long period of very quiet playing.. he hits a couple of harder notes.. his trademark 'spike' and slide... and then he stands and rips into it... That is really goosebumps f'me... 🤩
Thanks a ton Thom. To hear the different styles from the masters (played by another master....) is simply amazing. It really brought home how different players approach their playing. So humbling, yet so very inspiring. Peace.
Your observation about the genius (my word) of BB King's dynamics is so well made. Buddy Whittington is a fine, long established rock and blues player who is also a master of dynamics, and for mine is deserving of much more attention.
Thank you, for the great lesson , it's refreshing to have more than one approach to playing thank you . So pleased to see the other great guitarist by the name of Moore being mentioned, Elvis would be pleased.
i agree by far when it comes to the most who changed the way we look at the fretboard. jimi hendrix. his blueprint in playing licks combining the scale and chords to come up with the melody. no one ever thought about that until he came and changed guitar playing forever.
Great lesson of practical tips and soulful playing, thank you for sharing! Any advice on how you get your outrageous guitar tone would also be greatly appreciated.
It HAS to be fun to be you! Because it is greatly entertaining and inspiring to watch/listen to you. And to think guitar is just One of your great talents! Stay Well Groovy One!
Hello! You are such a monster player and so versatile. I love your videos. I always marvel at the fluidity of your strumming hand, and notice how you hold the pick is different than others. Would you ever consider doing a video on your strumming style? I would really appreciate that inside look. Cheers.
Owww a Top Ten - what are your thoughts on Freddy King , Jeff Beck , Ritchie Blackmore, Mike Okdfield & Leslie West? .. Anyway : it’s always a joy to hear and listen to your explanation . Your kids are playing air guitar as well?
If you ever want to sell that Paoletti I’m your guy. It’s stunning. Visually and sonically. I contacted them after I saw your vid and they just don’t have any others w that beautiful wood grain.
As great as this video was, it is pretty jaw dropping that you fade out into one of Eddie Van Halen's most difficult intro riffs. I hope there is more to come.
