Great Friday finger kicking licks Adrian, that tasty wee cage system is something we wander around in and get stuck in for years. It's refreshing instruction to get our blinkers off and break out of the porridge we get stuck in. Smashing Friday offering Keep up the good work Adrian.
Adrian, love your work! You've touched on Big Star in the past. One in particular that is fascinating is "You Get What You Deserve". Would love a shot at that one. Thank you!
A fan request, for when you're in a Tele licks mood: Country Pie from Nashville Skyline. Love your lessons, Adrian, especially the diversity of genres.
Great lesson. I see your G form lick 1 as a Gm triad followed by an Fmaj7 arpeggio….which totally makes sense those notes are in the G Dorian scale. G Dorian = F major. (A light bulb moment for me!)
You have to be careful when talking about scales and modes. There isn’t a G Dorian scale, it’s G Dorian mode, which as you’ve realised is the 2nd mode of F Major. Just the scale of F Major played from G to G. When starting from G the F Major scale includes the notes of a G minor chord. So the Dorian mode is a minor mode. Also a good thing to remember is each mode has a ‘special’ note, which gives it it’s colour or flavour. For Dorian, that note is the major 6th, which is the note E. A really typical progression for this mode would be Gm to C7. Think Santana - he is Mr Dorian
As a jazzmazzter owner I’d have to say I love the tone of your pickups, and your string gauge. If you don’t mind I’m curious what pickups, and string gauge 😢 you use? I use the the fender pure 65s but my strings are extremely old and need to be replaced which may be my problem. Great channel!!!
While they look like P90s, this is a jazzmaster model with jazzmaster pickups. They are different. The J.Mascis Jazzmaster signature has P90s under its simila covers, but this and other jazzmasters do not. Common misconception. Cheers!
Sounds a silly question to me but here goes, in your demo, would I be correct in saying all of what you played could all have been played in the first position, obviously allowing for octaves ??? Just trying to get my head around it, I am in my 70s so don’t laugh 🤔 Thanks.
