  • Hey everyone. Tutorial and a bit of discussion on what I consider to be one of the very best beginner guitar solos. Yellow Ledbetter by Mike McCready of Peal Jam.
    This tutorial is very much geared towards the beginner to early intermediate soloist, so apologies to you more experienced guitarists out there watching, if I tend to get a bit long winded at times, haha.
    Hope you enjoy and find it useful.
    Cheers, Kelly

    Always loved this song but never tried to play it. I thought it would be to complicated but I am encouraged now to give it a try.

    Once again Kelly your rationale and explanation for picking this song is very clear. It’s been a voyage of rediscovery for me, listening to Pearl Jam. Thanks for covering this. Absolutely agree with you that the solo is all about feel and mastering those Mercedes bends!

    When I heard this song's intro for the first time, which is considerably more difficult in comparison to the solo, I expected the solo(s) include really difficult runs but it didn't. It's slow and tasteful and perfect just the way it is.

    Awesome lesson. I just recently watched "Super Pumped", a Netflix series about how the Uber compamyu was formed and how the company conducted itself to cause the founder to loose his top position. Last scene closed out with Yellow Ledbetter song. So fitting for the ending, and I got motivated to learn the solo. You sure helped me with that learning process. Thank you for your exceptional style of teaching.

    Another great first solo is Comfortably Numb. Very pentatonic with a smooth flow, and great but simple techniques.

  • @jrenaud22
    @jrenaud22 Před rokem +1

    Thank you much! I feel like you're checking out my YT history, haha. I am exactly at the skill level you targeted this for. I recently tried to tackle this by watching a different video and I basically didn't make it passed "part 1". You got me through the whole thing in about 1-2 hours. I could play along with you at about 80% playback speed. Now I just need to work it up to speed.

    Do you by chance have a video regarding the intro? After watching this video I think I would benefit greatly from it if you do.

    If you want a really easy solo for beginners. Yngwie Malmsteen's Black Star is pretty easy. Takes about 5 minutes to learn.

      @jacobdaniel8239 Před měsícem

      Well, not trying to be rude or anything but theory isn't for beginners in my opinion. You need to develope a real taste for playing before you ever indulge in the why's and how's.

      As far as solos go, of course there are really easy ones, but kind of boring to play. This is a relatively easy solo for beginners. It doesn't have any quick runs.
