    Dweezil Ripped My Flesh by Dweezil Zappa
    SPONTANEOUS PHRASING
    Listening to your own playing and reacting to it
    Dweezil Zappa demonstrates the technique of listening to musical ideas as they are forming and then reacting to those sounds and following the improvisation wherever it may lead me creatively.

      he's only underrated by people who have a scant regard for artistically creative people who have more to offer an audience than they can themselves...therefore their reviews are deemed worthless to open minded musicians. I agree with you 100%.

    Dweezil, thank you so much for using the internet to spread the joys and beauty of music. And 275 thumbs up, and no thumbs down!!! That gives me hope for the world. I hope it is ok to take a minute to share my perspective = at 13 1/2 I saw the Woodstock and Jimi Plays films and fell so in love, that at 14 I bought a friends guitar and was taking lessons. And 42 years later I am still in love with all of the great guitar players, of course, including your dad. Born and raised in Philadelphia, which has seen terrible racial devides, I had 3 black friends in highschool. And something us East coasters know is why your dad hired young Steve Vai, and was the guitar talk of the 70's. Your dad hired Steve because he was the only one who could accurately transcribe you dad's wonderful and crazy lead guitar playing. Hats off To Steve : ) . It is so wonderful to see you carrying on with your fathers awesome musical legacy. And you being all about melodic playing warms my heart. Unfortunetely, even after 40+ years, the subtleties of playing in time and in key have escaped me. But thanks to your teaching, I still have hope. Sorry for the mush, when you are old you will understand. And Frank, you are not forgotten. I believe your dad just may like the idea of being alive forever, on the internet. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful gifts Dweezil.

    The idea of having that "room tone" chord playing the background on the looper pedal is pretty genius. I've never seen anyone else do it in quite that way. He's also really good at modal mixture and playing outside of the box. I wonder who he got it from!

    Bass is the rhythm/key, drums are the timing/rhythm and guitar is the melody. NEVER EVER practice over another guitar. Always practice over drums and pay attention to the bass, snare and symbols. Count to 8 and listen to end note of each 8. And play off of that.

      @simplesimon2960 Před 4 lety +1

      Sounds like he played a 7th chord and then hit an EHX Freeze pedal or some other similar effect to drone the chord. Jazz guitarists use those pedals to work out what's available to them on a per-chord basis.

    • @MrSonicAlchemy
      @MrSonicAlchemy Před 4 lety

      The pedal tone is intentional and it doesn’t make him sound out of key, it simply provides a reference to give a harmonic context to the ideas and sounds he is presenting. As your ear develops, these ideas will sound less “out of key” and more “interesting”.

      "Never play anything that weirds out the listener" lol this man is a Zappa, that's literally his father's trademark..
