    Great guitar player and teacher. Always looking forward to these videos and makes me want to pick up my guitar even more!

    Outstanding grove grabbing class. I’ve partied to this music for years and it still holds up. It’s one of first hard core groves I learned on guitar. It is relentless. Thanks putting this groove in your class.

    @DougCanney1 Před 3 lety +1

    I love it he talks about his learning, younger days. I had some tough older players around me too, that thought my style of playing wasn’t efficient. It worked out for me, josh too obvious. He’s such a great player and dude.

    Perfect for where I’m at! I’m doing some of this already and there’s some good stuff to mine in there.
    When I finally learned a little bit of drums, my guitar playing came alive. The recent band I was in (I moved) I was the rhythm player. Someone happened to video a piece. I was also the sound guy and I could see me watching the board and the vocalists and not focused on my playing My right arm was a machine cranking out the pocket, and that’s when I finally saw myself as a solid rhythm player. Those hours paid off...

  • @schultzvil
    @schultzvil Před 4 lety +2

    another great one, Josh. Telling it like it is. Playing by yourself and getting that internal clock and finding that pocket is what it's all about. Well done!

    @Gizzmo77 Před 4 lety +15

    Josh isn't just a fantastic musician but has a really relaxing way of putting his passion across; as if you're the only one he's talking to. I could watch and listen to this guy for days. Just so good and really humble.

    • @deluxairhead
      @deluxairhead Před rokem +1

      Don't know about you but what I finding is there are so many pro musicians that are just awesome cats, super humble and easy going, I want hang out with them, I always used to see the over confident ones years ago but now its the other way, thanks Josh for being real......

    Ok I broke my head over this one for way to long. And then he says "Mann this is soo easy" :( !!
    If you're a regular mortal like me and don't know what is going on, here is how I understand it: It's a shuffle rhythm counted 1 N tri-puh-let tri-puh-let 4. This is why you'll see him hit those downstrokes after downstrokes. It's because down up down triplets sound stronger. It took too long for me to stop thinking 'one e and uh' on this cause I am a tad dull and funk hurr durr -_-"...

    And it's really crazy for me to be correcting a guy who's light years beyond any level I'll reach but, at least in this version of Doing it to Death there's a "B" part of the figure that's not the 1/2step chord rise: czcams.com/video/HIakXEm4wPE/video.html
