    I have this personality flaw where whenever I stop getting better I lose my motivation instead of trying harder, and I pretty much quit playing for a few months until my missing playing overwhelms my lethargy brought about by my mediocrity. This video just broke me out of that lethargic state about two weeks into it. Thanks for being awesome as both a guitarist and a teacher.

      Agree completely, Chuckle. If an almost-intermediate player can practice their way through this and have these light bulb moments, I can't think of a single other video on CZcams that can get you from this level to the next. I've improved more in a week than I did in the past year. And all the other videos that seemed too advanced are becoming within reach.

    Sometimes I experience this rare, unique and wonderful phenomenon where I genuinely believe I can see directly into someone's soul. And their soul communicates with mine in such a way that I instantly gain a complete and total understanding for who and what that individual truely is and why they are here. And you sir, are as genuine and wholesome as any that I've encountered. It was an absolute pleasure to cross your path.

    Love how he says “this probably doesn’t sound very good”. Sounded great! Exactly what I was looking for. Solos like this are a groove, taking us on a trip. No extra outlandish tricks and excess flair to distract. Just a straight up groove. Love it!

    • @coloaten6682
      @coloaten6682 Pƙed 3 měsĂ­ci

      Couldn't agree more! Also there are different types of solo used at different times. What we just saw played by the excellent Mr Stich wouldn't sound so inspiring if used as a solo in a stadium rock gig (All the bells and whistles were missing for that) , but any kind of smaller, more intimate setting live or on a recording it would sound incredible!

  • @leeanderson9486
    @leeanderson9486 Pƙed rokem

    The greatest point in my opinion about this lesson is to not look at arpeggios as isolated, up/down the neck exercises as that approach really just reinforces a “disassociation” between the why and the how; it makes learners feel that they’re somehow irrelevant or superfluous, but when described this way as, “bits of the chord you’re throwing out to the audience”. You can really see they’re the roadmap to locking into whatever you’re trying to play over.

    Such an incredible important video. After essentially learning the pentatonic scales as shapes alone, I felt ever solo I played sounded the same. I thought I needed to go down the path of modes as a way to make my playing more interesting, but this CAGED approach is helping me be so much more melodic. And the real kicker is that it's even fewer notes to pick from than the pentatonic scale but it still opens up to so much variety. Thanks so much for putting me on to this!

    I find myself rewatching your videos. Some things don’t stick the first time around. Great material as usual!

    Hey duder...first, your lessons are amazing! Second, speaking for the only person i can....myself...everybody, especially artists, has to support themselves so rock those sponsor plugs. Its exciting to see people succeed doing what they love and I for one am stoked to hear what you think about the gear you use...especially if its a brand who is willing to help you keep on keeping on!!!!
