      I’m 16, I didn’t pick up the guitar because of him, but he changed slide for me. Him and Joey made me reimagine how I could use a slide, and in doing so changing my non-slide playing. I’m eternally greatful to Joey and Ariel for their music.

    You’re a real guitarist man. No noodling just pure feel and exploration. The most important thing is you don’t fear silence or space - you harness it and fill it really beautifully so the payoff is well earned. I’ve seriously listened to it like 20 times and it just keeps getting better

  • @syllomusic
    @syllomusic Před rokem +9

    This is one of the realest lessons I've heard in MANY years, there is SO MUCH pressure on younger guitarists to do the crazy shit they saw in the short clip, ignoring all the context around it, the silence that allows the sound to pop out, the mellow parts which allow the peaks to ring through, the evolution, phases, and psychedelic journeys you can take people on when you take a step back and play from your heart.

      @Sloozer45 Před 3 lety

      @Shred5 just for sake of accuracy, Palmisano didn't change the title to, "The Best Solo..."; That's the title the original poster gave it. So, Palmisano is just informing us which video he's reacting to.

      @@Sloozer45 for the sake of accuracy, if you're going to correct someone you should at least make sure you're not full of shit. He did in fact change the title by dropping the end off the title, as the full title is "Possibly the best guitar solo I’ve heard in 12 years of owning a music venue! Keep Watching!"

As I'm guessing you've seen, Michael Pamisano (guitar teacher reacts) uploaded a reaction to one of your live shows. Joey has been a guest on one of his live react videos. I keep waiting for YOU to be one of the guests!

    Ariel, In watching the "Best solo" video I was foremost impressed about how you mixed slide playing with single note playing but I can see now - in your candid demonstrations here that you often combine slide and standard single note playing within a single lick or phrase! That seems very unique! And, you're doing all this in standard tuning which is I believe much more challenging for slide. Generally in standard I use the slide on my 2nd finger so I can slant the slide and get more chordal variety - but also use my pinky at times. Nice meeting you Ariel. I'll watch for your band. Very good music! Excellent stuff!
