  • Gimme Three Steps Lead and Rhythm Guitar Lesson. When you analyze the guitar licks in this song, you see that they're really pretty much just typical guitar licks using the notes from the chords that are playing in the background.

      Yes! This is what I need too, shapes may show how to play the song but doesn't explain anything. I need to know why something is played the way it is so I can progress.

      Chad Tinsley no they don’t , they were geniuses and just extremely talented, especially Ed king . As far as I know he wrote all the music to sweet home Alabama , and a lot on other songs that he really never got credit for .

    • @abelincoln5698
      @abelincoln5698 Před 4 lety +7

      yes . They're fucking brilliant in my opinion. Why they don't get mentioned in the list of all time great rock guitarists is beyond me

      @Randy Randal Steve Gaines was far superior in ability and knowledge than Rossington and Collins, though both were decent in their own right. Check out Steve Gaines solo in Sweet home Alabama at Oakland. If it is improvised..... wow!!

    I hadn't played this song since February 2020...the last gig my band played before the pandemic. I come by this lesson to revisit the song before rehearsals and find I've not been playing accurately in several places. It's quite nice when you hear someone play it slow and accurately...you can immediately tell it's correct. I love the additional theory talk as well. Thanks for the lesson!

    @robindavis726 Před 2 lety

    I can't believe you don't have more subscribers. My guess is the majority of players seeking instruction need the "third fret on the fourth string" type of instruction. I am not dogging them. I was there too. But, I am just chiming in to say thank for providing guidance to players who know where the notes are on the fretboard and understand chords, scales, and arpeggios and are just happy to have you give a shorthand sketch for them to fill in to learn these songs. Intermediate type of players. It is frustrating to wade through the beginner videos to get guidance on a song. I paid the lifetime membership on your site and it is well worth it, although I don't use it nearly enough. Thank you for what you do. I sincerely appreciate it. And for you other guys out there. No, I am not a friend or family member of his. I don't know him. This effusive praise is genuine. He is a very valuable resource. We live in time where we have experts giving us their life's work for free. I am 65. It wasn't always this way.

    I was cutting the rug
    Down at place called The Jug
    With a girl named Linda Lou
    When in walked a man
    With a gun in his hand
    And he was looking for you know who
    He said, "Hey there, fellow
    With the hair colored yellow
    Whatcha tryin' to prove?
    'Cause that's my woman there
    And I'm a man who cares
    And this might be all for you
    I said, excuse me
    I was scared and fearing for my life
    I was shaking like a leaf on a tree
    'Cause he was lean, mean
    Big and bad, Lord
    Pointin' that gun on me
    "Oh, wait a minute, mister
    I didn't even kiss her
    Don't want no trouble with you
    And I know you don't owe me
    But I wish you'd let me
    Ask one favor from you"
    "Oh, won't you
    Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
    Gimme three steps toward the door?
    Gimme three steps, gimme three steps,…

    They may be just basic Rock'n'Roll licks, but Gary sure makes them his own in this country-rock classic! Thanks for breaking it down for us. You don't spend precious minutes explaining every single note like some CZcams teachers do. If people need that much in the way of a finger by finger guide, I would suggest that they are not of a sufficient level of ability to be attempting a difficult piece, and should instead attend to their practising. The skill will come in time and hopefully the videos will still be up to learn from then.

    • @LEADSOLO

    It's good the way you use the names of chords and notes when teaching unlike other teachers using all those numbers. If a student don't know the notes on the neck of the guitar it's time he learned that first before trying to solo

  • @witzed1
    @witzed1 Před 4 lety

    I have a general question. How do you study or what do you study to know the fretboard was well as you do. It appears that your understanding is a combination of notes, chords, and music theory. That would make a great lesson. Thanks

    • @LEADSOLO
      @LEADSOLO  Před 4 lety

      Actually when I was 10 years old my guitar teacher told me one week to only be able to name the notes on the first three frets when I played the natural note scale. Because I could read music and play it but I didn't know what notes I was playing. Ever since then that habit stuck. My entire life of figuring out solos has had a habit of naming the note in my head as I play it. Because of course I wanted to know how those notes came from the chords. So if you only get in the habit of thinking of the names of the notes after a while they will be automatic. Then you can see what's going on a lot easier. Just stop and work your way up the neck to find the name of the note that you're playing if you don't know it. Thanks for the question and the suggestion
