    Love that you said its ok to take a rest and not blow over everything. I have to constantly remind myself that less is more. Great lesson. I would subscribe twice if I could. One of my favorite songs of all time.

    Damn Jack, That section where you pentatonically outline the chord shapes from below, resonates with me. Really awesome lesson and playing.

      The ascending Eric Johnson thing?
      Yeah…it’s a nice idea but it’s pretty hard to play. I use a few of these licks still…but rarely do I bust that one out. It’s pretty complex.
      Thanks for the comment

      @@CrispySonOfA Yeah…that’s the idea for sure. The pentatonic scale is more open sounding and at the same time less definitive so it works over a wider variety of chords. Really a fun sequence

    How do you get that 70's Jerry guitar tone out of the strat?

    • @jacksnax4guitar460
      @jacksnax4guitar460  Před 2 lety +3

      Hi Jeff!
      Welcome to the channel! Happy to help.
      Fender style clean amp set pretty bright, with not very much bass (0-2) with just a little overdrive. Just a hint. Add a good amount of reverb and one dull sounding delay set very quiet. Fender strat set to the middle pickup.
      If you play the right notes and take note of the dynamics and rhythm you should be in good shape.
      The last little bit of it is getting your right hand to be in the right position between the neck pickup and the bridge pickup. When possible, on key notes it’s really helpful to use a little pinch harmonic (usually with an upstroke) to bring out a little more chirp, chime and upper order harmonics.
      Heavy pick 1.5 mm helps a ton.
      That and subscribe to my channel! Hahaha!
      Cheers,
      JD

      @@jacksnax4guitar460 Yes. I have all of those techniques down. Except I don't pick that close to the fret board. I did notice on some JGB videos that he will suddenly pick way up over the fretboard. I'll try that. Thanks.

      @@Jeff-S I think the Strat years is when I hear that clucky sound most often. Once he went to 24 frets, which moves the neck pickup, and the volume knobs moved from the Strat location allowing his hand back towards the bridge more…It seems like that sound was less common. Still did it… but more as an effect for the whole solo, like in Loser.
      Just a theory… could be he just was into something new. Strat era JG is my favorite.

    can one simply solo in e mixolydian and it covers the changes? Thus you don't need to keep track of playing in D major, A major, then E mixo?

    • @jacksnax4guitar460
      @jacksnax4guitar460  Před 2 lety +3

      You can try that approach but I tend to find it falls short.
      Technically the notes are all A major/E mixo- but it definitely is beneficial to think chords rather than scales in my experience. It’s more complicated at first… but it’s better
