Brett, I was kicking around on my guitar with the ideas you taught in this video....and suddenly I remembered an old song that was on one of Johnny Winters first studio albums...the song is called " Ain't nothing to me" And in that song there is a lick that resolves first to the Em chord and then you play the exact same lick only this time you resolve to G.... it works and sounds good. LOL- way cool and good song....check it out if you can.......😃

I see Brett has a different guitar and get the feeling he's loving it. The tone sounds great, and I reckon his right hand is enjoying a break from that annoying volume pot on the end of the bridge pick up. Some nice Walsh / Felder style licks in there to enjoy.

yo Brett, GREAT (GREAT!) video. Would be good if you could demonstrate these licks on a backing track tho. do you have these pedals where you can record your chord progression then play it back? if you do, perhaps you can do that, then demonstrate the licks on top of the chords so we really hear it. I think it would be even better, but great video man.

Hey Brett- One of the best lessons I have ever seen from you! Nice job. I can not tell you how much it means to me that you mentioned how great Don Felder and Joe Walsh are or were -especially the Licks they came up with on Hotel California. IMO Joe is not mentioned near enough as a great player and if it wasn't for -Don - a lot of the Eagles "Hits" wouldn't have been hits at all.

Brett, thanks for this class... But i've one question... Why are you using a Gmajor/Eminor scale if it seems this progression (using G/F/C majors etc) is in C major / A minor key ????

@BrettPapa

The more I learn about playing guitar and improvisational soloing, the more I realize that you can conceivably land on ANY note in any given piece. But if you want it to sound good and sound like it belongs, you have to understand the structure of what you’re playing. This lesson really helps explain how and when it works to play certain notes. I feel like BP has given me permission to play certain things that other guitar teachers have said to stay away from. Thanks for the lesson. There’s a LOT to learn here…

Quick question… in the first progression (7:20) example shouldn’t it be an F# that you use instead of an F since your in G major? Thanks.

@BrettPapa

2 жыл бұрын

That is the typical Rock way to do a progression and it makes it more of a mixolydian mode which is still a major mode. G Major pentatonic also doesn't have a F# in it so it all works.

Your characterization of people who like jazz is uncalled for and near unforgivable. I'm pretty much a simple person with simple tastes but I love jazz. I feel an emotional involvement with the music, from the early stuff with Louis Armstrong et al to bebop and beyond (especially the avant garde of the sixties). I'm not the cartoon stereotype you as much as sneered at. Is the music of Parker, Blakey, Mingus, Coltrane, The Art Ensemble of Chicago and associates something created by and for poseurs? I think not.
