Check out my 20 Smooth Jazz Licks Package: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h52CtsqLaLiWmco.html

Hallo Andy, my name is Andy to. I am from Munich. I recognized the song hearing 2,3 bars. An all time classic. I'm also into this style of music. Playing Guitar helps me trough a hard time. My son passed away 4 months ago. The age of only 32 years. He played the guitar to. So, learning with your videos, and playing guitar in general, reduces my gref. I feel that Dave is with me, when I play. So. Thank you.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am new to playing the guitar and I am in my mid 50’s it’s so relaxing I wish I had learnt years ago. Take care of yourself

I hope you are teaching in a university somewhere because more students need a teacher like you who has all these practical resources at there disposal! I had to perform this song with a solo and only wish I had seen this at the time so I had a better leg to stand on! Your a legend mate!

Beautiful, great player and groove.

Smooth, flawless, and seemingly effortless

Brother you’re good!!!! Your teaching is alluring & proper.

Excellent video and content, love that guitar and tone 👍🎸 thanks so much, best to you man!

Hi, excellent lesson, beautiful tone. Can I please trouble you for guitar brand / maker and also amp BECAUSE your tone is sublime. Beautiful ebony fretboard, such a nice tone.

@@AndyDacoulis Thanks for the prompt response Andy, I'm not up with much of the 'tech' and have always been guitar straight in to amp with the addition of a couple of effects such as wah or tremolo before I stopped playing. Having said that, the tone from your set-up is eye-waveringly smooth (from my perspective). Having said that in the earlier video it looked like your git had an ebony fretboard, yet another view tended to suggest the opposite although it doesn't matter. I particularly like your soul/r'n'b stuff that you have also done but I have only recently discovered your channel so I need to go back and revisit. Whilst fundamentally a blues player ... (NOT rock blues) I yearn to evolve the jazzier aspect of stuff such as what you play and also the sort of stuff on the Malaco releases - that derivate hybrid stuff such as Mayfield and other players. Aside from blues I think that is my greatest desire along with the swing stuff such as Tiny Grimes et al up to the more recent players such as Jr Watson and so on. Thanks for replying & cheers from Australia.

Great stuff priceless TY.... Do you do your own beard or have It done ? Little off topic.

Hi, New subscriber here. I watched a couple of your "lick" videos. It would be helpful learning if you posted or demonstrated the actual chords being played behind the riffs. For instance, this video and the Robben Ford do not demonstrate the actual chords being played during the performance at the beginning of your videos. Thanks for posting and excellent chops!

Hi - thanks for your helpful comment. The chords are indicated on the Tabs and I didn't indicate how to play the chords in this video because the keyboards are playing the voicings. I do show many of the chord diagrams in my other videos but you bring up a good point and I will do this moving forward as much a s possible. Thanks again!

@@AndyDacoulis Hey Andy, Thanks for the reply. I recently learned an excellent version of Isn't She Lovely. The voicings were spot on. I was hoping to learn how you interpreted the lead playing around your voicings, so that I could wrap my head around your tasty licks. Again, thanks so much for posting these advanced guitar technique videos.

Sweet playing. Why did you change the key from the original?

What do you mean when you say a "vertical lick?"

@AndyDacoulis

Жыл бұрын

Hi Gavett - it means that the lick is outlining the chord on which it is played. Ex: a D7 lick in this song works "only" on D7. Don't play the D7 lick on any other chord in the progression.
