    Nick , any tips for the amp settings to dial in the tone.

  • @nickmellor344
    @nickmellor34424 күн бұрын

    Hi Roger I’d say roll off the top end on both guitar and amp or simulator. A neck humbucker is pretty much essential but you can get close on a tele neck p/up. Also 11 gauge or heavier strings and a 1mm or more plec will give you a rounder sound. Metheny also used a lot of reverb and delay late 90s but not so much now. Hope this helps!

    @@nickmellor344 Hey Nick thanks for the info. I knew he used reverb & delay pretty heavy early on. The American Garage album was my intro to Pat and i remember thinking "wow , nobody else has this sound". I've seen Pat live with the group 4 times and have met Pat twice so i feel very lucky. The closest i've heard anybody come to Pat's sound is Canadian guitarist Brian Hughes. His playing is not as linear as Pats but he's got the tone.

    Hi guys. My question is really for anyone who has actually bought the book (or the Author). Firstly, the is the holdsworth run featured in this video actually taken from a holdsworth recording (whether a live concert or a studio recording), or is it just the author's interpretation of the type of phrases Holdsworth has used? Either way, the phrasing is great and sounds fantastic, but it would be good to know. Secondly, the blurb on Amazon mentions backing tracks available for the recording. Are these just brief backing tracks that enables you to see how they sound in a real musically context and gain some technical proficiency playing the individual runs / phrases, or are they at least several minutes in duration such that it gives the player the opportunity to improvise and create similar ideas and phrases? Thanks, Steve.

  • @nickmellor344
    @nickmellor344Ай бұрын

    Hi Steven-The licks are very much ‘In The Style of…’ and my attempt to capture some key recurring motifs, devices and harmonic approaches of the players covered, so no none of the licks are directly ‘lifted’ from recordings. None of the chapters is by any means a comprehensive analysis of the player under analysis, more of a sweeping overview and side-by-side comparison: that’s why everything relates to a ‘G’ tonic to directly compare and contrast the different players’ styles and approaches. I’ve been transcribing these players’ ideas since the 90s, so it’s my attempt to boil those 3 decades down to what I took away from close analysis of their playing. Regarding the backing tracks, you get a full backing track of what you hear behind the licks but for about 4 minutes. Where there’s a mixture of minor 7th licks and dom 7th licks like in the Metheny and Ford chapters there’s 2 backing tracks to go with the chapter as well as the licks at normal and half-speed. I hope this answers your questions. Thanks, Nick.

    E minor shuffle isn’t a Landau riff. It started as a piano riff written by David Paich for a 1984 James Newton Howard album and later in 1991 Steve Lukather turned it into this guitar riff for the Toto song On The Run.

    Hey Nick, that first lick is a lot trickier than it looks, I was trying to alternate pick but I noticed you are hammering on the bottom note, getting up to speed could be a journey

  • @nickmellor344
    @nickmellor344Ай бұрын

    Yes mate, it’s called a ‘Hammer-on from nowhere’-really tricky because the right hand naturally wants to play the note but actually alternate picking at speed is going to be incredibly difficult. I’d say just play the first 4 notes over and over until the right hand gets used to not playing the 4th note and you get used to the rhythm of the 4-note sequence. Hope this helps.

    Pro tip - set video to 1.5x speed to get an idea of the speed at which pay metheny would play these.

    This sound great!! But what does mean V-I over static chords? I never heard this.

  • @nickmellor344
    @nickmellor344Ай бұрын

    This refers to playing a scale or arpeggio over a static I major or Minor chord that implies an ‘imaginary’ V chord. So here over Gm7 I outline a D7 chord in the first example to create tension and resolution as though playing over a V-I in Gm. This suggests a perfect cadence in traditional music theory terms.
