I'm a musician and teacher based in Los Angeles. I make educational videos about music, with an emphasis on (but not limited to) piano and keyboard playing.
This is the perfect lesson for understanding everything behind the musical idea… Thanks a lot…❤

It's a great solo. I don't think there's any need to emphasize the theory behind, as it's using the minor pentatonic, extended into blues scale with the flat 5 (or can be seen as a passing note), which is the most common scale used for soloing in rock and pop music. And when it's not exclusively that scale, it is usually mixed with notes from the chords. As for the blues scale from the key (in E here), it would only be an option with a blues chord progression, which is not that common in rock music (more common in a type of rock music that leans towards "country"). What really makes this solo so good is HOW he uses the scale, and how tasteful it is.

Uhhm isn’t there a B7 in between the F#m and E chords? Also Billy’s simply playing the pentatonic scale as the solo with a couple of passing notes using the blue note.
@christianklikovitsАй бұрын
Paul often plays a B towards the end of the 2-bar F#mi phrase, but the chord instruments stay on the F#mi. So you could look at it as implying B9sus or F#mi/B, but definitely not B7.

The guitars and bass are not in tune with the piano. It’s slightly off. 🧐
@Dekoherence-ii8pwАй бұрын
6:50 But it adds something that the left and right hands are slightly different. It's like the notes are dancing around each other.
@christianklikovitsАй бұрын
I still think it wasn't necessarily intentional, but these imperfections add a human element to music that you don't get so much when you fix, tune and quantize the life out of every note like we do nowadays.
