3 Keith Scott Licks From 1985

[@BCTTV_DTJ]

The intro solo to It's Only Love has always been one of my favorites!!

[@michaeleaster1815]

Keith Scott isn't a household name even in Canada, and Bryan Adams is a radio-staple here (even more than elsewhere). He might be the most underrated guitarist in Canadian history! I've always liked his stuff and that he "plays for the song"... thanks for the lesson!

[@kellyjackson7889]

I plays fer the moneh!

[@chrissterrmusic]

Just throwing it out... Keith’s solo on “Everything I Do” is IMO one of the most beautiful, tasteful, and complimentary guitar solos out there.

[@julianschulz1620]

NICE!!!! Love Keith's playing, always the right notes. PLEASE, do Neil Geraldo next!

[@GrumpyMJK]

Fantastic choice!

[@eddiejr540]

Hell yea...i would love to see a vid on Geraldo....awesome player and often overlooked!!!!

[@tonepoet]

Yes!! I support this. Love this guy's playing, huge influence. He played with so much intensity and fire.

[@davekinder69]

Thanks so much for this Dave. Bryan Adams & Keith Scott provided the soundtrack for my teen years.

[@BrentJJ]

Hello from New Brunswick, Canada! Great choice, great player...thank you. Brian McLeod is another Canadian guitarist that is worthy of mention. ☮ David and thank you.

[@sotirios6882]

Dave one thing I have to say. Feel to me is everything. These type of melodic, bluesy, soulful licks are the ones that stand out the most n are the most memorable ones. Rock on Dave 👊 👍 🎸 😎

[@frankiedonofrio5438]

Great Video!!!!!.....always dug Keith Scott, a true hidden gem.

[@crisprtalk6963]

Love Keith's playing, especially in One Night Love Affair.

[@robertmitchell89]

I second the Kim Mitchell request. A Canadian treasure!

[@halcyon289]

Yes please ...Kim is something else.

[@phoneix24886]

The most underrated guitarist ever. Very few know about him. But those who do, know how good he is.

[@tonepoet]

I learned to play when Reckless came out wearing out the grooves on that one. Simple and effective stuff, fun guitar parts. The tones on that album are pretty much the cleanest and sweetest sustaining colors ever. Great work, Dave.

[@peakAV]

Thanks Dave! My all-time favorite guitarist who is a master of putting the song first with his playing is Mike Campbell. His hooks, phrasing, and lead work were as memorable as the songs and lyrics. I've always thought his relationship with Petty was similar to Steve Stevens working with Billy Idol, or Billy Duffy with Ian Asbury - all of these players were able to show creativity while supporting a lead singer/songwriter, as well as the songs themselves. A dissection of Mike's career and playing would be super-appreciated down the road.

[@eddiejr540]

If you’ve ever heard any live Petty...it’s incredible...Campbell kicks it up notches... I didn’t know he was that freakin good!!!!

[@Digmen1]

I saw Bryan Adams live a few years ago. And I was very impressed with Keith Scott. He is not only a good guitarist, he also has some good stage presence

[@randybrodzik8412]

I have always tried to learn whatever I can from every guitar player I have experienced in my life and I have learned so much more from you sir so I just wanted to say thank you so much for your wisdom and opinions they meant so much to me.

[@LateNightLessons]

Thank you so much Randy! Reading this comment made me feel good! Take care, stay tuned, and have a great day! Thanks!

[@f.u.d.fighter8363]

Awesome video! That album was HUGE! I love the fact that you get it... it's about honesty, feeling, and DIGGIN' IN!!!! Thanks bro! Love your channel

[@ollid.5590]

Great lesson indeed! And I think somehow important, too, because you remind us that shredding is only one side of the coin and that we should keep an eye on phrasing, digging in and so on. I love Keith and Bryan since the „Into the Fire“ album!

[@RipVDub]

Agree with you Dave...Keith has a great sound on the early BA albums and always had chops that didn't overpower the song. Always appreciated!

[@LM-lv1hh]

What makes cuts like a knife so great popular is that it's perfect and dominant. ;)

[@mpm5150eruption]

I feel like Keith is the most underrated guitarist. He always played in the pocket. His outtro solo in 'Don't drop that bomb on me' is the textbook definition of technical perfection.

[@DexterDexter123]

Love his tone and phrasing.

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

12:30 _"Being attacked by bees"_ is the best description I ever heard of why not to overplay.

[@MyGuitartime]

tasteful choice of notes and very melodic. Plays for the song!

[@jackfrost2216]

Keith Scott is amazing.

[@image30p]

Great lesson! Phrasing is so important. At 6:03 I've heard Clapton use that lick too. This is really great stuff. I guess I didn't realize how good Keith Scott is. His playing is so integrated into the songs that I never realized.

[@JWCFB]

It's good to see Keith Scott getting recognized. He excelled at the lost art of staying in tempo with the song.

[@vincemesaboogie6572]

Always wondered who he was and yes he totally does justice to the songs / moments 🔥🔥🔥

[@mikkis668]

Really nice licks. Thanks.

[@markkizer3254]

Nice !!!!!! Bust out some Johnny winter 😀😀

[@chriscampbell9191]

Nice to see a Canadian great get some guitar props. Would love to see you highlight some of Kurt Winter's playing. He was the lead guitarist for the Guess Who 1970-1974. 'All Hashed Out' would probably be the best overall introduction to his style and feel for those who haven't gotten into his playing. But he's on a ton of Guess Who tracks from that era. Another Canadian great that a lot of guitar players really don't appreciate, even though we've all heard him on the radio from time to time. Garnet T-shirts rule. Peace.

[@808Monkseal]

I love Keith's tone and phrasing. So tasty.

[@kevinking2468]

Thanks, I picked up a couple moves that I can add to my playing - I totally dig you and your content!

[@jerkerjansson386]

Great lesson as always! That bonus lick was really cool!

[@Alfgunnarp]

Keith is fantastic!

[@golf4ubacknine768]

Great stuff 👍🎸

[@rockinchippy]

Great lesson 🤘🏻

[@andyracksthecams]

Words of wisdom to be had here.

[@mitchmeister]

Thought you were gonna play some licks and solos from ‘Reckless’ so underrated... Outro solo from ‘Heaven’ is sublime

[@tammyaikman1990]

Would love to see a close up on those picks hanging on your wall !!

[@gthrockstar]

Fantastic lesson! Can we get a Bryan Adams chordplay?

[@alexZZGuitar6447]

That would be great and interesting

[@Boombergtastic]

I love Keith Scott's playing. Thanks for those riffs. I really liked your delay setting. Very subtle but there! Could you share those settings please?

[@jamessator5564]

Awesome lesson again !! Gary Richrath, PLEASE!! 🙏🏼👌👍🏼

[@adamwarlock5286]

Yeah good one.

[@halcyon289]

Everything you said about Keith, I have thought the same about him for decades. A great guitarist . Eddie Van Halen rates him. Say no more :)

[@hakankillberg6043]

Great video, thanks. Can you do some John Norum please

[@Foulfootwear]

Never change, amigo. Or at least make it so I dont notice!

[@waynegram8907]

I'm so disappointed I thought late night lessons was going to put on a Robin Hood Costume and play everything I do, I do it for you. That guitar solo changed your life I bet having those sweet juicy notes hitting you deep inside that only Keith Scotts 335 red guitar can do, no one else has got that trademark tone on that guitar solo.

[@ryancampbell5246]

Love lick 3! Please do Phil Collen

[@vulcanguru]

I'd love to see a video on Mattias Eklundh. He's super unique sounding.

[@budlaing3117]

Yes Bryan Adams and his band know...sometimes less is more. They know

[@cuongitaxa2590]

Can you tell what the guitar tone effect you set for these solo, please? ❤

[@BOER1717]

Awesome lesson! You should do Adrian Smith from Iron Maiden :D

[@HenryMittnacht]

One of the guys in the shadow of the "Star" but one of the most heard players, though!

[@ianjackson5128]

Native Son solo 👌

[@knightfall9394]

Into the fire has tons of great keith moments, victim of love, rebel, and home again have some of my favorite keith leads

[@blueyepaul]

Thank you, learn from your finger movement. Keith has exceptional tone that i try to emulate on single coils daily.

[@andreasnewitsch59]

Wish I could remember which songs these licks are from. I hate it when one song reminds me of another song but I can't quite remember the other song???

[@knightfall9394]

They arent from songs, their from an unaccompanied solo spot before the song im ready. I do know that variations on the descending 4ths lick appear in its only love and home again though

[@davidbelcher2805]

Always appreciate your videos. I don't usually make requests, but how about a Headpins or 3 Brian "Too Loud" MacLeod Licks?

[@fatback2]

That tone! Any idea what rig he was using in those clips?

[@tak178]

You know what...it's time for Kim Mitchell, brother. Go For a Soda Rock and Roll Duty Battlescar In the Stars Tonight All We Are

[@kellyjackson7889]

Might as well go for a Yoda!

[@michaeleaster1815]

Great choice... Rock and Roll Duty is one of my favourite guitar tones from that era

[@vox1003]

The party, In the world of Giants.....

[@skyflyerus4490]

Does anybody know what scales he prefers? :)

[@knightfall9394]

On bryans actual albums its minor & major pentatonic and ionian (major scale) and you’ll get some little arpeggio stuff too. There are even a few solos where he does this little interval things in 4ths kind of like what dave shows in the 3rd lick, you can hear keith do that in its only love and home again

[@ignacioinder]

Niceeeee

[@ToddGillespie1977]

Chord Play - Kix

[@brandonlinhart6925]

Steel Panther chordplay would be interesting :) lol

[@lucienrobidoux3692]

I have to disagree for Neil Schon, this guy is absolutely polluting his songs with shredded phrases. He is everything but a down to heart guitar player. Saw him live and it was all about his guitar solos. Keith Scott is the absolute opposite with a "less is more" super effective approach. Steve Lukather is something in between I would say, but man, that guy is a highly-skilled guitar player and he always fits this fast lick at the right time. Keep producing this videos - That was great! I love the discussions.

[@jamesfitzsimmons381]

Could you please tell me the amp. ? And pedal you’re using on the video thanks

[@steveb.1967]

Was he touring with Bryan Adams in the mid-80's? Can't find the answer. I think I saw him live w/ BA thinking to myself "shit. man. that guy can really play." Then Neal Schon came on with Journey and blew all the guitar players off the stage that day.

[@robbieduffy9998]

Canadas best secret indeed...but how about Steve shelski from Coney hatch..??? I dare you.....

[@kellyjackson7889]

You know if you see an ENT doctor they can help you stop talking through your nose (not being funny)
