3 Ways to Use Chromatic in Your Rock Solos. WS Ep 86

[@joakimtangstad8281]

Fantastic lesson and teaching! Just the way it should be. Using intervals and note names for people who want to understand!

[@travisbowmanmusic]

We played a gig together in Colombia. Thanks for this lesson my friend! Gonna have to get my electric chops up now!

[@stevemc6694]

Great licks, tone and control. Damnnn

[@edwardjons8684]

That opening lick shouted Steve Lukather to me. Awesome playing!

[@marcfryer5043]

Andy's a stud. Hands down.

[@kevinslack4159]

Excellent lesson. I’m using the.KZbin app to slow the fast stuff down.

[@davewyns132]

Nice right hand technique !!!

[@chrislestermusic]

Andy, you’re not just a great player but you’re a great teacher as well. Thank you for the Ian Thornley/Steve Morse lesson. 😁

[@timemerson2691]

Most of what your saying is going over my head but it’s fun to watch. Ever notice how many great guitar players are named Steve.

[@TChou-zn4yd]

Dear sir Andy, please show us how and what excercise to do to get on the path of playing at fast speed. Thank you sir.🤘🤘

[@simondixon6761]

Phenomenal player! 🔥🔥🔥

[@jameskellam2980]

Dayum! I actually followed most of that. Thanks a heap.

[@Michael-lp9tt]

Thanks man

[@craigekwall7310]

I love your guitar picking😅😅

[@TheSammyreynolds]

Good stuff Andy

[@albandunford2809]

Great lesson. Please add yourself to the list of great players. You are absolutely up there with the greats

[@alexmbrenner]

This is one of your best lessons I think. Wow!

[@frankquinn1296]

This was a real eye opener.

[@leandrocavalcanti4394]

Amazing man congratulations and thank you

[@dougross2256]

[@johnatchiane4460]

Excelent ep!! Chromatism is the most useful tool for adding "pirotecnia (fireworks" to the guitar playing

[@donald-parker]

Interesting. You are more analytical about it than I am. I tend to just think about what my target note is and then rhythmically, how many notes do I need to get there. But I do like the way you repeat patterns in different octaves. As Adam Neely says, repetition legitimizes. But, as always ... trust your ears. If sounds good, it is good.

[@AJPMUSIC_OFFICIAL]

Love that John Petrucci stuff, super fast chromatic noodlage mixed in with tastey melodic playing. I'm guessing he got it off Steve given his love for Dreggs.

[@9ineToe]

Killer ideas, Andy, thanks for sharing!

[@MouldyGuitars]

Great lesson. I recently striggled with a solo Ian T played (Think it was Might Be The End) until I slowed it right down and realised he was doing an up and down 4 note cromatic run. Sounds great and turned out to be relatively easy :) Very useful technique and adds nice bit of spice

[@andrewbettis4247]

I'll be rewatching this video later with a guitar in my lap definitely. I love players that are great at using chromatics as glue to connect different licks together... also chromaticism is a great way to create tension as well in lead lines, so this was a great great lesson for sure...

[@jonnydubai]

This is epic. Just what I've been looking for. Thanks mate 🤘🤘

[@frederickb1805]

Hi Andy ! So cool to benefit from your teachings again :P Thank you.

[@odditeemusic6016]

I got that vibe initially from Jimmy Page..then Morse..brilliant lesson as usual! Now work on the Andy Wood Suhr amp plugin..with the Wampler pedal included..I don’t ask for much🤯

[@freefalling120]

Damn fine lesson! But ill never get your right hand picking ability, its freaking amazing!

[@hottamanful]

Musicianship as its finest..

[@williampimblott8373]

Legos.. ha! I think I'm still playing with duplo bro!!!

[@TheRealJanKafka]

Does anyone listen to Saki of Mary's Blood/Nemophila? Or any other of the current crop of Japanese shredders?

[@hansschepens]

I have to say: I always reference your song junktown for tasty use of chromatics to students, (and a masterclass in options on a single chord) I love that piece.

[@MarkLambertMusic]

The thing I've always enjoyed most about Guthrie Govan's playing is his liberal use of chromatics.

[@chadzumwalt7093]

Rookie question. So basically it seems like you can use all 12 notes as long as you are a badass and know where to resolve?

[@scottrubin84]

You absolutely can. But these are the most common in rock in general, and in my opinion sound the best as well. But in Bebop for example, you hear a lot of chromaticism from the minor seventh, to the major seventh, to the root

[@mjones6983]

I’ve been playing guitar professionally and teaching for 30 years and I must say. Kiss my ass, that’s not fair 😊

[@baronvongrimm4780]

I dont understand music theory because I dont find it to be fun. Turns your music into a set of laws. I play similar notes and licks not because of Gilbert, but because the fingers and the frets, the guitar play shapes and licks that fit and play to the ear. I have built off other players, but theres always this guitarist that does this or that... I've never heard of them but I play these licks. It's all just arrangements. People are stuck because they never trick to add the 5th in thier arrangement? If you play a note, and you follow it with a note that doesn't sound right, you do a different note. And if you come off that note, you got to land on a note that not off key. Not like people dont know how to play by ear, how would they know they hit a wrong note? If you can hum a tune, you can find the notes?

[@williampimblott8373]

Used to think the same thing. Refused the circle of fifths workbook when I was a kid. Pissed off my instructor. Don't think of it as laws.... Limiting what you can play. Think of it as "a language" I regret not learning it. 30 years later.

[@baronvongrimm4780]

@@williampimblott8373 I think there's just not a way to transcribe into a teaching how to play by ear. Music gives you feelings and playing by ear is a expression of a musical feeling that you hear in your head. They just chalk it up as either having a musical ear or not, which is a under valued generic response that shuts the door on the development of playing music by ear. They call it training your ear, or else they call it natural. Folks do play by ear, they just dont have good understanding of that, nor do they know how to structure that approach into a teachable system. For example, if you think your not playing by ear, then how are you capable of determining you've hit the wrong note? They actually do understand when they hit the wrong note, they can hear that. Allen Holdsworth for example takes musical theory to a new level..... but it's not pleasant to the ear. Musically he is a genius in the structure of music theory... the flaw is that it can be over diversified...this is a example what is inherently wrong with music theory...it becomes a language. Does there need to be 50 different languages or ways to say good morning? And can there be 50 new languages that carry the same? If you look at music theory as a language... then yeah there is a benefit to knowing the language. You can go anywhere in the world and play with any musicians using this language. But there's a flaw in this. Music is a feeling. You feel it in your mind and you expres it with your soul. You become one with your instrument and its instinct...this wont happen if your mind is consumed with music theory...imo

[@ryanwylie2944]

this right hand technique is inhuman. absolutely absurd. im throwing away my guitars.
