Add 10 Years Of Feel In Your Solos In 10 Minutes - Guitar Lesson - Blues Rock Soloing Tutorial

[@SweetSourMiss]

Yay! Papa is back!!

[@BrettPapa]

Wooohoooo! Thanks for coming back to check it out!

[@123sambrose]

Couldn't agree more with everything you said. Speed is fun and a nice skill to have, but in no way trumps feel. Some of the fastest guitar players I've ever heard do nothing to move me emotionally. I respect their skill and technique but have no desire to listen to it. Nice to have a good mix of both. Like Slash maybe.. He has a bit of speed to his game but his feel is out of this world...

[@NoDontBugMe]

+Sam A Jimmy Page and Clapton are pretty good mixes of both

[@jackregz]

Marty Friedman.

[@montysvest]

Gary Moore

[@jackregz]

joshua great choice! How could I forget?

[@guitarplayer2846]

Great comment, Sam. Slow soloing with a lot of emotion beats shredding any day. Using short segments of quick notes to compliment the slow notes works much better than the other way around. . .

[@kjek1]

Love this lesson. Too many people focus on speed and neglect this stuff. The subtleties in vibrato and quarter bends that really bring solos to life

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@rayross997]

Brett's back and ready to Rock, thanks brother for the awesome lessons and great playing! Never watch one of your vids without learning some terrific stuff.

[@donalso]

Kind of reminds me of the adage "teach a man (person) to fish" blah blah blah.Teach someone how to express through a medium such as guitar, well that just providesall the motivation required to further develop the motor skills.As I recall, my first kiss gave me inspiration! More on developing expression.Thank you so much!

[@izmar]

Papa is BACK! Finally! Thank you sir.

[@nursetom61]

+izmar We can only hope, The Stache is one of my FAVORITES. The only thing that could put him at the top (he's tied with a couple) Is if he did a lesson on Villanova Junction by Jimi Hendrix (Woodstock Version).......... Hint, Hint, Wink, Wink....... LOL

[@BrettPapa]

+izmar Thanks for watching!

[@stretch9980]

YEEEEEEEAAAAAAA! WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME BACK PAPA! Looking forward to more awesome vids. Much Love!

[@BrettPapa]

+Stretch More on the way :) Thanks for watching!

[@DarkShadow-fj5ex]

Great to have you back!

[@BrettPapa]

+Dark Shadow Great to be back! Thanks for watching!

[@adgwytc]

Gotta say, love your lessons. Not only are they super cool but make me laugh, brighten up my day. Keep rocking dude, it's really cool.

[@BrettPapa]

Wow awesome! Thanks for tuning in!

[@ananyachakravorty]

Spot on..every single word he said.

[@dylansdad987]

Another awesome video Brett. I probably learn more from watching your videos than any from other teachers on KZbin.

[@BrettPapa]

+Steve Ridley That's awesome! Thanks so much for tuning in!

[@jamesgaddis1734]

Nice. I'm at an intermediate level and this video really helped me out with my led Zeppelin soloing and others too. thanks! Also this is my first time being first :)

[@teeerex05]

Love it, make the guitar breathe. Thanks Brett!

[@yonoxo]

great to hear and see you again papastache, even in europe!

[@Conlar2k12]

I really like this video. Everything is well demonstrated and the teacher is just great! Feel does just come naturally but this is gonna really help me. Cheers!

[@DislexicSloth]

Welcome back man! You're my favorite!

[@BrettPapa]

+DyslexicSloth Wow thanks! Means a lot to me! Thanks for watching!

[@markamerica2580]

Yeeeaahh welcome welcome welcome back Papa!! You're the best! Taught me everything I know so far! Looking forward to more awesomeness from THE man!

[@leekingcombe7028]

Great to see ya back kickin stache

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks!

[@northof50now]

Couldn't agree more about the 'feel' over speed. Grew up listening to John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola and couldn't get over their technical proficiency. But, it was David Gilmour that really gave the guitar a voice for me. Best guitar feel song though...Santana's Europa.

[@sachabaptista]

Nice video! That's exactly what I'm teaching my students.

[@andrewboaz9824]

You're the man, papastache

[@bulltastik]

Papa...GLAD TO SEE YOU, again! Awesome lesson!!! Love your style , charisma & sense of humor...keep the lessons coming;)

[@BrettPapa]

New one will be up tomorrow! Thanks for checking in!

[@nothousebroke]

@ 4:54 sounding like skynard there were master of feel so this is right on track thanks for the video love the break down. Pappa you rock

[@BrettPapa]

+nothousebroke Thanks for watching!

[@dewiroebuck]

Love that you're back, you always taught me something new :)

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for coming back to check it out!

[@Jeep4xe]

Welcome Back. Great tips, Brett. I also have to remind myself that volume changes within a solo or chord progression can have a huge influence on emotion.

[@BaronVonRichtofen]

Good stuff man. Thanks for taking the time to provide these tutorials. I really appreciate you. Rock on.

[@BrettPapa]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@bertclark5046]

First of all, very happy to have your dynamic personality back in cyberspace. You must have gotten lost in a worm hole somewhere in the Cosmos??? However, I am aware you have been assisting your partner in crime (Tim Pierce) create some new projects. But be that as it may, welcome back! You were missed! Am anxious to see what new fantastic tutorials you have to offer us. Sincerely, Bert Clark

[@ChrisHolden]

Yay. Papastache is back!

[@HighWeirdness]

Papa awesome! Ty so much for the lesson!!!

[@BrettPapa]

[@gotohellaaron]

[@andrewjoseph2279]

Reminds me of Tim Pierce! 😃Awesome playing Papastache✌

[@BrettPapa]

+Andrew Joseph He is a huge influence on me. Thanks for checking it out!

[@HardwiredMusicMaker]

Great lesson man - love your approach. Even if playing a while, sometimes it's really good to get a reminder.

[@BrettPapa]

Thank you! Thanks for checking the vids out!

[@jonlewis63]

great to have you back ! Very Tim Pierce sounding , which is what we all strive for . Is that the beginning of a new Stache i see?

[@guitarpolish7]

Thanks--I will use this!

[@BrettPapa]

Sweet!

[@bennyguitarcarr]

Great lesson and great words

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks!

[@Cmiller85]

wicked video Papa!! Learnt a lot. More about the sequences you were playing. I dont know what im playing but copying people like you and it sounds great!!

[@BrettPapa]

Haha that's all I do too! Sooner or later you got your own thing. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelm9851]

Love this dude. Awesome.

[@BrettPapa]

+Michael M Love you too! Thanks for watching!

[@bky65]

Wow! Loved this! Greetings from Norway :-)

[@BrettPapa]

Sweet! Glad you liked it :)

[@ryand2468]

Papa soul patch

[@juceorbe]

Great lesson!

[@timmccarthy6291]

Great video. I guess I am aware of each of these techniques but seeing them all put into one smooth run like that is eye opening. I need to practice a LOT more. Thanks Papa...and more videos of this style if possible

[@BrettPapa]

+Tim McCarthy We all need to practice! Working on stuff like this for me is where it is at. I found that it was what I was really looking for in my playing. I got a long way to go. More on the way! Thanks for watching!

[@bustedflatpickr]

Nice looking axe btw! Clicked on the link simply seeing the thumbnail then enjoyed your vid :)

[@rgb205]

As usual..you rock brotha !!

[@BrettPapa]

+Richard Boyer Thanks for checking it out!

[@Dorian_sapiens]

I also learned another way to play with more feeling from this channel and teacher: *grow* a _Mustache_. But it must be a glorious one! When you *have* a _Mustache_ of this kind, you may play through it, and it through you. You will discover that the _Mustache_ is a wellspring for a deep and inexhaustible aquifer of soulful expression. With time and familiarity, instances of drawing from the well will become more frequent, easier to attain, longer in duration, and deeper in feeling. When you *become* the _Mustache_, you no longer need the mustache.

[@StephenRawding]

Just found your channel on accident, WOWZA man... love it!!! Subbed the channel & I look forward to future videos.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Glad to have you!

[@briancole3818]

Hey Papa! Been watching you for a while now but not in a little while. How can you be Papa-Stache without the Stache? When did it go? Are you bringing it back? Anyway, love your videos and have learned a hell of a lot watching them. Thanks for all your great tips. Keep up the great work!

[@durdicamac9662]

This is very good!!!!!

[@jrkoosh]

Great stuff brother. Good to see you and hope you are doing well

[@BrettPapa]

Doing great man! Good to see ya face!

[@lovemesomepollo]

Dang Mr. Stache. Good stuff.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Glad you checked it out!

[@markwright9352]

That's so cool man!!

[@BrettPapa]

+Mark Wright glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@markwright9352]

+papastache102 love some Peter green pap!!😋

[@surfside16]

Nice lesson.

[@raypolakovic1290]

Great lesson, Brett! How about a double-stop lesson? I have a tendency to get pretty locked in on single-note riffs, and incorporate double-stops pretty haphazardly. Perhaps there's some secret sauce to using those more effectively?

[@autocrow]

That riff you were playing sounds similar too the intro too "That Smell" by Skynryd. Talk about lots of feel! Those bent pinch harmonics are awesome. Thanks for the lesson Brett!

[@BrettPapa]

+autocrow You are welcome! Thanks for watching! Great to hear from you again.

[@rickeverman8427]

+papastache102 Yeah - show us how to play That smell! I've requested it a few times over the years. It just rips and I know i'm playing it wrong!!

[@magnodamasceno8001]

VERY GOOD !!! THANK A LOT !! MAGNO

[@BrettPapa]

+Magno Damasceno Thanks for checking it out!

Nice have you back - now I miss Marty much less...:)

[@bigteno4597]

Missed you sir, welcome back bro!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for tuning back in. Missed you too :)

[@bigteno4597]

I love your vids and over the years I've learnt sooo much from you and your buddy Marty who is also making a comeback! Good luck for the future man, Dr Paul UK

[@mudwiser1391]

Welcome back Brother... so you might of answered this in another video.. what gauge of strings are you using and is you trem blocked?

[@BrettPapa]

+Mud Wiser Thanks! Feels great to be back. I use Elixir 9's. My term is not blocked but it is resting on the body.

[@jcoulter43]

Once again, VERY useful soloing tips to take all of us to the next level. Simple but extremely effective. I too have learned so much by watching and listening to your playing. Keep up the great work! (I was afraid that Indian Chief on your shirt was going to shoot you with his arrow if you didn't come through for us!) ;-)

[@BrettPapa]

+jcoulter43 That's a lady on that shirt and she means business haha! Thanks for watching!

[@stanlindert6332]

Make the ugly face he he. Great lesson. Learned this from Andy Aledort now I'm getting it from you. Love KZbin

[@hofftipus4132]

Just found your channel and watched some vids. Really good stuff, man! I'm about a year in on learning guitar, so stuff like this is very helpful.

[@BrettPapa]

+Hoff Tipus Sweet! I am glad it helped you out!

[@kylekoplien2924]

Eeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh welcome welcome welcome!!!! Haha good video

[@anthonybymallia7067]

i enjoyed this lesson awesome and yeah i love doin vibrato but i like to use the whammy too but they r different i use both whammy and fingers

[@MsDavo123]

I was watching this video and i was like "fuck i should follow him on insta and add on facebook"🤣Papa you are coolest teacher ever you post best content on improvisation thanks a lot!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks man! Glad ya like the vids!

[@KevinStreet510]

So true. When I first started playing a guy told me how important "feel" is/was. 25 years later, I am glad I absorbed that. I have always been able to connect with people with my playing because of it. Can't beat bending and vibrato. Very cool lesson, bro, nice job.

[@garethparry4823]

great tips. Cheers.

[@BrettPapa]

Cheers'

[@9418matthew]

great lesson, my vibrato is such a work in progress! are you and Marti gonna work together again?

[@director2bob]

Jeff Beck is perfect example of taste versus shredding. Blow-by-Blow, There and Back, Wired. Live with Jan Hammer, imho, some of the most melodic tasty guitar ever recorded with incredible vibrato.

[@BrettPapa]

All true! He is amazing!

[@Juaniguitarra86]

great stuff

[@Marius-vw9hp]

Best guitar lessons on the web :) i already bought two of your courses, thinking about getting the Jimmy Hendrix one now soon. Gonna buy the Hendrix tunes on Rocksmith and learn them first. Rocksmith + papastache is a great combo! Request: course on DADGAD, open D and Crossnote tuning :D im learning slide guitar but cant find any good lessons to buy. Would love your take on delta blues and open D tuning :)

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! I have been meaning to pick up the slide myself. Used to not like it much but it has really been growing on me the last few years.

[@ayasaab3511]

nice and smart vids!!!luv it!

[@BrettPapa]

+Aya Saab awesome man! Glad you liked it!

[@huntertaylor4501]

That tone though

[@muddycreek-b2]

Beautiful Tee Shirt!!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks!

[@jamieaxelrod9627]

Papa!!! Where you been? Welcome back!!!

[@BrettPapa]

+Jamie Axelrod Quite a long story for another time! It is so good to be back!

[@qwertyasdf7615]

Miss you man

[@dende2401]

Could you make a video with more faster ideas for alternative or a bit punk?!

[@Chilajuana]

Cool lesson bro! Cool shirt....

[@monkeysmollock]

Another great lesson 'stache as always, love the quick one note down slide. What do like doing best though, guitar stuff or American Pickers?

[@BrettPapa]

What's American pickers? Thanks for watching!

[@lxlKHARMAlxl]

5:02 But that mojo tho... awesomeness.

[@Cascademenace]

Good!

[@Katchatiger]

I knew the faces were important! Lol

[@zakwillis1601]

That guitar is astounding, what year is it?

[@BrettPapa]

It's about 10 years old. It's a Bill Nash guitar.

[@michaelhanrahanmoore1622]

couldnt agree more

[@jacksonkammerich6384]

Like number 1000

[@thomasrichmond601]

Try 40 lol , hi Brett , different look with the hairy face handle bars , thanks as always buddy!

[@nitrowizard1554]

what strings does he use ? i use roto yellows on my 1996 epi les paul and they are amazing

[@Rectitude4U]

This is one of your best videos. How do I buy something from you? You deserve to get paid.

[@Rectitude4U]

Went to papastache.com - bought the triple play. Two licks into the blues videos and I'm glad I bought it! I got blues dripping from my fingertips.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome man! Thanks so much! Hope you like it!

[@jim21jam]

Any relation to Tom Papa? Love your lessons, many thanks!!!

[@BrettPapa]

Not that I know of but there are not many of us out there. Thanks for watching!

[@garyeggleton1142]

you hit on the head technique 50 percent and feel 50 percent thats how the greats got there

[@odismesa516]

awsome

[@simonmellring1493]

John Mayer feel! Gravity performances...

[@t21mukherjee]

Loved the lesson! Are some of these really difficult to do on an acoustic guitar or I'm struggling because I'm just starting out?

[@BrettPapa]

Both haha! Acoustic is still hard for me to play!

[@DarkestOfTheDarkness]

It doesn't hurt that your rig also produces great tone, haha.

[@vaiisgod8]

Tone is in the fingers...the gear helps but is less important then you think

[@officialmetalwill]

You're a total idiot. If tone was in the fingers then there would be no need for different amps, guitars, or effects. Go play a Strat through a Twin, the play an LP through a cranked Marshall - won't sound the same at all. The technique will sound the same, the tone will not. Technique is in the fingers, tone is in your gear.

[@StudioBeast7575]

Papa no stach? Lol great lesson thanks!

[@BrettPapa]

It's back ;)

[@metal1mark73]

Stay Metal!

[@BrettPapa]

Always!

[@joaozubelli374]

hey man, welcome back! where did you get this pickguard? since the first time I saw it I fell for it haha

[@BrettPapa]

+jg z Thanks! It is good to be back. it is a regular start guard I just cut out the whole for the humbucker

[@joaozubelli374]

+papastache102 thanks dude!

[@jackgilchrist]

I've tried and tried to learn to use hand or arm vibrato instead of fingers, with no joy. But my finger vibrato sounds pretty good. The high e tends to slip off the fingerboard, but I've found that just sorta wiggling my finger on the high e (without moving the string) gives a mild but nice vibrato, probably because I use 8 gauge strings and the wiggling is changing pressure on the string. I still have trouble with vibrato on bends, though. Maybe it's my lack of strength. But hey, BB King didn't use vibrato on bends either (or rarely), yet his playing is some of the most sensitive and expressive of anyone. We have to work with our limitations. I'll keep trying, but if I never get it down, no big deal, I'll just work with it. I know many people are gonna think, "8 gauge strings? That is ridonkulous!" And recently I've been tuning a half step down, too, which makes the strings even bendier! But, first of all, I have chronic health issues, with have lots of pain, weakness and tiredness in my fingers and hands (whole body, actually), proneness to injury (even fractures due to osteoporosis... at 49 years old!) and super light strings make it much easier for me to get good bends, as well as needing less pressure to press down. With 10s I can't play for more than a few minutes, and full bends kill me. Even 9s are difficult, though with the Hendrix tuning I might be able to handle them. Secondly, I figured Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top has some of the best tone there is, and he uses 7s. So I don't think string gauge is super important for good tone. Personally, I don't notice the sound being particulary thin or anything. I'm sure if I listened to them side by side with 10s or 11s there would be some difference, though probably not huge, and I might not even like the sound of the heavier strings better. If I needed to I could always up the bottom end gauge a bit. They do challenge you to play with much more precision, as it is easy to accidentally bend a string out of tune, or press down too hard. So it takes a more delicate left hand touch (and you don't want to really hammer down with the right, either). But that has only improved the sensitivity of my playing, especially lead. I've always tended toward a lighter touch anyway, and now I feel like I have much more control, and so can be even more expressive. But until you get the hang of them, it's easier to screw up, too. It's a little like driving a high performance race car. The handling is more sensitve and you have finer control, but that also means you can wreck easier if your driving is not precision enough.

[@BrettPapa]

I used to use 8's myself and loved them. I actually played Billy's guitar once it was 8's tune down a whole step. Pretty crazy and made those bends a whole lot easier. There are a number of great players who use 8's and have wicked tone Billy, Uli Roth, and Yngwie to name a few. You know the old saying rock what you got.

[@GauravSharmaMusic]
