Psychedelic blues for chillout and letting go

I got completely lost playing the Les Paul along this amazing backing track by ‪@ElevatedJamTracks‬. Check out my new project: Six String Shooter sixstringshoot...
This is why I play guitar, to let go, stop thinking, being in the moment, taking a break.
Life is complicated and stressful, the guitar is simple and relaxing.

For my music theory nerd brothers, this jam is in the Dorian mode which is why it sounds kinda sad but kinda hopeful and uplifting at the same time. My favorite mode

[@paraselene7931]

Hey Adrian, amazing playing! Could you recommend me some resources for learning to play in a similar style? I'm especially interested in phrasing and maybe some lick examples to get me started.

[@tonecontrol]

Thank you very much! Recommendations - That's an interesting question. I'm currently studying music, primarily on a channel called "NewJazz", I would recommend going there to possibly expand your mind a little. If you compartmentalize what I'm playing here it's basically the pentatonic scale, the blues scale (pentatonic +1 note), and the Dorian scale (pentatonic +2 notes). Each scale has a particular flavor, I would recommend getting closer to the sound of those scales. Phrasing - it's basically blues phrasing. This is perhaps hard to learn by studying, I think knowing the sound of your scales, how to play them and when to play them is the first step, that's like learning how to talk, phrasing is the way you talk. I hope that makes sense!

[@paraselene7931]

[@ondasonora83]

Hola Adrian, qué buen sonido y qué chevere tu estilo, transmite mucho!! Te quería hacer una consulta, medio boba quizá. Yo toco guitarra hace mucho, pero, por diversas cuestiones, nunca me ocupé realmente de mejorar mi sonido, de equiparme digamos, como corresponde, lo cual es una inversión. Tengo una Epiphone Les Paul con los micrófonos de fábrica y te quería preguntar, ¿qué recomiendas más? Arrancar por cambiarle los micrófonos o comprar un amplificador más o menos decente. Sé que el ideal sería hacer ambos, pero, bueno, a veces no se puede. Cualquier data que me puedas brindar, me servirá de mucho. Abrazo!

[@tonecontrol]

Gracias por tus palabras Eduardo! Las LP Epi no están nada mal pero me gustaría saber que ampli tienes. Con lo que se - yo empezaría con un amplificador que mas o menos te de el tono que estás buscando. Si es algo britanico Marshall o Vox, si es algo Americano Fender o Mesa, no hay pierde con esas marcas. Para ayudarte mas, dime que ampli tienes y cual es tu presupuesto. Saludos!

[@ondasonora83]

​@@tonecontrol Hola Adrian! Soy muy fan de Frusciante, aunque también de todo lo que sea sonido blues rock. En realidad, tengo un ampli muy barato de una marca argentina desconocida (soy peruano, pero vivo en arg.). Nunca me preocupé realmente por equiparme en cuanto a amplis y después me acostumbré a tocar con el Guitar Rig y el Amplitube en la compu. Mi presupuesto sería de nivel medio. Busco algo como para tocar tranqui en el departamento donde vivo. ¿En Marshall hay algo que recomiendes? Gracias por la respuesta y espero que sigas subiendo videos, suenan de puta madre!

[@tonecontrol]

Gracias Eduardo! Te recomiendo el Marshall Origin5, en mi opinion es lo ideal para tocar en un depa marshall.com/marshall-amps/products/amps/origin/origin5

[@thegoldenkniet7802]

, I haven’t pulled the trigger on a new amp in a while, but that shut thing sounds real good, but I don’t have the money for two amps, so , I would have to sell the mini plexi, what’s ur thoughts?

[@tonecontrol]

Well, in this video you can only hear the Vox AC4HW, pretty cool uh? I'm dreaming about that mini plexi tho, I think you can get similar sounds from both, but the Plexi might have more "balls". I would keep the plexi 😊

[@thegoldenkniet7802]

Adrian Figallo well I see u sort of get this high volume bassy tone, but your not hitting the strings that hard cuz u got so much volume, an a bit of fuzzy overdrive, that tone right there is my dream tone, any tips on getting there?😀

[@tonecontrol]

Well, first of, let me tell you, the grass is always greener on the other side. I'm sure you can achieve similar results with that mini plexi. With that said, the approach for this tone is to set the amp on the edge of break up, meaning, if you hit a chord it should distort a little and sustain, if you hit it soft it will sound clean and rounded. You achieve that with a non master volume amp just but raising the volume, simple simple. The EQ is up to taste. Now here is the super important part, don't hit the strings so hard, you need enough volume/gain from the amp to break up with a softish touch, that's what creates the "rounded" tone, you can call that headroom. Then set the fuzz to taste using the same approach. The Park Fuzz sound has a very interesting mid range control which allows you to set it "dark" like in this track. 1:33 I'm hitting the strings "softly" - no fuzz - that's the "break up" 2:42 that's a very soft touch - no fuzz 3:40 Koko Boost on 4:08 More aggressive 4:40 Fuzz on - neck tone down 5:50 Tone up, aggressive playing - maybe a little too much, some notes are too flat Hope that helps!
