[@AndyDacoulis]

Hi everyone - I have plenty more Licks Lessons in this Playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLrfVWdKYFEluLUVhkjHa8X1lVA-ZFaCtz

[@SalsaBailaProductions]

Let me just give a proper shout out to the main man here... I took a couple of lessons with Andy... and his patience and explanation style is top notch... Before I met him I learned by ear but now he helped me a lot to understand what the heck I was doing on guitar. Enough said, I highly recommend lessons with him!!!!

[@AndyDacoulis]

Thank you for the awesome comment!

[@jasonjensen7818]

@@AndyDacoulis hey Andy Jason here again. What would you recommend the best electric guitars for this style of music? Thanks again!

[@AndyDacoulis]

@@jasonjensen7818 Hello - I suppose any hollow or semi-hollow guitar would be best. Ideally with humbucking pickups for the warmest tone possible.

[@copenhagenjazzfunkcollecti2082]

[@wallyflint]

@@AndyDacoulis Hi again Andy! I've been struggling trying to re-learn my right hand technique. I'm trying to decide whether to anchor or float. Can I ask what your advice would be on this issue?

[@wallyflint]

Also do you do Patreon?

[@AndyDacoulis]

@@wallyflint I do a mix of both - my lower palm/wrist rests on the bridge most of the time. What do you do?

[@AndyDacoulis]

@@wallyflint No Patreon as of yet. Only online lessons with PDFs handed out after the lesson.

Glad that you enjoyed it!

[@samuelemahtolo]

Great, great, great. I always loved this kind of playing. It's great learning from you. Thank you very much !

[@willmurphy8650]

I'm more of a Bebop player and I thought it was kind of funny how your Altered licks felt more comfortable in my hands than some of your more slidy pentatonic licks. I really liked the beginning of lick #3 where you move up a minor 6th then descend a bit of the Gmajor scale into that double slide. Super cool-sounding stuff. Also, I feel like smooth jazz is fundamentally built for the guitar, since a lot of the licks work quite easily on the guitar, whereas bebop is a bit more awkward since it was invented by sax and horn players.

[@AndyDacoulis]

That's a good point - a lot of the Smooth stuff is pentatonic-based and therefore comfy on the guitar. Thanks for your insight

[@thatsthegig]

got 'em, thx! :)
