Hi Andy, just want to say , I love the way teach without making it so confusing! Question do u count in your head when playing the phrase over each chord? I have a hard time hearing when the chord changes! Thanks 🙏

[@AndyDacoulis]

@@satchrules101Counting will definitely help when you are learning the tune or the chord progression. I don't count so much as I am used to feeling when 4 bars pass. I find it helps to just play the rhythm guitar part for a few minutes before attempting the licks. It'll help you internalize the time. Good luck!

Thanks for the lesson! This is great material, helping me connect the dots and get it all under my fingers and in my ears. Your efforts here are greatly appreciated. Big thanks from Wisconsin!

[@Jeff-cb7xt]

I so appreciate this lesson; the awesome lick from one of my guitar heros, the connection to the altered scale, the demo. You rock (in a jazzy way)!

[@6StringsTheory]

OK this is my new favorite channel on KZbin. I am going to go through every single one of your videos. This is actually real stuff you can use. Thank God. And thank you!

[@localpm]

Superb choice of notes, playing and sound 👌

[@alanbalkany1438]

Thanks for this! You make it look so easy. I'm a rock lead guitarist who's mystified by jazz. I'm studying the altered scale to try to understand jazz and your video will be very helpful.

[@johnpritchard9753]

Gorgeous playing, as always!

this is great playing, you've got lovely phrasing. And I love the way you conduct the lesson, most people before they play a note they talk and talk for hours. The way you do it is great, thanks Andy 👍

[@user-pp7pl4zz9b]

Amazing y'all

[@EDPGuitar]

A set of chords to simply apply and learn a great deal. They sound great too. Gently and patiently does it and in time other listeners likewise will be equally impressed. Thank you Andy.

[@EDPGuitar]

P.S. A great sounding tone to. This will be developed depending on style. Equipment, Amp settings etc. A lifetime of enjoyment.

[@morrischau]

Best teacher I have seen in a long long time🙏🏻don’t mind me “steal” some of the tasty ideas🙏🏻 superb video and teaching qualities, please keep on doing this

[@GUITARSGIZMOS]

This is so good. The chords you have chosen really opens up my eyes for making a melody that aims for the flat 9 and sharp 5 to create tension before moving over to the more melodic parts. Fab! Thanks 😊

[@nashvillecalling]

smiling all the time, so cool

[@vidami7414]

Sounds so good!

[@Peters518]

Just curious if you’re using the Helix for this or not. If so, what amp model are you using. Sounds great.

[@michaelcesnik8203]

Sounds amazing!! What amp or modeler are you using?

Thank you! I use the Line 6 Helix for my videos.

[@bobryan8793]

Andy thank you sir...for making me a better guitar player....this is the sound I love ...I play a bit of gypsy swing so just love Birelli..and like you im a big Carlton fan...thank you.

[@AndyDacoulis]

Happy to hear this!

[@bjarnesegaard5701]

Can you give away how you obtain that great tone?

[@AndyDacoulis]

Hi Bjarne - I use the Line 6 Helix for the tones in my videos. I usually use the Mesa Boogie Lonestar as the amp model. After that, the usual suspects - reverb, compression, and a stereo delay.

[@bjarnesegaard5701]

@@AndyDacoulis thanks Andy - you have a great tone
