Excellent tones! Thank you! Helps to view guitar in a different light

[@LateNightLessons]

Thanks David ! I’m really loving all of your lessons. Please keep up the great work ! Any chance you could break down some more Jake E Lee stuff from the badlands era ? Great stuff ! How about some of Ian Thornley’s stuff with Big Wreck ? That’s guys a beast ! Cheers

[@LateNightLessons]

Thank you so much and I'll see what I can do! : )

Awesome as usual David! Randy is right up my alley! Hearing that beginning howl of feedback on Crazy Train (when he turns up his volume knob) back in 1981 is what finally pushed me to ask my parents for an electric guitar for Christmas! I already had an acoustic but man that howl and distortion left me wanting more!

Randy was the MAN. Thanks for sharing that story - the spark that started the fire. : ) Rock on Joe!

As always, another great lesson! What always amazes me is how you can tackle a very complex subject in 10-11 minutes. Your lessons are very well organized, and useful! The "Yngwie's highway"? Do you coined that? The diminished sound in metal or rock music it's always associated with minor (dark) tonalities, but in other genres like gypsy jazz, you can hear the "Django's Highway" in major keys. The harmony function of the diminished sound as dominant in a ii-V-I progression. Thanks for posting your talent and knowledge 👍

Thank you so much and that's totally true. Rock/metal guitarists use diminished sounds in music much differently than a jazz/fusion musician. It's interesting to hear how one area of music is used in one style, only to notice it being used differently in another style. : ) Thanks for watching!

@@LateNightLessons Years ago I decided I needed to learn what I was playing by ear and I started studying basic theory on my own using websites and magazines like Guitar Player and Guitar World. It has been years since I sat down and wrote out scales and arpeggios using notation/tab paper and part 1 of this lesson inspired me to do that again. Thank you for the inspiration. I really love all the ideas that the "shred" guitarists use but my ears are more tuned to Neil Young and David Gilmour. If it's played too fast I don't really hear the melody anymore but I worked out a descending diminished arpeggio based on the last lesson that I think sounds really cool played at a slow-medium tempo. Anyway, I'm going to keep watching your videos. Thanks.

Requesting a look at John Norum and Kee Marcello!

[@LateNightLessons]

I'll add them to the list! Thanks! : )

At around 7min, the box shape, is how Eerie Inhabitants is played??

[@redrumkiller213]

More diminished and wholetone and how to mix them with dominants

[@LateNightLessons]

I'll add that to the list and thanks for the request! : )
