How To Play Through Changes Like Steve Lukather

[@VertexEffectsInc]

Soooo good!

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks Rig Dr!

[@Scratch_Monsters_Golf]

One of the best explanations of this I’ve ever heard. Never realized that I was doing this but it’s almost exactly how I learn tunes. With so much access to step by step tutorials these days, I see younger players that can play the notes but have literally no ear for music. If they don’t have tabs or a video, they simply can’t learn a song. Great breakdown here on how to start developing that ear, Richard.

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks so much, John - I truly appreciate it!

[@jnh73]

Love that you're preaching patience and practice! Great video, Richard. Rippin' playing too!

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks Jack!

This is just fantastic content! Played a lifetime but was in a severe auto accident, breaking my back and neck leaving me with limited ability to control my hands and fingers and trying to claw my way back. I'm so glad I found your channel, which despite my physical limitations, is always personally inspiring to keep the mental parts working through analyzing and understanding this great music (guitar in particular). Many thanks for your well thought out and presented videos. Inspiring on so many levels, Richard!

[@RichardWatson]

Hey man! I'm so sorry to hear that, it sounds really rough. Massive kudos to you in continuing your journey of learning (I often think it's all the cerebral stuff that matters the most) and I'm really glad you're getting something positive out of my videos! All the best, Rich

[@bwm5150]

Really nice! Love the song and great analysis Richard!

[@RichardWatson]

Thank so much!

[@PatP1508]

Wow, Richard, this is awesome! I'd love to see a series on this topic from you - such a great idea - Thank you!!

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks man! Yeah, I think a little improv series could be a cool idea!

[@SessionGold]

A new Richard Watson video! This makes my day!!!🎉

[@RichardWatson]

Ah that's very kind of you, man- thank you!

[@kevinmusso2397]

Luke is a def fav!

[@ChrisMuellerMusic]

„Smart, 80ies Pop Music“ I never called it that way but, yes, absolutely! That’s the best way to describe it with as few words as possible. It is also my favorite genre of pop music :) Great video as always and thanks for sharing

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks so much, Chris!

[@DlmlZ]

The approach of the approach you approached was very well approached! Yeah, great to hear from you again! As always, love it! Thanks a lot for sharing! Cheers from a longtime follower, DimiZ

[@RichardWatson]

Haha! Thanks man! I truly appreciate it!

[@NoName-ql1wk]

Luke is my favourite guitarist - great lesson. Your channel is wonderful.

[@RichardWatson]

He's the best! Thank you!

[@timsmith7899]

You can't teach what Luke has, he is one of the most creative and spontaneuos guitarists off all time.i

[@jayboy6895]

Absolutely Killer Rich. As soon as I can sort my work patterns out I Will definitely join your patreon club. Great work maestro

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks brother!

[@isaacjohnson.]

This was a fantastic video and lesson! Really appreciate you sharing this. Very well explained, and although I have danced around bits and pieces of what you taught, your explanation really helped bring clarity for me and really connected some dots. Love it. Thank you! Will watch this again many times and implement these ideas into my practice.

[@RichardWatson]

That's great to hear, Isaac- thanks so much, man!

[@itsmyguitar]

Really excellent. There’s just no easy way, huh? Ha ha. Exactly what I was looking for. A way to teach myself what to do. As Steve says, have to get out of that box!

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks Troy! I'm glad you found this useful!

[@oigres33]

[@BOOREK100]

Hi Richard, great video as always, quick question, is there a video lesson available for CAGED as mentioned at the end and where can i find it ?(if not on KZbin), cheers!

[@RichardWatson]

Thank you! I have something in the works based on this- I shall keep you posted!

[@jopberlin]

Great Lesson thx👏👏👏👏

[@RichardWatson]

My pleasure!

[@WeareSouledOut]

what is the background music playing at beggining when you are talking? its chill! around 1:11 mark or so

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks man! Just one of old pedal demo compositions I use for background music!

[@bruunm1975]

This was great! I know all this in theory but once the lights are on it goes out the window. Hardest thing is to think what changes flow underneath when I’m playing. My ears tend to guide me. But cliffs are close and sometimes behind me as I went of them 😂Thank you from downunder.

[@RichardWatson]

Glad you found it helpful, man! Playing though changes is always a challenge, for sure!

[@bruunm1975]

@@RichardWatsonSpecially hard to change patterns and habits once you get comfortable with just having a blow over some standard changes... So everyday I now use iReal Pro to just add random two three chords and deliberately play over them. Or songs from gigs where I went to guessing land for some non diatonic stuff ;) Just got my EBMM Luke3 HSS... so good. No shortage of wanting to play that thing

[@davidolsen9425]

Hi. Who was the artist that recorded Blame it on the night? Thank you. Great work.

[@RichardWatson]

It was Finis Henderson. The album this track is from is called "Finis" from 1983 - ALL the session cats are on it; Landau, PJJ, Luke, Abe Laboriel, etc. Thanks David!

[@davidolsen9425]

@@RichardWatson just looked it up. Wow that was some album cover!

[@RichardWatson]

@@davidolsen9425 Isn't it just!

[@Bato1109]

Are these merged or studio profiles, or both?

[@RichardWatson]

These are studio profiles but V2 of the Kemper Pack will have merged/liquid/DI options too!
