This is my kind of content. All the Neil Young electric stuff!

[@gdwinn1]

YES! Continue those impov sessions. Thanx

[@paulcoleman3081]

This is great. Please do some more of these. There are other KZbinrs who do "in the mind of" type content about the way guitarists approach soloing, but not with your succinct and focussed teaching style and your communication skills. I've been watching your channel for a good while now and it feels like you're a mate showing me stuff, if you see what I mean. It's not easy to pull that off, so I take my hat off to you.

[@michaelchisholm4225]

Oh man love that you appreciate Neil’s ragged but beautiful guitar work. This is from my favourite album of his and I just couldn’t resist a jam to this song after watching.

[@JeromyBranch]

Forgot how much I love On the Beach. Beautiful playing. Thanks again. Love that Jazzmaster too. Fender+neck binding= oh yeah baby!

[@4fretfingers528]

Adrian, bulls eye! just what the doctor ordered during these crazy times. I love this piece and your approach to the interplay of chords, scales and arpeggios. Advancing and consolidating the level of play/understanding. Would like to see more of this. I personally love Young's work- Cortes, Revolution etc..Keep up the great work.

[@elmalo551]

My favorite KZbin guitar personality discussing my favorite guitarist.

[@peterditchfield5935]

Just found this absolutely amazing lesson, which has really given me a lot of insight into tasteful soloing. This is one of my favourite albums too; I bought it on vinyl when it came out, unfortunately long gone. I’ll be trying to source the backing track and look forward to a productive day of playing. Thank you so much for this type of lesson; it’s much appreciated.

[@bobdenmore]

Great choice. Definitely Neil’s best album. The way I hear it on the record he alternates between an Am7 and Am9 in the verse. And the transition to the Cmaj7 to Fmaj7 is just gorgeous. Neil’s original solo is a master class in simplicity and less is more.

[@sadiemae8919]

This is brilliant! Just what I've been looking for. A tsunami of thanks for your Rowland S Howard lessons too.

[@Hoodrio]

I knew you had good taste, but On the Beach came out of nowhere - and you're right, what a great and hugely under-appreciated album it is. Nice work here - thanks!!

[@koho]

This is just perfect. I've been learning pentatonics and arpeggios, starting to play over the changes, and this helps take it beyond academics and practicing to making music! Great choice of song, too, rich and slow and spacious enough to work within and not feel rushed. Please make this a series!

[@Taffer9876]

I start up guitar lessons again tomorrow. Been a long time. I thought I was the only one who relished the beauty of the On The Beach record. Awesome. I love Motion Pictures, Ambulance and Revolution Blues. Saw him do Revolution once. CM7 is my favorite chord. You are awesome!

[@thecaveofthedead]

This is perfect, mate. Looking forward to more of them.

[@el0blaino]

Adrian, very lucky to have found your channel and this video! Wonderful explanation of different approaches to soloing, presented in a logical progression from beginner (where I'm at) to within reach and beyond. All of them sounding good! Really appreciated this, thank you.

[@sjoerdzegers4347]

Adrian, thnx for starting this series. You're explaining a lot in a way, which makes sense to me.

[@GaryBook]

I like the idea because each guitarist has their own style and approach to soloing. In addition, it gives us approaches and ideas to different solo styles. You always know when it is Eric Clapton, or Jerry Garcia, or Carlos Santana by their style. Interesting idea. I like it.

[@meeno_the_man]

Love this approach. Let’s see more of these, please.

[@boomerdell]

Absolutely brilliant, Adrian.

[@rickchappus5837]

What you have done with this Neil Young track is amazing Adrian including all the added tab and notes within the Patreon section.....very valuable. Thank you so much! I want to encourage you to continue these kinds of expanded views and breaking down of the music. Very enjoyable.

[@matttheknife3652]

I love this concept - more videos like this please :)

[@patrickdelombre5075]

Adrian, Thanks for inspiring and pushing us to develop our skills. 🙏

[@dancatt4920]

Fantastic as ever Adrian... just was I was looking for

[@blueraker1]

110% yes on more tutorials like this one ... thank you for being so considerate of us!

[@joerye6271]

Thanks for breaking it down slowly. It had a little something for folks at most levels.

[@greysun5160]

Sublime playing. Such a great great album. Never have the lyrics "I need a crowd of people, but I can't face them day to day" been so relevant and poignant. Excellent video

[@elmalo551]

Neil Young is my absolute favorite.

[@mattbockbrader2140]

What a great idea! I'm sure I'm not alone when it comes to figuring out what to play when taking a solo. You could really show off a lot of styles with this series.

[@Lancebins1]

Adrian, just want to add my thanks for these lessons and song breakdowns. They're right up there with the best on KZbin, a fantastic resource. The hard work is much appreciated.

[@ryanboshell6124]

Hi Adrian! Thanks for this mate. Keep on rocking in The not-so-free World.

[@harrylucas463]

Thank you so much for this lesson Adrian, you always pick such amazing songs, you’re by far my favorite guitar teacher on KZbin.

[@dc43tokyo]

Adrian, all your lessons are great so just keep doing what you think is best. Thank you for all your time and effort to teach guitar.

[@rodney4266]

So cool please continue this new series I learn so much from you. Thanks

[@tktrips9]

Thank You! Great job and really appreciate your going over gear and effects to help understand tone!

[@wooddog3000]

This video is great, love to see more like this. I like the amount of information, or should I say the different levels of information. So the viewer can choose how in-depth they want to take it.

[@mediumdun18]

New to your patreon ......this is a brilliant format and hope you continue to do many more . Have already added so much to my playing from your wonderful instruction content and style . Thank you so many much

[@iantaylor827]

Yes please. This would be a great help. Your teaching and playing are brilliant.

[@herbertsattler98]

This tune is so inspiring and you lesson helps me so much -pleas go on with this kind of lessons. Thank you so much!

[@tezfestival4009]

Great exploration of Neil Young’s style. Also my favourite Neil Young album as well :)))

[@haorongbamtom2913]

Awesome solo !!!!!! Fell in love

[@richholmes6281]

Great lesson! I think this will serve as a roadmap for my guitar learning! Great tones as well!! Thank you!!

[@stellajayne]

I'd love to see more of this stuff Adrian - really like the way you offer some stuff that even those of us who are relatively clueless when it comes to soloing can have a crack at.

[@RJKennedy3000]

This is really great-nicely done and very well presented.

[@alanmcgowan8767]

Great new idea Aidrian. I'll deffo be using that backing track. Love it 😆

[@looking4crossroads135]

Great lesson. I appreciate the backing track and ideas.

[@briankeller2048]

Awesome. Thanks. Gear guide was really helpful too. Please keep the channel going.......

[@Michael-yy8od]

Wow! Thank you for all the quality instruction and backing track!

[@frederickthompson8686]

Brilliant. Provides a range of thoughtful insights into soloing approaches -- from basic to relatively complicated. The challenge will be to find interesting artists' "backing tracks," but I have every confidence you'll succeed! Thanks.

[@finnstraintime]

You have great taste in the songs you use and teach. Really appreciate it.

[@theafricanz]

This lesson is the best! Pleasekeep doing em

[@4stevio]

Fantastic, On The Beach my favourite Neil Young album, and I love them all.

[@SunV0lt]

Wow ... This is great, I love these practical guides, for people like myself who always struggle to make my scales / arpeggios more "musical" this is really helpful. The tone discussion at the end is always greatly appreciated... (Now I have to get my Jazzmaster and Helix set up properly!)

[@MrCharlieC23]

Awesome lesson. Awesome playing. Thanks!

[@CarolinaLandshark]

Hi Adrian, love the idea!! Hope it becomes a regular series. :-)

[@bojackzzman2749]

Great idea Adrian and thank you!! Beautiful!!!!

[@Urbansoul02]

Great idea, big help in soloing strategy. Thumbs up.

[@54lespaul77]

Great job. Love this type of content! Thanks.

[@Scablander]

I like this format.

[@adrianmoore8329]

Really like this - a big help and interesting. Thanks Adrian!

[@theelderskatesman4417]

happens to be my favourite song from my favourite album of all time (Ambulance Blues off the same album is also utterly beautiful)

[@63timfred]

Man'o'man that Jazzmaster is wailing!

[@4stevio]

Awesome, my all time favourite album too. Got to spend a bit of time with this, thank you.

[@roelvanderhoek8051]

Thanx Adrian, very much appreciated! Helps me really to learn play over the changes. And very tasteful to play this minor 7 progression. All the best from Holland

[@nickroth7446]

Adrian you are awesome! Thanks for the great video!

[@dorsetpete9771]

Great idea....keep ‘em coming!

[@CC-qb9sm]

Neil is one of my favorites too. Good stuff this one.

[@johnsimmons6136]

Yes, I think this is very useful. Great idea!

[@AndersWeijnitz]

Great content! Much appreciated! Go for more! 😊

[@jacobsfuntime7358]

Great idea , great lesson, great teacher. Well done and thank you Adrian 👍

[@donvape336]

This is a great series.

[@cgavin1]

Brilliant stuff!

[@DeanJacobs]

Keep em coming!

[@bobm515]

This is very good and should be continued!

[@rjcarr66]

Love it, more of these please!

[@hoot9736]

Dude!!! Really Nice !!!! Great playing and a Great Tune !!! Thank You!!!!

[@thomasrolseth9932]

Great concept, great video. Thank you for this and all the other great stuff you do. Am a big Neil Young fan so this was a nice surprise. I was able to incorporate some of the arpeggio stuff you presented in your Nice Lick 12 video in the chorus. Combining that with verses using minor pentatonic fills/runs sounds really nice.

[@Bangsey1]

Just when you think somethings clicked, it clicks again. A great comprehensive lesson Adrian, loved the theory too...........as always. :)

[@davem2206]

Really great lesson, thanks!

[@javelin1835]

Yeah like this idea. Really hits the elements of guitar playing that I need to break through.

[@thekingofelfland3294]

Perfect timing.. Crawled up out my guitar cave last night after experimenting with my new Fuzz pedal and pedalboard trying exactly this soloing. Naturally I was all over the place and bereft of structure and ideas. I had the great Fuzz OD sound but couldn't do much with it. This is a great help. Thanks!!!.. brilliant album On the Beach btw... Enjoying a lot of Crazy Horse atm aswell,👍

[@aaronjh]

Fantastic idea

[@evanharnett]

I dig this concept

[@charleskelly5362]

Rhythm and lead us . Brilliant

[@theyearoftherat]

That fuzz you kicked in sounded amazing.

[@Guitarmadme]

Many thanks for another fantastic lesson. Thank you. My Man. Please more vids like this please 🎸🇬🇧👍

[@rickd1201]

Awesome touch-and-feel Adrian that's what it's about. But of course you have to go through a lot to get to this point awesome

[@daviddelisio4443]

Adrian, love this! What great practice and your instruction is so clear! Please keep doing this wonderful teaching concept! Dave Boise, Idaho

[@ST-xg3gy]

Love this! And a great idea to boot! Thank you!

[@andychase7693]

Brilliant lesson, Adrian! By all means, continue with this sort of lesson! You did a great job of bringing relevant and useful music theory into the lesson in a way that was relatively painless for those of us who are primarily self taught, and somewhat lacking in that regard. The chord theory content was especially useful for me. Perhaps you could do a lesson on incorporating jazz chord substitutions into rock, blues, and/or country song structures? Thanks!

[@aarondrew4861]

Great series!

[@KarlSaxell]

Beautiful !

[@kenford9942]

Adrian, Brilliant! More of these please in a variety of keys. Thanks mate!!!

[@yudipitre5720]

Beautiful loved it . ❤️ would love to be able to do this. Thank you Awesome playing.

[@nelsonw2096]

This is great! Please do more on improvisation!

[@blaineharrison9158]

Great idea and a fabulous lesson... thank you so much..... Great Stuff.....

[@grrrahg]

Great idea!

[@adrianodaguiar5186]

Love it! This song got me to Neil Young a long time ago… Anyway, great approach, great tut. Thanks!

[@SyntagmaStation]

Love the idea. Very cool. One suggestion that would be helpful for me: call it out in real time what/where you are playing based on the chord changes. I THINK I know why you are doing what you’re doing, when you do it, but not always sure.

[@PlouplePoupi]

I’ve just found your channel and I subscribed !!! You’re a very good teacher, it helps me so much, thank u👍🏼🍒

[@h2er80]

Great idea thanks!!
