KZbin amazes me and overwhelms me at the same time but if there was only one lesson on improvisation this would be the one I’d pick. You can apply this lesson to any song in any genre. There’s a lifetime worth of practicing, learning, and playing in this lesson.

This lesson made me play better instantly. The 3 and 6 steps apart notes is the hardest part I have to work on the most. This is minor so why does the major fifth chord work so well, I thought it has to be a minor chord?
@AlexFarranGuitar
@AlexFarranGuitar Күн бұрын
I’m so glad to hear that buddy! Often in minor keys, (as is the case here and much of jazz and blues), we’re talking harmonic minor which has the dominant V chord… it creates a stronger pull back to the tonic 👌🏻

Im going to study with you as much as possible, im using classic core fender bullets, and im tuned down a full whole step for maximum thickness, im using the extra heavy fender triangle picks and my finger tips, the string gauge is still 9s. Thank you for everything , im 59, take care.

Thanks Alex I really enjoyed that lesson. I have been aware of triads for a while now but it is so good to be shown what you can do with them. The adding the 2 somehow made it easier for me to sound a wee bit more melodic and I had moments where it actually sounded like I was actually making music as opposed to a guy just practising triads. Thanks again just this one video will be a practice routine for the foreseeable future Cheers

Do you know the album that Ry Cooder did with Cuban guitarist Manuel Galban? Its a brilliant record and what you are doing here reminds me of that.

Alex, if you can indulge me ... I gotta ask about that Novo. I'm pretty much sold on their guitars, and want to take the leap. But I'm wondering how you chose Miris vs. Serus? Definitely a different look with the binding, but I'm mostly interested in whether the semi-hollow makes a difference in timbre/warmth or anything else you might notice. Any quick thoughts appreciated!

It’s a lovely guitar for sure, and the semi hollow is the one that stood out to me as it’s got a bit of everything going on. I wanted a 330 type of guitar, and I wanted a jaguar… this is like both combined 😅 At some point I’d like to try one of their solid bodies with the tele bridge too.

Thank you Sir. Great stuff as always 🙂 Any recommendations for a first looper? The Boomerang seems to command a bit of a premium still - probably pushed up even further by your fans now! 😂 (although, looking at reviews, it does seem to be hard to beat for those who have tried it).

I got my first looper this summer after almost 30 years of playing. I got the TC Electronic Ditto + and I've found it to be perfect for a 40 year old looper novice! Highly recommend.

Hey buddy, there are so many great options out there nowadays and I’m kinda out of the loop (no pun intended), on which are the best. I think it’s hard to go wrong. I love the ease of use with the boomerang. It’s got no fancy features and it doesn’t have any internal memory, but I love that about it. TC Ditto and its various incarnations are a safe bet, as is the fancier Boss stuff or the EHX one.

Did my best to clip the practice loop (no looper pedal yet)... YT only allows 1/10th of a second, so not quite right. kzbin.infoUgkx2V8cble8XKi5a-uwHVsH7ZaC9vtXASKk

I'm using a Boomerang iii looper that I've had for 15 years, but honestly, anything will do! Most of my students just pick up the TC Ditto pedal for £80 and it serves such a great purpose!
