Steve Morse - Tumeni Notes REH

[@pseudonymlifts2]

Everyone talks about his picking but the fuckin miracle is that he was able to do that AND play with such humility and musicality and taste and tone, AND write great memorable tunes incorporating all of the above without feeling wanky and off putting. That is HARD and hardly anyone has what it takes.

[@sansubr]

He sometimes plays 32nd note triplets at 90bpm and it is insane!

[@frankie.d1127]

My lord- alternate picking every note!! What a monster!

[@nickh1933]

Plus he is Flat picking, which is even harder.

[@wiggy009]

NickH what is that

[@SrdjanPavlovic11080]

@@wiggy009 he is not rotating his wrist (down or up slanting) - you can develope that style of picking (flat) after few years of practice (~10)

I saw Steve jamming with Albert Lee at the Music Man booth at Frankfurt Music Fair in the 90ies. They were RIPPING out in front of a bunch of nerdy musicians and I was one of them and I was in awe.

[@ReverendRicktaScale]

Steve is hands down one of the greatest guitarist/composer's to come out the rock era. He plays intelligent melodic music with great tone and technique. He is a guitar god.

[@ReverendRicktaScale]

Steve Howe.

[@ReverendRicktaScale]

It's splitting hairs really. Too much subjective. However facts alone would back SH. He was the first , and indeed influenced SM. He Had 3 different bands with top 20 hits written by him. SH has composed 2 must know finger-style pieces. Also, SH makes his living playing his own songs. SM is best known now with DP . They are both guitar gods!

[@liamerick7262]

@broomsterm danny gatton!

[@reidmcclure1438]

Indeed he is!

[@iphner43]

meh, he’s a talented virtuoso, but like all the prog snobs, he gets far too bogged down in the technicality of playing. there’s no feeling, character or emotion or finesse in any of these songs, it’s all pretentious, overwrought riff salad. yawn.

[@infectionsman]

that guitar has everything 4 pickups and an ATM machine. Its like the gun from Hollywood-cop....

[@vonmilash823]

I don't know where Steve got the audacity to even ASSUME that what he can do was even POSSIBLE before he started trying to do it. If I had never heard of Steve Morse or heard his music, and someone told me to play 1 nps across all the strings, using only alternate picking, and at the speed that Steve does, I would have said no, that's not humanly possible on the guitar, and I wouldn't have even bothered trying to do it. With all that said, it's still not humanly possible.. except for one guy named Steve Morse. Absolutely astonishing.

[@bleakcandour]

Yup, gambale does this thing all of the time aswell. Like his rendition of Got a Match by Chick Corea, alternate picking everything. Your pick tilting plays a big role in this, its definitely possible and beats sweeping by a mile! The percusiveness of the attack is unmatched. Sweeps have their use but I just don't like the sounf

[@evertonluiz1617]

Não é pra tanto 🤨

[@davidepannone6021]

It's a shame in later years he has gotten arthritis and could never really play this anymore. Im still thankful for all the great tunes tho!

[@emanuelapiccolo5773]

Considerato x anni il più grande chitarrista del mondo.Steve morse ha partecipato in America al più grande festival di chitarristi da tutto il mondo vincendo in onore del grande Hendrix la palma del migliore.così come il nostro tolo Marton di treviso già chitarrista delle orme.Dainese Aldo.

[@livingbeing1113]

Se non sbaglio Richard Benson vinse tutti i festival di chitarra in quegli anni, troppo veloce per tutti.

[@willssonline]

Thanks so much for posting this. Watching Steve go through the tune in slow-mo clarifies the conundrum of the proper fingering. I can figure out 90 percent of the notes, but seeing where the lay on the neck will save me a whole bunch time. Thanks to you, Steve, for help us mere mortals to improve our playing.

[@westrokker]

I've seen Morse 4 or 5 times , I don't know of anyone better. Just incredible. Aside from Amazing speed , Some of the songs he has created are beautiful. I.e., Vista Grande, Flat Baroque , runaway train, VHF...

[@johanrojassoderman5590]

I'm somewhat tilted now. I could only find VHF on Spotify, so not as many new additions to my playlist as I hoped for :l Thanks for the tips tho!

[@sansubr]

My favourites include Get it in writing and Heightened Awareness among the ones you mentioned above

[@rkatz0]

Well I can play the slow version, though the fingerings on the last part make me cry...oh well. I met Steve Morse when I was 16. He had one of the best characters of all the famous musicians we encountered. Made a large impression on me (private story).

[@UpDownStroke]

Not only the best guitarist, the best teacher for all guitarists that want to be excellents musicians with personal voice. If you want to play like him, concentrate in the way that you take the pick. If you are a shredder... this is the best opportunity to change your train of thought and cure the disease.

[@Chizeech88]

"This would be a good one to learn...or at least go through" lol glad he caught himself and realized no one short of Yngwie is learning this!

[@TheWilliamlong1]

Steve is great! Great tune!

[@klchu]

A true master. It's an amazing song slow or fast.

[@hendrix0is0lord]

thanks heaps for putting this up man! steve is a true master ofthe guitar and its great to learn straight from him!

[@MrOrnithopterman]

"It would be a good one to learn.....[realizes his guitar playing is way beyond human capacity]...or at least to go trough."

Hahaha

[@88omair]

Okay I think I've just about mastered it on air guitar

[@luigicannizzo2669]

morse is a metronome man .. kidding aside, I won't say anything new, but his very particular way of playing is based on time .. on the whole study / application and on the practice of a career path in music .. pretucci himself makes amends in his famous video method on discipline & practice .. great guitar players .. so good ... 🙂🙃😉 / 🎼🎵💙🎸💙🎸💙🎶 / 👍✌🏿👌🏻 👋🏽

[@daffodil0127]

Well, there it is: 3:15 of one of the coolest songs out there.

[@adrianovanhalen421]

This song is fucking difficult

[@Quilbo]

Where's the rest, the solo! Btw the alternate pick arpeggios are killer

[@metalmattm]

Proof that shredders can have good tone.

[@fgrtpodcast6572]

music man ftw!!!!!

[@TheFuzzyboy1976]

Slowed down sounds like classical flamenco finger picking style but Steve plays it faster with a pick ...so yeah...humanly impossible

[@astralmarmoset]

Nice pants bro 😎

[@alexkazhdan]

LOL, he holds the pick the same way as I do. :)

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

See? Just like that. Easy. 🤣😭

[@dominiknewfolder2196]

be aware. Steve is using different picking technique when playing slowly :)

[@guillotinedeath]

do tabs come if you buy the dvd?

[@madtiger111]

He calls them sixteenths, but they are counting them as eigths (in common meter).

[@FenderGibsonSounds]

whats the remote pad looking thing at the end of his guitar?

[@Tetasha]

It's the midi controller for the guitar synthesizer

[@Marck6034]

What is that device on the bottom of the guitar?

[@eddievhfan1984]

It looks to be some sort of hexaphonic pickup/guitar synth/MIDI interface. In other clips where you can get a closer look at the pickguard, you can see he's got a hex pickup installed next to the bridge. Based on how bulky the device is, and the extra buttons, it looks to be some sort of 3rd-party interface, rather than a Roland GK-2 you might find in this era.

[@KainzMusic]

Kinda reminds me of the solo from Malmsteen's "Demon Driver". Just a little. Don't kill me...

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

KainzMusic both have appropriated classical themes for inspiration, and those arpeggio sequences were tried and tested formulas even when Bach and Mozart were young!

[@donniecastleman5701]

I hear it too! I hope you're still alive! :)

[@JyriSalonen]

Music Man including NMT phone.

[@thestorageauctionking]

Yeah guitarists and musicians in general deliberately make the most complicated music that even they have a hard time playing. Playing with 'really good technique' just takes years and countless hours of practice and you will eventually get it down. I am nowhere perfect, even from lessons with Jose Angel Navarro. One of the best flamenco guitarists but I have improved tremendously. Good luck to you and your guitar playing =)

[@johnhuamani737]
