Pentatonic Adaptations | Live MasterClass with Andy Wood

[@JR-tp2gd]

It's like I've been stuck in a dreary room for years and years and Andy's just opened the door and said, "Hey, there's a world out here! - Come and see." Thank you! 🙏🏽

[@johnvansmirren8626]

Andy is the bridge we all been waiting for to get to that next level. Such an inspiration to get back into practice/playing like we did when we first started.

[@bobeverett2071]

Just want to say, I discovered Andy via surfing KZbin for anything guitar. I’m 62 yrs old and have hit more plateaus than I can count and have been on one for quite a while now. This video along with several additional videos by Andy totally crushed my plateau and opened the door to a whole arena accessible options that I couldn’t grasp from other videos. Great teacher!

[@Carlos_AyalaJr]

By far one of the best guitarist and most well-versed. So deeply inspired to play!!!

[@BertWald-wp9pz]

So good. I analyze my own playing looking for the rules behind what naturally comes out. These Andy Wood videos seem in sync with the ideas I am trying to explore and articulate. I have come to the idea that great players (alas not me!) build technique out of their musicality not the other way round. First comes the music then the technique and Andy has it. These videos are like hanging out with a player who will help you understand your own path not just copy theirs. Brilliant.😊

[@michaeledwards1097]

wow, thank you so much ANDY. you have really opened my eyes to looking at the fret board in a whole new light , you are incredible !!!!

[@jitsroller]

My God I'm applying this and improving immediately. This came at the right time. Thanks Andy!

[@triclone123]

To me, looking a my holes playing, this is the most productive class I ever seen. I watch a lot of YT videos, but this one is very valuable. Andy, you have a gift playing and teaching. Quite different, transparent, sincere. Thank you!

[@triclone123]

Theodore and David, I think I got it. You guys are keyboard players. Computer keyboard players. Good for you!

[@bigtsshackfestival9563]

Andy is so modest about being a world class bad ass and one of the most innovative music thinkers in the world. Makes me feel good I got his compressor pedal shipped to my house today. Suhr wood shop comp. really bad ass pedal. I had a fat general on my board that got kicked off for the wood shed. I never in a million thought I would be bumping that pedal off at anytime. Thanks Andy !!! Half the price too

[@patrickcasey357]

Andy’s the man.

[@russellharper2596]

What a great teacher! He even describes, to a tee, everything we go through to economise our playing using barres. I had to laugh and say yes, this really happens! :)

[@JonKaneshiroGuitar]

Man, every time he does something EJ style it makes me want to play. The tone is so spot on! And it’s crazy because he can get that through any one of his guitars. Andy, what’s the formula for that EJ lead sound? I’m going through a kemper😉

[@lafaverp]

Andy Wood! Where have you been all my life? I only learned about you because my buddy just bought a Suhr "Andy Wood" guitar. You have become from favorite player and teacher.

[@martymooney8099]

Just stumbled on this channel from the Billy Strings interview so I looked around and found this lesson i must say one of the best if not THE best lesson on how to navigate these type concepts he shared a wealth of knowledge on that one great content guys 🤘🤘✌️🖖

[@hearpalhere]

There is a wealth of information in this lesson and I'm only 11 minutes in. I'll definitely be back for repeated viewings, thank you for posting this! You've got a new subscriber too.

When I learned to play lead (1973 or so) there was no internet, no KZbin - just your ears. So with no real instruction, and just copying what I heard, I learned pentatonic scales (of course, I had no idea they were called that until many years later). But I always learned patterns that went up and down the neck - never a box shape in a certain position. Somehow I got it in my head that "the goal" was to always play notes 2 frets apart. The only way to do that is to keep shifting position up and down the neck at the same time as going from lower strings to higher strings. It was a few years later I started using the traditional box positions and doing note bending when I started trying to copy Johnny Winter. Another fun fact - I had no idea there were choices of string gauges for years. The guitar I bought had heavy strings with a wound g string. I was in utter awe of the way Johnny could bend notes. When I discovered light gauge strings it was like a whole new universe. Seems funny today, but back then everything you learned was by word of mouth (which slowed me down a lot cause I didn't know any other guitar players🙂)

THIS VIDEO IS GOLD KNOWLEDGE !!!

[@corpcoup]

Dude, you deserve way more likes. You have an awesome instructional approach and you do an exceptional job of explaining all you do, making it easy to understand how to apply it to our own playing.

[@Zekroft]

Man, I don't even know what to say. Just amazing from start to finish!

[@albandunford2809]

[@axeaddiction796]

Thank you Andy that was a cool lesson. Definately got some nuggets from this one

[@oneamongall8861]

I have got more out of this lesson than all the seminars and teachers I spent money on...and I can finally let go of the modes!

[@DavidRoxGuitars]

Omg your playing is insane!

[@kevinvezina6535]

Wow Andy great lesson...the right hand lock up or mess up is one of my big issues..and i am using mother natures capo on my rolling ..im going to pick them independantly and make my rolls more staccato like...butball your lessons here is right where I need to start at...

[@Mainstreet2006]

Great lesson Andy! Plenty of amazing stuff. That major pentatonic one string ish slide Trucks sounding stuff is so cool! After listening to you, I guess I will really start trying to think more in relation to intervals. ✌

[@mrsnakepit]

Damn those guitar soundsss..... Really bad ass suhr tele

[@TheBladepolisher]

Again, great video Andy. I was wondering why Takahash would suggest a chord suggestion like Ab. This may have moved the whole scope of the video out of the range for a large number of your viewing audience. I love your videos . . . . . I guess we must challenge ourselves to make the learning process real.

[@michaelbaldwin6543]

Monster picking on Red Bull

[@brockpeterson1497]

Considering joining. Looking at the cost. Is it worth it?

[@gtrslinger6262]

Great video. I thought I was an ok guitar player, now I think i should take up basket weaving instead.

[@jasoncrambone4898]

Andy is so cool. You know he wanted to say, why the fuck would you sat Ab for a lesson! I'll say it for you Andy!

[@dhynesok]

For intermediate players, the slower playing is instructive. Otherwise, it’s basically showing off and so fast as to not be useful as instruction. Obviously an incredible picker but intermediates would have a hard time learning from this.

[@denverrafferty9845]

A flat ,that guy seems like he was a smart ass asking for him to play in that key

[@kirkwickizerart1078]

Be hard pressed to find a more complete guitar player.

[@chrislestermusic]

Super nice guy too.

[@scottwaszak698]

Jesus. Andy, c'mon. Love the inspirational ideas, but your technique is so far ahead of most mortals that being able to actually play this stuff...😂🤪🙄.

[@pacojazztorius]

Delightful presentation! Andy knows The Way.
