Something You Got; Soul Blues & Motown soloing guitar lesson! Ideas to elevate your improvisation!

[@timwallace1912]

There are a lot of great lessons out there in the form of YT videos, books, sites like True Fire et al, but one of the best I've ever seen are Alex Farran's collection of lessons, each one teeming with great ideas and thorough explanations. Alex takes the time to break down each segment of his lessons into understandable chunks. It isn't just copying a bunch of licks, he goes into detail on HOW to use the ideas he presents. The materials - PDFs, GP files, and backing tracks are first rate. Simply one of the best teachers out there, well worth the Patreon fee.

[@sukienukie551]

Absolutely spot on. Nobody is creating the calibre of guitar lessons and materials like Alex Farran. These lessons and all he provides on Patreon are just priceless… ❤

[@AlexFarranGuitar]

Thank you so much Tim, your comments really mean a lot to me. So glad to hear that you're enjoying the Patreon page so much my friend! 🙏🏻🧡

As one of the thousands upon thousands of bedroom guitar players everywhere I cannot thank you enough for all your great work. It is such a buzz for any guitar player when you learn something new and your site is a goldmine for that.

I congratulate you again Alex, your lessons are always satisfying, interesting and never predictable. Every time I discover something new. Since I started following your channel my playing is improving. I see and feel that you put passion in what you do. Grazie mille Alex....and sorry for my bad english :)

Your collaboration with Adam Levy was fantastic, as was the Jack Ruch solo. We are so lucky to have such great musicians on KZbin.

Thank you Peter, I appreciate that! 🙏🏻

Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed the lesson 🙏🏻

[@nelsonkerr1119]

So cool to get those Sunbear pickups in the mail w all the cool packaging. I got some vintage '63 style pick-ups from them and they sing quite nicely. Great lesson BTW...gotta learn this one! Cheers! 😎

[@AlexFarranGuitar]

He certainly knows how to present these beautiful sounding things in the right way doesn’t he?! Enjoy those pickups buddy!

It's the player, of course, but those pickups are winning. Thank you for the lesson, Alex.

That was excellent , it might be a stretch but I could imagine some of the George Barnes runs from Lover come back here on KZbin integrating nicely into this

[@davidbaker5988]

Lover come back to me

[@AlexFarranGuitar]

One of my favourite George Barnes recordings! I do plan on featuring it in lesson form sometime soon!

[@briandevitt6903]

My god the Tele sounds amazing.

[@AlexFarranGuitar]

Ah cheers mate! I appreciate that! Gotta say that the Sunbear “Farran Five” pickups are fantastic 👌🏻🔥

[@TheBurners-cn1sr]

Your videos are a goldmine for me. The theory is amazing and you make it sound so logical. It still makes my mind boggle though. And I love the tone on your tele. Do you have the volume control on your guitar quite low? I find my guitar ( or maybe my technique ) always sounds too aggressive and not a sweet. Anyway, keep it up. I’m already a better player by watching and studying your channel. Thanks

[@AlexFarranGuitar]

@@TheBurners-cn1sr thanks so much for the kind words mate, really glad you enjoy my channel! 🙏🏻 I do play around with the volume and tone controls constantly while I’m playing, but, in this case everything’s just all the way up 👍🏻

Anytime mate!

[@michaeldorrenbacher8977]

Again an amazing lesson. Alex thank you for improving my guitar playing that much! I am always blown away by your huge knowledge of chords, scale degrees aso. Do you have an advise how to learn that the best way?

[@AlexFarranGuitar]

Thank you Michael! 🙏🏻 My advice is to learn these things bit by bit.. song by song. Don’t obsess over racing to the finish line. Just enjoy piecing the information together over time. It is important to make sure it goes in deep though, not just surface level or it’ll soon be forgotten!
