Level 2 requires tons more practice than level 3 in my opinion Stuart, something to bare in mind are modern players aptitude for minimalist parts in general a lot of these styles generally fall to the wayside unfortunately but you’d be surprised how many people can’t play a stab chord on one beat with some variable staccato in time with a backing track, Love what your doing where’s the bloody pink one!

Thanks for the tips! I just ordered your book from Amazon and am a your new subscriber as well!

[@StuartRyanMusic]

Belated thank you and I hope you are enjoying the book! Best wishes, Stuart

@@StuartRyanMusic I received it 2 eeks ago I beleive, and now working on the 12 Essential Techniques in chapter 1, which in all reality I can make as my warm up routine. I just also last night started to read Chapter 2 on the different guitar sounds of modern country.....I know it will be challenging but rewarding! I really like the layout of the book! In fact I may start another channel only dedicated to my learning modern country music. Cheers!

Wow..listen man…these soul tutorials are absolutely incredible, I mean it - FLAWLESS..and a perfect presentation.. But listen…I just got me a jazzmaster and I have the VMod pickups and it sounds a little different.. I HAVE TO know what you’re workin with, I’m begging you, how are you getting that sparkle? What are those pickups I need details, what’s your amp setup, your EQ etc?! I’m begging you, this is incredible you gotta let me in on the secret

[@StuartRyanMusic]

Hi Josh, thanks for watching - great to hear these lessons are helping! I've got a couple of different recording chains but if I remember correctly this one was a Fender Custom Shop Jazzmaster (Custom Shop handwound JM pickups) into a Vox handwired AC15 and then into a Suhr Reactive Load IR with a Greenback speaker sim (either that or a Celestion Blue). I may have added a bit of top end via an API 550a eq but I seem to remember the Vox being bright enough to not need anything. The guitar was in the normal channel of the AC15 which doesn't have an EQ, just a tone cut which I think was left open. Hope that helps!

[@joshtomlinson8169]

Thanks man!!! Yeah I really dig it, it’s given me so much inspiration, probably more than any of the music I’m listening to at the moment! Yeah I got that J Mascis jazz off of Facebook marketplace and the guy installed V Mod pickups in it and they sound pretty good actually but they get so much hate online..seems just to be a beefier jazz sound to me, but there’s tons of bass when you plug it in direct so I use a Roland GP 16 rack para EQ and cut some of the bass but it doesn’t “sparkle” as nice without some tweaking, you get yours to sparkle effortlessly, would you say those are the custom shop pickups? Any aftermarket ones that would get close or should I stick to the V Mods and EQ?

[@caniwim12]

Great lesson, anyone else having troubles with the Tab and Track link? Bitly keeps telling me its blocked?

[@StuartRyanMusic]

Thanks Steve - the bitly link is blocked for some reason, I've updated it now

[@soofitnsexy]

whoaaa where is your burgundy mist!! hi from nyc Stuart! what guitar is that?? a vintage?

[@StuartRyanMusic]

Hi Chris, this is another Fender Custom Shop, I traded the Burgundy one as I preferred the spec and feel of this one - they are both very close but I like the worn neck on the heavy relics. My wife and I were supposed to visit NYC in May but sadly we’ve discovered our dog is seriously ill so we are spending what time he has left with him instead of travelling. I’ll get back there one day!
