"The River is Rising" solo by Slash

[@DutchVai]

The playing is stellar..... but a freeze frame at the 0:28 mark is sheer delight 👀❤

[@RayC234]

Yes, that Les Paul is absolutely stunning!

[@rodanone4895]

Manhattan midnight blue.... limited run guitar of the week... i think one of 400.... one of my favorite Les Paul models... bound stock, crown inlay! 🤘

[@NBLP7001]

The very beginning reminds me of the part Blackmore plays about 45-50 seconds into the solo for Highway Star.

[@manson9083]

Beautiful Les Paul, and great playing thanks for the half speed too.

[@Serega-Pitersky]

I like everything you do Fairy Queen. Good luck to you. 👍G🌎M

Mind blown ! Your timing at half speed is phenomenal . As always , thank you for sharing . :o)

[@GregPirker]

Must have found your groove at the 00:10 mark. Subtle smile as you moved along the fret board. Thanx for sharing!

[@nkolchenko]

That smile after solo. Have never been thinking that the stone cold girl from Zeparella - When The Levee Breaks have such a stunning smile! :-)

[@cerclesvicieux]

Well played. I really like the color of your Les Paul. Mine is a cherry sunburst with gold hardware, but I wouldn't mind having a blue one. :)

[@gretchenmenn]

Thank you! I have a cherry sunburst, too, but the blue is soooo nice.

[@MrKitty-zv3dl]

Love that blue and you're amazing.

[@gretchenmenn]

Thank you so much! 💙

[@erachiel]

A very appreciate synaesthetic lesson, mrs. Gretchen..! P.S. The queue t-shirt, apparently implies yet the result..!

[@davidsparks6146]

Well Gretchen, you played like a pro. My take on the solo's notation though is that it's not very musical. It has a structure built on positional key boxes, but no real melody. I prefer solos like Vito Brata's solo in the song "Wait" something that isn't just a flurry of notes in a key! Can't wait to meet you in July - hope to learn lots of Zep riffs and that jazz you do so well!

[@JC-yc7of]

Jesus, that was good .

[@zezezosezadafrak8210]

If music is conceived, designed, and played to move one's mind, heart, body, and soul, then I would have to say that Slash is one of the most underrated guitar players of all time. I get chills just THINKING about Double Talkin' Jive and Tijuana Jail. Same goes for Rocky George's How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today, Roy Z's Tears Of The Dragon, and of course, Alex Skolnick's Return To Serenity. 5 of the most remarkable works of art to have ever graced my life---and I'm a CLASSICAL music lover!!

[@thehouseofronin9209]

Excellent performance and wicked beast you're playing Gretchen! In one of the comments below, it mentions that you teach. Are you still teaching and if so, where can I find your lessons?

[@gretchenmenn]

Unfortunately I don’t have time for individual students, but I do monthly online shows/Q&A‘s with 2GTHR.co (amazing online platform with amazing artists on their roster). I also have a course available with JamPlay: bit.ly/gretchenjp1 And a book available: www.halleonard.com/product/324129/the-way-music-works 🤘🤓

To play electric guitar you need to know about power supply ,current . DI box , level of recording and monitoring . The electric side interest me , can you tell us something about this ?
