I sit down with my buddy Kenny Smith to discuss advanced guitar soloing tricks over the changes for Wildwood Flower!

Kenny has been my guitar hero for years! The man has such taste. He builds up tension like no other and has that silky smooth touch! I recorded a instrumental the other day and just laughed because I've stole so many of his licks lmao 🤣

i am one of those jazz chord melody guys who love all music. 72+ and still practice and gig more than ever. your tone and lyricsm are beautiful. perhaps it is syntax, but i conceive the diminished not as a substitue for the V chord, but as an extension. it adds the b9 to the G7 to extend it to a G7b9 which is a 5 note chord, the last four of which form a diminshed. i love how you played the D7 to G7 over the G. I tend to see G7 as Dmi7 to G7 with the C-B leading tone but you create more movement by going to D7 first and the F# catches the ear. And that may have a more authentic bluegrass sound...authentic or not, it's still really cool. None of what is say is to be interpretated as a correction of any kind, just adding another perspective to the discussion.

What guitar is Kenny playing? His Suda 18? Is that a D18GE Ben? What year?

[@BanjoBen]

Yep, his is the Suda and my D18GE is an '09, I believe!
