Is that a maton ea80c?

[crescentridge]

@askip3 Glad you liked this. I was afraid it was just random weirdness on E7, but I guess I was wrong....:-)

[911truthncDotOrg]

Howdy Adam, Great groove on the E7+9. Very hip. Maybe you remember meeting me. I attended the NGW in Milton in 1997.  Attended your "Beyond the Blues" class, I believe it was called. It was about thinking top down.

Anyway, you wrote out the chart for Angel Eyes for me so I could perform on the last day concert. Great to see your baby face again!

[rafybass11]

thanks ALOT !!!!! im a bar chord guy but i always noticed u were using open strings when a bar chord wuld suffice now i understand :) i see the beauty behind what once thought was madness.... its like a musical epiphany! after a few hours im re-learning songs using what you just told me....

[crescentridge]

@rafybass11 There ya go!

[trevorm1]

very nice. Thanks. I've got the perfect spot for this to go.

[ThinkingDog06]

Adam, sweet groove. Wonderful point about making sure the goove/feel/body-rhythm is as important as the notes and/or formal "timing." It's all about the groove. Continue to be inspired by you and your playing... thank you.

[Undercurrentuk1]

amazing player, one of the finest

[ribs389]

Hello Adam your body moving to the music is a major reason your grooves are smokin' love your playing.This is a good lesson in many ways,but still working on the first 8 bars of Superstiton (verse), your DVD came abt 2 weeks ago.Your performances are awesomeand lessons are clear and it's going to keep me busy for awhile.Gotta go practice

[poolph01]

YouTube needs to install a "Love it!" button....

[poolph01]

Heysup Adam... 1st, thank you,,,, the info was more than useful to me, it was inspirational. I couldn't finger pick if my life depended on it, but the video made me realize how STIFF I really am.... Thank You, I plan to enjoy my guitars even more now

[RedRobin2010]

[ScottTsai]

what happend to the cole clarks?

[gallito1010]

cool !!

[RustyCyler]

mini lessons rule !! thanks adam

[BrendanForward]

Hey Adam!

This a fantastic lesson and I have been trying to experiment with parts of the E7 Riff and have come up with a percussive alteration of the harmonic E note at the end of the riff. It involves using the middle finger of the fretting hand and just hitting the top string to sound the harmonic. It was a trick that I first was introduced to when I was trying to learn Ebon Coast though I don't believe Andy used it to sound harmonics in that song.

[crescentridge]

@BrendanForward There ya go - use this as a "jumping off" point for YOUR music! Bravo!!!!

[SergeMARC1]

Thanks for sharing some of your really intelligent technics ! You're a cool guy and a f... guitar player !

[hardbop7]

Thanks Adam. Your riffs are very lovely and idea is very brilliant alway.

Can you write one whole blues tab with this riffs and theme? It will be great!

[dieseba28]

[NateRevel]

Awesome lesson..

its has givin me a diffrent way of thinking when writing music on steelstring guitAR

i am very much looking forwards to follow up lessons, even more so if there is a focuss on Compositional aspects.

Thankyou very much..

Nate

[GuiTuber]

The idea of the open strings and using the harmonics, and even playing the Em7-9 up at the 12th fret, just opened up a whole new world of thinking for me. Thank you for that. -Rob

[crescentridge]

@GuiTuber Rob - cool. That's the idea. This stuff is secomnd nature for me, but I realized that it could open up creativity for others if I just verbalize what I am doing. Good luck!!!!

[TomEMaddox]

Very cool groove Adam. I like it.

[crescentridge]

@TomEMaddox There's the spanky bend you like in there too!

[bld68]

I will absolutely be looking forward to more lessons. That was great.

[156Arne]

[staffansvahn]

Hello!

Thank you, Adam.

Keeping the timing with your body is a very valuable information for me.

Best wishes

Staffan

[realjuvelive]
