this guy has some of the best phrasing I've seen. love his choice of notes. amazing. you can tell by his right hand he's a hardcore jazz player, just by the fact that he always keeps his middle and third finger together, which is a standard for most jazz players.
Best I can tell, he is only playin' 12 notes & their octaves.
Yeah, alright, occasionally there is a string of 1/32nd notes or 1/64th notes ...and sometimes I get blisters on my retina trying to watch his fingers, but the same thing happens when I look at the sun.
OK, true ...my prefrontal cortex short-circuited in bliss during the complex arpeggios, but ...same thing happens when I make love to beautiful women.
He's not a musician ...like Tupac or Biggie. Right?
What alex plays in perfect fourths tuning! great, I do too, that is cool, I might pick up some tabs... P4 is the way forward well done bluesjamtracks for going that route!
All Alex Hutchings downloadable packages include TAB in BOTH tunings. EADGBE (standard tuning) and EADGCF (Alex's tuning). We are pretty thorough at Jamtrackcentral and understand that most people would want to play in standard tuning.
@bluesjamtracks ...AND I LOVE PEFECT FOURTHS TUNING! So good move bluesjamtracks for being forward thinking and giving them to us with EADGFC tuning as well as standard - it is a great move! I wish all companies did it... I have been in perfect fourths for over two years now and it is great tuning.
Alex...You're incredible! Great balance between technical stuff and some tasty phrasing. I love to listen to You're playing...it is so musical. Greetings!
@godblessolbas a lot of it is just pentatonic with "passing notes" to spice it up, then there's the way he phrases (which is nothing short of unbelieveable) and lastly, but not least at all, he plays alot of "outside" licks, which is basically just playing notes that does not belong to the particular key or tonality you are in. there are some vids on the subject on the 'tube ;)
@godblessolbas He's probably just feeling it out most of the time, but if you want to be able to solo in this style check out the dorian, melodic minor and bebop scales, also chromatic passing notes are often added in jazzy styles
@godblessolbas lmao i garuntee he's not thinking in scales. he's going off the chord progression. goes with learning theory and studying the fretboard the extensively. alot of it also just chromatic runs and lots of passing and color tones.
@godblessolbas he's beyond scales... it's not ass kissing joke.. he plays modes and arpeggios over every chord, you'll learn how to do so with any basic jazz improvisation instruction.... to play like alex well... you can't by that much talent :D
Love it; great technique combined with feel and invention. In my book, if you hear something that causes an involuntary smile, that's usually a good sign!
What a fucken shame that the highest rated comments are wise cracks from bedroom wankers. Jealousy is a cheap ugly trait that guys who cant play worth a dam flaunt on Youtube. Fuck you computer geeks...
Im just from NYC and that was a reflex reaction spur of the moment after seeing all the youtube obnoxiousness because Alex is such a great talent and all anybody can do is call him potato head etc.. :)
@awesomejohnnet Well, it seems my comment has been removed for some reason. If people make you angry in the future probably best to direct your anger at them. Take care man
wow...first govan and now this dude...where are they coming from???...aggghhh!!!...note to self...time to practice balls off.....amazing feel and chops...
Awesome playing but there is ALOT of pick noise between notes. Not sure if its just the mic placement, amp or the speakers on my computer. Really great playing though!!
this guy is great but he has the worst case of guitar-face syndrome I have EVER seen...maybe he and vai could have a face off and a guitar off at the same time? that would actually be quite entertaining
this man has amazing skills with the guitar. better than a LOT of other pros. his feeling and technique can be seen from miles away. congrats and keep it up!
i dont like when people use something to dampen the strings unless theyre doing 8 finger tapping or something. its like cheating. just train yourself to mute properly!
@ShredFever92 Following that logic it's also cheating to use a tuner instead of ears. IMO there's no cheating in music, because it's the end result that counts.
@snackajack117 Yeah, Jack Black minus 50-60 lbs. This dude is only 150 lbs soaking wet maybe 160 lbs tops. Jack Black is way too fat. Jack Black probably tips the scales at 210 lbs and only 5'6" tall.
Legend. I met him today @ a masterclass...He actually makes you wanna quit your instrument he's so good... and i play piano mainly haha. Plus also...how the hell do you faviroute a video with this new layout?????
Fantastic player!! Reminds me a lot of Andy Timmons. Tasty phrasing and doesn't overplay. Also, plays with the eyes closed a lot like Andy. Thanks for the post.

@godblessolbas Often things will sound more complex with the backing tracks being more complex.
