Brush With The Blues - Solo Performance - Learn To Play Jeff Beck Guitar Lessons

[chooseyourblues]

Mike it the best teacher on Lick Library by a mile. His Paul Kossoff and LUke DVDs are like watching the men themselves.

[gitarbest]

How can a human play like that!?!?!?!??

[ekpil]

Wow! I wonder what his gear set up is.

[vexamatic]

Nice playing man. I wish I could use my fingers, but my nails are always flaking away. No polish helps. It's the plectrum for me!

[bocha17]

omg



[russbrinn]

wowwwwwwwww.

[gandalph915]

wow that was brilliant

[grenadeo]

wow just incredible.

[SoCalculated69]

oh my sweet lord.

[MrKarol04]

I've got this dvd and have to say that Michael is amazing guitar player!

BTW. Does anybody know where can I get this backing track? There are a lot of backing tracks of Brush with the blues but this is a longer version and it would be great to have it ;)

[licklibrary]

@MrKarol04 hi there - yeh will send you the links to the backing tracks used on this dvd check you inbox in 5 mins. All the best!

[Gibsonnroses]

is that a eric clapton signature stratocaster?

[ERArocker]

that purple finish is sweet. do want! Just starting to get into Jeff Beck myself.

[1ocd]

@superguitarnewbee. It's a very rare guitar...... I think they call it a fender stratocaster!!

[SuperGuitarNewbie]

What guitar is he using?

[theaceofspadesjl]

how does he keep the damn strat in tune???

[1ocd]

@themusicdude. From what I have seen, Michael uses emgs a lot .... but this purple strat looks like a very early issue Jeff beck, so it will have gold lace sensors. Noiseless pups were introduced in the late 90s.

[TheMusicDude1997]

what kind of pickups does Mike use ? single coils with some kind of Cover on them or what ? ( i know that the JB signature has Hot noisless Single coils ) but does mike have some kind of COVER on them ??? THANK U

[TheMusicDude1997]

Could you ask Michael what pedals, amps etc he used on this DVD ? Thank You in advance ! YOU ROCK

[QSQCaito]

Amazing performance!!!

[kylekylelewis]

Never heard of this guy before but he is amazing.

[eqilibrium]

WOW!! Amazing performance!!!!!

[1ocd]

MC has to be one of the best guitar players in the UK at the moment!

[Mrguitarbeginner101]

@1ocd since seeing mike play I have him in my top 5 uk guitarist. JB being no 1 of course. Alex Hutchins is another great guitarist

[odgeUK]

Definitely the best Lick Library Tutor by a country mile.

[nomania]

I'M BUYING THIS DVD SOOOOOON!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT LEANING THIS. IT'S MY FAVOURITE JEFF BECK TUNE AND MICHAEL CAPTURED THAT TONE ALMOST PERFECTLY. BECK FAN FOREVER!!

[licklibrary]

@mrskin55 Michael is working on his album . Should be released early 2011.

[mrskint55]

It doesnt get any better than this this is terrific what a great player !!!!!

[DarthBond11]

hum.. I wonder how that would sound in a fretless guitar.

...*jizz*

[victorchitic]

Michael Casswell is my favorite LL contributor. I love his lessons. Especially the ones on tone and gear and pedals. He's a fantastic player and a fantastic teacher. And what makes his teaching great is that it gives you the feeling of an older brother showing you the tricks of the trade rather than a teacher. Love Danny Gill too ! Lick Library Rocks

[TurquoiseArmies]

wow..he plays beck better than the man himself!

[licklibrary]

@TurquoiseArmies thanks alot dude!! When Michaels in next we will show him the comment! How are you getting on with the DVD?

[Natefunk49]

@TurquoiseArmies this is 9months later but yeah mike's a beast!!, i have his Lukather quick licks dvd and he's off the chain!

[gibsonlp1102]

@TurquoiseArmies dont say that.

[kathmandoo]

@TurquoiseArmies Idiot

[funkyevil]

Amazing.....

[nellgit]

amazin!

[carlolf]

Starting at 0:44, how is this tone done? I always wondered and couldn't get it myself. Anyone to explain it?

[TiEsQue]

@carlolf An open string harmonic with some whammy bar wiggling. You'll need some sustain- an overdriven amp, overdrive pedal and/or compressor will help.

[ace571970]

Great lesson it's about time we start learning Jeff's ...It's a dream to play his song's Caswell did a great job..How to see more of jeff's lesson's....

[lhenzom]

you got the feel bro. well done, i was nodding my head throughout the solo

[licklibrary]

So you are saying Michael C shouldn't have played it this well because it takes too long for most guitarists to reach this standard............even tho, it is the performance part of the dvd, and even tho it is illustrating Jeff Becks style, and even tho most guitar players would appreciate the skill and effort involved here! That makes perfect sense. We will tell Mike not to show off so much in the future... what was he thinking!!!!!

[680540]

ok,i like it a lot.But this is more showing off than teaching.And yes i know this is the performance of the DVD,but let's face it,it's gonna take you 15 years to play like this.DVDs will be gone by then.

[chelsealion1]

im not this good (obv) however like anyone i want to progress to eventually this level some day...

iv just completed the quick licks Jimi Hendrix disk and found it wonderfully challenging...

what would be a good nxt dvd step to take?

[RickInRock84]

AWESOME !!!! INCREDIBLE !!!

Very very Beckish !!!

A Fender Strat Ultra, isn't it ?!

[777josu]

@RickInRock84 No, It is the first signature model that Fender did for Jeff. It is now discontinued and replaced by the S-S-S one!

[ans79915]

good

[Kennymurraycampbell]

Absolutely amazing tone.

[mezcdai88]

exelenteee!!!1

[ShadowOfDeth1]

[vladcd02]

[mike8storm]

[rikyrlf]

tht guitar is GORGEOUS

[RobLewMusic]

Really really good. Love it!

[fmradioguy101]

Caswell is a god! He's really captured that Jeff Beck tone and feel here -- utterly stunning!

[vladcd02]

[GreySugizo]

[buffalowings89]
