Major Solo Ideas

[freakstupid11]

my goodness you make me want an sg and a twin reverb now..

[malder83]

Those licks are money.

[singtotheking]

Oh, found the country rock groove I was asking for! lol

[Metalllians86]

wht scale is this?

[scrumpymanjack]

There were a few (perhaps only a few) passages in there that reminded me of Steve Hillage. Do you know why that would be, what sort of scales you were using and what scales he uses to get that sounds. Thanks in advance. You're ridiculously good.

[BATCH420]

You make me want a SG

[StraightUppJeff]

Was that all improv? Even if not great jam sesh :D I'm gonna go play now haha.

[MattLawton7]

I've watched some of your videos and you are really inspirational. I've been playing for about 4 years now and my improv sounds a bit like yours with the bluesy feel. but i'm having trouble breaking out of pentatonic and was wondering how i can achieve the creativity you display in this video. Truly incredible man. thanks

-Matt

[mattchurchill]

@MattLawton7 Thanks a million man. I think I'll do a video to break down some of the licks in this vid, it's really simple stuff, but it's just muscle memory for me at this stage as I've been doing it for years. I'll show you what scales I add to the pentatonic to extend blues phrases. I'll upload something as soon as I have a bit of time. Thanks for your kind words, it inspires me to keep playing and using YT. M.

[YOURMOTHER43211]

you really got the feel for it man.........

[jacksonakd]

i wish i can do this but i do not come behind the impro shit

my respect

[mifski]

Matt... if ya get time you gotta break down some of these licks for us guys??? please please!

[mattchurchill]

I surely will!

[entertainment1995]

Pro xD

[Kaenanthebarbarian]

this is awesome man. pretty creative. wish i had a loop petty...

[gbluesrocker]

are you only playing the major scale? sounds great!

[RockGodAtlas]

I got into the major scales after learning Tesla solos- they use them (I think) in Hang Tough and Little Suzi. I like the attitude it brings and the feeling you get when you put the notes together. Major scales are very satisfying and very easy to learn I reccommend them to those thinking about an instrumental career.

Now about your solos lol I like them (it), they keep the same attitude and show sensetivity and skill at the same time. very nice!!!

[snollywanker]

Great licks and attitude ! I've viewed several of your posts .

Being an old slow dawg myself,

you inspire me to try harder, Glad I came across your channel.

[Cheese838]

I like it! *subscribe*

When did you start playin?

[david8287878787878]

first part sounds like wind cries mary by jimi hendrix

[axemanand]

Great tone and playing. The note choices are excellent, very Shawn Lane/Eric johnson in places, especially the scale runs. Superb

[hahayoudied123]

nice...... Id enjoy hearing this on the radio.

[blades404800]

[mattchurchill]

Must check it out, cheers.

[justin402055]

lol sorry if i came off mad its cewl

[justin402055]

amazing playing btw xD

[mattchurchill]

Cheers man.

[blades404800]

man the riff aint yours

i cant thing hus it is ah fuck

i shall post it when i find out

[mattchurchill]

It probably isn't. The idea in this vid was to demonstrate my approach to soloing over a 'generic' major chord progression. I was hoping that the focus would be on the 'solo ideas'. I'm sure this riff like many has been used thousands of times as it's really just a 3 chord trick. Cheers.

[justin402055]

dude read the tital its ideas for the Solo its just a chord progression

[janmurph]

jeas,.. this guy is so silky smooth.....can't stop watchin!......top of the tree indeed mate...

[Obsession225]

Nice. What major key you`re using?

[ayjayhearse93]

he is using E mixolydian..

the chord progression is: E, D, A

the D is the flat 7th which makes it mixolydian

[Addofreeze]

Sounds beautiful! I don't think it sounded sloppy at all.

[ChickenRapist]

Nice work mate! Great ideas on them solos..

You were a little lost at times.. You can work on tasteful phrases rather than one entire chunk.. =)

[peewee10]

I know some people are gonna call me lazy, but I really love that riff and it's super difficult for me to figure out, so can you send tabs? (the beginning riff)

[buhler32]

I accidentally did this on my bros account, so reply to this account (buhler32) if you've got those tabs, sorry to sound so greedy, but I love that riff xD

[mattchurchill]

I don't have tabs mate, it was just a bit of improv riffing! sorry.

[buhler32]

Dang, that's sucha pretty riff! xD

[rocklegend0407]

Also, that was great that it didn't sound repetative or you weren't just playing fast so we couldn't hear what was going on. It was all new and fun to liten too, thanks!

[rocklegend0407]

Wow! That was damn good! Where was it sloppy? It sounded great all 'round.

[DTGuitarX]

Awesome man. What's your ts808 settings?

[DTGuitarX]

Scratch that. Found them on another one of your videos! :)

[pingo775]

That song sounds exactly like one of zakk wyldes. I like yours though. Excellent work.

[bobblerbaz]

Great tone and phrasing, sounds like youv'e listened to Laurie Wisefield from Wishbone Ash? He's one of my favorite players.

[mydarkeningheart]

Gives me many ideas... mainly that I suck and need to play more often since I honestly couldn't play half the shit you just did lol.

Btw, I failed to hear the "sloppy" in it.

[glausterball]

its funny. to him dragging his fingers just a little bit on a super fast-super melodic run is "a little sloppy". sounds impeccable, but what ever you say.

[CukuSk8]

Good ;)
