Anyone can learn patterns, yes this is true, but this guy has a really nice feel in my opinion. I always find it funny when people say blues is simple. You should post an appropriate response of yourself playing if you are making that comment. Great playing.
Great job man! I like how you put the blues and minor scales together(even though the blues scale is kind of minor anyway) It sounds great, I love the sound
Hi shellbblue, I havent ever heard Joe Bonamassa, this was just a jam over a backing track i've had kicking around for years. Thanks alot for wathching my vid, and i will be sure to check out some JB soon.
really nice playing... i love watching vids where people are natural... playing with feeling... rather than shredding to show off just coz its on the web... by the way what backing track did you use? is it available anywhere?
man thats great...you shouldnt hide behind the distortion though...if you put it in clean...its just alot more soulful in my opinion...but man this is great keep it goin
Thanks for watching Ryan. I dont use alot of overdrive at all really, the problem is that it was just done with a video cameras crappy mic so there is some distortion in the overall sound quality. Cheers :)
great phrasing, kinda reminds me of david gilmour when he plays the blues, very good phrasing. And as we all know, phrasing is the KEY to great guitar playing.
Cheers motokev, the backing track was a blues in the style of pink floyd type thing. I didnt really consciously try to reference gilmour in my playing, just try to play like me, but i have listened to my fair share of pink floyd over the years, and gilmours guitar style is ace :)
Normally I have no time for people who put clips like this on youtube, butI have to say, having watched a couple of yours, that you have something special about your playing. Do you play in a band? You should do - I'm a drummer and I could happily work with a guitarist like that.
nice work! You might like some of my videos, please check em out, when you get the time.
