Pretty Cool lesson here, Covers the topic quite well. Ive just made a bunch of detailed courses for beginners and advanced guitarists that you might be interested in. Check it out! would love to know what you and anyone watching this video thinks. Its totally free, and i mean TOTALLY
I've been playing for somewhat around 5 years and you guys never fail to advance me further. You've helped me early on and even now still. Great videos, keep em' up! =]
Would it be possible to for you to make some 'jam trax' for people to practice their licks on.. preferably looped several times over? It would be an awsome addition to the licks you're teaching
Hi - thanks for the kind words - all six parts are on our youtube channel - rockongoodpeople - plus nake sure to click the link on the right to get the jam tracks
Um... its a mix, a good guitar and make a shitty amp sound good, and vice versa, and you could have a awesome guitar and an awesome amp and it can still sound crappy, some equipment no matter how good mixes good. its an art and a lifetime search there is no "Perfect guitar" "perfect amp" or "perfect amp/guitar combo"
This is an excellent series of "how to play guitar"...very informative and specific details in the close up view. Great job from those instructors. You guys rocks and Thanks!
BB king and chuck berry both used Gibsons and were big time founders of modern blues. But, Stevie Ray, Hendrix, clapton, etc etc uses Fender...Neither one owns blues. It depends on what tone you want. I prefer the Fender-type blues sound, but I play an Epiphone...
Finally someone makes sense. Strats and Les Pauls can both be great and both be dreadful, and they're certainly both capable of great blues tone. Of course Telecasters, ES-335s, Casinos, hell even my old Ibanez Roadstars can hang with the best of them blues-wise. The fact is that "blues" is far too broad a term to be dominated by any one guitar. No one's even mentioned an acoustic yet; robert Johnson never saw a Strat or a Les Paul. Bickering about which brand is better is lame as hell.
Buddy Guy plays a Strat, and is widely regarded as one of the best of all time, along with B.B King, John Lee Hooker, etc.
SRV, imho was the biggest 'modern' blues star to emerge from the Eighties, which also features heavyweights such as Robben Ford, Robert Cray and Walter Trout. He may not have owned it, but certainly lived it.
Clapton played a Gibson SG as his main guitar (e.g. in Cream) way before he picked up the Strat in the 70s.
I'm not an awesome blues player. But I know for sure what translates into your playing doesn't depend as much on your guitar as much as your own ability and soul.
It All depends On what kinda of music you like. A Strat And Les Paul Cant Be Compared Because They Are So Different. I own A American Strat And Have Used A Gibson LP. There Both Great guitars
depends the kinda blues u play cause i like to rock a gretsch when i playing slower blues but a strat for the fast blues but i stay away from les pauls cause i dont find the standard pickups come with the right tone for bluesy stuff
A Standard Les Paul would get blown away by an American Standard Strat when talking about the blues. And this is a very silly thing to argue because it's all opion.
rubbish an amp is just a box with some wires... the real sound is in the guitarI... I've tryed many different guitars and no matter what you plug a cheap Fist act guitar into, it always sounds like crap, but even the cheapest mini-amps can carry the smooth tone of the Fender Stratocaster, Telecaster or if you prefer the heavy tone of the Gibson Les Paul or SG!
It all adds up in the end but I like the pure tone of a well made guitar!
the sound is in the amp...the amp and the pedals are what sculpts the sound...the guitar just emits a signal thats then shaped by the amp and pedals...if it were any other way you wouldnt need sound techs and studio equipment
even U2 guitarist Edge said: "this is just a piece of wood, the real sound happens over here" *pointing to his cabinet of amps and processing modules
i've played with people who had +1000$ Jacksons and Scheckters (however thats spelled) and played them through crappy 50W amps and it sounded as if someone was pealing a cat
I don't think that Eric Clapton, Jimmie Vaughan and SRV sound good when playing blues on a Fender and there is this small time guy named Buddy Guy who uses a cool Fender he can play pretty dencent :)
thanks for your help David , sounds great

If you need it any closer or any clearer than what was explained from 3:13 to 6:13, then you need to pick another instrument to play.

I think Les Pauls suck. They are too heavy and just don't feel right. Plus Fender's clean and slightly distorted sounds blow Gibson's away.

It All depends On what kinda of music you like. A Strat And Les Paul Cant Be Compared Because They Are So Different. I own A American Strat And Have Used A Gibson LP. There Both Great guitars
