@MortenFaerestrand Great playing. I wish you could back my sax on my next video because you play with a lot of sensitivity! :-)

[leucatines3]

Very nice, thanks for inviattaion

How to find the TAB for that piece of music ?

[MortenFaerestrand]

@leucatines3 Thank you! Sadly there is no TAB, the whole thing is improvised..

[Fritz1945]

man i wish i could play like that... ive been playing for about 2 years n im no where near this..

[MortenFaerestrand]

@Fritz1945 thank you mate! It took me well over 20 years, give it time ;-)

[eymaykoll]

Realmente, la cancion lo dice todo, Increible¡¡¡

[rack325i]

are you touching the volume knob on your vibratos?

[MortenFaerestrand]

@rack325i Not spesifically on the vibratos really, just to adjust the gain.. I see that it could look like it has something to do with the vibratos, but it don't.. :)

[anuska43]

@DavyNightmare13 it's an old ESP, I just had it re painted and set up:) Really good!

[StarBlues101]

I really like your style and tone! Looking forward to watching and listening to more of your work.

[MortenFaerestrand]

@StarBlues101 Awesome, welcome aboard!

[venusheavy]

Wonderfull. Saludos from the 80's Vênus Band from Piauí -Brazil.

[nossan]

o.o nice fucking tone! The opening note is so fuckin tasty!!

[Lianous]

I also live with the boxer dog 10 y.o. )))

[MortenFaerestrand]

@Lianous mamy people mistake him for a boxer, he is infact a bulldog. The "olde english bulldog" breed.

[Cetnik77]

Great playing!! Tone and phrasing tasteful beyond belief!! Excellent work!! :)

[MortenFaerestrand]

@Cetnik77 thank you!

[SPEEDFREAK200008]

[MortenFaerestrand]

@apawlow82 Thank you:)

[niewszystkojasne]

You're great, i'm glad that i found your channel :)

[MortenFaerestrand]

@niewszystkojasne Cool, welcome aboard!

[speakeasyx]

Seriously, I just keep going back to the beginning to hear you play the instrumental. Glassy tone, tasty riffage. Nice work, man.

[MortenFaerestrand]

@speakeasyx Thank you! Yeah, the guitar has a really unique, glass like tone, it really stands out:)

[speakeasyx]

*MOST* excellent.

[MortenFaerestrand]

@speakeasyx Thank you!

[skolnick14]

That is the best tone I've ever heard....

[MortenFaerestrand]

@skolnick14 That's awesome to hear!

[xguitar123]

WONDERFUL VIDEO. AMAZING TONE

[MortenFaerestrand]

@xguitar123 Thanks bro!

[gyanissimo]

Thanks Morten, very nice playing. I need this for my guitarroom. :-)))

[MortenFaerestrand]

@gyanissimo Thank you! Guitarroom?

[col33145]

So is that a STONE pick i see your using ??

[MortenFaerestrand]

@col33145 No, it's a read bear, some sort of arganic material.

[JesusPaid4You]

This is very beautiful!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@JesusPaid4You Thank you!:)

[MortenFaerestrand]

@MortenFaerestrand No, it's a red bear, some sort of organic material I think.

[Samymakintosh]

hello man , this is really nice tone !!! what do you use for that ?

[MortenFaerestrand]

@Samymakintosh Thanks! I'm not 100% sure what I used here, I would guess a Carvin Legacy 2 and a Carl Martin PlexiTone.

[MortenFaerestrand]

@Samymakintosh to be honest I don't remember.. It's either a Carvin Legacy or a Fender Blues Junior. Probably the Carl Martin Plexi Tone overdrive pedal, but I'm not 100% sure about that either.

[cowcrusher]

I'm watching this again, the intro is so great! Also what kind of dog is that? Is it some type of bulldog? No matter what it's so cute!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@cowcrusher Cool, thank you! The breed is called Old English Bulldog.

[cowcrusher]

Yup I need to practice lol

[MortenFaerestrand]

@cowcrusher we all do!! :)

[awfulguitarplucker]

silly almost useless question: have you tried Jackson guitars in jazz-fusion styles sometime? it was a kink of mine to try out ..but i never had a chance..:3

[MortenFaerestrand]

@awfulguitarplucker I don't think I have tried a Jackson ever actually. I don't think brands matter that much, most brands have both shitty and great guitars, some offer more value than others..

[WASD9ox]

where you get all these backing tracks?

[MortenFaerestrand]

@WASD9ox I make them myself.

[ECNeeba]

that dog was right...sounds great man

[MortenFaerestrand]

@ECNeeba He's a wise dog... :-D

[Benill03]

Exellent lesson, thanks for your posting! Sounding absolutely amazing. Who makes that guitar? That neck looks really cool!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@Benill03 Thank you! The guitar is actually an old ESP. I messed it up in my teen years - painting on it, scraping paint off, changing pickups etc etc. I just recently got it set up as it was originally, we decided to omit the logo since it was a pain to get a hold of it. It looks cooler without anyway!

[moonchard]

Your an amazing guitarist man and I hope one day I'll sound that good!

Very useful lesson, thank you!

What pups are on that guitar?

[MortenFaerestrand]

@moonchard Thank you, great that you could use it! :)

The pick ups are (they are 20 years old, I don't know if they make them anymore) Ultrasonic ref 5 (I think) in the neck, an OBL in the middle, don't know the model name, it's like a humbucker in single coil format, and a Seymor Duncan Trembucker by the bridge. I particularly like the neck pickup, it has a really unique kind of glass clear quality to it! :)

[leozingy]

"Sounds great man!" :) Sure does, sure does. I'm subscribing...

[MortenFaerestrand]

@leozingy Cool, welcome on board!:)

[misterreality]

really nice playing. really nice note selection and the sweeps don't even sound out of place, it's all really nice lines..

[MortenFaerestrand]

@misterreality Glad to hear it, that's what I aim for:)

[victoraleb]

Nice playing! I enjoyed it a lot. My friend plays sweeps as well. I'm not a guitar player so I'm not sure if you're doing it exactly the same but i got his videos on my channel if you want to check him out. Anyway, I've enjoyed several of your videos now so keep it up.

[MortenFaerestrand]

@victoraleb Thanks for watching! :)

[oswa0714006]

great tone

[MortenFaerestrand]

@oswa0714006 Thanks man!

[RyanCmetal]

amazing

[MortenFaerestrand]

@RyanCmetal Glad you liked it!:)

[Axemaniac]

Great playing, cheers Morten :)

[MortenFaerestrand]

@Axemaniac Thank you!

[Rizenchaos]

I want to learn that scale!!More likely my idol Steve Vai!!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@Rizenchaos go ahead and sign up on my lailing list, and you'll get the TAB for it! :)

[Rizenchaos]

iPad:)

[guitaralbert0]

do you use red bear picks? i see a sticker on your wall... :) if so, then awesome! they are the best!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@guitaralbert0 Well spotted!!! Yeah, I do, and I agree! :)

[billmeedog]

@MortenFaerestrand,

Great stuff AND your dog ROCKS!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@billmeedog hehe, thank you!!

[hueseph]

Glad I subscribed. Not just a great guitarist but you have a great sense of melody.

[MortenFaerestrand]

@hueseph Thank you! Good to have you on board! :)

[g3legacy]

Frankly you deserve 5 stars, just for the dog - and another 5 for the playing. Seeing as I can only give 5, that will have to do. Love your technique, tone and phrasing.

[g3legacy]

@g3legacy Its been so long since I posted a rating I forgot the stars have gone, so you got the thumbs up instead haha!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@g3legacy haha, that's great man, appreciate it! :) I'll tell the dog you said so.

[MrDzhimbo]

Soulful playing, sweet tone.



[MortenFaerestrand]

@MrDzhimbo Thanks bro! :)

[Sublemon7]

this is fantastic dude. there are a lot of amazing guitar players on youtube but it's really rare to find someone who can keep solo-guitar so interesting the whole time. well done.

[MortenFaerestrand]

@Sublemon7 Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! :)

[downtowndougb]

That intro is a panty dropper.

[MortenFaerestrand]

@downtowndougb umm, ok, thanks.. ;-)

[AlexShyBoy]

hi morten, thanks for exellent sound, one CIAO from italy

[MortenFaerestrand]

@AlexShyBoy Thank you, HEI from Norway:)

[AlexShyBoy]

@MortenFaerestrand Unfortunately, I do not speak English very well where you are very good, i study drum and i like jazz then I don't understand exactly everything you say, but I get the same to appreciate your sound and passion put to teach, congratulations continues so HEI !

[MortenFaerestrand]

@AlexShyBoy Thanks man, glad to hear it:)

[D3R3K1600]

Rolling across strings on one finger is tricky, do you know any exercises for that alone?

[MortenFaerestrand]

@D3R3K1600 just take it slow and focus on getting it clean.. It won't be 100% clean all the time, which is great since we're playing music and not doing math.. ;)

[diamonddust22]

Beautiful man, really love that guitar. the color is gorgeous

[MortenFaerestrand]

@diamonddust22 Thank you, yeah I agree, I just had it painted a few weeks ago, back to the original color, it looks even better live than on screen! :-)

[diamonddust22]

@MortenFaerestrand It truly does and the sound is really amazing too.

[mrfish4lyfe]

great tone, what are you playing through?

[MortenFaerestrand]

@mrfish4lyfe thank you!! I play through a Carvin Legacy 2 combo.

[brwnhornet59]

Great tune Sensei. You sound excellent as always. I am pleased that other people are digging you as well!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@brwnhornet59 Thanks bro!!

[IntelligentProbe]

That is a nicely scalloped guitar neck. Great tone too.

[MortenFaerestrand]

@IntelligentProbe Thank you! :)

[Astralsreams]

you look like shawn lane lol

[Yelizev]

Hi Morten.

I try with you.

I watch your dog.

I thank you.

Hello from Ukraine.

[MortenFaerestrand]

@Yelizev hehe, you're welcome, my dog sends his regards too;)

[gitarmats]

Ekstremt deilig gitarlyd!

Heftig spelt også!

Eg skreiv inn navnet mitt på mailing listen på nettsiden din, men har ikkje fått en slik 'aktivasjons-mail' enda og hvis eg prøver igjen står det at eg må trykke på linken i mailen eg ikkje har fått... Kan du hjelpe med dette? Ville gjerne få disse leksjonen tilsendt ettersom det virker som morsome greier!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@gitarmats Kult! Det hender det tar litt tid, skjønner ikke helt hvorfor, den kommer sikkert snart..

[gitarmats]

@MortenFaerestrand

Ok, skal vente noen dager til og se om noe skjer. Er vandt til at slike mailer ankommer umiddelbart så eg syntes det var litt merkelig, hehe.

Følger stadig med på videoene du legger ut!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@gitarmats det bør ikke ta så lang tid, et par timer toppen! Lurer på om det er noe maintanance greier hos de som sender ut de mailene..

[MortenFaerestrand]

@gitarmats sjekk spamfilteret ditt, det ser ut som at mailen er sendt..

[gitarmats]

@MortenFaerestrand

Har desverre ikke dukket opp i spamboks eller innboks.

Eg skal på en liten reise til sørlandet i en ukes tid om noen dager så hvis eg ikkje har fått noen mail innen eg er hjemme igjen så kan eg ta kontakt igjen.

[severionz]

Got what you mean, anyway it's ALL NICE! Keep it up, ROCK ON!!

[severionz]

yes! something like what u've played, but all recorded within tracks, not live! I bet that will be as nice as the live version as well!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@severionz ah, I see:-) Actually, this IS recorded to separate tracks, I record the entire lesson into Logic Pro.. So this is all I have, it's not a finnished composition, just a scetch I made to show a different way that the musical example we're working on right now can be used.

[severionz]

Nice nice, can feel the passion running in the notes..Do you have a nice studio version to share? It just spurs & inspires!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@severionz Thank you! Studio version?

[evilek]

Really liked solo at the end! Want moar! :]

[MortenFaerestrand]

@evilek Cool, stay tuned:)
