Holy christ! I love your videos, your skill and your ideas are just overwhelming! You probably don't follow a strict practice routine nowadays, but I would really appreciate it (and I think many others would, too) if you made a video where you talk about what elements you think are the most important to become a good guitarist.

[gitarmats]

Rimelig heftig speling her... mildt sagt!

Morsomt å sjå den gitaren i aksjon.. Høres tøft ut!

[linkmaster50]

Your control over the instrument is fantastic! This smells like some Guthrie Govan to me!

Keep it coming!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@linkmaster50 Thanks! Yeah, I will :)

[SIXSTRING63]

@linkmaster50 I agree on the control but I hear a little Frank Gambale too. :-)

[vaughaneano]

Me gusta! Frank Gambale Influence =)

[bshuker]

Very nice, no doubt a Gambale fan?

[MSxLoNeWoLf]

Excellent ;)

[michaeljipi]

That's really great. What guitar and effects did you use for this video? Such great tone

[MortenFaerestrand]

@michaeljipi Thank you!! Check my website, I have a complete gear list there.

[JSustain]

I love how instead of just showing licks, you play them with a backing track to get you a feeling of how to improvise using them instead of learning a lick and don't know what to do with it. Also, have you tried using the stubby picks? They helped out a lot with my sweep picking or economy picking.

[MortenFaerestrand]

@shadowknight132 Thank you! I have tried everything! What works best for me are the big triangles that RedBear makes, really thick "gypsy" gauge with speet bevels. I like the fender triangles to.

[maty7976321]

Great playing! Jazzrock!

[pockthehairy]

@plotchickens was that a joke?

[MortenFaerestrand]

@pockthehairy don't mind that guy, he's just a stupid little internet hater. He won't bother us again. 

[gandaragarcia]

Also, the chords are Gm9, Ebmaj7, Cm9 and Abmaj7? I could use the same scale for the first three chords right? I also think I can use Lydian for major chords and dorian for minors. If you have suggestions they are welcome. Thanks!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@gandaragarcia yeah, that's the chords. Maybe regular G minor is more obvious than G dorian? Definately Ab lydian!

[gandaragarcia]

Excelent. Great tone and phrasing. What software do you use to create the backing tracks?

[MortenFaerestrand]

@gandaragarcia Thanks. Logic, and superior drums.

[brwnhornet59]

Nice chromatic run at 1:18. Love the Gambale ala Morten sweeps! Between the pedal tones and the Chromatic walking, it's a set of great ideas. These blogs inspire the BaJebus out of me!
