How Seth Learned To Solo (Part 3)

A (more informative - if I say so myself) episode of the series in which I address my use of hangers, why they are bad, and other issues that are of pressing importance to an ever-dwindling percentile of the community.

How to you tackle those fills ??? Runs ???

@Goodi8 Thanks for all the nice comments. Merci, merci. TO answer your question: The whole purpose of practicing is to get your hands to be able to do them what you want when you want them to... Then, learning how to fail enough to where you don't care (that makes you a professional, IMHO) and still fake out anything. You ever watch "Enter The Dragon?" It's a good movie; very much about music. Anyway: I just learned my scales. If you got 10 tricks up your sleeve, jerks can't stop you. Cheers!

When I hear most versions of Autumn Leaves, they don't sound good. However,your version of Autumn Leaves is beautiful!!!

Man, you are way too kind. Did this explain anything? I thought it was better than the first 2. What did you think?

ALSO: have you seen the video about how to play "You Never Can Tell"? I thought it was really good and very helpful.

Interesting. So how do you do it? Do you play any piece you want to use those hangers into in a key where you can use the g minor and c blues scale? Ah, unfortunately my mind is too slow to copy those hangers just through listening- too fast for me. maybe you can tell me the notes in order?
