Glory Box Blues - Minor Pentatonic Solo

I suppose this is my answer to all the shredding videos here on You Tube. This is a solo over a looping backing track. I play this a lot because I'm a big believer in having heart and feeling in what you play and this is good practice.

Sorry it's a bit long, it's not self-indulgence but once i start I could do this for hours!

very nice, this is what separates a guitarist from an incapable yet eager teenager (shredder). Could I somehow persuade you to upload the backing loop? Or at least link to the (or 'a') recording that you sampled from? I love the original but there isn't enough soloing space on it lol.

man this is great heres to you for putting up a video way better than any shredding one ive seen. and great les paul. is it gibson?

[ianbrunyee]

Hi many thanks for the comment!

It isn't a gibson - it's a replica by a company called 'vintage' very inexpensive, but brilliantly built and has the most unbeleivable round full tone.

Thanks again

Very nice! Very well done! I'm also a guitar player(for 2 years)...how long have you been playing the guitar? And how did you start learning?

[ianbrunyee]

Hi, thanks for the comment. I've been playing for 15 years, since I was 12 and i'm self taught. Didn't get very far to be honest until i was in my late teens & I started listening to and learning more styles & my playing started to get a lot better.

Thanks

Ian

This vid is great. Nice,laid back blues.

There should be more vids like this on Youtube instead of guys thinking they know how to shred.

Was just playing along to the album version and wondered if anyone on YouTube had any hints on playing it... and I found this :) Bless you for putting in a word in for feeling over shredding!

Any idea where I could get hold of the backing track?

[jogpianoman]

@ianbrunyee Actually it's by Portishead, John Martyn covered it. :)
