Hey All,

Thanks for checking out the livestream on Saturday, it was a good time! You can check out the replay if you missed it in the post right below this one.

It's about that time for some submissions for the next Song Analysis series! Just like the others, I'm looking for PARTS of a song to dissect, not entire songs.

So, simply leave a comment on this post with:

The Song Title - Artist - timestamp - Youtube Link
what you're wanting to know

Whatever gets submitted this week (2-27-23 through 3-4-23) will be analyzed by myself in video format. You can of course submit anything you want, but I would prefer the focus be on musical topics and tactics that we can use, rather than a "teach me this solo because it's cool" type of thing. So for example, I'd prefer "what is the sound of this lick during the solo at 1:30-1:40" instead of "show me this lick".

If you haven't seen the previous analysis videos:

Looking forward to it!

https://youtu.be/4AuCAMyVZUI I recently stumbled upon this guy and the bass plucking technique he uses instead of a pick is super intriguing to me, especially the smooth tone it produces. I thought it might be really cool to examine this technique/how it’s executed on guitar? Couple time stamps that catch my attention: a) Main hook line of song: :46-1:16; especially how it resolves at the end of the lines. I think it’s such a nice sound. b) Fast line starting 4:33-4:39; it’s general sound/approach & how to apply it in general areas. Thanks!

https://youtu.be/h-_78kxxbhs This solo is just beautiful. The rhythm feel of the lead, note choices and use of chromatics and diminished passages over a fairly simple progression. Wanted to know what would be your thought/ear process if you would compose/improvise this solo

Simone Stefanini

https://youtu.be/k-JS9je8t5w In this one would love how you would aproach this progression and especially the b5 subs (i guess) of 2 5 1 in every beginning of the chord progression. Interesting also the sound in the intro...

Emmanuel Mourra

Really I’m just curious how else this solid can be approached. I’m sure I could make out when/where he’s hitting chord tones. Maybe you could show us an example how you can use pretend chords to solo?

Torm Ovst

Isnt she lovely by Bireli Lagrene and Sylvian LUC - 0:00-0:30. Would like to know how the two guitars harmonise each other.

Alvaro Muñoz

Two Moons - Toe - 1:53 - 2:19 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZLlMIL8ceg Really obessed with this part and I'd love to see a harmony break down and understand what the drums are doing. (and maybe some tips on how to approach writing for 2 guitars)

Some cool stuff in this thread. Here's my bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypL4pq1bTRU&t=329s 5:29-6:13 - questions: 1) is this whole thing played within a blues form or does it depart from it? How should I think about harmonic rhythm and form to understand what's going on and where the harmony is heading to? 2) 5:37 onwards - if I want to comp behind those lines, how should I identify basic chords that work with each line? 3) would it be possible to solo over the same chords with less 'notey' lines but delivering the same harmonic content, or is it the harmonic content baked in the 'notey-ness' of those lines? Thanks!

not really, just an overall how you might approach playing this sort of solo

Simone Stefanini

The First 2 choruses are from 0:30 to 1:10 if it's too time consuming you could do the first chorus only

Simone Stefanini

From 1:40 starts the solo with Bbm Eb7 Am7b5 Dalt G maj ...there are 3-4 ofnthisnin the chorus.how would you think if this progression? What is the sound in the intro?
