Maybe you could show how you do the initial "rake" .. your "Jimmy Hendrix" you mention. Hoping you'll coach a little.. you make it look so easy!

Guitar Pilgrim

That's a good suggestion Richard, having a good vibrato is really essential, I touched on it a little bit in the 6 solo guitar tips video, but there is a lot more to tell!

Kevin Hoctor

Great lesson. Small nitpick: your PDF has the D and G strings swapped on the tabs. ;)

Jonnie Madsen

Hi, awesome lesson. I think it would be great if there was access to the backing track you use. The it was possible to practise the solo to the same music... BTW - thanx for great lessons

Glenn Birtwistle

Hi Thom, can you do a lesson on the muting technique you use on the blues solo please? Fab lesson

Janusz Hamerski

Thank you :D please show us one short blues solo each week :D

J Wilder

Totally agree on the backing track suggestion -- sometimes that really helps get it dialed in. Great stuff as always!

Hassanin Ahmed

Thanks! Can you please add where the bends are in the tabs.

Thomas De Lello

Thom, The GP really knows how to teach it... I'll be around for a while...! Click the link on my Profile.

Peter

I mean no disrespect but I believe that the onus is on you to figure those parts out. Give the guy a break!

Peter

I also would love to see more about the Hendrix technique. He sort of touched on it in his "7 Reasons...Hendrix" video. As I understand, the goal is twofold: create that wonderful dead string sound not just for texture but also to free up the right hand so it can pack a meaner punch. But how does the left hand do its job is my question. I've gotten better at it in the couple of weeks I have been paying attention to it, but I still wonder how Prince could get such a juicy mute in the chorus of "Cream" performed live in 2004. Here's that video. (some cool mofo added the tab too :D). <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er1GMEK9-hE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er1GMEK9-hE</a>

Thank you! I didn't know I could do that and you have completely solved my problem which you had no idea about. Amazing.

Alexander Semenov

Hey, why aren't you using Guitar Pro for tabs? It can export to pdf too.

Alexander Semenov

I see. My concern about current tabs is that they don't have any rhythm so one cannot open them in a month or 5 years and still be able to decipher the content. Also it feels like something historical from 2000th.

Glenn Birtwistle

Hey Thom could you do a tutorial on 5hat muting technique please?

Guitar Pilgrim

hey Glenn, you mean the hendrix muting technique? Yes I could do that, you're not the first one who asked, so my guess that's a video people would like to see. I will do one, it will be either here on patreon or on the channel, you can expect to see it within 3 weeks, cheers!

Gerolamo

This would great! And if you could suggest some exercise or riffs to practice it even better!

Glenn Birtwistle

Great idea Gerolamo, this is exactly where I want my playing to be. Thom please please please do some more tuition on this

Glenn Birtwistle

To be fair, I see lots of tabs with bends shown. I don't think it's an unreasonable request particularly as not everyone is at the same level of playing.

Pete Browne

Hi Thomas, Just become a patron, downloaded the tab sheet but need a hand out with the interpretation of some tablature e.g. oh1p0h1, 9-9h11, \po (what does backstroke mean ?), 2/3\2po, need to get off on the right foot, no point in guessing. Thanks, Regards

Peter

Youtube allows users to alter playback speed. I recommend that instead of asking this guy to take time being your personal tutor, you take some initiative in learning by ear and through the plethora of information available to you as a citizen of the world wide web.

Peter

I understand that, but it seems like many aspiring guitarists want someone to hold their hand through the process. It's as if it's too inconvenient to take on the challenge of learning things through trial and error or by merely finding the right book or Youtube video. Idk. Call me a grouch but I think it's ridiculous to ask someone to post *additional* annotations on the already well-structured tab that he took time to create and post for people. I am not at all speaking for him and in fact, Tomas, I welcome your input because I don't wish to cause any tension on a perfectly innocent Patreon page. Rambling over.

Kya

Hi Thomas ! Do you use any pedals while using this solo ? and also what kind of pick are you using ? Many thanks

Robert Larson

It’s 7/7/19. Are you still using Guitar Rig 5? I have that version but NI has not upgraded to accommodate new Mac software. Are you running on a PC?

Frank Cramblitt

Do you have TABS that show the licks with musical notes and include the timing? Please & Thank you.
