The way Michael Landau played his solo in 'Goodbye Guiding Light' just blew my mind. For a second, he played inside the box, then jumped out, and then got back in. Spectacular!
I wanted to say "fantastic episode," but jayboy beat me to it. So, I'll say GREAT episode. Very implementable advice that should pay big dividends for any guitarist who still struggles to play over changes (particularly non-diatonic changes, but really any changes).
@@TeleTonemonkeyOne doesn’t need to understand theory to play guitar or chords. There are plenty of players who didn’t know or learn any theory until years after they started playing.
Idk about this, he had an ear for diatonics and knew them off of the major scale but that's as far as his music theory ever went. Journals (despite being ethically questionable) has a BUNCH of his early chord charts and open position pentatonic scale scribblings from guitar lessons, but he only ever employed that knowledge for songwriting
Players like Mike Landau and Luke are perhaps the exception, rather than the rule, when it comes to their schooled approach to music. They set out with the intention of becoming top drawer studio musicians so their whole focus was very different to that of a songwriter like Kurt. So many great players and songwriters aren't able to articulate what they're doing in theoretical terms, yet it has no bearing on the excellence of their output. Where I find theory most useful is in teaching; it gives us the ability to demystify, quantify and, subsequently, pass on some of the magic of these incredible players, composers and songwriters.
@@jaycareaga9929 you don’t know what you are saying. Theory doesn’t necessarily mean you sit in a class or read a book on it. Leaning chords, scales when to use them how to solo over them is all theory. They learned from friends, watching others and practice and playing but they learned. It’s not like a 5 year old who picks up an instrument beats the piss out of and doesn’t create any music …that is an individual who doesn’t know any theory.

How ironic Kurt Cobain didn’t know a single thing about guitar theory
If that were the case, he couldn’t play a chord. So not “ironic “, but miraculous! 😉
