But yea, that’s a good idea about soloing over chord progressions. I’m wondering if I understand it enough to teach it! It’s something I definitely do and have an intuitive understanding to some degree, but explaining to others is a different challenge. I actually have been considering doing a lesson where I show how I go about soloing over a progression like knocking on heaves door or even paradise city. Ya know that G D C type of thing. I often practice to a loop of knocking on heavens door progression. It’s a great one for mixing major and minor, and being in G you have a lot of neck real estate to work with. I may in fact do that next. I just have to think of a way to organize it so the video isn’t 30 mins long and unorganized. But thanks again, good to hear from you 🎸👍🏼

    • @slashtrio
      @slashtrio  Месяц назад

      Thanks man, glad you liked it. Man the godfather is a classic beast of a solo. I have actually never taken the time to learn it. I rarely learn entire solos of slash or anyone, I’m more inclined to just learn licks and phrases that I see guys do and then kind of use them to improvise or maybe just make up my own licks and solos. But yea, the godfather is classic and it would take some serious study for me to pull that off. I’m not quite as good with the natural minor scale stuff. But I’ll put a link below to a guy who teaches the godfather solo. While is tone and playing style is not really like slash he does a great job of breaking it down. Peace 🎸👍🏼

    Man would love to see a video lesson of how to do legato style down the pentatonic but for boxes 2 - 4. Got box one down but have trouble figuring out for the other boxes, just sounds off or out of key. Your videos are great ! Watch you, Lazzlo and c# all the time. Keep up the good work.

    • @slashtrio
      @slashtrio  Месяц назад

      Thanks man, well I’m honored to even be mentioned along side of those legends. I’m a huge fan of Gsharp and Laszlo. They play very similarly I think. I’d venture to say that Gsharp is my favorite guitar player! If I had a magic wand I would be happy to grant myself his guitar playing skills.
      But yea, doing the legato down through the boxes in that fluid way is definitely a challenge and something that I’m still working on myself. It’s one thing to work your way down vertically in each box (which I can do in box 1, 2 and 4 - and maybe box 1 in major pentatonic), but I think the key is getting where you work your way down (or up) horizontally. I tend to do this using slides but also connecting the positions with legato. Don’t think I’m quite ready to teach that yet! It might be hard to watch ha. But I’ll continue to share whatever I can do and continue to learn as I can.
      I think the things that is helping me progress with this is actually taking the time to learn all the boxes / scales and then just adapting those same licks and patterns to those other positions. For a long time I only used the 1st few strings for each position, and still tend to do that.
      Thanks again 👍🏼🎸

Yea playing melodically in a major key is something that I’m still working on, but I don’t spend too much time on it. I do love playing to progressions like knocking on heavens door where you can mix major and minor and play with a bit more melody.

      @@prod.fin- hey man, thanks for watching and glad you liked it. I’m sorry I kind of neglect showing or talking about the picking hand. It’s funny, but it’s not something I think about too much. It’s always been kind of automatic for me. When I watch Gsharp and all these great players, I just watch the fretting hand and pay no attention to the picking hand! I’m sure if I was trying to shred then it would be more essential to study the picking hand. I definitely do a lot of alternate picking and pick raking.
      What level would you say you’re at? Maybe I can make a special video for you. I don’t think I could explain picking techniques well enough for a general consumption video!

    Again what a great channel man. Another one for me to study and practice. I know you are way more advanced and maybe detrimental to your practice to do a slow version of the penta scale positions. Idk why I feel I can easily navigate the board but maybe I only use 1-2 positions or something that resolves the flow of the scale but in a conscious way I doubt I know what is position 2-3-4-5 😅 Someone with your approach and patience could really help others like me

      @@DragDealer hey man, thanks for reaching out and I am glad to hear that you’re continuing to dig these lessons. I understand where you’re coming from with all the position. I did a rather long video down months ago about transitioning through the boxes, but I’m sure it’s not organized in the best possible way. I was slow to learn them all myself. I have long used box 1 2 and 3 but didn’t use the others. I actually have grown to like box 4 the most Maybe. I don’t tend to use all the stings for each box most of the time but it’s good to know. I do go back and practice then from time to time. Maybe I’ll do a beginner type video for all the boxes. Or maybe I’ll just make one for you ha. Sometimes I get overwhelmed when trying to describe it all because I kind of have all mapped out in my brain visually and don’t think in terms of fret numbers and such. But yea, I’ll see what I can do. Thanks again my friend 👍🏼🎸🤘🏼😎

      @@slashtrio Thanks for sharing and letting me know I’m not alone, I’m on that point of the journey when something is gonna click but it doesn’t coz i need a more advanced person to break it down to me. I’ll be so stocked to see the video you mentioned on your comment, for me only, no. Hopefully many others are on a similar journey where they also feel like things are clicking but they lack that visualization and breakdown of the transitions and how to use only a few strings on some shapes. That a huge part of the problem, we think we need to hit them all when I fact is learning locks that move around and flow into other shapes. Hopefully (crossing fingers) you make such video. I use mostly 1 and 2, I’m pretty sure I use something else coz my fingers move and flow into other shapes which I can’t tell what they are, maybe another scale idk, it it resolves nicely. I been thinking on driving into the diminished scale but I want to know the penta first and the melodic minor. My nemesis is lacks of transition into other parts and lack of knowledge of blues licks. But I will keep going. Great to talk to you man 🫡 btw yoi llu explain things just fine and very relaxed so you know how to do it my man

      Regarding hand strength or discomfort, I do not do any kind of stretched or hand exercises, although I have been considering starting to do such a thing. I’m getting up there in the years so the body is more prone to aches and tendonitis type of injuries, definitely gone through that with other activities I love like tennis, surfing, and even working out. I play every day for an hour or two and usually my hands are fine. Occasionally I’ll get some joint aches in the fingers, and if I do I’ll just stop for the day. I have been into 50s fat necks for a while but recently got a LP classic that has a much thinner neck and I’m noticing that maybe it’s better for my fingers, at least for fast type playing.
      But yea, I don’t do exercises as of yet. I think I naturally have a fairly soft touch, not really something I practiced or was even aware of until some people mentioned over the years. That said, I have made even a more conscious effort to not grip any harder than necessary. Oh, I also use lighter strings! I have a hybrid set so that the 1st 2nd and 3rd are from a set of 9s and the others are from a set of 10s. I decided a while ago that lighter would be better for my joint health over the long haul. I just turned half a century a few weeks back so I’m trying to keep the body together!

      @@ShumuStudios thanks again man, your feedback has been so nice. Yea we all have our relative strengths I suppose. I started playing pretty young and got into blues in college. I think I naturally had a soft touch which seemed to lend itself for smooth playing and bending and such. I quit playing lead for many years and got back into it in 2019 or so. I started doing more online lessons and heard guys emphasizing bends and good vibrato. I had never even thought about my technique at that point and was pleasantly surprised that I seemed to be already doing it pretty well. But I have continued to be mindful of it and get even better at it. I think it helps if you can sing at all and have a decent ear. I can song okay and I really notice when I hear players, sometimes really good ones, bending out of key or having stuff wonky vibrato. So I try to emphasize that I’m my videos. My weakness has been knowing all the scales, knowing any theory, and playing fast licks. Those are the things I have worked to improve these last few years. I didn’t really know any of this legato stuff up until a couple of years ago. Still a work in progress.
