    You’re a real guitarist man. No noodling just pure feel and exploration. The most important thing is you don’t fear silence or space - you harness it and fill it really beautifully so the payoff is well earned. I’ve seriously listened to it like 20 times and it just keeps getting better

      I’m 16, I didn’t pick up the guitar because of him, but he changed slide for me. Him and Joey made me reimagine how I could use a slide, and in doing so changing my non-slide playing. I’m eternally greatful to Joey and Ariel for their music.

    This is one of the realest lessons I've heard in MANY years, there is SO MUCH pressure on younger guitarists to do the crazy shit they saw in the short clip, ignoring all the context around it, the silence that allows the sound to pop out, the mellow parts which allow the peaks to ring through, the evolution, phases, and psychedelic journeys you can take people on when you take a step back and play from your heart.
    INCREDIBLE

      @Sloozer45 3 года назад

      @Shred5 just for sake of accuracy, Palmisano didn't change the title to, "The Best Solo..."; That's the title the original poster gave it. So, Palmisano is just informing us which video he's reacting to.

      @shred5 3 года назад

      @@Sloozer45 for the sake of accuracy, if you're going to correct someone you should at least make sure you're not full of shit. He did in fact change the title by dropping the end off the title, as the full title is "Possibly the best guitar solo I’ve heard in 12 years of owning a music venue! Keep Watching!"
      Removing the end gives it a completely different context.

    Very good, articulate and thoughtful in your approach to this lesson/explanation/pep talk as you are on guitar. I remember the piece you are referring to, probably went viral among guitarists a while back, perhaps a year or less and it was notable. My ears perked up and i felt what you were putting down for sure. You're right, a minimal approach is often best. Less is often more. There are also times when more is more, depends on the vibe one is conveying. I like the indian classical motifs you weave in there and hear that that is an aspect of your style, like Harry Manx perhaps, of that ilk. So yah, as guitarist to guitarist; respect and thanks.
