LOL, man, I had to laugh at your comment about "free will" and if we even have it. Thanks for the video - we would all do well to listen up when you teach.
This is exactly the kind of lessons that I value the most, and I so appreciate your posting it. How you think is very important to me, so any lesson you give on how you visualize and think about the fingerboard gives all of us a great window into your mind and even your heart. Your songs and solos move me like no other. And I love it when you share how you practiced and learned those great improv pieces that precede your posts. Makes me proud to support you on Patreon. Keep those valuable insights coming. I think I speak for everyone hear when I give you a most hearty "thank you."
Oh god!!! Now I clearly understand what is going on with your playing with that permutation explanation. I've been listening to you for years and I am like "where does his magic come from dammit?'" Now I understand. Please John, please more lessons on that permutation approach. Please. ❤
I called you out on RJ Ronquillos morning show yesterday John…. He was asking who would be a good person to study on legato and I mentioned you lol😂, you really have the legato thing goin on… sounds great John keep it up. Main thing I think your great at it stringing your legato together (your phrasing) and ending into bends on the one…. None the less Very inspiring….
Excellent lesson, insights, and tips into how to develop a good Legato so we can improvise cool Lines. I confirmed many things I thought you were doing, but it was satisfying to hear you say them. There is one other thing that I noticed when I was first trying to understand what was going on in your fluid legato improvisations. That was the frequent use of "upbeats" to the first downbeat in the line. I was really shocked how much using upbeats helped me, as I had the habit of starting on the downbeat, and that made my lines sound uninteresting from the get go. I thoroughly enjoy your steam-of-consciousness improvisations, but they seem more like a river, than a stream. 😉Thanks It's interesting that the 2-string pattern/riff that you like to use has similarities to the famous Pink Floyd Synth riff in "On the Run," at least to my ears. Both have a certain propulsive, hypnotic quality to them.
That was really interesting and answered a lot of questions that were half formed in my head. It has to be said that the toilet has great natural reverb. 😏
5:40 "what you practice is what will come out in your lines eventually..." which has always been my thinking intuitively, and I think why I've always only been interested in playing songs, songs, songs. No technical exercises. And maybe, maybe, that's why my own improvisation is, in my opinion, so melodic and full of song-like ideas. I could be wrong. But the interesting thing is, _why_ do people want to achieve different things. Why do you want to play long legato lines, what's the point? Is it worth all the trouble? These are rhetorical questions, of course.
Well for me I'd imagine that folks are asking me about Legato stuff specifically because it's something they've seen me doing - that's all - not saying that it's essential or anything - of course any time someone asks me about how to play melodic stuff - I suggest that they play song melodies
Do you need a certain kind of amp setting or modeller patch for that type of playing to help keep the notes at a similar volume, maybe more gain or compression? Can you play that style on an acoustic?
@@johnnathancordy - Thanks mate. There are so many RUclips guitar vids out there now, but your channel is the one that actually inspires me to play. Good job man 👌🏻🙂
Ich denke das dein legatospiel schwer nachvollziehbar ist,weil du mal 3 töne pro seite und mal 2 töne benutzt...das macht es für mich irgendwie schwer überschaubar...tolle video
This is extremely confusing for me is when you sound from the right hand pick, and when is the sound from the left hand fingers ?? I don’t see any notation when you pull or hammer from the left hand fingers… without those important information, this whole lesson is simply pointless…
I like long legato lines in the toile**. Hmm, not really sure...
We miss 100% of the shits we don't take
@@johnnathancordy Yes and beer is merely rented awhile.
Lmfao

Fascinating. Clearly, Free Will is a subjective illusion.
Dude, you got some seriously good chops going on there. Love it!

These lessons are just what I need. Very good lesson, concise teaching, well explained and full of useful content.
I really appreciate your teaching videos, your technique has helped me get to the next level.
Oh that's amazing to hear and thanks so much for your generosity!!
Your legato is brilliant. Really enjoying the videos
You have such a unique style John. So melodic, so smooth, so fluid. Great job!
Have saved all these legato posts, phenomenal stuff.
Extra thing to know, is your intervals.
I found one of your videos and suddenly its a week (and all your videos) later and I'm playing out of my skin!

I always wanted to have a lot of elephants I'm not in control of. Excellent!
Excellent video lesson thanks!!
Super helpful stuff. Feel like I'm just coming out of stage one

Dude this was an amazing lesson. Thank you so much
Really Good video, thanks for sharing, so many don't
Great lesson sir. Much appreciated
I paid to access the Helix/Stomp gum road folder once. Are the newer presets available in the same folder?. How do I recognize them?
I have some work to do…. Thanks John

I do think an official answer has been given for "horsemeat" :)
Working on this exact thing rn

Loving the Eminem reference!
Brilliant
- I like the tone of that. Is that a Helix patch ? Are you playing straight in, or using an amp ?? Can I get this patch ?
Great playing 🙂👊🏻
Straight in Helix patch it's JohnnyGiggs

Nice
We have free will but it's bound by our nature.
Is the legato even there at all 😆😆
