    Mike, I’m a big fan of your presentation style. There’s loads of people who dive deep into the technicals of gear when they demo it, and that’s great and very useful, but can also be too much info to take in at once. But when you explain something I understand it like I’m having a casual conversation from a friend, not a teacher, and that goes a long way to get the message across

      @@Guitargate This sound you are demonstrating occurs in the outro of the Rush song "Working Man" at 6:39. I didn't really know that it was a sound that was difficult to get, I just know that the first time I heard it come out of my soldano astroverb I was floored that I had THAT sound!
      I'm not sure what pedal was engaged, but I use a Blues Driver for a tiny level boost for rhythm playing and I use a 2005 Barber Direct drive for soloing. Respectfully, in my experience, expensive guitars are not required. However, expensive tube amps ARE. ;)

    Michael..you have changed my life so much. I can never play guitar even close to professionals..I am a sax player and will always be..but even if I don't get the details of your analysis, I get the gist. I have learned that the 3rd is the function of all that matters. I struggle with circle of fifths and other theory. I can play any song in any key that is played on my sax--but I could never teach it..its just something I feel. You are able to do that and I am in awe of your skill. Thank you for every analysis you do.

    • @StratMatt777
      @StratMatt777 Год назад

      I played saxophone in high school and gave up after high school because I was so annoyed that I could not play along by ear with Kenny G, and could only play from music. Unbelievably I knew almost nothing about key signatures because they didn't teach it in anywhere in grade 5 through grade 11. When hearing SRV forced me to get a stratocaster when I was 20 so that I could play like that, I chose to not get guitar lessons so that I could learn to play lead by ear. It was slow going but I was pretty good after 3 years since you don't need to know any theory to play by ear on a linear instrument.
      I learned all the music theory in college classes a few years later and, while I do apply it to my chord playing, I still don't think a thing when I shred on guitar. Having played sax, I am always AMAZED at how wind instrument players can play by feel in the moment while applying key signatures to what they are doing. The guitar is the easy instrument! You're doing the hard stuff!
      I have never needed to apply the circle of fifths to playing anything on guitar.

      @@dougsmith8430Yeah, pesticides are pretty thoroughly regulated these days. I played in fields and creek banks when I was a little boy that had genuinely NASTY stuff in them, I'm 37 and every one of my health problems has always been self-inflicted, haha! That said, every vegetable, fruit, and, uh... flower I grow is 100% organic, because that produces the best result with the least amount of environmental impact. My fertilizers are compost teas and horse poop. My pesticides are other bugs and neem. But I think there's little to worry about with commercial pesticides in 2023. I think it was pretty insidious in, say, 2008, but one of the VERY few good things to come from social media (for those not too gullible to do a little research before going all 'Frankenstein mob') is easily accessible information on exactly that sort of thing. Now we use GMOs (also not usually bad, essentially everything you've ever eaten aside from wild stuff has been a GMO, just it used to take a couple thousand generations of selective breeding and now can be done in just one) to be resistant to things we would otherwise have to treat for, so pesticide use is at a near all-time low. I don't buy or grow GMO items (again, the kind in the lab, look up the origin species of every vegetable, fruit, or critter you eat, and aside from seafood and wild game, you'll find they're VASTLY different than even a couple hundred years ago), but that's only because I like the idea of returning to roots. The problem I have with GMOs is the price of admission. Genuinely great breeders/growers/distributors who can't afford the exorbitant prices of the latest/greatest strains/breeds/cultivars keep producing their EXCELLENT produce, but they're left in the dust as far as yields are concerned and as a result all but the stubbornest are either starved out or guided to the 'dark side'. Heirloom strains/breeds/cultivars are slowly disappearing, but awareness is rising, and I hope that will one day return 'family farm' to the list of businesses lucrative enough to be interesting to younger generations. The sweet corn, peppers, tomatoes, beans, greens, eggs (and sadly, occasionally chicken), herbs, garlic, onions, carrots, and, uh... flowers... that my garden produces are second to NONE, but I couldn't make a living with it alone even if I had 1,000 acres to devote to it. But if EVERYONE had half a backyard devoted to it? Commercial produce would have to step up their quality. In order to do that, they'd have to grow smaller, better crops. You see where this is going.

    I love how subjective tone is, I would never record anything using that tone but there are people who absolutely love this. Personally I prefer a lead tone that emphasizes pinch harmonics over beefy double stops but it’s all about the elements of your playing that you want to emphasize. That’s how you develop a playing style and signatures in your playing. Sustain is a requirement no matter what style of lead you’re playing, this is a real cool tone for sure if you’re a blues rock player…
