You NEED this Joe Bonamassa and Eric Johnson Inspired Run

- Опубликовано: 17 май 2022
- For my Presets visit: johnnathancordy.gumroad.com/ So something about the way Joe Bonamassa and Eric Johnson do these alternate picked runs looks like it has a lot of momentum to me, and I always felt like I was trying to force any speed when I'm playing pentatonic runs. I found this little trick quite helpful and this is something I'm going to try to practice a lot more so that I can have these fast pentatonic runs that can chain together and feel quite flowing.

So I just came back to say 6 months later... This has changed the way I play so much!
I am careful to use it sparingly though..but it's great to throw in where appropriate. Can elevate an otherwise boring sounding lead section.
I did have to work on it hard to get my speed up, but it was so worth it.
Big fan of yours and you really have inspired me to practice a lot more these days. Thanks John!
Was having a hard time following the explanation around 4:00, but I think I got it. You’re playing pentatonic on the lower strings and diatonic on the high E. Then you’re skipping a note and descending, so you’re finishing that string on an upstroke. It just happens to stay as pentatonic when starting from the root note.
It’s interesting how EJ plays this way, adding notes where necessary to keep his picking extremely consistent.
"I'm thinking minor pentatonic box shape". Finally! Something I can understand and relate to
Best lesson videos on RUclips, I’ve spent the whole day on a Cordy lesson binge lol
Today it dawned; I've been living a limited existence. It was all a lie, the time before this run. But now I've become a new man. I NEEDED this run.
Great how you slowly build up the lesson and your thinking behind it, very logical to follow. Thanks!
Great lesson !
Man....that was cool!! Loved it!!
Johnson’s And Bonamassa’s Hate Him Because Of This One Simple Trick!
😂😂
Awesome lesson ! Very inspiring
Great lesson!
Yes, please more of these videos John.
Yeah great point that the physical architecture of the guitar enables for playing lines that move easily up and down several octaves to inspire ear-catching phrases somewhat similar to modern pop singing especially televised contest singing where operatic-level technique is now demanded.
It's IMHO exactly why EJ is so deservedly revered by guitarists. His multi-octave pentatonic lines are quite difficult to achieve on piano or horn to make -- at least for a time -- them sound quite exotic despite that pentatonics are themselves ubiquitous in blues, jazz & rock, unlike more scalar & chromatic lines that give the hands or embrochure for pianists & horn players respectively more time to readjust.
Oh yeah can't forget the OG Pat Metheny here & the immediate academic recognition he received for lighting this fire or at least dropping petrol on it among the jazz community...
You are incredible man!! Wow!
Yes! Really appreciate this video. Thanks
Brilliant playing. So smooth and clear.
Really awesome lesson! I love all your videos but this was really great. 🔥🔥
Thanks John, this is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for! Thanks
Best lesson on this subject, please keep it coming
I'm very much looking forward to dig int this hopefully today. Thanks for making it so immediately useable
Particularly beautiful intro improvisation. Thanks
Thank you for this level of instruction. Time to get with the metronome again. 😎
An excellent and very clear breakdown of pentatonic extensions. Thank you.
Nice licks, gonna have to rip off a few later, thanks!
Great info... sounds great... really diggin' the white Sire H7...
Fuck that intro was clean. Most people are surprised how hard 2NPS is at speed if they haven't tried that type of stuff before.
great tip man! really helped. thanks a lot!! keep sharing these killer secrets, I can visualise the fretboard better while trying to create the sounds I hear on the records. thanks 🤘🏻
Love your Channel and your Type of Tutoring . This Video helps me a lot for my practise Management. Thanks a lot😊
I enjoy your channel for a variety of reasons, your informative, like your playing and there is something calming about voice, thank you for getting me through the holidays. 🎸💕 best wishes to you and yours.
Absolutely one of THE BEST pentatonic EJ lessons I've encountered. I will be studying this extensively!! Thank you so much for an excellent lesson! Cheers!!
Excellent, man!
Wonderful and very inspiring mini Lesson... It's a good taste of Eric's immens talent! Thank you very much for The good work
cool lesson, subscribed
Thank you Sir!!!🤘
I've been chasing this dragon for a while, so thanks for the extra roadside directions!
Outstanding!!!
Small thing, but thanks for keeping those little mistakes in. It would have been easy to edit out but it’s good for a student to know that the teacher still makes mistakes sometimes. Awesome lesson!
Yes thanks for that !
Thanks!
Well .....I know what I'm going to be working on for the next several days. Great lesson.
Me too!!!
Cool concept!!! It adds a nice cascading effect to the scale. BTW: Always a fan of JC through humbuckers!
Great Sound :)
Definitely more of the lessons! Great playing (I remember Bonamassa saying he still can't play cliffs of Dover despite ripping his licks from Eric)
I'm sure he could play it proficiently if you gave him like a week to learn it note by note. What he probably meant by "can't play it", is that he can't come up with original ideas that sound good while playing over it the way Eric can/could in his hayday.
@@Johnherold121 I doubt anyone can play cliffs of dover (live at austin) proficiently 😅
@@1729krish Eric in his prime was a different level
This is great!
Let just say thank to John
I highly recommend Johns Patreon!
killre lesson, thx John!
That's an awesome lick! I've gotta try it, maybe can get it to 3/4 of your speed, if I really work at it! (Your work with the metronome was super impressive!)
Two notes per string are such my kryptonite.
Sounds amazing and what's cool about this (only watched the intro so far) is that is has a lot of E.J. goodness, but doesn't actually sound like E.J. to the point that people would call it out.
"Dismount"... I love it
Okay so I knew you were good but… jeez lol I am excited to get home and try!
Around the 11:00 minute mark the angle of the guitar catches the light from outside and makes the guitar look like a really nice two tone of white and gray. Playing is nice also.
moreeeeee please!!!!!!
yes very good
Thank you SO much for more lessons. Every time you go over a HX patch I wish I knew more about your approach. I was working on this type stuff a minute ago and needed something to help me. This absolutely did.
WOW!
More please
Metrô gnome - these little nuggets always crack me up 😂 Shirley
What.a.great.player
Sounds very much like Joe and Eric, I'll give it a try although, as it's alternate picking I don't think I'll be able to do it! I'm no Sam Coulson!
I do like the idea of keeping the down up motion constant by adding notes, because much like when trying to find economy picking lines that keep the picking in the right direction, you can find interesting phrases that you might not have normally found, so win win!
Great srv ending.
Hell yes
Tried so many times with the EJ thing and can never play it fast, but fuck it may as well have another crack. Cool lesson.
Damn!
These kind of lessons are very helpful. I've been working on this and want to increase my skills in this area. I'm curious to know how you choose which finger to play each fretted note, since you change as you ascend/descend the fretboard.
Hey Steve - the simplest explanation is to find a fingering that works - if you find that you're tripping up on the line a lot, possibly there's a better way to play it that will stop your fingers getting in the way of each other....That's a bit general and vague but that's the principle that I've tended to use in my playing
Love the lessons thanks. Very interesting to hear what you're working on yourself, but above all would love any lessons based on stuff that stands out as "breakthrough", "game-changing" or foundational for you to help get where you are now, earlier in your journey. I'm guessing I'm not in the minority being very, VERY far from your level, so my practice and lesson needs are, er, a little different to yours. But I understand there's a million lesson channels for learning basics, so not suggesting you do that. Would just be interested in your own standouts re above.
fucking awesome!!
Picked notes > Legato. Sweeps and unpicked runs do nothing for me lol Great as always, John!
Then you don’t understand the importance of hammer one and pull offs because pros like EJ are so great at mixing them into their playing during lines that would otherwise be impossible, but you don’t know it’s unpicked because it blends so well with picked notes. That’s the key
@@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial I'm not talking about mixing in hammer-ons and pull-offs. I'm talking about Tom Quayle type legato. I know a ton of people love it, that's fine. I'm just speaking for me personally, I don't.
For me it's the synchronization of the picking hand and fretting hand that can't go above 32 BPM with quarter notes... I just suck.
🤙
Fantastic lesson. Is your tone a HX Stomp preset?
Yes sir!! I think it's Eric Lead here
Actually, this reminds me more of Joe Satriani's "Revelation" song.
Not sure if you check this .what are you using for your tone.? Amp? Effects? Would be appreciated. Great sound. 👍
How long have you played? Great lesson
Since about 1997!
Is that neck as thick as a 335 or a lot thinner ? I’d love to play one.
A TAB on that would be immense for minor pents or is it not minor?
In the context of the backing track at beginning/end, it sounds more like F major pentatonic than D minor pentatonic to me, but same shape/notes.
30 sec video satretched to 18.5 mins! But great intro playing anyway!
That guitar is beautiful what brand / model is that ?
Looks like a Sire Larry Carlton H7
@@joibjalla Thanks very much!
Hey John, sorry, but I couldn't find this backing track on your Patreon channel. What am I doing wrong? Thank you
It's on the post from May 19th
Hello great lesson. I have a quick question.. can I start the run on a upstroke instead or will that hinder me in the long run when bringing it up to speed? Is there any particular reason to start on the down because i can loop it from the upstroke better.
Check out "pick slanting" (Troy Grady). The system used here favours "downwards pick slanting". The extra note on the top string ensures you can continue "downwards pick slanting". Now if you hold your pick with an upwards pick slant, starting with an upstroke will ensure you will not get stuck in the strings when switching strings.
First!
Eric Johnson I know of. He's original and started his own style from the ground up. But Joe Bona..who?
The issue with all of these… and this has PLAGUED me for almost 3 years of failed attempts to this style…. It just doesn’t sound clean. I cannot isolate why. I’ve spent countless hours trying the “pick slanting primer” the upward pick escape stuff. I got a membership to Troy Grady’s course. Nothing I do or have done has given me the ability to play these runs fast and clean.
It may be a rig thing too. But I can tell that every time I get the gain high enough to get that really nice compressed pick attack thing… that sort of smoothness goes away and it becomes very noisey high gain distorted sound and no longer the smooth EJ thing. I have every neural plugin there is, as well as bias fx. I try with humbuckers…I try with my Strat.
It all sounds awful. I don’t know why. But I’m incapable.
Hey, if any of you cordettes are with child, please drop us a dm @johnnathancordy on Twitter. You have to give.
Give our children? Ok! Knew there was some reason for having them. What do we get in return? A signed Cordy pick guard? John's met my children though, he'd probably give them back as defective
