    You asked for suggestions on how to improve on this first teaching video. My suggestion is: don’t change anything! This is the clearest, most comprehensive lesson on steel bending that I have ever seen, and one of the best over-all guitar lessons on RUclips.

    Being able to teach effectively is more difficult than one would think. You do it very well. Extremely well. Very natural. You explain what, why, when and where. Instead of playing the lick and say there ya go!!

    Really enjoyed this tutorial. Never realized all the possibilities on stretching triad shapes. I use an .011 high E set, so I might change to .010 or .009 on another guitar to facilitate these bends. I use a glass slide a lot in between riffs. The thinner strings do not allow me to slide. Thank you. I'll be back!

    • @AlexFarranGuitar
      @AlexFarranGuitar  8 месяцев назад

      Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the lesson! I have another steel bends lesson coming soon so stay tuned! I find 10's to be a perfect compromise so have stuck with them for quite some time now.

    I like the mood the lamps set. I had a guitar teacher years ago that had a lamp lit room that was just relaxing and cozy. We would do an hour lesson and then just sit and talk music for two more. He would introduce me all kinds of music. Put on an album, talk about it and demonstrate. He taught me how to listen to music as well as play. Your videos have that mood. 👍

    Some 3 years ago I decided to actually try to learn a bit of theory after 30+ years of playing. That has been a very interesting journey with quite a lot of frustration. Have bought many books and watched endless you tube videos. Most has not been helpfull at all. Maybe I am at a point now where Im more open/ready for this kind of theory/practice, but I can honestly say that this is he best and most usefull I have ever watched. I know there a lots to practice and work on, but for the first time I dont feel frustrated, actually pretty calm on optimistic. Thank you Alex 😀

    The whole time watching I'm thinking to myself how much I dig your tone, then you mentioned the decibelics klon and it all made sense! I've got one in purple that I run through a 1965 vibrolux and its a damn hard sound to beat. Excellent video 10/10 no notes

    Great video Alex. I toured many years ago with country bands, and later on adapted many of those country licks into my blues and R&B playing. I teach now, and still love learning new things to share with my students. You showed me some licks I remember hearing from the great country pickers, but never quite got around to learning. Looking forward to more. Total quality. Many thanks. Steve in Santa Cruz CA.

    I'm a long-term subscriber, who really admires your fine playing in a variety of stylistic settings. My focus for the last few decades has been jazz -- as a player, particularly chord melody on acoustic archtop -- but I come from a rock background and also love western swing and country guitar. You have extremely impressive facility in this faux steel sound that I love, and I have only great praise for your premier teaching video. Your point about practicing toward a very clear concept of the sound you want resonates with me -- I have a short pep talk for myself, "Play it how you want to hear it!"

      That’s no bad thing!.. I need to do a deep dive on his playing. Only ever really heard Sleepwalk and Lonesome Fugitive, will give him a serious listen very soon 👌🏻

    Hey Alex, I really like your playing and I absolutely love that you take up jazz and country. Over here in Denmark I feel that a lot of guitar players only care for one genre f.ex jazz. If you go back to melting pot of American music in the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s you’ll notice how closely related theese genres are. Western Swing of course being a great example of this. Thanks for the inspiration mate🎶🎶🤙

    • @AlexFarranGuitar
      @AlexFarranGuitar  Год назад +4

      Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes you’re exactly right!.. back in the day it was all just good music!.. genres were invented by the marketing guys in suits and I find it very sad that some people like to live their musical lives within those arbitrary boundaries!
      Thanks for stopping by my Danish friend!

    Absolutely phenomenal video, I play in a country/folk band and had been wanting to improve my steel style bending and this helped a lot! The volume swells really made it for me, no easy mode with a volume pedal, just pure perfection! Really really beautiful stuff! So I'm actually really struggling with those swells, I feel like my pinkie is too short, do you have any tips on how to do those more effectively?

    • @AlexFarranGuitar
      @AlexFarranGuitar  4 месяца назад

      Thanks for the comment!.. really glad you found the lesson useful.
      It is tough to reach the pinkie out to start with for everyone.. took me a long while to get a proper solid feel for it. It’s more about flexibility and stretching than about finger length I reckon. Just keep it going and it’ll gradually start to work out 👌🏻

    You see I have a problem with this lesson. I mainly play Gibsons. I always say you can do everything on a LP. Now I see the first 30 seconds of this and I am now GASing for a CS Telecaster. Argh! Fantastic lesson.
