    • @AlexFarranGuitar
      @AlexFarranGuitar  5 часов назад +1

      Hey buddy, no backing track at all.. I’m using my looper here, so I didn’t make a backing track. I do mention this in the lesson to make sure people know. This lesson is all about giving YOU to responsibility of laying down your own chords. 👍🏻🧡

    • @SjaakShirly6559

    Thank yoy Alex i understand everything crystal clear and im going to do it all, i have a limited edition tiger eye flame maple topped HSS ultra strat for now, and im putting that thru a Boss Eband JS10 for the looping. Im going to study with you as much as possible, im using classic core fender bullets, and im tuned down a full whole step for maximum thickness, im using the extra heavy fender triangle picks and my finger tips, the string gauge is still 9s. Thank you for everything , im 59, take care.

    This lesson made me play better instantly. The 3 and 6 steps apart notes is the hardest part I have to work on the most. This is minor so why does the major fifth chord work so well, I thought it has to be a minor chord?

    • @AlexFarranGuitar
      @AlexFarranGuitar  6 часов назад +1

      I’m so glad to hear that buddy! Often in minor keys, (as is the case here and much of jazz and blues), we’re talking harmonic minor which has the dominant V chord… it creates a stronger pull back to the tonic 👌🏻

    Thanks Alex I really enjoyed that lesson. I have been aware of triads for a while now but it is so good to be shown what you can do with them. The adding the 2 somehow made it easier for me to sound a wee bit more melodic and I had moments where it actually sounded like I was actually making music as opposed to a guy just practising triads. Thanks again just this one video will be a practice routine for the foreseeable future
    Cheers

      Hey buddy, there are so many great options out there nowadays and I’m kinda out of the loop (no pun intended), on which are the best. I think it’s hard to go wrong. I love the ease of use with the boomerang. It’s got no fancy features and it doesn’t have any internal memory, but I love that about it. TC Ditto and its various incarnations are a safe bet, as is the fancier Boss stuff or the EHX one.

      Thanks for asking! I have 4 tracks finished and about 20 ideas floating around. 😅

    Alex, if you can indulge me ... I gotta ask about that Novo. I'm pretty much sold on their guitars, and want to take the leap. But I'm wondering how you chose Miris vs. Serus? Definitely a different look with the binding, but I'm mostly interested in whether the semi-hollow makes a difference in timbre/warmth or anything else you might notice. Any quick thoughts appreciated!

      It’s a lovely guitar for sure, and the semi hollow is the one that stood out to me as it’s got a bit of everything going on. I wanted a 330 type of guitar, and I wanted a jaguar… this is like both combined 😅
      At some point I’d like to try one of their solid bodies with the tele bridge too.

    What chords did you play at that turnaround?

    • @AlexFarranGuitar
      @AlexFarranGuitar  День назад +2

      Any turnaround could work, some kind of F7 to E7. In this case I chose F9 to E9

    You play A-6 but dont talk about incorporating the 6 in your soloing. Did i miss out on something?

    • @AlexFarranGuitar
      @AlexFarranGuitar  День назад +2

      No, not at all. We didn’t focus on adding the sixth in the soloing. One step at a time my friend!.. it’s about priorities and there’ll be a part two, a part three and maybe even a part four to come! 😉😎

    Did my best to clip the practice loop (no looper pedal yet)... YT only allows 1/10th of a second, so not quite right. ruclips.net/user/clipUgkx2V8cble8XKi5a-uwHVsH7ZaC9vtXASKk

    I feel RIPPLED off, I bought this lesson on Gumroad to study your solo and all I got was stuff I already have many of your past lessons. You could have mentioned this at the start instead of halfway through. Very disappointed.

    • @AlexFarranGuitar
      @AlexFarranGuitar  17 часов назад +2

      Is this a joke? I said TWICE that the materials were 4 pages of roadmaps and shapes for all the ingredients used. And these materials were typed out for this lesson specifically, I don’t recycle or copy and paste my materials from one video to another.
      Tell me your email address so I can refund your £5 purchase. I don’t take money from somebody who has the gall to call me a rip off.

      The absolute audacity and stupidity of your comment. Shocking. This kind of attitude is not welcome here. Alex is the most genuine and honest musician and teacher on the internet. If you’ve not had the sense to listen or read something, that’s on you. Do better.
