    The analogy between horn players, singers, and phrasing on guitar is spot on! If you've just caressed our ears with a beautiful line, then the pause just adds a sense of anticipation for what's to come next. While I appreciate the skill involved in 'shredding', listening to you phrase a solo is like listening to an engaging conversation, or even poetry. It feels like I'm being communicated with, rather than being talked down to.
    The only kind of pause I don't enjoy is the pause between your RUclips posts, but believe me when I say I'm eternally grateful when you find time to post a new lesson. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us! Stay well and have a great week! Still the BEST!!!

    You have such a peaceful way of playing and explaning: just listening to you makes all stress melt away. The breathing (of singers and horn players) was the icing on the cake in this lesson: what a beautiful concept to use on any instrument!

    This look at phrasing must be the best example on RUclips, ever. Jack has a way of illustrating this concept in a way that just makes perfect sense. Thanks.

    Jack, just awesome advice. Sit in the pocket, let the groove move you, and don't get in a hurry. Vary the dynamics and throw in an unexpected note or tone every now and then. The nine minutes and 44 seconds I just spent with you have already dramatically improved my playing. Thank you.

    Great lesson, Jack. I'm a relatively new subscriber (you can thank GT for me being here), and I'm learning so much from your fantastic teaching style. I have noticed on some of your newer videos (like this one) that the depth of field of the camera lens, or the Bokeh is a bit strong, and the fretboard isn't as in focus all over the neck as it could be (as it was in older videos). I know I shouldn't be saying this kind of thing for free content, but I just wanted you to know and to be the absolute best you can be. You are awesome, Jack, and the best content I've come across in many, many months. Thank you.

    Hi Jack!!! Such a long time looking for this kind of lesson helping me to structure my solos. Such a nice introduction to these concepts! I wish you do more of these! I think lot's of us know our pentatonic...but -in my case- i was stuck in the "road map" to give sense to what i play....(do not know if you understand what i mean! ^^ )
    Anyway...thank's so much for the lesson and your time you give us all!

    Any good exercises on how to practice hitting chord tones on strong parts of the beats?

    • @jacksguitarplanet
      @jacksguitarplanet Год назад +1

      1. Play backing track 2. Start with only chord tones (1, 3 or 5) on the strong part of the beats (one per bar) 3. Slowly add other notes in between
      Do not move on to #3 until you are comfortable with #2. I hope this helps.

      You could have a double-necked guitar, with one neck going left, and the other going right.
      I knew a guy who used to string his guitars upside down. It was floating bridge stuff.
      Not sure what you're asking exactly, though

      @@holysmoke8439 oh, I see... you want to retrain to reverse hands! I knew an ambidextrous player, and I remember badgering him how he learned, and he was proud, showing it off, but basically just shrugged. Not like I was going to learn, anyway. I can't help there. Django might be my favorite player of all time, and he had use of 2 fingers and a thumb on his fretting hand. I wish I could be a better help - sorry to hear about that, and good luck.
