    I recently received a request to teach "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith in a private lesson, and to be honest, it's been a while since I played it. Upon revisiting the song, I realised I had never fully learned it, and what I did know required quite a bit of correction. It's worth mentioning again that it's not just our playing skills that improve over time, but also our musical ear.
    As I discuss in the video, when I was younger, I never quite mastered the second solo; it always seemed impossible or didn't quite sound right to me. Let me know your thoughts on how close I got this time.

    • @arthurblackhistoric
      @arthurblackhistoric 17 дней назад

      Yeah, and every year talented struggling musicians are pushed 32 places down the recognition ladder by the top 8 finalists in The Voice, America's Got Talent, American Idol, and X-Factor. Feel free to insert the name of your country in there, because it's the same all over the world.
      Those 32 people are handed careers that nobody can achieve on their own, no matter how talented they may be. Entire radio station networks have been set up which play ONLY the music from those TV shows! The machine just won't let 'em fail of fall. Guy Sebastian, the first Australian Idol winner from way back in 2004, has his new albums advertised on television!! What other artist could afford to have that level of money to spend on advertising? The biggest joke is how they've inked him up heavily with tattoos to make him appeal to the harder core viewers who might otherwise write him off for being such a metrosexual guy in the first place. So, for the past 20 years we've had 32 finalists from each year being loaded from the top of the ladder, rather than allowing the truly talented, but maybe not so good looking, acts climb the ladder from the bottom. Doing the maths will show that someone like me,. for example, has actually slipped 420 places down the ladder in Australia alone, and had any chance at all of getting somewhere reduced to nothing. I dunno about America, but here in Australia the chance of even making it into the faceless backing bands of these completely manufactured stars is all but zero because the same select few musicians work for all the acts Just like in Nashville. I know all this because a good friend of mine actually got the call to play in the backing band of one of the X-Factor acts, but they sacked him because he wanted to improvise too much to suit the guys running the tour. Everything's gotta be exactly by the numbers, otherwise they cut you loose.

  • @braddyboy82
    @braddyboy82 2 месяца назад +18

    In Joe Perry's book, he talks about how he is actually left handed but when he got his first guitar, it came with instructions on how to play it so he held the guitar as indicated even though it was for people who are right handed. He didn't know any better. I think that's part of the secret recipe behind Joe's playing, his lead parts always had a bit of a shuffle or boogie that was really hard (for me, at least) to figure out. In the solo for 'Dude Looks Like a Lady', this is really on display. His frethand has almost a rhythmic shuffle to it as he's playing lead. Hard to explain, but I think a big part of it is that his natural strumming hand is fretting -- and vice versa.

    • @SpedSpedding
      @SpedSpedding  2 месяца назад

      That’s really interesting and actually quite rare; Gab is left handed and plays right too. Just makes sense that she doesn’t have to buy everything again. Her grip is really strong and she doesn’t struggle with chord shapes as much as I did. I’ll keep an eye on her; Joe Perry licks could be flying out of the lounge any day now. 😂😂😂

    At around 7:38 when you talk about picking (up or down and when to use) is extremely helpful. I'm not a 'natural player' in terms of lead/solo work, but your little aside on this issue, and for this song, was very helpful. You touch on the up or down stroke many times over the course of your videos, but this one struck me as a bit of "a-ha!"- hammer-ons and pull-offs are basically equal in importance to up-or down-stroke. Thanks Sped, for helping this hack on his journey.

    • @SpedSpedding
      @SpedSpedding  2 месяца назад +1

      I'm pleased you found that useful! In my videos, I aim to address potential areas where viewers might struggle. Unlike in one-to-one lessons where there's direct conversation, I have to anticipate what different people might be wondering. While it's not always necessary to pick riffs in a specific way, often, passing the picking hand over, particularly during hammer-ons or pull-offs, can help maintain a smooth rhythm, which I've previously referred to as "the DNA helix of rhythm". I hope this explanation helps clarify things for you!

      There are numerous ways to approach it. Based on my observation of both live performances and covers by others, they often opt for the classic blues shuffle with an extensive stretch. However, as demonstrated in this video, I prefer playing it over three strings. Not only does it sound closer to the track, but it also requires less stretching.

    Nice Guitar work! I've worked out The solo to 'Adams apple'' To as close as I can get it, A track separator like Moieses really helps.. The entire Band was way ahead of their time, In particular I believe their first album to be an incredible often overlooked album in my opinion. As you stated Very unique guitar playing and approach from both Joe and Brad!

    If you're you're a Joe Perry fan you know but just in case you don't go find his rig set up for the Las Vegas residency. He was late in his 60s and the tech said he had like 8 or 9 amps on stage, mic'd, that ran to the back where he had this drawer of pedals, completely different than the tour before because i saw that set up, and then had a controller out front in two places (where he'd normally play and for the part of the set where he joins Steven closer to the audience) and of course all that got run to the house. Point is i have ALWAYS watched Joe Perry staring at that fretboard digging for notes, for sounds, and playing countless guitars. Fascinates me all these other professionals have their signature series and always sound the same but Joe has been digging since 1970 to always find something new and enjoy that journey and beat the monotony of touring that long literally showing us it doesnt have to just be a job. The fun never ends. Just keep playing. And all the while looking like such a badass. Long live Aerosmith man. Damn. What a freaking career. Love those guys.
