      No shit. Can’t stand when it’s like “4th finger third fret etc…….”

      The les is definitely geared more towards experienced players. If you’re inexperienced/ beginner this isn’t for you. Learn the fretboard and the notes. It will help you tremendously. Cheers

    I am 70. I stopped playing guitar to raise kids for 35 years. Started again when I was 60. When I first looked at these two solos, I thought I could never learned them, but with some time and your "expert" lesson, I am getting it down......I am very happy. Thank you very much for the best lesson on RUclips by far.

      I'll be 69 in a few weeks. I've owned guitars since I was a teenager but I would sometimes go for 10 and 15 years at a stretch without taking them out of the closet. I got the itch again last year this time and I've really been trying to learn this time. I still suck, but I'm having fun buying gear again. lol.

    I have loved this lead all my life (now 54) and always wanted to learn it. As you say, it's all about the feel and you play and teach it so well. You have given me many hours of pleasure learning each lick, then slowly putting it together. I am truly grateful that people like you (and RUclips) for sharing your talent and allowing others to benefit. I may only be able to play a few songs, but I enjoy feeling as though I could one day play as cleanly and with such feeling as you do and the masters like Carlos. Many thanks!

      Amazing!!!
      I've been learning from this teacher for a few months now. Today he did a live chat reel of clips of all the great songs he's taught. So I scrolled down his video list to see which was his first lesson and found your comment.
      Not only do we share the same name! but with different spelling, but I ALSO have been playing for 52 years! However, four years after your comment makes it 56 for you!
      Amazing coincidence!!!
      Rock on....
      PS I fully agree with your comment and JB is only my internet handle.

I've seen others who show you their way. Can't just trust anyone to show you how it's really done. Many thanks....

  • @dwkimmons
    @dwkimmons 7 лет назад

    Here's the real deal. You are the ONLY guitar teacher that is actually playing each note and chord in exactly the right place. Note tones are dictated by what string the note is played on. You are the ONLY one who gets it right!!! That's called LISTENING to the music. That's what truly makes an instructor in this kind of teaching. Good Job!!!

  • @jerryalbee5144
    @jerryalbee5144 9 лет назад +1

    Like you said, Carlos has so much expressive feel in his licks. Some people play really fast but it's very robotic, and other players copy that like it's some kind of achievement. Music is all about expression. Thanks for the lesson, one of my favorite songs. Very well done.

    What a spot-on lesson for a song I've always wanted to master lead on! Thanks so much for breaking it down. I'd always skipped a few parts with phrasing to get more speed, but I see from your example that it really pays off to take the time to learn and play them right, period!

  • @thomascroce4672
    @thomascroce4672 4 года назад

    Tremendous. I have to completely retool the way I've approached this for 20 years but it will be well worth it. Thanks so much for sharing. And you are so right about Carlos. He is not just a great player but a "stylist" and he communicates so well with economy. I true innovator and creator, in a league with Hendrix, EVH, Billy Gibbons. Abraxas is a true timeless masterpiece. I saw him 4-5 years ago at Foxwoods in CT and they killed. Started with a big band/percussive Latin fusion instrumental segment for about 20 minutes and then played the entire Abraxas album without interruption. 8000 people went absolutely nuts when he finished, sounded like a stadium full of 50000. His wife Cindy, who played drums with Lenny Kravitz for many years, sat in on a few numbers, and she can really hit 'em too!

    You know what you are talking about and teach in a way that is easily understood. I couldn't agree more about "feeling"the music" and expression. Anyone can play notes, but you have to be able to "feel" what your playing to be great. Thanks again!

    Oh lord - nothing like realizing you played this iconic intro in the wrong position for 20 years. The opening G>F pulloff/trill, the D>E slide and the descending figure sound much better down where you play them around the 7th fret than up at the 12th where I did it - maybe I figured I was going to wind up there eventually. No one ever mentioned it. At 90 decibels maybe it didn't matter. Great tone - nice control of your bends. Thanks!
