      This is absolutely true. Most guitar lessons are just exercises or licks. Which have their place of course. But so many lessons leave out the foundational stuff Steve teaches here. Vibrato, string bending, strumming and rhythm work, etc

    • @Flipada
      @Flipada 6 лет назад +4

      Two of my favorite guitar players are Yngwie and Gary Moore. I agree they have one of the best vibratos I ever heard. In fact, Yngwie has always been accused of only playing fast, but many don't realize that he has one of the best vibrato rock playing on electric guitar. That brings an incredible feeling to his solos.

    • @darkbluebossa
      @darkbluebossa 6 лет назад +2

      Yeah, many people think Yngwie is only a guy that plays fast, and even I get tired of too many of his notes. But he has a beautiful vibrato and guitar sound, two of the things that made him ahead of all his imitators.

He just jumped me up a few hundred notches. Amazing guy...thx so much! I just wish his fretboard was easier to read. Can’t ask for everything, just really be happy for what we got.

    I'm going to be honest here, these have so far been kind of...rudimentary, there hasn't been something that's actually been useful for me, for me personally stressing on that. Like I'm kind of tired of just basic lessons, would have loved to see something on fretboard visualization, composition, picking, scales and approaches to them, and scale breakdown and application based on specific song structures. But yeah what do I know.
