  • This blazing Robben Ford lick that he plays on "Ain't Got Nothing But The Blues" was a game-changer for me. Filled with jazzy inflections, great tone and gorgeous vocabulary, I knew that this was the style of guitar playing that I needed to play from that point on.

    Sometimes you feel you are stuck in a particular rut and every time you pick up the guitar you play the stuff in different places on the neck! I find playing more complex chord sequences that change keys and then trying to solo over the loop until you know it inside out helps you discover new things.
    Great easy to understand video.

    • @JunkBondTrader
      @JunkBondTrader Год назад

      totally! I hate being in ruts. Sometimes just trying things completely opposed to your typical style is another good way to get outside of those ruts. I was disappointed when I went to your channel that you aren't the woman in your pfp lol... Is that a Bond girl or something? BUT, you have a Fender Lead 2! I was considering getting one over a strat player. Should I, or would you say just go for the strat? I already have a Casino and SG if that matters. Also the PRS silversky is supposed to be pretty nice... choices, choices.

    • @KRAZEEIZATION
      @KRAZEEIZATION Год назад

      @@JunkBondTrader Ha! Hi! That’s Britt Eckland! She was indeed a Bond girl.
      Regarding Lead 2, it’s a beautiful guitar if you already have a Strat but it’s pretty bright sounding and has only 4 voicings with the two pickups. The Lead 3 has 2 humbuckers and 7 voicings. The Player Strats are excellent, same neck is on the Lead series, but what kills them for me personally is the 2 point bridge and Pau Ferro instead of Rosewood on some models. I’d say try them all out if you can. Let your ears decide!

    I love your music and what you are doing here. I happened to see an interview with Robben Ford where he said that he learned jazz chords from the Mickey Baker jazz guitar books, which I think shows in some of his choices (e.g., the Am11 to A♭7♭5, which is one of the first things we learn in that book). Guess Who guitarist Randy Bachman was a student of Lenny Breau and Breau used the Mickey Baker books in teaching Bachman. You can hear the jazzy influence in "Undun" (a.k.a., "She's Come Undone").
