Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.57,0:01:02.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this lesson today,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.77,0:01:05.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we are checking out Eric Clapton's first solo,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.38,0:01:08.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from his song Crossroads, with the Cream band.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.09,0:01:09.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Awesome song all-round
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.56,0:01:11.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and some great solos later on as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.09,0:01:13.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For these first two choruses of solo that he plays
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.97,0:01:15.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we've got some really interesting stuff.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.48,0:01:18.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A lot of mixing up between the major and the minor pentatonic scale,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.17,0:01:20.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,loads and loads of great licks.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.17,0:01:21.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, what we're going to do...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.37,0:01:23.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Go to a close-up, I'm going to play it once through,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.09,0:01:24.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just kind of at a slow tempo.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.61,0:01:26.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So any of you fast learners can just kind of watch
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.65,0:01:28.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where I'm putting my fingers and off you go.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.01,0:01:30.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But then I'm going to try to break it down, lick by lick
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.61,0:01:32.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and explain kind of a little bit about what he's doing,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.90,0:01:34.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where he might have gotten the idea from,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.20,0:01:37.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so you can kind of chop it up yourself and steal the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.97,0:01:39.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,individual licks and improvise with them yourself.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.77,0:01:40.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's the plan.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.65,0:01:42.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, let's get to a close-up.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.73,0:03:09.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Lick number one
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.47,0:03:13.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And lick number two
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.28,0:03:15.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now both of these licks are quite similar.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.16,0:03:17.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is an A major pentatonic scale.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.80,0:03:20.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Very common to use this second to fourth fret,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.21,0:03:21.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,second to fourth fret,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.86,0:03:30.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the fourth string and the third string.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.92,0:03:32.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So really, the big difference here,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.36,0:03:40.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the first time it's a bend
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.26,0:03:42.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the second time he slides up from
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.45,0:03:44.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the fourth fret to the sixth fret.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.52,0:03:47.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Lick number three is staying with the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.41,0:03:55.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,major pentatonic.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.15,0:03:58.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's really here, five to seven...
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.93,0:04:02.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We might let those two ring together a bit actually.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.99,0:04:05.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Two five's.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.45,0:04:07.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Playing both five's and hammering down the
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.24,0:04:10.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,third finger on the seventh fret.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.29,0:04:13.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Five, seven.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.37,0:04:15.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now here we've got that little kind of minor to major thing.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.96,0:04:18.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Fifth fret to sixth fret.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.07,0:04:28.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,While holding down the fifth fret on the second string too.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.70,0:04:34.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And lick number four...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.33,0:04:36.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Straight up the minor pentatonic scale.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.48,0:04:38.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, now we've changed straight away from the
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.61,0:04:44.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,major pentatonic to the minor.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.54,0:04:46.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's an important bit, to get that.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.30,0:05:06.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, these first few licks together.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.04,0:05:09.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And all of that is of course played over the A chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.32,0:05:20.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now the band's moved to D and he plays this...
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.71,0:05:26.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Really like that lick, this is a great one. So...
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.68,0:05:29.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Nice bending, seventh fret.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.69,0:05:32.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Up to the root note.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.21,0:05:35.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Eighth fret, second string, bend.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.66,0:05:43.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, leaping off to the fifth fret to seventh fret hammer-on.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.62,0:05:51.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Love that lick, great.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.15,0:05:53.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is an interesting one as well, so we've got
Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.09,0:05:55.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this little hammer-on and flick-off.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.88,0:05:59.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To the A.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.93,0:06:03.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a little bit muted on the record, you go...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.60,0:06:07.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I always thought it was...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.56,0:06:11.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That he's bending and playing the E on the second string.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:11.18,0:06:13.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But when I was doing this transcription, I could
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.15,0:06:16.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hear that the E note and the G note, which is the
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.02,0:06:17.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,next one are ringing together.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:17.09,0:06:19.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you can only get that here.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.97,0:06:24.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I sussed out that it was...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:24.88,0:06:27.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, it makes it a little trickier, but it's a lot nicer.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.86,0:06:30.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you get that nice kind of...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.25,0:06:32.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Where you bend and then slide up to the same note,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:32.40,0:06:41.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so you've got...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.65,0:06:48.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's the whole lick.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:48.61,0:06:49.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Really like that one.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.99,0:06:54.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then we've got...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:54.14,0:06:56.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now I suspect, to be honest, this was actually just
Dialogue: 0,0:06:56.65,0:06:59.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,meant to be...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.02,0:07:01.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And a straight jump which is pretty common in a lot
Dialogue: 0,0:07:01.69,0:07:04.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the guys that influenced Eric Clapton.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:04.25,0:07:05.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But he gets a little...
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.81,0:07:09.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Where he's gone from the ninth fret to the tenth fret.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.07,0:07:12.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I suspect he's just kind of missed it a bit.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:12.45,0:07:16.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's a little step up there.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:16.13,0:07:18.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then we've got a little eight, ten.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:18.57,0:07:23.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's a ten.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:23.95,0:07:29.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then we're going to get back down.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:29.57,0:07:33.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We've got here a little eight to ten hammer-on...
Dialogue: 0,0:07:33.37,0:07:38.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,With an eighth fret on the thinnest string.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:38.85,0:07:45.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then a nice little run-down.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:45.55,0:07:47.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah and I always used to play that slightly wrong, but...
Dialogue: 0,0:07:59.17,0:08:01.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A little bit awkward how, 'cause we've got this little
Dialogue: 0,0:08:01.17,0:08:04.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,five-six hammer-on. Two notes on the note E, the
Dialogue: 0,0:08:04.61,0:08:08.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fifth fret of the second string...
Dialogue: 0,0:08:08.07,0:08:11.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we've definitely got a pretty strong curl...
Dialogue: 0,0:08:11.07,0:08:15.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not a proper bend, it's just a curl with the first finger.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:15.32,0:08:19.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To the root, and then the same finger has to jump off
Dialogue: 0,0:08:19.32,0:08:26.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the A and slide down to the D, the fifth fret of the fifth string...
Dialogue: 0,0:08:26.98,0:08:33.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he's playing the root note twice.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:33.51,0:08:36.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we're finishing that off with a very classic little
Dialogue: 0,0:08:36.84,0:08:42.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Clapton lick...
Dialogue: 0,0:08:42.62,0:08:54.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a real, proper Clapton ending.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:54.38,0:08:56.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mostly minor pentatonic of course, but we're adding
Dialogue: 0,0:08:56.89,0:08:58.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the little...
Dialogue: 0,0:08:58.45,0:09:00.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bit of major there.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:00.73,0:09:09.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Forming just an A-triad.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:09.20,0:09:12.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, let's have a look at that whole first section,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:12.13,0:09:58.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the whole first twelve bars. Here we go...
Dialogue: 0,0:09:58.25,0:10:00.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay and then after that, he kind of jumps up
Dialogue: 0,0:10:00.97,0:10:02.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the neck a little bit.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:02.33,0:10:05.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, he's got quite a leap on and he's jumping up to
Dialogue: 0,0:10:05.13,0:10:10.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think it's here, right? So, the thirteenth fret of the second string.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:10.19,0:10:12.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To the fourteenth fret of the third string.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:12.89,0:10:14.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He could be going...
Dialogue: 0,0:10:14.89,0:10:16.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or...
Dialogue: 0,0:10:16.60,0:10:18.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I'm not one hundred percent convinced it's up here.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:18.57,0:10:24.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's just to me, my gut-instinct, says it's this part of the neck. So...
Dialogue: 0,0:10:24.05,0:10:26.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thirteenth fret with a curl.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:26.50,0:10:32.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Fourteenth fret, then...
Dialogue: 0,0:10:32.05,0:10:34.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, thirteenth fret curl.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:34.88,0:10:36.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Fifteen.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:36.74,0:10:38.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Twelve.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:38.17,0:10:39.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Curl.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:39.96,0:10:42.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Fourteenth fret twice.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:42.72,0:10:43.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then to the thirteenth fret.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:43.57,0:10:50.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So...
Dialogue: 0,0:10:50.56,0:10:55.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Very nice little lick again, nice.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:55.60,0:11:03.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Using the A minor pentatonic scale. That one...
Dialogue: 0,0:11:03.07,0:11:13.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now he gets into using this, very very, again very Clapton-esque kind of..
Dialogue: 0,0:11:13.62,0:11:15.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now again, I'm not one hundred percent sure
Dialogue: 0,0:11:15.32,0:11:16.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what fingers he might use for that.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:16.93,0:11:19.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think he uses his first and second finger quite a lot
Dialogue: 0,0:11:19.100,0:11:25.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for this riff from videos and stuff I've watched.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:25.33,0:11:27.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, 'cause he's using first and second finger,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:27.09,0:11:30.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when the third comes down, to get that little slide
Dialogue: 0,0:11:30.93,0:11:36.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,back to the fifth fret, it's a real kind of a strong slide...
Dialogue: 0,0:11:36.90,0:11:40.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So...
Dialogue: 0,0:11:40.02,0:11:44.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sliding up to the ninth fret from the seventh fret.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:44.25,0:11:48.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Eight, nine. Eight, nine. And then third finger
Dialogue: 0,0:11:48.88,0:11:52.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is going to overtake it and slide down to the seventh fret.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:52.84,0:12:00.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Fifth fret.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:00.84,0:12:04.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then we've got the same.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:04.34,0:12:08.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But with a hammer-on from eight to ten.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:08.33,0:12:17.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then eighth fret with a curl.

Dialogue: 0,0:12:25.06,0:12:30.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we're holding the twelfth fret, and bending the fifteenth.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:30.49,0:12:34.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sometimes I'm convinced that it's just a single bend.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:34.96,0:12:38.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Other times I swear I can hear the two notes together.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:38.68,0:12:40.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, you have a listen and decide which one.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:40.77,0:12:48.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think it's the two notes together, I think, on...
Dialogue: 0,0:12:48.38,0:12:52.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,More of that minor pentatonic.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:52.34,0:12:56.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then...
Dialogue: 0,0:12:56.06,0:13:02.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Really nice sort of slow release from the fifteenth fret.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:02.94,0:13:05.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then we've got, our little Clapton-esque, little run
Dialogue: 0,0:13:05.72,0:13:11.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the first and second fingers again.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:11.49,0:13:15.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But with a slightly different ending this time...
Dialogue: 0,0:13:15.73,0:13:19.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also I think this time he goes...
Dialogue: 0,0:13:19.85,0:13:21.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He's kind of separating the notes. So, I think
Dialogue: 0,0:13:21.81,0:13:26.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he's going seven slide nine, eight, nine, eight, eight.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:26.38,0:13:31.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:31.57,0:13:36.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And here...
Dialogue: 0,0:13:36.50,0:13:43.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A nice little slide up there to follow the chord changes.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:43.13,0:13:49.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then we've got another nice bit.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:49.37,0:13:51.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A little, short slide up to the eleventh fret.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:51.78,0:13:54.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ten.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:54.36,0:13:56.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then eleventh fret again.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:56.26,0:13:59.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is now, for kind of a D. The chord has moved to D.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:59.49,0:14:02.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, he's playing off of this D-7.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:02.53,0:14:08.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Arpeggio.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:08.15,0:14:13.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then we're back to the root.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:13.75,0:14:19.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now this one, here we're back to A major pentatonic.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:19.78,0:14:25.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This note here is B bending to C sharp.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:25.17,0:14:28.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which is incidentally the same as that one at the beginning...
Dialogue: 0,0:14:28.73,0:14:30.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Is the B note bending to a C sharp.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:30.85,0:14:37.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,C sharp being the major third.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:37.00,0:14:40.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's of course saying "Hey, we're back on the A."
Dialogue: 0,0:14:40.13,0:14:42.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So just to clarify this a little bit more,
Dialogue: 0,0:14:42.45,0:14:47.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the lick before...
Dialogue: 0,0:14:47.54,0:14:53.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is a D lick. Right? D-7 arpeggio.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:53.29,0:15:00.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we're using those notes from the D triad.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:00.31,0:15:05.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then to say "Hey we're back in A." He's going...
Dialogue: 0,0:15:05.19,0:15:07.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Bending the B to the C sharp. Which is
Dialogue: 0,0:15:07.40,0:15:10.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,saying "Hey, we're back on our A chord here at this point."
Dialogue: 0,0:15:10.88,0:15:13.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, it's important to see that's kind of how those licks
Dialogue: 0,0:15:13.96,0:15:23.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are working. You know? He's following the chord changes.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:23.88,0:15:26.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now after that, he's got a little run-down there with his finger.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:26.73,0:15:32.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he finishes with a little...
Dialogue: 0,0:15:32.01,0:15:34.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Starting with the open D.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:34.98,0:15:36.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hammering second finger on.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:36.33,0:15:38.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Open G.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:38.83,0:15:41.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hammer-on and flick-off at the second fret.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:41.26,0:15:44.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Second fret, flick off on the D string.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:44.84,0:15:47.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Third finger, third fret.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:47.76,0:15:53.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we're back into the riff.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:53.44,0:16:39.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay that whole second part of the solo...
Dialogue: 0,0:16:39.06,0:16:41.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I really hope you've enjoyed checking out Crossroads.
Dialogue: 0,0:16:41.95,0:16:44.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I hope I didn't go too fast, I'm a little bit worried that
Dialogue: 0,0:16:44.70,0:16:47.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I kind of skipped over bits too fast. But I think
Dialogue: 0,0:16:47.20,0:16:49.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if I go through every single note and every finger
Dialogue: 0,0:16:49.88,0:16:51.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and every fret that it should be on, it's going to make
Dialogue: 0,0:16:51.76,0:16:54.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it a really long and tedious lesson for both of us.
Dialogue: 0,0:16:54.24,0:16:56.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I'm hoping that that was kind of a good tempo
Dialogue: 0,0:16:56.90,0:16:58.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for you. Please let me know in the comments and I'll
Dialogue: 0,0:16:58.80,0:17:03.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,try to fix it for future videos. It's a really important
Dialogue: 0,0:17:03.07,0:17:04.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thing to understand what was going on as well, so
Dialogue: 0,0:17:04.90,0:17:07.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if there are bits where I didn't explain whether it was
Dialogue: 0,0:17:07.15,0:17:09.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a major pentatonic or a minor pentatonic, have a
Dialogue: 0,0:17:09.28,0:17:11.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think about it. See if you can look at the notes that
Dialogue: 0,0:17:11.32,0:17:12.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm playing and go
Dialogue: 0,0:17:12.09,0:17:14.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Okay, does that fit with the major pentatonic shape?
Dialogue: 0,0:17:14.25,0:17:16.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or does that fit with the minor pentatonic shape?
Dialogue: 0,0:17:16.41,0:17:18.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, what chord is that being played over?"
Dialogue: 0,0:17:18.65,0:17:20.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because I didn't get into doing that too much. I think
Dialogue: 0,0:17:20.73,0:17:22.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's a really important thing for you to do. It would
Dialogue: 0,0:17:22.78,0:17:25.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be difficult for me to do it as well actually, verbally.
Dialogue: 0,0:17:25.65,0:17:28.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,By far the easiest thing is to kind of write it out and
Dialogue: 0,0:17:28.41,0:17:30.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then put your bar lines in.
Dialogue: 0,0:17:30.02,0:17:32.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you can put rhythms in that's a great, great skill.
Dialogue: 0,0:17:32.69,0:17:35.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Can't emphasise what a useful skill it is, to be able
Dialogue: 0,0:17:35.34,0:17:37.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to read and write rhythms. If you struggle with that
Dialogue: 0,0:17:37.81,0:17:41.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've got a book on that [wink]. 'Understanding Rhythmic Notation'. Hint, hint.
Dialogue: 0,0:17:41.49,0:17:43.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can go and buy that from the website.
Dialogue: 0,0:17:43.53,0:17:45.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, that will definitely help you when you're kind of
Dialogue: 0,0:17:45.13,0:17:46.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,writing a transcription of something. You know?
Dialogue: 0,0:17:46.73,0:17:48.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To write down the tab and then to be able to write
Dialogue: 0,0:17:48.48,0:17:50.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the rhythms above it. It will help you sort out where
Dialogue: 0,0:17:50.40,0:17:51.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your bar-lines are, so you know where the
Dialogue: 0,0:17:51.67,0:17:54.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,chord changes are. It will help you slow it down as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:17:54.38,0:17:56.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that's a really good little tip for you. Is making
Dialogue: 0,0:17:56.25,0:17:58.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sure that you write the rhythms down. I do it with all
Dialogue: 0,0:17:58.48,0:18:00.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of my tabs, when I'm tabbing out a tune,
Dialogue: 0,0:18:00.40,0:18:02.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or transcribing it, I write down the tab first. And then
Dialogue: 0,0:18:02.61,0:18:04.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I make sure I write the rhythm as well, because that
Dialogue: 0,0:18:04.32,0:18:06.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,means that I can learn a lot quicker, you know?
Dialogue: 0,0:18:06.49,0:18:10.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I'm sure that'd be helpful for you guys too.
Dialogue: 0,0:18:10.69,0:18:13.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So yeah, do a little bit of your 'harmonic analysis'
Dialogue: 0,0:18:13.86,0:18:15.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and make sure that you know where the notes are
Dialogue: 0,0:18:15.32,0:18:17.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from, where they're major pentatonic or minor pentatonic,
Dialogue: 0,0:18:17.35,0:18:19.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or something completely different. Which they're not
Dialogue: 0,0:18:19.16,0:18:22.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in this tune mostly. And make sure you listen
Dialogue: 0,0:18:22.77,0:18:25.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to it a lot. Make sure you get yourself a half-speed
Dialogue: 0,0:18:25.01,0:18:27.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,kind of player. That's a really, really, really important
Dialogue: 0,0:18:27.93,0:18:29.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thing when you're learning lead guitar stuff.
Dialogue: 0,0:18:29.64,0:18:31.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You used to be able to play along with the original
Dialogue: 0,0:18:31.39,0:18:34.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,solo at like fifty percent or seventy percent or
Dialogue: 0,0:18:34.25,0:18:36.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whatever you could handle. Because it kind of helps
Dialogue: 0,0:18:36.23,0:18:37.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you get the feel right 'cause you're playing along
Dialogue: 0,0:18:37.64,0:18:40.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with them and you know, I really think that's an
Dialogue: 0,0:18:40.73,0:18:44.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,important kind of thing. And lastly the other really
Dialogue: 0,0:18:44.23,0:18:46.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,important thing of course, is to make sure you learn
Dialogue: 0,0:18:46.05,0:18:48.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,them as licks. So learning the whole solo is great
Dialogue: 0,0:18:48.85,0:18:51.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a really good thing to do. But probably the most
Dialogue: 0,0:18:51.40,0:18:53.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,valuable thing you could do, is break it down into
Dialogue: 0,0:18:53.55,0:18:55.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,little licks and then you can actually use them in your
Dialogue: 0,0:18:55.24,0:18:58.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,own improvisations. And I think that's kind of the
Dialogue: 0,0:18:58.38,0:19:00.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,point of learning other people's solos.
Dialogue: 0,0:19:00.12,0:19:02.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For me at least, you know, I've taken that solo,
Dialogue: 0,0:19:02.22,0:19:04.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,learned it, stolen all of the licks that I really, really like
Dialogue: 0,0:19:04.80,0:19:06.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I try to use them in my own playing and I'd
Dialogue: 0,0:19:06.45,0:19:08.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,recommend you do the same thing.
Dialogue: 0,0:19:08.45,0:19:10.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'Cause that's what it's all about!
Dialogue: 0,0:19:10.40,0:19:13.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Have fun with that and I'll see you for another
Dialogue: 0,0:19:13.16,0:19:17.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lick solo song thing lesson stuff, sometime very soon.
Dialogue: 0,0:19:17.12,0:19:19.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Take care of yourselves, bye.
