Members Mike McLenison Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 This is uncanny. This guitarist died 3 years ago, but I'm speechless after viewing this lesson. Stick with it to the end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdHLZ2fysPA&NR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alndln2 Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 I'm having trouble with Active-X/Flash and don't want to deal with it anymore. Could you at least mention the guy's name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alndln2 Posted December 18, 2006 Members Share Posted December 18, 2006 Originally posted by Mike McLenison Shawn Lane I had a feeling that's who it was. He had a band with ex-Mahavishnu bassist Jonas Hellborg. Excellent player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted December 18, 2006 Members Share Posted December 18, 2006 His playing strikes me as... calisthenic. I was intrigued by the informal 'instructional' clip where he talked generally about his techniques. (His invocation of the term "bebop," I'm thinking, didn't apply to his theoretical/harmonic approach so much as his fretboard technique. But maybe I wasn't tracking that properly.) I'm afraid I was decidedly unmoved by the performance clip from Sneaky Pete's. I kept waiting for him to apply his somewhat prodigous dexterity to a little content... Still, you can't judge a guitarist from a couple clips. I'll have to check out some more at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what happens when the untalented practice too much, and there was a flat nine over dorian IIm7 as a non-chromatic approach . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mike McLenison Posted December 19, 2006 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2006 I especially liked his diminished riffage. I can see his speed being applied as an occasional ornament, -but what an ornament to have that at your disposal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted December 19, 2006 Members Share Posted December 19, 2006 You bet. And his little explanatory vid got me thinking about a number of things, too, from technique to teaching. I appreciated the informal approach, just a guy talking about some of the ways he approaches music, which I think is always interesting and can sometimes be really helpful to someone along the way. You know, those kind of informal discussions with other musicians (usually more experienced but sometimes not by all that much) have been really beneficial to me over the years.
