I learned this solo for a gig and loved the rhythmic phrasing and rock-guitar nuances. It ultimately got cut for underscoring. Oh well!… More…
This is a lick inspired by #183 in Bert Ligon's "Connecting Chords with Linear Harmony" and is attributed to Bill Evans. … More…
This solo comes from a live D’angelo concert released in 2012 by okayplayer on Soundcloud. (https://soundcloud.com/okayplayer/dangelo-live)… More…
Here Isaiah solos over a chorus of Bill Withers's ‘Lovely Day.’ There are so many creative and wonderful ideas throughout. … More…
I love this short cross-voice exercise from Jan Jakut. He's got wonderful a fingerstyle approach to electric. Keeping these quarter notes held out is a bit tricky in places. I wanted to turn up the reverb… More…
Though the song is from '97, I first heard it on radio in 2014 while visiting San Antonio, TX. The intro guitar riff hooked me right away, and I loved that I couldn't find the downbeat until the bass kicked… More…
I think of this riff every time I play a standard B minor chord at the bottom of the neck. I thought it'd be good to take a moment and actually learn it. More…
I like this simple idea from Peter. Rhythmic authority that'll well compliment any spoon. More…
Plugging this Josh Turner lick into 'New River Train.' More…
Slick gypsy blues ideas from Corsican Trio. There's something sneaky about this tune! Love the chord ideas over the minor ii - V in bar 6. Kind of looks like C#m7b5 going to F#13b9. However you get there. More…
I know from watching interviews that Benson likes to side-step to other key centers when he's playing the blues (or anything.) I noted any triads outside of this A blues above where I heard them with text.… More…
Far-out lick from Mr. Moignard in "I'll See You in My Dreams." More…
Good old pop guitar playing on this 1986 tune. Guitarists Johnny Colla and Chris Hayes. How about that pre-GoPro music video? More…
This is a bit of a note-to-self. While working on a Bill Evans transcription (see the original) I found a nice way to lay one of the passages on the guitar. More…
A favorite solo of mine from Benson's 1967 record "The George Benson Cookbook." More…
A snippet from George's Danny Boy, partially inspired by trying to make the guitar sound like a bagpipe. Beautiful inner-voice movement and rich chords within. More…
This is one of my all-time-favorite breaks. From Adrien Moignard's "All The Way." More…
I've never really tried a shred chop before. Nearly got it. It's way fun. More…
Practicing this great Jubu Smith groove with Landon Jordan. Still working on getting the right snap! More…
Mashing together licks inspired by Benson, Payton and Sharkey. More…
