 I have ANOTHER NEW GUITAR to show you. A STUNNER! I just love it and I honestly don't feel worthy having it. I hope I'm wrong. 😀

Robert, if you are not worthy I don't know who would be!!!  I am now definitely  going to attend the lesson to see what it is! 

Peter Green solo. I'll play a bit in this style today.

More of an emphasis rather than a question......Roberto keeps preaching two things: 1. Record yourself and 2. Keep jamming in time with his backing tracks!

I'll leave #1 alone for right now but I must say that jamming in time.....solos to any of his soloing courses and up to speed........no matter how much we believe we've got his solos down, even the ones that are 12 bar in the key of A........you don't truly have these under your fingers until you can deliver and have these sound great and in time with all nuances and bends and vibrato!! Next to a completely live scenario, this is one's true test!! Jim C.

My new Les Paul specifications:

1960 was the last year for the original Les Paul Standard, nearly identical to a 1959 model except for a few specs. Most notably, it features a fast-playing slim neck profile, beloved by the many famous musicians who played '60 Bursts including Eric Clapton, Joe Walsh, and Paul McCartney. It also has "reflector" Volume & Tone knobs and wider "double-ring" tuner tips. The Custom Shop 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a clone of the originals from the hide-glue construction to the chemically re-engineered plastic parts. Each one is built with extreme care, reverence and attention to detail by expert Custom Shop craftspeople who are committed to providing an authentic vintage ownership experience.

Dang! I missed it... I will watch the archived copy. 

Congrats on the new guitar!

Robert, just watched in the archive yesterday’s live stream video.

Until now I've never seen you - with a guitar in your hand - happier than in this video with your new Les Paul! A vintage beauty! I really like the tone with the 2 pick-ups.

How you play Peter Green‘s solo „Too bad pt. 1“ sounds so cool and tasty.

And I really appreciate the whole bunch of information for improvising: telling a story, repetition: coming back to the first statement more than once. To add a lot of extra notes. And the combination question (minor scale) and answer (major scale). Really good explanation.

And all the information you gave us regarding your announced Bb solo: that the solo will have more chord changes. And the more the chords change the better simple licks will sound. I learned a lot.

And thanks for the jam track.

Birgit

Thanks everyone! 

For the live streams, I take extra time to go over details pretty deep. I repeat information on purpose, with the intention of making the information stick. That makes the live streams a bit long sometimes. I hope it's a good approach for you as a viewer. I would love some feedback on this if you guys would reply back.

The other I discovered yesterday, is that I was basically learning myself, live! Now I think this is a great approach for my live streams. I'll try it again NEXT YEAR hehe. I'll pick a song or solo, and I'll learn it myself and teach it to you at the same time. I'll preview and prepare a bit before I go live, but I forget quickly so I'll end up re-learning live, with you as a viewer, and then I'll explain it all in detail for you. I'm thinking is a fun and productive way for both myself and you guys! Let me know what you think.

After I get my new Bb solo course ready, I can provide you with Soundslice and licks breakdown for this Peter Green solo, if you like? Any takers? 🙂

@robert

Robert, the answer comes fast!

Repeating information would be great, as you say  « making information stick ». I watched a few of your former live streams and each time I could take home very useful details on music theory, phrasing and so on. See the details yesterday in the live stream : the combination question (minor scale) and answer (major scale). I never had thought about it before.

Secondly, you learning a song/solo/phrase and teaching us at the same time and explaining all the details, that would be a really great idea for the coming year.

@robert

Soundslice and lick breakdown for Peter Green’s solo would be great.  It’s such a cool and tasty solo. I‘d love to learn it 😊, step by step, depending on my abilities.

Birgit

You guys could give me suggestions on songs/solos to cover in live streams, and I'd pick the ones I'm most comfortable with. 🙂

@Robert, really fun, educational live lesson yesterday.  Thank you!

I agree with Birgit on this.  I would love to see a specific lesson on this with tabs, etc.

Secondly, which of your lessons available now do you think would help me most with vibrato?  I really need to work on this technique.

Thanks again for the great live stream lesson yesterday.

@robert The cool sliding chordal single note effect or whatever different John Lennon does on the Beatles tune "Don't bring me Down"!!! This is obviously an entirely new and cool way to handle chord changes and compliment playing with a great keyboardist!!  Tex Schramm

@robert I asked about a course that would help with vibrato (above).  You responded with a course about vibrato? 

What?!?!  You think a course about vibrato, titled "Vibrato", might help with my vibrato!!! 🤔 🙄 😲
