This is a great lesson. Like he said with just the 3 notes it puts the focus on to musical expression - the phrasing and feel, to connect the emotional reason of why you are playing to the technical aspect of learning, selecting and plucking notes. Too many guitarists get obsessed with speed and scale patterns. Done well, that is good too, but it can be oh-so clinical and dull and express nothing also.

What a fantastic lesson / concept! I often get caught up in shifting between scale shapes, doing runs, and/or blending between different scales, but something like this where you're so limited to just the 1 b3 4 (and full bend to the 5) notes really shines a spotlight on the technique. I'm going to start adding these limited-note exercises into my practice routines. Very good stuff!

Perfect. First tutorial I’ve watched where the tutor keeps it dead simple yet shows a number of techniques and variations including octave higher. As we all know aim at following your guitar hero - challenging ambition for me as my guitarist demigod is the humble brilliant versatile and original Rory Gallagher. But my other two guitarist exemplars are JJ Cale and John Lee Hooker so big ups for this chugging vibe lesson.

Just goes to show how important touch and expression is. I would rather hear this soulful solo any day of the week over those 'guitar hero' solos where they play their scales up and down as fast as possible.

One time, working for a traditional Country band lead by an elder, i was given the sign to play a lead. The leader smiled at me and said, "play it pretty son." This changed everything for me. Ever since I realized that shredding isn't music. Its guitar calisthenics, showboating. I now wanted to play musically, create melodies, improv. I got into the "less is more" style of playing.... and am getting raves. I also did that that wiith my pedal board... now I have 3 always-on pedals, and a volume pedal. I can do everything I need. Time to sell some pedals. Are you using a MXR Carbon Copy? They have a specific timbre and I think I hear it.
