He even talked about “whatever ERIC actually did…” He’s trolling us Mayer fanboys.

I was taught to always start a solo with 3 key things 1. Start Melodic 2. Don’t play too many notes 3. And don’t start on the root note. All good advice I’ve found

Curious on 3- which one do you tend to use if not the root?
@richardking7137

You can start on a different chord tone like the third or fifth

Yes but you can start on the root too there is many choices 🎸😉

@@PedroguitarbrAt 5:29, John says, “Obviously that was the tune, Layla.” And at 5:52 he says, “Whatever Eric actually did.” Either joking or maybe trying not to get de-monetized?

Your playing and command of the guitar is insane, mate! Expressive, beautiful in choice of chord solo work and ad libs as well as single notes, simply tasteful and musical beyond doubt! Wow, so inspiring! As far as how to approach these things: Anything you say, I buy it all!

This video exceeded my expectations . . . it wasn't some single formulaic answer, it was indeed valid as a way to make a solo fit the song.

Lol im literally trying to finish a video about tommy bolins solo on cobhams red baron and i say quote tommys solo first if youre gonna solo on this tune! Id say great minds think alike but my mind and my guitar playing are not as great as your mind or guitar playing! Did you mean Gravity tho? Im confused…thats not layla…its gravity, no? Methinks youre cranking out so many vids youre forgetting what youre actually shooting bruv?

Sorry, I don't hear Layla at all. I'm not even sure what key you are playing in. Did you ever even land on a root note? You're obviously running down scales, but I can't tell at all which ones. If this song is indeed in B (it probably is not), then are you playing B major, or what? I have played guitar for 50 years but have no idea what you are doing or why. Can you explain the process musically please for idiots like me?

It’s not “Layla.” It’s “Gravity” by John Mayer. He was kidding around.
