nice David!!!
well done!!!
Some player that Buckethead isn't he? I have one of his tracks faved up at YouTube - great tune called 'Nottingham Lace'. Big tribute typa thing to Hendrix, with his own stuff in there of course. Have to dig out a few more.
Yeh some of those lesson licks are on the banjoesquey side alright - is that a word ?
another good blue grass, but more banjo esque, is Buckethead's "Hog Bitch Stomp" which is done using finger picking and sounds back woods whacky if you ask me.
re: MickeM/"Diary of a madman"
Great album that!
Well I was careful to mention at the start that it was more in the feel and area of Bluegrass/Mr. Atkins, and not an exact copy of his style, which is indeed ... well it's Chet innit .
I like the lesson.. just not exactly the best representation on Chet Atkins style of picking, which is FAR more complex. Then again, you've got to start slow.
Good lesson
I miss Chet:(
i like bluegrass.
also the fast bluegrass like buckethead does
Very good lesson! I just got to learn how to do that simply because not knowing this stuff at all it will improve my playing a lot.
And for anyone in doubt about Ozzy, listen to "Diary of a madman" from the album with the same name.
Awesome, great job.
It's my cup of tea - and I love it!
Absolutely brilliant! Great job David!
Eric Johnson - yes! I just heard Manhattan for the first time a couple of weeks ago and it blew me away
Hey thanx guys. It was a fun lesson to do! Ok it is heavy on the Bluegrass vibe for some I'm sure, but that right hand picking exercise in vid 7 is useful to learn finger picking to suit any style I reckon.
Like even at another extreme, a heavily chorused fingerpicking intro for say an Ozzy sorta song, where a strong righthand is essential - I find this exercise is a great way to get something like that under your fingers.
I've even used it for practicing some bits while I was watching T.V . It's great for "programming" in a pattern you need, or are working on.
On the Bluegrass subject, anyone into Eric Johnson out there? I think he's a fine player and overall musician. The reason I mention him here is that he's actually a huge Chet Atkins fan and incorporates a lot of this "style" into his stuff. So it can be changed around a bit.
Can't ever see Ozzy playing Bluegrass Country to be honest though, but ya knowharimean !
D
Not my style at all, but i like how you fingerpick.
Man this is just cool, this is why i love GMC, i just got done Learning some Speed Metal riffs, and now i can go straight into some bluegrass, excellent lesson man, great sound and excellent fingerpicking technique.
This is a really cool lesson, the sound is incredibly blue grass. I also love the way that you finger pick
Thanks alot
Not my cup of tea...but good job
