70s retro rock

I'd call a sweet solo. Really nice one, Robert!

I fully share Jim’s opinion, could be a part of a song from »best of 70s classic rock».

Please, make a lesson for us. I love the sound 👍.

Robert, I just had a look at your new lesson "Learn a melodic rock solo -  YL26" admiring your «new triplet» of camera, background and guitar.

All fits well, good illumination and congratulations to your new Gibson, sounds so great, especially with the Hendrix inspired double stops. Wow!

I appreciate your good explanations of the single licks with all the tips on music theory. Helps a lot in learning and getting a better idea how you arranged the solo 👍.

A very versatile mixture of pentatonic scale, double stops and triplets.

I love the new rocky and sweet sound 😊,

Birgit

Annotation: Perhaps you could choose a more «rocky, crazy» lamp in the background?

Thanks Birgit, what kind of lamp were you thinking? 

I could imagine white light with very slight variations in light level or even light that changes the color now and then, maybe depending on the color of the guitar you are using.

Robert, the quarter note triplets in bar 5 sound so good! But it’s the first time for me and I’m struggeling with the counting.

Meanwhile I get used to counting 8th note triplets as « tri   pe  let » very well.

But the quarter note triplets are rather tricky to count. I tried it intuitively, but it doesn’t work for me.

Do you have a tip for me ? I really want to learn the counting properly.

Thank you,

Birgit

Robert what a great lesson is YL26 – Melodic Solo!
I hope to learn a little of this, this are so lovely licks to practice.

Glad you like this one, thank you. Sorry, I'm slow at responding here, because I've been feeling a bit under the weather. But there is good news - I have taken my first vaccine shot. That's why I'm not feeling great, but it's temporary. 2nd shot in 4 months.

Birgit, take a look at this video. I think it should help. Once you get used to it and use it in your practicing, you'll eventually get the feel of it.

Brilliant. Drum videos... what a great idea for explaining complex rhythms! I like it and may save this video! 

I have on occasion played along with a metronome trying to skip triplet pieces. I find it extremely difficult... as I tend to wander back to the click as my starting point, no matter what. Time to revisit this again. Quarter note triplets have often been very difficult for me.

Thanks Robert... and Birgit!

I can only agree with Chris, this is the best explanation for me so far. Really good. Like a special little present.

It’s the first time, that I do understand (theoretically!) that a quarter note triplet is a combination of a shuffle figure plus the middle triplet.

Now the really hard work starts putting this knowledge into practice.

I will loop the sections of the video for special training.

Robert, thank you so much,

Birgit

I also recommend creating these note values in Guitar Pro, and looping it there, and using different tempos.

Saher Galt is a brilliant guy. He has amazing videos for learning music.
