I know Uncle Larry and Guthrie are all the rage right now, but guitar playing doesn't get at a higher level than this, and the explanation of what he's doing is much clearer. I would say the tone of that hollowbody is great, but he gets that tone with whatever he is playing. It's in his hands. Amazing guitar player. If you keep teaching this level of stuff this clearly, this channel is going to blow up quickly. I hope it does.👍

Glad you’re back!

Love your lessons and tone, thanks

Man, I deleted my question about how the D chord works in this progression (bc I wanted to phrase it better) before seeing your answer in my notifications. Got the info. Thanks for answering me!

Amazing. Love this Ford, so usable and practical. Hearing it over the looper is gold 🎉. Gives it context. Relative minor/major I get. Is the E mixolydian over D because of the flat 7 (D) in E. Wow sorry for the theory but I love the why behind stuff.

So good to see you back! Nice lesson Ford. Gonna get my Isley brothers on today and be king of Cincinnati Ohio and get the girl. Thanks for sharing brother! You Rock!

Missed ya buddy! Awesome player and teacher Thankyou.

Killer stuff. And great adding the context seeing in action like that.

"4 half steps down" might confuse some folks. Ford is including the note of origin, in this case 'E'. A lot of folks would refer to this as a minor third down, or the relative minor.. Great lesson Dude, and wonderful examples to emulate. The way you raced down the Phrygian mode over the D was brilliant, and worth noting. I've never seen material packaged in this way, So inspiring!!

Really great lesson, thanks Ford, will try it out ! 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥

Fun little chord vamp. Love throwing in the mixolydian lines with the other modes, etc.

Enjoy your practical approach. And you always have a great driven tone.

Thanks Ford! Always great info.

Good info

King of Ohio.....got it.....I once went out with the Demolay Queen .Thanks for this GREAT lesson .

Wow. You phrase so well. Love it.

Thank you Thurston!

Sounds like Ritchie Kotzen "Fool Around And Fall In Love"

right on man thanks 🔥

Thank you!

Amazing! Thanks Ford!

You break it down the best. Also, I don't have to watch 20 times to see where your fingers are. I get what you say when you describe what scales your playing over which chords. #1 teacher in my book!

Great..thanx

Basket of goodies 🙂

Towner Bar with that Bigsby!!!! 🎯🎯👏👏

will you ever do a guitar course with brett papa ? ... i have watched the 2 videos with the old gold top loads of times now and there is so much to take in . the one with the chords am , f ,c but used the c major scale and a blues , and the blues one with the funky drum beat track . i would definitely buy one of your courses

King of Ohio?! Haha!! I thought you were a Pittsburgh boy?!! Wait till that guy from Cleveland hears about this. 😜😜 This lesson is on repeat for sure. There is so much wonderful information here. Thank you, dearly, Ford!!

The older I get the more I realize that 90% of the time major and minor pentatonic will get you what you want

Neato

I'm a beginner level far as my soloing over chords and I sat with this for a while today, but overall I think I get it and the thought process of switching to mixolydian mode when the d major hits/because I guess at that point the chords make it A major. Anyway without trying to overthink it this was really cool to play along with and experiment going back and forth from the E major to the E mixolydian/Which by the way I;m still getting that scale under my fingers. Thanks a lot man/ Great stuff

No.1

Dynamite. Better than Buk. Thanks so much.

I get everything but the e minor over the D major. Why did you go there

Hey Ford.. so I get all this; you are just playing diatonically, right? How would you 'go outside' on something like this?

Awesome tone and skill!
