I had an adult beginner come in with a sax intro tabbed out. His view was that there weren’t a lot of notes, so should be able to play it. Except it had a syncopated rhythm with some awkward fingering for guitar. It actually ended up being a better exercise for me to get out of the standard guitar shapes ha.

1:59 - Yes - music is ultimately about story, and story is about conflict & resolution, and floating freestyle out of the pocket for a few bars then locking back in creates conflict & resolution in rhythm just as much as the out notes create conflict & resolution in harmony & melody. See Chris DeGarmo's "Jet City Woman" solo for a great rock 'n roll example of phrasing that floats out of the pocket (though in this case there's no swing and it's just a banging straight eight-note pulse) then locks back in.

I appreciate this. A lot of newer players are not given the legend status they would have received if this were the late 60s. Jared is one of the most original and expressive players. He stands right next to Jimmy Page and Hendrix. This video shows that like Hendricks, he is fluent in jazz improve which is what made Hendrix stand out so high above all the British guys.

Jared primarily plays his signature Les Paul nicknamed "Old Glory" fitted with a single Seymour Duncan P-90 in the bridge position. In January 2019, Nichols unveiled his signature Epiphone "Old Glory" Les Paul. In 2021, Epiphone released a new iteration of the "Old Glory" Les Paul called "Gold Glory," featuring a gold sparkle finish. Nichols is known for his use of P90 pickups. He prefers vintage Gibson P90s, or new reproductions by Seymour Duncan.

Each time he destroyed the audience with remarkable performances, full of feeling and energy.
