well it took him only a couple of tries. To check it out first is very normal... he played it technically perfect then. Still you can see both come from different genres musically :)

@alexjackson8841 2 жыл бұрын

@@mikealbert1146 I hope you're joking but if you aren't then you've missed the entire point of the video. Everyone knows that in terms of technique Martin can play anything, but he's a jazz/fusion player and Josh is teaching him (and us) how to make a blues solo really speak and mean something rather than just sounding like technical noodling. And I'm not saying that I'm on Martin's level by any means but you can really hear the difference between his playing, and someone like Josh or Kirk Fletchers playing when it's in a blues context.

@@alexjackson8841 i totally agree with you. I think the comment you were responding to was exactly what they were speaking about in the beginning of their conversation. It’s the ignorance of someone who hasn’t played with great blues players.

@SavijCoder 3 жыл бұрын

I remember seeing Josh a bunch of times when he was 12 or so at Cheers in Ft. Lauderdale. He would join the local blues band just to jam and I remember saying to my friends, imagine how good this kid is gonna be in 15 years! You could just tell, even back then. He was a super cool kid dressed in a cowboy hat and just went into character at the first note. Amazing! Thanks Martin, great interview! Hi Josh!

@sagig72 3 жыл бұрын

Martin and Josh - the best two guitarists I enjoy listening to. What a treat having you two together. My only hope is you invite Josh again to your band to do some more covers. The 'Sultans Of Swing' you had with Josh was phenomenal.

@chriskennedy2846 3 жыл бұрын

I agree. Sultans of Swing was how I accidentally found this channel and have since watched a ton of Martin's videos. Also love his videos with Paul Gilbert. And in this video, Josh's playing and advice was great and Martin's observations were spot on. Master Class x 2.

@joonasniinivaara5393 3 жыл бұрын

Oh man, this was the most inspiring guitar video I've seen in a long time! Thanks so much MM and JS! I know that this wasn't strictly intended to be a harmony lesson, but one of "those beginner things" that should be mentioned is the intermixing of major and minor harmony (as well as all those beautiful tones in between the major and minor third, accessible by bending) - its often times not just the overusing of "the pentatonic box" that makes beginner blues solos sound the way they do, it's the missing of the major (dominant) harmony - which is what I call most beginners playing "all icing (minor), no cake (major)", on "regular" blues.
