Pretty damn impressive here. It’s tough to play in the style of anyone other than yourself, but Willie is just completely off the radar. I can actually imagine him playing that exact solo on a tune. Well done, brother!

The intro is wonderful ! When I can sit-down a little longer this fall, I need to buy a set of new strings and learn to play like this. Thank you!

I love Willie's sound!!! He's a master of using chord tones in his solos; so musical and at the same time, unique.

Excellent playing . Willie's Guitar Playing is Awesome .Has a Style all of his own. Soon AS you hear the sound on Trigger , you know it's Willie

I truly appreciate you and intend to sign up after Easter. I will be busy until then. I find myself using nuggets I have picked up and I am grateful and ready for a deep dive. You are amazing. I have played for decades and always learn new ways from following you. I hope you see this!

Pretty sweet little groove. I like that you can leave as much space as you want while goofing off with this style

You make it look so easy. Even though I wrote down the notes and tried following them, it sounded nothing like how you play it. I hope I can get there eventually.

Willie doesn’t do or play things the same way twice or in specific timing as well. I find that showing some general licks and very generalistic styling of his playing is about the bed anybody can do to try and capture his style. He also incorporates a lot of Jazz techniques and augmented chords in transitions from chord to chord

Intro sounds nothing like WN. The syncopation is wrong, there’s no sweep picking, no harmonics or glissandos, no exaggerated bass line walks, and it is being played on a steel string. 5/10.

@mr.monitor. Жыл бұрын

Everything he said was fine. He isn't teaching a songwriting class. He gives you ideas how Willie built something like the solo on blue eyes crying in the rain. He didn't do anything complicated in most of his playing. According to Willie less is more when it comes to guitar solos. Willie has perfect pitch and a lifetime of musical knowledge and experience. tabs? 😅
