Jimi Page follows with DAD GAB tuning - sort of Indian. We can tune up with Andy real fast and are rewarded with D5sus4 chord is the sound the tuning makes - good harmonics and nice feeling available in this tonality. 5 minutes worth of Jimmy.
Buddy Guy is Next. Slow Blues soloing in his style in Eb. Advanced. Only three minutes. Ritchie Blackmore is next. Really fast modal lick. My hand hurts just looking at it. G Aeolian Mode. Eight note triplets. Andy breaks it down for us and opens a window into this classically influenced God Father of Heavy Metal. Learn the Ionian Mode first! Its also known as the Major Scale! In the West all scales stem from it. Thank Pythagoras who was an ancient Greek. One Mode at a time. It no coincidence that its also a 12 step program. It sounds good slow too!
ZZ Tops' Billy Gibbons is our finalist. He is last but not least. Andy wisely chooses La Grange and shows us how to play the rhythm and to get those pinch harmonics and all along the string too. The part not on the fret board holds many secrets. The part just above the 3 different pickups. But he has this guitar rig sound which sadly he doesn't explain how he gets on his ESP Strat. 4 min. Still its a great effect.
Basically Andy is so good he can play with or without a pick. Its a goal of mine to hybrid pick. Currently I can do arpeggios better. Buy Tres Hombres its got some real nice songs on it including La Grange which you can play along to and eventually learn. Jesus Just Left Chicago and more. I think I'll cue that up right now! I got my brown paper bag and my take home pay and done enough guitar related writing for the day.
