Danny is using an octaver to get his guitar sound. I put one on my shopping list as its sounds pretty good.
All right the guitar lesson itself starts with Solo number one. In the style of means these are solos Danny made up. They sound pretty good and use a lot of the same techniques that Ritchie himself likely used. You, however, may want to start with the Rhythm and Scales sections.
Actually no not the scales section because if you don't know your scales halfway decently already you really have no foundation upon which to build. That wont stop you though will it? You figure you can still glean a tip or two and some idea of what it really takes to play guitar at his level. It takes years of practice and hard work. If, in your enthusiasm, you don't want to believe me, Danny himself says so in the lesson.
There is really no point in analyzing the 3 solos in depth. They are pretty good. A lot of it is what I call solo by the numbers and "make sleepy work" There are some cool things for sure but are we ready for them? If somebody gave you this as a gift does that mean you shouldn't watch it? Of course not but depending on your place on the path to guitar legerdemain it may leave you more confused than amused.
I am sure if you have some foundation and watched this enough times you could pull a lot of cool licks of it and that's what I hope to do in future. There are scales and modes we could be better at and it will take some effort. However you also need a scale book. With a scale book you quit being in the dark and a lesson like this a lot friendlier.
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
