Seeing Is Believing

This lesson, released on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC80JJZ1RRZ5bxEiphLVi_Jw?view_as=subscriber, is the finale of the first three mini video lessons with which we are kickstarting our conversion to YouTube from an audio only format.  The audio for these formats is much more organic that the edited audio only lessons, so we apologise for the farts and whistles which you may or may not hear.  We have decided that in the interest of publishing more regular material we will maintain our recorded lesson in it's entirety.

This lesson is all about Eric Johnson's playing and what we can take from it with regard to speed, fluidity and legato - our current topic.

In this lesson, Dan helps me out with some planning for a performance I have been asked to do for my sister-in-law’s wedding.  I am performing several songs at the front of their service some of which they have chosen and some of which they have asked me to come up with.  As there is a delay on publishing our episodes, this comes after I have actually done the performance and it went very well, particularly because of Dan’s excellent advice and suggestion to use a looper pedal which I followed.  In the end, the performance was of the following songs:
1)	‘Something’ by the Beatles: Played while the wedding party awaited the arrival of the bride
2)	‘Textbook’ by We Are Scientists: Played as my sister-in-law walked up the aisle
3)	‘Pretty Ugly Before’ by Elliott Smith: Played while the register was being signed
4)	‘I Don’t Want to Know’ by Fleetwood Mac: Played as everyone left
Most songs were played using my Boss RC30 to create a long loop, then some layers added to this on the fly along with some melodic playing and improvisation.  On ‘Textbook’ the Looper was not utilised but I used reverb, chorus and a bit of delay to build the atmosphere.  The acoustic amp I use is the Marshall AS100D which is great and has an effects loop with the downside of being very heavy.
I the lesson Dan demonstrates some mixed lead and chord playing, which works very well (when he does it).  He gave me lots of useful advice and we’ll return to this in part 2 when I take along my RC30 to gain some input on how best to use this in the performance.  Dan, as always, is very generous and helpful in his advice.
