Reply #176 - May 24^th, 2010 at 10:55am Very well done Mel, I didn't know it was that scale (C major pentatonic) what make is you're guitar? I know it's a semi-hollow body.

Reply #179 - May 25^th, 2010 at 11:02am Well, you better remedy that -- quickly! Speaking of which, there's a comment on my SAL video asking for "If You Really Want to Be My Friend." I can't improve on yours, but it's not there anymore. Repost, please!

Maybe this is a weave, maybe not. But for me, it's a great example of two Stones guitarists doing whatever it is they do so amazingly together (as interpreted by someone else on You Tube):

Thanks Mel.

Those are a month old. Wasn't happy with them, can't get re-motivated.

I did get a new vid cam though. Went from 3 min capability to 2 hour capability.
That's why I tried play-along mode for DLS.

Just found this old, '80s-vintage instructional video by Harvey Mandel:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmZgGonFQ6E&feature=related

Chockfull of great licks. His "Hot Stuff" solo -- not discussed here directly, but you can hear the underlying theory several times -- is probably the most technically complex piece of instrumental music the Stones ever recorded.

Enjoy!

"Hot Stuff" definitely has some mean licks on it. Those funky scales - wish I could use them more often!

I thought I had it, but don't. Also, did you post Traveling Man? I thought you did, but couldn't find it. Thanks again!

Reply #186 - Jun 17^th, 2010 at 3:56pm Okay, I threw this together pretty quickly, if not haphazardly. Some of MT's work on "100 Years Ago": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDUZUg6P_Ow The money lick, in my opinion, is the D-Dorian thing he does at the end of the outro.
