Outgoing solo in Roseanna played spontaneously by a 24 yr old Luke is legendary.
They way i think of the outro solo is playing a Bb major arpeggio over the G minor – thus you are effectively playing G Dorian
Very impressive, Charlie, but it comes down to; appeal to the masses.
Amazing!! I'm always looking forward to your new lessons Charlie.????
Later on in your video you hit the key points. Learning by fret numbers is not adding value. Players should be able to know the note names instead of the fret numbers. That is how you properly learn note associations (triads). Otherwise it is just “numbers”. This is Luke’s (and also their great guitarists) real professionalism, having knowledge of theory that help expanding their playing and note choices. Even EvH had a classic background…I also think that is why the two of them were very good friends. Thanks.
Grew up on those VHS lessons.
That moment when you realize you've been playing it wrong for years! ????
Awesome! Are there tabs for that solo?

Steve's playing had a big impact on the direction of what I wanted to learn to play. He had a VHS teaching tape out at that time that was very helpful and also showed his great sense of humor. Thanks for sharing. ????
Excellent!!!
