Amazing rhythm and licks, just super hard to figure out all the subtleties in the licks even after watching over and over again at slow speeds. Wish you could tab these licks out to make sure I’m practicing it correctly. Then again, I guess whatever feels and sounds right works right?
This cat is so good. I gotta start studying him.
What a great video. So many great tips in 5 minutes.
This is fantastic. Very useful. What pickup position are you using?
Josh…You. mentioned Steve Cropper for funky, in-the-pocket rhythm playing. Steve has ALWAYS been one of my favorite guitar players! Years ago in an interview, Steve was asked why he didn’t play more lead guitar. He replied (something to the effect) that when you take out the rhythm, it’s like the bottom of the song falls out, because the rhythm is the glue that holds everything together. How true…how true…
0:56 Today’s “pop music” is “real music” only in the sense of it being real in an alternate reality. Pop music “breathes” in the same way you can live through a computer game avatar.
This a bad boy right here…right hand is kickin
4:24 … Josh Smith got it from Robben Ford, and Robben Ford got it from the Mickey Baker’s Jazz book (ref: ). Perhaps sales of that book have increased since that Robben Ford interview on Youtube. When an accomplished musician tells the story of how he started, then that’s very encouraging.
Never underestimate the downstroke. Love this.
Damn Seth Rogen got good at guitar.
Wow. This is some serious shit. I’m loving this. I’m getting busy
Oh man 😍 thanks for this ✌🏼
Telecaster 1960?
Great lesson. Focused on left hand “what to play”. How about a lesson Josh on right hand when laying shuffle 12/8
This is the sh*t! I’m sending lesson to a friend. All about making feel great.
You are very, very, good.
Such tasty ways of turning a shuffle in a pure enjoyment Thanks to who ? To Mr Josh Smith of course !
