One thing that is so great is that learning Hendrix style rhythm chops helps me follow more what Mayer and Vaughn are doing and where it came from in a lot of their stuff too. Getting the concepts down and transposing the ideas to rhythm playing in other keys fluidly at some point will be so nice.

So many players have drawn from thag bag of skills that this really can be something of a key to opening up other players styles, too!

I've been posting examples on other forums like this:

John Fruscianti from the Red Hopt Chilli Peppers also uses this stuff in tunes like "Under the Bridge" and "Dani California", too...

John Fruscianti, another guitarist I really like. Cool! I had not thought about him. Nor had I thought about Journey. That is Schon on that song?

The way you broke the concepts down and covered what is going on with the theory aspects really helps me to get it better. I love this "applied theory" style of lesson. I am probably just dense, but learning theory, then separately trying to apply it to stuff I am actually trying to learn is hard without the dots connected a bit for me. ;) :D

It is like learning a new program on the computer, it is much easier learning in an applied way on a project than in some class or from a manual for me.

P.S. That vid wants me to take another trip down to the city. My wife and I met some friends there for Halloween weekend in '06 and really enjoyed it.

Learning theory on the guitar is hard....the best way I know to really get students to internalize in in a usable way is to have them learn the theory on paper (usually the Guitar Fretboard Workbook) and then apply it directly to a piece of music like this...
