This is my attempt at one of my favorite A7X solos and one of the hardest thing's I've ever played in my life! It's still a work in progress...enjoy! (I had to improvise some bits as my strat doesn't have enough frets to get everything in the solo haha!)

Happy World Mental Health Day guys
I know us creatives get hit hard with these struggles, especially with the state of the world right now.
Just know that thing you're stressing over will work out and that you're only human. Check on that friend that's been a bit quiet, even check on the strong friend, and speak to someone if you need to.

Take care of each other x
So after my rant yesterday, I think someone was listening...we got another email today and after a last minute switch my band's song 'GLUE' will air on Made In Chelsea S20 E2 on MONDAY
!
Learning the hard way today that the Music Biz can throw you a curve ball...My band were supposed to have our most recent song placed on a pretty big TV show and it ended up not making the cut for the Episode.
At first when we found out we all excitedly rushed to get signed up to various royalty companies which cost us £200 each - money that none of us really have, In the middle of a pandemic that has put Musicians and the Self Employed under immense financial stress as it is. Defeated isn't the word!
Apologies for the rant, but I feel I can do it more safely/anonymously on here
So today I learned that it's really really tricky to tastefully improvise for 3 minutes straight and not cringe at some of what comes out
'Music Theory Bragger'?
Here's the video, guys! let me know your thoughts or anything that's unclear
Been working on a video this afternoon called 'Add COULOR to your Sweeps' It should be up here soon once it's finished processing!
My band dropped our new single called 'GLUE' today - here's the lyric video!
My band's new single 'Glue' is out now! Check it out
If anyone's up, my band are doing a live stream on Facebook to launch our new single! Come check it out
He who makes a Legend out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man
Vibing out to this legend today
Been learning the solo in this song recently (1:17) It absolutely blows my mind that Bireli Lagrene just improvised this!
So I was just teaching a private student not to think too much while improvising & I realised that I suffer from the same hesitation in some parts of my improv with 2-5-1's if I start to concentrate too much!
I decided to just sit with my guitar and force my fingers to continually play without thinking of where to go next - some interesting note choices to say the least, but putting that bit of pressure on really puts you to the test and helps your hands think on the fly
My band are live now on facebook! Go check it out
Been in a total jazz mood today, so I've went and filmed a short video on a fun Minor 2-5-1 hack I like to use. It shall be up soon!
My band did a social distanced cover of Jimmy Eat World's 'The Middle' feel free tocheck it out!
If you want to feel truly limited as a Guitar player, try and jam along to both choruses in this tune I feel personally attacked! (Spoiler alert: The 1st Chorus is in Eb Lydian and the 2nd Chorus is in E half b Lydian)
Jacob Collier just casually trolling Equal Temperament again
So after about 3 years I think I finally understand Negative Harmony This lockdown is allowing me time to completely nerd out and I love it -
