Matt Scofield

I was looking to pinch a few Matt Schofield licks and came across this video of the intro, first and second solo from What I Wanna Hear. Looks to be pretty accurate and has nice close ups of the hands. He also manages to coax a great sound from a little Yamaha amp, fair play to him.

Love Matts playing.  Who ever is playing this certainly captured his feel.

I've been meaning to upload a couple of Matt covers on my You Tube channel. Great feel, hard to replicate!

When you do post them on here it'll be good to see other songs/solos that he does.

Yeah I will. I've bookmarked this thread.

He's a massive influence on me. I've spent ages transcribing some of his songs!

nice lyrical player, good on melody, vocabulary and articulation though I hear him do the pull off and bend/scream lick at 3.18 a lot :-) though I don't care as I love it .. hahaha.. - and I am always pleased he doesn't use his little finger much as I lost the use of mine on my fretting hand.. I love his style...cracking tempo playing... Id like to see him play live...and there are few guitarists I say that about these days...

You will be blown away. His tone is monstrous. He plays a lot cleaner than you think, his amp is very articulate and he uses that exceptionally well. A lot of players just cannot handle the clarity , its far too revealing of poor technique.

Jaysus I might go. Worth a trip across the channel to see him I reckon...
