FredUMC Sunday Sermon

  Keith Wyatt looks over a remarkable career as a blues/rock guitarist, composer and educator. Keith was in the the second class of GIT and went on to spend over 30 years there as a member of the teaching facility. Over that time he was a key player in the development of video-based teaching - his recollections of working on Yngwie Malmsteen's first REH video are hilarious - and curriculum at GIT. Keith talks of playing with his heroes - Albert Collins, Mick Taylor and Jack Bruce - and an ill fated run of gigs with an unpredictable Ginger Baker. Keith has been a long time member of the iconic band, The Blasters and is now running Artist Works Online School of Blues Guitar.   Guitar Speak Podcast Links Subscribe and find previous episodes at:  iTunes or Stitcher Visit us at www.guitarspeakpodcast.libsyn.com Follow us on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter    

"Swan Song" By Pastor Keith Wyatt Since Amber and I have been away, the podcast has been on hiatus, but we wanted to share Keith's last sermon at FUMC with everyone. The podcast will return to regular updates on 7/8, and most of the sermons since our absence should be posted. Thanks! -Danny Lujan

Keith Wyatt discusses his books, DVDs, touring with the Blasters, and his gear, as well as elusive subjects such as ear training. This segment includes lots of examples of Keith’s playing.

With more audio excerpts from the Blasters, Keith Wyatt talks about his BOSS pedals and classic effects such as tremolo and slap delay. Keith also discusses teaching at MI and practicing along with metronomes and drum machines.

Keith Wyatt explores the Memphis sound from the axe of Steve Cropper, who was the guitarist for Booker T and the MGs. First, he fleshes out the rhythm part of the classic Green Onions' by adapting the keyboard counter melody to go along with the bass line. Then, on Fig. 2, it's time for nasty, grits-and-gravy funk, working a bass line with syncopated chord figures. Relax your right arm, Keith encourages, and go for the pure soul.
