3 Al Di Meola Licks From 1976

Here's the next Three-For-All episode with 3 Al Di Meola Licks From 1976.
Al is yet another pioneering guitar legend as his solo material, various collaborations, and early work with Chick Corea's fusion supergroup Return To Forever quickly made him a musical force to be reckoned with and highly-respected player at the same time.

The musical respect surrounding Al and his music is the stuff of legends, as he directly inspired countless famous guitarists, including a young Edward Van Halen many years before Van Halen hit the scene.

This lesson takes a look at a number of aggressive phrasing and playing from Al's glory days with Return To Forever, and takes a peek at some ideas from a live television appearance from 1976, which captured Return To Forever in its legendary form, with Al on guitar, Stanley Clarke on bass, Lenny White on drums, and Chick Corea behind the keys.

The performance itself is unreal and literally documents the shining musical star that Return To Forever was during the 1970s, and the ideas captured in this lesson will surely challenge your technique with some unusual phrases, rapid-fire licks and runs, with plenty of other things to notice and grab.
