edgybones :
I thought you did a very good job on giving that lesson. Pick patterns are where its at and you rocked. Nice!

She’s hot !
realbluemeanie :
For a beginner, looking at instruments that may not be immediately obvious is a great idea… Fender, gibson and co really dont excell at beginner instruments, you really can be loaded with a real piece of crap…
Yamaha give a lot for the money and maybe even try some of the lower mid range ibanez…. Beware the cheap wammy bar in general though… tremeloed guitars at entry level will seldom be any use and defo wont keep tune when you use it.
Good luck!
screwbushcomegetme :
yes best suggestion get a piece of crap and learn basics if your serious enough and continue and find yourself playing every day go out and buy a 500-1000 dollar one or the best you can afford; If you wait a little while your ears will get accustomed to hearing tones better then you will probably be able to identify the better sounding guitars/ or even better do like i did and get a guitar teacher to help you go pick one out. If you got time to play you will choose a guitar over a woman!

geebizzle38 :
if it’s your first guitar and it’s you want an electric, I would say a Fender or Squire Stratocaster if you can’t afford the Fender. They’re pretty light and have a bunch of tones you can mess around with. Not to mention they have whammy bars. everyone loves a good whammy bar. lol
magma9999 :
I have a EG523SC takamine and it’s just awesome. about 500$
brandon4brandon :
Actually,
there’s too
much treble.
wtfuffa :

musicmantrev :
jeez lol thats some violant strumming.
mwright165 :
i think she’s hot
neurojammer :
probably trying to make that crappy hole-mounted pickup sound better. Why not just a use decent little pencil condenser placed within a couple feet of the sound hole and 12th fret? Her voice is obviously mic’d. Why can’t the guitar be properly mic’d as well? Or if you’re producing a “pro-level” teaching video, why not have a guitar with a built in mic, like a Taylor w/a Fishman pickup & mic combo, all mounted inside the body? Much simpler with far better results.
ventiti :
it isn’t actually a mistake
… she doesn’t have to worry about the strumming, it comes naturally
they are not mechanical processes, that’s why she has to think first
Amazing lesson for me, a beginner
thankz
TatorTot1234 :
that is basically the same pattern for time of your life, the green day lesson they had. the non arpegiated version
by the way i dont know how to spell arpegiated
evTom14 :
yup
evTom14 :
theres barely any!
quickshotproductions :
Its not the reverb, just the tone is a bit not right for my ears. But its not a vid on how to make a guitar sound good, so its fine
Motownisyourtown :
Too much reverb!!!!!!!!!
wachman :
i think it might be so with at least classical guitar, but when playing rock, blues, and many other genres of guitar based music, reaching over the neck w/the thumb is actually REQUIRED for proper string bending. besides i see almost all of the legends play this way and they seem to be doing just fine.
wachman :
probably one of those pain-in-the-ass capo’s
bucketheadman19 :
dude this is helping with some of my solo’s it sounds really crisp
PFulton1989 :
so.. why don’t you upload some videos to teach ppl if your so amazing?
Danml1984 :
Great lick to build up speed. Very nicely explained too. Not quite sure what the last comment is all about tho. Out of time. Your always get people who are jealous of other peoples talent.
HighZombiesRule :
These really aren’t blues licks, more Eddie Van Halen-nish than say Mike Bloomfield, or Mick Taylor.
MrAlfredocolon :
@medra1980 thanks about the heptatonics thing. but i get what you mean now.
medra1980 :
No, the blues scale from its basic is a hexatonic scale i.e. a minor pentatonic with an added tritone, there is also the blues pentatonic scale which consists either of I-IIIb-IV#-V-VIIb or I-IIIb-IV-Vb-VIIb and scales with 7 notes are called heptatonics not septatonics
MrAlfredocolon :
@medra1980 yea it is but the blues scale for some reason is called the scale with a tone before it. so a blues pentatonic is really a different kind of hexatonic. the hexatonic blues scale would be a septatonic ( i dont even know if that exists or if its ever called that but whatever lol ) you get what i mean right
medra1980 :
the blues scale IS a hexatonic scale
MrAlfredocolon :
@medra1980 thats the blues scale so it adds another note to the scale which is the blue note
tcinpa37 :
yeah, you are.
jameswp1946 :
The Blues scale is the pentatonic scale (5 notes) with an added ‘Blue note’, in this case F#, hence 6 notes.
EasyTricker :
exactly. thats the way i was taught, other people might say differant though
medra1980 :
so if you add the word “blues to it” it always automatically adds this augmented 4th / dminished 5th to the original minor pentatonic scale I – bIII – IV – V – bVII ? I never did music school and teach guitar myself (got these things from books) , but if I remember correctly this is just called “the blues scale” and not the blues pentatonic scale …
EasyTricker :
this is just called “Blues Pentatonic” othing fancy like hextatonic, but yeah it has 6 notes even though its pentatonic
sweatyray1 :
pathetic !!!
medra1980 :
I thought a pentatonic scale was built up of 5 otes? Isn’t this the hexatonic blues scale in Cm?
conombnm :
If your fingers are getting caught under the string above you should lower your action. Take it to a shop if you can’t do it yourself.
carlitos07way :
i doubt that. to a certain extent yes but with what im talking about not at all. think about it. how does the amp affect the action? its about the guitar set up
demo6989 :
its all about the amp my friend
carlitos07way :
ok how is his action so low and he doesnt get fret buzz???? mine feels like an acoustic, i cant even bend up cuz my fingers get caught under the other the strings above and i end up plucking them and it inevitably sounds like crap! also a strat.. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
clanstead :
I’m childish!
anonymous668 :

acecalumkl :

clanstead :
“And we play this lick on the g string”
