Love this backing track and especially that great solo at the beginning! Great tone and choice of notes. To make your lead playing more fluent and efficient, try using alternate picking instead of ony down-strokes.
Thanks for the comment Dash. The red dots are the root notes, which for this track is E. These are very strong notes and are good to end licks on. The black dots are the other notes of the E scales, so you can play any of the dots in the diagrams, the red dots will just sound stronger👍
Hello, I'm looking at your Les Paul and see some wonky binding. Could you possibly be playing a Chibson or another off brand? Gibson USA would not let that binding leave the factory.
Hi Mike, that is an interesting comment, I hope you are sitting comfortably. I bought the guitar from a Gibson dealer in the UK and it was brand new, and cost me a big wedge of cash, Gary Moore had just passed and I had sold some gear so the money was there, but it had to be a sunburst standard with epic stipes(in the right lighting this LP looks stunning). After a long search this was the only one I could find, so I walked in took it off the wall and said I`ll take it now, willing to except any shortcomings as I would have had to wait 6-9months if I ordered one. I have heard Gibson have had patchy quality control and the high E string does pop of the fretboard very easily, I have not noticed the binding but will take a look. I have all the paperwork from the factory but will check the serial number, I think you can check online now. If it is a fake I could always try to sell it to Trogly's😉
@@fusedguitar9507 I ask because I have 2 authentic Gibsons and 1 fake. The biggest difference is in quality control. Gibson would never let my fake out the door. Dull tooling poor sanding and wonky binding. The fake guitar isn't bad and actually plays nice but it's NO Gibson. Even though it says Made in USA and serial numbered, it's a fake...
Hi Mike, you were correct! not a real Gibson, well spotted👍 Am I crushed about this? no, this is down to my own lazy approach to life. The guitar is my lemon drop replica made by Vintage of the Greenie Les Paul, I was too lax to even check the video when you posted the comment. I do own a genuine Les Paul you might spot in some of my other videos, that is the one I was referring to in my previous answers. That binding would not leave the factory as you said. That Vintage is an absolute dog by the way, terrible quality control.
Thanks for the request, yes you can use it for non commercial use. If you contact me via my "about" page for this channel I can send you a file, it will sound better than ripping it from RU-vid.
Thanks for the comment. This is a mistake in the description, if you play the C# minor pentatonic over this track it will work. So if you move the G minor pentatonic shapes down six frets you will have the C# minor pentatonic scale.
I know some people like it, but I’ll never listen or share a backing track where the dude solos at the beginning. Turns me off so I turn it off and look for another one.
Thanks for the comment Rogerio. Because of the spread of the intervals in the pentatonic scale you can use the minor pentatonic over major progressions and the major pentatonic over minor progressions. This progression is in E major so for most of the solo I use the full major scale then at 1:00 I use the E minor pentatonic/blues scale, and it has a more bluesy sound. It takes practice to get it to sound right and to pick the right place in the progression, usually I just try it out and see what it sounds like. Stevie Ray Vaughan made much use of this.
