I wonder if anybody realizes that this is the 'COMPLETE' guitar lesson. If I had not played guitar for 30 years, I would not know, but trust me guys, he is literally telling you the approach for the major scale arpeggios..!! thanks I need to know your name... so grateful!
I'm mainly a rock-metal player who's lately trying to approach to rockabilly and jazz. I find your channel very interesting and stimulating. This is a huge lesson, in 25 minutes lots of material and quite advanced improvisation concepts involved, still very efficient and clear explanation. I wonder how can anyone dislike this.. Congratulations! Great playing as well!
I must admit I watched this a long while back and sort of glossed over it. Then kept wondering why my pentatonic scale over the 7th progressions sounded so lackluster. Came across this video again and it was like someone turned on a light. It now makes complete sense. Thanks so much for this and your many other videos. Greatly appreciated!!
Just started thinking and practicing arpeggios, and these videos just nail it! Plus, he’s right to the point with no superfluous or excessive “blah blah” which is my pet peeve! 🎸🎵😎👏👍
Great video mate, thank you. I'm just getting started with arpeggios after being stuck running pentatonic patterns only for months. This has given me both a framework for practice i.e how to map a 1-4-5 progression in both directions from the e string root also some good ideas for improvising. Bending the flat 7 and toggling the major/ minor 3rd. I'll make a start! Thanks again.
Coming back to this finally and getting it all together. Nicely composed short solo here, Sir. Very well done. Such great practice for someone like me beginning to make progress on putting these arpeggios to musical use. Keep up the good work, Professor.
Your statement is very sharp and directly to the objective of making music. It makes me realize that arpegio which reflects the chord progression will be much more useful in generating music than learning any scales. Thanks for reminding me that. Otherwise, I can spend years and years of training without being able to make one single song. Actually I take my note book and sketch whatever chords and notes on your video. I believe that to digest your useful lesson will take me more than a month if I do it regularly. Cheers from Indonesia.
I'm working on my blues soloing over the basic 12 bar blues and I really liked your video. It does a really good job of associating the chords with the triad notes in the chords and also emphasizes the basic concept of using just the notes of the triad arpeggios for soloing. Linking those three things is really important IMHO.
Good stuff to learn, especially for thos who are trying to escape from the pentatonic box. Good exercises in which I´m trying to learn to the point where I can do them in my sleep. However, one difficulty of learning such patterns is that the similarities of them cause me to sometimes mix. Thanks for this tutorial especially as I´m trying to get away from just learning songs. Well explained.
100% correct in getting to this point then giving up, that's where I've got to a number of times!! Never managed to integrate it into my playing. Hopefully this time!
This is is! This is the video I was looking for and didnt know it! I’ve been practicing my major, minor and pentatonic scales & caged system like a boss, but wondered how to take my playing to the next level! Arpeggios for the win! Thank you!!!!
Yup, Adrian could have been an electrician... he has turned on so many lights! I have learned so much from these vid lessons... Adrian explains why these things work and not just what notes to play like so many other teachers do; he has a unique skill... Bravo! ^
Awesome stuff. After a few decades of playing guitar, I've come to realize it's much better to learn all the chord tone shapes all over the neck ( so you know where the chord tones are of the chord being played that moment) than thinking of what scale you're playing.
Hi Adrian - I've watched a fair few YT vids on dominant 7th arpeggios of late and your one, for me, leads the pack by a good margin. Covering a lot of territory with the various positions up and down the neck, plus that tasty, easy to follow, little solo. All up extremely useful. Many thanks, once again.
That has got to be the most interesting guitar I've seen in a while. It sounds great, of course, but I'm dying to know what the middle position sounds like and how the tone and volume knobs roll the tone. Edit: I made this comment before I finished the video. Thank you for thinking about giving a demo.
Really good lesson. I’ve been trying to learn to solo better and this was really a breakthrough maker me. Took about a week to really get comfortable with the arpeggios, but jammin since. Gonna try some other arpeggios
Great lesson Adrian, thank you! I like how you covered each of the different shapes/chords. That makes it a lot easier to not feel like you have to keep jumping all over the fretboard to find the root note of the next chord on a low string. The guitar looks and sounds great too!
This lesson will be very well understood after we are familiar with "CAGED" system. Everything will make more sense. However it will need a lot of time to make it our second nature on our fingers. But I am optimist this will bring us to the right direction with our musical endeavor. Cheers from Indonesia.
Hi Adrian, I knew this concept since twenty years - always found it to difficult.. it still is difficult but now you habe me the push to give it another try. Thanks for explaining so patiently, Cheers Bernd
Hello " Mr Music Man " . I happen to have caught 1 of your video's one day and so addicted since to your calm , cool , collective teaching technique's !!! Thank's again Adrian , can't get enough !! 🎸😎 🤔
Fantastic lesson! By far the best I have seen on this subject. I love working with boxes and this is exactly what I needed. Any chance of a similar lesson for the minor arpeggios? Keep up the good work!
Adrian thank you so much for your variety of videos and your clear detailed explanations of your interpretations. Cheers mate from Australia. Stay Safe.
I really like your instructions. In this tutorial, the best insight to me is the one way you demonstrate to connect them together during a chord change (instead of playing from the root note). I'm sure there are other ways for us to explore, but you show us where to start. The one thing I wish you had included is if you're not starting at the root, what are some typical melodic patterns to play arpeggio. Say, you stay at A7 vamp for 4 bars. What are the different ways to make movements instead of playing the same (or similar) thing 4 times?
Great lesson! The music is now up to me. That’s the hard part. I can play licks but putting them in context and musical is where the practice truly is for me.
Really good, substantial amount of very useful information presented in a well dosed way. Great lesson! Minor point for improvement: when showing for example arpeggio's against chord changes, it makes it even more clearer if you would have a looper with the chords on it. But that's a detail. Really enjoyed it, thanks!
make a lesson on how Clapton CREAM era used "dominant 7th TRIADS" and tritones in blues because he used major 3, flatted 7th often to create tritones for MAJOR blues
Loving that Shergold!! Another great lesson Adrian considering the guitar came with no stings attached?? Thanks for getting me off the up and down pentatonic escalator.
Man, Adrian I love your lessons and this seems like some great info, but I just feel too dumb for this. I can’t imagine myself getting to a point where I can instantly target a specific note in an arpeggio while following the changes and on top of that making it sound expressive :/ I’m so slow, it’ll take me a lifetime just to master the overlaying the 1 4 5 arpeggios in different positions. Wish I had your brainpower
Hi, I’ve listened like 10 minutes to this and don’t get it. It’s really boring. I’ve played guitar for 50 years and if you take the blues (that this guy is talking about) just listen to it and try to play what you hear. Maybe this concept works with very complex music but not with the blues. If you want a different approach of lessons that’s really nice go to Kirk Fletcher here on RU-vid.
