These solo ideas are advanced, but I know you got this!!! Here is a link for this FUN backing track to improvise with. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KEj854x2zEA.htmlsi=OB5UXvvIdOmDGJT9. Thanks for all your support everyone✌️
Every solo you do is a masterclass of timing and subtle transitions between chords Rusty. It sounds effortless and natural, but when you break it down it's a finely wrought machine.
Love your lessons . Being able to see yourself playing and getting this down . I love your sound . This sounds what we once called Southern Rock. I appreciate your teaching .
I like this video. I've been playing 40 years but I have to play alot of your videos at .25 speed to understand, and repeat many times. You are one of the youtube greatest guitar teachers, perhaps the best. Providing the tab is a big plus for my comprehension. Keep up the great work.
Hi, Rusty I hope you read this. Quick back story. I’m primarily a bassist, who later in life, has decided to learn how to do more on guitar than jangle out a few R.E.M. songs with cowboy chords. I’ve FINALLY learned CAGED, the pentatonic shapes, arpeggios and, at last, get the fact that, as you often say, it’s all right there in the chords under your fingers. Rhythm and lead are all really one and the same. I’m sure you’ve heard this 1,000 times, but I would like to add my personal thanks. This type of lesson is GOLD. You appreciate the simple, core fact that, as a novice in the world of CAGED/pentatonics etc. there is a brick wall that you quickly hit when you realise that expressing yourself in a way that sounds natural, authentic, “bluesy”, “rocking” is not in running the pentatonic scales, but in the nuance of knowing the “other notes” from which to slide into them, bend up to, join chromatically, double stop with and on and on. That is why your slow, note for note breakdowns are a game changer. You are teaching the all-important “vocabulary”. Showing how to create the phrases that you want to say. That is the hardest part. Jumping from knowing a stilted pentatonic scale that “speaks like a robot” to being able to “humanise” it with the nuances I mentioned. And it takes in-depth, slow breakdowns like this one to do it. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me to begin to understand HOW to build my vocabulary. God bless you, sir.
I appreciate the comment bud!!! I like how you said that you hit a brick wall! I do hear that a lot. The most important part of guitar playing is the rhythmic phrases. So I’m glad you are getting something from my videos. Thank you for the kind comment. I hope you have a rockin weekend.🤛
Haven’t got a guitar with me because I’m on a holiday in Sicily.. what I get from this tutorial is dat you start out playing 1 st 2 nd and 3 rd position minor pentatonic in G and then with the chord changes to C and D you’re in 1 st position pentatonic of C and D climbing up to the first position G on octave higher so that one starts at the 15 th fret … and some major runs combined with some tasty double stops to get the story going …. Really nice 👍 if you like stop by .. I do have a new vid out and from sept 1 st weekly new songs … (with guitar solos 😅) thanx for this one ☝️
Just a great lesson. Thank you so much for your patience in explaining the phrases you are using. I find watching your breakdown of the solo in detail is so much better than trying to look at tablature. Please keep doing your videos when you get time as they are much appreciated.
Thanks a lot! It’s so much better learning from someone that’s actually playing the guitar than looking at tab. You get to see all the small things that actually make it sound like music. I appreciate the comment John. See you soon.👍
Great lesson Rusty and a great solo I’ve been playing this all morning and replaying the video numerous times I really enjoyed it, sounds basic but it all boils down to making the licks flow together with ease, one thing knowing all of the pentatonic positions another thing mastering the ability to make it all flow together with ease, it’s just practice practice and practice…exactly the same as a dance routine, you can learn the steps but only looks good if you make it all flow together …thanks again Rusty and best wishes from the UK
Awesome lesson! Hello Rusty, this is Doug from Denver, I’ve haven’t touched base in a while as I’ve been going through some personal losses this year. Lost my Father in January and my Mother just last month. It’s good to see one of your lessons again, I always look forward to it and I just wanted to say hello and thank you for all your amazing lessons! 🎸🎶❤️
@@rustysguitar1 Good Morning Rusty and thank you. Loss is tough, but I suppose it is life’s greatest lesson…. has taught me to let go and to forgive. Once again, thank you Rusty, I love your passion for the guitar and also appreciate the fact that you’re one of the nicest guys out here teaching Guitar! ❤️🩹
Freaking awesome Mr Rusty that opens so many doors vs just minor pent alone , great teaching sir in a easy to understand way so we can actually put it to use
Rusty this is your diamond in the ruff and then some, this is a Halogen light bulb moment. Will be working on this now and over the upcoming long holiday weekend. Thanks for taking the time on this one!!
I love it when a lightbulb goes off! That means we’re having some fun on the guitar! You got this!!! I hope you nail this solo. Have a rockin weekend.👍
Great lesson Rusty!! Some really nice licks and I love the way you create an actual solo and then break it down very clearly and relatable. Keep up the good work my friend. Talk to you soon!!! 👍
Dude , I'm gonna spend some time on this video , This is roots stuff from when I was young but it's foundational stuff I tend to forget when I'm doing heavy stuff . Thank you Rusty :)
Hah! This is really such a great lesson Rusty, thanks for doing this. It really reminds me of a lot of Southern rock & roll ( Skynard, Allman Bro’s etc… ). Thanks for doing this, I’m always looking for new ideas which aren’t overly complicated and just sound good! 🤙
I like JJ Kale also!!! This is such a fun style of Guitar. It mixes blues, rock and country altogether. I appreciate the comment, Jose. Talk to you soon.👍
This is really great stuff and appreciated. One suggestion- teach the solos exactly as your playing them and then talk about wondering off to thoughts. It got kinda confusing there on the C after the chromatic walk up to the C. Take a look and you will see what I mean however this is appreciated. And thanks.
If you combine Minor Pentatonic with Major Pentatonic and the Blues scale, you get 1-2-b3/3-4-b5-5-6-b7 (which is also Mixolydian plus the Blues scale).
Actually, I like to just look at the minor pentatonic and add a few major notes to it, like in the video. It’s easier to focus on one scale. But you have to learn it slow and then build up the speed. Thanks for checking out the video Tony.👍
Thanks brother, you're making my practice time more fulfilling and less (just) automatic. Guitarist have to keep an open mind and remain humble....(true story) I thought I was a smoking axe man until I ran to a 15 year old kid w/his beat up Tele that handed me a big helping of "humble pie". Appreciated.
Hi Rusty i am a new subscriber to your chanel and i have made you my number one guitar tutor, thank you for all your free guitar lessons, Dean from England, ps I always learn something new to add to my guitar playing 😅
Great lesson. This is way over my ability but I’ll give it a try. When you played the C7 and D7 chords, did you stay in G pentatonic or change to C then D pentatonic scales?
Thanks Scooby!!! You got this. Take it one part at a time. On the D7 I used a piece of the D minor pentatonic. But on the C7 I used the G major and G minor pentatonic. I did call that out in the video. I hope you have fun with it. Thanks bro 😎 I don’t switch scales very often. I like to stay with one scale and add notes to the scale to follow the chord changes.
This is interesting Rusty, wee bit more advanced but I think I can do these, thinking about buying a looper, after watching.this I'm convinced and going directly to Amazon online to look for a decent looping pedal 😂❤🎉 thanks Rusty, you are my man of the moment ❤
You got this Alan!!! Learn them slow, and then build up speed. I use the TC Electronic Ditto 2 looper pedal and I love it. It’s a great learning tool. I appreciate the comment. Thanks a lot Alan.🤛
@@rustysguitar1 you are welcome, I have the tc electronic wiretap, it's a great pedal for recording riffs and saving them, control by the smartphone app so I'll definitely check out they're looper Rusty 💙
You got this, my brother! Just learn those small parts at a slow speed and then continue to build it into a faster pace. I hope you have fun with it! It’s always good to hear from you Alan🤛
I’m doing well! Thank you for checking in. I will be doing two or three videos a month, moving forward. Trying to make some better quality content. And stay inspired.😀 I will have a new lesson video coming out Friday morning. Thanks again and let’s talk soon Bloozman!!!😎
