TRANSFORM!!! Your Guitar Playing Using This Exercise 

Rusty,what are you using to get that wonderful sound.

That was all killer, no filler! Larry Mitchell once said, “If they don’t like the rhythm they’re not sticking around for the lead” Thank you so much Rusty!

Anyone can fret and pluck a note …. Your inspiration on feel , rhythm , and making it music is the key 🔑

Nice lesson. Phrasing ideas, for me, are the most valuable lessons. I know some people avoid Music Theory, but I really appreciate phrasing ideas, specifically with intervals in the key.

Almost one hundred thousand people. Excellent Rusty . Thank you so much.❤

What an incredibly simple but effective idea!

Rusty you are a true master I am your grasshopper always well delivered thanks Rusty

That is great, nice practice of the strumming hand.I would like to see more of that examples of the strumming. Love your Lessons so much. Greetings again from Germany.

Rusty, we all greatly appreciate your lessons!

Over 40 years ago now in December of 1983 I firsthand saw Stevie Ray Vaughan play at San Diego State’s Montezuma Hall, along with about 200 or so others that night. He was THE FIRST guitarist I saw that could absolutely play rhythm and then jump right into lead so fluidly ( I’d seen Billy Gibbons and ZZ Top only a couple years before that & he’s another one ) . Those guys were in 3 piece bands and like Clapton and Cream had to play “ Double Duty “ to get those killer songs they had in their heads out in reality to sound so good . Thanks for sharing your gift with us all Randy , you truly are a notch above here on RU-vid. Appreciate all you do my friend.😎👍

Awesome exercise. Can easily lead to a song. Good stuff Rusty, as always.

What I notice is the nice space and groove 👍

Love that funky Texas style blues. SRV would dig it. Thanks for the suggestion Rusty.

I'm waiting for Sly to step in and start singing with the rest of the Family Stone while you're playing this, Rusty! This muting and funky strumming with single notes and especially double stops SRV style is a must-have technique!! Jim C.

Wow Rusty! This exercise truly amazed me. It's transformative and versatile. Thanks for sharing this impressive guitar practice session with us.

Great lesson and exercise...🎸👍

I've been working on improving my lead playing by incorporating more rhythm. This is fun exercise that will help. Thanks.

Oh yeah ...killer groove.

Sir, you are the Guru of less is more and simplicity rules...thanks!

You know I love it! Exactly what I needed but of course, you knew that.

Fantastic insight Rusty. I can just imagine Hendrix practising when I see this, and I believe he practised A LOT to get to where he did. Thanks!🙌🎸👍

Now I can't go to work gotta practice this!Thanks Rusty,great stuff!

Oh yah, makin it funky.👍

This is Great lesson . It sounds great. I love the G minor pentatonic .

Always outstanding content. Your videos have transformed my playing in all honesty. Thank you.

I was the 1000th thumbs up. Was fun watching the odometer turn over

I can confirm that this method makes for excellent practice. Been doing it for years. You can create so many rhythmic patterns to solo between, and in every key. Keeps it interesting because it's different every time you pick up the guitar if you just start playing a groove from scratch. That's some tasty playing, Rusty, and another great lesson from you, man!

Fantastic, Rusty! You are a Godsend.

Your lessons are awesome, very useful! Exactly what i was lookin for. Tnx man, you're a legend❤️🤗

Fantastic Rusty!

Thank you!! 🐻🎸🎼🎶

Excellent Rusty !!!

Love your tutorials..Much appreciated..thanks

That guitar sounds really good. So does the playing, just sayin

Another awesome lesson and your set up sounds great , love the tone . Thought that strat was a 62 reissue or something until i noticed the modern hardware . Looks and sounds really cool 👍🇬🇧

Great tutorials guitar happy day

"Good tone is heavy and tough to carry." Nice work, sir!

This is Golden! Thanks man

Great exercise Rusty..........just wondering do you ever use stacked triads and if so what do you think of it? Thanks Paul from Ireland

You have been listening to SRV! another good one Rusty.

Another superb presentation Rusty 🎸🎸🎸

Would really appreciate a lesson on various ways of picking through the first position minor pentatonic scale - starting from different notes, parallel notes, string skipping, different ways of making musical statements, melodic runs.

How does one create licks with the scales? My biggest obstacle is thinking about what to play. I can listen to a rhythm part and learn it within a few times hearing it but can't seem to create any licks with the pentatonic or major scales I know. I can't seem to get out of that hole.

What a great lesson, merci Rusty. I've been spending more time on the piano recently, Burgmüller. But his first piece in Opus 100 is a pentatonics and scales song. My teacher is happy since I've been transposing it into all the keys. But in the song there is a part where you play the V of V, and I just realized that I can use it to modulate or change keys (I need to learn the difference, next lesson) withing the song. That will give it more continuity. This looks like the same principle. But that is for later on, I need to just sit down and practice this to get the basics. I've bookmarked this video also.

Yep kind of addictive, in a good way. It all appears to be kind of CAGED. (Pun intended.)

Chop chop chika chika boom boom pop 😂 come on baby sing me that song

😁👍

Could you do a video on how you get your tones?

Man that strat has a great tone what amp are you using?

nice. ill keep this in mind. youre makimg me want a fender strat lol

I would totally pay you money for an online course.

Do you have an order of videos to watch that helps an intermediate player put it all together?
