Fusion made Easy - Playing out

[lordloligator]

:45 to :58 is exactly what i think everyday

[RadioActivityMusic]

So when are you releasing your EP.

[Wallimann]

@RadioActivityMusic You can get my two first albums on ITunes, or on my site davidwallimann(dot)com Thanks for asking!

[83928374]

awesome info - and laughs. I think i get it, so you are saying that when you went to the banana, that brilliant piece of cake was before the pineapple's brother flew chimney to bird, and g burns tide upon climb to pit. is that it? ... no seriously you are great! thanks for the well delivered and performed info.

[Wallimann]

@83928374 Thanks so much!

[hendrix0is0lord]

This is seriously awesome! thanks heaps!! it's just what i've been looking for anymore fusion tips or lessons i can have a look at??

[Wallimann]

@hendrix0is0lord Thanks! You might be interested in my "Playing Chromatic" lesson on guitarplayback(dot)com

[hendrix0is0lord]

@Wallimann thanks i'll check that out! I also have another question about modes...Should I learn every position of each mode?

Because all i know is the first position of each.....thanks again Wallimann!

[Wallimann]

@hendrix0is0lord You don't HAVE tom but it will give you more ideas and options.

The video pack helps with that too.

Check out my Map tracks on the site too, they really help with developing fretboard knowledge. :-)

[redlinebam]

Nice freen screen! haha

[murdechoc]

nice approache! could try this, and a good hint to give guitar courses

[OVProyect]

Very Usefull and funny dude keep it up!

[Wallimann]

@OVProyect Thanks for watching!

[D1vid3By0]

Dude i love your lessons! You are a brilliant musician!

[Wallimann]

@D1vid3By0 Thank you very much!

[ludicrousspeed82]

Very nice! I was trying to imagine what types of "fills" you'd do with a guitar and I wasn't getting anywhere. The second I heard you do it everything made sense. Thank you and great lesson! I'm definitely subscribing!

[Wallimann]

@ludicrousspeed82 I'm glad you like this!

[wesmatron]

Did you follow me to the banana? ...and what have you done with my cake?

[triclone123]

Cool!

[MrCsabaBalogh]

great stuff Dave,,,,I went outside the garage:))....much easier:)....lol.........anyway great lesson!!!!

[NailsForDinner]

Awesome, awesome lessons. Normally I would just try to throw in some different modes and call it a day, but now my view's different. Thank you David.

[Wallimann]

@NailsForDinner Thanks so much!

[nimal0207]

Dude! Kewl... like the analogy with conversation and playing! :)

[Wallimann]

@nimal0207 Thanks a lot!

[bishvilma]

very nice

[Wallimann]

@bishvilma Thanks for watching!

[mangasprai]

why playing random notes? what is the meaning?

[Wallimann]

@mangasprai It's a big aspect of playing fusion, using notes that are outside. It adds a different feel.

[mangasprai]

@Wallimann

yeah i try to understand, but hey, isnt random only.. random?

[Wallimann]

@mangasprai Yes, but the randomness becomes acceptable because of the rhythm used...

[mangasprai]

@Wallimann

understood!! it s like going of road :)

[nikosidis]

Great tips. Thx :)

You are a good teacher.

[Wallimann]

@nikosidis Thank you sir!

[beeeastmaster]

does this guy think he's funny?

[pickupthePWN]

wow! interesting

[Wallimann]

@pickupthePWN Thanks for watching!

[vipermad]

I guess my coke bottle didnt reach him ):

[Wallimann]

@vipermad What do you mean?

[BryceGuitarGlen]

@Wallimann 4:27

[rdicko86]

"its a lame fill but it gives you the idea" lol, nice lesson... i think a good exercise is playing pentatonics and switching to modes for fills. Like a minor pent to dorian or sometihng like that then expanding that further and discover what plays well... just a thought

[Wallimann]

@rdicko86 That's also a good idea! Although it wouldn't really be playing out it still is a good way to get comfortable with how modes and pentatonic scales are linked. :-)

[machinegunlicks]

which is the previous video?

[Wallimann]

@machinegunlicks Oh, I can't remember.. That was old! :-)

[machinegunlicks]

@Wallimann you're my favourite web-teacher together with willye myette and paul gilbert XD

[Wallimann]

@machinegunlicks Oh wow! Thank you!

[tiwi666]

Salut l'ami! Merci pour les conseils!

[Wallimann]

@tiwi666 Merci à toi! :-)

[Mastahboys]

NICE!

[Wallimann]

@Mastahboys Thanks buddy!

[nothingislogical]

Very cool, informative video but dude, that green screen effect is horrible. Green screen is not necessary for a good guitar lesson video.

[Wallimann]

@nothingislogical Thanks man! Oh yeah, that's an old video.. Back when I was still a bit new to Youtube. :-)

[Caparison81]

dude stop talkin' it was very boring. Play!!!

[Wallimann]

@Caparison81 My playing is boring buddy. :-D

[pleximanic]

@Caparison81 why are you listening then DUDE!

[soren650]

I've found out that the b5 note, is really cool to use once in a while. Use it to slide up or down to, or incorporate it in the "fills". Fun! :)

[Wallimann]

@soren650 Great suggestion man! The b5 is a cool note for sure!

[amarcusj1991]

you sir are a great teacher. i now have that sound i was missing.

[Wallimann]

@amarcusj1991 Thanks a lot!!!

[Augenatic]

this is ingenious, great playing too

[Wallimann]

@Augenatic Thanks a lot!

[caracterav]

what are you? a guitar freak?

i don't care.... this is a supergreatphoqueen lesson.

thanks so much, man

saludos desde méxico

[Wallimann]

@caracterav Hehe! Thanks a lot man!

[JEESherazi]

That's the best fusion lesson!

[Wallimann]

@JEESherazi Thanks a lot! Glad you like this!

[carnageriot94]

WOAH! Dude this totally helped me out! I've been trying to figure out who people did that for ages! THANK YOU SO MUCH DUDE, please don't stop ever.

[Wallimann]

@carnageriot94 Awesome! I'm glad this helped man!

[Xioaxioa10]

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......

[eddieisfiction]

another easy thing to "fake" playing outside, is to imagine an A minor scale with 9 notes. Add the D sharp from A minor pentatonic, and add the A flat from the harmonic minor. Use those 2 notes as passing notes. At that point you can play 3 different scales and blend them together. Plus you can play the mode of whatever key of different chords on that lick. You can add bluesy sounds to natural and harmonic minors, use diminished, non diminshed, and chromatics due to this. Trial and error

[eddieisfiction]

a good thing to do when playing outside thats easy... is play something thats a lick within key, and then keep dropping it a half step down quickly until you get back to a key that makes musical sense. basically playing the entire lick, and then chromatically dropping it a half step down at a time a few times.

[icemuzic]

talks tooooooooo much

[verbotenco]

Hey man, how about putting some theories in to help aspiring people get a stronger grip on playing outside.

[Wallimann]

@verbotenco Stay tuned! :-)

[verbotenco]

Hi Mr. Walliman, I like the jokes, regardless whether it is considered cheesy, corny, or smart :)

[Wallimann]

@verbotenco Thanks man! :-)

[Surfister]

taka taka taka taka tsssssss!!!!

[cadwini]

Never take out the jokes! The jokes are fun! I don't know where that guy is coming from.

[Sunderlanding]

No offense, but you should take out all the jokes. They aren't funny and they just take away from the potential to learn. I couldn't get past the first minute. 

[Wallimann]

@Sunderlanding None taken. :-D

[jose044]

@Sunderlanding The jokes are the things that make David different from all the other 1000000000000000 players teaching this on youtube.

[Sunderlanding]

@jose044 That's right, no one on YouTube is making jokes.

[Wallimann]

@Sunderlanding Thanks a lot guys!

[gromshit101]

hey will, just curious, did you take guitar lessons?

[Wallimann]

@gromshit101 I took a few yeah. :-)

[gromshit101]

@gromshit101 im going to namm next year, what booth do you usually hang at i wanna jam!

[Wallimann]

@gromshit101 Awesome! I would love to meet you there!

I'm not at a booth, I just walk around and enjoy the show. :-D

[hunterlpdc94]

thanks for the post. I've been trying to figure out when to play outside of the scale for a while now. I appreciate it.

[robert1268]

HOOO YAAAA!!!!!!

[exbogus]

you just need to play notes outside ? is there any relationship between those notes and the chord being played ? or are they just outsider notes ?

[Wallimann]

@exbogus Yep! No relation, just outside. :-)

[JimJammBassMan]

@exbogus you could try using the altered scale of the scale you're in, i.e. if you're in C Dorian, as you are here, then you'd use C altered scale, because that includes all the "out" notes.

[jonatsdunkin]

i like it very nice...thank you

[Wallimann]

@jonatsdunkin Thanks for watching! :-D

[matti2906]

got the idea, but its pretty hard to impelent. is moving the c dorian fingering one fret up or down a good idea to start with?

[Wallimann]

@matti2906 Yeah man, it wil work too. :-)

[matti2906]

@Wallimann can you give me some other tips please? :)

[Wallimann]

@matti2906 Yeah,try playing without a backing track. Just a metronome. As you play, use oly 16th notes and play out every other 4 notes. It will help you go out and back in...

[matti2906]

@Wallimann

thanks man!

Very great Ideas and very insightfull video!

Thanks for sharing

[Wallimann]

@rafaelnery Thanks! :-)

[MrSilvaed123]

Hey friend! I am one of those who learned hacking and have just a bit of theory knowledge. I usually play lead and have no problem coming up with phrasings and melodies off the cuff, however, it bothers me that I don't really understand what I am doing.

Can you please explain the logic of leading over chord changes?

Thanks!

[Wallimann]

@MrSilvaed123 Thanks for watching my videos. :-)

Check out my video called "Which Scale Should You Use? ", it might help?



[spooner1957]

you are amazing

[GorancicAdi]

when i listen to you play it than it sounds good.but when i try it sounds completely sHiity xD

i wanna enter the cometition soooo baaad...i'll go search for some fusion lessons xD i just gotta be in the comp..

[Wallimann]

@GorancicAdi It doesn't need to be fusion man, you already are a good player! You really should enter! Just play like you man, it will be great!

[GorancicAdi]

@Wallimann thx man =) you really are a big motivation for me...

I'll enter !!! =)

[Wallimann]

@GorancicAdi Awesome!!!!

[kiaranjay]

That's funny because yesterday I did go to the banana! The cake wasn't that brilliant though :/

[stoob1969]

Warning: This man is bonkers. Great lesson.

[Wallimann]

[vheadfacelegs]

[ichi612]

nice lesson love it thanks for your time....where i can download your backing tracks???

[Wallimann]

@ichi612 You can get all the backing tracks and much more on my site guiarplayback . com :-)

[ichi612]

@Wallimann thanks mate....can u teach us agian how to apply bebop scale because i see some vids thier are applying some bebop and diminished scle.....hope u can make a vids again thanks

[Wallimann]

@ichi612 I'll add that to my list, sure! :-)

[ichi612]

@Wallimann wow rilly thanks....i cannot wait to see ur new lesson

[cjkeegan100]

ill give it a go but ill have do it in slow mo cos well im rubbish at this lead stuff. but i never give up so one day the shredding will commence.

[Wallimann]

@cjkeegan100 I'm certain you will get better very fast. Thanks a lot for your nice comments! :-)

[stoob1969]

@cjkeegan100 I´m where you are brother, I´m not giving up :o)

[jarekdobrzanski]

I really like your explanation as it's so practical and gives you immediate start with actually doing it and familiarize with altered sound. At some point though it's worth looking at that subject from harmonic perspective and that in fact most of the time playing outside means outlining some virtual dominant chord and as such shouldn't be just 'random'. Once again - I'm not saying that you're wrong - it's just I think there is a deeper end to the subject that is worth mentioning.

[Wallimann]

@jarekdobrzanski Absolutely, thanks a lot for pointing that out! :-)

[oOMATTtheBATTOo]

Thank bra!

This is gonna make my guitar playing alot easier!

[Wallimann]

@oOMATTtheBATTOo Thanks for watching! :-)

[312chicagoadam]

This is what separates the good "instructors" from the bad: Taking a potentially complex idea (playing "outside") and making it easily digestable for all! I have found it confusing, trying to figure out when/where/how to play outside, and within 4:53, this Gentleman opened up this World to ME! I cannot THANK YOU, enough, mon ami! Merci Beaucoup!

[Wallimann]

@312chicagoadam Thank you so much for the nice comment! :-)

[112358miau]

Again, perfect videos. I'm in that point when you can improvise on not feel like you're always repeating those hendrix licks lol. I'm learning mode shapes through different ways, but I'm sure that yours would be the easiest, you make all easy. This video was really helpfull

[Wallimann]

@112358miau Thanks a lot man! I'm glad you like this! :-)

Keep me posted on your findings! :-)

[weazl2002]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your videos that explain these concepts in such concise and easily grasped portions. Nicely done. I am so glad I stumbled upon your videos... you have a new fan!!!

[Wallimann]

@weazl2002 Thanks a lot for the nice comments! It's nice to meet you! :-)

[skarfreak]

[Wallimann]

@miqueldapena Thanks!

[hueseph]

Great tip. Glad I subscribed.



[Wallimann]

@hueseph Thanks a lot man!

[lowaysh]

great lesson, i was hoping you could do one on passing notes...it kinda confuses me.

thanks again

[Wallimann]

@lowaysh Oh sure, I'll add that to the list! :-)

[NeedHeadMusic]

C - Dorian? The same like Bb Ionian isnt it?

[kaznerov]

@NeedHeadMusic

This is where modes can be tricky. C-dorian excists of the same notes as Bb Ionian, but they have a different root note. When you play C-dorian over a Cmin chord it should sound C-dorian like. If you play the same scale over a Bb it should sound like Bb Ionian!

[fenixx213]

@kaznerov nice and true =3

[Wallimann]

@NeedHeadMusic Yeah, Kaz is right..

What makes a mode sound like it does is not the note you start it from, but rather the relation between the notes you play and the chord! :-)

[Jinskee]

awesome lesson, thanks! i'm going to try apply this to my playing

[Wallimann]

@Jinskee Thank! Glad you like this! :-)

[666meroll666]
