Crazy Cool Insane Badass Guitar Lesson: Scale Runs Made Simple

[chefshitpiece]

Fuck you, Biz.! U R fer sure the Anti-Christ...you dont fool me you evil fucker!!!

[1skullduggery]

if you dont like it my friend will car-bomb you....

[07elraton]

Dude, is it safe to play at those speeds? I don't wanna pop any more blood vessels in my eye. lol.... thanks for the lesson. Cheers...

[halcyon321]

oh my god.... this is exactly what i wanted to see... thanks man

[evilguardianz]

Do you do light palm mute when doing scale runs?? Cause when I try to do em, I get a frizzy sound in the background and it mostly covers up the note sounds :/

[KEVO12jew]

Dude you remind me of myself

[shango02005]

I heard this great quote: " an amateur practices to get it right, a pro practices so he doesn't get it wrong." I love it! No idea where it came from, though. Thanks for the lesson, bro!

[mandaraUZUMAKI]

lol at the last part

[trevorbadger]

His problem is that he didn't practice it slowly from the start. His hand isn't relaxed. I can tell because he picks exactly how I used to pick. Notice how all of his fingers are stiffly connected, rigid, and flail outwards. Not trying to be that prick on the internet... he's good.. but he learned the wrong way like I did.

[beme2day]

these are difficult to play that fast. Yes he made some mistakes but most people would just play through and end the vid. This guy im guessing is a perfectionist.

[nonaCbarC]

:D

I saw this pattern from a Paul Gilbert's instruction vid some yrs ago. :D

[barflin]

Very thorough...awesome video. Awesome playing. That was a big big help. Thank you Dave.

[dizzykrissi]

Second half of the video is practicing :-)

[DHgtr1]

Cool..very good,,I liked it  Thanks

[TrevENGL]

"some pretty slick patterns........y...you, can go back over there if you want" haha wow that was hilarious, I was wondering how long he was going to stand there. Great playing though man! Your videos are awesome.

[Eman619]

How you pick so fast ?

[LeWolfgang]

Making mistakes doesn't make a guitarist bad. It makes them human.

[andr4681]

@LeWolfgang Is that why Paul gilbert is not a human?

[LeWolfgang]

@andr4681 Yes.

[naniho]

Dave,

Thanks so much for sharing all your riffs and how-to guitar knowledge. You've helped a lot of us and made better guitar players out of us.

[Naes201GR]

i've been doing this forever but i don't pick all the notes. I should work on that lol. Sounds better.

[beethovenmetalhead]

easy on theory but not so easy to play

[soad7172]

wtf l0l.. i wanna do dat but i don't have an electric guitar . i have an acoustic u think i could still do it ?

[TheJohnnyMetal]

you probably could if your insanely good at guitar.

[Recals]

yes, an now go and practice !

[2hafstylezk]

u can i can do some fast scale runs on my acoustic guitar and my uncle = o...he scares me lol

[gangstagrills]

so you just repeat the same notes down the fret board? plz answer that question i need help and thanks in advanced

[gangstagrills]

what exactly is a scale run

[beethovenmetalhead]

all the notes have 2 scales a major and a minor

the scale is from 7 notes if you play all the notes you have a scale run

[Mischa1984Su]

awesome wayof thinking,just great thanks

[Blader999]

THANKS!

[wmdj]

[1126jjk]

[Cipry16]

[bass1134]

[thrashingchicken10]

[K684813]

[alloyvistaeatswafer]

downer^13

[AntonVisco]

This is great! Thanks for this! :)

[1126jjk]

i can tell hes a perfectionist lol, (2:04 "hold on!")

[almann1979]

this is good - well done. what i would also like to know are ways to resolve runs like this into a strong melodic lick...anybody know where i can find a lesson on that??

[TheJester304]

Wow. So simple but sounds so technical. Good vid.

[666razorback666]

thanx 4 da kool leason man!

[markrixey]

That is very helpful. Wish you were on the space coast.

[cjam496]

just me or was that too fast to get EVERYTHING but it was helpful

[arcangell33]

Your exercise is "apparently" simple but is tremendously useful. Well done!!! I'm practising it. You can put this runs in a fast solo passage in whatever tone!

[JoeFielding72]

I like this pattern.I am getting in to this big time.Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your magnificent skills.I am looking so forward to watching more of your videos.Have a great night and I am having a blast working on this one.God bless you and your family.

[VaiJedi]

Thanks for posting. I have been playing for a long time and this makes perfect sense...what the hell was I thinking!!!?

[jpc1971]

Dave

really like your vids man, keep em coming!!!

you explain things great and its easy to understand..and you say some funny shit too sometimes..lol

[Ty1erBrooks]

Okay I see a RATM poster in the back. You are officially the best guitar teacher on youtube! Seriously! Thank you so much for your great lessons!

[Jorgesys]

Hey Arazmo your friend looks like Shrek's Donkey :)

[radwillxx]

Thank you so much Dave for all your videos. I'm gonna start practicing seriously 'cause I wanna play better than you. :) Really love what you do!

[Jorgesys]

pinches pendejos "hi im Dave Arazmo" no es DAVE AZNO?

jajajaj

[Arazmo]

usted es un idiota

[Jorgesys]

y tu un Donkey LOL

[Arazmo]

See ya bozo.

[endauthority]

@Arazmo No, usted

[Trex100]

Funny how that dude hangs out behind Dave until he is asked to split.

"You can go sit over there..."

[5t3Maiden]

lol

[Trex100]

Dave, I want to thank you for your lessons. They are really opening doors for me. Brilliant stuff. I plan on practicing everything you post. Thanks bro.

[Tlaltecutli]

Damn, you rock !!!...

[wobblywunk]

pretty cool shit...appreciate the lesson keep it up man =] and don't worry about the messing up you're still pretty amazing.

[FartheadOgre]

Haha, hey thanks, great lessons!!!!!!!!

[Cinnemax77]

Dave, you rock! GL! Who are your influences?

[Arazmo]

Rhodes, Halen, Yngwie, Morse, Dimeola, Albert Lee, Akira Nagasaki (Loudness) these are my early influences. I like a lot of players.

[letterbekmen]

@Arazmo what guitar is that? kicks ass

[megadeth55555]

hahahahahahaahahahahaha dave's friend wants to be part of the lesson hahahahahahahahahaa

[danildranov]

guys ur idiots ey

[Heeger]

metronome and even tempo. You messed up too.

[Arazmo]

So what?

[MusiciansQuarters]

up strokes are weak same with me practice them daily!! They are bear lol

[litmusicsock]

dude , it be so much more benificial to the learner if youd pay the stuff a little slower first, get the information across BEFORE ripping up n down the neck. im just sayin is all...coz most of the vid is you shreddin rather than a lesson. That said the actual lesson parts are quite valuble.

peace.

[sebassatan]

@litmusicsock: I found it rather clear, and it was slow enough.

Thanks man! now i have a new scale to practice.. I just love practicing scales ( i really do, no sarcasm here) :D

[litmusicsock]

im not sure why i wrote that msg in relation to this clip as it is slow and clear enuf so i may have intended it for another, i sometimes keep 2 r 3 windows open while im looking ofr good vids so i must have typed or pasted that msg into the wrong one.

[donphonica]

Damn. Makes me feel sort of hopeless. I don't think I'll ever be that fast.

[sup1967]

you rock dave! pretty sure i saw that on an old Paul Gilbert REH video though. but you rock anyway!

[studentwooder]

awesome man. this will definately expand my soloing to outside the pentatonic box. will take several months to get to that speed tho! goo one

[toddazander]

i like how you explain just what you are doing and take each note slowly for begginers to keep up, thank you for taking time to teach people like me

[Marseglia12345]

Ive been playeing for 40 years and I just dont see my fingers moving that fast. Maybe it is arthritis.

[testr321]

do with Accents accents are a charm

[shreadx]

played clean but total rip of paul gilberts video dont call it ur own

[Arazmo]

You kiddies should figure out that nobody you see "invented" the modal scales. Just about everything has been done B4. Paul saw my band in Miami in 1990, we were playing clubs - he was opening for Rush. Paul rips Yngwie, I do too, and many others - it's called "learning"....PEACE!

[Empyrean2007]

Good call mate. We're all sitting here stealing your stuff right now.. haha Lets not say who invented music or techniques, but enjoy that someone is kind enough to share what he has learned with us. Thanks again, i for 1 greatly appreciate your vids. Peace

Cam.

[Jwinstrand]

no doubt. some ppl are just not happy about the way they play themselves.So they have to rip on ppl that are kind enough to share. I've been playing for 30 years,teaching for probably 10 and I'm the biggest ripoff artist you'd ever wanna meet...lol!

thanks for all the videos Dave!

the gift of music is pricless as are it's rewards!

jw

[TshredderT]

yeh its good to see someone that doesnt cut out all the mistakes to make themselves look better , in my opinion guys like this are better , thans for the vid!

[epilpfreak]

haha i luv the faces u make when ur playing! im definitely gonna use this stuff ur teaching cuz i suck... lol good vid

[00sven00sven00]

i agree , its good to see a PRACTICING player sharing his tips

[gecoh]

i wish i have a guitar teacher like u :)

[neoshred7]

you are a humble guitar crusader! :D ...i like ur teaching, man! ahahha

[goldie69]

Dude I like the way you don't pretend you always play perfect and just film it once even if you make a mistake! thanx!!
