[spwb2k]

sweet.

good lessons

thx

[frusciantestrat99]

Do you hold the pick reversed (using the round side to hit the strings)? Thanks

[DiscoverGuitarOnline]

@frusciantestrat99

Na, I just hold it the standard way. Probably hard to tell in the vid.

[droopy668]

Thank you! Where could we have some more good blues rock lessons like that? Is there a dvd?

[Maestrp37388]

I am going to shamelessly and unabashedly steal parts of this for my improv solo in grade 4 Rocschool, anyone care to guess which song I am working on?

[TheBlazingPenguins]

your doing exactly what i did, and could the piece possibly be secret place? ;)

[Maestrp37388]

@TheBlazingPenguins Very good, of course the whole blues thing gave it away huh? I'm doing grade 5 now. Learned 5 of the six pieces, but still tightening them down. How are your studies going?

[agustinvacavalverde]

dude, remember me?

still cant get that little vibrato at 0:06 wtf!!!!!!

[Opticradiation]

Did you make this up yourself or is it from a song?

[DiscoverGuitarOnline]

I wrote it. =)  thanks

[Opticradiation]

[bukethd1223]

nice i got the same guiatr as u and ebony les paul

[DiscoverGuitarOnline]

Cool! There is nothing like a Les Paul.

[agustinvacavalverde]

i cant get that sound at 0:07 how do you do it

[tempuser29]

When you come off the string after the full step bend from D to E at :38, how do you keep it from sounding?

[dgorocks]

The 1st finger (which is on the 2nd string) slightly touches the string preventing it from ringing. Hope that helps.

[tempuser29]

It does. Thanks for the super-fast reply and keep up the good work!

[ledzeppelinzoso]

when i improv i use alot of blues licks i am always at the music store and others blues licks always sound a little like this where as mine r different . i deff be steraling these licks lol thanks

[EGDmitry]

could you post a backing track for that please?

[DiscoverGuitarOnline]

I will be posting backing tracks in the near future at discoverguitaronline. com

link is in description

[2Luke]

thank you man! really great stuff there!

[HHeXX]

Whooo Hooow thx m8

[SuperChuck3]

That sounds so awesome!

[tropics1020]

Mixolydian scales with dominant arpeggios thrown in ..

[Jack741]

I dont know.. It doesnt seem like Mixolydian to me. It'd be more of a minor-type scale wouldnt it?

[mccormickn]

Yeah It's minor blues pentatonic with major colors added. Tasty!

[tropics1020]

Sounds like Mixolydian and Major pentatonic on second listen.

If he were to have played minor pentatonic over each chord it wouldn't have sounded very good.

hmm Your right he might be playing some blues licks ove4 the A chord.

Hopefully he can give us a some insight!

[DiscoverGuitarOnline]

I used...

A minor pentatonic

A Mixo

D mixo

E mixo

and the arpeggios or each chord (A7,D7,E7)

there is a link in the description to scale/arp charts.

[longnosekid]

please make more of these!

[DiscoverGuitarOnline]

Thanks, I'm working on a series of etudes and will be posting many of them here at YouTube, and all of them at discoverguitaronline. com

Thanks,

Dan

[tropics1020]

How about a lesson on playing a solo over a harmonically stacked chord progression...like with 7 or 8 chords that change every bar or bar and a half. that would be sick.

[Morlyman]

I totally agree!

[vareela94]

awesome :D

[SkeletalGuitarGal]

that was awesome!

[CryWolfMU]

great man

[NOW1K]

cool man :)
