Guitar Lesson: Don't use a telecaster

[magyarikristof]

@xXmoptop100Xx what's the matter with them?

[mixermantim]

Thanks for making this video it was a help.

[vlurton]

He also added, to his credit, octaves and double stops and double stop bends, which I believe are covered in other lessons, to his solo at the end of the video. Very cool, melodic and has great feeling.

[SoRock321]

This guy knows what he is talking about. I would like to add that if you know the pentatonic and its relative, there are not many notes you can't hit. If it sounds good, then its right. Check out a song with a 2 minute guitar solo by Curtis Mitchell, "Play'n Rock'n Roll". He is all over the neck

[agenteError]

Were i can get musics for training solos?

[qdsqd]

@agenteError CHILDREN OF BODOM!

That's how I learned it all!

[TheDarkSide599]

the solo at the end was fucking sexy!!

[FartKnockaz]

I love beefcakejcc. Every lesson - and i mean EVERY LESSON - is absolutely informant and helpful. I learn things every video... there's nothing i don't miss... and it's simple.

Got anybody that needs inspiration and a more explored fretboard? You better send them to these vids. Jesus.

[nostaticatall]

great lesson, thanks

[snodgrassjones]

Isn't that your standard Am @ 5:15?

[benjammin8807]

HIS name is jody??

[mayi2839]

Hey Jody

Thanks!!!!

[firstcat]

Hey, Jody! You are a great teacher! Solid concepts, and easy to understand. Thanks a lot!

[dodo4hire]

so basicly. when solo-ing ur just accenting notes played in the chords. basicly...?

(how does this work with powerchords, mainly in metal. since metal tends to keep the background in some lick instead of chords. and in some songs even in 1 scale. while certain solo's change scale. whatup with that (since it sounds good anyway X_X))

[steelbullet7744]

"i try to stay in one position as long as possible"...1:00...haha zombie56..."it's a very comfortable place to be"...1:18...theres too many haha sorry for laughing at you jody

[wakold]

[CountryHitsUSA]

Great lesson! Well said about talking to much. I would like to know about your Guitar, Amp, and Gear setup. Smooth tone.

[Christblackwell]

[HiggsFenderU2]

[yinyangthang]

GET ON DOWN, Jody! Toneful, tasty, soulful playing--damn that's good (great lesson too).

[zombie56]

@zombie56 "maintain your position, until you cant any longer"...-jody worrell

[viMayheMiv]

I'm in love with this guy. He has such a good attitude and the way he articulates his words surpasses most other youtube users. Very nice lesson, even though, to be honest, I didn't really pay attention. :D lol I was just enjoying some music lol

[vracan]

good lesson!

[guitardaddy6]

it must be hard playing guitar with such big fingers. i have long skinny fingers. :D

[Detman101]

Actually makes it easier.

Dm

[tim3bandit57]

great lesson! helped a lot. I think Jody Worrell and Peter Vogl are the best teachers on youtube

[palemale200]

nah man justin sanderco is up there fosho

[hakkerxxx]

A dorian = A, B, C,D,E, F#,G

G major = G,A,B,C,D,E,F#

These are the same notes.

However, they represent different whole/half step patterns.

It can be a little confusing...

[hakkerxxx]

That's why I like three notes per string better, it's easier especially for economy picking.

[lucasboy13]

sounds like oye como va

goooooo santana!!!!!

[bizzmashup]

Very nice- love the style and the lesson is great- thanks for posting,

[hotlinklarry]

You are an excellent teacher, thank you for doing this. One thing I don't get is, how we know to use A Dorian in this case?

I understand that A dorian is from the key of G major, but that just confuses me more, because the song is in the key of A.

[lespaulrules123]

because u can add the F# note in the key of a but if u do minor scale u have to use the F u can use this if ur playing in a and NOT play the 2nd minor or 4th major chord in the progression

[Bluesslander]

Because A Dorian is an A minor sounding scale. It has a b3 and a b7 like an A minor pentatonic but it also includes the major 2 and the major 6 (making it more melodic than a pentatonic). Also the scale is easy to fall back on because it has the same notes as a vanilla G major scale.

[666paublo666]

if the song is in the key of A or G you can use it to solo

[barimando]

I can see why your confused because the Key Signature is not A major. The chords are Am7 and D7 which neither chord is in the key of A. I think people get confused by just looking at the first chord and looking at the root note and thinking that is the key that it is in. If you study Key Sig's and chord function of each key then you will see how it makes since.

[barimando]

I dont think its enough to know scales and modes (which are important) without learning chord function as well because that is how you know which one to use.

[nickzambrano]

amazing instructor!!!!!!! 5 stars!!!!!!!!

[donmartin55]

nice...Oye Como Va

[kambium1]

Thanks Jody your a star. I'm off to practice my dorian scales shape.

[greg071153]

Jody, I keep watching and continue to learn 251 progression. Trick is? knowing the fret board and the chords. great work Jody. Bro cut back on the chili, its goin catch up to ya many ,many thanks

[borlotta]

Just Thanks a lot from an italian player..great

[TheBeatlesfan1991]

is this used in jazz and blues?

[the1trueseed]

neva thought of it like that before

[TeamKitoStaff]

so boring to watch. He just dribbles on.

[74LesPaul]

I've listened to a lot of guitar instructional material but Jody really makes it clear and fun to tackle. Thank you for fun and challenging lessons. Kirk

[greg071153]

Hey Jody, thats the good lesson I needed. You covered alot and I would like to hear about some other chord combinations that can be covered by the same scales/modes. Excelent work bro thx

[doubledareband]

Jody...Jody...man, what a touch. Awesome stuff. Have you got any of your own music out? I know a lot of us guitar players would like to hear you really stretch out.

Thanks!

Charlie

[080888kirk]

hey!! thanks for the scale!! :) been learning the blues style.. and got sum points from you.. keep it coming .. :)

[P3313]

you made that scale your bitch

[zombieme2]

Very informative and I love your style. Keep up the great work brother!!

[fallenseraph277]

the tone and feel of your solos here are awesome. keep up the good vids.

[hentaiemperor69]

nice sound!!!

blue-ish sound!

[laricxx]

you're mazing

[bricktopra3]

Damn man, great solo over just two chord changes!!

[tnuffdawg]

Oye Como Va!

[mathstew]

This is a superb lesson--thanks.

[emaildodiegao]

My lord! Is that a solo or what??? Perfect... Congratulations... And thanx 4 the lesson!

[purecork]

brilliant lesson by the way!

[purecork]

should i master pentatonic before starting modes? i have a + e major minor backwards

[maxhorton51]

I would start by mastering the pentatonic scale in all five positions before moving on to modes.

The only real reason for that is the pentatonic acts as a 'skeleton scale' of sorts, because all the modes are just the pentatonic with added notes to fill it out.

If you master the pentatonic in all scales and positions, learning modes will be alot quicker and easier.

Hope that helps

[Carlosdamiano]

everything is related :).. learn the pentatonics.. but also the modes.. if you say "I'm going to learn pentatonics before I learn the modes".. well.. I'll see you in 40 years when you learn all the combinations of pentatonics. You can learn them both at the same time :)

[SpartacusFrye]

@maxhorton51 It did help, thank you.

[nerdyharry]

@maxhorton51 ...which makes the blues a learning device as much as a style of music!

[MasterGuitar777]

@maxhorton51 and u can play the notes from all 5 positions and it sounds good?? When I try it creates dissonance...

[SqiroS22]

Thanks for the great work Jody!

[swill1966]

Yep - I couldn't agree more, some absolutely top drawer playing there!! - what a great player... superb!

That tele sounds great too! - brlliant clean, twang - lovely ;-)

[xemospiderx]

Thanks for a great lesson, this video helped me a ton!

[maurofelipe76]

Not a knock, but is there a lesson posted that deals with dorian in a more familiar "shape", a position that's not a stretch position, one that's just a fleshed out pentatonic "box"? A lot of times the footage I see of rock players has them playing in the familiar stock pentatonic boxes where all the familiar blues licks lie, and they just end up resolving on a Dorian note. I don't see Allmann or Santana playing the "stretch" positions often. I only ask because I've tried & stretches didn't work

[nca177]

its just the same as arpeggios..argpeggio of Am7 and arpeggio of D7. You just have to determine what mode or scale that has the notes both on those two argeggios. Thanks for great lesson.

[plumberman19]

and i saw the light!!!!!!!!!!!!weow best concept vid ive seen

[redstrat1841]

wow this lesson gave me some answeres that I've been trying to get out of my guitar teacher for months. thanks

[blackout2240]

I agree with you all the way

[ericpaswaters1]

wat year is that tele???

[fenderbenderbluesman]

'57 i think

[eboi009]

52'

[stratocastermojo]

superb work. last comment should be made available to all shredders out there !!

[DovoodooMiracleman]

yeah...beefcake...worrel...mor­e...worrel... damn he can teach.I wanna marry his tele...yeah...yeah...

[scrapingteeth]

Zepdog knows all. He learnt me the Andrea Doria commode back in '92, and I have yet to recover.

[sanjurosamurai]

Jody you're great

[ShoSho23Bam13NBR10]

Dude That was frekin amazing !!

[79943]

Outstanding lesson! This guy is the real deal man, he really knows what he is talking about. Thanks to whomever posted for an awesome video.

[Lahed92801]

Sounds like oye como va haha. Same chords

[adityag85]

if i wanna solo over major chords then hw do i do it cause a major chord has only 3 notes and tht means tht my playing will b very constrained.....plz help.......

[costaricangeneral]

alot of people will tell u to never leave the key or chord but if it sounds good to u then do it.... cuz if its sounds good the only person that will be anal about it is some ancient by the book teacher

[adityag85]

Hey thanks fr the reply.i gues tht is the best rule to follow-"if it sounds rite thn play it"....i was plaing the mastr of puppts 1st solo n i obsereved tht in the solo random notes frm the scale r played bt only wen the chords are changed the same notes r played...like wen the chord chnges to C kirk plays a sustain on the C note in the Gmaj scale....so i gues tht can also be used..........

[funkadelic123]

love you jody

[tweed6v6]

Excellent work - its videos like this that really inspire picking up that instrument and practicing when you feel you've hit that plateau -thanks

[lever525]

this dude is the guy from the sopranos hahaha

[dacrowster]

Yeah man :) SOme mobster guitar ways :)

[berge026]

does somebody know where I could get similar jam tracks he uses for free, I've already got the jam track from the link.. thanks

[chaosis3]

awesome man thnx a bunch.

[guitarman63mm]

sounds like santana

[johnw26660]

this is excellent.

[jipes]

It makes things much easier to understand and I can hear the licks of Santan and the ABB Great lesson Thanks Jody

[Geotubest]

Jody, I´m only a little bit through the video so far and I can tell you that this is the best demonstration of modal playing I´ve seen in a longgg time. I have a Joe Pass video which is quite good, but you´ve laid things out very, very nicely here. Thanks so much for such an informative, well presented video. 5 Stars.

[Dragon140237]

THANK YOU!!!

[frankz00]

This is TEN TIMES better than any of the videos I've been watching lately. This gives you an real application while the other guys seem to want to bore you to death with theory... THANK YOU!!! I totally understood this!

[gallardo109]

AMAZING LESSONS, thank you very very much

[raleydude]

Good stuff Jody. Looking forward to practicing it and watching your other lessons.

[blindsouris]

I don't post a comment, it's a so nice demonstration, I prefer nothing to say....

[halofan00]

this is awesome, thanks so much for posting these videos. How do we figure out that we should use the A Dorian mode? Does the regular A minor scale work as well?

Thanks

[Badger93243]

This is competent guitar
