[kylepardueish]

good lesson the only thing is what you did was the diminished arpaggion not the diminished scale the skill is similar to the arpaggio but u add your second and third finger so the diminished scale is

E 1 2 4

A 2 4 5

D 3 4 6

G 4 6 7

b 6 7 9

e 7 9 10

Thanks for putting this up.

[Fernandez3995]

So how long should I practice each scale? Practice one for 10 min the move on to another etc.

Or should I practice one a day?

[viperabs]

@Fernandez3995 It's up to you. For my students I would usually give them a scale one week, see how they did, then assign another if they could play it flawlessly from memory 3x with no pauses in between.

[Fernandez3995]

@viperabs aright ill try that. Ill work from 80 BPM to 115BPM. thanks

[ZACKYS3V3NFOLD]

how long did it take you to master them?

[theshroomgatherer]

they have the same guitar at guitar center

[EscapDAfate]

[poiuytrewq95]

[liamzuid]

What mode is actually good to play as a diminished chord.

Isn't that phrygian?

[SanjeevGeorgeV]

nice

[CerpinTaxt37]

Scales really give you the freedom to express yourself because they are so versatile and comprehensive... Many thanks for this!

[eLeCtRoFrEaK0036]

what are guitar scales and why are they so important........i dont get it

[viperabs]

@eLeCtRoFrEaK0036 Go learn them, master them, then get back to me if you don't see why.

[superdong666]

@viperabs ive learned at least 20 different scales. i can play them pretty fast and anywhere on the neck... i still havent figured out the purpose of scales

[deathcore1239]

@eLeCtRoFrEaK0036 if you play music thats NOT just power chords, then you need scales. they help with solo's, hand-eye coordination and they can improve your speed, finger strength and your technique. i still need to learn scales as well

[Heinrick192]

Thanks for sharing those Japanese scales, they sound wonderful, especially when made into an arpeggio,mmmm yummy

[TheSethGalleyChannel]

i like your shirt! awsome!

[TeramKontru]

Man this lesson of scales is great for begginers and for practising. Thank you

[FatherStarr]

Alright man, thanks. Your an awesome teacher btw man. Ver clear, calm and to the point. The next Satch 8]

[FatherStarr]

How Important is the Action on a electric guitar? It's difficult for me to play this because is so high : /

[viperabs]

@FatherStarr Fortunately with electric guitars, you can adjust your action very easily. Lower your action until it buzzes alot, then raise it back up a hair.

[Kardflow]

Oh wow. I knew whole tone was easy but I did not know that about the diminished scale. Sweet! *goes practice*

[Twiztidmind88]

I have the exact same shecter...it's awesome isnt it

[AxisofJustice21]

It's good to have knowledge of the scales.. suggestion for next video is to show people where and how to apply them when trying to write a solo either on the fly or putting it down in a recording. Having knowledge of these scales is one thing.. applying them is where the fun part for a musician starts, heh.

[viperabs]

@AxisofJustice21 I have videos on how to write solos and such, but this is actually the followup. You'd be surprised how many people don't think scales are important.

[AxisofJustice21]

@viperabs Haha I wish I could say I was surprised by it.. but it's more than common to find a player that plays all these licks and has technique out the yin yang, but put him in a position where you go on the fly? He's lost.. he has no idea.

[morganherba7]

@viperabs I use to think scales are point less and retarted... but then after this first year of playing I realized I can't write a whole solo without it cause, I don't know what notes go together. And I think it's great that your teaching people the imprtance of these scales, great job man.

[Buurrned]

derp

[viperabs]

@Buurrned Merp.

[pacrat90]

Great Lesson!

[GuitarOrDeath]

First of all, beautiful guitar. Second, what does whole tone mean? I've never come across that scale before.

[viperabs]

@GuitarOrDeath Its composed of all whole-steps. Thanks for checking out my vid!

[humanentropy]

i thought fish scales were the best until i saw this!

[viperabs]

@ManicStreetStevO All info is on my channel or in the info bar.

[didntsave]

That scale is not just called "Pentatonic" it is the Minor Pentatonic.

[viperabs]

@didntsave Depends on your reference, because most just refer to it as the pentatonic.

[didntsave]

@viperabs Pentatonic means the scale has 5 tones. the diminished scale has 5 tones, so it is Pentatonic as well.

[viperabs]

@didntsave I'm not saying you aren't correct, I just used more common terminology. No need to treat me as though I don't know what I made my video about.

[didntsave]

@viperabs No harm intended, just putting it out there for people who didn't know.

[thehippo]

Neat, I haven't seen anyone else mention the two scales at the end before. Thanks!
