[Laxalox]

For a second I thought U were Santana!!! The guitar looks similar to his, I guess yours is a PRS.

[eugeni]

[MrJhong19]

[marioveljacadotcom]

nice lsns! but actually its not every! you are skippin the thing from A to H! but it gives a one whit no idea how to actually do it! keep it up brah!! steezhazeen!! ;

[KeegansPop]

Did anyone notice this guy plays descending scales a lot worse then ascending scales? He is a really good teacher, but just an OK player in my opinion. Still, love the bids. Helpful for me BC I have no formal training so learning little tidbits is certainly helpful, not just for me but for other people I have to explain my music too. Thanks again!

[codeofsilence401]

does anybody else think he looks like earl from that 70s show

[AlterBridgeTremonti]

i just bought a prs custom 22, ahhh the sounds u can get from that guitar are amazing. and this guy should probably work on his bends

[d1rNGrey]

chilling.. killing...

[Quainez]

what effects is he using??

[hawaiidoves]

You are a very good teacher! A natural.

[diablinch]

gracias por el dato...y saludos desde mexico df

[MrJoshThompson]

does next level guitar teach sheet music?

[chainy10]

I'm sorry but what major shape is he using to play the G major scale? I'm only familiar with the E shape major scales.

[Maestrp37388]

I found that by doing this, it seems to have sharpened my skills with the pentatonic major, something I haven't practiced quite near enough.

[capnreed]

Where are your videos now, tool?

[AhkeraJusu]

dave, you should listen your own videos. you sound just awful. Like some teenager beginner. you are propably the biggest joke in the history of music. go ahead and delete this message. the truth hurts doesn't it?

[Majkel1990Poland]

Yea:P the best one WAAAAZZZAAAAP! :P

[ShamanS08]

id love it if some1 did a vid as good as that about this but with death metal and on the diminished scale

[NightRaven123456]

wwaaaazzaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[chadinterrupted]

hahahahahahahaha, this video is on my favorites because of that. hahahahahhahaha. wwaaaaazzaaaaaa. hahhahahahahHAHAHAHHAHAHHA.

[feijha]

you must first learn how to play following the tempo!

[chadinterrupted]

i agree

[thunderkid454]

lick this...lick that!

[MetalyourMom]

i think this lesson is the best for beginner, when i was a beginner i dont even where to start and how to move over the neck, with this lesson u can start to develope your improvisation

[TheJPfanboy]

hiered -.-

[spidey9556]

Is it possible for lead guitar solos to just learn a scale( i am a begginer) and find a way to make it sound good?

[GuitarPaulrocks]

Try learning the vocal melody to the song your soloing to and solo with that at first. That is easier than learning scales and gives your licks direction. Keep Jamming.

[MetalyourMom]

of course man u can solo with only one pattern

[buhler32]

@spidey9556 yes, basically, if you know the scale of the solo, you play any of the notes in that scale, however, after a while you'll realize that certain notes sound good with that chord, and then you'll just play those when that chord is being played, hope that helps

[TheLadlee]

You can make solos from scales yes, But you want to know much about the sound of each individual string and what sounds good when put together. you don't want to dramatically change pitches all the time.

I would recommend looking up scales and chords and like I said, study the individual sounds of the strings.

[mambo81811]

You are AWESOME!!!

[LeoCast96]

wazuuup

[vitorkindrat]

the sound its so sweet

[DMoon34]

Nice I love PRS 245s they are amazing but like $4500

[Kitty25cc]

I saw just like that only it was all black and it was only lik 1450 or somethen like that and YES it was brand new!!! I wanted it soo bad!!!

[ISS5731]

1. how do you know what key a progression is in?

2. How do you know wether it is major or minor?

3. Would the G major pent. scale work over the G-D-Em-C progression?

[Ksmusicguitar]

The key of a progression is usually the first chord in a sequence

Most of the time you can hear if a progression is in major or minor by the sound, major is usually happy where as minor is quite depressive, but you can work it out by taking the notes and working out the formula, a flat 3rd 6th and 7th is the natural minor scale (aeolian) there are others like the dorian, with a major 6th (check modes)

and yes a g major pent would work over it : )

[coolbrazilianboy]

the chords will tell you what key are you win.

you would have to study the chords harmonic field to understand better.

The root note usually tell you if its minor or major.

every minor comes from a major note.

C=AM

so you basically have two scales to use, which is the same notes.

and you can use the G major penta over those chords, or the G natural also which is G A B C D E F# G

[ISS5731]

thanks, altough most of this i know by now. but i do have a question. how do you know what scales/modes work over certain progressions? like how would i know when i twould be appropriate to use G aeolian or dorian for example.

[kennosen1]

That's a beautiful guitar.

[stillso01]

Hey Whydothegoodieyoung, add in some 3rd notes to your scales, slide into different scale shapes, and hammer on and pull off after root and finishing combinations off your minor and major scales. Just use variations, and step outside of the box sometimes.

[pissodick]

its a long drawn out learning process but eventually you get there, just like riding a bike kinda lol except it takes a little longer, on the theoretical side theres some great websites illustrating everything from cales to technique jst type in google, it was a great help to me knowing where the notes were on a guitar, e.g. you have a chord progression take the chords and find the fitting notes in a higher octave and jazz it up with some hammer ons and pull of that should help with your solo's

[whydothegoodieyoung]

i really don't understand guitar..my tutor has taught me pentatonics and the mode things and i've been playing for like 2 years almost..i don't know what i need to learn to be able to make solos or songs plz help me

[RsGhost1]

If he's taught you pentatonics and major scales.. thats what you need to solo..

[pissodick]

Hey man the best advice i could give you is not to get frustrated with yourself or playing, afterall playing is supposed to be fun right? 2 years is nothing on the likes of this guy right here he must of been playing for like 30 years. Ive been playing for about 2 years and i'm no where near this kind of level, the best thing to know is where you stand in your playing, sorta know your limits dont try shit like this if you cant play it or else you'll get frustrated, enjoy your playing man!

[skate14board]

what kind of scale would be d a c and g? is it a major or minor scale?? h

elp please

[hellismine]

it would c major..... c major has c d e f g a b c

[promazebro]

g major i think, g = 1 a = 2 c = 4 d = 5

[RsGhost1]

c major or a minor

[edominant7add9]

[newsboysfan77]

how much do paul reed smiths cost

[rama6maiden]

aloT!!

[emosanta4]

cheapest one on muscians friend is like 600 bucks

[Draugoth]

reply to newsboysfan77--

PRS guitars are commonly above $2000 for new models. Older ones can go for the low $1000-$2000 range, and the great PRS SE line goes for $600 brand new. You can always find one on Ebay for cheaper though, I got mine for only $300.

[gwadii]

Thanks so Much for this lesson and all of the lesson from Next level guitar.

[VedicIntelligentsia]

This is so flippin cool. I'm gonna do it right after I finish watching this video.

[Leviskardsen]

I'm glad you've started using your PRS in your videos. I was starting to think you'd sold it off, or something. In my opinion it's a better guitar than any Strat, but then again, I know how much you like your Strats, Dave.

Great video.

[mannyichi]

Thank you, BTW those knobs are huge, are they aftermarket???!!!^_^

[mattpowers2]

That's what he said.

[mannyichi]

I knew it, it was only a matter of time lol!!!^_^

[Leviskardsen]

Those are the standard pots that PRS use. They look cool up close.

[CharlieBurke]

Thats REALLY what he said! LOL

[jx14aby]
