Rock and Blues Guitar Lesson - How to Play Lead Guitar Solos with Scales

[huntermurphy1401]

Omg that guitar was my first :)

[jtostros]

ok, I keep learning from your videos. I have been needing the extra input into my improv work. Thanks a lot.

[gavinisamazing1234]

You should teach some avenged sevenfold😄

[ZombieGuitar123]

Wow, I have that guitar! Epiphone Special SG model right? Great guitar, beautiful sound.. My first electric guitar! :)

[RolfGuitar]

yeah Sweet Child O Mine rockin at 6:12

[6DPeace]

RED SG IS THE ONLY ELECTRIC GUITAR THAT I LIKE. ITS AMAZING I'VE ALREADY PUT MY WALL MOUNT ON THERE FOR IT ONE DAY I'M SOOO SURE THAT I'LL HAVE THAT, BY WINNING OR BUYING . :D

[6DPeace]

I LOOOVE THAT GUITARRRR :'(

[naruto31234567891]

>_O my guitar looks way better than the one you can win

[atomicdiscobiscuit]

why is it when someone goes out of their way to do something nice and awesome for the people, someone always has to be negative about it... my suggestion is: if you are looking for metal, do a metal search. if you see something and it doesn't tickle your fancy, who cares, move on and find something that does, and finally, if someone expresses dislike, it is their right, and I am sure it is nothing personal so leave the name calling off of it... it just turns a good thing into a bad thing... hmmm

[atomicdiscobiscuit]

rock on Marty!!!

[bluesBro18]

i have that shirt

[Gozzimo54321]

I didn't hear a shit of that

I only kept my eyes on that beautiful guitar

[royalpain35]

awsome intro solo dude!

[DWH1T93]

isn't that the sweet child o' mine solo at 6:18...?

[CreativeChick8]

@DWH1T93

Yep!

[barfonhim]

hey i have a reely cool idea ....CAN U MAKE SORT OUT LESSONS BY THE GUITAR cuz i know wen i see this guitar im expecting some METAL!!

SAME FOR YOUR ACOUSTIC/ELECTRIC YOU USUALLY USE IT FOR BLUESY TYPE LESSONS.

THIS COULD BE A FASTER WAY TO FIND THE TYPES OF RIFFS AND LESSONS YOU WANT TO SEE. I hope its considered.

[rchave]

@barfonhim

1) If you use caps lock, you look like a dickhead.

2) if you think an SG is just for metal, you're a dickhead.

3) if a video has "rock and blues" in the title, and you complain that its rock and blues, you're a dickhead.

I suggest you check the thumbnail pics for Ibanez's, Deans, or any tacky piece of shit with flames or skulls on it, and you'll get what you want.

[guitarzz24]

was this just the special sg or the special faded?

[intente]

jason mraz play guitar! :O

[bluesBro18]

i have that shirt!

[ThomasFernandez1996]

[tangypasta]

[thefr00bstv]

hahaha you started out with the outro of smooth then transitioned to sweet child of mine

[Dogfish360]

[guildfordrunner]

[TheArcticMonkeyz]

Marty... I've been following your lessons since last year, when I started. That was the Yellow tutorial by Coldplay. I remember practicing on that song, and now, 1 year later you're helping me with this. I just really really want to say thank you and for making me enjoy making music even more. Keep them up, you're my hero.

Daan

[metalfreak4677]

[bobbydude246]

[rollingrustyy]

pause at 11

[gunshothawk]

How do u string those kind of guitar's



[rskid23]

@gunshothawk if you see the stop bar tailpiece to the very left of the pickups you thread the strings through the tailpiece and run them down the neck

[MrSkullis]

Thx mate :) it helped me alot :) :D

[MrSuicideMan]

hey.. btw i have found a guitar a eko c11 i don't know how it sounds if its good or not because it doesn't have a few pieces but the pickups are fine... could you help me? just telling how it sounds or if its a good guitar and i should invest money in the guitar.

[negresiolo]

thats impossible

[showzinone]

haha this cat always looks so blazed hah

[ECDRandom]

Wow. The second I added those notes it opened up so many more soloing possibilities. Thanks man!

[helldx07]

[GrasDeRost]

[krum03]

VOTE FOR MARTY "CROSSROADS 2010"

[99ClickNote]

Good lesson Marty!!! And if i won that SG it would be a miracle, because i have a copy of a fender which i bought about 3 years a go, and that a was a stupid mistake because back than i could afford any guitar up to a expensive les paul, but now i can't afford even an epiphone! I hope hope hope hope i win it!!!!

[BaileysMariner]

No harm done, you're back in the zone :-)

[bluesky8921]

thanks for another great lesson.

I'm glad that you are encouraging players to get out of the rut of just using the minor penatonic.

[LithuanianGuitar]

Your shirt equals win.

[VLombardi01]

I love using that on a miner blues. Great demonstration!

[mistrz0]

nice shirt:)

[ptdatnurpipensmkit]

[Ruiso1]

[HungOverBat]

The very least we can do is vote for Marty. Thanks for teaching me countless songs and techniques!

[steveypeavey]

very slash. used in the end sweet child of mine solo isnt it?

[IrelandRobbie]

feckin sweet sound off of it :D

[morpher910]

@Hktr231

we all do.

[mo3o4]

I think I heard "sweet Child O'Mine" at the end, nice.

[borus55]

@mo3o4 nope u hear justin bieber

[95blake59]

What are the string changes for the Eb tuning?

[nowinterweather]

@95blake59 he might have recorded this one right after the mr brownstone one

[martyzsongs]

@nowinterweather you are correct, and I forgot to tune back up. good call

[PurityCurse]

@95blake59 Every string is just flattened. So E becomes Eb, A becomes Ab (or G#) and etc.

[AllanHP]

@95blake59 all of the strings are tuned half step down, quite simple...

[mad6986]

marty what kind of pickups do you have on the sg?

[shortkid614]

I voted for you and if i won that gibson that would save me from buying one in may!!

[RCShadow]

I don't do "Facebook"...I feel at a disadvantage lol. What a shame, I'd love to have a chance at a Gibson (my 45yo budget can't afford it with kids and all).

[ItsStephenSON]

im new to all this stuff and was wondering if you can incorporate the minor pentatonic scale into the modal system?

[yahyamed]

why is the video quality sucks !!!!

[bizzle1783]

sweet t-shirt

[nowinterweather]

hey marty, can i post one of my songs to the gibson page?

[yahyamed]

@nowinterweather i've just posted a video of me playing back in black in the page !!

[alanviciado]

[alanviciado]
