[tinhokikoguitar]

wes montgomery fingers!!!!

[JIRIC8581]

haha its easy got it in like 3 mins n did it with eyes closed

[LastOfSixMusic]

This guy makes such a valid point... It's not about the speed at all...(i.e., sorry 80's)...

Cool scale pattern too which could be incorporated in numerous innovative ways...

Thanks for the post...!

[1shin123]

[renzBG]

[timothe221]

HOLY SHIT 2 FIIISSTT

[azkeyz]

Guitarists do one thing and one thing only.

Buckethead !

This video is a good primer for bucketheads harmonic dissplacement.

Good for bach too if you think about BWV 847

To see a brother play this good gives me hope for humanity.

[TheKroooky]

@Qwaybabii

Use harmonics to tune your guitar:

Flageolet on the low e-string, fith fret is the same note as flageolet on the a-string, 7th fret etc

For the b-string:

Flageolet on the low e-string, 7th fret -- b-string 12th

You hear a kind of vibration between the 2 notes if they're not exactly the same.

[xnotoriousss]

@TheKroooky playing 5 and 0 is much faster for me

[TheKroooky]

@xnotoriousss

of course it's faster, but harmonics are more precise =)

[BlueLeppard]

I love this guy's enthusiasm. It brightens my day. lol

[Qwaybabii]

um how can you tune your guitar with out a tuner

[worldindusa]

@Qwaybabii

step 1) open your internet browser

step 2) go to google

step 3) type the following: "how to tune a guitar without a tuner"

step 4) press enter

[p00417]

@Qwaybabii Tune it by ear

[andrewmccarty]

woah! i live in carlsbad! i freaked out when you said carlsbad! hahaha

[heythinkaboutit]

1.17-1.29: greatest song ever! I know it´s just an exercise but if you present this to someone as a song the reaction might be pretty funny

[jo951000]

Man idk if I should get one tomorrow. I feel like I'll never learn how to play a electric guitar.

[uutooyu]

change up your picking hand man. he uses too much pick and flat picking style. guitar is hella outta tune.

[PhuckHue2]

this lesson got me sweating

[ifearthedark666]

this guy is just so cool ...:D

[Hcirteid]

@ifearthedark666 he is. I randomly ran into him last night at the bar. We chilled all night.  he's down to earth and very personable.

[ifearthedark666]

@Hcirteid woah haha :D it would be awesome to meet this guy in person :D

[NicholasBarrios]

EWW! haha, that fretboards GRIMEY!

[mEtAlMaNiAc787]

@NicholasBarrios ewwww yeah i no i thought i was the only one that noticed that

he needs to clean it or something

[Abdelmadishabneh]

@yiyobertin Apparently every black man looks like Will Smith or Obama

[Tofino888]

It would be great if you posted the tab for this at some point in the video so we could copy it down! I'll do it myself though...

Thanks for the excercise, it's always fun to have a new thing to practice.

[Crokshire]

STOP YELLING AT ME!

[shadow0116957]

Why 2 fist

[readmycomments100]

you can just tell that he would be the best guy in real life

[ToughKevin]

Thanks for the lesson Willi. It must be hard slowing down for us beginners. In the second scale, if I dare use the word, you missed saying the fourth note comes from the A string 3rd fret. Your video and audio is so good though that it is not hard to pick it out.

Namaste,

Kevin

[eukicos]

will billy was in holidays ! ahaha

[This19]

Living in "Californ-eye-ay" isn't nearly as cool as it used to be, so pronouncing it like it's a cool destination is funny to hear. lol

[ElushaHellrose]

It's time to clean da fuckin' frets.

[omegalen]

@ElushaHellrose no shit ;D

[SpawnThe131]

Great lesson thanks for takin the time to show us.

[BoL7zy]

Am I the only one who thinks this guy looks like a skinny version of Howard from KSE?

[Xmack45X]

@kaleluk31

yah it does... cus im good and you are a wanna be. and the report button is for p*ssies. please dont tell your mommy on me... and trolls are mythical creatures. you dont make sense

[PabloFireFrenzy]

@Xmack45X

Actually he makes quite a bit of sense. First of all, nobody cares how well you play, if you appreciate guitar, then that's all you have in common. Secondly, "trolling" is a term used to describe someone who will (randomly) post a comment that doesn't help anyone and is just plain mean, usually made by assholes.

[rockindavid310]

@PabloFireFrenzy

Your a fuckin idiot!

[PabloFireFrenzy]

@rockindavid310 Well I'm sorry you think that,

I bet you would like me :D

I like you :D

[rockindavid310]

@PabloFireFrenzy

Trollin example ftw buddy! ;D

LOL

[PabloFireFrenzy]

@rockindavid310 I thought so :p but I had to be sure ;)

I like your guitar

[rockindavid310]

@PabloFireFrenzy

Thank you! :D

I'm glad I switched back to acoustic :P

[ferrarimk13]

his fretboards all need some cleaning! haha

[Mrravena]

Man you really positive guy. Good lesson!

[brooscaar]

you have big, hendrixy hands :)

[email11123]

@brooscaar (In deep rednecky voice)

I likes my mans with big hendrixy hands.

[brooscaar]

@email11123 It was a compliment, chill out! :)

[ttttkk2]

The frets look dirty haha

[PerfectCreations]

Awesome lesson, Thanks

[DazedAndConfused1974]

Awesome lesson man. Good stuff. ...The phrasing in this sounds a bit like something that Omar from The Mars Volta would use.... On a side note, no offense but the guitar tone in this one is a bit ugly haha.

[LouKrew]

best host

[CodyCEngdahl]

Thanks, Willie!  This works great for us bluegrassers too.

[willbilly2fistmcgee]

lace sensors.

[MattArashi]

Masz ujebaną gitare.

[truedimebagdarrell]

[guitarplayingdork100]

[JerryAmoz]

Awesome lesson.

[ItsStephenSON]

[boneprone00]

Great warm up exercise,and the guitar looks worn not dirty.if you had a 62 strat would you not play it coz the necks worn?

[itsallgood239]

[b44styreraug]

720bpm?! wtf!

[tak178]

Will BILLLLLLLAAAAY!

Good to see you back, brother!

[surrealIdeal]

its hard... its usefull!

[mxpxcrazydont]

guitar needs a little TLC... ^^

[kaleluk31]

Im a very beginner, i have an electric guitar, im left handed. when i put my fingers to the frets i feel lost because i don't know what all the notes are and there positions or the relationship between what frets you hold down to what strings you strike.

i want to learn

[kaleluk31]

Basically because i get lost it sounds very jumbled, very random sounds quite awful infact

[J0EMOMMA726]

@kaleluk31 learn scales, learn the major scale, not the on that uses only one string or one position but learn the whole scale all the way across the neck.

[Xmack45X]

@kaleluk31 lol fag

[kaleluk31]

@Xmack45X your an idiot, buzz off troll

[Xmack45X]

@kaleluk31 whats a troll? you're just jealous because you suck at guitar and im so good =P

[kaleluk31]

@Xmack45X what your doing now, thats trolling

and your insult has no basis for comparison

give up harrasing me or ill report you

[8thH0k4ge]

@kaleluk31 no no no...scales,pentatonic scales are too hard..don't listen to other people. Learn some chords, G,C,A,D etc.(aka whole chords)Learn how many strings are used to strum each chord. learn finger placements,and dont hesitate and have a comfortable feel.Listen to some music artists that interest you. Learn some of your favorite songs.aafter that..get a teacher :D thats what helped me. 2 years and counting!!!! and im still a begginner!! theres decades to learn!!!!

[aitsBRAD]

@8thH0k4ge I cant allow you to recommend this to anyone, you should not spend more than 1 week learning only cords and strum patterns, you have to introduce pentatonics early on either in slow sample solos or exercises

by the time they are proficient on that they will have superior solo and rhythm skills

if you have any realistic musical goals such as a band it is going to happen around high school. so as you may learn all your life it is critical that you learn early and fast

[aitsBRAD]

@aitsBRAD ive only been playing for 2 years but i practiced, learned quickly, learned what only needed and now i would consider my self as intermediate- advanced

and am the only guitarist in a succesful band that plays in front of thousans of people

[DaGuitarlearner69]

@aitsBRAD yeah what band?Cause you must be good to put up comments like this

[lemmonorange68]

@aitsBRAD you must not listen to a lot of music if you think you're "the only guitarist in a succesful band that plays in front of thousans of people".

[fonzarelli]

@lemmonorange68 he clearly meant that he was the only guitarist in the band, not the only guitarist in the world.

He's still a faggot, though.

[lemmonorange68]

@fonzarelli, haha yes you're probably right. Either way it's not for me to decide what people mean to say I can only be sure of what they actually say.

[aw350meman69]

I'm enjoying these intermediate targeted lessons, i didn't quite get them when i used to see them, but now i can use the for good practice, thanks NLG!

[hardrockermetallica]
