The Blues Classical Acoustic Guitar Shred

[CallMetheMusicMan]

Is that all pentatonic shiz?

[jaywitt119]

@CallMetheMusicMan It's got some pentatonic use in there, it mainly shifts between the blues scale, natural minor scale and also, as you say, the pentatonic for the quick two note per string runs.

Speed is not everything... but this guy has somekind of felling in to it too , so it ' s very good ; p

[icaari]

hey man just wondering if you could give me a hint on what to practice to get such awesome speed??

[jaywitt119]

@icaari

Mainly you want to work on your alternate picking approach, knowledge of the scales you intend to use, and also the stamina of your left and right hands. I use a lot of Paul Gilbert licks so these are a great place to start to find some interesting ways around scales without just going up and down! Also, make sure you start slow and build up gradually, that way the speed will just feel easiernd your playing will sound better as a result!

[icaari]

@jaywitt119 thanx man, that is exactly the problem i have been facing, struggling to break out of the up and down with scales.

[parasitaires]

Good chops there. You just played just about every Paul Gilbert lick known in history.

[Rudylikesfun]

its more jazzy than bluesy

[thebowlingc1]

at last a true player who combines the soul of blues and the power of classical, very impressed!

[rockerresident]

woah that was awesome

[rootiful]

your blues game is WAY UP... you need to record me some riffs so i can turn them into hip hop!

[GeorgeSaag]

I love your attack on the strings...a couple of riffs you did reminded me of some old Emerson,Lake & Palmer....Live concert in Ohio back in the 70's....Rock on man....

[samgc14]

[jaywitt119]

Thank you very much for all the comments! In response to gbluez, it is a Breedlove Atlas, the spruce top model.

[kossolas]

great playing my friend!very fast and clean acoustic shredding!really nice!

[omedalder]

nice......

[rizzleman]

Omfg god skill. Anyone who shreds on Acoustic is bad ass. People under estimate how much harder it is to play on acoustic compared to electric, you're working against the strength of the strings.

[stabilized1]

THE BEST

[gbluez]

awesome

what kind of guitar is that?

[mhmSKO]

awsome!

[Pichounator]

It makes mE CryY!...

[mikeberk810]

This is great! No way near enough acoustic guitar shredding going on these days.

Keep it up,

Michael berk

[BobbyDuwitz]

This is great, you should buy a nice mic.

[ShalomYal]

Awsome speed and lots of great RAW talent BUT you sacrificed too much in tone and groove for speed. Check out some videos of Lightnin Hopkins to get the feelin - you wont be disapointed. Thanks for the playin.

[lonewolfshogun]

awesome

[anderson0]

What he said...

[helyar]

I liked the last hit, its all about timing nowadays! You should get a whole video library up of different styles J-Dilla. All in all, very fast and very rhythmy.

Holla
