[MyNewPerspective1]

thanks lol

[MrTurttleManiac]

Is he playing wrong?

It says that the scale contains ACDEG notesbut he play's with 1st and 3rd finger which means that he hits 5th and 7th fret which is wrong because 7th fret is B note, not C...

Or am I just dumb?

[sevenotwofour]

He looks like Nicholas Cage :))

[dnon75]

Thanks alot for making these videos, you have helped me greatly.

[Frlja]

awesome video, really usefull for novice players like myself (1.5 years of self tought playing), thanks

[AustinLee25]

great lesson man learned it right away

[heroicham]

The blues aren't just about playing, but about feeling, you have to through all your emotion into the song you're playing, the blues are about sorrow, and you need to take your sorrow and turn it into music; Something bad and painful to something good and joyful.

[qwertyuiop46853]

these lessons are fuckin awesome, nuff said

[lozhkinet]

Man, you are the best!

[tydusfalls]

this is the most usefull video for beginers to blues guitar, nice one mate

[NaYLoAng]

Хм..Интересно интересно!)

[cloudstrifezackfair]

I love picking up my axe and always learning new things. I actually learned this a long time ago but thanks for the refreash. I've learned you can always take things and always add to them. Great vid.

[hhamed23]

[BUGMAN63]

[VultureCreations]

You can also listen to Vulture Creations to hear some blues and rock...

[Brentypooz]

Decending is hard :(

[Ztazify]

ZOMG you are the jesus of guitar

[Brentypooz]

[krishaan619]

HAHAHA, watch 10:24-10:28, JOKES!

[MrAZERSS]

FUCK!!!!

[adriman1992]

nice fender

[guitarnympho5]

why does he start on G when its an a minor pentatonic, or F when its a G minor? it doesnt make any sense... why?

[shutupsamandseth]

@guitarnympho5 because its in the fifth position, but your right, the root note is the second note he plays :)

[NickF97S]

@guitarnympho5 dont u get that hes doin thye scles in different keys

[goodman1507]

its the pattern 4 of the a minor pentanic doo,,go checkem ..

[JackSparrow2515]

Because that is how this scale is built. That's the note before the key note. If you play blues in A, you start from G. Try to play solo listening to "queen of space" (eric clapton). You'll hear that it sounds nice ;)

[kwp1977]

great class! thanks!!!

[youbigandfat2]

i like playing blues better than rock

[sprngrdave]

Dude! Thank's I've been practicing those box scales & now i see how to connect them. I Enjoy ALL your Video's !

[darinrios]

[donottawaguitar]

[torterra165]

[ChevroletFreak1969]

[spinto2009]

Very good lesson, very informative. I already can play it, although rather slow.

[sebil19]

wow one of the best guitar lessons i found on youtube so far! never learned a scale so quickly

[pumpkinBoy96]

cheers awsome help

[antoniojunior13]

you are a professional

sorry th lenguage  i am a brazilian

[tommymorgan999]

what does this do for me ????

[thebluesrockers]

keeps you in key when playing a lead. this is a basic map. there are more passing notes, but I'm sure he didn't want to make this a hard lesson to learn. it's a very good lesson. I've used this scale for years. you have to know what key you are in. like the key of D, is D,C,and G

or the key of A like what he is teaching are the chords A,C,G the root note is the note the key is based around. start on the root and end on the root for starters. and learn your keys. try playing with backing tracks.

[zatah1234]

i loike how he says G-STRING alot hahah lmao

[firegeek22]

ya me and my rhythm guitarist in my band were talking and he was like "g-string" and i wass like lol

[MrBaker0927]

Okay i just have one question. would you locate A,C, G, D notes around the fret by moving them with octaves? Like how the c note is 8th fret low e, would you locate it again on 5th fret d string?

[thebluesrockers]

take this scale and move it around to the root note to the low E and you can answer your own question.

[MrBaker0927]

I don't understand.

[thebluesrockers]

you have to know the first 12 frets on the low E the thickest string. from 1-12 are open is E, then F,F#,G,G#,A,A#,B,C,C#,D,D#,E. frets 1,2 3,4 5,6 7,8 9 10,11.12

take this scale he is showing you,and move it where it apply's. he explains this in A, so now you should know how this works.he didn't explain the best places to bend though. try bending the G string, and also the high E string.then try hitting the 2 notes that came before it in the scale. also try sliding this scale.

[BUGMAN63]

okay let me see if i got this,, when i jplay in the key of A ,, and the cord changes to the D i just do the pattern in the D box? and then when it goes to E the E box.. and back to A ,,, is this how i would do lead in the key of A>?

[OllieOrange123]

Bugman63 no if you played a basic blues chord sequence with A, D and E they are all in the key of A so you would only play A blues pentatonic over the whole thing, e.g. Johnny B Goode is B pentatonic blues the whole way, over all the chords.

[dawson8675309]

guys i gotta problem, when play guitar like right after i play solos from songs, i feel that i suck, but i don't , i feel stagnated, how do i get un stagnated? please help me

[kickassboyxx]

it always helps to try a new style and blend whatever your playing with it. Especially something expressive like jazz or flamenco or some funk

[hharrington05]

you expain things so well. Thanks so much.

[I200gI]

awesome leson

[freedyx90]

why do you start with G? isnt it A minor pentatonic?

[iceman10129]

"were gonna start on our e string at the a note"

[stratocasterfan94]

oww, so is it ok to start with any note that is in the A minor pentatonic intervals?

[iceman10129]

the note at the 5th fret of the 6th string is an A, the root note of the A minor

[stratocasterfan94]

owh, ok. i understand. thanks!

[Teutonic1250]

ha ha lol

[maxjourney15]

you can start on g and still be playing the a minor petatonic scale becasue A,C,D,E,G, are all the notes in the a minor pentatonic scale

[Indigosnakes]

Great teacher/guitarist and lesson.

[bones1138]

This is SO cool..It's really expanding my play style. U guys make me rock the sh*t out of my guitar! :D Great lesson

[perchdinner]

Super Dave, and super lesson. Thanks.

[kevin360king]

he's a good teacher! one of the best i saw on youtube..

[IdidThisForYouToSee]

great video! any criticism is way missed place, thank you tremendously, very helpful, gratifying, exercise.

[LeBnomiS]

accrroooooossssssssss the neck

good lesson ! thanks

[bpisan]

DT is flippin awesome... But sometimes he draws out some words wwaaaaaaayyyy too long (kinda like that.)

[xWDFxSavior]

David Taub really explains it well, while Marty Schwartz can show you how to play it without confusing the hell out of you.

You two guys should do a "duet" lesson. =P Nice vid

[rubberducky312]

nice lesson but all of the talking made it confusing, I like to just watch and repeat with a few pointers here and there.

[Arschratte123]

if you had some tabs to print for that, it would be cool

[YousufUllah]

he said that fingering works best lol hahahhaa sorry my bad :D

[dvon21]

Man, that's a nice strat!

[AlbieTom]

Great Vid!

[catfishmudflap]

Wow I got the blues as soon as you started playing!

[mickstakes]

this is a extract from a dvd so how do you know he doesnt explain the notes and intervals there ... but yet you run your mouth off like a tramp , you know your sad and only have the balls to say stuff like you do behind the safety of your computer screen..Your called a nerd / troll now bring your self hate elsewere

[DannyCreswell]

Thanks!

[mynewaccount80]

nice lesson thanks

[SBguitar3592]

EarlOfDublin I challenge you to take the time out of your life to create youtube guitar lessons that are easy to comprehend and follow, along with improving the watcher's chops and technique.

Since you're CLEARLY a much superior guitarist and instructor, surely you'll have enough confidence to show up one of the most subscribed instructors on youtube.

Get busy son.

[southparklovrlol]

LOL, mind i ask why are you bothering to watch these videos then? and why bother posting your negative and fucking retarded comment? you're truely a fucking moron

[corpsemunger]

he's even subbed rockongoodpeople!

[mannnymanny]

shut up. your an idiot! stupid!! dave taub and all of nextlevel guitar is one of the BEST learning methods. your a frickin idiot.

great lesson guys!!!!!!

[rockindavid310]

not the best, but good ^^

[krnboi06]

Great lesson! this helped me out a lot!!!! =)

[spaceage69]

fantastic lesson

[IBRockin]

Thanks so much. That explains a lot.

[icerider606]

was david the first next level guitar teacher

[blackship14]

that was a very sweet lesson

[Tezman82]

Thanx for the tips!

[722erodz]

teach me :]

[PilotDoofy]

I watch a lot of these lessons just to see what these guys have to say about stuff and how they word it so I can better explain it to people myself.

So that might be a reason why you'd watch it even if this is old news to you?

[SBguitar3592]

this entire channel is amazing. so much knowledge and material from people who ACUALLY know what they're talking about.

[dayone54]

Your still the best David. I cant wait to get back on my feet so i can come back to ur website.

debbie york:)

[trelikardia83]

I love your lessons you're by far one of the best out there!

[xJurzu]

Great lesson

[jamboy711]

It's a scale

[yoemt]

nice lesson

[NearlyNormalSteve]

Maybe you could spend your time acquiring keyboarding skills.

[nickyjohnson102]

good lesson,but i also think it'd be good to practice the higher end of the exercise using your 4th finger more,for exmaple using the 2nd and 4th fingers to fret the G and A note on the B string and C and D on the E string, to help get strength in the 4th finger and also to get you into the habit of using it instead of finding ways not to use it

[SamTalmadge]

learning how to use your pink is way important. your right theyre not very great at teaching about that

[psychodelicdragon]

man, i love these guys!!

i have a fender music master from 1960's

i got this when i was in grade school.

what can a person play with one these?

i think it only has 1 pickup on it.

i have a matching fender tube amp that i got at the same time.

i listen to rock, metal, blues and anything like it.

i would like to try and play again.

any suggestions greatly appreciated.

[SK3Nives]

damn, I feel so much more opened up from this scale

[ughthisisgay123]

ok i have a question.......

i really dont feel like clapton flyies all over the neck...he is usually in one position..and he plays is still amazing at what he does....isent that worth people's respect more than anything ?? being able to stay in one position, and still be as they say "a guitar god" rather than having to fly all over the neck to get the same effect ????

thanks to all....

[cobracarg]

tell me where he just uses one position?

let me give you an example where he uses mutiple positions... wonderful tonight....

the intro riff is played somewhere in the 12 fret position... the solo he does uses the 3rd fret position and 15 fret position...

[ughthisisgay123]

no what i mean is he isent the type of player that flies all over the fretboard like lets say SRV...if you know what i mean...

and to answer your question check out the layla solo...live...at the madison square garden.....

there is a version of it here on youtube....

[cobracarg]

well....in the layla intro he plays the little bass melody.... thats one position....and then he plays the bass meoldy octives higher along with the lead....another position....and techniquely in the solo, he uses the expanded scale so thats another position... thats 3 positions he used in that song.

[6bangersndmash9]

its all about soul man, not the amount of notes you can play

[ral003]

yeah, i mean B.B. King, king of the blues plays very very few notes but he's got a lot of soul, and thats a win. Without soul it doesnt matter you can play 5000000000 notes per second

[GretschGod]

Too true man. Those mental palyers man be fast, but at the end of the day its complete nonsence. And I saw BB King a few months back.. HE ROCKED!

[floydzeplizzy]

It seems to me like Clapton actually plays different shapes, though it's mostly first, second and third shape pentatonic stuff with some added notes. But i do agree with you that playing relatively simple stuff that still sound amazing is more impressive than shredding all over the neck.

[tmobil8]

Im digging this Dave ;-) My first introduction was that same exact practice by Randy Rhodes himself back in 76. Thanks agian Dave - Best Regards- Thomas

[Asking4Disaster]

dude you took lessons from randy?

[tmobil8]

LOL i was 10 at the time my next door niabor went to the same high school as i went to the same years later but Randy and him would play guitar together at the time Randy and Kevin and Kelly there was one more named Drew i think, didnt see much of him , they were all friends playing locally in Burbank, CA where i was born, i was 10 so he showed me easy stuff he first showed me what an arrpaggio was knowing him but of course i didnt get it. blues scales the same ones Dave here shows.

[Asking4Disaster]

thats crazy man, an awesome memory to have, do you mean kevin dubrow?

[tmobil8]

yeah, Kevin was cool but wa always moving around like he was on speed or something, he would walk to the corner to get us some drinks or something he didnt pay to much attention to me like Randy did Randy saw me as a potential student i guess lol he loved to play, he would tell things like remember your root 3rd and 5th notes or get your g-chord down and will talk more lol, but i also remember Randy from my friend who would tell me that he would get colds a lot and not go to school somedays.

[Asking4Disaster]

that amazing that you got to meet him, let alone play with him, how old was he at the time? Was he a good guy? I can't explain how cool it is hearing about my guitar god, thanks man

[tmobil8]

Guitar God huh well i guess but to me he will always be Randy someone i looked up to, someone with a great heart, very kind, he would laugh a lot at things , jokes , things of that nature, pulling pranks i think was Kevins style they would go shopping for clothes on sunset and on the weekends i would see them in these cool stage clothes, stripes , Randy with his bow ties crazy stuff like they were millionares, they were later on but to me those guys were like homeboys to me. Heydude your welcome

[Johnnygogone]

Were is Tim these days , he should get the guitar out and lets see his progress , be nice to see him play sumthin..

[aubreywithoutYou]

Hey DT! how can you get your pinky to follow you around like that?? mine always seems to stick *off* of the fretboard! not really a problem, but it can slow you down i suppose if you are trying to play fast. Thanks

[xXBlinDXx12]

well im not sure how he has that habbit to stick it there but try playing stuff that makes ur pinky perpare to land on the fret board. maybe that might help ur pinky atleast be hovering over the frets.

[mkstreets]

you guys rock ! great lessons. check out my band please !

[Trinivalts]

Nice tone!

[rockpwnsu]

just noticed inlays are on the pair frets

[lespaulrules123]

i got a really good way to learn keys. if you know the notes in the key and know the notes on the fret board bam!

[sp1tfire4194]

awesome lesson man!

[DEFkon001]

heh, I have this DVD set, totally worth it!

[NyrockXZX]
