[Corruptedxxx]

[FemoDOGG]

I've seen enough of these multiple times that now I say "Ch-ch-ch-ch-Channel!!"  Right along with you. :D

[Guitartricks]

@FemoDOGG allright!

[UltiMogr]

[skaterocker666]

This guy is funny!

[valdivia562]

you should put up a video of you screaming

[megasuperblast]

he sounds like amir, from jake and amir

[kptheradiostar]

Neil you are a fantastic teacher. I was wondering if you might know of any patterns within the pentatonic besides the normal descending and ascending that you could show. during solos i feel like im doing the same thing lol

[Guitartricks]

@kptheradiostar yeah, just search "pentatonic" under our lessons and you should get some good stuff. -Neal

[giovannni77]

Hahaha Its too cool to scream in the guitar you are cool man

[Guitartricks]

@giovannni77 thanks, screaming is good!

[hinganiban]

You're amazing! your ways of instruction are quick to learn! more power to you!

[Guitartricks]

@hinganiban Awesome, I'm glad you like 'em. Thanks for watching!! -Neal

[sk8poika]

Guitar cha cha cha channel :D

[09223351701]

how can you make that guitar sound?what kind of effects do you use?

[drinkspecials]

People- there are no short cuts. If you can't put in the time, play guitar hero. Others- Practice...Practice...practice­..practice....

[claux23]

I can't talk right now. I'm screaming into my guitar.

[MilindaX]

WHERE WERE YOU ALL MY LIFE?????????????????

Thanks for all the neat tips!

[Guitartricks]

@MilindaX Haha, I was here the whole time, you're welcome! -Neal

[trapsforminecraft]

hi i know alot of pentatonics for e standard but i can seem to make a fast solo out of it any teips for speeding up? or not missing a note out of the scales?

[Guitartricks]

@trapsforminecraft missing notes: keep practicing, slowly enough so that you aren't missing any notes, then increase speed. Faster: try #11, there are some great pentatonic speed licks there and they aren't hard. -Neal

[mikkozq]

@trapsforminecraft You don't want to get fast right away, it will come with time. Things have to be practiced slowly, you can't run if you can't even walk.

[punx8086]

I'm self taught and I'm really getting into writing music right now but I never learned the scales and music theory. been playing for 15 years...I find it frustrating when writing because I can't find a chord progression I like and the scales take me forever.....I have the muscle memory down to a tee but I'm behind in the theory side of things...All the lessons in this seem like they would take years.....Any one have any help on how they learned scales and progressions????

[mussman717word]

2:04 - kudos for the Zeppelin lick.

[MegaBRUTI]

Yeah I screamed in the middle of the night my dogs started to bark

[xxjohnnyxx89]

i need to start learning about pentatonic scales, can you brief me on them?

[element37217]

oh thats why i was hearing voices in my amp....

[FlashmoreGash]

Beautiful blue color too your guitar///....really enjoy your sense of humour and style of teaching....top job!

[Ch0s3n4Aggres510n1]

Neal, you sure like screaming into your guitar huh? Lol cab you do a lesson on hammer-ons and pull-offs?

[RedneckGuitarPlayer]

"Ch-ch-ch-CHANNEL!!!"

[rpunk85]

over acted bald

[TheTonioXoret]

Really, really, really thank you. This lesson really opened my mind. You're really useful. Greetins from Chile.

[Guitartricks]

@TheTonioXoret Thank you, glad I could help out some! Neal

[Gitarrist85]

Hey Neal, is there a technique to learn this pentatonic scales more faster? It isn't stay for long time in my mind...Please send me an PM, when you read this^^

[Guitartricks]

@Gitarrist85 Yes, learn it slow first then it will sink and and it will seem faster! :) Neal

[TalonWolf]

Good lessons, dude. I'm a self taught guitarist and know most of what's in the lessons from screwing around for the past 6 years, but I wish you were about before I was put off letting anyone teach me after the droning on of diminished whatsits and note-reference as opposed to simply saying fret numbers etc.

You make your lessons simplified and easy to understand without pointless jargon. I wish everyone taught through practicing finger patterns. Guitar shouldn't be a chore, after all!

[Guitartricks]

@TalonWolf Thanks TalonWolf!

I hear similar stories about Guitar Tricks, maybe you should give it a go?

Rock on!

Neal

[nikolaishrederguy]

hey neal u should show us how to do that riff in the beggining of this lesson

[Guitartricks]

@nikolaishrederguy I did! just for you: #72

[puppetmetal]

When soloing in a Pentatonic Scale, are you supposed to solo in the Relative Minor if the song is in a Major Key and vice versa?

[Guitartricks]

@puppetmetal Nope, it's simpler than that: minor for minor, major for major. It's just that the note pattern is the same for the relative key. -Neal

[MaidensWrath]

I've been practicing that scale thing you taught me, and I put my amp outside my house and played it and my neighbor came over and told me to stop playing >:)

[Guitartricks]

@MaidensWrath Haha, same thing happened to me! -Neal :)

[aaronmackguitar]

2:08 - 2:10 = jimmy paige

[Guitartricks]

@aaronmackguitar cool! :)

[PopeyeTheSailorman14]

WHY IS IT SO EASY 4 U!?!?? gblechplegh. humbug

[Guitartricks]

@PopeyeTheSailorman14 8 years of lessons and a mom who wouldn't let me stop! Don't give up if you want to play that badly -Neal

[bigsmoke760]

DAMN WHAT EFFECTS ARE YOU USING ,WHAT KIND OF GUITAR AND PICK UPS? I HAVE A LES PAUL AND WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THAT SOUND, THANKS !

[Guitartricks]

@bigsmoke760 Hi bigsmoke, stock pickups in a 'Robot' Les Paul through a Pod X3 Live with some phaser? and reverb.  Thanks!! :)) -Neal

[ilikebacontacos]

i only have single coils

i cant yell in them :(

[Guitartricks]

@ilikebacontacos you can but you just wouldn't hear anything out the other side. ;) -Neal

[tacoface89]

basically sounded like he was playing the one lead part from electric funeral

[dued27]

your blowing my mind dude! i did the screaming thing and my neighbor yelled, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" and i yelled, "FUCK YOU!" back to him through my guitar pickups! hahahaha im subscribed now!

[Guitartricks]

@dued27 haha! Rock n Rolll !!

Neal

[konataxmiyuki]

@dued27 dude that fucking awesome (ROFL) 

[adrianSlasher]

[ERN368]

I heard voices from my guitars.....HAUNTED FRETBOARDS !!!

[TheMartialartguy]

I love that, blue gibson :D isnt there a blue epiphone too? O: like that?

[munky2089]

Please review the zoom g9.2tt properly, there arent any good ones on youtube

[amanuelamanuel]

cool tips, I'm wondering though if the "screaming through the pickups" thingy works on all mics?

[nicklassayshi]

Any tips on how to do the "scream thru the pick-ups"-technique, 'cus I can't seem to get it working. I use an Epiphone Dot with standard pick-ups.

I saw Jon Foreman do it, and I've been wanting to do it for ages, but can't! Help!

[guitarfreek1]

you needs lots of gain. paul gilbert does this at the end of "get out of my yard"

[Guitartricks]

Haha..no, some are borrowed, some are mine and some are part of our giveaways.

Thanks for watching!

[Deathscythegz00]

[Guitartricks]

I don't play that clean when I'm drunk, I'm just goofy

~Neal

[puppetmetal]

Is the Pentatonic Scale a Major Pentatonic or Minor Pentatonic?

[Guitartricks]

It's Minor but it would be Major in the key of G using the same scale, cool trick! :)

~Neal
