Hi David,

long timer watcher of your videos and I´ve to tell you, that your lessons are absolutely amazing. I have a guitar teacher who teaches the Electric Guitar based on the Berklee Method. A good method but from time to time it get´s a little boring and so we decided to take a break from time to time and it was on me to come up with some stuff to " fill " theese breaks. One day I came up with stuff of one of your vids..and since that day, my teacher really LIKES the breaks.

[zkira67light]

i never got any ebook from you guys am i doing something wrong?

[Kyyp3r]

G major + this pattern--->Family Frost

[gitfiddlio]

Is anyone else reminded of the opening solo to 'When Doves Cry' by some of the descending e minor stuff?

[TAJIRI09]

David,

Thanks again for another fantastic lesson. Can't tell you how much you have helped me with my playing and understanding. I'm finally getting away from TABs and now attempting to read more and more music!  That is something I never thought I would be able to do! Thanks again!!!

Signed:

-One of the good people!

[santanaincubus]

its about time he played some metal

[vrphotographyvids]

Thanks for the tips, not just on this video but your entire channel! I've been making my way thru some of the videos and have already bettered my playing 10x over! Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? I'm gonna be a shreddin' momma before long. Thanks again!

[Peti1230]

You look like Nowitzki:)

[hardy89jeff]

you remind me of nicholas cage

[dmaradona10]

Wow not only can Dirk Nowitski win an NBA championship, but he can play guitar too? (You like Nowitski)

[Fatstratmatt96]

Why do you kick so much ass!?! Why David!?! WHY!?!

[Th3M1racl3]

David, just thank you for this lessons!!!

[carolinidi]

Thank you! keep up the good work!

[flywa27]

hey david, i've got a question, what guitar is good for a beginner? i'm asking you becuase i want to get an electric guitar so bad, i'm kind of new in this and i don't know what guitar should i get, by the way awesome lessons!!, greetings from Venezuela!! sorry for my bad english!

[rockongoodpeople]

a good versitile guitar for a good value is the fender mexican made stratocaster - you can find them used on ebay and your local craigslist at good prices - check them out and rock on!

[TheKeithy24]

@rockongoodpeople What's a decent price for one?

[zroserg]

@flywa27 Ibanez makes pretty high quality guitars for pretty cheap. :) I started with a basic hardtail Ibanez RG and have had it for 2 years and finally moved up to a bc rich mockingbird pro x. :)

[makiimedia]

@flywa27 i would recommend the yamaha pacifica or a les paul by epiphone. the pacifica was my first guitar and i still play on it 3 years later. it s around 200 bucks and has everything you need to get started. the standard les paul by epiphone is basically a cheaper but not really worse version of the original gibson les pauls. very cool bluesy sound for around 400 bucks. I m actually playing on one atm and i love everything about it! hope this might help you to decide :)

[Piotrshepard]

@flywa27 just pinting out u can also get a cheaper guitar like squire or epiphone :)

[zachdamacattack]

@flywa27 i know i'm not "david" but i think i can help you. If you're really serious don't go and get a first act guitar because they are verrrrrry crappy. you should try an epiphone or a squier. Both are fairly cheap and have bueno quality. And your english was pretty good bro

[MrGreendaymaniac]

@flywa27 im not even joking venizuala is my favorite country because its got the biggest waterfall.

[nesa407]

thanx again and wheres my pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol ur a great teacher man,love that piece at a time theory.Ur videos i bought have improved my playing greatly.Just a piece at a time.Best 6 videos i ever bought!!!!

[zx1357]

not to be a dick, but it would be cool if at the beginning of the lesson you could play what you are going to teach first so we don't have to listen to you talk about it for two minutes when we're not sure if we want to learn it or not

[ThePaulSack]

cool channel - best wishes PAUL

[spoddie]

You are skipping seconds, not thirds.

[NanoGuitarist]

I didnt know Dirk Nowitzki could play guitar

It's magic!

and this is a gr8 vid!

[hawg427]

David, Love the guitar videos but let's throw in a few of your dog every now and then. Cat lovers can go to another channel. LOL

[djajkn]

i just call this intervals. you should practice with more than just this interval

[Annonymus121]

Nice Les Paul!

[helldx07]

Awesome 57's!!

[jeremyfonseca7]

This may sound weird, but is it possible to hold the camera upside down so its easy to see as if it was facing us? But great stuff! thanks for showing this to us.

[fernandorivadequesad]

David you are really usefull and a great player

[Jagdwurststulle]

Great lesson, very helpful. Gonna use that technique in our new song!

[AxlTerry94]

That intro riff really sucked, I think we need to breakdown songs from say rolling stones 500 or the best of legendary songs that changed the world not just what someone can do on the street I'm 16 wanting to make it big and I'm learning songs of the billboards lol

[MBrokenString]

@AxlTerry94 HAHAHAHAHAHA

[jjvg1973]

Hey Dave, I clicked on the link, and the link is not working. I would be very interested in recieving your pdf ebook you just wrote

[smp156]

is this guy like 9 feet tall? he makes a les paul look like a eukelalee

[Murderwink1]

Awesome :)

please do a guide on writing and playing punk music, like Sum 41, New Found Glory, Good Charlotte, etc. I guess thats really pop punk lol, but still, please help me and many others and make a guide on how to write and play stuff like that :D

[mightynorman]

@Murderwink1

you don't need knowledge to play punk.

[MYEYESONECONOMY]

@mightynorman true, only the 4 chord progression xD

[abar1204]

@Murderwink1 sum 41 and good charlotte isnt punk. punk is leftover crack, the clash, the ramones, etc..

[Murderwink1]

@abar1204 They play a style of punk called pop punk. Look it up.

[abar1204]

oh true i didnt see that you said it was "pop punk"

[ImmaDwarfKicker]

@Murderwink1 you really dont need a lesson for that. Most of those songs are just power chords with a little intro riff.

We used to sing this pattern in my choir class, so it's pretty cool that you can apply it to guitar, too. :)

Does this scale have a name

[giorgosma]

hmmm i like this video gj

[gamvidys]

Rockon! I like!=)

[sykhophaunt7]

whats the difference between a major scale and minor scale ??

[RedVstheBlue]

@sykhophaunt7

In theory? The Third, in the sound Minor sounds more sad, where as major sounds more happy. Go ahead and look up the shapes to learn how to play them.

[graysongerni]

@sykhophaunt7 a minor scale has a flat 3rd and 7th

[RedVstheBlue]

@graysongerni

Good to stress thats Natural Minor, as Harmonic Minor has the major 7th.
