Insane Crazy Badass Guitar Lesson: Em Blues Licks

[AccolitaDiRancorosi]

shut up and play the fucking guitar!

[Em1nenceFr0nt]

I think Dave's cool, and has bad ass chops. . .

[pleaseu2nite]

You should give tab hand outs or use a notation software that records wht you play but great lesson

[elvarwinston]

great lessons you have keep it up!

[mackeyf4L]

@Arazmo. dude tele's are the only way to go main!

[TotalSweetness100]

yes you are a beast guitar player. but could you please teach that riff your playing. ?? 

[alexmejia26]

Dude, you are awesome period.

[lb8684]

Dave, what distortion effect were you using when you made this video??

[HOOKAMONKY]

KICK AZZ BRUTHA!!

[lb8684]

Dave, I've been watching this on and off for a couple months: you shred ridiculous.

[lb8684]

Congratulations, by the way.

[7HEMUSIC]

i'm jealous of your fly.

[Arazmo]

sold it for cheap about 3 months ago.... been playing the Tele...

[7HEMUSIC]

cool - i have a tele strat custom.. did you order your fly custom or did you buy it from a store?

[Lagomort]

I am going down to Florida, finding you, and gluing a big ol' wig to your head,,

[dustin8420]

G sharp F flat crap doesn't help me a bit.. Post some tablature, please.

[lb8684]

'Ole Dave is surely far too busy shredding to stop, prepare and post a bunch of tabs, dude. It's not at all challenging to learn some theory: everybody starts somewhere.

[ConstantineGuitar]

Learn the notes it's not hard.

[ubershredder1989]

omg u r so fucking sick

[johnnypetruccy]

Reeeeeeally nice. :)

[addicted0620]

oh wow ! ! ~ just finished watching many of your videos. Man you are so fucking cool man!

[Arazmo]

[SirFightsalot]

rofl unless ur drivin a porsche or somethin then it doesnt matter...gotta love that :P

[andijep]

Too much talking ..oprah would like your hair!!

[triadblues]

[davidarlette]

You know when you hear something and it just makes you smile? Those big descending bends did that for me. Aaaaaawesome!

[stuntman4994]

dude you are good but nobody cares about ur fucking hair!!!

[gibsonsglover09]

lovin' the parker dude!

[Sonny453]

This guy talks alot...

[Xmalibur]

Im still growing my hair I don't give a shit what business people think.

[streetskating101]

hes sick

[BloodGutsGore]

very impressive playing man! Are you a fan of Joe Bonasmassa by any chance? Cause he's definitely got your style of playing

[zulu26]

awesome. can u post a lesson on how to do those fast riffs? i can do all basic easy stuff but then im blown away and cant even follow what ur doing with the insane shit. keep postin tho we're definitely watchin

[konel05201]

help!! what was the scale to that lick at 1:10 - 1:13!! =[

[rewiredll]

look at the name of the video... It clearly says "Em Blues Licks". So my guess would be... hmm, this is tricky but i have to go for Em.

[juliouus]

E minor blues, if you want some scale... write to my mail, scales in 22 frets.

[Jwinstrand]

Dude! you're funny as hell. I cant even function without coffee and you seem to be doing well here! Thanks for sharing music!

[lwshien]

awesome guitar playing and awesome hair cut =)

[1peoplesun]

[lookylooky2006]

[Xmalibur]

[Insaneryuno]

[casperfren]

[joshscottwilk]

unfrikinbeleivable bro!

[Sk8board15chris]

Amazing....Are you in a band? because if your not DAMMMN! you should be.

[Goknor]

to all those smart-asses who try to diss him: if you cant play as good as him you have to badmouth him....suckers... he may talk a bit too much, but after all, it'sa guitar lesson and he has to explain what he is playing...You rock dude XD

[wawacat01]

yeah man why is everybody hating this guy, i love all his videos, and hes halarious

[gavinmorris]

I did get something out of that! Very cool. Please adjust the talk/play ratio though :)

[Raffael717]

He´s talking the hole time.....this is shit

[thedolces]

[kingkai97gf9]

[mo28mabini]

[jaimeawesome09]

that guitar looks wierd with that thng like that

[randomlettrz]

the only downpoint to parkers is tht when u r sittin down playin em the strt to dig into ur side

[jdawg4098]

Great video. I need to learn how to break out of that 2nd minor pentatonic pattern, I almost never break it. Theres alot to learn in here but your lack of fret markers confuses me =(

[logandrummer23]

You just gotta learn the guitar and then youll pick it up with out looking at the fret markers!

[poppunkcansucka20]

this is coming from a drummer lol

but your right

[Lzryde]

that dude has sweet jammies (pajamas)

[vidbloke]

Hi

cool hat; great playing and lesson. Nice to see a decent guitar.

Cheers

[randomstuff3201]

Sick. Just sick...

[Donincal]

Dude there is so much stuff to pick up on in this video. I love that kind of sound and playing. I'll get a great deal out of this thank you very much.

[logandrummer23]

The parker he is playing is great for that sound and it has the versatility of changing to an acoustic too!

[johnnytonight]

could you slow down that mess of notes at the (12th fret) E box? you explain the slow parts of your riffing very well, don't get me wrong. but for the fast parts, you just stare into the camera and play as fast as you can. why only slow down the parts that are already slow(ish)?

[frankeesh]

lose the hat and get a strat bro..have a nice day

[Arazmo]

I have 2 Teles.... I prefer them over the Strat overall.

[DannyBoy777]

These Lessons are great Dave, very decent of you to do them. Alot of guitar "lessons" on YouTube don't really teach properly but your considered approach is great. Nice one mate. Oh and I agree with the whole short hair/long hair thing :).

[danwerty]

do you use a pick?

cause when I started playing guitar, I only used fingerpicking, and now I just can't adjust to using a pick...

what do you recommend?

[Arazmo]

Do both. There are some techniques that require using a flatpick....

[longtoothslim]

dont you people just play with ear and feel any more?

[chavie1982]

learning from others diminishs "feel"

thats a new one

eric clapton must be a robot

[longtoothslim]

point taken, but thats not "exactly" what i meant. What i was saying is that a lot of the posts here talk only in technical terms. Still thats just an observation. And before you say anything im 50 and the guitar is the way iv earned my living for the last30 + years. (Sometimes a very poor living )!

[chavie1982]

i agree a lot of people play like robots ........but do take into consideration a lot of these video's

are not ment to be musical

there either warm ups or somethings to get the fingers moving

besides us guitarists should stick together

its those bassists you gotta watch :P

[spudwater]

your playing is a bit like 'Vinni Vincent'. other wise known as the 'Big Pink' you are at that sort of level. my only advice to you, so you can take it to next and final level. go for a ride on the frets and never stop. only for food and water and a shit

[asdfjklthing]

hey, this might be a stupid question..but im new to theory so...What the difference between the major and minor blues scale? i thought that the blues was one scale that could be played on both major and minor keys

thanks

[Arazmo]

Most rock/blues players use the blues (A, C, D, Eb, E, G) scale with the index note as the considered root, for example the 5th fret "A" in the key of A. It can also be used over C. It's the same principal as C major / A minor being relative only in reverse...

[asdfjklthing]

alright, i get it now, it can be used in C major because its the parallel to A minor thanks!

[KingPelvis]

Ok, so you have fast hands. As a guitar lesson however, this is pretty dismal.

I think anyone who paid for a lesson with you and had you just sit there and show off like this while trying to dress like a teenager would be fairly disappointed.

[Arazmo]

I agree. This is more for show than like a paid lesson, ie: an example of what you can learn.

If you want a real lesson, register as a student.

[jair333]

HAHAHAHHA, good one man, "register as a student" ,by the way awsome lesson!!!

[cody12sones]

blues good!

[penguin0gang0srv]

yes you are sorry that comment was so dumb

[penguin0gang0srv]

are you the same guy that had that cool guitar with lightening?! XD

[jojojosmart]

too much wailing and not enough instruction.

[duitar]

killer playing, fast yet it has feel. I really like your style.

[Pentatonick2]

right on, how long you been playing man? 10 15 years?

yeah 5 stars, cause i want more advice, and i'm now a fan.

[ulingh]

Yes ! I like this ,heavy sound ! SIX STARS for this nice lesson !!

[jks2]

nice lesson, 5 stars for u!

[DJCobby]

Very nice man... i like your hat ! but i like your guitar playing better

Nice shirt btw
