@coconut4vanilla

Hi, yeah it is a great video and a great guitar player. I don't know where you're at in you guitar playing so I'm sorry in advance if I'm underestimating your skills but make sure you don't fall into the trap of learning things from tabs and memorizing them. Always remember to learn your pentatonics. If you know how to play and apply them, guitar becomes so much easier and sensible. Literally in all cases the heart of every song is a pentatonic scale. Learn that, and you'll fal

[coconut4vanilla]

It looks so easy,but it isn't...

Tabs would be awesome...

[12moetown]

awesome lesson. i like how you really focus in on demonstrating how the chord tones work. this really helps.

[QuotidianHegemony]

Hey Mike, you should watch my video response and tell me what you think. ^__^

You rock dude!

[TheJimsky143]

very nice tutorial!can you send the tab for me?please

[bassieeee7]

[youngsteve03]

[webstersprophet]

Is this Andrew W.K.?  o_O

[jguitar1905]

Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial

[aroi70]

good stuff

[ragglefraggle09]

o shit

[mikescharvel]

Mike your one of few guys that talk "target notes" and how they relate to what the underlying progression is doing. Thats what I'm talking about. Most shred heads will "play this note here and put this one here" and not say why or how its works with whats going on. Your a great teacher, I'm now a subscriber..

[odnumledable]

it's not one of the best, but it sounds like one of the best. :)

[steveo27545]

Sounds good , cool to see a shredder play a tele, To satsMM you have to learn the Major scale, it is only seven notes.

Not calling you out this is for anyone who need it the major scale is it , its the scale that makes all scales in western music.

If your playing G major you are playing in E minor as well they are the same notes, the 6 note is the relative minor, play a G chord then a E minor, .

Mike you rock .

Thanks for sharing

[Ventalei]

Hey, man, (you're awesome by the way) do you keep the backing tracks that you have? Is there any where I can download them?

[koshiaru]

My MIM Telecaster looks just like that without the pearl pickguard.

[guitvai2]

very nice - you just helped open up a whole new world for me. Thanks!

[hugokickfeen89]

@guitvai2 i agree with this comment .. guitar teacher you are my friend im going to subscribe ive been a youtube user for 2 yrs and ull be the first person i subscribe to so good job man

[golb91]

Good work. But your face annoys me

[beastguitaist]

show me somthing hard now

[jadslash]

this guy is a dimarzio artist , was looking into getting the twang king.dude, is this the best tele pup there is?

[j1nt3tsu]

the slow version is cool lol

[xdDANGLerx]

awesome

[satsMM]

which scale is tge best for rock, major or minor scale?:)

[tyka2000]

well, it depends on the key of the song....the minor has a sadder sound and major sounds happier...

[whydoesitmatter1994]

@satsMM its the same scale just starting in different places

[satsMM]

major and minor...? so youre saying that for example G minor and G major is the same?

[whydoesitmatter1994]

Not what I'm saying is the relative natural minor is the same as it's relative major hints the word relative. for example g major is the same as e minor. The only difference is the root note which is why minor sounds dark and major sound happy

[satsMM]

hmm.. okey! All i knew was that A minor was the same as C major. :)

[whydoesitmatter1994]

So yeah, basically the dumbest way to saty this is 3 frets down from the root of the major key lol

[satsMM]

hehe yeah.. well, cheers mate

[lev3rlastingl]

I hope I can play something like this soon *0*

[LadoApi]

one of the best solo...

[ArcticWhiteZ]

yo man i'm confused cause how can you use the bm pentatonic when bm isnt the relative minor for g??

[ryanroolz2]

if he is using a bm chord in his chord prog then he can use the bm pent over the bm chord

[dmasta91]

its just the pentantonic with the root on the 5th string, the e is on 7th fret for 5th string

[tyka2000]

E minor is the relative minor

[skeletonsuit]

The full b minor scale only has one note different from g major (c # instead of c), which happens to be excluded when using the derived pentatonic scale. In other words all the notes in b minor pent fit into g major

[LaandB]

You are fucking amazing... I'm envious. XD

[cnrjr]

WOW!! Awesome stuff....Cant wait to get into it tomorrow am. Any clue as to what settings your Pod 2.0 is on??? Thanks for taking the time to break down all the riffs= great..

[YAZZ69er]

that beggining solo is beautiful man

[daneosnake2]

oh man that sounds fucking amazing

[zeekydeeky16]

i have that same poster, nice vid.

[oggiemc83]

great lesson!! cheers

[xXAvatarofGuitarXx]

Great phrasing man, very nice variety in style and licks and things, I thought it was very tasteful!! Keep playing man, you'll only get better!!

[MacDrevi0us]

Thats a beautiful guitar man. First tele ive actually thought looked good.

[DiscoBuiscuit]

you have a very good overdriven tone.

[skitta87]

owesome! :D

[brostomper]

thats a pretty cool tone you have dude what are you playing through?

[arnaud360]

lol it doesnt man...

[kylethesk8er123]

dude that solo sounds amazing. im learning it by ear right now

[cocain93]

he looks like the older brother from boy meets world. i forgot that guys name but he looks like him with long hair

[ernieball3645]

i knew he looked like someone but i didnt know who

[IaNdAcRiPwAlKa]

lars ulrich

[megacool4ever]

you mean erique mathews

[cocain93]

yea lol and no not lars

[eatinginfants]

awesome! its hard to find lessons that really explain how theory makes music, instead of describing it as a rigid bunch of mathematical equations. telling people what notes to emphasize is really helpful too, and is keeping me from being stuck in boxes bending the same notes over and over. youre a really good teacher. it sounds like progressions are the key to a good solo.

[TheOriginalMack]

love the tele man

[HEADBANGING69]

Themm The Mood 4 ever!

[evilchrist213]

im the one who requested this a long time ago,the time when i dont know how to solo yet..im very glad that you answered my question ...more power...chord tone soloing kills...lol

[fenderbender149]

do you have to have the all the notes on the fretboard memorized to be able to do this ?

[pugaykamayna]

I would like to ask this also. Anyone?

[IaNdAcRiPwAlKa]

course not

[roterendeinlaatschij]

cool

[maddnotez]

dude your the man, now i feel bad about the comment i left on the 1st video i watch of the 10 major scale positions.

[zdumdum]

Wow. this solo sounds cool. You have great skills.OMG.

[HEADBANGING69]

One of the greatest unknown guitar heroes outhere.  YOu go boyeeeeeeee!!

[wizardeal]

Its a great demonstration Mike,

I would like to point out one thing and only one thing, at one point you say that you landed at a certain note (3rd string, 12th fret, G = tonic) it wasn't luck, I think it was your ear guiding you to that particular note, you were 1/2 step bending the 7th to tonic (F#-G) then the 3rd to 4th (B-C), then G, Bm ties in with its relationship to the 5th of G which is(D) so start the Bm arpeggio at G, being in the right fret position is simply what form you prefer.

[Hurricanex2]

Awesome!! playing and cool minor arpeggio.

[icemanmetal]

SRV in the background
