Advanced Guitar Lesson: Intervallic Pentatonic Licks 3 of 3

[toejam498]

perfect excuse, if zappa said you dont have to play in time --it must be ok

[TwoBucksShy]

Great series man. Thank you.

[jamesedwardtheobald]

heh. ya don't have to 'play in time' (for the commenter) . the concept is called 'hemiola'. frank zappa liked hemiola because it made the music sound more 'conversational'. playing metrically makes riff like these sound stiff. plus it is a midi trackj - real drummers have a looser feel. i thought the intro clip sounds killer!

@jamesedwardtheobald er, pardon the typos, tired hands...

[AshSmith06]

Thanks for doing these vid's :o)

[MarvinSheats]

Great lesson and awesome playing.

[Xmalibur]

nice licks now all you need to do is play on beat and stop with the quagmire head bob 1:58

@Xmalibur,

Diggity, Diggity.....Awe-riiiiight! - LMAO!!!

[NasEscobar1]

iunno, the licks really do sound like something that would spice up a solo, but it has to be something that you're completely confident will work with your solo, or else you're going to come up with a forced mess, like this guy did.

[BrianWu1]

it's really a different lesson

avariety of sound

[jomollette]

good ideas, but damn dude, learn how to play ur own licks in time...

[wskarano]

Great lessons!

[knurfies]

wow awsome

[jakeisdead]

that is a very great lesson but i have to be honest i can kick yer ass on a guitar battle green guitar man

[Fitzgerald217150]

whenever he adds the intervallic or whatever it doesn't really match the rest of the solo, he doesn't incorperate it well

[frafunk]

this guy can t play!!

[billmeedog]

@frafunk,

Do you think it would've been better if he had played the whole lesson/tutorial through a cheesy multi-effect processor set to a "distortion & phase-shifter" patch instead? Hmmmm?

OK, so he's NOT the best player out here on YouTube...But he CAN play! More importantly, he's providing a valuable lesson to guitarists trying to get out of the dreaded pentatonic-box rut! (I know I get stuck in this rut, and since his ideas are general/conceptual, they could yield many more licks!)

[cheloba1]

@billmeedog hahaha he has good ideas but lets face it.. he sucks~!... he is a nice tho....

[jeroenman]

you have great lessons and those combined genres sound very nice but the Intervallic Pentatonic parts just sound really anoying and not fitting. I wouldnt you use it too much

[babyslapmafro]

due you have the tabs for all of these licks?

[Modes9]

My favorite spot was 2:35...it sounded like diatonic fifths from the E minor pentatonic scale.
