scotty i encourage you to check out Dimebag Darrell. just his solo's. if you havent heard of him before he is absolutely amazing. a shining light in the darkness of what soloing in the Metal genre became.

Hi xMrBumpyx,

Yes ... Dimebag was an interesting player with a unique approach.

All the best,

Scotty

Hey Scotty, who cares what all these haters say. I like your videos because from lesson 3, I didn't understand sharps and flats until I watched your video. I appreciate what your doing for us all. And I hope you keep up the good work. Keep posting videos.

the perfect 5th sounds like star wars and octave sounds like somewhere over the rainbow....

w the hell...you can actually play what you can sing...i have to think for a while where on the fretboard can i find the notes i'm hearing inside my head....

This video is amazing, after watching this video i started listening to Killing In The Name Of by Rage Against the Machine and i truly started to visualize what to do and how to play the song. i am definitely going to keep watching the videos and use this with my guitar playing.

thanks!

P.S. i verified my e-mail so i could post this comment.

I really mean this with all due respect. You totally remind me of John Goodman in "The Big Lebowski"... keep up the good work, it looks like you're helping the cause... :)

great lesson! I am going to try this and see if I can sing these intervals and see if they sound what I play. Good exercise. keep up the lessons!

great lesson I use this method allot But dont u hate it when u are away from your guitar and you get a great idea in your guitar in your head and when you go to play it you forget what you thought.

I've seen some of the best guitarists use this method such as David Gilmour, Billy Corgan...and I only know they are using this method because they would be singing the notes out loud. But think of all the guitarists, who when they get up to the high notes in the solo, their face gets all scrunched up. I think they are singing the notes inside their head, just not in a more comfortable octave like Scotty is saying to do. Eric Clapton looks like he might use this method. Great stuff, thanks!
