Great video. Not sure why people are complaining. I would love to have your job

[HoustonGuitar]

All of the videos on the channel so far were experimental. This one told me a lot. I'm doing a lot of video production right now, and I've got several more things going up on Youtube soon, so please check back.

ya this is hella boring.

[HoustonGuitar]

I'm not trying to entertain you, I'm trying to teach you to improvize, so *you* can get a paying job as a guitar player, and entertain people - like I do. My job is anything but boring. How about yours?

I find this confusing because it says all notes played are in the scale, and there not. Or so it looks like that to me.

[HoustonGuitar]

I explained at the beginning that this example is based on the pentatonic, and includes passing tones (shown in the next frame). I admit I also used notes 'not' included in the list of passing tones. Sorry for the confusion.

wtf... he teaches us for free this great lesson, and some asshole come complain ¬¬'

[hardhittn63]

it just sounds like he is playing random notes

[astigeros123]

the reason why you think its random notes cause your not yet qualified to understand jazz....try listening bebop jazz....

[TheMiaband]

really nice lesson, but its a lil difficult to REALIZE wich notes u are playing..

[bigpimp4444]

@HoustonGuitar Yeah man, Good video. Its a introduction for a reason. You would be a bad teacher if you played some crazy riff. Nice. keep up the good work

[picmacmillan]

ahah thats what im talking about

[AlexWerkmeister]

Well I guess I didn't start improvising right away on guitar when I learned.

I'm just saying, it was a good video to show the guidelines, but he could have thrown a few things in there for the so-called "beginner" to learn later on...

And when I come to think of it, I learned how to bend and hammer-on before I ever touched improvisations.

[dappling484]

You can't just buy a guitar and start hammering on and bending and stuff, this is for beginers
