  • Finally, ExpertVillage made a video that's worth a shit.

  • i dont get vids like this that say how to solo blah blah blah, they should be called, tools to solo with. how to solo would be an overview of these scales, and showing a few basic licks and how to incorporate them, to me this is just a wast of time to any begginer that really wants to get into lead guitar. but hey thats my opinion.

see all

  • first, he could add that: minor scales have 3 basic variants;

    -Natural minor

    -Harmonic minor

    -Melodic minor

    while major scales have only one variant "as is"

  • @jlm420, i could do a video of what he is doing but first i will try to explain it.

    starting on the first fret for all strings.

    low e string:it goes 1st fret then to 4th fret.

    A string: it goes 1st fret then to 3rd fret

    D string:1st fret to 3rd fret

    g string:1st fret to 3rd fret

    b string:it goes 1st fret then to 4th fret

    high e string:1st fret then to 4th fret.

    He is doing all that really fast, basically up and down the neck. and that would be the minor pentatonic scale.

    

  • that's cool that he can do it and all... but why can't he actually explain what he's doing.

  • This guy really knows what he is talking about in this video.

    I thought all expert village vids are nonesense, but at least now they cameup with something worth watching

    keep it up!

  • @Aboxatax o_O Dunno why... :/ Meh, will have a look at my settings :]

  • @Jiminibobster Talkin' about guitar instructors...but lol anyways...What's weird to me is that when I try to go to your channel it says "this channel is not available"

  • @Aboxatax 'I love it when an instructor knows what he's talking about' Just sounded...wierd... dunt matter, may jus be me bein immature.

  • @Jiminibobster Oh really? How?

  • @Aboxatax Eww... i'm sorry but you made it sound like a fetish :/

  • @Zorinja right on!!! I like when the instructor knows what he's talking about.
