  • Excellent video again! But I have a question. It is not related to this specific video, but it is about all your lessons. The question is: how do you learned how to make these beautiful phrases? I mean, now I know how to use the major pentatonic scale, the mixolydian and so on. But I am not able to play beautiful and colorful solos like yours :D. How do you learned that? Transcribing solos? Natural feeling? Both? :D

  • I rarely transcribe solos all the way through. sometimes I'll hear a lick and then learn it. I would say to learn licks from as many different and varied places, know your scales well with practicing and patterns etc. and lots and lots of jamming and improvising and then lots of hours of all that stuff. nothing beats time put into the instrument.

  • @martyfs74 is this the sane scale as A aeolian

  • Thinking of George Benson...cool man.

  • what amp do u use ? please

  • hey i love your lessons, really helpful. it'd be sweet if you could make some of these little progressions that you do in your lessons into longer videos, like a jamtrack type of thing.

  • I think you better mix the dorian with the minor pentatonic because those two scales are minor... since mixolydian and major pentatonic are major scales, they will go together better

  • this may be my warped logic, but does it work with the other CAGED chords? ie G mixo works on E pentatonic for same reasons? H

  • Reason it works is C mixolydian is C D E F G A Bb

    he is just playing A minor pentatonic A C D E G and adding the F Bb to make up scale

  • coooooool!

  • tasty jams... :P
