The diagram at 11:20 is the E minor pentatonic scale isnt it?

Man that section 6:55 - 7:53 was fantastic!

Hi whats the brand of the Strings? Thanks

Great track, thank you

The main issue I have with a Strat is the bridge pickup. If I got a Stat again I’d definitely put a Hotrails in the bridge.

First Impression, The hot rails are too Hot for your settings Too Much Boom. Did you change out your Pots too? You might want to consiter using 500K Pot for volume to brighten it up a bit. I Had the same problem when chenging over to SD Hot Rails. It sounded like trash on a clean channel, too overdriven, but over drive distortion lead with bridg pickup was fantastic. But it took away the strat sound on the Middle and neck.. Once I went to 500K pots, problem solved! It dropped the lows and elevated the mids and highs. Smoothed it out if you wil.

Tab please.......❤

Are you shure it's analog ? Do you see inside ? Or it's DSP Digital emulation, a good emulation

I think the key point is bending to the 9th of a vi chord (6th degree of a major scale), which in fact JM likes to do all the time - as in this case. referring to bending to the leading tone (1/2 step below the root) of the key you are in (without a harmonic context) is not entirely accurate in my opinion, as the interval outlined by that Eb is completely different depending of what chord is playing underneath it. if you bend to that Eb over, say, an Ab minor (3rd degree of E major scale) you are just bending to the 5th, which is not as "Mayer-y) -- over and out

Excellent review. Thank you.

What’s crazy to me, is there is no ear training in all these triad lessons on the internet. It’s all this note, that note, with no real ear training. Music is heard with our ears. To make music, you simply need to know what it is, with your ears. The saying… music to my ears, lol thanks anyway.

i know all this stuff, i understand all this stuff, but i probably don't know it well enough. so thanks, I'm sure these exercises will help me improve.

12:25 sounds a bit like early YES.

This is a brilliant fix for us stuck intermediates. I've ordered your book and while folks are gonna hate me for saying....you ain't charging enough

Stevie Ray almost never bent a string down mostly bent up

Ross you are a great musician. I have seen JB 3x LIVE and have many of his records. Thank you for this video! I subscribed tonight. ( 71 y.o. w 60 years in the biz. Better guitar player today than anytime before - because I work at it and love it ! )

couldn’t have said it better myself although his playing is more advanced than mine i progressed so much faster when learning major scale construction then constructing chord scales from the major scale once i started to visualize them on fretboard soloing went from mindless three nite per string soloing to sounding more melodic.

Thank’s so much, my friend 😊 The Lord’s love + grace be with you His Hope + peace, in Life, and beyond the grave Hope you are all well and resting in Jesus saving love + grace 😊 Warmest Love + blessing’s friends 😊

Welcome to the club, sir! Once you experience that full/rich tone of a Les Paul, plus that buttery feel of a guitar that's nearly impossible to put down, you can't sleep until it's yours.

The end is 16:15

4:00

I think what is going on here is that the descending notes start on beat one if you just play 4 note runs on a 4/4 beat. But if you play 5 note runs on a 4/4 beat, the second run down starts on beat 2. So it makes it more interesting to play odd number runs. You can mix n match an odd run with an even one if you want to start the next run on the beat or off it.

Thanks Ross. Your solo challenge brought me here. Started playing again recently after having lessons in the mid 90’s: yes, that long ago! A jazz guitarist was my personal tutor and he drilled pentatonic scales into me as the basis of my learning. This is great and the practice starts here.

16 minutes to say what? You're great??

My hands can do what I tell them but since I don’t know the fretboard I have to literally memorize every phrase which means I have very little repertoire and zero improv ability. Just joined your course in December and I hope to see myself getting out of this ten year rut.

You're great at what you do. Thank you for the lesson.

1 month of guitar, i got these down pretty well already, hopefully ill be playing at a high level within a year

did you put two cruiser necks in the neck and middle positions? I saw on the Dimarzio website that there is only the cruiser neck and cruiser bridge. No middle pick up. Thanks for the video, it helped me get up the courage to change my pickups.

Man you’re speaking of me, and maybe lot of us.

Dude where the hell are you from????!!!!

Too much yacking, makes me go for snacking.

Cheers 🕉🎼🎵🎶 💎

I've been in the intermediate plateau for close to a decade. To be honest, my inability to progress kept me away from my instrument for a long time. Getting back into it, in an era with KZbin instructors, has been unbelievable. I've been practicing these methods and the wow, this is what I've been missing. Appreciate you my friend. I can already tell that this is going to help me take things to the next level. Super impressed.

You sound Scottish yet you play like an American? 😅

F**k yeh! Morning! 🥰 Brain forcing, ok, got it! ☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕

ROSS, When putting the 5th in the bass over the Dominant7#9 chord or Dominant7 chord is a SLASH dominant chord. Example in the key of C the V chord G major, but with the 5th in the bass will be G major7/D which D is a whole step above C. I'm not sure why SRV used the 5th in the bass over Dom7#9 chords or Dom7 chords but there must be a reason as to why?

is 3R5 still called 1st inversion?

That sounds so creative, clean, and melodic all at once! Good job man!!

The circle of fifths thing on each string is SO helpful! All kinds of light bulbs popping off as I go along!

Sorry to hear ‘bout the paralyzed pinky ….

I tried to do that with Josh Homme, but his fingers bend to impossible places.

Solid advice. Dude is straight up and honestly i don’t disagree much. i’m no evh rip. But i do okay this video helped. Thank you

You can do this same idea with minor 3rds and get the diminished arpeggio, it has 4 notes instead of 3, so can use it like a scale, people use it over the 4 chord in blues and resolve it back to the root over the 1 chord, it might be a cool idea to combine these 2 approaches, diminished lick over the 4, resolve to the root, then, augmented triad during the turn around, im going to have to mess around with this idea

That opening solo is fantastic….it’s not the usual type of soloing that I see so often by most others. Bravo. I really enjoy this channel and wish I had a teacher like yourself when I started.

I've never played a guitar (like properly, that is), and I find this video really helpful (a humble understatement, indeed). I even screenshot the video at 11:20, just to keep it as my desktop wallpaper, so I'd take a glance at it every time I get in my computer, so it will stick to my brain like a gooey rat trap 😆 You just earned a subscriber, @Ross Campbell! I hope to share my silly story one day with you... Question is not about 'if ever', but 'certainly when'...

my 2c worth.....Thanks for the video...but I think the analysis has been taken too far... F ma7 aug triad yes, but no. The F and the A can be from G9 or as someone below said - the b7 of G as is commonly done to name it in english F/G , but the crux of it is that the c# and e constitute a simple enclosure of the d, Everyone does this all the time without realising it usually around the maj 3rd . It's great lick and great choice for a video.

No feeling just notes after notes

Hi man,great job,can you share the settings?

Thanks Ross you really broke it down good I never would have got up stroke part thank you

Years ago, my son and I were asked to play for our church congregation. I play guitar and banjo. We arrived early and I placed my instruments on the stage. There were some little kids running around. I took my guitar out and tuned it, then placed it on a guitar stand. I also tuned my banjo but there was no stand so I put it back in the case. I then went and got some water and talked to the pastor. A short while later we hit the stage. My son started off on his mandolin and I started to join in on my guitar. The guitar was horribly out of tune. I stopped playing and saw the look on the audiences face. It was very embarrassing. My son finished solo. Evidently one of the kids had messed with the tuning pegs while I was away. I pulled the banjo out which was still in tune and we played several songs. The audience was on their feet and enjoyed it. I learned a valuable lesson that day.
