[@doobielespaul1677]

Finally a short and concise to the point tutorial. Thanks man I'm gonna look into these!

[@lairdherron8202]

Been going through a crummy week in my relationship and this video / learning these licks has been a great release and way to get through some sad feelings. Just wanted to say Thank You Marcel, you're awesome!

[@wakingmycadaverful]

Same for me brother

[@Ka-zl7fi]

Man I can't say how great this video is. I can't believe it's only 2:33. I've spent hours just practicing these awesome licks. Huge thanks and appreciation for this video, keep it up!

[@oneman49instruments]

Nice and useful video man! No talking between licks, no slow motion, everything perfect! Cheers from Barcelona!

[@BlackHoleForge]

Even 6 years ago, you are an awesome guy. Thank you for the transcripts tuesdays.

[@brettgoldstein9230]

Hey man, you are a great teacher for the advanced player. Thanks for the free education.

[@yukon2445]

You are a wonderful teacher ! Congrats from Strasbourg, France ! In my country, few people know Bluegrass music ! Thank you for your lesson !

[@agalligani]

If you made a book with all your tabs I would definitely buy it. :-D

[@Mega_Casual]

That kind of book would be like winning the Lottery!

[@dobbscmd]

Just print out some free blank tabs, pause the video and write them down..........tis what im doing.........why pay........

[@LessonsWithMarcel]

Clint I appreciate the hustle but almost everything on the site is free! You ain't gotta steal when someone's giving it away for free!

[@dobbscmd]

@@LessonsWithMarcel Thanks so much dude...........had no idea, your awsome.............so many other dudes stingy with tab work......Thank you so much!

[@datboibaz]

@@LessonsWithMarcel for real man you just made that dudes day. Keep it up. I’m an advanced player who really appreciates your videos too.

[@cwxdaf152]

Exactly the kind of vid I've been looking for. Thanks for producing it :-)

[@wh700]

im gonna wear this video out. thank you for this and good luck to you sir

[@gtrhoppe]

What I hate about instruction videos is that you have to hear some body who loves to hear themselves talk...talk. Then they show you two or three junk licks and then try to lure you on to there website to get the rest. You, Marcel, come on, no bullshit, get right to it and saturate us with many, very good quality licks. Thanks for that, I'm a subscriber now.

[@jodybentley6433]

Dude!!! Those were some awesome licks you just hit on. I'm gonna steal them all. Thanks for sharing.

[@ATothFTW18]

By far the best youtube guitar lesson Ive seen. These licks are alot of fun to play! Would love for more videos like this one.

[@guitarslave]

These licks sound SUPER cool!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@R3Vanche]

Just the music I was looking for. Thanks kind sir.

[@jordopia]

These licks are rad.

[@antisocialnetworking3856]

After the intro I bet this guy would be SUPER excited checking the views on this one; happy for you man, you sound awesome!

[@undercoverz99]

Loved them all! Great tutorial

[@jeffloewi5632]

I've been working on the first 3 licks and plan on continuing until I've learned every one of them and can follow along with this video and up to speed. It can take many tries to get one of them. I'm not clear at all if this will make me a better player but it's the goal I've set for myself. If and when I get there I'll email you.

[@TheSacredroots]

Great videos marcel well done

[@rvrs.1352]

Ur awesome

[@mikefinley4367]

Just came across you, excellent playing and lesson. Can you tell me what make and model your playing? I'm on a small I- pad and my glasses were crushed on a construction site so I can't make out the headstock. Anyone able to tell what he's playing?

[@LessonsWithMarcel]

It's an odd model! Martin DC-Aura Custom

[@MarkSchuler5]

Good job!

[@joepaul9855]

Nice!

[@westrokker]

Damn you’re good

[@jeffloewi5632]

Working on that first lick. What is gained by using your pinky on the 3rd fret?

[@LessonsWithMarcel]

Nothing at all, just a bad habit!

[@jeffloewi5632]

@@LessonsWithMarcel Well you've passed your bad habit along to me now.

[@AlahuSnackbar]

nice playing and nice cat :)

[@bartverboom6612]

I wonder how do you memorize these licks.. what is the trick of these arrangements?

[@d.riedijk3443]

HI Marcel can you tell me what kind of strings you have on your Martin.

[@garyburns9064]

What model guitar?

[@SjaakShirly6559]

Jawdropping awesome! Is there a download available for the TABS? Would be great. Tony Rice can be proud! Can you do a tutorial how to solo over chord changes? Would be much appreciated! Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@SjaakShirly6559]

Thanks! Very very useful licks!! A lot to practice...;-)

[@matthewmcclory8794]

What is the BPM on this? The tab makes it look like it's 220!

[@danielebaldari793]

che spessore di corde usi?

[@JD-pg1qs]

all strict alternate picking?

[@Artorias001]

Does anyone have any experience with the pitch keys that's on his headstock I've been looking at maybe buying a couple of them but there isn't a whole lot of videos online about them

[@LessonsWithMarcel]

I tried them for about a year. Not incredibly natural to turn mid-song. I found that I was about as quick just tuning by ear with the normal tuner. I haven't used them since a couple months after this video came out.

[@Artorias001]

@@LessonsWithMarcel thank you for the reply from you think Keith tuners feel any more natural because I love the sound that Earl Scruggs would get from tuning this banjo during songs

[@frankcline66]

This is all well and good, but you should show how to apply these licks to a solo. You can memorize all these licks forward and then backward, but like a virgin not knowing what to do with it, only leads to beating them to death.

[@adtorresitpro]

All these riffs were done over a G chord that was droning in the background. You can use EXACTLY the same fingerboard pattern SHIFT up or down when the background chord changes. i.e. if the next chord being played is a C chord THEN move the patterns up 5 frets!!! and if a D chord then move them up 7 frets from the G chord positions shown. When soloing over a G major chord play G major pentatonic riffs, then when the chord switches to C major play C major pentatonic riffs and when it switches to D major play D major pentatonic riffs . Finally if the next chord is a Bm(I just picked this for grins) then play .....wait for it .... B MINOR pentatonic riffs. So you have to learn Major Pentatonic, Minor Pentatonic and Myxolydian Pentatonic(Just a minor pentatonic with a major 3rd) and apply the process I described above. Pick a song on youtube, set the playback speed to %50 or less and apply this process. Pretty soon you'll be shredding without even thinking about it.

[@nathanwilliamson3527]

Either I'm an idiot who can't count or this is actually only 9 licks... awesome stuff either way tho!

[@francisdouay464]

there is a cat !

[@Iamnickdude09]

What kind of Martin is that? Is it a Martin?

[@LessonsWithMarcel]

It's a Martin DC Aura custom!

[@sharonlys1406]

Hi all of you you shall listen to William Braham sermons they are very important it can help you really listen to

[@pittiunicola6242]

bla bla bla bla🤦🖕

[@theplug5898]

if you look at all the really big guitar tutorial channels, it's really clear what you need to do. you can't just say what to play and never just break it down and show how to play it. hell you spent more time talking about how many views you got than you spent playing the licks.

[@theplug5898]

I'm glad that you looked past anything that was probably pretty rude and took the advice to heart. If you really apply these things to your videos than they will probably end up being my go-to videos for bluegrass guitar. I look forward to seeing new videos.

[@DJBuell]

Personally, I love these tutorials BECAUSE it doesn't spend a whole lot of time going string-by-string, fret-by-fret, and every hammer/pull/slide. There are plenty of other really good sites that break down each lick. These sites try to accommodate every level of player. I really appreciate these more intermediate level tutorials like yours Marcel. Keep em coming.
