[@TheStudioRats]

[@BrettPapa]

[@bappandi007]

Lot of greats around, but teaching is not everybody's cup of tea. This guy is born to teach. Best KZbin guitar tutor.

[@BrettPapa]

Wow thanks! Glad you like the videos!

[@kennethalbinson3581]

I have just started playing guitar again....I have no time to practice asni work for the ambulance......but this guy ....this guy's helps make things make more sense and FUN!!! Thank you

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome to hear Kenneth!

[@DaddyOsInk]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!! I have been playing for over 30 years (played professionally for 15 but was always 'theory challenged'/'self taught'), and you just made 'passing notes' make sense!!!! I've been playing those licks for forever because they sounded good, I just didn't know why they worked.

[@BrettPapa]

Sweet! Thanks for checking it out!

[@rockinrobert100]

who says you can't teach an ol' dawg new tricks!! been playin 40 years, never felt I had reached my potential as a lead guitarist...thank you Papastache for reigniting an old flame and making me better than ever...so juiced...looking for a band!!! needless to say, i "jive" with you...you're the best....

[@BrettPapa]

Sweet! Hope you find a great one! Never to old to play, music is timeless!

[@scottfowler2758]

Just purchased a membership bundle to Papa's programs. They are on sale right now. YOu really should check them out. this guy is an awesome teacher and makes learning this stuff fun. It is exactly what I needed to improve my playing. There is so much content in his programs I will be busy for a while.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome man! Thanks for the support!

[@garyx5433]

The only man in the world that can pull off a moustache! Best vid I've seen in aeons, Thanks.

[@BrettPapa]

Haha! Thanks for watching!

[@warwicksmiley]

EeYour enthusiasm is a killa, I really love these lessons where just 3 Basic chords are shown beautifully all over my neck. You show da notes then pull it apart like a chicken then gracefully eat it. To be honest.

[@BrettPapa]

Haha! Thanks for checking it out!

[@s1ke912]

i rate the stache 10/10

[@cjpereyra2972]

Thanks to your patience making all the videos how to play guitar helps me a lot of my learning progress. Good man...

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing! Thanks for checking them out!

[@kevinetherington570]

Love your videos papastache...learn so much, plus you make it fun and entertaining! Thanks! 👍🎸🎶

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome to hear! Glad you lie them.

[@slashtrio]

Such a good lesson. Keep coming back to this one.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@yjmsrv]

Just a quick note- I don't think you mentioned it but you played it this way all the time- the major third always gets approached from the minor 3rd below- don't know why- but it sounds terrible going from the perfect 4th to the major 3rd, but sounds awesome and like legit blues if you go up to it from the minor 3rd below. I noticed you did that even when you were otherwise "walking" down the scale- you still always approached the major 3rd from below. Sounded great- and I've heard that "rule" before- that when playing blues or blues rock mixing the two scales- always approach the major 3rd from below. Well done as always Papa!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks!

[@TristanBaldi]

True this ! It just doesn't sound the same, just terrible when approached from up.

[@bretart]

Thanks for being one of these guys who can break it all down and make it all about the "Ah hah!". Nice work Brett!

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing! Thanks for watching and the kind words!

[@NardzDSounds]

Timely for this ESQ period... Just got the right and tasty runs.. God bless bro. .

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks man! Glad you liked the vid!

[@jeremychildress3931]

Again your a great teacher dude So enjoying watching your vids you make something that seems really difficult easy to understand and learn it’s like you unlock the door to lead playing. Thank you for what you are doing.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks Jeremy! Glad the vids are helping you out!

[@moose6676]

That makes sense 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks 🙏🏻

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing! Thanks for tuning in!

[@autocrow]

That was great. I like the way you stayed on one chord/scale. I get lost getting fancy on multiple chords. Gotta start small and work up. I know the pentatonic scales and where the roots are, but that's about it so far. I used to think a guy might be able to figure these things out by ear, but it helps SO much to know about the notes that sound good and why they work. I'm never satisfied with my playing. lol. Thanks Brett.

[@BrettPapa]

Me either! It's a constant work in progress! Thanks for always coming back to check things out! You have been there for years. Means a lot!

[@autocrow]

Right on. I've always liked your guitar lessons. Today is my Birthday so I bought myself the Papstache "Blues Soloing Secrets Major, lessons 1 and 2." Watched about an hour so far and totally digging it!! This is just what I've been looking for.

[@eavvad]

Thanks for sharing! Great lesson Papa!

[@bisamalote]

My English is poor and I don't understand everything you say, but I think I take the sense of it all. Very useful lesson and very good job. Thanks a lot.

[@BrettPapa]

You are welcome and you speak better English than some of my friends haha!

[@robinwagner8713]

best soloing lesson around!! you are killer 🙌🏻

[@BrettPapa]

Wow, thanks man!

[@goklie]

One thing you were doing but didn't talk about really was how you incorporated your right hand middle, ring, & pinky fingers (mainly your middle finger) while using the flat pick. I think it's called hybrid picking? Not really sure about that but whatever it's called it is a strong component to that style of playing. I really wish I new how to incorporate it in my playing. I think people that learn to play using that picking style are some of the best players out there. You're a very humble guy in my opinion Papa, but you are a rippin guitar player. When it comes to tasty feel with tons of emotion and slick soloing and licks, you are one of the best. Thanks to you and Marty for all the inspiration and lessons. You truly are one of the greats!!!

[@BrettPapa]

Wow thanks! Hybrid picking is an amazing tool and probably my favorite techniques to use. I've posted a few videos on the technique just search for it on the channel page search bar and the will pop up. Thanks for checking out the vids!

[@goklie]

+papastache102 Cool thanks. I'll definatly be checking that out. I'd like to get all the information I can get on the subject.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome man! Way to stick with it! You will be better than me! Thanks for watching!

[@RodrigoMontemezzoBR]

I mean I can play as good as you but not telling I can be better or worse, but anyway everyone has its own touch and feelings and techniques, better or worse should not be the word in this occasion... whatever haha just keep on posting these cool videos, I am learning a lot from you! And thanks again for avoiding me from selling my Stratos/SG. Hugs from Brazil!

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing! Cheers!

[@MsDavo123]

[@Cmiller85]

Awesome leason dude. You are really pushing me forward. Have you done lesson on playing the scales up and down the neck? Im just guessing atm and cant seem to link much. Thanks again

[@monumentalamnesty3428]

those little hammer-on and pull-off licks are absolutely amazing and way you put so much speed on them! any chance you could send through some sort of tab for them? that would be awesome to practice, its the part where you were hammering on and pulling off 7-8-7-5 on the high e-string and you follow through with that run, absolutely amazing! love your work you're teaching me so much!

[@memamohleleng]

Really helpful. Thanks very much.

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing!

that info on bending, man, you just don't get that on any other channel. Absolutely vital.

Great lesson as always, thanks. I know the five positions and I'm memorizing licks in each position thanks to you Brett with the help of stacking notes from your early lesson. also, it would be great to mix the major with the minor using your tips.. thank you

[@kendubb582]

great stuff makes me wanna practice!

[@BrettPapa]

Sweet! Get on it haha! Thanks for watching!

[@robbietucker6888]

please post a video on how to play litous by x ambassador's in open d tuneing. u taught me how to play. nobody but u got me started man. I learn a lot from u dude

[@Jakexx01]

IMO, mix things up by using the 'drunken cat fight' (sparingly) to create tension and convey emotion. Some rules are made to be broken when speaking from the heart. "Drunken' cat fight", LOL! What an accurate description. Well, said. Great video!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks ;) I have been responsible for many a drunkin' cat fights over the years. I'm surprised my neighbors never hauled me away!

[@anthonybymallia7067]

i loved playin this thx papa

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@boomerkai]

what an awesome lesson!! thank you. thank you. I am not worthy, but thank you! my personal favorites are Gilmour and Hendrix, so getting more insight to their stuff is just freaking awesome! I've been watching some of your early lessons and you have grown and opened up SO much, it's amazing, as well. Is it just the change of hats? I have my own ideas, but I'll save that for a time when I meet you. I live in LA, so you're not far. And Nash is one of my friends next door neighbors, so who knows. Later, my man!

[@BrettPapa]

Thank you sir! Sounds good to me! Been wanting to hook up with Nash for a long time!

Thanks so much! Thanks for coming back!

[@emilycohen8152]

[@brettdiaz]

I've been playing the minor pentatonic with a major 3rd instead of a minor 3rd. It gives it a mixolydian feel.

[@BrettPapa]

Yep. Super fun trick!

[@suffxmetal1277]

+papastache102 cool

[@marcotp9]

the best as always. only thing I didn't quite get is on what kind of chord prog this would work, it doesn't sound always good when I try over a minor CP

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Check out some of my CAGED videos and that will help.

Great video. Curious as to what Bridge pickup you use.

[@BrettPapa]

It's either a Dimarzio Tone Zone or a Lollar Imperial Low Wind. I switched it out about six months ago for the Low Wind.

[@anthonybymallia7067]

i just bought a super white strat exactly like your papa like hendrix but not with humbucker and arctic white very nice maple neck

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome man! You will love it. Mine is actually pink but it's super faded. I played one just like yours the other day. It was great!

[@anthonybymallia7067]

papastache102 if its strat from mexican upwards its always a great guitar right

[@anthonybymallia7067]

but still my favourite strat i mean the colour is the black and white pickguard and what about the 3 tone sunburst beautiful

[@anthonybymallia7067]

thx for your time writing me papa very kind of u

[@julako01]

Hi my friend... great videos!!! Which humbucker is that??? Sounds great !!!

[@BrettPapa]

Not sure in that video, either a Dimarzio Tone Zone or the one I use now which is a Lollar Imperial Low Wind.

[@Th3_ENGINE3R]

amazing amazing amazing lesson. thanks so much man! i have a noob question: does it make sense to mix the minor pentathonic with the full major scale? i think i'd better start learning how to mix maj and min pentathonic first :D

Use them all! There are no rules whatever notes get your message across then those are the right ones :) Thanks for tuning in!
