Hendrix Style Rhythm Riffs To Improve Major Pentatonic Solo Playing - Guitar Lesson

[@ChadDiNovo-hq1ff]

10 months into this and I was stuck. This video solved my issue of connecting the bar cords, shapes and pentatonic scale. Opened up the entire fretboard for me. Great player and teacher for sure. Thank you.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks Chad! Glad it helped!

[@prajwalsrinivas5157]

You have that knack of explaining things so clearly. You have so much clarity and this shows how well you know the frett board. You truly are a genius

[@BrettPapa]

Wow thanks man!

[@davidstewart2110]

You are truly unlocking doors for me. Sooo thankful for your time and help in creating these videos!!! You are a great instructor!! God bless!!!

[@BrettPapa]

Wow thanks! Glad they are helping you out!

[@ansonsuziscott3497]

Cook your cords with slide slip blues,Mello McHendrix with plumb Cords and connection pipe.

[@5tattoo69]

dude thanks for this. I'm an old dog whose really only getting into my guitar now and I dig your videos. Great attitude and enthusiasm. Awesome.

[@orthoman1152]

Thank you. A light bulb just went off. My teacher has had me on dominant 7 arpeggios for the last two weeks. When it is time to solo I was not sounding melodic. Your concepts have caused an explosion of melodic ideas. Thank you🎸. YOU ROCK!!!!

[@imlostinthewoods]

You are the kind of person I hope is successful in whatever you choose to do, you deserve it. Not only are you a gifted musician, but you graciously share that gift with others in a very unpretentious and straightforward way. Thanks for doing this, I've learned a lot from your teaching style and your ability to make very complex ideas attainable to average musicians. Cheers to you Papastache!

[@BrettPapa]

thanks so much! Glad I could help and thanks for watching!

[@ccapdepon]

The light is on! Thanks - been playing for many years and look at the board based on the different chord shapes, you have unlocked the major/minor blend to me. tks tks tks!

[@rayross997]

This is starting to make musical sense to me. Really want to say thanks for all your lessons. A year ago when I watched lessons like this I really was lost, but with time and patience and practise the light has come on. You are a very good teacher, it helps one to progress in their playing. much appreciated Brett.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for taking the time to check it all out!

[@rayross997]

+papastache102 Love your lessons, please keep them coming. Rock On, Brett!

[@stabwound16]

You are the master of blues tutors! For many years the things I already knew just never clicked, until I started watching your vids, much wow..

[@aptmix]

Love the way that you break down how you discovered the full neck "language" of the scales, I think this discovery is a breakthrough in every guitar player's journey. Once this moment happens, a door opens and everything is so clear. This video really makes me happy because I can remember the exact moment where I had this epiphany, funny thing was I was playing a Hendrix song! Thank you.

[@BrettPapa]

That's awesome! Thanks for tuning in!

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

This is exactly why you have a over a quarter of a million subs ,awesome lessons like this .Rock on Brett!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks man!

[@311allmixedup]

These are great videos. It's a lot to digest but the info is so valuable. I could watch this 3 or 4 more times and realize something different that I never connected before.

[@ckjjclan]

I have shared both of your channels with my 5 guitar nut friends and all are better for it!!! Thank you for what you do...This was another GREAT lesson.

[@lestattt100]

Brother... thank you for taking the time to break things down so its easier to understand, I have been playing for 27 yrs no lessons but have a very very good understanding of the relation of things on the neck but this is like taking guitar theory lessons for me here tonight! Love hendrix love satch met steve vai in person at the market in hollywood one morning and talked with him when he was with Roth. Papastash your videos are always awesome, you my friend have helped me understand the guitar neck, notes and positions much better and I LOVE to play guitar. when Im 80 I will still be shredding despite authoritus lol. a million thanks bro!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome sir! Thanks for taking the time to check out the vids! Glad you like them!

[@laowestcoastmusicians9208]

I subscribed. Loved how you break it down and your teaching is awesome. I had learned a lot from your videos.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Thanks for the sub!

[@ajnightcrawler]

papastache, seriously can't thank you enough for these videos. so many things have started to click together just by watching these. You are a legend. Thank you, sir

[@BrettPapa]

Wow that is awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@Cheesewizard07]

This is absolutely awesome. Thank you so much. I feel like ive levelled up in guitar after this video. Keep up the good work. Long live Jimmi

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome man way to go! Thanks for checking it out!

[@L0SO7]

Just started to play guitar and when you were talking about realizing that you wanted to play like Jimi... I had the same epiphany watching your tutorials about Jimi...THANK YOU

[@BrettPapa]

Haha! That is great! Glad you liked the lesson! Thanks for watching!

[@TheYjmfan]

,you are the man that lesson really helped to think about chords and scales in the Hendrix way as I was stuck in a rut with minor pentatonic, thanks to you!

[@BrettPapa]

Sweet! Thanks for watching!

[@abacus4244]

On the road to understanding the pentatonics and how to use them, this is THE video that finally unlock things for me. I'm beginning to get it. Thanks, Bro!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome man! Way to go! Thanks for checking it out!

[@georgesolomon1153]

Listened to you and Tim for the 1st time this evening and totally enjoyed both of you!!! Wish I had U tube 40 years ago. Cant play like you....but you sure make it fun learning!!!! Thank you so much!!! Play on Brothers.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks man glad you liked the videos!

[@luismambrini18]

you've been opening up my perception of the guitar with all these hendriX classes duddeeeea , a huge thanks all the way from brazil

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! You are very welcome!

[@dawsonjohnson9463]

I must say a very good video. I feel like I'm at this door to lead playing and I'm kicking, and kicking, and kicking at it. And every time I do, there is a little crack in the door. And I'm afraid that it may never break and fall over, but with someone like you and these videos I think I'll get there or at least pretty darn close.

[@japanjay]

Papastache, thanks for helping me keep moving forward with my playing. You are an awesome teacher and an all around cool dude! Great stuff.

[@MrHatch108]

I love how you keep going and tie it all together with the chord positions, up and down the neck. Thanks.

[@daviarimateia93]

You have just summed up all I learned over a year by my self...! Great tips

[@GardenOfHedon]

Love love love love it m'man!! And yes- all the stuff you said at the end- more major licks! More minor licks! More mixing the two! More licks in specific positions! More more more! I love the idea of showing specific examples of how to use each position effectively- like here's a few licks from position 3 etc. great stuff/ you rule papa!

[@babakparvizi2425]

My favorite guitar teacher of all time and I've never even met him. Thanks Brett you are #1!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Thanks for checking out the vids!

[@jonnycoombes2247]

Brilliant mate. Excellent - sorting out the major/minor (blues context) is the thing that's gotta be the most difficult to learn, and yet you explain it really well.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@darragh140]

Cool lesson, brilliantly explained - thanks man.

[@BrettPapa]

Wow thanks! Thanks for tuning in!

[@MrBls4life]

The lightbulb went off yes thanks Bret

[@thearty001]

Please thank your mom for me. Your "light bulb", and your gift in teaching, has also illuminated the questions I didn't know, even to ask, and now I can finally, (after many many years of knowing the 5 positions, but not knowing how to incorporate them intelligently), begin a new chapter in having fun with my guitar. "You da bestest Brett!!! " (and thanks to my friend Dave, (RIP), who years ago took the time out to show the positions to me.... (it makes following your tutorials so much easier.) Omaha, Omaha, light bulb, light bulb....

[@davidbradley7752]

Hey Papastache .. watched this clip about year ago and was like aaaah… i'll never get to this level… but i tell ya, I'm right on this. Got everything u said into thick skull and ready absorb myself in this lesson until i nail it (thank u)

[@mrandmrshappy98]

David Bradley proper light bulb moment for me too. Ta stache.

[@Birchblaze]

Great lesson, thanks! PLEASE do a lesson on string raking! I have a tough time with it and haven't come across a lesson on it that really hit home yet.

[@raypitt9350]

Thanks for the informative lesson.forgot alot after 40 years of hardly playing.getting ready to retire and plan on playing again.

[@BBQ1953]

Thanks, Brett! I’ve struggled how to blend major & minor Pentatonic. You got it clear back when you were 13 or 14? You made this easier for me to get these concepts...and I am long past 13 or 14! Again, thanks!

[@BrettPapa]

I wish, I didn't start to really get it until I was in my 30's. Glad you liked the vids!

[@dviper25]

please keep going with this and show the minor side of this that u were doing at the end of hte video.. so to apply the minor pentatonic and major mixed and adding other chords and knowing how to add the same techniques if u did a whole 1,4,5 chord progression and how to add in licks to those other chords besides just a for example.. awesome stuff opened up a lot.. please add that video

[@danielchavanel6311]

Hey man, just wanted to tell what you already know and it's that you're the shit! This video, in particular, drastically helped me to understand how to flow between different shapes and also understand how they fit together. Its taken a while to break past this point, but just wanted to let you know i appreciate the help. Keep it up homie!

[@paulhamrick801]

Brett, I had so many of those light bulb moments you were talking about. You're the man thank you!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Glad it helped you out!

[@daviddeatkine4056]

Bless you! Extremely helpful. Have one of your CD sets. You and Tim Pierce are my favorite online mentors!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! We have a lot of new stuff together coming out in the new year!

[@MrSvante88]

This is such pure gold, that closing major/minor lick almost had me pop one.

[@BrettPapa]

Haha! Thanks for watching!

[@chrisdagrosa6751]

Dude you diffidently got it goin. What a eye opener of lesson. This is one of life's greatest moments ......lol Thanks Papa

[@matt6288joyce]

It’s incredible how easy you make this seem. Thank you so much for your knowledge!

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing! Thanks so much for watching!

[@wigglestickband]

awesome lesson dude ! i`m self taught and you make it easy to understand the things i have passed up

[@steven4210]

Papastache you rock my man! I love the videos and love your channel. I'm a bass player but am learning what guitar has to offer and it also builds better understanding of the bass guitar as well. Thanks man!

[@autocrow]

This is great stuff Papastache. I've been playing the major pentatonic a lot lately. I most always play minor. Playing major helps me identify notes in a different way. It also helps to inspire new riffs, because major is a totally different "happier" groove.

[@AdrianGarciaLic]

Awesome teacher ! Awesome musician ! Thank you for your lessons

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks Adrian!

[@carlosdeno]

Superb, so cool man. Opened doors for me and in a simple uncomplicated way. Thank you. ✌️

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! You are welcome!

[@laiklam96]

Very helpful. Please keep the rhythm going.

[@BOOMslang-qe2kt]

Great lesson,this is the sort of thing you can apply instantly to your playing and open up a whole new world of possibilities,excellent. How about a lesson on how to use hybrid picking to vary your licks? Thanks again.

[@vaner9283]

This was it for me! Light bulb lit up! I guess I've been waiting and working for this moment. Finally I understand. I see it. Like meeting the devil at the crossroads. Suddenly I'm so much better! Thank you.

[@BrettPapa]

Haha! Thanks for checking it out!

[@imlostinthewoods]

Another excellent lesson! You know one of the Hendrix songs I'd love to see you do lesson on is, "If 6 Was 9". Nobody has really even tried to do a real lesson on that awesome song. So many cool stops and starts with a funky blues feel going on. Thanks for considering.

[@BrettPapa]

True. Great song. I'll check into it.

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

That is one cool song

[@jolyonlacey6930]

superb! absolutely fascanating and invaluable lesson! having watched this lesson and then practiced the techniques, i suddenly figured out how to play the intro to 'Safe European Home' by The Clash. I have listened to this song for thirty years without figuring out how to play it!

[@jcournoyer2]

Amazing lesson!! So much to learn and experiment

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks John!

[@golfdom1987]

Great lesson! Love the major pentetonic stuff!

[@ryanm2373]

Thank you so much man! I was in such a rut before finding your videos. You're the freakin' man Papastache!!!!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for watching!

[@AlexAyyyyyy]

7:32 also sounds like "soul to squeeze". Great lesson!

[@stonemedicine]

Thank you so much for teaching usable information in a very clear and understandable way!!

[@b3verelabs583]

Blew my mind this made it all come together for me!!!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Glad I could help!

[@juliodizon9799]

Thanks man🤟it adds into my arsenal love it♥️

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome Julio!

[@ckjjclan]

This was like...awesome! The statement "...so theses six notes are just the beginning of pos. 3...." I mean why have I not SEEN that? In the 15 months I've been learning, I never saw that on the fret board. As Dr. Evil once said "Little help, need the info..." Thx Pappa

[@SRpwr]

I feel like I had an "AHA!" moment. Thank brother! You rock man! Since you seem to have a good amount of Hendrix and Gilmour, how about some SRV and Frusciante

[@ChristianLemon]

Maybe it was just this lesson or maybe it was just time, but for whatever reason I now see how the pentatonic forms match up under the major chords shapes. Mind blown, hopefully door opened. Thanks for your help

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome man! Sure thing! Thanks for watching!

[@Situayo]

Oh thats how you do it... ! Thank you Papastache!

[@Stashmanfpv]

This is a KILLER lesson! 🔥🔥🔥 Best! ✌🏼

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks!

[@user23d2s1a2]

Hey Papastache! It's really great that you focus more one theory, just what I need. I'd be glad to see a lesson on a John Mayer style soloing, the kind of solo he did on the intro of "Lenny/Man on the Side" on his live album "Any Given Thursday". He really hits the strings hard and I can't even see how these sounds come from one guitar! Thank you very much and keep it up for 2014!

[@24randall24]

I love your lessons!! Thank you, stache dude!

[@BrettPapa]

Thank you sir!

[@n97223]

Another great lesson from Papastache!

[@Vahan19901990]

You're awesome man, thanks for everything, we learn a lot, God bless you.

[@SenedgeTheAttic]

I spent the last 4 hours watching this. A light bulb went ding in my head. This is it!

[@Chozzer]

Would love some more major licks, if you're taking requests. Great lesson, thanks.

[@txpooldoc]

wow. I get it now. man you just opened a big door for me. thank you ! ! !

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Way to go! Thanks for checking it out!

[@ishyaboy]

Great lesson! Johnny marr style lesson would be almost too much handle. I would be eternally great full! Keep up the good work

[@roygee1283]

[@Fawior]

A new lesson everyday, Papa you're fuckin' awesome!

[@binglettt3075]

I think you just became my best friend. Thanks man.

[@Theguitardun]

Fantastic lesson!

[@charliebluesmanmyers2519]

nice lesson, I teach in Kingwood, Tx, I'm always looking for cool lesson ideas, I will share this with all my students

[@brandonspencer6012]

Very cool. Easy to understand

[@raypolakovic1290]

Love that lick at 12:40

[@noonecaresaboutu6783]

thank you so much man, this is changing my life as i watch, i think after practicing along my mind is gonna fucking explode, ive struggled for too long, its starting to happen

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome man! You will get it! Thanks for checking it out!

[@noonecaresaboutu6783]

np, ive got the major pentatonic down in "a" all the way up the neck, ive been at it for two hours, time to hang it up for tonight, im hoping it will all come flooding in all at once, its starting to click though thanks again man

[@ShaneBaccas]

Awesome loved it part 2!

[@spk1969]

Seriously some of the best guitar instruction on You Tube! I'm happy to buy some of your DVD's just because of the amount of quality free lesson you give but wanted to see if you have a downloadable version. I'm at the point in my technology that I don't want any more physical disks. Perhaps you have a paid site where you can access the lesson's you have on DVD's? I like the way guitar tricks.com formats their access but like your teaching style and information much better.

[@OmnipotentO]

i saw they mentioned papastache in GuitarPlayer magazine. They gave him props for his Day of the Eagle video

[@MimicDaravon]

Excellent lesson.

[@babilonex]

Very very well done and inspiring! 🤘

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! Thanks for tuning in!

[@mixermantim]

Hey I absolutely love the channel. Thanks for all the good slapping licks

[@Timmmmy]

Familiar with major & minor pentatonic scales but kinda level out on them & need a bit of direction. It's short lessons like this that just unlock real 'holy shit' moments! Awesome lesson, thanks!

[@andreasschneider8556]

Thank you very much! Good Lesson!

[@gelatosamurai]

Thank you, Thank you and thank you.

[@joshp777]

PAPA Please Please to some Jon Fru...Soul to squeeze!!?? Some of his funk stuff? Best teacher out there!!

[@Jimbo_Conn]

Great video, I wish I found this years ago. Thanks

[@BrettPapa]

Glad you found it! There is a whole playlist of stuff like this on my main channel!

[@Jimbo_Conn]

Thanks. Just subbed to both

[@scottwillott1]

I would like to learn some of the blistering hybrid picked descending major/minor runs that you do sometimes during your lessons (the really fast & complex ones)

[@SeanLKearns]

i think the riff @12:20 would resolve better if you hammer the E at the 9th fret instead of the 10.

[@guitarrehabguys]

For once, i really think i´m understanding this now. Will be practicing this indeed! :) A BIG thank you ;) !!!

[@ericzugner7194]

Thanks for your help. Nice job.

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing Eric! Glad you liked it!
