I joined and became a member today to get the tabs.I have been wanting to learn this cascading pattern, now I can.Thanks Robert for sharing your skill.

[@guadalupegarcia8149]

Finally someone says where to start the run in the groove!!! Thank you

[@markr8326]

YEAAAAAAH !!!! Cascading Pentatonic runs, this is the one I've been waiting for Sir. Thank you & please (add on more in this style when you have time)!

[@JD-rv7sf]

You're my favourite teacher on KZbin, Robert.

[@Dolphinstreets]

Thanks so much!

[@maxkelter3561]

Really like the slow motion along with the views ascending & descending. It helped alot.

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

This is a very valuable lesson. Definitely learn this one everyone! Then after you get this one down, do it in 3's and even 5's. Then do the same things using diatonic scales. Also, learn everything you do in different positions within that key. Then transpose them to other keys. I learned this particular pattern many decades ago, and am still finding new ways to extend it and learn more.

[@fivefingerfullprice3403]

_Then transpose them to other keys_ Yeah I don't think you were paying attention, this is in the key of C position. If you want to do it in other keys watch another video.

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

@@fivefingerfullprice3403 C doesn't have "a position." You're a beginner and I've been teaching advanced guitar since I was just a kid in the late 70's. Don't fool yourself, because even an intermediate player knows you can play any key all over the neck. Also, this is C minor, not just C. Because when not specified, the default is always Major. These are diatonic scales (7 note scales) so in fact, they have 7 positions, not 1. You too can learn to play in any key all over the fretboard. But first you need to admit you don't know this stuff well enough to be an instructor, not even for basic students yet. You have to at least be intermediate before you can teach basic. That said, mistakes are intrinsic to learning. Never making mistakes only means we're not even trying to get better. When we refuse to admit our mistakes, it's only we who suffer from that choice, because all it does is self-stagnate our own education. Free your mind from the false idea that you already know what you do not know, only then can you start to learn what you do not know. And if you do as I suggest, you will learn some of what I already knew 40 years ago, and if you're much younger and stick with it, one day you might even know more than I do. I don't doubt your ability to be great, I doubt your ego. To be great, you'll have to get rid of that, because the ego only slows us down and causes us to be prejudiced instead of having an open mind: the only way to learn anything. Btw, the method I was trying to teach on that old comment is one of the best ways I know of to become an advanced player. But it seems you know at least some scales, so your next step anyway is to learn the other 6 positions of that C minor Key. Or do it the wiser way and first learn C Major/A minor (same notes, no sharps or flats) in all 7 positions, and say (or better yet, sing) the note names as you play them. Once you have done that, you will know every note on the guitar, and knowing those shapes you can now start playing those same shapes all starting on the same root note, and that's all seven modes. And each of the diatonic modes al have seven positions as well. I think that's 84 scales total, using just seven different shapes. Once you've learned that, then you're an intermediate player and can honestly start teaching beginners.☺ I'm rooting for you! P.S. Until then though, try not to mislead other beginners, okay?🙂

[@fivefingerfullprice3403]

@@aylbdrmadison1051 It's guitar: if you want to transpose just move up and down the neck. I was being facetious. I'm not reading all that btw, lmao.

that was awesome :) I've never had cascading runs explained so simply! good stuff!

Thanks for the lesson. A tip for similar videos in the future: Give an example in the context of a solo.

[@patrickian8843]

This is likely the best video I’ve seen on cascading licks (ascending and descending). You’re in my top 3 instructors on KZbin…You, Steve Stine and David Wallimann.

Hi Robert, I joined KZbin in 2009, and I'm sure you were one of the first channels I subbed to. You have always tried to make it easier for the viewer to see what you are doing on the guitar, the view is everything :) All the best for the Season, and Happy New Year, keep the licks coming :D

[@Dolphinstreets]

Thanks man

[@nascimentoalexandre]

Great lesson! I need to mention that, this view of the fretboard is sensational!

Glad to hear this!

thanks for this lesson! amazing pattern, never discovered it until i came across YOU!

[@Dolphinstreets]

Glad to hear!

[@xmateosx]

I love this little pattern and you play it so fast and smooth. I'm going to make a vid of how fast-n-clean I can play it now, which will be slow-n-sloppy. I wanna see how long it takes me to get to your speed. A self challenge lol

[@Dolphinstreets]

Great - I wanna see it!

Another invaluable lesson n tks Rob. I'll definitely be getting this under my fingers

[@renwickconolly2839]

Thank You!

[@jjruizsoriano]

Excellent exercise to practice the picking motion!! Down-Up-Down-Up-Up while ascending and Up-Down-Up-Down-Down while descending works for me. By the way, Do you use the same fingering when you go up in the fretboard? let's say twelve fret as example, I find a little tricky to change from ring finger to middle finger in the ascending pattern (5º and 4º string), it looks like there's plenty of space at the fifth fret or so, but it gets difficult to keep that as you move to higher positions. Thanks for the lesson Robert 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

[@michaelfarkas2257]

you should just do straight alternate picking no matter what. why would you do otherwise?

[@jjruizsoriano]

@@michaelfarkas2257 it’s a matter of picking orientation and string attack. I use downward pickslanting and outside picking, that way the upstrokes create a scape zone, avoiding the pick to get stuck while switching between strings. I can play fast and clean with this approach. Straight alternate picking can be done, of course, but it involves others mechanics in order to combine inside and outside picking effectively which I find more complex and prefer to avoid.

[@freddelgenio5710]

Great lesson, thank you. Have a great holiday. Maybe for the new year, some more Oscar Peterson inspired licks.

What does cascading mean when it applies to guitar solos?

[@Dolphinstreets]

I just mean a sequence of notes played in a pattern, which gives it a cascading sound.

Robert, is this supposed to be all alternate picking or are you doing some sweep picking too?This could affect the speed of the run?

[@Dolphinstreets]

Neither. I use hammer-ons and pull-offs.

«´Play the 4th note on the down beat ‘, what does that even mean?

[@Dolphinstreets]

If you tap your foot to the beat, play the 4th note when your foot hits the floor. Those are the downbeats - 1, 2, 3, 4.

[@jnorc75]

Arent you playing the G shape, not the C shape? C minor pentatonic's C shape is from the 3rd to the 6th fret. Still, i like the 4 note pattern 👍

[@Dolphinstreets]

No it’s C minor pentatonic box 1.

[@jnorc75]

@@Dolphinstreets got it.. box one... not shape C... thank you.

[@mrmr314]

Why play it in C? Most rock tracks are in E, A, G or even D or B. Why C?

[@Dolphinstreets]

Variety. It’s good to get used to playing in many different keys.

[@kriegsmit]

This is how Joe Bonamassa plays!! but faster

[@Dolphinstreets]

He picks most notes I think. I do hammer-ons/pull-offs.
