@@Jonathan-L That just made my day! Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words!

Man This is amazing ! Excited to have you giving these awesome videos and lessons! Thank you!

[@matheuscanteri]

@@benbush1227 I’m glad you enjoyed the content! I just put out another video about improvisation! Check it out! Thanks for your support!

[@marcinbreczko4777]

Very important lesson, Sir! It's vital to distinguish between all these flavours in a solo - it's a great way of ordering ideas and giving them meaning and direction. Thanks!

[@matheuscanteri]

@@marcinbreczko4777 exactly! Thank you so much for watching and for your comment, my friend!

[@aubreygrandy170]

Carol Kaye said something like, it’s easy, you only have to play the notes that work. This makes sense to me more and more all the time.

[@daalfemc]

you are the man bro

[@matheuscanteri]

@@daalfemc Glad you enjoyed it, my friend! Thanks for commenting!!!!

First off love this video. You have the best phrasing on KZbin without a doubt! I’m going to be buying your video here shortly and plan to take it to the wood shed over winter!!! I am trying to get better at playing the changes. But really want to incorporate licks into my playing more. I have a decent ear and theory knowledge but want more traditional and go to licks to add to my soloing. So any and all of those vids are much appreciated. Also really enjoy when you put out vids of playing tunes!

[@ACR-iu4sk]

That was some pretty tasty chicken-pickin' there, my friend. Best of luck to you in the music world. You're good...but so is everyone else. So stay focused on your Dream. Truly focused.

[@yellowmelodymaker]

It's very easy to understand, and if you apply it, your expression will expand even further. I appreciate your kind lecture. Thank you. And I have a request. I want to be able to play fast phrases. I would like to see videos of daily practice and various phrases. From Tokyo Japan!

[@matheuscanteri]

@@yellowmelodymaker daily practice could be interesting, I could probably share some of my practicing on some KZbin shorts. Thanks for watching, my friend! Stay tuned!

[@yellowmelodymaker]

@@matheuscanteri okay〜Looking forward to it!

[@mflee6590]

Love this idea!!! Would love to see your daily practice.

[@elvisalexandre7141]

excellent tips, thank you very much for the video✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

[@donvape336]

Wow. I learned something today. Thanks

[@kulishekkulda3785]

Oh man thank you sooooo much, using of the pentatonics and mixing of them to fit with chords that is what I have been struggling for many years, now it is much more clear thanks to your short explanation.🙏🙏🙏 When you will come to 🇨🇿 you will get 🥃 or better cz beer from me👍💪😂🙏 Many thnx Matheo

[@matheuscanteri]

@@kulishekkulda3785 I’m glad you enjoyed the content and I’ll definitely take you up on that offer haha cheers, Matheo! 🍻

[@BlackRaven156]

Fantastic lesson as always! I love the content you're already doing, but could you ever do a tutorial on the verse licks in "Thanks A lot" by Ernest Tubb? I'm an intermediate guitar player my wife and I are working on this song. I'm trying to figure out all the lead parts. You're an incredible player! Thank you so much for your amazing lessons!

[@matheuscanteri]

That’s a great song! Maybe I can feature it on a future video! I just featured “Drivin Nails in my Coffin” on my top 10 country intros video. Thanks for the comment and stay tuned for more! 🙏

Another great lesson! I'm busy transcribing your country improvising #7 video at 75% speed (thats as fast as I can do it, 😅) and lots of ideas you mention are in that solo. Loving your work and learning loads, so much to get through cheers Matheus!🙏

[@matheuscanteri]

@@HughJengine Oh man! Thanks for sharing that feedback! Just made my day! Yeah, these are the concepts most country players use 90% of the time!

[@GreyMouser517]

How am I just finding your courses? I've been playing for years but started out on bass. I've been doing some rythm and vocals lately and trying to improve with some chops. You have a nack for explaining and teaching. Love that tele too.

[@matheuscanteri]

@GreyMouser517 Well that makes me very happy! Thanks for the kind words! I’m glad you’re enjoying the content and if you want to know more about the guitar check out HC Guitars on Instagram/facebook! Thanks again!

[@chriszacherl7637]

great lesson. thanks! would be great if you posted a vid every now and then of you playing live with a band.

[@matheuscanteri]

@@chriszacherl7637 thank you so much! As a matter of fact I do have one with a band live in the studio playing a classic that’s coming out soon! I’ll add it to my “live in the studio” playlist, check it out if you haven’t yet! Thanks

[@donivanthompson221]

First of all, I enjoy your lessons- very informative and helpful. Second, I’m a country guitarist also and I try to create my own leads. I can pick up sounds with my ears better than my eyes. So, teach me how to be a guitar thinker more than a guitar player.! I don’t want to overplay but also don’t want to over think. Thanks in advance

[@kmarsh2442]

Hey i was looking for something on open string lines that are higher up on the neck. I liked your video on fast open string lines. Trying to find some stuff that uses open strings almost like a pedal tone to make chords or lines. Larry keel does this kind of thing a lot

[@matheuscanteri]

@@kmarsh2442 That’s a great point! I will keep that in mind for future lessons. Thank you so much for watching and for your comment!

[@kmarsh2442]

Thanks for all the videos you post!

[@jonathanavery7583]

Wow, awesome lesson. Over the four and five chord, I reckon you could also use the Gm pentatonic and Am pentatonic. Would you ever do that Matteus?

[@matheuscanteri]

Yes, those are definitely compatible, and if you think of the pentatonic scale as just a diatonic scale without 2 notes it doesn’t always make sense to use those other pentatonics, you might as well play the entire diatonic scale, BUT when you add the passing tones to those secondary options of pentatonics That’s when they really shine! You end up with chromatic lines in unusual places. I intend on making a video about that as well! Thanks for your comment!

[@guitarplayer5932]

how come nobody plays clean anymore? is everyone hiding behind overdrive?

[@davidpenwell3432]

Solo and lead with the chord patterns from the caged system. That's like all country music is besides techniques of chicken pickin and a ton of double stops. Everything else is literally working off the chord shapes in the caged system. Country music is the easiest music to make. Obviously to make it great you still need great musicians and writing. But you get my point. It's easier to make a chord progression, over dub up the next with the same chords but in different shapes, solo over those exact same patterns with the chord notes. Put some triad or or double stop 2 note chicken pickin and random bends.. country music.

[@matheuscanteri]

Yes! I’d go even further and say that other than really complex jazz playing, this formula solves any style of music! Rock, blues, pop, country, etc…

[@monicashuart-ls1hw]

I completely disagree with davidpinwell3432, as a hired gun guitarist for forty years country guitar playing is much more intricate than other johndras.

[@taprobinson9595]

I take it David you’re not a professional musician no genre of music is simple every one of them can take a lifetime to almost master try playing a simple piece of music ie 3 chords then listen to Bb King Tommy Emanuel or Brent mason and see how not simple it is
