[@lueysixty-six7300]

Dude, these are great! Make this a regular segment! Not only will we all watch them all in full - we will watch it multiple times back n forth to repeat practice. And again in following weeks to drill them I to long term memory. You have a lovely, simple & melodic way of phrasing - I've always thought that.

[@donly8408]

Agreed!!!

[@newmexicosaint]

Yup I have watched this 3 times now, playing along.

[@kentm58]

Thank you. This has been so helpful to me. I'm 76 and just getting out of rythym to soft and gentle leads. This is a great start for me.

[@RC32Smiths01]

These sound very wonderful! So cool, and of course they can definitely be expanded on and inspiring with that tone! Cheers!

[@nickbrouwer9643]

Hi Darrel, I play for about 14 months now and it is very stimulating to watch this video because this time I can play along. It's doable!

[@niallmcdowell4812]

Great video, absolutely love this format. Hopefully there's more like this to come.

[@nikolaysergeevUSA]

This is a great lesson to start practicing pentatonic licks and find out what works best for your style. Thank you!

[@mara.j]

Great Video! always were a fan of your licks. Also a great teacher 🙌

[@darkiee69]

Anyone else who hopes that he would tie them all together in one long solo over that backing track?

[@val_solooo]

Exact same thoughts, was waiting for a solo.

[@TrickyGomez]

That's your job... Put in the work!

[@ultracharge12]

Yep, totally

[@Sparkblaze21]

I was waiting, til I saw this comment

[@myoriginalname]

im just halfway through and thought he would do that by the end, kinda disappointed now

[@vincelicas2422]

Yay a lesson video! love the gear videos but also love these lessons too!

[@kennethm.380]

Darrell. I've been playing a couple years and work the pentatonics pretty regularly to a backtrack. I'm doing 5 of these at a time. I just want to thank you for putting this out. You should sleep like a baby at night knowing all the joy you're bringing to people. God bless.

[@mjn55128]

Darrell - thank you for this video...just what I needed. Not only great sounding licks to keep in my back pocket (to quote you), but also learning some new techniques. Like lick 7 with the bend while keeping the pinky anchored...never thought I'd get that but I did!! that makes me so happy!! thank you!!

[@ianrickey208]

Such a beautiful guitar! Thanks for sharing these licks, I look forward to adding these as flairs in my own hacky playing! Fun, fun, fun!

[@wolf.friends]

Dear Darrel, thank you so much for these wonderful licks and the accompanying backing track. I've been looking for something like this for a long time. You have motivated me as an electric guitar beginner not to give up playing solo. please more of these practical aids. i love your channel. Greetings from Cologne, Germany. Wolf 👍

[@FredericoOrion]

That's so helpful, while I was practicing these I came up with a tons of others licks. Great job and thanks man

[@rnarizona9686]

Darrell, I have watched many of your videos over the years, mostly gear reviews, and they are always good. However, this type of teaching video is really superb, and judging from the other comments, many agree. Please continue these types of teaching videos.

[@shannonjones3714]

Excellent job! Simple but tasty! Thank you for sharing these!

[@donly8408]

WOW! I really needed these. Thank you so much. Please keep these segments coming...

[@tammycoates7816]

Wow very beautiful licks Darrell, definitely worth learning.

[@gearViewmirror]

Thanks Darrell! Exactly what i needed to kickstart my weekend! Love from🇨🇭🎸🤘

[@jonatasroque4868]

I don't usually comment in this type of video but man...this is quality content, continue with this great work Darrel, this is premium teaching and content 👏

[@newmexicosaint]

This is the first time in my 3 years of trying to play that I was able to play something with some melody. I especially loved that there are so many potential variations that jump out at me. 🤯🤯

[@jalmodov7817]

This is very generous! I love every single one of them. Thank you!

[@jcoulter43]

Great stuff! That PRS HB SE is just gorgeous and the perfect sounding instrument to showcase these sweet licks. God bless and rock on 😎🎸👍

[@Taallyn]

These look like great little nuggets to put into my practice routine. Thanks a bunch!

[@pablothecat5419]

These sound great. Definitely learning them

[@markay_]

This is so awesome! Gives you a lot of possibilities to make your own licks. Thx for this man!👌🏼

[@scottjames6037]

Just got back into playing. You are one of my favorites YTers. Thank you.

[@Z_333_]

Great tutorial,.love the content and the laid back delivery style, I've only just discovered your channel and will enjoy working my way through it I'm sure. 🤘

[@christianzelaya6361]

If only every guitar teacher would do lessons this way... Most other ones just brag of their guitar skills. You are great, man.

[@atreidas]

thanks. a lot of fun. i had just play the first lick over the backing track and it sound great

[@alexandersarnataro3855]

[@69narsus68]

Great licks, sounds really good.

[@michaeladshead-sonofthecit3701]

Some very nice licks and very well explained thank you. 👍

[@clintonbirdsr.8598]

Good stuff! 👍🏼

[@LukaszVT40k]

Thanks Darrel! I've been playing for a while and have all the pentatonic shapes down, but still lack the "vocabulary", as it were, to put licks together. This will give me a great start, cheers!

[@jasoncolemanarizonaloanoff1574]

Great licks!

[@thomasschrein7584]

That was beautiful! I’ll be using those in the future. Nice getting a different perspective too get me out of a rut.

[@jaroslavholinsky8105]

I have a fantastic day whenever Im learning these wonderfull simple and so so so much beneficial licks:):):):D Thanks You So MUCH!!!!

[@austinkleese3045]

This gave me so many ideas! This was an awesome video

[@got2rock4]

Great lesson I've been teaching and playing lead guitar for 40 yrs. But I fell in the trap of minor pentatonic scale and modes for so long but neglected major pentatonic therefore have trouble visualizing licks in the major version. This video opened door to where I can visual new licks in the Major pentatonic.Great Video👍

[@KUYAPHENG]

Thanks for your lickz i really love it. . Its very helpfull for me as a beginner. .

[@MoloGrande]

Great lick. I'm going to try them for sure :)

[@craigpetterson3962]

Excellent fun thanks darrell.

[@michaelolz]

Hey Darrell. These licks have taught me a lot. I’ve been going over them quite a bit and it’s really helped me out! I’m no longer in a rut. So thanks for being the most melodic guitarist in the KZbin community. It’s coherent and it sounds great.

[@joeblough261]

I do find DB to be EXTREMELY melodic. Never hear him play something that isn't gorgeous. When he did that Xavier/Guitarfetish Les Paul review, he just starts playing gorgeous lines to a backing track.

[@MCLBC]

I can't thank you enough for this!!! It really changed my playing. 🎯

[@sirusmay5614]

Love it, Thanks a world

[@burnedmyfoot]

Thanks for the licks bro

[@jerrylake6825]

Really more of these helpful videos . This video helped me...Thanks

[@tonetoner8789]

Cool stuff to get me playing now, thanks

[@claudiajay8291]

Very helpful!!!

[@andrewbarker9773]

cool licks, nice little lesson

[@anthonyp7340]

Beautiful phrasing!

[@Rustyjamesman]

These are amazing! Really love the one around 9:25

[@ghanshyamprajapati120]

Beautiful licks easy for beginners .

[@axfxe355]

These lessons are really helpful, you need to do more of pentatonics and arpeggios too

[@danielreysepe1469]

wow cool very easy to understand for me

[@Diemritz2001]

Thanks Darrell, you rock!!!

[@manrohunter1382]

Thanks brother..easy to understand..🙏

[@satyakaamkatznelson8915]

Thanks Darrell these are great jump off points. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@KatherineV06]

Beautiful!!! And well_explained 🤘🤘 thank you!

[@RobertToth1217]

Was feeling a bit of a creative block on this solo in major. This was some nice inspiration to get back at it!

[@pinkuhaque8344]

Awesome guitar lesson, very very conceptual.

[@jasoncolemanarizonaloanoff1574]

Needed these. Thank you

[@TennisOnion]

Nice stuff, thanks

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

awesome video Darrell!

[@davidwilliams1326]

Great stuff man!

[@challeis1]

Thank you for sharing these. From Australia Qld bless.

[@Gandzi]

That guitar is insanely beautiful!

[@haroldjhafhethmelendezmart3655]

nice video , i really enjoy watching your videos, great job, greetings from Mexico

[@hargoniyamaki5168]

Good lesson, well done and perfect for early players.

[@TonyAguirreJazz]

Darrell, these are great!

[@speed-writer]

This is exactly what I was looking for 🤩

[@SpiderStratagemVI]

Thanks for the licks! Slower licks need to be accurate so each bend, note has a chance to shine- well done simple lesson! My biggest problem with solos(other than me playing😆) is trying to smoothly transition to things the licks together. Any suggestions?

[@RS2KR]

Great vid 👍

[@troyspencer712]

as a player of just under a year. These videos are invaluable to me. cheers fr NS

[@miguelangelperez8113]

Thanks Darrell. It's very hepful for those that are getting into first licks. By the way, that guitar looks...👌

[@kevinmorris7722]

Love the theory and licks.

[@JimmyRadloff]

Nice! Love that guitar 🤘

[@kdrake777]

Best lesson ever!

[@dbreardon]

These are awesome! Beginner with one month under my belt as of today. Been working on these for two days along with pentatonic and some chords. But I love these little licks. Not great at the slides.....need to have my volume higher up and use my humbucker rather than single coil on my superstrat. I can get a slide to go forward but not really good at going backwards....and certainly not the forward and back. But still have fun with it and working on it. Thanks!

[@nicolastrudel9320]

Thanks for the helpful licks. Any more coming ?

[@garycrouse1918]

excellent Darrell

[@davidqueen5098]

Amazing

[@WhiteEagle27]

The first lick is the hook lick for a worship song, From the Inside Out. Awesome vid!

[@benjaminnaidoo9776]

I thought it was familiar, couldn't put my finger on it 🤣🤣

[@Fontear17]

Thank you bro I appreciate you

[@mojohinson1540]

Adding these to the arsenal

[@johnnytchung1762]

Thank you very much

[@Trejay93]

Yoooo bro this helped me out a ton! New sub here lol

[@drvijil]

Very nice. You should throw in these lessons, covering basic skills, more often. BTW, that PRS guitar is beautiful and sounds great.

[@natlparkdude]

Learning electric/lead after many years of acoustic/rhythm. I appreciate all these licks as I try to build up my "toolkit". Thanks, Darrell.

[@Lloyd_Christmas11]

Going to learn these tomorrow.

[@SonGoku013]

Hey Darrell! Love the vids man. Saved up some money and been thinking about buying either this guitar or the new fender ultra HSS strat. Would love to hear your opinion on which one I should use!

[@joeblough261]

Lick #2 gives me a vibe of Styx's "Babe", which I love, along with this lesson.

[@aras1985]

Esy and effective, good job 😁

[@Slashturianu]

Thank you!!! for sharing that lovely licks!!!!, With your inpiration I did my better solo after one year playing guitar. (I start With 46) greetings from Spain 🤟😎, you play cojonudo 🎸

[@musicalvibes5852]

Wow This is so cool👍👍

[@jssome7835]

Damn some of those licks were beautiful
