Increase your Pentatonic Speed from 0 ➜ 100 in just Minutes!

[@stevebordelon5361]

Your channel just came up in my feed. I really relate your your teaching method. Excellent job by a skilled guitarist and talented instructor.

[@edreed5571]

Mrs. Morris was my guitar teacher. 1972.

[@kyolic]

Dudes playing the guitar well are common nowadays. However, dudes not only playing well but TEACHING also well, are rare. You are one of those rare dudes, keep up the excellent work.

[@borncrazy24]

The tip on the Eric Johnson lick to use your second finger backed up with the third is gold. These are the easily overlooked little tricks that can really unlock your speed, or just make certain licks much easier. This is why I watch videos that may seem elementary at first, yet you never know what very useful things you can pick up. Great lesson!!

[@FischtankProductions]

On the first two licks, I naturally want to alternate up and down picking on each lick. is that a problem instead of going all downward picking?

[@ronpatterson6420]

Cool thing about this is a person can do it in any key which makes it movable.

[@jayreed1493]

Bro I’ve learned more from you than I have from anybody on KZbin and that’s saying a lot because I’ve been playing since 2015 and have seen a lot of people teaching.. I wish that I could get with you on a personal level because there are some runs that I would love to learn how to play but just can’t figure it out… You’re a great player and teacher though hands down

[@user-uj7kd6mb5b]

Gee! If lessons were like this back in the 80's I'd be great. I'm learning a lot! Great lesson!

[@ericbitzer5247]

I know right? All we had were expensive teachers and tab books.

[@SixStringRacer]

Absolutely correct, expensive teachers, tab and scale books. I've learned more the last 6 months from videos like these than I did 1988-1990! Thank God I picked the guitar back up. I'm in❤ all over again with it. Just old as shit now.😅

[@gergemall]

Man are you talking directly to me. I’ve played for years but definitely moving forward

[@rayfabris2512]

i like how you use split screen and slow it down and repeat it nice oh btw i have those bad habits 😮 I was watching John Sykes do the same paterns but I couldn't tell because he was so fast great lesson for myself thank you

[@martinmclean4801]

Awesome lesson, just got back from my teacher today and this is what we were doing, not what you are teaching but very close. I’ll just add that to what I learned today!!

[@beck204]

Are in person lessons helping you more than youtube and other online resources? Would you say it’s been worth it?

[@DavilaSombre]

@@beck204 With youtube online lessons you don't need the real teacher.

[@SixStringRacer]

This is literally a months worth of practice licks from 1 video that will help build you a solid lead base for a lifetime! I can see results in just days. I devote a minimum of 2 hours a day everyday. Thanks dude!! 🤘🎸😎

[@bryantcochran5065]

Great lesson, i always start slow and only try to build speed once i can do a lick cleanly ten times in a row. Thanks for this one Eddie.

[@stephengreen9663]

That is the way

[@adamhaze8477]

My wife thought this comment was 100% on point - which is odd as she does not play guitar

[@charleselijah1988]

Yo bro, like all I can say is God bless you man. You've helped me unknowingly, I've been searching for tips like this.

[@mo-em1ke]

1 thing ill say is dont always focus on slow, you need to incorporate sprints beyond your current speed even if they are a bit sloppy. Gotta do a bit of both

[@franciscosanchezcamarzana7971]

Simply thanks. Awesome, man. As a teacher, that's the way it should be taught.

[@joeybobbie1]

I wish KZbin was around in the early 70s. Guitar Players now have it made. I couldn’t afford lessons because I was too young to Work. So I had to Play a Record over and over again to learn the Song and the Lead Parts. I learned all the Chords mostly by Books, and also by Ear. I then learned how to read Tablature. I eventually got to the point where I could play almost all of Van Halen’s Songs, and moved on to learning Satriani Songs, mostly by Tablature. But back then we are talking about Hours and Hours of Practice, and really learning to recognize Patterns by Ear. Now you just click on KZbin and get excellent Free Lessons. I really liked the Eric Johnson Style Lick you were Teaching. Great Video and a Great Teacher. I plan on watching all your Videos. You’re never too old to learn some new Tricks. Subscribed.😁👍👍❤️

[@jasoncolap]

Who got the better education? No reason to complain

[@jimgodofbiscuits]

I had lessons in Jr High and it was worthless. They didn't even touch on basic essentials such as pick thickness, holding pick correctly, anchoring hand, angle of attack, pointing out I would go nowhere with the cheap JC Penny guitar with an action way off and strings an inch above fretboard (well close to it). I did learn to play somewhat reading music but have forgotten most of that and it's unnecessary.

[@SMGllc]

You have a natural gift for teaching and an amazing way of presenting the material and making it, SUPER relatable. Thanks for the lesson I learned a lot in just this one video. I will be back!

[@bryantcochran5065]

This is going to work great with my jazzyblues style. Woot! Now to get it clean with some speed.

[@davidbalan6571]

Set up a slow tempo on your metronome when you feel comfortable enough gradually increase the tempo.

[@neilmartin1111]

great tips again, love your series and you have improved my playing massively even after having lessons thanks from UK

[@jonathonwearn1098]

Nice video! Downward and upward pick slanting is key to switching strings quickly imo. That's something I wish I learned a couple of decades ago.

[@justindunnsr4601]

Oh my! I love it!!! Definitely appreciate you doing it over amd over and over and explaining while doing so for my understanding

[@dograff23]

The presentation was framed was easy to understand. I like your teaching and explaining.🤟

[@chucklewismusic]

I learned these when I first started learning scales from Arnie Vilches of Liquid Blue, Mark Farner and many other bands, but I’m glad I came across this so I can use as warm ups. Thanks a lot. Great stuff.

[@mikeschneider9442]

This is the simplest lick that I didn’t know how to play until I watched this video. Thank you!

[@wilrockq1065]

Great lesson. The section on the Eric Johnson lick - I noticed that Joe Bonamassa picks this differently and he uses fewer pullofffs. You can tell this especially when he plays with no effects and with a small amp. He takes this concept to another level.

[@walksuponwater7261]

There are lots of excellent guitarists that offer to show you the way to play beautifully. But in reality they just are taking to themselves and other elites in guitar playing. Their demonstrations are at lightning speed and nothing is actually learned, it is more of a show off of their skills. Your little video is packed with learning the speed tips and encouragement that us intermediates need to improve quickly. Funny I saw a video of Kiss doing a lead bit and it was just the sequencing pentatonic scale you just showed us! You demystify the guitar for us Eddie thanks man and long may you run!

[@kukladbob1]

Good thorough lesson. Thanks Eddie 🤘

[@silentrage7280]

Simple but cool. I'm practicing the tricks. Thanks dude!

[@pdxfun4888]

On the rock licks. I was always sloppy and I see why. The direction of my picking on the two very similar licks was enlightening. Thank you

[@mbessle5102]

5:05 "Freebird territory" - lol, love it!

[@austinsandefer649]

Bravo Eddie! Excellent lesson. Thank You... 🎸🎶

[@danius4043]

Hmm. Instead of Pull Offs, I am now calling them Flick Offs. Pun intended

[@feralshe-male6858]

i would pay for lessons from this dude! i jist discovered your channel yesterday and have already seen an improvement. my raw, painful fingers say so!

[@d.l.huntministries8131]

You are good @ teaching, I like how you explain everything.😃

[@charliewelch328]

Pretty cool stuff Eddie! Thanks!!!!

[@scottconn2759]

Great teaching method, slow and easy to understand.

[@ThomasGilmore-fi6gb]

Listen to all of the rocket powered lines on Dark Side Of The Moon. Gilmour knows that speed makes the music better.

[@davespears2241]

Best how to I've ever come across, thankyou.

[@ezkempinkemp3467]

Thanks!

Great job on this one, thanks

[@pieterharmse3657]

What a great lesson Eddie. Thankyou so much

[@AAminy]

thanks

[@fredbiancardi4441]

I know the scale weight your teaching but you taught me a lesson

[@ememeable]

Thank you a million I have been trying to do those for many years now however in isolation

[@garyeggleton1142]

I play the first lick starting with an upstroke

[@OnwardAndEdward]

That can work too! Whatever helps you play it faster

[@dan_kay]

You MONSTER!

[@WallieKoffman]

Thank you

[@mjt106]

Excellent 👌🙏

[@davidschwindt3045]

Defently a great teacher for my ADHDed brain.

[@johnmurryvlogs8603]

Excellent

[@mikekraz6193]

thanks!

[@Acelespaul]

Such a great lesson - Thank you ❤

[@GuitarMasteryMethod]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@user-ig8rq3zk7j]

awesome 👍

[@joemusicman64]

I noticed during that lick you start at about 11:10 that you play all down strokes when you play slow then you seem to do up/down/up, repeating when you speed up. Is that what I'm seeing? I've tried doing all down, then doing all alternate picking, and doing it your way (up/down/up). I'm trying to figure out what's the best habit to get into for the picking hand. Is it what feels best/most natural? Doing all alternate picking is complicated at first but seems the fastest when you get the hang of it (down/up/down, up/down/up). Let me know your thoughts. I ask this from a student perspective because these riffs are new to me.

[@furi9677]

Very nice tutorial thanks bro from saudi pinoy

[@vloggingismyhobby]

This is useful for the beginner like me.

[@fredbiancardi4441]

Loved what u taught me

[@bluehorizon76lca]

Good lesson mate! thanks!

[@GuitarMasteryMethod]

Glad you liked it!

[@johnnoeth2191]

Now... Is this the key to taking apart and duplicating Uncle Ted's scorching solo on Stormtroopers from the Double Live Gonzo record?

[@djabe1992]

Outstanding!!! What pedal you are using in this video? Thanks

[@jimwoodard64]

Not to be picky (pun intended), but when going from the E to B for example, wouldn't it be faster to pick up when going for speed? Great video, btw.

[@jvs25]

Great lesion. What are your amp and guitar settings?

[@billybudd45]

Good fundamental

[@MaxwellMhaka]

Awesome video, thanks a lot

[@danielmuza8556]

Awesome lesson, Now, how do I apply it to play over cords?

[@OnwardAndEdward]

You can generally get away with playing minor pentatonic over most chord progressions, especially in rock and blues. This lesson is focused on speed building, but we have plenty of other lessons on the channel that’ll help with playing over chord changes!

[@mo-em1ke]

Put a backing track on and make up random combinations of notes within the scale and try finish random strings of notes with a note that's in the chord that's backing you. Backing tracks will help you alot even when just running the scale over them

[@choochoochooseyou]

That first lick is great but I find I keep pulling the high E string off the neck. Or else I have to grip ridiculously hard to keep it in place.

[@stephenmoore1961]

Me too. Aggravating

[@johnnoeth2191]

My dream is to get that note for note.

[@ernnyshut5529]

God bless you bro

[@januszwu973]

great

[@NikosKatsikanis]

i would explain what key you are on each lick

[@berndfachinger6000]

Ok. 5 bpm. Play note. Make coffee. Play next note.

[@BkBk-gy6vr]

I can practice this 8 hours a day everyday and I cannot get any faster than my slow mediocre speed that I have. I think some of us just don’t have hands that can ever have this kind of dexterity

[@lhcsouth]

No weezing the juice! 🤣

[@chadjones4236]

Works for Zakk😈😎

[@dropdacoustix6992]

Can you do this same video in the other 4 positions of pentatonic scale or major, natural minor

[@dropdacoustix6992]

Should I resolve on root note or bend up to root not sure curious

[@AngelEyes2024]

How do you do a pull off on the high e string without pulling the string over the edge of the guitar?

[@AngelEyes2024]

Is it more of a push off rather than a pull off of the high e string?

[@SuperSalad7]

Freebird?
