This is perfect. 99% of beginning guitarists I hear trying to improvise just aimlessly run up and down scales and Tom just tells him to take a few notes and apply them musically. I feel like guitarists forget the musical aspect of guitar solos and also forget how much rhythm can change there "random" playing and make it sound interesting. Great job to both of these guys

[@MikeStock88]

Man that's such an obvious thing to do, shame I never ever thought of it... amazing lesson, I always hated improvising because it usually never has a structure, but playing variations on the lick gives it an identity and allows the listener to know where you are heading

[@harlequingurls879]

i love how confident he is in the guy. hes just like "look at you! look at what i made you! i am the master of teaching, look what ive taught" hahaha great lesson

[@Boons___1]

This is gold,indeed. All that guy really needed was a new perspective on the guitar and music. Hess seems like an awesome teacher!

[@liljts2525]

great lesson, ill say I watch this one more than any of them, but why is only tom getting recognized? like I mean this guy doubled his potential and playing ability in less than 10 minutes. great job man, keep it up:)

[@jamface_1232]

I actually thought the guys first improvisation was really good and relaxed,

[@frankotorresmusic6791]

Great video, the powers of having beard!

[@cosmicsea7]

I think part of the problem with some guitarists is just not having the confidence. I can tell the instructor helped give him some validation that he was good enough and then he started to play better after that. So yeah, we can definitely run into mental blocks when it comes to being creative.

[@vetter200]

Very nice. Simple and effective.

[@Jiggysaw509]

this is why I like this tom hess guy, he doesn't bug about holding the guitar the way he's holding it (I had a guitar teacher who did) and he gives you genius ideas

[@chewyflea]

I play bass and I learn more from these videos than 90% of bass tutorials! This guy is a real GURU!

[@stuffwithjon]

wow, he's a seriously good teacher. I have had issues as well with randomly picking notes out of the scale, this is really helping me

[@Likui]

the thing about tom is he understands how the human brain work. It's very important to understand how the brain work so u know what kind of info to feed it to solve a specific problem

[@Cain_Abyss]

Tom Hess, take a bow! I was stagnating like anything on my improvisations.. For the last couple of weeks I barely touched my guitar and just smoked weed... I felt like I'm never gonna play anything cool again. Now I feel encouraged to take up my guitar again.. Thanks Tom..

[@deVon30241]

Wow! What a turnaround! I'm happy for the dude, that must've felt great.

[@jkydiego]

tom knows how to teach

[@TheExtinctSpecies]

Tom Hess is an incredible teacher, I took the online improvisation lessons and I had no idea it would be so effective. All I want to do now is start from the very beginning of the lessons and do them all over again now, which I will. :)

[@danielellison4963]

Fantastic teaching! Simple and so effective! Tom found the issue so quickly and found a solution!

[@holyrocnroll]

This is so right! Its like just taking one idea and milking it! Instead of just going through all the licks you know already and coming up with different variations! Tom can I say that you are a genius?

[@aninstrumentalvision]

Tom is like a guitar psychologist!

[@Aurazan]

Dude! That was dead on! Completely unblocked me. I was like "Okay, I know a scale.... Now what?"

[@delchavez]

Everytime I watch one of Tom's vids, I walk away a better player.

[@Sc00bDJ]

this guy is the best guitar teacher ever, all the vids iv seen of him have really spoken to me

[@delacruzneili]

one of the great masters of all time! im forever indebted to you Tom!

[@chrisduncan2626]

[@DS-zo8xs]

The immediate difference from his first attempt at soloing to just rephrase the one lick was incredible.

[@christiandaniel8400]

The first few minutes felt like I was watching someone talking to their doctor during their appointment lol he got the help he needed

[@guitarlessons769]

[@chileperson98]

[@Math_tétreault]

Wow!!!!

[@UltimateRockLegend]

that is one epic beard!

[@masonreaume3316]

Dans my guitar teacher

[@und9r]

do you know what scale the he is playing ? it sounds good to me!

[@reelaw3155]

This was f*cking awesome.But of course it works best with a beard so go get one!

[@RAIDwarDEN]

I actually learned something useful off of youtube for once

[@conartist267]

Dan's technique is awkward. His thumb should really be higher hanging over the 6th string when he's on the high strings. How on earth he can bend at all is beyond me...

[@nonmusicman]

thats my exact same problem!!

[@SadisticKillerXx]

indeed

[@daaprtschdapsch]

its a a-minor scale, 5th fret

[@MegaMustaine87]

It's an A minor pentatonic: A C D E G (A).

[@JorgeGonzalez-jx7rr]

[@JeabAom555]

Wooow

[@rockndancenroll]

[@qwikfist8]

Anybody kno what guitar Hess is playing? Looks like a Carvin!

[@carlos2796]

Am pentatonic ;)

[@luismejia9918]

A minor Pentatonic

[@Iramonedied]

Are you for real?????

[@kalaisai680]

Uploaded on 2013 and got no recommendation untill today...damn i would have been a better player had i saw this 6 years ago...

[@AnchoredSoulSband]

I'm having lead issues

[@douche4ever]

sounds like just a minor pentatonic mostly

[@wakea.107]

Someone make a joke using: "A hipster and a genius are in a room playing guitar..."

[@theArchive1O]

I can't ever hold and play a guitar like that

[@guitarlessons769]

Awesome video! It helped me a lot!
