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!!

[@flouisbailey]

Eddie is full of tricks, problems with bar chords look for his index finger strengthener exercise.

[@rickyparr8001]

I am 65 always had an acoustic but we never had internet,i never got anywhere,now i have electric,easier to learn and progress on,i love my electric,i cannot say thank you enough,You are a confidence builder and motivater,you have added so much quality to my playing,i am able to do this,i love these sounds thank you so much for your education and your time,really cool

[@cheyennesantos-l4g]

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.😅

[@ronpatterson6420]

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

[@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

[@gergemall]

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

[@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.

[@neilmartin1111]

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

[@franciscosanchezcamarzana7971]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!! 🤘🎸😎

[@Glen-ib3fy]

Great job on this one, thanks

[@kukladbob1]

Good thorough lesson. Thanks Eddie 🤘

[@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!

[@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

[@charliewelch328]

This is a great lesson

[@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

[@GoalGloryTV0167]

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.

[@bryantcochran5065]

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

[@myvalium1]

Great lesson- thnx !!

[@silentrage7280]

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

[@richardyates5321]

Thank you for this video. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for very good teaching..

[@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!

[@Clintjohnsmusic]

Glad to see these..more licks please..long time subscriber here from philippines❤

[@planetwells]

Love your style of class

[@sharkman4928]

Pretty cool stuff Eddie! Thanks!!!!

[@dograff23]

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

[@ahandymanishere]

I love this lesson

[@mjt106]

Excellent 👌🙏

[@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.

[@adamdelarozza1985]

A bigger challenge is to play it on your acoustic guitar but manyana, I'll break out my Les Paul and try these excersises out, when its not so late at night🙂, thank you for showing these patterns!

[@JABTV2008]

beautiful! Just opened up a whole new world for me! Thanks a million!

[@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?

[@mrp410]

same here. It probably comes down to the speed you want.. Going up and down is less efficient perhaps than straight down and milliseconds probably make a difference?

[@ezkempinkemp3467]

Thanks!

[@austinsandefer649]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@d.l.huntministries8131]

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

[@justindunnsr4601]

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

[@SNMPSimamora]

awesome 👍

[@andrewjames6009]

Subscribed. Enjoying these lessons. Easy to understand and making lots of sense.. 🙌🙌

[@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!

[@scottconn2759]

Great teaching method, slow and easy to understand.

[@donpogi1]

Thank you sir.. Mabuhay 🇵🇭

[@jimmyk5223]

Nice lesson. Thanks 👍

[@AAminy]

thanks

[@Bieber2011Fever]

Nice lesson for beginner shredders but please tell me - wouldn't it be more efficient to upstroke that high E string on these repeating licks??

[@geeinski]

You are a great teacher and I really really loved this lesson!!!!

[@mbessle5102]

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

[@johnmurryvlogs8603]

Excellent session! thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you liked it!

[@davespears2241]

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

[@randall_4126]

i love that guitar. went to the suhr website and tried building it. It is over 4k. Wild

[@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.

[@ThomasC-s2b]

Thanks bro I’m going to learn more from you!

[@ememeable]

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

[@ultrakool]

this guy's tips always have a lot of meat on the bone

[@omnamahshivaya6299]

WHERE'S THE BEEF? THIS GUY KNOWS.

[@davidreynolds2228]

Great stuff, thanks, AND did you really just say that?!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Gotta listen til the end!!!😂✌️🎵🎶🎵

[@edwardwesterfield6697]

Great stuff!

[@djabe1992]

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

[@pieterharmse3657]

What a great lesson Eddie. Thankyou so much

[@Ives-f4w]

Ok good 🎸🤠👍🏆

[@fredbiancardi4441]

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

Thank you

[@Acelespaul]

Such a great lesson - Thank you ❤

Awesome video, thanks a lot

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

[@ThomasGilmore-fi6gb]

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

[@bluehorizon76lca]

Good lesson mate! thanks!

Glad you liked it!

Love this, the first one is Wishbone Ash!

[@jvs25]

Great lesion. What are your amp and guitar settings?

[@mikekraz6193]

thanks!

[@furi9677]

Very nice tutorial thanks bro from saudi pinoy

[@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!

[@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

[@mashaka254]

Some wizard here nice teaching

[@stewartbone4236]

Excellent.

[@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.

[@fredbiancardi4441]

Loved what u taught me

[@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

[@stevensturgill1001]

Hey Eddie I purchased g.m.m last year r ur lessons part of that purchase

[@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

[@Show-z7m]

Thanx Teacher...

[@jamessidney2851]

I went to see Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro at the NY Metropolitan Opera. I kept waiting for the part where somebody sings “Figaro, Figaro, Figaro” but it NEVER HAPPENED! Turns out that’s from the Bugs Bunny Cartoon where Bugs is a conductor. Who knew?

[@LowKickMT]

yeah man who knew

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

Mozart knew. 😂

[@vloggingismyhobby]

This is useful for the beginner like me.

[@davidschwindt3045]

Defently a great teacher for my ADHDed brain.

[@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?

[@ernnyshut5529]

God bless you bro

[@januszwu973]

great

[@billybudd45]

Good fundamental

[@NikosKatsikanis]

i would explain what key you are on each lick

[@spaceguy7777]

Ty

[@diogenesstudent5585]

Is Suhr worth it?
