Learn how to solo and improvise Beginner rock blues lead guitar lesson pt1 scale jam track licks

[@horsepowerslave1]

Dave, havent seen a lesson from you in a wile, felt to letyou know that aprox. 1 year ago I bought youre 50 page book & backing track, long story short; I WANTED to let you know that YOU have been # 1 teacher in my learning of guitar,in many ways, but whats unique is youre ability to speak to us students & really make them believe that " you can do it! " I cant thank you enough for the positive encouragement to keep on rockin,it made ALL the difference to me.

[@rockongoodpeople]

thanks so much - really appreciate your kind words - so glad that I could be of help and that you like our lessons - keep up all that hard work on that guitar and thanks again for saying such nice things - means a lot to me! Take care and keep on rocking! David T, NLG

[@TheLunaMolina]

I really Can't begin to thank you enough. I have been stuck on the same old stuff since I was thirteen Same Pentatonic scales and I tried to come up with riffs and I just wasn't coming up with anything good. Now You have taught me How to solo along the fretboard which I have been trying to do for such a long time. But No one taught me. Since I am A Self taught Guitarist I struggle alot and pick up bad habits. I took lessons for 2 months but then I couldn't afford them. Can't thank you enough!

[@rockongoodpeople]

Hey man - thanks so much for your kind words - most appreciate! Really made my day! So glad that you like our lessons and that we can help you with your playing! Keep up all that hard work on that guitar and keep on rocking! -David T

[@StevenJanda]

I like how you demonstrate in easy to understand elements, like sliding and hammering, to create great leads without requiring virtually any speed. Your lesson pulled my mind out of the rut by showing easy options to enhance my playing. Thank you

[@stormsfortheLord]

Hi David, just really want to thank you so much for these lessons and exercises to strengthen my fingers. Always been self taught and tried to get lessons but had no satisfaction and wasn't given any exercises and felt like I was doing guitar karaoke but your explanations etc are so worth the while. I hit a brick wall and stayed there for so long and now I can feel the improvements already and it really has reignited that love and passion I have for this beautiful instrument. Thanks so much.

[@evanroberts5471]

I actually can't thank you enough, this has helped so much! Not only are you a fantastic teacher, you are a sensational person. Thank you :')

David, there are quite a few guitar teachers on the net, but technically you are the best, for sure! Thank you for all your hard work, making me better and better.... roCk oN!

[@RandomMasterGames]

you explain it so clearly. i did a improvised easy solo on the expended scale and everyone was like woaaa thats awesome. thanks for teaching this to the world!

[@jaripeters3348]

this video is like the start of my lead guitar journey, i've learned from this video a year ago and, this lesson was the beginning of a big step in my guitar playing, thanks for this amazing video man!

[@xxwantedxx]

+rockongoodpeople i don't like how you're trying to sell yourself but what ever.

[@treehugger059]

I'm so glad you are still making videos! I was hooked on the lesson vids from the old channel. So helpful!

[@rhcorr]

Dude you ROCK!! Just by watching your video with my guitar in my hands I made a major breakthrough in my improvisation skills. I was stuck on the "block pentatonic" level and wasn't really understanding how to "fuse" different scales. Maybe I won't need to hire a teacher after all! Looking forward for whatever I can get from your website. Thanks!

[@iczerx01]

I have been stuck in a rut lately, playing the same am pentatonic extended scale over backing tracks and not being able to break out and actually make it sound more like music than a scale progression. Your videos have opened my eyes to some plainly obvious things that I never thought about.

[@rockongoodpeople]

Hi, the PRS I use in this lesson is a USA made CE or classic electric model that I bought new in 1995 I believe. Its an awesome guitar and the craftsmanship on their guitars is outstanding. I own a second PRS and it is just as nice. I don't believe this is a 10 top guitar, I don't think they even had that open back when I bought it - but it is killer and has good tonal variety from the pickups - highly recommended - only negative feature is their line is expensive - keep on rocking! -David T

[@RobSummers]

Hey rockongoodpeople, I just watched Learn how to solo and improvise Beginner rock blues lead guitar lesson pt1 scale jam track licks and thought it was great. I'm looking forward to seeing your next one. Thanks again Rob Summers

[@heisenberg2729]

Great video!~I have been playing for a long time, I taught myself all the basic chords so I can make it through mine and others songs, but I have never learned to move around the board. I really appreciate this lesson, thank you very much!

[@d3nd0g]

Quick, concise. got me playing lead in 1 hour. yeeeaaah booooiiiiy! keep'em comin'

[@bigjimmyrocker]

Dave this is the best lesson I've seen you do... and you have done some good ones.. thanks for the post.

[@GeorgeBoyleglam]

Awesome lesson, I played bass most of my formative years and can strum a guitar quite well, loved this lesson!!

[@mtmals9786]

After hearing variations of this lesson a million times over two years, I just got it. Great lesson. Now I'll can practice from the root notes up and down the big E and actually understand what I'm doing. Great lesson and thanks for the ah-haa moment.

[@rockongoodpeople]

[@awittypilot8961]

David, I've been palying again after years of setting it down and I'm finally getting it. I used to play songs because there was no youtube now I'm learning guitar. I'm a flight , karate and NRA instructor and through all my instructor experience I know above all you have to connect to teach. Your lessons "speak" to me and I'm getting it. I've bought one of your lessons and will be buying more. Can you explain "5"th and "7"ths and such please? I'm not graspoing the flat 5th in theory. CHEERS!

[@sgmarshall3]

You have the knack for teaching. Good work

[@Daleczogalla]

Great lesson, great teacher, great musician!!!

[@Mikeyyopz]

You're an incredible teacher! Thanks bro.

[@DusttwoDust]

Yeah, I hear you. I didn't mean that I would jump right in to these types of solos, I'm just saying that I understand more about the guitar and notes / keys etc. And this is not the only video I've been checking out from you guys :-) It's a Harley Benton HB-10G, 1x 5,5" speaker, 10 watt with an override switch, 8W RMS 4 Ohm. As I said, nothing fancy.. just enough to hear myself play and since I live in an appartment it'll do just fine =)

[@mikeredrugger]

This was a really great lesson for me as I have been doing a lot of rythmic work but not so much in the way of lead or soloing. I love this video as it has helped me really expand what I was working on before and is really a great bit of fun to just mess around with. Didn't think it would sound so hot with heavy distortion and reverb but I was very very happily mistaken! Thanks again for a great lesson!

[@georgegoodrich4723]

Very good lesson. You give me hope.

[@gmummy]

Thanks guys, I learn something new every time !

[@ishmillero]

Some good ideas to work with, thanks for passing the info along and keep up the good work, your videos and website have helped me a lot!

[@nrg411]

Thank you. I knew it would take time to learn to play. Good luck to you.

[@DusttwoDust]

Gosh... I can't wait 'til I get my just-ordered guitar! It's a simple one and pretty cheap, but I think it'll do for me since I'm a "total newbie" :) As soon as when I've got familiar with my instrument, I'm so going to be using these lessons! I actually already feel like I've learned alot just by watching this video! Thanks alot man. Can't wait to Jam :D

[@bulltastik]

GRRRREAT lesson David T! Looking forward to part 2...Thx

[@reginaldsinlao8485]

[@MrYankees611]

hey, man, great lesson!!! I've been playing on and off for about 5 years now and I've been self teaching myself. However, I don't do very well when it comes to soloing in key. I know the blues scales and I fool around in those patterns, but Idk how to use those notes in that scale on other parts of the neck, while staying in key. Do you have any tips for that? I'm trying to become a better player but I get too impatient.

[@hawg427]

Hi David, love the PRS, is that a Custom 24 Model? Ten Top? Are you pleased with the craftsmanship? The PRS look like pieces of art.

[@TConder88]

Hey, thanks for your video- I'm thinking about buying an electric guitar... how much would you recommend I plan on spending on one as a beginner? Thanks for the input!

[@addic001]

WOW, I thought I suck not until I saw this amazing video..... just...... wow

[@nrg411]

I have watched your videos and though I find them very entertaining (you play incredibly good) I am lost. It is all very technical. Is there an introduction to your introduction? Just bought a new Ibanez MTM1 and Peavey Vyper amp thinking I could become a rock star. Now that I know there is alot more involved do you have any suggestions. Anything would be helpfull or I have a Brand new MTM1 with blackouts for sale. Please help

[@TheLunaMolina]

No Thank You For taking the time to reply :) That's awesome! And For sure I am about to sign up right this moment. :)

[@rockongoodpeople]

Hey Dave, is there a video on how to train my musical ear?

[@rockongoodpeople]

If you know all the shapes for A minor just move everything up a whole step and you will be in B minor. Don't let key throw you - you are just shifting all the intervals or boxes or scales, (whichever works best for how you see the neck), up or down the guitar neck - easy! Enjoy -David T

[@sean106alcon]

This guys a good teacher.......wonder if he does Skype lessons.

[@not_so_channel]

that was an eyeopener for me :)

[@BEYONDILIMIT]

The options for lead are endless! Just to verify so say we start on 7th fret B note and play the basic home position scale then second position and so on would just go down the neck? And when you get to say the 19th fret and there's no room left for the scale then you begin back with open strings then 1st feet and so on? Thanks and rock on

[@Smudge9494]

Thanks!

[@Groosome128]

Learn the box scale he mentions, and learn all the positions of it, then start sliding around like I'm gonna try more now after watching this video :)

[@DusttwoDust]

It's a Harley Benton ST-20 BK Standard Series, low budget stuff. But I've had some practice and I'm starting to get a feel to it, so it was definitly worth the money and it doesn't feel that cheap really.. And yes of course, I'm totally aware of the advancing-technique and what not, I wouldn't be stupid enough to jump right at a Kirk Hammet solo cause then I wouldn't learn anything. I'm keeping my cool and learning all chords and learn the strings and everything first

[@mikeyun5089]

Great!!

[@luk17032000]

You are FUCKING AWESOME. My playing sounded so sweet after this small lesson. Thank you so much! + 1 sub
