Learn This Simple Speed Hack For Faster Licks!

After teaching people who want to learn fast pentatonic licks, I've noticed many don't know about this easy hack to help you play licks more fluently at a high speed.

[@stephenbalenger]

I have been playing for over 50 years, I am a pretty good blues player but I never took lessons and never worked on speed at all. This is really good, and you are fantastic. Thank You, young man.

Dieses Video hat mir dir Augen geöffnet, Respekt vor deiner Arbeit. Sehr anschaulich erklärt und vor allem ohne 10 Minuten unnötigem Gequatsche.

What a lovely guy . Calm humble instructor

[@nicholashilken1345]

I've struggled with that lick, a variation is in VHs Panama. I could never make it sound right. Solution, "Hammer on from nowhere". Genius. Many thanks for sharing. No one else that I've seen has covered this, and believe me, I've been looking!

[@RikJSmith]

These Licks and your explanations are Gold !! Thanks Dan !! Hope you're doing well and staying safe .

[@steverobinson7040]

I’ve been playing for years trying to get my speed up and never had lessons after a few minutes I’m flying thanks to you !! I’ve subscribed now and look forward to more great lessons thanks again.

[@julianschulz1620]

That first one is the classic John Sykes repeating lick in Thin Lizzy's "Cold Sweat."

[@Jinjer13]

old guitar man is happy right now........!!!!! lovely greetings from germany

[@BrunoKrnetic]

You are literally cracking the code for someone getting into really fast phrasing. Thanks a thon!

[@johnladd5016]

Great stuff, will practice these. Thank you

[@reneotten7376]

Awesome, thank you ❤️

[@hellion5039]

Good stuff man, for 2nd lick i find it easier to pick b string than h/o because i dont have to string skip but each to their own, shows you everyone has their own approach.

[@sumika80]

I enjoy your analytical approach. Learned something new! Thank you.

[@kojam1]

Great lesson!

[@Peter-sk5vg]

Cute licks. Great. Thanks Dan

[@user-ez4dx5so8l]

Your a great guy. Thanks for sharing this with an old geezer like me. Playing since 85, and still learning. Wish you the best - From Israel.

[@JohnnyBargeldBoom]

Awesome lesson as always. My new favorite KZbinr!!

[@billdowney1487]

GREAT LESSON

[@gabrielshelwood3072]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@MrClydie_Po_Po]

Cool! Cheers mate. Beginner here and this helps ❤

[@dtmateo]

Thank you

[@Lam.C.U]

Really love all of your lesson. It is very useful and some confuse me over a year. I wanna ask you 91 live version of still got the blues and the very last fast lick of the loner. Merry Christmas🎉

[@danreid6712]

Thanx for the last lick !

[@richardnja]

thank you

[@GeorgeRamrod]

Very nice and helpful lesson! Tha k you! Just to note here that we need a good amount of distortion for hamer-on from nowhere to sound good :)

[@LittleRapGuy]

Good tips....

[@sonny6string822]

I like how you use a flat fifth in the first lick, not many players remember the flat five to add some extra voicing, kudos to you, sir.

[@9ineToe]

slick trick!

[@MostlyBlue]

Hell yes. I’ve been playing for 50 years and I’ve always been super slow. This will help. I’ll still be slow, but not as slow. You are really good.

[@Dougs-Ear-Hole-Entertainment]

Thanks

[@Cameron-ue7lu]

Ah! Hacktastic dude. Thankee.

[@MrMalq]

Thank you so so so so much for this I have been struggling for years to Trau and get this down and could never work it out. Can not wait to get stuck into learning this. (Does not help as i am a left handed person who play right handed guitar.

[@PhilipMurrayDesign]

Brilliant lesson Dan. Would you have more repeating licks using the hammer on from no where technique? Maybe ones that move up and down the neck too? Thanks!

[@DanCampbellGuitar]

Yes I have some more that I will upload in a new video. Patterns that go up and down pentatonic/blues scale. And then expanding that to some ideas that go all of the way down the neck.

[@andrewbroughton65]

Check out Eddie's 'Hot for Teacher' solo ..sounds like He's doing that same lick way before the 'Balance' album.Loving Your vids btw.Keep it up.

[@Ejreklam]

Great stuff!

[@balderfanini]

This channel should be massive

[@benjaminaxselholm]

Interesting. I think Dimebag Darell (an EVH freak)used this technique frequently because Ive never been able to get up to his speed when Im sure Im hitting the right notes. Going to practice this. Thanks

[@sooparticular]

awesome what are u using? guitar amps and effects?? hi from nyc!!! subbed

[@jluismanzosamperio3306]

hi friend, thanks for your video and information, I can see that your Epiphone Les Paul version is identical to mine, do you know what year, price or how can I get it, because Ive buy it yesterday on line to a other user and got no information about, do you think by serial number can I get all information about?, I cant see by your tuner the epiphone logo but in my guitar are an abalone or another similar shell inlay , grover tuners and no decals, well hope you can help me, regards

[@DeadShred9]

Your Tone is so bluesy so it's throwing me off from my Shred runs ? I would like to add this since it's fun & easy !!!

[@nickgreen4731]

Funny thing, I discovered this myself by accident when trying to learn a fast solo by someone or other. It dawned on me that they physically couldn't be picking that fast, so I pondered what else they might be doing.

[@JasperJames0912]

you need to make a lesson plan man! youre a great teacher

[@prowlman]

Perfect cliche' lick tutorial!

[@thud1015]

Nice video dude, the licks you played are far more Ace Frehley than Eddie though .

[@RotterStudios]

great lesson! subbed

[@zedhex]

Hammer on from nowhere is faster only if you are physically able to hammer on that fast. I can't - and I get tendinitis in my elbow/forearm if I try to practice it.

[@daveduffy2823]

Could you try a lighter string gauge?

[@rockandrollmd541]

You forgot that you have a pinky finger 😉

[@jhanolaer8286]

i think gary moore use like this?

[@rosco1pug]

and Clapton before him I reckon ..

[@user-ez4dx5so8l]

Creat a mechanism which mark enemy gear, Helicopters, tanks, aircraft etc. That will distance any unfortunate error - From Israel..

[@williamapolinar1018]

You sound great. If you want to hear all your "licks" listen to Michael shenkar . Eddie stole a lot of his licks. Peace .

[@knightfall9394]

Dont hear any schenker in ed at all, ed doesnt play pentatonic stuff like mike or lean heavily on aeolian like him at all. Only guy i can think of that ed took something from lick wise is clapton because there’s a live cream era lick from im so glad ed references and mutates in a lot of vh songs

[@williamapolinar1018]

@@knightfall9394 you've obviously never studied Eddie. His early interviews he said he got the "wah tone " from Michael. I met Michael and Eddie ,Eddie told me he loved Michaels tone . I'm 63 and seen a lot of great shows . No problem. Peace.

[@knightfall9394]

⁠​⁠@@williamapolinar1018lol ive been playing guitar for over 22 yrs and own albums by both eddie & michael, and ive read quite a few interviews with ed and nowhere does he name drop michael or talk about getting the “wah tone” from him. Ed didnt start using a wah till the early 90s and he never used it like michael did

[@squirelova1815]

This is like a "Cheetos" guitar lesson and who doesn't like some Cheetos in the mix? Organic preferably, of course.

[@mark-vl8xg]

Try telling that to the Communists who are running the show.
