Hello friends,
And welcome back to Swiftlessons for another lead guitar tutorial. Throughout my two decades as a guitarist, it has often been the simplest concepts that have made the biggest difference in my playing. One simple tip that changed everything was to always learn your licks in multiple positions. In this lesson, I’ll be showing you how to play one classic lick in different octaves and positions of the minor pentatonic scale. Let’s get started!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

He is really a great teacher. I watched his learning scales lesson, and it too was fantastic. He explains things, in a: slow, clear, easy-to-digest approach. I subscribed.

[@dmitryvolkov8508]

Excellent guide! It was so easy to understand and to apply. Thanks a million!

[@joshjones3251]

Dude, I'm blown away by how helpful your lessons are. I've used so many different guitar tutorial channels over the years and just found yours recently. Wish I would've known about you when you started posting vids. Your teaching style is so easy to follow and there's a methodology to it that makes sense. Plus the audio and video quality are top-notch, makes it feel like a professional lesson. Thanks!

[@jeffro.]

Hey, Rob! I've always thought learning licks in different positions was a good idea, too! That's why I've always done it. Glad to hear that from a pro like you! I love your outro music, BTW, awesome guitar!

[@jncdidier777]

Thanks for this great lesson, your teaching skill enables you to pass on knowledge and skill so easy 👍

[@DUNPEAL01]

The best guitar instructor on KZbin IMHO... Great work as usual!

[@jwdesqiii]

Put this lesson out again. I've been trying to figure this out on my own. I thank you for this.

[@downhill240]

Great lesson! It is much easier to have someone show this than to try to figure it out yourself! Thanks for sharing.

[@manulotu6353]

How grateful I am to learn about this short cut tricks so to learn picking faster than I had thought of. Thank you dude

[@drutgat2]

That was an excellent lesson - as almost all of yours usually are. Many thanks.

[@annettesomers7463]

I've been doing this lately with arpeggios! Great lesson!

[@lylewilliams1371]

Thank you, Swift! You are THE MAN!!!

[@70snuttodd95]

Wow , this is much needed, big thanks

[@swiftlessons]

Hey Todd, thanks for the comment, so glad this was helpful! Many more are on the way, both here and via Patreon.com/swiftlessons. Let me know if you have any request! -Rob

[@deanmacka4975]

Cool lesson mate I new the extention positions but didn't know what to do with them cool stuff mate thanks for that

[@swiftlessons]

My pleasure Dean, thanks for the positive feedback. I’ll be sure to post a follow up showing licks in different CAGED positions, that’s the next step. Have fun!

[@mikeflight9]

Thanks, Rob. I found that lesson very informative.👍

[@swiftlessons]

So glad mike! Little tips like that go a long way. Have fun with your practice!

[@jonnorris4204]

Yes, I was stuck at the fifth fret. Now I'm not! Subscribed!

[@goodyeoman4534]

That first Am pentatonic run is pretty much the blueprint for the Don't Look Back In Anger solo.

[@dewey6912]

You’re one heck of a teacher ma!

[@swiftlessons]

Thanks Andrew, I really love it! Many more are on the way. Have fun!

[@desy2478]

Useful thanks. I've just about memorised all 5 pentatonic shapes (caged system) but I might just concentrate on these three for now as it can be difficult to remember whilst noodling. Also this has made me realise I need to make up some riffs and record them so I've got something more to work with.

[@torei5935]

This one was very helpful. Thanks a lot. And hey, you sing well too. I have been on your other videos too!

[@RZN69]

GREAT JOB ! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !

[@stanhankins3175]

[@tanishxox]

This was amazing

[@fabiojardim8537]

Very cool man! I will apply. Good Job and Brazilian hugs!!!

[@swiftlessons]

Thanks Fabio! Can’t wait to visit Brazil, I’m obsessed with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and of course the beaches. Definitely tops my travel list. Have fun with your practice!

[@fabiojardim8537]

swiftlessons Kkkkk Nice man. I'm from Rio de Janeiro but, nowadays, i live in Joinville, Santa Catarina. It is a beautiful place to live. Bests regards man! Peace and blues!!!

[@beecheechang4552]

First of all, thank you so much for your tutorials! You the best guitar tutor online !! And secondly, could you please do a tutorial of call me by your name's sound track "mystery of love" in finger picking style? Please?

[@DavidRFIT]

A great example of using the minor pentatonic scales with extension for soloing is the solo on the Past Masters version of Let It Be. George Harrison uses this stuff exactly. Why don't you do a lesson on that? :D (on a side note, the Past Masters solo is way better than the one in the official version).

[@swiftlessons]

Actually I did! I’ll get the link for ya.

[@swiftlessons]

The Beatles "Let It Be" Guitar Solo Lesson kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJO2l6eJYr5sgKc. Great call, this is an excellent example!

[@DavidRFIT]

Damn I missed that! But I was talking about the PAST MASTERS version! Anyway, same principle and great lesson as usual ;) Thanks

[@swiftlessons]

That’s right, I remember that version now, a lot of people do prefer it. I’ll try to make time to break that one down. Thanks David!

[@drutgat2]

I completely agree with you - George's 'Let It Be' solos are excellent examples of this. Just a small note, in terms of accuracy: there were actually (when originally issued) two 'official' versions of the 'Let It Be' solo - one was on the single (45), and the other was the one on the 'Let It Be' album.

[@RBMasih]

Exceeded lesson. Please mention which acoustic guitar, strings and the pick you are using. Your guitar sounds very sweet. Thank you!

[@bah667]

really good lesson!

[@swiftlessons]

Hey Brett, thanks so much! Small adjustments to your practice regimen can make a huge difference. I'll be back later with a follow up tip about using the CAGED system. Be well! -Rob

[@muhammadrohmat2972]

Thanks dude

[@renesalinas8119]

good man. thanks for video

[@didiertarin219]

great and funny, thanks

[@bassshimul1507]

Thanks 💔💓❤

[@martydemille391]

Can you do a lesson on "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" Led Zep?

[@MaRia-fp3lp]

Cool ideas for learning; much appreciated. What strings are you using?

[@fattboyzz1355]

👍👍👍👍👍 great stuff !

[@lurker782]

one tip that changes everything!! learn licks in different positions... but i dont tell you why it actually helps or is useful... nice

[@samhenry472]

Rob, are you using a 1mm pick?

[@zeroceiling]

sounds great.... I have to say that without being a student of music...just wanting to learn some licks....terminology such as resolve..upper extension..lower extension...root note....common position...stacking..running scale...going up a full step.... ....man love how it sounds...totally cannot follow the spoken instructions.....even shoving the fret board to save a few words for us visuals....might be helpful...

[@ak4blizzy]

Cool lesson Rob. Can you do a tutorial of Where Did You Sleep Last Night?

[@biryaniofbodyhair]

_Alastair he's already done one man, does nirvana and his own more lead belly style in the vid

[@ak4blizzy]

salixofthewoods I searched on his channel and I have not found it, could you pass me the link? please

[@biryaniofbodyhair]

[@biryaniofbodyhair]

_Alastair there you go! :)

[@ak4blizzy]

Thank you so much ♡

[@luizmoraes455]

Can I use that same pattern on any key?

[@j.d.leslie8458]

Yes, absolutely if your root note is on the sixth string.

[@jayprakashsir9996]

ll Jay Ho guru sarkar aapka Jay mahakal sarve mangal mangaliye ll dhanyavad sir ji grase full work karate ho

[@paulcrooks4467]

That s the HG position

[@345kobi]

I think this is appropriate for lead guitar but I am not sure.

[@henrithibedore]

Perso

[@raverjoe587]

[@mesolithicman164]

I don't really think this tip lives up to the clickbait title.

[@20alphabet]

Doesn't change EVERYTHING.

[@swiftlessons]

It sure does. This process has expanded my vocabulary across the fretboard, made me much more well rounded and improved my general understanding of the fretboard and how to achieve sounds in a wide variety of musical scenarios. The development of those skills can be applied to virtually everything in music.

[@20alphabet]

You didn't say music only. You said EVERYTHING.

[@Soviless99]

20alphabet context is everything

[@georgechristie9464]

Your a fuckin moron.....

[@20alphabet]

George Christi You have a girl's name. Hey, not that there's anything wrong with men doing disgusting things with other men. I'm not judging, just an observation.

[@firstwave1890]

I had a booble head that looked like him once....

[@swiftlessons]

Haha, a booblehead? I must see this!

[@DryHumpingCows]

Nice lesson but I think you should shave that patchy part on your cheek. It really messes up the rest of your beard.

[@swiftlessons]

Glad you're digging this tutorial. In regards to my beard, I think it's beyond saving... haha!
