How To Get BETTER AT PLAYING GUITAR SOLOS

[@Gloomshimmer]

Why has this guy only 69k subs? Whats wrong with youtube? All of his vids are helpful and on a good level. Not "Easy unlock to your solo play for beginners" and then a mastergrade lesson in 20 harmonics and sweep picking like others.... Thumbs up Rusty. Proceed. First guy i would buy a course from.

[@rustysguitar1]

It’s exciting to see players start to improvise. Thanks a lot for checking out the lesson! Enjoy your Sunday.🙏

[@lrparrish227]

I began learning guitar when I was a teenager, long before the internet, video and DVD's etc, just books and listening to records to work out the chords of songs, then I got married, sold all my gear and didn't touch a guitar for a very long time, now I have bought some guitars and an amp, loving picking it up again and your video's are very encouraging, thanks.

[@rustysguitar1]

So glad you are playing again! And I hope you can take away ideas from the videos for sure! I’m 60 now, I put the guitar away for about 15 years myself! I just try to learn a little something every day! Life is busy but I’d love to pick up the guitar like you do! Have an awesome weekend talk to you soon✌️

[@leonardwilson980]

I just happened to run across your videos. Just a little background. I'm a 64 year old country fellow. I'm not a lead player. Before my hearing got so bad (in the last 10 years). I was a decent country / rockabilly bass player for dances around my area and we also played the animal clubs (eagles, moose's, elks) and VFW's. I like what and the way your are teaching. If I had run across your lessons 30 years ago I might have been a lead player instead of a bass thumper. I still play, but I'm not try to get to be a super lead player. I like the way you explain what your are doing as you are playing. Your not to loud, you have a good mix on your sound (guitar, backing track on the looper and your voice) . You have just gained another subscriber.

[@rustysguitar1]

Glad to have you aboard William! I appreciate the positive feedback! I’m sure we like the same classic songs from back in the day! Thanks and enjoy your Sunday 🙏

Long time beginner. Just as I feel myself . Since the 70's I always dreamed to play guitat. I finnaly bought my baby four years ago. At my 66 years old and now retired . Finally could enjoy my dream. And I own you everything the new way to play .It seems so simple, the way you teach the tecniques . Thks a lot Rusty.

I’m glad you’re having fun with your guitar 🎸 More inspiration to come! Thanks Reginaldo 👌

[@MrTomengle]

Rusty after many many years of off and on trying to play the guitar I have recently retired and actually have time each day to dedicate to it. At 70 Im not so sure I can get my fingers to work too fast but Im going to give it a try. Glad I found your channel. I see the young guys shredding and thats not for me anymore.....

[@daliborzak2485]

I'm exactly in this phase of learning, trying to explore more of the fretboard. I don't fancy just copying others work and I rather progress and find the way on my own. Sometimes it's just useless noodling and crap, but sometimes I hit the right notes and it starts to sound nice and melodic. It gives me great piece of satisfaction and will to continue.

[@JohnGSchuur]

There are 5 positions of the pentatonic , plus you can play everything one octave up past the 12th fret .. with a good ear you can play and extend the first position higher upon the neck . Triads are also a good help to climb fast , but yes you have to play it with feel so that means dressing the notes up with slides and bends ... you did great here in this tutorial connecting everything... see Angus Young still plays pentatonic .. so it doesn’t have to be that complicated , just play it with passion feel and dedication , for rock n roll the right attitude is very important

[@rustysguitar1]

You are right John, really need to play with attitude and confidence! A few notes go along way if you do that! I appreciate the comment and enjoy your Sunday🙏

I like the way you travel up and down from string to string ! I’ve developed a bad way of changing strings that I’ve been doing since I was a kid! It sounds wrong! The way your doing it sounds how it should! I think that’s one of the tricks to playing is how we move from string to string not necessarily chromatic just laterally! Side to side feels natural but Lateral is awkward! I’ve got bad habits moving Laterally from string to string especially when I try going fast!

Rusty, First thanks for all of helpful videos you put out. When you use the pentatonic boxes 1-5 is there certain boxes you use more then other. Find when using box 2 and 5, I’m using just the GBE strings. Where box 1 3 5 I tend to use the whole box for licks. Thanks for any tips Bob

[@rustysguitar1]

You are using them in a Good Way,, Bob! I do the same thing. Just use part of the scale. You don’t need to use the whole scale using two or three strings at a time it’s easier to climb up each position! Glad you are moving forward! Thanks for all your support Bob👍

I have trouble hearing the chord change in time to hit the right notes in the solo.

[@rustysguitar1]

A great way to practice that is to solo over one chord like we did in the video. Just target the notes in that one chord and try to target them inside the pentatonic scale. It’s so hard to hear the chord changes into follow them! I have to work at it myself all the time! There is one chord backing tracks on KZbin that might help. Keep working at it buddy!

Yes, it is the Bible! I read every morning in my studio. I’m really glad you noticed! Blessings, my friend.🙏

So I've been playing this extension for so long in the same old boring way. Then you just made it sound so much more musical then I ever have. Got a free metronome on my phone, so going to find a speed I feel comfortable with and go for it. Why do some guitar players hate using a metronome? Makes no sense to me, if it helps.

[@rustysguitar1]

Yes, I’ve been using that extension for many years and love it. Also use the metronome quite often. So if you keep working with those tools you will really be moving forward. Thanks again Matt for checking out my lessons and all your support.👍

Так все таки в чем заключается вертикальный способ и чем детально он отличается от горизонтального. Желательно бы чтобы были табы и можно было бы осознать суть вопроса и понять эти методы на разных примерах в разных тональностях

Thanks for watching👍

Hey Rusty do you (or anyone here) have suggestions for backing tracks we should use for this????

[@rustysguitar1]

Hey Gregory! This A minor extended pentatonic scale will work over, almost any A minor or A blues, backing track. Check it out and let me know how it goes for you. Talk to you soon buddy.👍

Bought a cheap red strat copy 45 years ago when I was 15. Hadn’t a clue, tried playing ‘James Bond’ theme on top string (badly). The world didn’t come knocking at my door or fall at my feet. Hand painted the poor little guitar black and then in a fit of complete teenage idiocy and hubris tried to refret the damn thing. I think it probably ended up in the bin. A year later another cheap, no name guitar bought from Traffords catalogue. This time a couple of library books on chords and a few Chappell music chord books (the Thin Lizzy one was particularly disappointing in those pre ‘tab’ days). But in my head I was well on my way to being on stage with Jimmy Page.. (Ah, to be a 16 year old knobhead again). My passion and unrealistic expectations took a bit of a hammering after going to see Rory Gallagher, AC/DC and some supremely talented local bands in quick succession. Left school, got a job and life went on, dreams of stardom forgotten. Borrowed an acoustic off a mate in my late twenties and actually taught myself a few songs, hung out with a few local musicians and occasionally sat in on sessions strumming along and eventually switching to bass guitar. God bless you Eric Clapton Unplugged, Best of Van Morrison and The Eagles Greatist Hits. Motto of all this rambling? Music and guitar are life long loves, you are never too old to learn and progress. Advice to my younger self? Learn the basic chords (and lyrics of a song) before trying to play the guitar behind your head or with your teeth. Less noodling and daydreaming, rather have small bite size achieveable goals - also, have fun! Love your channel Rusty and what you are kindly sharing. Could have done with such a teacher many years ago. By the way I can hear bits of David Gilmour type lead in your playing - obviously I mean this as a compliment! Cheer’s and keep up the good work. Glad to have discovered your channel.

Many words of wisdom here! We have the same guitar hero’s! Yes we need a good foundation before we play a big rock concert ✌️ I appreciate the support and the comment buddy! Thank you 👍

[@Kennethswoodcarvings]
