START LEARNING Lead Guitar Fills START HERE!!!

Todays lesson is a great way to start learning lead guitar fills. These lead guitar fills are movable around the fretboard. This is a good starting point to create your own lead and rhythm guitar fills. This is a Intermediate guitar Lesson, but definitely a beginner will get something from this guitar lesson. We will use the G major pentatonic for the structure of these lead guitar fills. Early on I always wanted to improvise guitar all over the fretboard. And this is a great starting place to do that. By the end of this guitar lesson video, you will have more confidence to play up-and-down the guitar fretboard.

1 minute in I stopped the video, looked at the major diagram and got a major breakthrough. An hour later now and I am starting to make progress on a l phrase in major that I have been playing in minor for a couple years. Not really mixing major and minor but its on the horizon finally. Thank you once again for sharing your experience knowledge and passion for those of us trying to make music! At beginer level, most of your content is above my skill and knowledge levels. I am still learning from your lessons. Have a GREAT day and weekend ahead! BEST AND PEACE

[@craigwiggins9834]

Your lessons are awesome Rusty, thanks so much! What would really be helpful, at least for me, would be if you’d show what your right hand is doing. Hybrid picking or just straight up-down, etc. Thanks again, Rusty!!

[@rustysguitar1]

Hey Craig, thanks for watching my lessons! You’re right, I need to explain more right hand technique. And also have a better camera angle for showing it. Thanks so much for your feedback! Have a great weekend.😎

@@rustysguitar1 I always do Rusty! Even if I'm really familiar with the content and concept of one of your lessons. It's always good to repeat these basics. I also did repeat every so basic part of Jeff McErlain's Rhythm course, just in case I've missed something and even if I haven't, just focusing on the very basics again is worth it to become a better player. Cheers, Martin

Still wish you would tab this out at least on the screen. It's great stuff but I don't have all the time in the world and a tab would help. I know everyone else here will say you learn more effectively without tab, but as a special education teacher I can say that simply is not true. Anyway, thanks for all you do.

Hey Rusty, thanks so much for all your advises. I keep following you, try to help you to continue and today I got a special request. Within my means. Exceptionally, I'd like to ask your advice on a guitar set that's very dear to me (and I'm ok to pay you for your efforts, of course). I'm talking about Mick Green's distinctive playing with Johnny Kid. For example, this track: is This Golden ring » but it could be another song where Mick shows his special art of playing guitar. If you’re interested by this project let me know. Best regards Ristobop from France

[@rustysguitar1]

Thanks for watching my videos! I will check out those players! Have a good weekend 👍

[@1termt12uml7]

[@gonicjon]

I do love your videos and persona...but I'm a little confused.... i do see the same thing in one of my charts i have here.... but.. . At the 1 minute mark you give a chart for G major pentatonic and there is degree #2 being shown and there is no degree #2 in pentatonic .....the 4th is missing, it seem the degrees arent adding up... need help understanding.... because it is the same as this form #2 on my chart here but i don't get it

[@rustysguitar1]

The diagram I had up was the G major pentatonic. Just make sure you’re not confusing it with the G minor pentatonic. Thanks a lot for watching and have a great Sunday.🙏

[@user-gj5jo9gj6y]

how do you get these tones that are so nice

[@rustysguitar1]

I’m using the Revv G 20 amp set clean and driving it with the Revv tilt overdrive pedal. Also, some reverb from the Strymon BigSky. That’s going directly into my interface. I love using tube amps, and this is the closest direct to band I’ve ever heard. Thanks for checking out the video.👍

Good morning, This may well be the stupid guitar question of all time, certainly of the day. Are all the notes on the g string included in the G major and or minor scales? Follow up question, is it the same for all the other strings? Thank you in advance for your response. BEST AND PEACE
