Shred Pentatonics like Eric Johnson and Joe Bonamassa

[@jetset9561]

Love how the LP makes an appearance again after the last video

[@zilladakid]

I know nothing about guitars at all but I come here every other day to listen to this 😅

[@david71991]

The pick slanting element of these kind of licks is huge glad to see you mentioned it!

[@rocknrollkitchen]

beautiful thank. you

[@vayabroder729]

Absolutely; Joe got his inspiration for tone and licks from Eric.

[@philipbeasley72]

This is probably one or won of the best licks I've learned or groupings I've learned. Thanks

[@DrProgNerd]

Great video. It's so important to get away from the vertical pentatonic box playing. Guthrie has spoken about this. I love finding new ways to connect the 'box positions' horizontially. It has really opened up my playing. I have my marching-orders for the next few days. I'm going to enjoy this. Thank you, sir.

[@margix1172]

Eric Johnson one of the best guitar player of all times and he can also sing!

[@TheMeJustMe75]

Ben Eller performs locally. I've been meaning to go to his shows but just haven't had the time. I didn't realize he was local until a couple months ago. He's a fantastic guitar player and explains things simply.

[@lightningstrikes7314]

The pickslanting you mention is the key for 2nps: I also find angling the pick diagonally 45+ degrees so my thumb is almost parallel to the pickups doubles speed for me. However, everyone's will differ according to physiognomy, setup, handsome etc.

[@Mrguitarcovers]

Get that from Troy Grady?

[@Jasper_155]

Hi mate. Avud fan here. Sending love from the Philippines.

[@robertkennedy5753]

Your guitar playing and lessons are super inspiring. I love your down to earth approach to all of this, you sound fantastic, thanks!

[@DonSyndrome]

So smooth! Great tone!

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

There’s brilliance in your playing. 🤙🏼

[@user-sn3cs2hd8r]

That is a beautiful LP bro

[@JohnWahlers]

One of the coolest pentatonic lessons I have found on KZbin-heading for your Patreon page

[@grilledcheese1318]

gawdang ur intro music is always incredible

[@thatmidlifevlogger4463]

Great great great!!!!!! ❤ Could you also maybe zoom in on your “picking technique”

[@wstn7938]

Your playing is incredible. I love your style!

[@ToneJunkieTV]

Been working the exercises from this video the latest couple of days. Great video, I love these types of long pentatonic runs. Great Work!

[@johnnathancordy]

I still can't play it!

[@ToneJunkieTV]

@@johnnathancordy 😂, I’m not even close!

[@ttexas1963]

Your Princeton Rev., Deluxe Rev. and Purple Plexi Tonex captures are amazing.

[@josephdow5428]

Your playing is like flying over a beautiful landscape. Ok. That's it, I'm getting back into guitar again. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@barukpj6020]

I love this guitar...

[@tonygonzalez958]

great video again. Love the lessons/lick tutorials thanks

[@GuillermoSmyser]

Hopefully Andy Wood has seen this and the part where they casually list his name among legends. "...which is kinda Eric Johnson, Joe Bonamassa, Andy Wood inspired" and yeah I think that's accurate and Andy absolutely deserves to be listed among Eric and Joe.

[@stevelamm2366]

Thanks John. Just spent a couple of hours on this! Need to get this up to speed.

[@thorpenator9148]

Wow. What a killer lesson. Thanks you for your time.

[@nikolasmatviko4700]

Your playing is sick man. Loving the Les Paul too!

[@ranepoppa6654]

Instead of hitting the ‘F’ note on the 13th fret of the first string, you could hit it on the 18th fret of the second string. Awesome run!

[@RobertJSedky]

Excellent lesson and BT Thanks JC!

[@1jennifer]

Awesome John, thanks, keeping me busy 👌🏻

[@dtwenty5114]

Crazy good from Canada thx

[@stuartmccallum91]

Dude you’re a legend! Thanks so much!

[@claytonphelps9911]

excellent lesson, well layed out for us less advanced. Thanks You sir John

[@jacksonrepetskimusic]

That intro😍

[@fishy4071]

Useful content, well presented. I set aside at least an hour a day for technical practice. These videos are perfect exercises for this.

[@karthain5742]

Excellent video!

[@langsfordmusicltd283]

great tone... killer chops...whats not to love? Subbed.

[@jessehacker512]

Thanks

[@darthj_der7447]

I love it when brittish ppl say Joe Bonamassa! 😆 terrific

[@sacredgeometry]

That intro sounded great. Certainly going to nab some of those phrases.

[@mikejones-hs7od]

Great lesson!

[@SouvikRoyChowdhury]

try to make some joe bonamassa lead tones on HX stomp... would love to see a video on that

[@picksalot1]

Beautiful sounding Pentatonic 2NPS Workout! Not easy to get those up to EJ speed. Have you heard the "Glossary" Preset? I think it's the beautiful Preset for worship/ambient style chord I've heard in Line 6 Helix. It has a Reverse Delay Block, and a Reverb Block called "Plateau" that add octaves and other things that make it sound spectacularly ethereal on slow, open voice 3-note chords. I think it deserves its own video, if you haven't already made one. Turning the Reverse Reverb Mix Parameter is also a beautiful sound. Thanks

[@MrOscyn]

Awesome!

[@masterbuilder3166]

Sweet 👍🎸

[@fernandoj9537]

WTF! Amazing intro! By the way yes it’s getting so cold that the fretboard of my guitar is making some notes to sound bad 😢. Thanks so for the lesson.

[@billmurrell2576]

Love your videos! Might I humbly suggest a picking pattern of 'up-down-up-down-down-up' for the 6 note phrases...might be faster!

[@stevelamm2366]

There a name for this that escape me. Economy picking or something like that? Do you do the same thing in reverse on the descending runs?

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

I do that but with 5 note patterns. Ascending is down up down up up. The first 4 notes are ascending. The 5th is descending. Then it goes back up again another 5 notes. Descending is down up down up up. Again, the 5th note is hit with an upstroke. I think Eric Johnson does the opposite. When he does 5 note patterns, he always hits the 4th and 5th notes with a down stroke. For 6 note patterns or even numbered patterns, he alternate picks. Find what works for you.

[@kagehughart1498]

Killer but that’s definitely not Johnson or Bonamassa style😂

[@javiceres]

I wonder how long does it take to gain speed. If it takes days, weeks or months...

[@abrahammonroy3439]

How do you achieve such magmatic tone!????

[@rabbamonkey]

Lush lesson - I mean, the last part has driven me mental, but making progress...!

[@coolwaterdvr]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@danielalonso9460]

Can You please tell me how to get that distorsión? With any pedal nobody teaches how to acomplish a tone or get closer . I want that distorsión or similar

[@YngtchieMusic]

Sounds like a fuzz to me, likely a silicon Fuzz Face or similar, over an already driven amplifier model.

[@christopherduvall7094]

You can get fairly close to that with any Dumble or rat style OD, those are two very different sounds but will do similar gainy things

[@skipneumann1]

I found out I don’t know some of my keys as I tried to move this idea around

[@andrewsmall4865]

Which LP model is this? It's stunning.

[@rowdy3837]

You said that the hard part was getting your 2nd finger under your 1st on 13th fret. Why not just bar it with your first finger? Then you’re not trying to squeeze under there.

[@JasonMarco]

As always…great lesson. Thanks. I’m interested, how are you making your backing tracks?

[@chinchillax1483]

He made a video about how he makes his videos. I think it mentions his backing tracks there if you search for it

[@gavinbrinck]

video on picking ?

[@CovaSKT]

what's the patch for this tone? I'm assuming it's in the folder already, but if not it definitely should be

[@DanielDavis730]

But there no feelings with these 5 star riffs unlike jeff healey gary moore. None what's so ever

[@GDT1124]

Joe Bonamassa is the "WallStreetBets" of guitar players. Just leave it at Eric Johnson.

[@huangzack1113]

too much words

[@MrCalenture]

FUCKING STELLER!!!!!

[@noob9103]

dont jump all over the place, get to the point man. just go 3:30
