Jimmy Herring was my grandmother’s (yes grandmother’s) name. Took it as a sign I needed to be here.

[@DavidBrown-ez5jc]

Love your lessons they really stick i n ones mind and so mofodical thanks for being a pioneer teacher

[@ruthhancock7665]

Kudos on the lesson, obviously… but my favorite part is your Jimmy Herring shirt. I got high with Jimmy outside the Chicago House of Blues when he was doing that “Jazz Is Dead” thing with Billy Cobham, and have been a huge Jimmy fan ever since.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

THAT is an awesome story and I’m totally jealous…thanks for sharing !! 🎸🎶🔥🎶🎸

[@joebutler9850]

Same for me! Not the getting high part, but I saw Jimmy with Jazz is Dead and have been a fan of his since!

[@rickysubie]

​@CharlieLongGuitar I've never played one. How does it compare to a good strat? I have the 1961 American vintage ii. After my niece put a tiny ding on the back, I was kinda relieved. I don't have to be super careful now. I would be extra careful if I had a PRS.

[@EvolutionaryEnergyArts]

Wow! You took me back to school 😇

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

@@EvolutionaryEnergyArts hope it’s helpful!! 🎸🎶🔥

[@jackschijven8219]

Thanks. Is the order of learning: get familiar and proficient in all these elements (pentatonic, triads, major scales, etc) first and then apply this great creative, structured exercise?

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

@@jackschijven8219 actually part of the message here is you don’t have to be overly proficient with the elements…you can make a lot of music with a few triad shapes and a couple of the pentatonic patterns. I’m encouraging people to start being creative sooner and being a little less worried about “proficiency” - that will come with time.

[@jackschijven8219]

I love, nay NEED! to run my nightly scales with an old school Wittner metronome takes about 1-1/2 hours to complete Afterwards it’s running jam tracks as playlists without knowing the key or progression and improvising unless I have studio duties or learning Covers for bands that I’m working with for paying shows Pretty much my life right now ✌🏻

[@TexasBlues-123]

Years ago, I was trying to build speed. After 12 months all I could play was scales. I struggled to do a simple blues solo.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

@@TexasBlues-123 that’s the trap we fall into right?? 🎸🎶🔥🎶🎸

[@TexasBlues-123]

@@CharlieLongGuitar Being able to play fast is great but the best response I've had from an audience was from slow solos that said something.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

@@TexasBlues-123 I love being able to play fast…but any more I use it for effect here and there…and even then I try to play fast MELODIES… thanks for taking time to comment!

[@Alfreds.Romero]

​@@TexasBlues-123 I know People aren't really impressed by how fast they play but more what they say. Music language

[@chaos4316]

I got to 1:28. I’m a good guitarist. I always want to get better. But when it comes to literally any theory it’s like I’m musically dyslexic. I’ve played for 20 years, I cannot focus on what people are telling me when it comes to this stuff. Am I the only one?

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

@@chaos4316 everyone learns differently my friend!! And, if you’re already a good player this lesson is probably stuff you already do. Rock on!! 🎸🎶🔥

[@jmccormick1490]

Get a book on beginner music theory. It's actually very simple stuff, and it will unlock so much more potential for yourself. I have been playing forever as well and finally bought a set of music theory books and feel dumb for not learning this stuff before. Like I said before, it's way more simple than it sounds. Most of the stuff you probably play in some form, but you don't know why it works.

[@arundhar8152]

Sir pl. give note names with fret number and also transition chart

[@RobertBellows-p2u]

❤unfrigen believable I need to sign up Robert b.

[@JohnGriffith-w2w]

Play Blue Bossa play Satin Doll play Autumn Leaves. Now try to play a decent solo that fit with melody and chord changes and stay within the form. Now go back to rock tunes and hear how much better you sound. 🎸😎

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

@@JohnGriffith-w2w right on!!! 🎸🎶🔥

[@davidmacleod9313]

The only reason I do not have a PRS is because of the shape of the headstock. 😊😊😊

Tone is as important as technique.

[@Douglas_I]

I mean to a point, maybe, but what good is tone if you only know how to play at a beginner level?
