Why Does THIS Simple Scale Pattern Work? ★ Acoustic Tuesday 233

Guitar scales are incredibly important. But they're also a little overwhelming. Why are there so many? Why is it all complicated? Does it have to be?
This episode is all about a acoustic guitar scale that I think simplifies a lot of things. To illustrate this, we'll start by learning a lick in the key of E. I'll continue by illustrating how and why this lick works.
You'll see what the lick teaches about the horizontal scales, how to apply the lick in your playing, and so much more. Think of the lick as the creative launching pad and the lesson behind it as the secret sauce that makes everything work.
The episode is part of a new series called Lesson Behind the Lick. I hope you like this format and find that it helps contextualize the licks. If you enjoy this and want to see more, be sure to leave a comment and let me know!

Tony, loved the new segment. It's very complimentary to tac lesson. Thank you!

[@scoggers1628]

Really cool lesson with plenty to explore in more depth. The way to link open position scales to the same scale further up the neck was a real eye-opener. Looking forward to seeing more like this in the future. Keep up the good work Tony!

Hi Tony. This is great! I'm a TAC member and would appreciate this kind of insight more often in the course.

[@FotoGuyMN]

Love the lesson behind the lick Tony. I’m working on horizontal pentatonics right now. Perfect timing and very well taught. You gave me lots of fun ideas for practicing this 🍻

[@EricQuinn]

Loved this segment…absolutely learning something here. Much more simplistic the. I thought.

[@blessedkingemboss]

Your acoustic class is getting bigger. 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🎸🎸🎸

[@scottbagley9329]

Thanks for the lesson behind the lick. I appreciate it because it because after a TAC lesson I am often left wondering where to take this new lick. From one guitar geek goalie to another, please keep them coming.

[@TinZawCalifornia]

I appreciate the lesson behind the lock and would like to see more of these.

[@texhaines9957]

I liked this segment and it goes well in venues other than blues. Gives me something to doodle with in front of wheel of fortune or news

[@ikeus6857]

Loved this lesson ! Where 2 of my problems that I know of are kinda addressed. inergrating.. just recently started to discover the correlation between the 2 different scales horizontal and vertical. And intergrating/joining together that jumping!! Been looking for that bit! Thanks.. !

Tony, tuesday is my favourite guitar day of the week. The first reason is your acoustic tuesday show. It's always fun to watch and so inspiring. Second reason is the guitar lick challenge. I'm always waiting for this little lick, because all of them are sounding very musical and especially when they have a little bluesy touch, i can't put away my guitar. The third reason is, there are three more days/guitar challenges in that week ! By the way, i have noticed you are wearing a T-shirt from the latest album of JON GOMM. May i see this as a hint for an upcoming Jon Gomm feature ? I would love to watch it. Thanks, Hendrik W. from Germany

[@Patrick-bt1rt]

Cool! Yes to that single string scale segment! How about an in-depth course in manipulating single string and vertical scales - as sort of overall theory rather than practice in individual keys?

[@DaveDiprose]

Bouncing off the open (1) string also when playing the scale enables you to move your hand position to a better position up the neck and use all the fingures apove fret 5

Tony thanks for your weekly Tuesday KZbin I really enjoy it and love listening to it .I have a question for u have u ever reviewed the tone wood amp that attaches to the back of a guitar runs around 250 to 350 just wondering if u feel they are worth the price???

[@bws1billsimpson362]

Great video, thank you. Can you tell me exactly what guitar you are playing at the very start of the video (the sunburst)? It’s beautiful. Also, what is your favorite guitar neck?

[@mattdelahunt301]

This guitar lick reminds of me of thunderstuck.

The Gibson Les Paul is technically Les Paul’s signature guitar making it the world’s most popular artist’s signature guitar

Yes, barnacles do infest whales, usually around their mouths.
