Thanks for another amazing video rusty. Its finally November and I'm really excited and looking forward for the teaching your gonna start this month. I'm very interested no matter the cost because out of everyone on KZfaq you are my go to teacher now. I've learned alot from you these past 6 months and cant wait for more. Let me know how I sign up or how or when your starting this cause I cant wait

I owned various guitars at various times throughout the last 50 years. I never practiced, never knew what to practice and never did anything consistently with them. Thusly although I dreamed of playing the guitar well, I never advanced beyond the level of basic beginner. This video has done more for my playing growth and development than anything I’ve tried over the last 50 years. Now that I’m retired with not as much to do, you and this video have given me a great gift of hope. I can’t thank you enough.

Wish I knew a bloke like you growing up to teach me guitar. You're a very passionate and patient teacher. Well done and thanks

I’m so glad I found your channel. Hands down, one of the best out there. Each video I end up watching over and over again. Thank you for your time.

Simple but very effective. Thanks Rusty for the lesson!

Another excellent lesson. Being able to go up and down the neck in a key, knowing the intervals, and how to add some character is so important. For me, it's the basis of creating art, instead of just playing.

What an amazingly informative and “MUSICAL” lesson! So many lessons just plod up and down the scales, here we are actually playing music! Thanks Rusty!

Your lessons are really helping me , understanding the fretboard. Also your teaching on soloing up and down the neck is so much easier to understand. It’s making more sense to me. Thanks Rusty.

I will apply this technique in bass. Practice really makes perfect. Have a great time Rusty.

Rusty what an amazing explanation on how to see 'into' the pentatonic scale and make musical sense of it. I am just starting to learn these scales and I feel so fortunate that I came across this lesson as you have provided me clear direction and intentionality in my learning. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!

I love the way you teach, it's like talking to a friend

Hi Rusty watching this amazing toturial, always admire how you showed us to play, wishing you all the best and see you again 😀💯

Definitely a great habit to get into doing every day in the most effective way. Thanks for sharing that with all of us Rusty. A big help. Big like my friend.

Thanks so much for sharing. Can’t wait to practice this concept.

Very wonderful and worthy exercise Rusty! Thank you so much my friend!

Wow- this is actually a standalone composition - love it!

Great lesson Rusty. Pure gold. Thanks.

Rusty.......thank you for the follow up. You are one of the best teachers, simple to understand and to the point. Thank you!

Awesome lesson and playing Rusty! 👍🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

These lessons are gold! Thanks Rusty!

Great lesson Rusty! Short and to the point. I always appreciate a simple exercise that helps us break out of those receptive pentatonic riffs.

As a novice I am really trying to put notes together as well as wanting to focus on country blues. THIS WILL GET ME THERE! Thank you 🙏

Whoa. What a guitar lesson. I've watched hunderds of those in eleven years of my guitar journey and this is top notch! Maybe my arpeggio playing will finally start to flow now.

Fantastic and motivational tutorial to help people play better guitar , as always a great lesson Rusty , well done my friend 🎸🎸👏👏🙏🏻

i love how you break the cords down step by step slow so we can see exactly what your doing i have been on alot of channels and never got the comfort of actually learning anything .........this is this best on youtube ..............THE BEST !!!!

Man I discovered your channel yesterday and it's sooooo good mate.all very practical with good concepts behind it. You're saving me from the hell of noodling !! Love from Australia

Rusty thank you brother!! I’ve been putting in so much work on my scales up and down the neck and found myself playing one position and jumping to the next. I have been watching a bunch of your lessons and you have opened my eyes to flowing through these positions in a more horizontal way and focusing on the 1 3 and 5’s. You’ve simplified all this jumble of knowledge I’ve had in my head and made guitar way more fun for me. Thank you!!

I think we all needed this lesson early on. Good stuff Rusty.

Great lesson and I love the way you present these concepts!! Lovely strat and tone as well

Like all good guitar players, you make it look and sound so easy. Great lesson cheers Rusty

Thank you for the lesson Rusty! Found some of the embellishments challenging to do but the chord tone runs were very helpful. Lots of golden nuggets to practice. Also your guitar tone sounds sweet as well. Thanks again!

Rusty this is so awesome! I love playing blues! Started years ago playing bass -cannot wait to play this. I’m feeling a little credence in your riffs here! Keep’em coming!!🎸🎸

Another amazing stellar lesson from you Rusty...........I'm using your tutorials everyday and I said to myself I wouldent expect to sound any good at a for at least 9 months to a year............but already in a few weeks I'm sounding so much better melodic and musical..........I really can't wait to hear how I do sound in a year .........thats not me being big headed by the way thats just confidence I've gained from chord tone soloing using your lessons.........a big thank you again Rusty...............Paul from Ireland

Just started watching but already have liked this technique. Thanks Rusty

Man I needed this I've been playing the drums since I was 12 I'm 53 now. I picked up the guitar a couple years ago. Once I got to the intermediate level I could run a little. But didn't know where to run to. And sometimes having to much info on the web can be overwhelming. Every now and then a musician will show up that really knows how to explain needed techniques. Thanks for your time. I had to subscribe.

Thanks, guitar Dad! This is really awesome. I too did the pentatonic scale and chord tone targeting with spotty results. I look forward to using this technique. I can see it is going to be an eye opener!

I love the way he was moving up and down on the guitar man I'm star doing that every day

I am still on last video.......great stuff your teaching.,and I'm never to good to learn so thank you.......keep reading that awsome book in background......😃👍

Thank you Rusty- you rock! I’m 69 and been playing guitar for many years… you simplify great ideas that have helped me be a better player!🎸

I’m really enjoying your videos, Rusty. Please keep ‘em coming. So glad I subscribed.

Rusty, excellent job explaining the how too’s of playing. Thanks, glad I came across your videos.

Great exercise! Seeing the inversions over the pentatonic boxes is something I've been working on. This is a melodic way to accomplish that. And it makes me "see" the notes in the double-stops instead of just memorizing the patterns.

Great lesson. I like your musicality. You play nice and not only that you share great things. You’re helping me and so many others should like we always knew we could. You’re the best. Thanks man. From my heart.

I stumbled across this video and I’m so pleased I did. Now looking forward to watching your other videos. Thanks again Bruce

Hey Rusty, i love your teaching style. Same age but nowhete as good. Your lessons will help me to close the gap :) Thanks for the enthusiasm and time you put in. Keeping it real and making a difference man! 👍

Thanks. Yes I aimlessly play the scales and this puts it all together. Will def start doing this.

This technique is just my speed. Already having a lot of fun with it! Thanks!

What a revelation! Thanks so much!!

Very cool lesson, knowing the pieces you can just string together like that makes a lot of sense. Appreciate it!

I learn't this years ago by ear but great to be teaching and saving years off what I did to the up and coming guitarists. Also great to hear someone teaching who doesn't use a ton of distortion and reverb etc. Nice and clear sound. tks man

Awesome lesson Rusty! I've never seen anyone explain the use of major chord notes as well as you have! Looking forward to more.

Fantastic guitar performance. Great job my friend.

I LOVE that Strat you’re playing. The shiny new ones are nice but yours has history. The stories it could tell.

I am an intermediate guitar player and this is exactly what i need. This is easy to understand I just have to practice putting everything together. Amazing. I love love your tone! I subbed you!

Man this has already opened a new door for me I've been on this for while I play this a lot but didn't know how to explain myself thank you sir. 2thumbs up

I love your tutorials, thank you so much Rusty!!

I stumbled upon your channel yesterday. I'm watching just my second video today, but preliminary indications are ... this is a gold mine. Thank you very much for putting these videos together. I can tell already that they're going to be helpful. I've considered myself a frustrated beginner for about 50 years. I like your style of instruction.

Awesome video. When I took lessons in junior high he just showed me pentatonic scales and that was it. This would have helped me immensely! You explain a complicated process in a understandable way that would have helped me connect the dots!

Yet another gem Rusty. So grateful for this..❤ brother.

Rusty this is really helpful. I'm transitioning from playing random Pentatonic to targeting my notes and this lesson is super informative. Many thanks 👍

Wow, stumbled across your channel and very impressed with these lessons. You really have a knack for delivering the goods in a way that's totally approachable and very potent. Keep up the good work!

I've been watching guitar videos for years can't believe i just ran across yours and i must say they are awesome!

All right - that was fun! Advanced beginner here 😊. This connected some dots for me. Has really given me a boost and productive way to spend some guitar time. Thanks!

I have been practicing this guitar thing for decades. Took me about 50 odd years to start seeing the relationship found between chords and the notes found within them. I am thrilled with one more little step I've taken in my journey But an added gift...I figured it out all by myself. Videos such as this one confirms what my brain finally allowed me to see and hear. Love music with all my soul. Thank you so very much. God bless.

Great lesson here buddy, your touch and strat tone is immaculate! Cheers from Austria!

This is the first time I have seen your channel. I learned more in this one video, then I have in a whole bunch of other channels. Thanks. I’m subscribing 😊

Thanks rusty that’s a great little move my man very much appreciated I only found your channel recently great stuff !! Thanks Brian from Ireland 🇮🇪

Thanks, exactly what I needed ! Great lesson.

Thank you so much Rusty!!!!!! I needed this!!!!

I landed on this video by chance and so pleased I did! I have played acoustic fingerstyle for years but always by rote learning from tablature. Always wanted to use my electric guitars to be able to create some tastful solos but I too was stuck in playing pentatonic scales in 5 positions and never managed to sound other than playing the scales. I play piano and read music etc understanding what you have shown in this super video delivered in a very understandable way. Thanks for all your videos which I have now noted following subscription to your channel. Really helpful.

sounds great and thank you for insight,! However as basic chord player who can play easy rock songs I have no idea what you are talking about 😢 You could be talking Chinese for all I know. 😅

Rusty thank you so much for this video You are a wonderful man 🙏🥰❤️

You are an excellent teacher... it sounds soooo.... good! ❤🙏

Hi Rusty, I just stumbled across your lessons. I really like em. Keep up the great work. It’s really helping me.

I will learn this lesson, it's an essential... Thank you sir for sharing this 🙏🏻🎸

I have to say thank you so much for explaining this awesome technique. It has already helped my phrasing so much.. You are a savior! 🎸💯🎶

Wow!!! I love it!!! Thank you Rusty!!

wowww...i love it Sir! Thanks for sharing. Sending full support 🥰

wow! How cool. Looking forward to this. Thanks for sharing

You have earned my sub today man. Thank you. You would think this would happen naturally as you go. But this was made so simple and made so much sense damn man once again thank you.

Excellent Rusty !!!

I'm going to fully dissect this lesson later today. This is great info. Thank you

Great advice as always Rusty👍👍🎸🎸

Great tutorial! Well explained and shown! Greetings from Elly 🎸🎸🎸

I've dabbled playing for years, but haven't put the time in because a lot of lessons aren't fun. Your style of teaching is fun!

Dear Rusty, Sir ( I’m not worthy) fantastic lesson and I will continue to follow you ( I’m not worthy) cheers from across the pond

Nice demonstration Rusty. Would love to have you in a band for sure!👍

Just found your channel and I'm glad I did. It's like your speaking directly to me with what you're teaching. Thank you Thank you Then you.

Only the second video, of yours, I've watched. Even though it is above my knowledge and skill level, I have and will continue to learn from it. Thank you again for sharing your experience, knowledge and passion. BEST AND PEACE.

Good Lord man, I have been looking for an instructor/teacher/mentor like you who just lays it out and down forever. I have been stuck on the neck and in MAJ/m pentatonics for literally years. You got me hooked man, and staying' on this till I need to progress further. Thank you so very much!

Thank you Rusty.. I will be trying this ...
