I find that I've done a lot of these techniques in my playing, but never knew they had a name or a concept behind them. These lessons help me realize what exactly I've been doing, and that allows me to milk them for even more than I've been doing, so thank you for that!

Love this! Thank you Tom Hess! Best guitar teacher on the planet!

Mini lessons in digestible amounts, that are actually useful and usable straight away.

This lesson is so good, I need to watch it again! Thank you Tom Hess!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Tom

One more awesome lesson Tom Hess... This keeps getting better and I'm excited for the detailed lesson in my student account

You are the best guitar teacher alive you know that? Thanks man again amazing lesson. 🙏💪

Top video, really good info

I love this idea

Wow that was awesome thanks

This guy can get a lot out of just a few notes.

Very nice phrasing elements. So easy to use and so expressive!

Wow, so many cool solos here. I guess you could cut this video into pieces and make a few songs from that :)

Love this! The 9th is my favorite :)

So generally using a consonant pitch to set up a dissonant one seems to make it "fit" better? That and playing the dissonant pitch with conviction (phrasing, maybe articulate it harder etc). I appreciate the tips on specific notes to try a lot, like going from 5 - 9...This gives me a much better approach than just trying random combinations. Thank you!

There are some really cool phrases in this video. This gave me some good ideas to work with. :)

Thank you so much. This is so cool

Great lesson love it . Can i use the 13 also for rock? Thanks man

Is it possible to make notes that aren't parts of the scale sound good? For example, if I solo over the C chord, and I want to use notes like D#, G#, etc. Is it possible to make them sound good? If yes, I would love to watch a video about this. Thank you in advance.

Help ! Confused ! I am habituated in playing the first note of a Pentatonic scale with an "UPSTROKE" going from the top to bottom , While coming up I start with a "downstroke" , i kinda got used to it. Now outside the pentatonic, when i try to play any 4 note/string or 3 note/string i am more comfortable using a "DOWNSTROKE" first. But i find difficulty in doing a 2 note/per string starting with a "DOWNSTROKE". Is it because im playing the pentatonic scale starting with an UPSTROKE that i am not able to play 2 note/string outside the pentatonic starting with a DOWNSTROKE ? Or is it with the Synchronization thing ??

Where can we find backing track ?
