Awesome tips Rusty! It's always a challenge getting students to visualize and use all of the pentatonic patterns. Small phrases are key.

@rustysguitar1 Жыл бұрын

Thanks Tim! Yes, I was one of the players that was afraid to move from the first position for sure. Thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment! Enjoy your week buddy👍

You are an absolutely amazing teacher I will be turning 60 this May 7th and I could not be happier to have found you as a teacher, although I played guitar my whole life I've always been a rhythm guitar player in bands I've been in, and although I can pretend to be a lead guitar, buy whipping out several cool riffs that I've learned through the years, I'm just now really learning lead after all these years, I look forward to you being my teacher for some time to come.. thanks for your channel

When he was just starting his channel I contacted him asking to buy advanced lessons, he sent me 60 videos of totally free, mostly advanced type lessons. You are helping many guitar players by these lessons. Is there a way one can send you a few bucks in appreciation?😀

Hi, Rusty, Love this Idea of using one and two strings of scale patterns , gives color then you have the patterns on other strings for more options. Experince counts you can sure learn of the older guys, I tell my young bloke always listen Don't shoot your mouth off just listen and it is surprising what there is to learn its universal you need two life terms and thats only guitar. Cheers Les.
