@@RJRonquillo I'm not even kidding Bro, I'm not a novice, been playing decades and in the You Tube revolution I watch many many great players, Pete Thorn, Tim Pierce etc for new tips to improve my playing and this is by far the best and easiest to follow method I've ever seen anyone teach. Nobody needs any more than this. If they follow your instruction in this video there is literally very little else anyone needs to be able to develop killer soloing and over any chord changes. Been on your channel since you had less than 20k subscribers. I'm in Sydney Australia BTW. Love your work. Michael

Smokin Gun I agree 100%! Been playing 30 years this year and have never come across such clear, concise and important information presented so thoughtfully and with such great execution. This not only gave me instruction on what’s next and answered my questions I’ve been thinking about for years but gave examples of how to pass these hurdles, and RJ made it easy to understand and think about so that I can practice this and continue moving forward!

I couldn't agree more!! - So many useful and also easy to follow steps/principles... - I wish I had just only THIS info and 45 minutes lesson 30+ years ago..., I think that would have opened up the mystery of playing across the neck so easily...; R.J. is one of the few really outstanding teachers here...; I like when he mentiones he lets his ear guiding him more than the actual shape... - it's what I have leaned to a lot... - and while it takes probably much time, leading to a lot of wrong notes :-D - I think it helps developing th ear and melodic feeling. Great Stuff R.J. !!!

I like you , always had a deep admiration and respect for Hendrix before I move on to the next world . ( hopefully not soon ) I’m 65 in January and this is on my bucket list . I just restarted back in January after a long hiatus from playing and music out and no guitar at home either . It’s like I’ve been in a coma and just came out of it. The technology and products has been overwhelming and refreshing; I have purchased some online lessons with a few different players to get my feet wet again . I have a university professor and full time psychotherapist. I wanted to thank you for your channel . I have watched many of your videos all day . My health is relatively good and I’m taking a break from teaching to re-evaluate my life and future . I was extremely impressed by your channel . Teaching style and sincerity . The strings you taught me with then Hendrix video amazed me . The video with the clip of your Hendrix tribute in high-school. I like your teaching style and checked out your site. Sorry to be so long winded posting all day . ITS SO EXCITING FOR ME . take care

This lesson literally encompasses almost all of my playing techniques. If he does just a few (sloppy) taps at the end, I may have an existential crisis. Literally all my improv playing over or along with tracks is basically this. Rip some min. pentatonics, followed by some arpeggio picking over the appropriate chordshape. I'll never be a smooth sweep-picker or anything, but its a good idea to learn these techniques to build up different 'comfort zones' all over the neck and learn how to incorporate them with the chord changes of the rhythm section. One of the best feelings as a player with aspirations to shred is when you first realize you can improv jam along with a Jimi/SRV tune and just by your knowledge of the song's progression, you can play harmonious lead lines seemingly effortlessly from muscle memory and the innate knowledge base you've built up in your head over time, learning the instrument and his style. Feels good man.

This particular lesson was a higher level of quality than many of the ones on YT by other players. And by "higher quality" I do mean an overall improved feeling experience. It was clearly not an absolute beginner's lesson, yet it was obtainable by most of us who are still learning to actually apply some of the basics (and then some). Great lesson. Great pace. Great personality. I hope that your life is well adjusted and going well at home since your decision to come off the road. You have certainly earned my respect and attention times over.

This is a video I can keep coming back to as my skills progress. I really like that you overlay the chord and scale in the upper left hand corner. Good "training wheels" to have as I explore what works over the chord. Great song choice as well since it includes the first six chords of the G major scale, a passing chord and an non-scale chord to boot. PS Bonus points for the matching guitar and strap. I see what you did there... ;-)

Utterly fantastic. This video should be required watching as an introduction to soloing. I was really hoping to see you just utterly destroy this chord progression as inspiration at the end but I'll take what I can get.

I 100% agree Andrew! I'm just starting to get into soloing with minor penta and major scales together or practicing minor penta over chord changes and this video is excellent. It feels great to be able to understand what Ron is saying, even if I can't quite play the level 3 and 4 stuff yet, I can grasp the concepts and its really fun trying not to make your 1st position penta sound like a scale, lol. It's so hard right now, but its getting better! Also, he's right...playing over little wing progression is so damn fun.

Fantastic lesson! I’d say the best sounding was level 1 though :) it’s incredibly hard not to sound cheesy playing nothing but triads / arpeggios over chord changes, especially in non-jazz context. I find the most satisfying approach (to my ear) is stick to a scale (either modal or pentatonic or both) in the key, then use very small bits of a triad (or even just a single not e or double stop from the triad) to emphasize a chord here and there, especially if that chord is outside the key (like F). But even when the Em first goes to G, because G is so harmonically similar to Em, it sounds awesome when you briefly take a break from Em pentatonic and hit the 1st and the 3rd from the G maj triad.

@@dreyn7780 Your comment doesn't even make sense. It wasn't about being close or to play like Jimi Hendrix note for note. R.J. addressed that in the beginning of the video. Did you even watch it? It was about four concepts of phrasing over the Little Wing chord changes and being conscious of the techniques used of phrasing over the changes. If you have an issue with it not being close or up to some standard in your mind reply or comment to RJ not me I didn't play or record the video.

Level 99 KZfaq lesson! It's fascinating to see how the levels feed into each other. Even when you're playing Level 1 in a single pentatonic position, you're targeting chord tones from Level 4 and it sounds so "on".

That one time KZfaq recommends was spot on! New sub! Really informative lesson to help me soloing in general. These 4 steps way of teaching is awesome, gives me a natural progression in practicing :) How can I practice level 3.2 of staying in the same position for all chords?
@RJRonquillo 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the sub! To practice the one position, pick a position and go through all the pentatonic scales of the song, in that position (Em, Am, Bm, Dm) . An easy starting place would be 12th fret position.

How I learned to play the blues. I thought Blues scales were how you did it. So I tried to play Blues scales and it didn't work least not for me. Then I listen to the tempo and timing. And I said ah, that sounds a little better. Then I did some pausing and extreme bending and I applied that to regular pentatonic scales. Then I realized it's all in the timing and the great ones like Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Joe Satriani, Gary Moore, Ritchie Blackmore are all great Blues players in reality. It's all in the timing. To be a better blues player more extreme bending is essential. But not in all cases. If you just play Blues scales without any technique it wouldn't sound very good. Yngwie has a song called blue that doesn't have any blues scales and sounds amazing that's at a much faster tempo
