Why has this guy only 69k subs? Whats wrong with youtube? All of his vids are helpful and on a good level. Not "Easy unlock to your solo play for beginners" and then a mastergrade lesson in 20 harmonics and sweep picking like others.... Thumbs up Rusty. Proceed. First guy i would buy a course from.

'Long Time Beginner' - love that line! ....ain't we all..

When an instructor and student click it makes such a difference in learning. You teach the way I learn. Love it.

I began learning guitar when I was a teenager, long before the internet, video and DVD's etc, just books and listening to records to work out the chords of songs, then I got married, sold all my gear and didn't touch a guitar for a very long time, now I have bought some guitars and an amp, loving picking it up again and your video's are very encouraging, thanks.

Long time beginner. Just as I feel myself . Since the 70's I always dreamed to play guitat. I finnaly bought my baby four years ago. At my 66 years old and now retired . Finally could enjoy my dream. And I own you everything the new way to play .It seems so simple, the way you teach the tecniques . Thks a lot Rusty.

Long time beginner. That's me. By the time I get any good, if that happened, my fingers would be too arthitic to play or I'd have dementia.

I just happened to run across your videos. Just a little background. I'm a 64 year old country fellow. I'm not a lead player. Before my hearing got so bad (in the last 10 years). I was a decent country / rockabilly bass player for dances around my area and we also played the animal clubs (eagles, moose's, elks) and VFW's. I like what and the way your are teaching. If I had run across your lessons 30 years ago I might have been a lead player instead of a bass thumper. I still play, but I'm not try to get to be a super lead player. I like the way you explain what your are doing as you are playing. Your not to loud, you have a good mix on your sound (guitar, backing track on the looper and your voice) . You have just gained another subscriber.

Im a long time bass player and I have been on and off guitar for years.I find your videos very helpful.Thank you! Looks like you have a Bible on the table behind you. It blesses me to be able to see that! It's the best book in the world to read! 👍

Rusty after many many years of off and on trying to play the guitar I have recently retired and actually have time each day to dedicate to it. At 70 Im not so sure I can get my fingers to work too fast but Im going to give it a try. Glad I found your channel. I see the young guys shredding and thats not for me anymore.....

ABSOLUTELY A FANTASTIC LESSON

Another great lesson.......thanks Rusty.......Paul from Ireland

Thank you very much Rusty. Have a nice week end.

Dude there it is a progression I use alot , Excellent Rusty !!!

There are 5 positions of the pentatonic , plus you can play everything one octave up past the 12th fret .. with a good ear you can play and extend the first position higher upon the neck . Triads are also a good help to climb fast , but yes you have to play it with feel so that means dressing the notes up with slides and bends ... you did great here in this tutorial connecting everything... see Angus Young still plays pentatonic .. so it doesn’t have to be that complicated , just play it with passion feel and dedication , for rock n roll the right attitude is very important

I have to tell you my friend,no one has ever inspired me the way you have, I'm only,60yrs old and have been playing for a short year now,but you bring it all home for me.

You inspire a lot of people, Rusty. 🧡🎶🎸Breaking the boundaries and learning new variations of solo guitar playing is an exciting adventure.👏😊🧡

Здравствуйте Rusty 🤝 Большой и Тёплый Привет Вам из Москвы ✌️ Огромное Вам Спасибо🙏 Супер Замечательный и очень полезный урок 👍👍👍 С каждыми Вашими уроками я начинаю играть ещё лучше, а самое главное что я начинаю понимать на какую ноту в аккордах нужно делать акцент. Пентатоника это хорошая идея для импровинции в блюзе👍 Дай Вам Бог Крепкого Здоровья и Творческого настроения 🙏 Ваш Друг Илья ✌️✌️✌️

I wish there was someone like you teaching rockabilly

Best teacher ever. You have finally given me the ah ha moments. Been stuck fir many yrs

I can't believe how good your phrasing is without even really trying

I was writing a comment here and out of the blue it disappeared. What I was commenting on was how I can relate to these courses. They are also great building blocks for increasing the level of the player.

You do that with so much soul Brotherman :)

Alright, I just wrote a comment earlier this morning about how i use this run to go horizontally with the pentatonic. Did you read that comment and decide to make a video about it? Haha

Your words of wisdom are priceless Rusty - thanks for all that you do!

I'm exactly in this phase of learning, trying to explore more of the fretboard. I don't fancy just copying others work and I rather progress and find the way on my own. Sometimes it's just useless noodling and crap, but sometimes I hit the right notes and it starts to sound nice and melodic. It gives me great piece of satisfaction and will to continue.

Another superb presentation Rusty 👍👍🎸🎸

This is an awesome Rusty, thanks 🙏

Great lesson and content Rusty! 👍🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

good PLAYING GUITAR SOLOS

Hello Rusty, it's been a while, your channel grows a lot and you deserve it, always great videos, clear lessons, it s always a pleasure to look inside, congrat

Basics first ! Great great lesson again 🎉

I did get something, (a number of things) from the lesson - Thank you Rusty

This is one of those lessons that is simple enough to be absorbed but is rich in content and widely applicable. If you really get the full content of this lesson down, in your fingers, head & heart, it’ll take you a long way, IMO…

Awesome tutorial! Thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend my friend

What a worthy lesson Rusty, you really know how to teach us, thanks a lot for make possible for us a real useful view of complicated stuff!

Thanks Rusty! I'm learning a lot from your videos. Indeed words of wisdom, wish I had learned it at my youth.

I got a lot out of this lesson Rusty! Thank you

Thank you for sharing your recipe Rusty❤❤

Thanks very much for these videos Rusty, being stuck in a rut for years with my playing like you explained, these tutorials are like a reset for me..going back to the basics and just concentrating on target notes..it is so powerful.

Such A Good Lesson ! Too Much I Have Learned From You. Thanks/Gracias. Talk To You Soon.

Great lesson, thank you. I also love the strat with the humbucker. Thinking of getting one of the new HSS stats with the noiseless single coils.

Thanks Rusty for your tutorials you present them in a very easy to learn manner and believe me I have watched a few....although I have been playing for a while now mostly in a drop-c tuning as I like the heavier sound but you have opened my eyes to a whole new style of playing for me so thanks again 🎸👍

I’m working my way through some of your earlier videos since I’ve just found this channel recently. You present a lot of great material in a very learnable manner. This video is no exception. My problem is, it takes me a week or better to absorb each lesson and there are SO many excellent tips to get to!! Thank you. Cheers, Rick

WOW,, I think a light just went off in my head,thanks Rusty

Another great lesson. Learning to move just a few frets out of the main position opens up so much.

Lots of ideas here! Thanks

Wow‼️ As a beginner I am learning a lot from you Rusty. I have a lot to work with now. Thanks😀

Hi Rusty, you have enlightened me with basics. Just subscribed. More of one chord soloing first..

Thanks for your time..Great Lesson again. Reminds me of technics that I may have stopped using as much as i should.

Hi Rusty they say that you're never to old to learn . Your tutorials have helped me a lot , thank you very much , oh yeah I forgot to say that I have subscribed to your channel

Hey Rusty! Thanks again for sharing your thoughts & techniques man. I’m really enjoying all of your feeds as you already know and I’m stating the obvious again ahah! I had purchased a few courses about these runs but it’s always nice to get a few other tips and viewpoints from others so it hopefully sticks a bit better too. I especially liked that breakdown you just did recently on the Shook Me All Night Long video too. Hoping you don’t ever decide to stop teaching because these tutorials really are very good, much appreciated! Tommy~

Big likes 👍 Keep playing ✅💯

Excellent tuoriel! Bravo and thank you for this beautiful sharing. A pleasant moment of listening. I wish you a good day. Danielle

love this! keep it up

Hey Rusty, great stuff as always. It's those little things that help fit the puzzle pieces together. Thanks PS, can you please talk a little about the gear used in your videos. Your tone is spot on

Dear my friend.~ nice sharing video!!..,,,,full watch😊👍.. I hope you have a nice day tomorrow.!,,,

I’m back from another week in the sun buddy 👍🏻🎸 love this tutorial as always my friend 👍🏻 you make the pentatonic scale with extensions sound amazing Rusty. Thanks bud 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🎸

This lesson is a great eye opener for me. I've been playing for eight years now, and I always say I'm a beginner and don't know much. Yet when I play, I play up and down the fretboard like your post. Thanks for the boost of confidence! Your an excellent guitar teacher, Rusty. In my opinion, your in the top five of on line teachers.

Nice lesson.

I like the way you travel up and down from string to string ! I’ve developed a bad way of changing strings that I’ve been doing since I was a kid! It sounds wrong! The way your doing it sounds how it should! I think that’s one of the tricks to playing is how we move from string to string not necessarily chromatic just laterally! Side to side feels natural but Lateral is awkward! I’ve got bad habits moving Laterally from string to string especially when I try going fast!

nice lesson learned a couple things chromatic blues note sounds great

Born to teach and share. Amazing

Great lesson man. I think you nailed the escape route for those of us stuck in the pentatonic time loop. Cheers

I really like this video. Thank you for sharing the wonderful video. Your work very well and you are very talented 🙏🙏🙏🙏 brother 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 May God bless you and all time happy your life ❤️❤️❤️ all the best for your life ❤️. Great work ✅✅🏆💞 always smile ☺️

I'll always be a beginner. I may be settling into who I am as a player but room to grow is infinite. Thank you for all you are doing to help all of us my friend!!!

Dang that was a great lesson

Thanks for the lesson Rusty. I’m still in the beginner stage of my soloing but here and there, I have glimpses of hope that I’m starting to play a little by ear and feel. Would you say ear and feel starts to become more natural and will maybe replace playing in box shapes and memorised patterns the more I progress?

I always get something out of your lessons. I was stuck in the mud for many years. It did not keep my interest. For the last 3months I have been cramming on KZfaq. there are several good teachers out there. I am tired of using backing tracks. I am going to check out blues jams in the area

Bought a cheap red strat copy 45 years ago when I was 15. Hadn’t a clue, tried playing ‘James Bond’ theme on top string (badly). The world didn’t come knocking at my door or fall at my feet. Hand painted the poor little guitar black and then in a fit of complete teenage idiocy and hubris tried to refret the damn thing. I think it probably ended up in the bin. A year later another cheap, no name guitar bought from Traffords catalogue. This time a couple of library books on chords and a few Chappell music chord books (the Thin Lizzy one was particularly disappointing in those pre ‘tab’ days). But in my head I was well on my way to being on stage with Jimmy Page.. (Ah, to be a 16 year old knobhead again). My passion and unrealistic expectations took a bit of a hammering after going to see Rory Gallagher, AC/DC and some supremely talented local bands in quick succession. Left school, got a job and life went on, dreams of stardom forgotten. Borrowed an acoustic off a mate in my late twenties and actually taught myself a few songs, hung out with a few local musicians and occasionally sat in on sessions strumming along and eventually switching to bass guitar. God bless you Eric Clapton Unplugged, Best of Van Morrison and The Eagles Greatist Hits. Motto of all this rambling? Music and guitar are life long loves, you are never too old to learn and progress. Advice to my younger self? Learn the basic chords (and lyrics of a song) before trying to play the guitar behind your head or with your teeth. Less noodling and daydreaming, rather have small bite size achieveable goals - also, have fun! Love your channel Rusty and what you are kindly sharing. Could have done with such a teacher many years ago. By the way I can hear bits of David Gilmour type lead in your playing - obviously I mean this as a compliment! Cheer’s and keep up the good work. Glad to have discovered your channel.

yes sir i wanna learn the notes so this tips are me so welkom

👍thank you

you a real bad ass guitarist you are so good

Rusty, First thanks for all of helpful videos you put out. When you use the pentatonic boxes 1-5 is there certain boxes you use more then other. Find when using box 2 and 5, I’m using just the GBE strings. Where box 1 3 5 I tend to use the whole box for licks. Thanks for any tips Bob

I’m still not even a beginner, hahaha. But in all seriousness, your videos are very easy to follow. You explain it so well for everyone who looks at your videos. A great lesson, Rusty ❤

I am just starting to get back into Guitar as until lately I just was not getting it. I was in limbo and even sold the equipment in disgust. However lately I have been getting the urge to get back into playing the guitar again. Watching many videos until I came across your video "Adding Notes To A Chord" WOW that was an opener or Guitar Brain Opener. LOL I can really relate and understand what you saying in these lessons. I do have a ways to go to get things completely back however I have a folder in the Music app and I am making sure that these course links are in the folder for me to have a reference too. Thanks, Rusty for turning my new Guitar Light Bulb on.

Thanks

Great job again mr rusty!. I’m just not getting improvising, can play scales no problem.. feels like if I can just get what I’m missing I can run with it but I’m just not getting it yet, any advice?

Nice👍

New friend here. Wonderful video. You have a beautiful channel. Have a good weekend. 🔔💚146

So I've been playing this extension for so long in the same old boring way. Then you just made it sound so much more musical then I ever have. Got a free metronome on my phone, so going to find a speed I feel comfortable with and go for it. Why do some guitar players hate using a metronome? Makes no sense to me, if it helps.

Hi Rusty! I just bought an el-guitar and I'm eager to expand my skills and knowledge on this new adventure. What are the nice fuzz and loop pedals you are using? Sounds good!

Rusty can I ask what settings you are playing for this presentation. Your Strat sounds amazing, is it through a mixer, amp and using pedals. It sounds sweet as.

Really digging the cherry burst strat, was going to get one went home thought about it went back later it was sold 😂 What is it called sienna burst?

I have trouble hearing the chord change in time to hit the right notes in the solo.

Rusty I was the same as you "In The Rut"

Thanks for your lead lessons... They are really helpful and very easily explained.... Sorry just wanted to know if the book in the background which is open ... Is it the Bible.😊

Hey Rusty do you (or anyone here) have suggestions for backing tracks we should use for this????

Так все таки в чем заключается вертикальный способ и чем детально он отличается от горизонтального. Желательно бы чтобы были табы и можно было бы осознать суть вопроса и понять эти методы на разных примерах в разных тональностях

👍

So, this shape is movable up and down the fretboard?? How do you know what key you are in?? Where is the root note??

HIT THAT LIKE BUTTON X
