I haven't even picked up my guitar yet (6:15 a.m. in Maine), but I can see how incredibly helpful this is going to be Rusty. Thank so much for your dedication toward helping fellow guitarists learn and improve. These are awesome tips, even for those of us who don't know the scales inside and out, as you apparently do. I'm a copy-cat player and occasionally I manage to go through a pattern correctly. If I can nail these combinations down, I'll be a much better (sounding) guitarist. Thank God I have the drums to fall back on, cause I'm determined to be a musician in one way or another. It's my beloved addiction. Thanks again Rusty!

Your videos moved me from beginner to intermediate in a short while. Thanks Rusty.

Good stuff man ✌️

Holy crap that’s great advice.

Rusty that was just fantastic bud. I can’t believe how great that was. Wow

Very helpful, thanks!

Thanks. God bless you much. Greetings from Costa Rica central América

Around 7 minutes in you talk about playing the chords across the neck using certain shapes. Do you have any diagrams or advice to easily find them so I can practice ? It’s kind of hard to tell from the video. Great stuff and thank you

One important point not mentioned, probably because it's likely a beginner topic: Listen closely to Rusty's playing. Every individual note has feeling, character, depth. I bet he could play a one note "solo" that would sound great. I'm still working on that. But Rusty gives me goals to aspire to. Great stuff, even if still above my skill level.

Excellent advice’ I’m like you in many ways. I’ve been playing over five decades and now you’ve helped me study and plugging in the triad and other exercises you’re taught me. I’m learning the root notes and I’m unlearning bad habits now and I’ve been improving exponentially. My skills are returning and improving. Helps me so much . I PLAY WITH WHAT I FEEL IN MY HEART. NOW I AM MORE INTENTIONAL WITH MY LEAD SKILLS ‘ ❤

Rusty, my friend I really appreciate that you put the distortion pedal in there too and explain positions on your guitar etc. etc. because you are able to get very distinct sounds . When I played electric rhythm, I was more of a minimalist. I didn’t really use but two things of Wawa pedal on some fuzz. I most played acoustic guitar, amplified more Eagles, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, stuff like that. Now I’m chasing tone sounds or one person said happy hunting for tones . ❤

Excellent lesson Rusty! I do play from my heart and it FEELS WONDERFUL ❤! Thank you

I want to give you another compliment, my friend. I’ve never played as well in my 68 years of life.❤. And I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart Rusty, because you have showed me what I already knew, but I never cultivated it. Now I’m able to put it together and make colors and paraphrases and my creativity is flowing in. My health is improving, and I really appreciate everything. You’ve helped me worse, and I know you were a vessel for a little Lord, and I understand that nevertheless, I really appreciate you.❤

Always a pleasure my friend. I’m picking up lots of great stuff from you Rusty send my regards to Chicago from St. Louis.❤

Thanks for a great lesson

Fantastic lesson, Rusty. Thank you so much. Just a question? You play the major box for the E7 and the minor one for the A7 and B7, right?

Would you download a pdf for the location of all of the 4 note E boxes. It would help. Thanks. I always enjoy your channel and lessons.

Hi, this the second Double Stop video of yours that I have watched. Unfortunately, neither told me whether I am playing a third, fifth, or sixth double stop.

Nice lesson Rusty, i watched almost half and worked on it, but ill watch the rest later, im getting burned out from playing guitar so much. Lol.😀

Gosto muito de ouvir Eric Clapton e com esta lição entendi que ele usa muito isso, obrigado mais uma vez Rustys

Addidtive 🎉luv it ,Thanks again Rusty ❤

Another awesome lesson Rusty. Congrats on getting 100k subs. Well deserved my friend!

Awesome

This is a great lesson, I found so much from this & it helps to connect up all the dots. It's surprising what riffs you can get out of just 4 notes and also mix a scale run with it. Excellent Rusty....as usual

Great stuff Rusty . I still LOVE THAT TUNE TOO

U hit the nail on the head, scales sound like scales, great explanation and sample phrases, Bravo, another really good lesson thanks

WELL DONE RUSTY... CHEERS M8... WE ALWAYS GET MUCH MORE WITH U... TRUELLY APPRECIATED MY FRIEND... PLEASE KEEPEM COMMIN... WE ARE ALL WITH YOU...

Excellent..you are a great teacher

Awesome lesson rusty i love that strat also is that color sienna sunburst.

What an AWESOME lesson Rusty, Learned so much to break out of the pentatonic and just simply play the notes of the chords. Wow I got my next months work ahead of me. I love this being retired because I can watch your lessons and have real time to work on them. Thanks so very much, Take Care and God Bless.

Be cool if you had tabs

Thank you for me such a great lesson. Keep it up

You said the right thing, finally someone admits it. Scales don't sound musical. Remember scales are the biggest waste of practice time, the caged method is where you learn the best music.

A friend's coming to visit. I'm afraid they'll ask me to play something. Now I know what I can play. Thank you, Rusty. They're gonna say, "Dude, you're a badass bluesman," and I'm gonna say, "Yeah.

So good as always Rusty, thank you.

"The rhut note". I love it. Another solid lesson Rusty!

It is awesome how you make complex things simple, and easy for all of us to practice and improve our musicality and techniques. You are a fantastic teacher. I wish I had known these things when I started playing, decades ago! Thanks a lot for helping us. 🎸🎸🎸

Congrats on 100K subs. Richly deserved . Thanks Rusty

Nice stuff . I am on the brink of discovery . Talent like SRV is very much missed.

Thanks!

Great tone.

Wow that minor/major 4 note box really works now I’m paying attention to the “rut” note. Thanks!

Just stay in your barre chord form and you can play them easily……just have to hide that ring finger.

Thank you my friend ❤ !… congratulations on your success and accolades! God bless you and yours ❤🎸🌶️❤️☮️🤓. St. Louis Missouri! Hope you’re staying cool and healthy ❤️🤓🎸👍☮️

Rusty is top 10 teacher of guitar on KZfaq, watch learn and subscribe!!! Thanks again brother Rusty !!!

Rusty, Been in a rut so long that I couldn't get out. Thank You, means more than words can express, and easily the best work I've seen.

Great lesson Rusty! Thankyou for reminding & showing us how to use "BBK's house" pattern as an extension to the Em pentatonic scale 👍

Rusty's lesson here is not only a nice solo to get down pat (including hammer on technique plus hybrid picking) but also a great springboard for us to improvise our own ideas plus......play this double duty for our acoustic blues as well! Jim C.
