    You want the ultimate scale + arpeggio obstacle course?! You got it!
    Uncle Ben Eller here is gonna learn you a magical series of arpeggios hidden within scales. Its a GREAT way to blend techniques together like alternate and sweep picking, or work on your crosspicking, too. Its also a great way to learn how arpeggios fit inside of scales! It slices, it dices, it sounds cool!!!
    Using my Jackson Virtuoso into a Marshall 1987X 50 watt plexi with a Carl Martin Plexi Drive in front. Sounds sooooo good going into the UA OX!!!

    What are the chances of you doing tutorial for intro of "Vavoom Ted the Mechanic" by Deep Purple. There's not a single decent cover of it on UA-cam, and not a single tutorial about it. I came to conclusion that Steve Morse is the only human who can actually play it. Please uncle Ben, you're my only hope!

    Since 2006 when I discovered govan and his book. I relearned guitar from scratch. And slowly learned to play starting thinking chords progressions e intervals. Improvising starting with arpeggios as target chord tones . Pentatonics around it and finally modes around pentatonic when needed. I play guitar over 40 years. And was hard reprogramming my mind from zero... But worth the effort. Play changes goes from completely impossible to a breeze. This kind of exercise you teach here is great for practice making phases and licks at general. When play scales is great always have chord tones as the skeleton for the ideia.

    Dude I love your page and your lessons licks. I've been playing for 35 years and have been the Gilmour in a PF tribute for 12 years and can play rhythm stuff from Slayer to Beethoven. However I am far from a master at anything and always looking to get better. I was always more of the James hetfield in my playing that I was the Kirk Hammett. I've really been working recently to get more advanced with my fretboard and really enjoy your videos. I don't have your speed but everything is a journey. Thanks for the work you put in. Looking to be as good as my stepdad one day

    Anyone want to guess WHY this sounds cool, in terms of theory? I think I might know: the lydian portion is the tritone sub (Eb7 is trisub of A7)

    • @ryanhass8716
      @ryanhass8716 5 місяців тому +1

      This comment turned me into a sputtering buffoon for a minute lol
      I was thinking "how TF does Lydian relate to a dominant chord!? Lydian has a natural 7 (melodic minor scale aside)"
      Took me a while to realize that Db Lydian has the same notes as Eb Mixolydian, which has that dominant 7. But that is kind of eye opening, I was thinking of tritone subs in such a strictly chordal way. Like it HAS to be in relation to harmony, not melody, because...of my own misunderstanding?
