    Practice one note. Bend it, hammer it, slide it, Tremelo it, half bend, full bend, bend and release, bend and hold, bend and vibrate, and so on and so forth. Make that one note talk and you can make them all talk.

At the beginning of the year I got my old Strat 25-Anniversary out (my God, that thing still sounds great after so many years) and rediscovered my passion. You helped me out - thank you very much - by the way, I'm 67 - greetings from Vienna

    Your videos about just taking a fragment of the scale is really good and helpful. I was one of the many that thought that you have to use the whole scale up and down to make something good, but then what. When you master those little fragments of the scale then you maximize the use of it. It’s really good and interesting the things you can learn with different people with different ideas.

    As a very new beginner, I've been learning the extended pentatonics and can work my way across the fretboard and back but it doesn't sound "musical" at all, just a bunch of notes going up and down. I'm trying to learn things like this to turn those scales into something that sounds interesting, so this video is really helpful. Please make more vidoes on tricks and ideas for guitar "linguistics" and how to really go from a boring scale to something that sounds interesting. Love the video man, you're a great teacher!

      Use the hotboxes he talks about you can go forward on a lick then run the lick backwards. Then hit triads in different octaves. Then maybe start sliding into some notes. Start a a hotbox lick slow then speed it up real quick but still keep it musical not too fast depending on beat. And definitely make sure to play scales with a backing track. Playing scales without a backing track vs playing with a backing track is a game changer. There is a RnB backing track in c minor on UA-cam and I think you would really enjoy. And another thing that I heard a guitarist say when soloing is to try and start in the middle and work your way up or down in octaves. Some start position 1 then climb. And another cool thing is starting a lick in position 1 for example instead of playing all 4 notes create a lick with 2 notes then finish the other two notes that finish it but in a different octave.

    As always, a very useful, well explained, and simple to execute lesson Eddie 😍 It seems like a slightly abridged version of the 2-3-2-3-2-3 pattern (minor) and the 3-2-3-2-3-2 pattern (major), and I find these patterns to be of great help in moving up and down the fretboard. I may be wrong but I think there is a GMM lesson on these patterns too 🥳
