    The reason why I subd is because I have seen a few of your videos. I like the why you are honest about your struggles and mistakes . You relate well to a newbie to the guitar and explain things really well. I have been stuck in the minor pentatonic scales for a long time. Now I am trying all the new things I have learnt from your lessons. Sometimes you show things that a newbie cannot see and seem obvious after your explanation. Brilliant videos Bro.

    I love it when someone confirms what I’ve just found out for myself - although I was limiting myself just to triads. What I’d love to see is an explanation of where and how to actually start soloing - I’m fine with rhythm playing and can sometimes hear the solos I’d like to play, in my head, but actually getting started soloing - that’s hard as hell! And the traditional ‘here’s a pentatonic pattern - now start noodling’ is just random noise to me! There has to be a set of principles, some logical place to get started….

    Great approach.I’ve applied this method and it works well.
    Once you have jumped in to this you can begin to explore double stops and the like.
    All it takes is time and practice, practice, practice.
    The only addendum to this is when the chord changes are rapid, you have to simplify even more or you will get lost.

    This is the greatest guitar lesson I have ever seen (and I am age 70) and I think David Wallimann is flat out amazing. I have been exposed to a lot of material on music theory, scales, and modes, and none of it has ever helped me to make real music or ever made enough sense to bother to master. Most people trying to teach music theory overly complicate matters and create a confused mess that makes it hard to master music. David Wallimann has cut through all that mess as far as I am concerned, and I am going to pick up my guitar again at age 70 (after about a 50 year layoff) and try this again. I can never than you enough David Wallimann!

    I have a petty good grasp on theory and I am still struggling to put it to practical use, but I was able to follow your description of what you were doing. I bet you blew right past a lot of curious viewers at about the 7-minute mark. You started assuming foreknowledge that a lot of people who came here probably don't have. Still a good video for a guitar player at the right level. I like the different angle you have taken with this"method". Thanks for sharing.
