Let me know if this lesson was helpful! I’d love to hear your thoughts! Here’s a link for this awesome backing track ua-cam.com/video/_CZHRLSck9k/v-deo.htmlsi=V5YwXfdKMcs3-OkL
Awesome lesson & your tone & vibrato sounds just like Blackmore on the song "Lazy" from Deep Purple's "Machine Head"...he is using this same scale!
I've finally noticed that you "top wrap" your Les Paul!
@@gearmeister I love me, some Ritchie, Blackmore, Guitar! I like top wrapping those strings for a little less tension, and I like to rest the palm of my hand on the bridge. And it feels better to me that way. I really appreciate the comment. Catch you later buddy.👍
@@rustysguitar1 Very cool, now I know that we're Blackmore fans & my goodness we've got a lot in common! I've got a black beauty within my 30+ guitar collection! I've tried top wrapping & I really didn't see much difference but we probably have a slight difference in where we normally place our right hand.
@@gearmeister you’re right. Probably not much difference. But I definitely like the way it feels as I rest my hand on the other side of the bridge. It’s a little higher. Thanks again. Keep rocking mate.👍
Thanks man you help alot
The Rust! We love you, Man!
Nice! I appreciate you also! Enjoy your new year holiday👍
Hey there, Rusty! Can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate your lessons! I’ve been “on and off” playing guitar for many years but never got very far with “lead work”. This is sooo helpful, especially for us “older guys”! Really do appreciate you, partner!
Cool! Us old guys have to stick together! Sounds like you’re moving forward. Thanks for your support this year. Craig and I hope you have a great new year holiday.👍
"On and off", is the worst mistake anyone can make. I ought to know.
Don't fault yourself. Society is to blame.
WOW! Thanks so much Rusty.
I’m a 65 year old beginner and I’ve learned the pentatonic scale but this has opened up a whole new perspective. Next I’m going to memorize all those A positions. lol. Thanks again.
You have a loyal follower.
Nice! I’m glad you got some ideas from the lesson! Sounds like you’re on the right track. I appreciate you watching my lessons, and I hope you have a great new year holiday.👍
Thanks Rusty very much. I know most chords but struggle with complicated lead. I wonder did Keith Richards go through the same thing as I and then made it up as he went along 😊. Great tutorial and will be following you from now on. Regards Conor from Ireland.
Rusty Im a beginner and I learned this scale a few days ago. This lesson really came at the perfect timing! thanks so much
Nice! I’m glad to hear that Dave! I appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching.👍
I’m often amazed at how important timing, attack, tension/vibrato are in great sounding music. The same handful of notes can sound completely different just because if they way they are played. I think that’s a big part of why I enjoy guitar - it’s very tactile.
Well said bro 😎 I definitely need to do more videos on technique. It doesn’t matter how many scales you know if you can’t make them sound like music! I appreciate the comments. Thanks.👍
you are right and every player does it a bit different.
Rusty is on a mission to pull back the curtain (think Wizard of Oz)..... this is gold imo. Pls keep it up in 2024 Rusty!
More gold on the way in 2024! Thanks for watching my videos Chris! Have a great new year holiday👍
Conceptually that was executed to perfection
My dad always said “keep it simple stupid”
Root notes along a horizontal scale lends to plenty of improvisations
That’s right we need to keep it simple! I like the way you said “root notes along the horizontal” Good one buddy! Enjoy your new year holiday. Thanks.👍
@@rustysguitar1 You to Rusty, have a good one, and thank you for sharing with us your guitar wisdom
Yet another awesome tutorial! You are an excellent teacher who loves to teach and share your great wisdom. I love your tutorials!!!
Cool! I’m glad you liked the lesson Johnny! Thanks for all your support this year. I hope you have a great 2024 buddy.👍
I wish you the same. Looking forward to next tutorial.
@@johnnydeville1551 Thanks Johnny! I have another one coming out New Year’s Day morning. Thanks for all your support this year.👍
Thanks Rusty. Looking forward to a great 2024. Take care.
You’re welcome Ray I appreciate all your support this year! Good to hear from you. I hope you have an awesome new year holiday.👍
Great lesson Rusty........thanks Paul from Ireland
Thanks a lot Paul! Giving you a new year greeting from Chicago! Later buddy👍
Super helpful info, Rusty. All the best in 2024, good sir 🤜🤛
I’m glad it was helpful! I hope you have a great new year 2024 also👍
Happy 2024 Rusty! One of my resolutions is to start playing along with your great lessons.
Sounds good Mike point we can get better at this stuff together! Have a great new year holiday👍
Thanks for another great one Rusty! Multiple light bulbs went off for me!
I’m glad the lightbulbs are going off Stew! Thank you for your support this year and I hope you have a great new year holiday👍
Rusty you are helping a lot of people to love the guitar, bringing easy ways to improve, thanks a lot buddy, Happy new Year ahead!
I am always happy to help. Thanks for all your support this year Rafa! Thank you and I hope you have a great 2024.👍
There are a few of these connected patterns in the pent scales - it is all about which ones you want to memorize. This one is a really simple way to navigate to your more melodic riffs, thanks.
You are right! Most of our Guitar heroes play in a few select parts of the fretboard. If it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for me. But I definitely like to keep it simple! Thanks so much for checking out the video.👍
@@rustysguitar1 I am one of those hacks that that gets highly enthused aboutscrewing around with the guitar (and of course all of the gear) until life catches up with me and I get busy (and loose out). I really have been enjoying your approach - it helps me get back into the swing of things. Thanks again.
@@78tag nice! I’m glad to hear that! I love all things, Guitar! And it sounds like you do also! Thanks a lot for watching my videos. Talk to you soon.👍
Nice. Thanks for showing us some of the licks on the root notes.
You’re welcome! I’m happy to help! Enjoy your new year holiday👍
Glad I got this notification
I’m glad you did also, Clifton! Thanks for watching. Later buddy.👍
Thanks Rusty! I always enjoy your clear, concise lessons!
You’re welcome, Randy! Thanks for all the support this year! Enjoy your new year holiday👍
Rusty you are the man. Love your lessons, please keep them coming in 2024!

Thank you, Chuck! I missed a lot of these simple connections myself. I had a lot of fun making this lesson!. I appreciate all your support this year! I hope you have a great new year holiday👍

I’m happy to help Gary! Thanks for checking out the video. And I hope you have a happy new year also.👍
This I found very interesting . Very good lesson Rusty .
I’m glad to hear that Tony! Thank you for watching! Enjoy your new year holiday👍
Im not abandoning that first position friend thanks rusty. Takes me many views of your videos to get it in my head.
Definitely don’t abandon it😂 Thanks a lot for taking the time to watch my videos! Have a great week ahead👍
Weird
I haven't been getting alerted to your videos.
My absolute favorite videos.
I’m sorry to hear that. Make sure your subscription is still clicked on. And also make sure the bell is still clicked on. I have turned those things off myself by accident when watching someone’s video. UA-cam is very unpredictable. But I really appreciate you watching my videos! Thanks for all your support this year. I hope you have a great new year holiday Harold👍
GREAT VID MATE... PLEASE KEEPEM COMMIN... WE ARE ALL WITH YOU...
More to come in 2024! Thanks mate! Cheers 👍
Thanks for showing the pinch harmonics, it took me a long time to learn this technique back in the day before you tube. Great video as always Rusty! 👍
I do need to show more of those kind of techniques! Thanks a lot for checking out my video, Ron! Happy new year buddy👍
Excellent stuff! So simple yet so very effective and sounding like a seasoned guitarist for us 'simple guys' who want to sound good! Thank you, Sir.
I appreciate your comment! Thanks for watching my videos! Happy New Year 👍
Rusty, you are the most inspiring guitarist! You make everyone feel they can do this!
I love this comment! That is my goal. Thanks so much Scott for your support this year. I hope you have a great new year holiday.👍
Watching your channel on your lead guitar playing ideas has greatly improved my playing in a short time. Thank you so much.
I’m glad to hear that Dave! Thanks a lot for watching my lessons, and I hope you have a great new year holiday👍
Reminds me of the intro to Magic Man by Heart! My favorite band of all time. Love the Wilson sisters! What amazing song writers and talented women. IMHO, I think Ann is one of the greatest singers of our time. Thanks for this lesson Rusty!
I love that tune! Oh, yes, Ann Wilson is one of the best ever!!! Thanks a lot for watching the lesson and have a great new year holiday👍
I swear you've been practicing on us all......on the sly, Rusty!! Great material and inspirations we hope and pray carry forward into the 2024 New Year!! Jim C.
I had a lot of fun with this lesson video for sure! Thanks for all your support this year. Really means a lot Jim! I hope you have a great new year holiday buddy.👍
Absolutely an incredible lesson to get a slide sound on the scales. Thank you for sharing this. Can't wait to be proficient on those slides.
I’m glad you liked the lesson Kevin! Keep working at those slide moves. Thanks for watching and have a great Sunday.🙏
Such a simple concept and it sounds great. Happy New Year!
I’m glad you got something from the lesson! Thanks for your support this year. And I hope you have a happy new year also. Thanks.👍
@@rustysguitar1 Just have to say, Rusty, this might be one of your best lessons. I've got it bookmarked and come back to it often. Thx!
@@MaxRadin i’m so glad to hear that Max! Thanks for taking the time to watch my lessons👍
This is a great lesson ! I just realized I bend to much, and very little slides, I have to give this lesson a grade of AAAAA+. Thank you Rusty you have opened up my mind. Much appreciated. Have a blessed new year.
Yeah man! Throwing a few slides in there can make a big difference. And it helps you get to other areas of the fretboard. Thanks so much for all your support this year. I know things will be looking up for you in 2024.🙏🙏🙏 so good
Love the way you simplify the structure of playing solo's. Another great lesson from your mate Down Under.
Thanks Rusty
Right on MP! Thank you for watching my lessons! I hope you have a great new year holiday! Cheers, mate👍
I like your teaching. I'm a barr chord thicko Sex Pistols guitar player and never developed past Never Mind the Bollocks. I see you as a breathe of fresh air and you keep it simple and inviting. I also love your black Les Paul and its tone. I salute you.
I appreciate that. Terry! I’m glad you like the lessons! Thanks for checking out the video.👍
I’m using one of your riffs from last week’s lesson for a guide to tone and feel. You are such a wonderful teacher. I was barely paying attention to this lesson, I immediately tested myself to see if I had the map down by transposing to G. Spent this week learning arpeggios. Makes no sense not to bone up on basics when you hear why.
Hey Cathy, it sounds like you’re really moving forward with your playing! It’s good to take little pieces out of each lesson and connect some of those ideas. I appreciate all your support this year Cathy! I hope you have a great new year holiday. Thanks.❤️
I just learned this extended scale yesterday lol. Thank you for this! I think its nice to know scales for sure but when you don't sound musical as a beginner then nothing makes sense until you start using vibrato, bends, slides, H.O's and P.O's and other cool tricks. We just gotta forge ahead and try as much as we can and keep at it.
Thanks Rusty!
You are on the right track! The first step is learning the notes and scales to use. But you need to use other techniques to make those notes sound musical! Thanks so much for checking out my videos! I hope you have a great new year holiday! Thank you 👍
This is great fun Rusty, & not too much thinking needed 👍🏻 hope you had a great Christmas time buddy and have a fantastic new year 🎉speak soon 👍🏻🎸🏴
Glad to hear it Dave! Thanks so much for all your support these last few years! Means a lot. My Christmas was awesome with my family. I hope yours was great also. And I hope you have an awesome upcoming 2024. Talk to you soon buddy.👍
Thanks for being there my friend 👍🏻 you’ve helped me and countless others on our guitar journeys 🎸 thank you Rusty 👍🏻🏴🎸
@@daveallsopp4394 I appreciate that Dave! Thanks for you always being there! Talk to you soon buddy👍
Can't get enough of this lesson!!! Love it!
I’m glad to hear that SR! It sounds like you’re having fun with it! Thanks and I hope you have a great new year holiday👍
Then to expand on this, add your major pentatonic scale and mix them and you open doors to an endless vocabulary for blues rock and rock.
Oh yes, endless possibilities! Thanks a lot for checking out the lesson! I hope you enjoy your new year holiday👍
Great video as always. I’ll be trying this out a little later. Thanks!👍🏻
Cool! I hope you have fun with it! I had a blast making this video! Thanks a lot for all your support this year. I hope you enjoy your 2024 BTBB.👍
This brief lesson is not helpful , it is SUPER HELPFUL - your lessons are also very inspiring. I have been playing many years , so many that ,in fact - should already know what you teach but never really took the time to dig in and learn the nuggets of playing that you so GREATLY INSTRUCT. I think you were born to show us this and cannot thank you enough for sharing your playing knowledge . I wish you were my neighbor - you rock 🙂🎸🎸🎸🎸👍✌️
You got me on that first line! Good one man! I’m really glad that the lesson’s are SUPER HELPFUL! Thanks for all your support CC! Have a great weekend 👍

Very helpful lesson. You have the best tone on your guitars. I just bought a Fender player plus telecaster and I just can't get tones like yours.
I’m glad you like the tone! I like to set my amps clean and add drive pedals. My favorite is the J Rocket Audio Archer pedal. Thanks a lot for your support this year! Enjoy your new year holiday.👍

I've heard this called the 2,3 string scale . I flip it , start with three and you have major. Simple but sounds great. Happy New Year Rusty.
Hey Charles, I use it in a major context all the time also. The sliding effect sounds great over a major progression. Thanks for all your support this year. I hope you have a great 2024.👍
Good stuff, as usual, Rusty!

You’re welcome, Julio!👍
Amazing lesson! Thanks for that! 🙌🏻
Much appreciated! And you’re very welcome. Thanks for watching.✌️
Cool stuff, Rusty!
Lovin' the rockin' sound!
You're such a good teacher. It makes a big difference: you can make a BIG sound, and then you show how "easy" it is. (It's "easy" but it takes practice!)
Also lovin' the guitars you're usin'.
(I wish I had even one of them, esp one that's light weight, cuzza my neck problems, lol.)
And also lovin' that you have "The Good Book" in the background, under the light...even though you don't call attention to it. We all know it's there.
Because, since it is what it is, it speaks VOLUMES by itself, just being there!
😅 thanks again for 'nother great lesson!
Rock on!
👌 👍 🤪
Thanks so much, Jeff! I have been blessed with some nice equipment! And that’s exciting that you notice the Bible!!! it’s always good to hear from you. Talk to you soon, my brother.👍
Great lesson Brother
Thanks so much ET!!! Talk to you soon, my friend✌️
Fantastic lesson Rusty
Thanks a lot Glen! Good to hear from you! Happy new year buddy👍
Thank you Rusty! This is the lesson I've been waiting for. The backing track and the style you taught today is worthy of emulation. I picked up the guitar at 60 and at 74 get most enjoyment from improvisational playing to backing tracks.
You’re welcome! Yes, improvising is at the heart of most guitar players. And the most fun. Thanks a lot for checking out my videos. Happy new year.👍
thanks, my brother - always great lessons
You’re welcome Joel! Thanks buddy👍
Thank you again Rusty.😊
