LEAD TIP GUITAR HOW TO PRACTICE!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- In todays lesson I will give you some lead guitar tips for better practice. We can play and practice lead guitar by locating the root note of the song key. I will teach some ways to play lead guitar around the root note. Early on, I did not think about using the root note this way. I could have saved years of practice. Because I was playing up and down full scale patterns over and over but it really did not help improve my guitar playing. It’s so important to practice the right things on Guitar. This intermediate guitar lesson will help you connect the dots in so many areas of your lead guitar playing. I know many of us did not practice the guitar very efficiently, but using this root note concept, we can easily create an awesome blues rock lead guitar solo. we will be much more confident as we improvise up and down the fretboard. We should be learning this as a beginner. Then it becomes second nature as we get into intermediate and advanced level Guitar playing.

Let me know how you practice when you pick up the Guitar! And I hope you get some great practice ideas from this lesson! Thanks everyone for all your support👍
Well, I’m medically retired now, so I usually go into my little home studio and practice for hours because of all these strokes I know who I used to be and I’m trying to get back to where I was
@@user-bv1hq3hn7n Sorry to hear about your health! I know you’ll keep playing that guitar! Thanks a lot for watching my lessons👍
How I practice? Simple! I instantly get overwhelmed with all the stuff I need to work on/internalize/experiment with. Then, I do some spider exercises. And end up playing some cover songs.
@@jasonwojcik Man, does that sound like me a while back. The biggest thing that helped me move forward quickly was learning the fretboard. Everything on the guitar starts to make sense once you do that. And it can be as simple as just learning the root notes of the chords and scales that you use all the time. And build from there. Keep working at it, Jason! And have fun! Catch you later👍
I start off practice by playing "Kid" by The Pretenders. I read that Johnny Marr does that - he says it uses all the elements you need in a guitar piece to warm up. I'm at the point where I play it without looking at the fretboard. That is something I would love to be able to do - play without looking at the fretboard. I'm not sure if it's helping. :)
This is exactly what I practice..I spent decades learning other ppls songs but since 3yrs ago I decided to learn fretboard and rusty is one of the GREAT teachers.......👍
Yes, WJ! Learning the fretboard is the best thing you can work on! It makes everything else makes sense. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch my videos.👍
same here! spent decades doing that exact same thing. being in busy cover bands, I never got the time to work on myself until covid. now i found rusty, too. seems like a great teacher!
@stevennetzel 👍
I Agree. ✨️✨️✨️🙏
This Is what I would call
A Musical Genius. 🙂. I have
Been going in Circles for a Few
Months. Looking at Many guitar instructors.
Many are very good. Many are teaching
Their way, "Others Songs" I Realized as much as I loved
Zep and 60s 70s, 80s 90s etc etc etc Band's. I have No Interest in
Being a Copy Stray Cat. Your comment here
Brought it Full Circle. Why take Days, Months And Years to
Copy Any One? When, Especially when You Don't Know The Basics.
Then when We Know, Use The Fundamentals We Create
Our Own Musical Magic. 🔮🎩🔮
We Are All capable of this. This is were Rusty
Shines like The North 🌟 Star. He's Teaching Us
To Be Our Own Creator. Like My Self. I can
Not Be a Follower. I AM Leader. 💎💎💎🙂
@@danabiondo9243 Thanks Dana 👍
I'm 59. I've been teaching myself for 3yrs. 1. Finger exercises.2. Scales by position. Every key. Every mode. 3. Pentatonic scales. Every key. Every position. 4. Rhythm playing. Chord changes. Progressions. 5. Song practice. 6. Improvising over backing tracks from youtube. I do this 5 days a week. 1 to 2 hours per day.
That is an organized way to practice! I love it! That will really help you keep moving forward. I appreciate you checking out my lesson today! I hope you have fun with that Guitar this weekend. Thanks.👍
@rustysguitar5143
This lesson as well as others are extremely helpful and informative. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.
Being older and just starting out presents some obstacles. Working 50 plus hours a week, as well as other responsibilities. But this is something I've always wanted to do, so it is cliche, but better late than never.
@@georgederiziotis9518 Thanks so much, George👍
@@georgederiziotis9518 Well, said George! But for me, the older, I get the more, I love playing the guitar! And I know you will, too!👍
Never played but got it in my blood had wrong addictions music is where it’s at!Amen
Thanks for watching! Happy Sunday🙏
This is lead guitar gold...........for years I just noodled through scales.......since I started watching your tutorials I've been learning all the notes on the fretboard and the caged system combining all these elements to improvise solos and my playing has improved a thousandfold..........thanks Rusty Paul from Ireland
I really appreciate this message Paul it is a lot of work putting these videos together but when I read a comment like this, it’s all worth it! Thanks so much for supporting my channel and have a good weekend Paul👍
Nice share lesson happy day
Thanks for watching! I hope you liked the lesson👍
I can finally find the ever elusive "rut" note! Thanks for all you do Rusty!
I find the rut note now and then, but then I lose it😂 Thanks a lot Tim! Have a rockin weekend buddy👍
I have a Playlist of 20 songs that I practice, rhythm, and I love using backing tracks with the triads to practice scales and lead.
Nice! That’s a fun way to practice! You are learning and also having a blast doing it! Thank you for the feedback. Talk to you soon buddy.👍
Thanks Rusty I appreciate it.
You’re welcome, CJ! And I appreciate your support buddy! Thanks 👍
Learned this from books decades ago... wish this video was around back then. Would've saved me a bunch of time lol
You’re right! We needed videos like this many years ago! Thanks a lot for watching my lesson! 👍
Hey Rusty, I always initially noodle going through the Modes and Scales, but currently spending a lot of time on Intervals, and especially Chord Tones.
Now 67 years old, and following my retirement, I added learning the guitar to my "bucket list" several years ago, and enjoying every second.
Thanks for your work on our behalf my friend, greetings from Wales, have a great Christmas!!!
Greetings from Chicago, Phil! You are definitely working on some great things. The older I get the more fun I have playing the guitar. And it sounds like you do also! Have a great weekend and let’s talk soon.👍
Your teaching is just what i have been looking for. Thanks so much,love that Bible too.
I’m really glad to hear that! I’m glad you noticed the Bible! I do read it every morning in my studio! Thanks for the comment! Catch you later🙏
That is what I practice and have since 84 , love your phrasing
Cool Brian! Thanks so much for checking in! I hope you have a fantastic weekend, Brian😎
Amazing!!! Thanks... I just do drills still: chop builder, stetina, i will start blues trovatto, and that's it... You inspire me
You are working on the right things, David! I’m glad you like the lessons! Thanks for watching my videos and have a great weekend👍
When I practice I often think about some issue that I need to work on (e.g., connecting root notes - thank you, Rusty) then I play some Roy Buchanan music that I feel comfortable improvising to (Sweet Dreams, Five String Blues, Soul Dressing, Greensburg Onions, etc) and I use that as context for practicing.
It’s good to practice on specific things. But I like that you go into some riffs and licks from players that you like. For me seeing how all that stuff connects is fun. Rock on BTBB! Talk to you soon, bro😎
That was the best idea for practice I've seen yet
I’m glad to hear that! And I’m happy to help! Thank you for checking in and have a great weekend👍
Thanks, David👌
I tend to practice scales (diatonic and pentatonic) and arpeggios. As a result, my solos tend to sound like a bunch of scales and arpeggios. Your videos are helping me to be more creative.
Cool! You’re working on the right things! I’m glad the lessons are helpful! Thanks for leaving comment👍
Thanks to your lessons and videos i have been able to understand Ricky Medlock's style and phrases alot better.
That’s awesome Ron! I love me some Ricky Medlock guitar man! I’m glad you got something from the lessons! Talk to you later👍
Casually sliding them 6ths in there was a great touch, because that's what I'm currently learning. That's what I like about your channel -- you don't dumb things down.
Nice! There’s so many things that we can add when we practice this way. Really good to hear from you Crash! Keep on rockin my brother 😎
This is what I try to do all the time, this lesson exposed some weaknesses I had. 👍
Nice! I’m glad you got something from the lesson! Enjoy your Sunday🙏
Really appreciate your lessons, Rusty!! While you make it look easy, I’ve been working at it and making some slow progress. I’ve been playing for several years but unfortunately never worked much on “lead”. Thanks so much for all you’re doing!!!
Hey Craig, thanks for checking out the video! Just start adding these elements to your playing. And you’ll be playing some lead guitar in no time. I appreciate all your support support Craig. Thanks.👍
Outstanding, as always, pointing out things to help,every time!
Right on Mike thanks so much for this positive feedback! Talk to you soon buddy👍
Well I finally found you after 40 years lol. When I practice is what you preach and it's gotten so much better unbelievable. Yes the cage system with connecting the cords and notes. Can't wait to play with this when I get home from work. Thank you Rusty appreciate you.
Glad to hear it Marc! I hope you have fun with it. Let me know how it goes. Have a great weekend. Thanks.👍
I practice every day 4 55 hrs a day Tanks you so much for youres tips Rusty's !
I’m glad to hear that! Thanks for your support! Happy New Year 👍
I think at this point, I need to person up and do NOTHING except learn the notes on the fretboard. No more excuses. No more whining. No more distractions. Love these lessons Rusty! Thank you for making guitar playing fun!
Hey Jason, I think I already said this in a previous comment but the better you know the fretboard the better guitar player you will be. Everything will make more sense as you learn the fretboard and to visualize it. For me, it started with just learning the root notes of the chords and scales. I used all the time. and it will grow quickly from there. I hope you spend some time with this important piece of guitar playing. Always good to hear from you Jason and have a great weekend.👍
Tremendous Tip !. Thanks/Gracias.
Cool Kal! Good to hear from you. Enjoy your Sunday.🙏
My daily practice consists of 5-10 minutes warm up (usually playing double stops in whatever key), then lead improv (concentrating on fixed interval patterns & runs all over the neck), rhythm exercises, and working on fluid, melodic solo playing (combing chords & lead). Recently I've been getting into 6th and 9th harmonic fills and these are pretty awesome in a Neo-Soul and Ambient context. It's important, imho, to always practice in a musical context and work on technique/dynamics in every single practice session. I have to integrate ear training exercises more consistently at some point. And of course, whatever Rusty's got goin' on. Happy weekend.
That’s awesome Tito! I might have to take a few lessons from you! You’re working on some great stuff! I appreciate the feedback here. Have a great weekend my friend.👍
@@rustysguitar1 Haha, I doubt that, Rusty. Many roads lead to Rome. Your routes are direct and well maintained, that’s,the strength of your channel… and your personality.
@tito.tarantula I appreciate that a lot Tito! Thanks for your support to my channel buddy👍
Yeah! Rusty is the best teatcher. I love your way of teatching and your song is great. Thank you & merci from France. Keep it up!
I appreciate that! Greetings from Chicago! Thanks for watching my lessons👍
Hey my friend, great solo ideas you always give us, thank you so much, peace!
I’m glad you like the ideas Rafa! And you’re always welcome! Hope you have a great weekend buddy👍
Another great lesson! Loved the chromatic walk-ups.
Glad to hear it Stew! Always good to hear from you! Thanks buddy👍
Ok Rusty, you did ask, here’s mine.
I’m a 3 month newbie to the guitar. My bass playing pro son gave me a Maton acoustic he had bought new, years ago.
I practice the first 7 letters of the alphabet chords and can change them ok now.
I’m determined to learn the tabs for Apache and learning the riffs. I will start to play along with Guitar Pro 8 soon.
Hank, watch out.
Cheers.
Thanks a lot for the feedback. It sounds like you’re determined to have fun with that Guitar! Keep working at it! Thanks a lot for checking out the video👍
Man Rusty, your videos are gonna be on UA-cam forever with massive views due to such great content!! Merry Christmas to you & your family!
Thank you so much Karen I’m starting to enjoy making these videos because of the positive feedback. It’s always good to hear from you and I hope you also have a merry Christmas and happy new year! But I will talk to you before that. Thanks, Karen.❤️
Hey rusty , I do now as well, I've been watching you for a few months, and my command of the neck has improved immensely, ( with all your help) , I've always known and practiced all positions of the pentatonic scale (5 positions) and by that was familiar with alot of notes...
However it wasn't until...YOU .pointed out to take the fragments of each and add movement, also connecting the triads was really enlightening,., along with all of your advice on the major scale, The 3rds , The 5ths,. And all of your input...I would have to say the biggest difference from your approach is that you take small "deliberate " bites and your calm and patient demeanor is welcoming. Please don't stop doing what you do....Thank you .
Thank you so much for this comment! Your words make me excited, but also humble. It’s time-consuming making these videos but reading your message makes it all worth it. I hope we can keep getting better on the guitar together! I hope you have a great week. Thanks.👍
Yeah, that's kinda what I was doing the other day...go to the second root in major pentatonic then back using the minor pentatonic. I also like to hit the 2 and sometimes the flat 6. Cool stuff.
Good to hear from you QBRX! It is a good way to practice. And yes, there is so many things you can add to a lesson like this. It sounds like you’re rockin! Thanks for leaving a comment. Talk to you soon.😎
Excellent Lesson - What Fun!
Nice! Thanks for checking in Charles! I hope you enjoy your Sunday🙏
Perfekt🎸🎸🎸
Many thanks👍
Great lesson thanks. Those rut notes are mighty useful, for sure.
I think a lot of beginner, intermediate players neglect, the RUT notes 😂 For me. The root notes are a great tool to navigate and visualize the fretboard. Thanks a lot James and have a great Sunday.🙏
Brilliant as always Rusty👍👍🎸🎸
Thanks a lot Tony! Have a great weekend bud👍
For some time I have been learning to connect the chords/chord tones with the scales and learning the notes and trying to be melodic while doing so. I find studying how others have done it in songs a great help. Have a great weekend Rusty.
You are definitely working on some great things Ray! And yes, I love breaking down, licks and riffs from our guitar heroes. Seeing how they were built. I need to do more of that in my lessons because it relates to the music we love. Thanks for all your support to my channel and have a great weekend also.👍
Hey Rusty, I have been a Tim Pierce Clone for a long time, however, am gaining a totally different perspective of the fret board from you. Thank you, Bert Clark
Tim Pierce is such a great player and teacher! But it is so good to see you over here Bert! Let’s keep working on this stuff together! Talk to you soon👍
Excellent - What fun!
Cool! Glad you had fun with it! Have a great Sunday🙏
you explain very clear i practice this week like yours lessen
I’m glad to hear that! I hope you have fun with it! Have a great weekend. Thanks 👍
Thanks Rusty, I’m really gunna study this lesson it packs a punch . If I can get this down I feel like I’m getting somewhere.
You got this Tony! This will help many other lessons Make sense also. Thanks buddy.👍
I usually practice scales - boring but being 85 my arthritis makes bar chords that I used to easily play difficult - trying to relearn skills not used in 40 years doesn’t help lol- I hope u continue with these lessons ❤
That’s awesome Dave! Hopefully we can make some new connections on the fretboard! Exciting stuff! We will definitely talk soon. Thanks man.😎
Sounds fantastic! Great tip and video, Rusty.👍🎸🎶 Happy Friday!😊
Happy Friday to you Colourful Girl! Thank you for stopping by❤️
Awesome Rusty , You ROCK Brotherman :)
I appreciate that Daniel! Thanks a lot buddy!👍
Rusty, my breakthrough started happening from another video that taught me how to self-generate my own blues rhythm with riffs. It happened to be in the key of G. I learn EVERYTHING from that key now. And now because of you, all I’m seeing and feeling is G arpeggios, triads, slides and bends. And now I’m hearing these scales and riffs the way you guys tirelessly teach. I could intellectually understand but my ears had to catch up.
Hey Cathy, I like the way that you are learning the guitar! You are working on things that will take you long way on your Guitar journey. I’m glad my lessons are helping. I appreciate you sharing part of that journey in this comment. Thanks a lot and enjoy your weekend.❤️
I seem to practice the same thing over and over! I need more of what you suggest
Little by little, start, learning the fretboard. That will help you in every part of your guitar playing! Mostly having more fun! Thanks so much for checking out my lessons Brian talk to you soon.👍
you the man my friend great work - keep rising !
Good to hear from you, Rick! I hope all is well with you and your family! Thanks a lot for checking in buddy👍
Just wanted to say, you are the , I mean the best teacher, you don't know me but I know your teachings better everyday, thanks to you, 🙏 I'm up every morning at 4:30 start practice with you at 5:30
after a cup o coffee sometimes I practice 3 hrs then off to work,
Thank you for everything brother 🎉🎉🎉 my advice to everyone is,
Gobble up all Rusty teachings,
Love his style,..
I love that practice schedule! I’m glad I can be part of your Guitar journey! Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos Charles! Enjoy the rest of your weekend and let’s talk soon👍
Hi Rusty, I practise by re-watching saved UA-cam videos. For example, I am still going through your amazing David Gilmour lesson. But that said, I do realise that I need to keep practising learning the notes on the fretboard. Thanks for this video! All the best from Belgium 👍🏻🇧🇪☀️
That is great William I do the same thing. I save lessons all the time. Sometimes I can only learn so much and then have to pick it back up later. Sounds like you do the same thing! Greetings always from Chicago my friend. Enjoy your weekend. Thanks.👍
@@rustysguitar1 thanks Rusty 👍🏻😎☀️
@@Williamk492 👍
Rusty this is great stuff. Been playing for a while now but this really is helping .
Thank you so much, keep up the good work👍
Andy fro Manchester UK
Greetings from Chicago Andy! I’m happy to help! Thanks brother 👍
Very informative sir.
Happy to hear it Ronnie! Thanks bro 😎
Thanks Rusty!
You’re very welcome! Thanks for checking in and have a great weekend👍
Hi Rusty, great lessons. I practice by learning and playing through a couple of songs, then always play blues to backing tracks, trying to use different key progressions. I struggle to get away from the same repetitive licks though, also struggling to get faster. Although if I think back a year I’m much faster and more accurate, I really do need to take heed of your learn the fretboard message, I know it’s holding me back. I tried to learn string by string but it’s not going in and staying in…Thanks for the fantastic lessons!
Sometimes moving forward in our Guitar playing just seems like we’re moving at a turtles pace! You are working on the right things. And it sounds like you’re moving forward for sure! And the fretboard is key. The better you know it the more everything else makes sense. Thanks a lot Phil for your feedback. Have a great weekend buddy.👍
Love all your videos Rusty! So much insight packed into such a small timeframe! 💯
Right on! I’m glad you like the videos! thanks for leaving a comment and have a great weekend👍
Thanks!
Hey David, thank you so much for the support to my channel! I really do appreciate it and it means a lot to me. Let’s talk soon.👍
This is full of practice brilliance 👍🏻 your knowledge and the way you teach is outstanding my friend. As for when I pick up my guitar, for practice I go to ‘The Rustmeister’ speak soon buddy 👍🏻🏴🎸
Hey Dave, I’m really glad you like my lessons! It means a lot to me! Always good to hear your feedback, my friend! I hope you have a great upcoming week. Talk to you soon buddy.👍
Rusty, this is timely!
I've been practicing lately with sliding back & forth between (what i think of as) 4-note Pentatonic boxes.
I'll add bends here & there as well.
This is a great extension to that practice!
What else am I practicing?
Well, I've been working on learning "I know a little" by Skynyrd (Steve Gaines), and a few others. I know most of the licks, I'm practicing picking most of the notes (instead of relying on pull-offs) to improve my speed.
Thanks, dude! Keep up the excellent videos!
Right on Jeff point those are great things to work on! I’d love me some Steve Gaines Guitar cool stuff! Thanks a lot for watching my videos! Have a great weekend buddy👍
Very similar, I connect 3rds.
That’s a great way to do it! Thanks for watching👍
Rusty is a rock star ⭐
Right on Peter! Thanks! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🙏
Another great lesson Rusty! I like how the chord changes are well outlined, sounds great!
I’m glad you got some thing from the lesson! I appreciate the comment and have a great week👍
Yes, I love this lesson! Thank you very much Rusty. This lesson opens up new creativity and makes our licks more lively. Cheers from Indonesia.
Greetings from Chicago, my friend. Good to hear from you! I’m glad you liked the lesson. I hope you have a great weekend.👍
Rusty, I love your lessons. Your knowledge and enthusiasm is infectious. Thank you so much for your hard work in making these videos - Very much appreciated. Jon.
Thanks Jon! I’m happy to help! I appreciate your comment! 👍
Connecting to roots.....what a very sensible thing to do!! Generally when I first pick up my guitar, acoustic or electric, I tend to pick a random backing track and see what I can come up with. Mostly I have no particular aim in mind, and sometimes it sounds fantastic, but mostly it doesn't!! Then I start over with chord and scale (and mode) practice, and I end with continuing to learn a song or solo that I'm currently working on. BUT, learning root note position is very important and what you have just shown is a great way to learn and remember where the roots are. I can't remember them by position alone, but remembering them via a musical method is so much easier, not to mention so much more fun!! What a good tutorial Rusty.....Thank You :)
It sounds like you cover a lot in your practice time. I base all of my playing around the root note. Basically, the root of the chord, the scale, the triad, the arpeggio, etc. if you know where the notes are located, it really helps the fretboard makes sense. I’m really glad you got something from this lesson. Always good to hear from you my friend! I hope you have a great weekend.👍
@@rustysguitar1 - Yes, my practice time has a lot crammed into it, but I don't always get through the whole lot, it depends what I'm working on. I have a question for you, but it requires a musical answer, so-to-speak. Rather than ask it here, do you have an email address or other way to contact you? If not, I can ask it here, but it just may be easier in private, although it will hopefully end up on your channel in one way or another!.
@realjumper Thanks for the reply. For now I just communicate here on my channel. So I would love to hear your question. Always good to hear from you and I hope you have a great Sunday.🙏
@@rustysguitar1 - I think that I'll just sit on the question for now Rusty, it's no big deal and I understand your preference to keep communication here on your channel. Time for a jam now...have a great week :)
@@rustysguitar1 message received Rusty,,. many thanks, I will send my question when I get back from work. 🚌🙂🎸

Another fantastic lesson Rusty,!!!
Also a great way to practice and learn the fretboard. Keep up the great work. I love it 🎸
Another connection on the fretboard is another step forward. Thanks for checking in Paul! Have a great weekend. Thanks.👍
As always, love your Rut notes Rusty! 😂 Thanks for all you do. Keep these informative lessons coming.
Yes, John, we all need those rut notes 😂 Thanks for the comment and I hope you have a happy Sunday.🙏
Hey Rusty....I accidently stumbled upon you! You should add "Hey Joe - Jimi Hendrix" to the meta tags or the title so we can find you! Great lesson...PS this lesson is way better than the ones I have paid for. Hopefully you will do more videos on Hendrix songs. Please!
Thanks for the feedback Greg! I’m glad you liked the lesson! Catch you later 👌
I'm just starting out on the ukulele (baritone and tenor) and am really trying to learn the fretboard first. I started by learning the notes of the circle of fifths, then major triads. Now I'm learning the circle of fifths progression. I'm going slowly, there's a lot to learn. I just mapped out the major pentatonics, I'll add minor in a little bit.
I was pretty depressed that there are no black keys on my fretboard. So I cut up a postit note and did the next best thing. I put strings on my piano. I've been practicing my chord inversions, either on the piano looking at the fretboard, or on my fretboard looking at the piano. You should do a video on this method, it would be a good addition. I've shown it to some professors at our Conservatory, they liked it.
Well, I hope you like the lesson! I look at guitar playing a lot simpler than that.
Your lessons are great. I believe the notes are only half of the equation, if you could incorporate the rhythm that makes these licks work alongside the notes your lessons would be the best on the tube.
I appreciate the feedback Danny I will definitely be working on that in my videos! Thanks and have a great weekend👍
Thanks Rusty for your wealth of knowledge, it’s really appreciated. You make it so easy to learn. I have to admit that as soon as I pick my guitar I tend to just start playing with back tracks and avoid a good practice session, so that is probably why I don’t get better. Any advice ?
Hey blues man, thanks for checking out the video! The best advice I can give is to play a chord, and then play part of a scale that relates to that chord. Then play the chord again, and play another part of the scale that relates to that chord. You can do that over chord changes also. And you can also start doing it with a groove. Just tapping your foot or a metronome. Whatever it takes to get better connected with the chords and scales. I hope you have a great great weekend with that Guitar, my friend! Talk to you soon.👍
I just play on top of blues backingtracks
Nice! Happy Sunday🙏
I play like I practice. Never play the same thing twice.
As long as you’re moving forward that will work for you. Thanks a lot for checking out the lesson Mark! Talk to you soon.👍
i’ve never had a lesson so my practice is caos.So i remain at the same level
Thanks for checking in Anthony! I never took lessons either, but the thing that started moving me forward, was learning the notes on the fretboard. Everything started to make sense. Keep rockin buddy. 👍
How can I apply this same concept for Hard Rock and Metal music Rusty?
This concept can definitely work over any style of music. The thing that would be different is the guitar tone and the phrasing. Thanks a lot for checking out the video Mark! later, bro.😎
Rusty, I know basics of guitar (chords, notes on the neck) what kills me is I can't create my own licks or phrases
Hey Kevin, something to work on is technique. Making the notes come alive. Slides, bending, hammer ons and pull offs, etc.. in this video I was just going from root note to root note. You have to have the confidence to know where you’re going on the fretboard. Thanks so much for checking out my lessons. Have a great weekend Kevin.👍
@@rustysguitar1 I know about all the bends hammer ones pull offs & all that I just can't make anything any sound I like
@@kevincopeland935 another thing is that many of us have copied other players until we can create our own sound. Thanks, Kevin.
I get lost. When I set down to play, I never know what to practice. I will just pick around. This I know , keeps me from getting any better. I love playing my favorite songs! However, I just don’t know what to practice, for how long and in what order. I get board and then put it down. It’s not because I don’t love playing, it’s more that I need guidance. I can’t afford lessons so that’s out. So I’m just kind of at a constant stand still. Anyone else like me out there? I’d welcome any suggestions, thanks! 👍
Many many players go through that stuck in the rut feeling. The best advice I have is work on learning the fretboard. A little every day. Even as you play songs. Make sure you’re learning how those songs are put together and what the notes are. The better you know the fretboard the better guitar player you will be. Keep working at it! Let’s talk soon 👍
Hey man, thank you for that, sincerely ! I appreciate you reachin out like that. Yeah I dig that and will begin focusing on it. I’ve ( kinda) been doing that a little but, not consistently so now I will!. I get the “ idea” with how songs are put together, sort of but I’m foggy with the framework. Thanks again friend 👍🤝🥁🎸
@@hustonmann452 Cool! Sounds great 👍
@@rustysguitar1 Hey Rusty, I took your advice. I started small and have begun with my favorite note( key) of E. I’m memorizing where every E note is on the fret board. This , in turn, is also helping me know where all of the F notes are as well. Thank you again for reaching out and for the guidance! Have a good day man!👍
@@hustonmann452 That’s awesome! You will build from there! Keep rockin my friend 👍
Thank you very much. Is that your Bible in the background? Jesus loves you brother!
Glad you noticed the Bible. I read my studio every morning. Jesus loves you too my brother! Thanks.🙏
It’s very useful to practice linear ongoing up and down the neck. A good example of an up-and-down the neck solo is pink Floyd time. Here’s a great lesson on linear practice. ua-cam.com/video/rISQeMmctsc/v-deo.htmlsi=-3hhCwtEj6nmVc-p
Thanks for watching the lesson! Have a great Sunday🙏
I learn songs
Learning songs is a great way to learn the guitar! The next step is learning how those licks and rips are built so you can improvise your own. Not an easy task! Thanks so much for watching my videos and have a great weekend.👍
I always seem to practice the same parts of the songs i know. Feel like this is not helping me and trying to solo never works out. Even if i know what notes sound good together, the timing never sounds like others.
Hey Scott, working with backing tracks and a metronome will definitely help with timing. Improvising with confidence is not an easy task. Keep working at it man! Catch you later. Thanks.👍
@@rustysguitar1 Thank you
@scotthewitt6047 You’re welcome Scott 👍
Honestly, I just stumble on scales. I'm terrible at best.
Keep working on it Michael! Thanks for watching 👌
Man! Great stuff. But you’re falling into the “playing it three times as fast because you’ve already got I in muscle memory”-itis . Please….waaaaaay slower on the demos where you play through the bits as one long phrase
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos! Later ✌️
