Did people seriously complained about you talking to much?! I actually like that you talk with a lot of enthousiasm and the extras gives me more comprehension!
An Em pentatonic scale is a G major scale. The E is the relative minor to G just as A is to C etc, count down 4 notes to the minor from the root. But Major scale requires changing scale shape when changing chords. Play like Dickey Betts and you will get it. Good luck
We live in "everything as fast as possible era". People want one minute tik tok videos to learn everything. Patience is no longer appreciated. I can't believe someone complain about you "talking too much" instead of being grateful for this incredible summary and all your work!!
I agree with Chris M. You don't talk too much. Your videos are of good length (~10-20 min). Your messages are to the point. Your method of communication is encouraging, positive, and enthusiastic. There is much great content in your videos. Finally, the timing of this video is strangely weird. This past Sunday I planned my practice week to cover the blues scale. Your network of spies is quite extensive.
Paul looks so sad at the end of the video, you could say he was feeling... Blue In all seriousness, Paul, you should keep talking. You're very laidback and full of knowledge, it's a joy to hear you talk about what you know and love about guitar
Paul, you are easily one of the most articulate, understandable, and knowledgeable teachers on the planet. Your eloquence paired with your great playing and careful demonstration really makes your video lessons special. I find your verbal explanations super helpful, informative and entertaining. Thanks for another cool lesson!
Math guy here, I know this will maybe go over most people's heads but it's really fascinating and I encourage you to read into it. There is a very good reason why the blue note is the one it is, it's more than just deliberately out of tune, it's about as "out of tune" as it's possible for a note to be. The blue note is the tritone in a minor context and the tritone has a unique property. You see the basic reason why two notes harmonise and sound nice together is because their frequencies are related by a simple ratio. For example a perfect fifth is actually a ratio of 3:2, i.e. in a perfect world (12 tone equal temperament is not generally perfect) the frequency of G2 is exactly 3/2 or 1.5x the frequency of C2. Note that an octave is precisely double the frequency, so C3 = 2 x C2... a nice ratio between notes leads to a nice resonance, the sound waves interfere in a quickly repeating signal and it sounds good to us. A perfect fourth is 4/3. So nice simple ratios give is nice harmonizing chords. Now what about the tritone? Well, that's different. You see 12-TET is a practical approximation of reality that allows us to transpose melodies but assuring that each two successive notes are the same ratio apart (e.g. C to C#, or Gb to G). This is not really true in the world of "just intervals" which is kind of the basis for music. It turns out that the tritone is a completely "fake" note, it doesn't align with any nice ratio. In fact, it happens to be equal to the square root of 2, a well known irrational number. This is for good reason, the tritone is "half way" to an octave, that is, 2 successive tritones (flat 5ths) will be an octave. But remember frequencies don't add, they multiply, so it's not half of 2, its the square root. Anyway, that's why the tritone sounds so particularly disharmonious, it's literally as out of tune as a note can be, in a strict mathematical sense, and that in itself seems to make the note interesting to us. Funnily enough, it might never have existed in pop culture if not for 12-TET, which just happens to us an even number of notes per octave (there are other choices, even 17) and this means it splits the octave perfectly in half, and so the tritone lands PERFECTLY (none of the other notes are perfect) on root 2.
I always admire the people, like you, who grasp music so well intellectually and who also can blast away furiously on an instrument to make sense of it all.
Don't you stop talking! Honestly, you're the best guitar teacher I've seen. Very informative and explain everything in a very easy to understand way. No bull, no filler, just Paul. Keep it up!
You do not talk to much brother! It's very helpful and relevant that you talk while teaching us! You can't be the wonderful teacher that "you are" without talking to us!!! Ty for everything, and don't stop talking my friend.🤘👊
You talking is why I watch your channel. You explain things very well. Including the little nuances. Unlike others channels where they talk and say very little.
And, in 1-4-5 blues, to add extra color, try playing in major over the 1, minor over the 4, then diminished over the 5 and see how that sounds. I think it sounds awesome.
With so many viewers watching, you can't please everyone. It's a law of nature. ;) You just try to please most people and do your best. I think the vast majority of folks who watch your videos, love them. Count me in that camp. Keep it up Paul! Great video!
Paul, I’ve come a very long way in a very short time on the guitar (3 years) and have made lots of progress on improvising on guitar. Your ideas, tips, tricks, techniques, and *talking* have been there throughout this process and I can’t thank you enough man. Cheers 🍻
Your words are perfect -- not too much, not too little. Anyone who really wants to learn just has to stop the video and practice each step that you cover. You are a superb teacher. Thank you.
I'm close to age 52 and I wanted to be a guitar player as long as I can think of. But I never really made it much further then smoke on the water because in my teen ages I always opted for the shortcut. After watching your "Music Theorie" series on YT a couple of weeks ago, I took our old children's guitar from the attic and started playing and exploring as suggested because your explanations already making sense to me! About Eleven days ago, I signed for your beginners course and it's simply wow! The main reason, that I'm quite confident to get it right this time, is your unique way of explaining and talking! Please start talking for ages about everything you want if you like, because I'm sure there is so much to lern from, it's highly entertaining and sometimes it relieves the pain at my fingertips a little! Thanks for all you do, you're an awesome teacher!
I wish you all the luck of the world with the guitar. You are never to old to become a good guitair player.. Nice to read that there are people that begin with guitar on ''older'' age! And btw..never forget age is just a number.. Take care!
@@sergeantdef.3572 Thank you very much, I appreciated your encouraging words! Since I wrote this comment in 2019, things evolved and I'm very happy that I could make real progress. You're absolutely right, age doesn't matter it's all about practicing on a regular base and having a lot of fun. Getting better is a nice side effect...

Sorry for my bad english.. Take care and keep up the good work!
Paul, the way in which you structure and simply scaffold the lesson is superb. As a keyboard player I have learnt so much from you. Many thanks. Greatly appreciated.
Paul, you strike a perfect balance between talking and playing. I never find myself wanting to fast forward past and unnecessary jibber jabber, which I do on many other channels, so you must be delivering the essential information I need to listen to, process and apply. Thank you!
So, I am a self taugh guitarist & I had to figure this relative keys knowledge on my own. It is so amazing to see you emphasizing on these things. This knowledge is gold for session musicians. - session musician :)
Paul, I am 64 and I've been playing for 55 years ,but I haven't played much in the last few years. Your videos have really encouraged me to start playing again. Thanx brother. GBU
This channel and your descriptions are the the key to the lock that has been stopping me from progressing. So many light bulb moments watching and more importantly listening to what you say. Please don’t talk less as the nuggets of why it sounds like it does is gold. Too many people on UA-cam showing off what they can do and not explaining the why behind the sound. If anything... talk more... as a university lecturer of 14 years experience, I can tell you that you teach exceptionally well.. keep it up...
I hate leaving comments but this must be said; mr. Davids, dont change a thing, you dont talk to much at all. When it comes to learning about guitars/music theory/anything related/etc. you are my favorite. I dont say that lightly. You play awesome, teach awesome, and entertain awesomely, please dont dull your videos due to some hating internet troll.
Pauls lessons are fantastic, man. I've learned so much from his videos. If he doesn't already, he should make and sell a full intermediate/advanced guitar course. He's a great teacher.
Definitely do not talk about guitar too much at all. You're passionate about music and that's a blessing. Keep doing you and talking about music. Everyone learns differently. Like me!
Sir, don't go to the option to talk less, 'cause the jealous people wants to downgrade your channel... We likes the way that you talk enthusiastically!
Whoever says you're talking too much doesn't know how UA-cam works. It's not that you're talking too much. It's that they don't know how to turn off something they've heard before or how to skip ahead. Keep talking: it'll give them a chance to figure out how the controls work, and it'll give the rest of us a chance to learn more. Thank you for your helpful videos.
Hey Paul - your soothing sounds and charisma are amazing and empowering - you help to give reassurance to us all that we're learning and growing along with you day-by-day! Thank you for your energy and love that you put into all that you do : ) We feel it!
Paul, don't listen to the idiots who say you talk to much. I come to this channel for your knowledge, but also the fun way you deliver it and explain how and when to use whatever it is you're covering in the video. Much love!
Can't get enough of your channel! Your explanations are so clear. Love the depth you go to and your enthusiasm is contagious. I imagine there are a lot of inspired guitarists out there because of the content you provide. I'm re-inspired after coming across your channel. Cheers Paul ps please do keep explaining everything in depth. You're on point!
Most musician/teachers here can’t keep me focused on the video with my ADHD but you keep them interested always so thanks man. I’ve really learned a lot from you so far.
You’re an amazing teacher my dude. I’ve learned so much from you. You describe all that you demonstrate in detail and it is so much easier to understand. People are going to hate but they’d do anything to have your skill. 🤙🏻 thanks for all of your vids!
Whoever said that you talk to much is wrong. I've always enjoyed your videos for years and never once did I ever think that you talk to much. As a matter of fact, that thought never crossed my mind. Keep making videos the way you want to and if some people don't like it, then they can go take a long walk off a short bridge.
You are clearly my favorite guitar guy on UA-cam. I learned to the play the guitar by ear and never opened a book so I would like to sincerely thank you for all the theory nowledge that you give to me and also to every member of you community. Thanks a lot and keep rocking! 🤘
Great teacher. I was thinking there about the musician who first discovered these uses of alternative blue notes. They must have thought 'What was THAT?!!!!!' and the neighbours must have come running to the house with the same question. And the rest is history... I dearly wish we knew the name of the special genius. He deserves a great monument.
Please don't stop talking so much. You always have such great things to share and are so inspiring with the incredible enthusiasm you have! Don't listen to the haters!
Your talking provides much needed insight and background and is really appreciated!! The impatient, zero attention span people can just double tap to skip ahead
Don't know why people are complaining about you "talking too much". How else are we supposed to learn if you don't explain? These a probably the same people who think theory is for dummies which is because these things are beyond their understanding whilst they're stuck playing powerchords & old tabs & convincing themselves that "theory is for people who can't play". On the contrary theory is for people who can play & want to learn how to play better still. Videos like this are excellent for that purpose, thanks & KEEP TALKING 😁
Paul, I love your videos not only because of your talent for teaching but for you personality. KEEP TALKING! It make you more personable, more enjoyable and entertaining, and it is who you are! Please do not change how you deliver your message. It's what separates you from the other guitar drones.
Paul, Please, please, please ignore all the chipmunks who have nothing better to do than make any form of negative comments, Firstly your English is totally outstanding and secondly thank, thank, thank you for giving your time to show those who seriously want to learn better guitar. I have looked through UA-cam to learn better guitar and cannot understand half of what they say. Purely because they do not explain it properly.. And a BIG THANK YOU for sharing your incredible skills and knowledge. By the way my wife said she could listen to you for hours. and she is not even interested in guitar.. Ha. Thanks again
Mixolydian. The 5th mode of the diatonic scale. The notes are the same as the major scale but with a flat 7 for example C ionian or c major is C D E F G A B C C mixolydian is C D E F G A Bb C
Entering the 4 and 5 chord, target a chord tone or arpeggio licks ( or even the major blues scales of those chords) then go into the minor blues scale of the 1 chord as the chord changes.
THIS RIGHT HERE is golden information! I studied guitar for YEARS, my major in college, made a living for just over a decade playing out, and yet always felt like "I just don't get it I guess" when it came to blues and blues-rock (and that's a bad, BAD thing when you're a Texan!).... If only someone would have pointed this stuff out, in such a clear and concise way as done here.... Dank u zeer
Is he ok? We were pounding Mickys and grinding the coping of a pool when stone broke and teeth flew just as the cops came crashing in, I realize this isn't information a father likes to hear, but... he grabbed the board and spun DNA everywhere and stuck it in the deep end. That was the last I heard tale of Hex. You kids out there will never know what it was like back when sk8ting was a crime, not a sport. well i guess i'll fall back inta diminsiona from my own head tramau just stick that other note in there and younl be jus fine. Loosin a good friend ain' gota be all bad specially when evading the coppers.
I like that you talk. I certainly don’t just want to watch someone jam, and not explain the how and why of how the fret board works. I take lessons in Delaware, when my teacher talks... I listen. Because everything he told me has helped me get better.
Finally a channel that doesnt tell you note for note. Not to say im belittling people who does, but, this way i dont have to skip ahead till someone completes a scale or a lick.
Hello, and Good Day, Paul! Just want to weigh in, and say.. Don’t change ANYTHING about your presentations! I appreciate your LOVE of the instrument, and your willingness to share it with guitarists from all walks, and from all levels - from beginner and on! Keep Up the Great Work!
i'm having a go learning country guitar and I keep thinking of the major scale with the flat third as the country scale along with using the mixolydian pentatonic scale.
We LOVE your talking, as well as your playing. They add up to your teaching, which is very fine and thus we keep coming back for more. Keep up the great work.
I whole heartedly agree ... you DO NOT talk too much. You're lessons and knowledge are "GOLD". Love your channel! Heading over to Patreon to subscribe.
Just when you think he is talking about the most basic topic, there is a little nugget in there that not only sneaks in knowledge I didn’t have, it opens up the flexibility of the “simple “ idea and connects concepts I haven’t put together yet. Love this guy.
You definitely don't talk too much. I mean I already know everything you said on this video yet I enjoyed hearing you explain it. You have a comforting tone which encourages and supports beginners. Keep it up, man. What you're doing is a great job.
I've been playing guitar for over 30yrs and am fairly proficient and I endorse this video. Great tips and presented in such a great, simple and friendly way. Your videos are excellent man!
Hey Paul. My Brain has a knack for picking patterns, & the Guitar, as you'd know, us a series of beautiful patterns. I'd deduced what this video was about when I was 15, & ever since playing leads has always been ab Improvised Solace that I can not live without. It took me another 10 years to realise that what I understood & did on the guitar, was not as readily accessible to the large majority of Guitarists, no matter how sincere they were in their efforts to understand & perform Lead Guitar. You do a a Great Job of Articulating your ideas with a lot of crucial information, but don't overindulge or flood the audience with frivolous details, & thus muddying the waters allowing the message to be lost or misunderstood. I respect your knowledge of Guitar & theory, your passion for passing your gift onto others, & your intense intellect which you've put to great use.
Nooo don't stop talking! The only people who say you talk too much are moody little kids who probably get the same line from their parents. Listening to your knowledge is an honour for all of us, and incredibly educational.
Please don’t change your approach to video making. I find everything you say informative and your subtle humour makes them more enjoyable. Thanks for all you contribute to UA-cam.
Or A major blues. But on the final bar of a 12 bar blues it will normally return to the 5 chord where you can play the A minor scale over this to create tension before resolving back to the the A major scale
A very good scale to use over the V chord is the V in minor pentatonic. So, say you're in a blues in A, the V chord is the E(7), you would play Em pentatonic over it.
You exposition illuminates the contextual framework that opens the door to true understanding. I have been able to greatly accelerate my playing because my fingers start to understand what you’re talking about. Please just carry on. 🔱😎🙏
Did people seriously complained about you talking to much?! I actually like that you talk with a lot of enthousiasm and the extras gives me more comprehension!
He does not fluff his videos with pointless stuff. When he talks, I listen. I never skim through his videos.
anyone who thinks he talks too much would kill themselves watching a musiciswin video lol
@@espenfarstad1697 - He spreads genuine gems, so I listen.
That 1.2M subs proves him right.
I'm gonna file this under "abso-fucking-lutely."
Paul: "... makes it sound like an E minor"
Me *try on my guitar*: sound like an E-diot
Ouch, too real
😂
An Em pentatonic scale is a G major scale. The E is the relative minor to G just as A is to C etc, count down 4 notes to the minor from the root. But Major scale requires changing scale shape when changing chords. Play like Dickey Betts and you will get it. Good luck
Hahaha, With that sense of humour you will go far
Thanks, you make me laugh.
That's real. :)
Noooo Paul you don't talk too much at all, your videos are honestly wonderful don't change! :)
minor pent over major chords in scale
major pent over minor chords in scale
Sanjeev Kabir Singh I agree 100%
exactly!!!!
Anyone that thinks that probably doesnt understand the value of what is being said
I agree because when I start my channel there's not going to be foreplay.
Paul is a tremendous teacher. He explains technical concepts well.
Your character is 70% the reason why I love the channel so much. Don't stop talking obey wan, please 💔
I'm in the same boat. I think you're trying to explain things the best you can. The Why is just as important as How. Thanks for your enthusiasm Paul.
I agree! And IMO 50% of that 70% character emanates from that marvellous beard and hair.
Hair + beard + voice = Paul

the people that say you talk too much are probably the same people that don’t understand the difference between minor and major

There are also people who don’t understand the difference , who think he talks the perfect amount ... well there’s at least one .
Or they don’t know how to listen...
@@boghbayles4637 The difference is on the third ;)
@Wild Eye I'm confused on what your claim is. Who's a moron and what are you rambling on about?
Screw the haters. Talk all you want, Paul. The more you talk, the more I learn. I enjoy learning!
Dude, keep talking, we're learning! Your videos are fantastic, people don't talk about blues enough
Don’t talk about it enough? I want to learn blues because of how many people talk about it
You do a great job.
Shake any tree, 99 critics fall out and one person doing something.

Paul, don't listen to the idiots who say you talk to much. I come to this channel for your knowledge, but also the fun way you deliver it and explain how and when to use whatever it is you're covering in the video. Much love!
Can't get enough of your channel! Your explanations are so clear. Love the depth you go to and your enthusiasm is contagious. I imagine there are a lot of inspired guitarists out there because of the content you provide. I'm re-inspired after coming across your channel. Cheers Paul ps please do keep explaining everything in depth. You're on point!
Most musician/teachers here can’t keep me focused on the video with my ADHD but you keep them interested always so thanks man. I’ve really learned a lot from you so far.
You’re an amazing teacher my dude. I’ve learned so much from you. You describe all that you demonstrate in detail and it is so much easier to understand. People are going to hate but they’d do anything to have your skill. 🤙🏻 thanks for all of your vids!
Whoever said that you talk to much is wrong. I've always enjoyed your videos for years and never once did I ever think that you talk to much. As a matter of fact, that thought never crossed my mind. Keep making videos the way you want to and if some people don't like it, then they can go take a long walk off a short bridge.
I love your voice. It's the primary reason I watch your channel.
me too! :)
You are clearly my favorite guitar guy on UA-cam. I learned to the play the guitar by ear and never opened a book so I would like to sincerely thank you for all the theory nowledge that you give to me and also to every member of you community. Thanks a lot and keep rocking! 🤘
Great teacher. I was thinking there about the musician who first discovered these uses of alternative blue notes. They must have thought 'What was THAT?!!!!!' and the neighbours must have come running to the house with the same question. And the rest is history... I dearly wish we knew the name of the special genius. He deserves a great monument.
Please don't stop talking so much. You always have such great things to share and are so inspiring with the incredible enthusiasm you have! Don't listen to the haters!
Your videos are always epic
Yes gabby
Agree
*takes breath* Thank man! Cheers
Simple and very informative lessons. Don't stop talking, playing, gesticulating - all that things you do, man)
Honestly man I learned more in this lesson than a lot of others I’ve watched. Great breakdown and explanation
Your talking provides much needed insight and background and is really appreciated!! The impatient, zero attention span people can just double tap to skip ahead
Don't know why people are complaining about you "talking too much". How else are we supposed to learn if you don't explain?
These a probably the same people who think theory is for dummies which is because these things are beyond their understanding whilst they're stuck playing powerchords & old tabs & convincing themselves that "theory is for people who can't play".
On the contrary theory is for people who can play & want to learn how to play better still. Videos like this are excellent for that purpose, thanks & KEEP TALKING 😁
You do not talk too much. I like the explanations, and way that you tie things together, and give a real application for musical concepts.
Amen to that man, can't get enough of the Blues it's the essential ingredient for guitar playing
Paul, I love your videos not only because of your talent for teaching but for you personality. KEEP TALKING! It make you more personable, more enjoyable and entertaining, and it is who you are! Please do not change how you deliver your message. It's what separates you from the other guitar drones.
Don't stop talking. We are very appreciative of your knowledge.
Paul, Please, please, please ignore all the chipmunks who have nothing better to do than make any form of negative comments, Firstly your English is totally outstanding and secondly thank, thank, thank you for giving your time to show those who seriously want to learn better guitar. I have looked through UA-cam to learn better guitar and cannot understand half of what they say. Purely because they do not explain it properly.. And a BIG THANK YOU for sharing your incredible skills and knowledge. By the way my wife said she could listen to you for hours. and she is not even interested in guitar.. Ha. Thanks again
Wait, no! Don’t stop talking! Which scale do I use when the rhythm goes to the 5th in the progression?
Probabilmente pentatonica di B-
Go for minor. Major is good mainly on the tonic chord
mixolydian hth.
Mixolydian. The 5th mode of the diatonic scale. The notes are the same as the major scale but with a flat 7
for example C ionian or c major is
C D E F G A B C
C mixolydian is
C D E F G A Bb C
Entering the 4 and 5 chord, target a chord tone or arpeggio licks ( or even the major blues scales of those chords) then go into the minor blues scale of the 1 chord as the chord changes.
THIS RIGHT HERE is golden information! I studied guitar for YEARS, my major in college, made a living for just over a decade playing out, and yet always felt like "I just don't get it I guess" when it came to blues and blues-rock (and that's a bad, BAD thing when you're a Texan!).... If only someone would have pointed this stuff out, in such a clear and concise way as done here....
Dank u zeer
Thats my son's name... Hexaton Bender Mctwist
😂
Is he ok? We were pounding Mickys and grinding the coping of a pool when stone broke and teeth flew just as the cops came crashing in, I realize this isn't information a father likes to hear, but... he grabbed the board and spun DNA everywhere and stuck it in the deep end. That was the last I heard tale of Hex. You kids out there will never know what it was like back when sk8ting was a crime, not a sport. well i guess i'll fall back inta diminsiona from my own head tramau just stick that other note in there and younl be jus fine. Loosin a good friend ain' gota be all bad specially when evading the coppers.
@@8nayrb underated comment lmao
shiner
J o.
I like that you talk. I certainly don’t just want to watch someone jam, and not explain the how and why of how the fret board works. I take lessons in Delaware, when my teacher talks... I listen. Because everything he told me has helped me get better.
I enjoyed the way you broke this down into levels. Very nice! ✌️🤙
Finally a channel that doesnt tell you note for note. Not to say im belittling people who does, but, this way i dont have to skip ahead till someone completes a scale or a lick.
Always good and clear videos Paul! Keep going with lessons like this, love ya!
Hello, and Good Day, Paul!
Just want to weigh in, and say.. Don’t change ANYTHING about your presentations! I appreciate your LOVE of the instrument, and your willingness to share it with guitarists from all walks, and from all levels - from beginner and on! Keep Up the Great Work!
I've combined major and minor scales before, but I've never thought about combining major and minor blues scales... well done!
i'm having a go learning country guitar and I keep thinking of the major scale with the flat third as the country scale along with using the mixolydian pentatonic scale.
You are one of the greatest youtube guitarist. You have no problem to share your knowledge. The world needs more people like you dude.
Listen to Miles Davis' All Blues for a related idea. He plays G7 for the first 4 bars, then goes to G Dorian for the 5th and 6th bar.
We LOVE your talking, as well as your playing. They add up to your teaching, which is very fine and thus we keep coming back for more. Keep up the great work.
Hair out of control, guitar instruction on par... LOVE THIS VIDEO 👊🏼😁
I whole heartedly agree ... you DO NOT talk too much. You're lessons and knowledge are "GOLD". Love your channel! Heading over to Patreon to subscribe.
Love the hair in this vid
Tf are you doing here oompa?
wish i had hair like that, my band would be on top of the charts!
Wtf oompa?
@@willheineman3130 he palys guitar
He must have been reading Tintin
Just when you think he is talking about the most basic topic, there is a little nugget in there that not only sneaks in knowledge I didn’t have, it opens up the flexibility of the “simple “ idea and connects concepts I haven’t put together yet. Love this guy.
You definitely don't talk too much. I mean I already know everything you said on this video yet I enjoyed hearing you explain it. You have a comforting tone which encourages and supports beginners. Keep it up, man. What you're doing is a great job.
Great video! Very motivating, makes me want to pickup my guitar and try it out.
You talking has never been a problem and will never be. Keep on feeding us knowledge. You rock!
Nice, I'll add a G blues scale to Church. We almost always play in G. And we salty. 😁
My first comment to you. You don’t talk too much what you say is great and you inspire us. Keep going. Thank you
Don't listen to the vocal minority, talk as much as you want. Have they got 1.2 million subs? Maybe they should be the ones talking less, not you.
Well said, man!
Well put
well well well, finally 2 mil :D
You have a very soothing enthusiastic voice that makes your lessons easy and fun to learn...keep it up
Great video , Paul) 6 notes in the blues scale and 6 steps how to use it ))is it a coincidence?)
I've been playing guitar for over 30yrs and am fairly proficient and I endorse this video. Great tips and presented in such a great, simple and friendly way. Your videos are excellent man!
I _liturly_ learned some conceptual ideas today. Thanks, Paul!
Hey Paul. My Brain has a knack for picking patterns, & the Guitar, as you'd know, us a series of beautiful patterns. I'd deduced what this video was about when I was 15, & ever since playing leads has always been ab Improvised Solace that I can not live without. It took me another 10 years to realise that what I understood & did on the guitar, was not as readily accessible to the large majority of Guitarists, no matter how sincere they were in their efforts to understand & perform Lead Guitar. You do a a Great Job of Articulating your ideas with a lot of crucial information, but don't overindulge or flood the audience with frivolous details, & thus muddying the waters allowing the message to be lost or misunderstood. I respect your knowledge of Guitar & theory, your passion for passing your gift onto others, & your intense intellect which you've put to great use.
Anyone who is reading this, hope you have a good day
same to you friend!!!
You too :)
Dammit I appreciate that shit my dude!
I'm just about to go to bed, but thanks anyway.
I already had a bad one :|
Please keep talking all you want Paul. Your videos, teaching style & content are all superb!
Thanks Paul! :)
Not talking too much, Paul. Seriously, they don't know what they're talking about. Your words are golden. Keep at it.
Nooo don't stop talking! The only people who say you talk too much are moody little kids who probably get the same line from their parents. Listening to your knowledge is an honour for all of us, and incredibly educational.
Please don’t change your approach to video making. I find everything you say informative and your subtle humour makes them more enjoyable. Thanks for all you contribute to UA-cam.
Brilliant. What key do you play when you go to the E7 (5th) in A scale blues Paul?
Skidders can stay on A minor blues or go to E maj blues
Or A major blues. But on the final bar of a 12 bar blues it will normally return to the 5 chord where you can play the A minor scale over this to create tension before resolving back to the the A major scale
@@jameswallbank1883 ....yep!
@Skidders - You could try the E minor pentatonic. Like all things musical, it doesn't always work, but it's easy to remember.
A very good scale to use over the V chord is the V in minor pentatonic. So, say you're in a blues in A, the V chord is the E(7), you would play Em pentatonic over it.
Don't you dare change how you do your Channel Talk all you want. We need you to be just the way you are. Awesome teacher.
Thank you for your wisdom.
Love your videos man. Keep 'em coming!
You exposition illuminates the contextual framework that opens the door to true understanding. I have been able to greatly accelerate my playing because my fingers start to understand what you’re talking about. Please just carry on. 🔱😎🙏
