I thankfully found your channel and immediately subscribed, freaking awesome lesson but I'm having difficulties understanding how to walk it down in part 4 of the sequence, any chance you can give a breakdown of that?
I think it’s just the minor pentatonic scale from the B string to the D string. So 2 notes (down up) on the B (C and A) Two notes (D&U) on the G string (G and F) Two notes on the A (D&U). A and G. Then start again with the G# on the A string @ 11th fret A string

Your videos are super helpful and inspiring, thank you! Curious how you’re feeling this rhythmically; 1/16th notes? starting on down or up beat? Thanks again!
Thanks for the lesson. I’ve been trying to figure out a speed run like this. The pattern is great. I notice you don’t use your pinky. Do you think it’s faster that way just using the stronger 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fingers?
Barry! Hi man…thanks for reaching out😊 You can do what you like obviously…and there’s some positions where the use of pinky is beneficial. But yes…when possible I prefer to use the same fingerings on sequenced licks like this as it’s easier to learn one series of movements. Obviously it’s best to be capable of both, but if I had to pick one fingering…it’s IMR over using all four digits.
@@jacksnax4guitar460 awesome, thanks a lot and makes sense. Maybe you mentioned this at the end, but I suspect you recommend using a metronome too…? And speeding up over time
@@jacksnax4guitar460 sorry to bug, but one last question that I should probably be able to figure out but would appreciate your perspective. Is this considered a lick too? And does it work with a major pent too? I know especially in blues you can mix major and minor over chords.
Hey! Thanks…those are the stock pickups from ‘66. I think they’re PAT stickers or TTops. Not sure…the pickup covers have not ever come off. They have more midrange than the pickups in my other ‘66 335 seen in a bunch of other videos. EB slinky 10s on that guitar Cheers! JD
@@jacksnax4guitar460 Awesome man thanks for the response! One more question, I've got all the notes down for this sequence but my alternate picking is not up to speed like yours. Do you have any video lessons on building alternate picking speed? I feel like I can alternate pick faster with certain shapes and scales but its worse with others; such as simply ascending on the pentatonic scale. Cheers!
@@TheXtaticShock That’s pretty common. What you need is to examine your right hand (assuming the left can keep up) and figure out if you’re rotating enough. The technical term thrown around is “pickslanting” this can be done in two directions. Often this is occurring without the players knowledge. So if you’re good at descending 2 nps lines chances are you’re an upward slanted picker. Just rotate your hand (like you were starting your car) and pick in that position as you ascend (starting with a downstroke). All this is much easier to tech in person rather than in writing. Ben Eller and Troy Grady videos will help you understand if this doesn’t help. Good luck!
Very skillful playing and great stuff for studying, but unfortunately no good synchronisation between pictures and sound. Is irritating when having a closer look to your right hand.
I’m sorry you’re having trouble… however, I just watched, and it seems fine to me. Perhaps you can try again? I’ve had this problem from time to time on other peoples videos. Cheers, JD
@@jacksnax4guitar460 Thanks for your quick answer! But it is no serious problem, I got a lot of useful ideas from your clips! If you want to check it, go to min 1:25, you say (and probably do so) "I start with a downstroke", but I see an upstroke . But as you wrote, it happens also on other videos.
@@GuitarRailroader Sorry brother…looks perfect over here. I will say I start moving my hand from below the A string in that instance, perhaps that’s what you’re seeing as an upstroke? But rest assured it’s a downstroke followed by an upstroke. I just slowed it down to 50% and it’s as stated and in sync.

Thank you very much George!😊

Yes 16ths starts on downbeat with a downstroke
Thank you!

Awesome stuff man! What pickups are in the 335? Also what gauge strings are you using? Thanks!
