This seriously needs to be a series it’s so good
Learning scales is a must in playing the guitar I just learned scales a couple months ago and trust me it’s so much easier
I find what really helped me was playing the scales over a backing track in the same key, that was what changed it from playing a scale on sequence to being able to improvise.
Matthew P if you need too find a song key use tunebat. It’s an amazing website
what scales? and what do they do
Not really
Thanks for making this man, I clicked on this and knew that you would be one of the best to listen to because of the sheer amount of music content you pump out. Your covers are a godsend man, thanks for the videos👍
all gear used is in the description, hopefully this was helpful and brought you through some interesting techniques and the theory behind them. thank you for watching. the songs in the video are: the wonder years - woke up older, neck deep - cant kick up the roots, knuckle puck - swing, the story so far - framework
What tunning did you use in the video
do you have tabs for these parts? also great video!
Are you currently in a band?
Thanks, Blake! I've been looking for something like this for a while, really helps me understand what they're doing. Giving it a go now.
Thank you so much for this video, lots of useful information! Will definitely check out the rest of your channel.
You do not know how long I have been waiting for a video like this.
Time to break out the strat
Time to break out the Tom delonge strat
Blake these are great videos. Keep up the work!!
Thanks man, very useful and informative
More stuff like this! Very helpful!
This was really helpful!
my favorite pop punk leads are the hammer-on pull-offy ones in songs like the intro of staircase wit and the secondary intro riff in empty space.
with lots of open strings. i suppose this is more popular in twinkly-midwest emo bands but it fits into pop punk well too.
AWESOME AS USUAL! Can you do any of Good Charlotte, any of the first 3 albums?
most helpful video I've seen, great job and thank you
Amazing video
As a Rhode Islander, I appreciate the Providence College books and stuff you rep. Keep rockin bud!
go friars
Great video
More videos like this if possible! Maybe some acoustic rhythms and leads? (unless you already have those videos?) 👍 🤘
Dude your guitar tone is absolutely epic! How do you get about it?
thank you!
This is a great video, would love to see a rhythm approached one
thanks man
awesome tutorial, that lead octave riff was absolute killer 🤘
Great video! And awesome personality! I usually dread listening to someone explain guitar stuff, but you had food energy and a chill vibe. I had fun checking out your video. Please make more how to's! I am now subbed 🤘
(Also, cool thing including your Gamertag. It would be pretty chill if you played rainbow six siege)
Great video. Thank you! Did you go to law school? I used to work at a college bookstore and recognize those books below your sign.
The 4th and 5th ways are using a lower note over a higher string and clusters utilizing diads and triads. -=80)
Any chance you can tab out what you played for each part?
what play style would blink be considered out of the 3 u mentioned
See what I do is I’ll search up a song on tunebat to find the song key and I’ll just play along those scales in order to find the notes it’s a lot easier then tabs. Tabs may be easy to find the notes but it’s a lot funner if you do scales and learn by ear and is also 2 birds with one stone. I’m also a singer to so I use my guitar too figure out vocal notes
Is there tabs for the song you demonstrated in this video?
where is the candle ?? :) good job
Cant Kick Up the Roots is one of the best Neck Deep songs! Love that its in the background
COOOOL
Great video-what song is that @2:15
Kali Dreamer Swing by Knuckle Puck! Incredible song and one of my favorite guitar intros out there!
nice
Can you share the guitar tabs?
Can you make a video on how to write a rhythm part to match a lead?
When recording the rhythm and lead guitars together, do you eq them the same?
yeah in this video they’re just identical for the sake of time and efficiency. if i was doing it for real they’d be completely independent
can someone tell me the song that plays at 2:14
I'm a little confused, I won't lie.
So what are you doing with the octave leads specifically, when compared to just playing the basic 4 octaves?
The 4 octaves is the exact same melody pitched an octave higher basically. The same empty space that’s left from the rythym guitar will still be there, lead guitar should make fill the mix more but not only that, add to and harmonize the rythym melody. Use more notes than the rythym guitar on the off beats

He looks like the film director character from Mulholland Drive.
How do you find new music to listien to? And how could I get my own band's music to your ears?
I normally look for pop punk news / release blogs and check back once a week, scroll through and see what's new. Spotify does me well with the discover feature and Mondays weekly playlist. Also check out reddit.com/r/poppunkers, hope this helps.
@@MatthewPusey44 Thanks mate!
@@peik5569 No problem buddy, rock on
look through bandcamp.com. follow youtube recommendation rabbit holes. The best finds are the small bands no one really knows.
Could anyone plese tell me what song he used as for backsound(all songs in this video)
Thanks
A
Lot
i shazam’d it, it’s woke up older by the wonder years
what amps do you use? and if you use digital amps like bias fx what settings would you recommend as a starting block
0:00 Name Of Song?
Woke Up Older by The Wonder Years
how to get me to watch teh video: have a paramore picture as the background. i still liked the video tho :)
SelinaNotSelena while Paramore is a decent band, the singer in most songs is literally just talking about boys and boyfriends and it makes me want to die
Sounds like most of Sum 41😅. Great tutorial nonetheless
@blakemcconnel are you in law school? I noticed those books in the background and they look like my law school books.
yes those are some of my old 1L books. i'm currently a 2L
what university do you attend? @blake
@BlakeMcConnell how did you eq the guitars
What tuning are you using I'm trying to follow but your guitar sound totally different to mine I'm in Drop D DADGBE. Edit: your actually in D standard not Drop D so to follow you'd have to tune to C# G# C# F# A# D#
I was wondering the same, I heard it announced as “drop-D” but it sounded off when I tried to follow along. It sounds to me more like drop-D tuned down a half step?
"You're actually in D standard"
"To follow you'd have to tune to (proceeds to list drop C# tuning)"
What kind of drugs are you on dude
Just listen to the Buzzcocks
dude you need subtitles!
The sample parts you put together for the video sound WSTR as fuck
i just realized the single note one is super similar to lonely smiles by wstr
You a law student? I’m pretty sure we have the same Property book lol
yes, i’m a 2L currently. thankfully forever finished with property
@@BlakeMcConnellMusic Hell yeah man! 1L right now, in the thick of property. Stoked to see another pop punk lovin future attorney out there
:)
In 5:14 , what's name the technic?
Help! I love punk but every time I play it I get death core instead. Please end me!
Sorry I mean help
No I don’t
ua-cam.com/video/4Pjfr_MLeSY/v-deo.html this might help
„...Is using the Major Scale“
*laughing in Sum 41*
Can I hire you to play guitar on a punk EP i'm writing?
Can you add the subtitle on indonesian language ??
It’s a no-brainer. I’ve been playing guitar for 15yrs and I’ve always been playing the same genre. When I hear “pop-punk” I think... NOFX, MxPx, Blink-182, Green Day, Allister, Rise Against and many more. You know you begin to date yourself when all the bands who people now claim as “pop-punk” are not what you know of as such... I’m 32yrs old now. All these new bands don’t have that sound
Great video, but... the background music is just too loud, it's making it hard to really understand everything you're saying.
You in law school or something? Can’t help but notice the law books.
I'm a bit tired of metal , time for some pop punk!

Dude you need to add tabs in your video its annoying just listening and trying to follow along
