Quite amazing how it can take some of us over half a lifetime (or more) to learn something so basic yet exhilarating to accomplish. The lesson perfectly encapsulates the need to slowly sync both hands to the task before racing off into the usual distance while leaving the newly learnt knowledge to flounder into forgetfulness. Made sense to me... Cheers.
This is the best channel of the genre!! 5 star classes and contrary to that fucking Rob Chapman that charges 40 quid for a fucking lesson to watch him shred, you give a nice insight to what your ebooks and videos are about. Well done dude!! Thanks for that! PS I already bought some of your ebooks, great stuff!! :D
Thanks so much!! Yeah man so many internet teachers are out of touch with what people want and are willing/able to afford. It should be: Teaching is number one, and if you can make a little bit of money doing it then that's a bonus.
Finally Someone shows and teaches current A tonal scale arpeggios instead of the freaking pentatonic scale. Bravo I'm subscribing and your theory is spot on, not some rocker BS. Great job as I am playing 48 years we still can learn more Thank You!
Great Video clip! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Riddleagan Blossoming Solo Remedy (do a search on google)? It is a good one off product for mastering guitar scales without the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cousin after many years got amazing results with it.
Recently found your lessons. Over 30 years of pent blues so loving all this content. Gonna grab the book as soon as I get home from work in the morning
Absolutely awesome. I'm 67 years old and this sequences is going to kill my guitar playing. If only I caught on to you two years ago.. Thank you.. I'll say it once and I'll say it again the modes are a killing machine.. I've been on the Lydian mode for 3 months now still along way to go yet... You're the best explanatory I have ever seen teaching guitar.. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Hello do your menus come with soundtrack and tablature.. I'm Neil I'm from Sydney Australia.. I came from Levin not far from Wendy Wellington.. And I met a beautiful red headed ' Welsh girl from wrexham Wales.. I've gone to 2 hours a day practising with the guitar' I have a lot to pick from your brain Cheerio... 💯💯💯💯🎸🎸🎸
Hey Alfred! Big fan of yours here, more or less since about a month ago, I will make sure to get the ebook soon, you can never know enough sequences. Here's a topic that isn't talked about that much and maybe you can s(r)hed some light over: Guitar setups! I saw your introduction video and you mentioned you set up your guitars on your own. Many of us could certainly learn a thing or two about neck setups and changing strings on floating tremolos. Maybe you could charge more for that one since it would be harder to make a vid on the topic; trust me, us bedroom shredders would gladly pay for it! Anyways, thanks for everything you've posted so far, I have your album on constant replay!
Thanks for the truly wonderful comment! I would be hesitant to give a lesson on guitar setups. I have restored and made guitars over the years but I bet people would be quick to say that I'm setting things up slightly incorrectly or that my strings are too high/low buzzing etc. Thanks for listening to my album. I am so pleased. And yeah definitely check out the sequences ebook. It's my best seller by far and is my best product. So much content it's crazy. Be sure to like me on facebook!. I often post up content/licks/tabs/videos that don't appear here on youtube. Including bonus sequences ;)
Quality as always m8. Ive been using linear 4's as a picking exercise for a while now nice to see i stumble on something uselful myself from time to time
mate i had never even heard of the term till this video.Sometimes i just get bored of doing the same thing and try doing something different, like i said sometimes i stumble across things :)
Robert carra I totally agree with you. Sometimes I think wow is the pentatonic scale the only one they know. Harmonic minor and diminished. Are my favorite.
Alfred potter guitar, can you make another video lesson on scale sequences showing a lot of different patterns used in rock music by rock guitarist have used
@@AlfredPotterGuitar i am a beginner intermediate guitarist learning the 5 minor pentatonic scale shapes, what other courses do you recommend me to get in order of importance? Thanks.
This ebook i actually designed for beginners and intermediate players. But the absolute best course is my ebook "Lead Guitar Practice Methodology". It teaches everything about technique and practice.
Alfred Potter Guitar Good! I've been playing for over a decade, and I can say for a fact that this kind of stuff is REALLY easy to overlook when playing. You just want to noodle, you know? Most want to play that Metallica riff or that Eric Johnson solo, but it's the THEORY and the modes/scales/sequences that really matter.
Alfred Potter Guitar Agreed. Without actually sitting down and having the discipline to learn these things, you may never learn to create artistically beautiful music. Sadly, for the last decade, I haven't had said discipline, but now I feel I do.
It sure is. If you want to see how I use these and blend them together, check out the more recent video here: ua-cam.com/video/z_Awjvax-Rk/v-deo.html&pp=ygUYYWxmcmVkIGtpbGxlciBzY2FsZSBydW5z

Hi Alfred l was wondering if you are a private Teacher ? And also have you thought of having a scale, pentatonic, sweep, neo classical book published ? As I do think it would do well. A book with D.V.D. Great video by the way. Best wishes from Liverpool. Dave.
Hi I have done private lessons where I live. But don't offer skype lessons. Only videos by correspondence tuition. I don't know if I'll be doing any more ebooks or videos any time soon. I have made plenty already - it's more a question of how to reach more people who are willing to learn =\ Plus I will start my second album this coming January and will have no free time.
I have been doing sequence of 4 notes for years and I don't agree with first example if he was trying to do what he said "ill go 4 notes and then start from the next note" if you do that you get the following: A 8 8 10 E 8 10 12 10 12 So what am I missing?
I practice this with 3 notes on 1 string. 1 2 3 l 2 3 4 l 3 4 5 l 4 5 6 l 5 6 7. Then when I do that I just think ionian, dorian, phrgh, lydia, mixo , aelion.
Great explanation. I truly hate scale sequences so boring and painful- much rather learn songs and create music. WTF is the point and why do teachers push them on students as punishment? Songs already have solos and can learn music.
Hi Robert, I deliberately use an awful tone for reasons of mistake/noise exaggeration. It's a great practice tool for cleaning up technique. It's also impossible to make a tone which everyone likes.
Thanks man. I cut out audio here and there. No one needs to hear me coughing etc. I have had reports that it is disruptive and distracting though so I may just leave the audio raw in future.
Hi dude, I deliberately use a nasty, grating tone to exaggerate any mistakes I may be making. I have copied and pasted this so many times yet people keep commenting on the tone. I may have to start mentioning it in the actual videos themselves. Glad you liked the material, though!

Your voice is so relaxed, you remind me of Bob Ross
Well now I really appreciate that. I often have his videos playing in the background to comfort me through the most gruelling practice sessions.
underrated comment
"And over here we're, well maybe there's a happy little scale that lives over here"

I'm was the 420th to like this but do you have to go by scales if you're writing a song?
It's good to follow the rules of music to create songs that most people will appreciate
Great your videos !!! Quite clear the fingerings and tabs are great !!! Thanks a lot !!!
Thank you, I work hard on these.
as usual, thanks !
Nice course, and nice tab (with finger precision, good for me :D )
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you
Lol! I’m quite excited about these scales..(he says without so much as flinching). Cool as a cucumber!
great video and great playing. thumbs up!
I didn't know Leah Thomas knew so much about music
This is part of the sequence for Ozzy bark at the moon solo.
hola Alfred...Que escala es... y en que progresion de acordes se puede usar....GRACIAS...

Cheers. Check out the other videos like this. I have made many!
I'm always tying my fingers in knots! 😣
More scale sequences please
check out my lick videos I have made a lot. And will certainly make more =)

A 8 8 10

So what am I missing?
I thought the same but i believe he's phrased it to run for two bars played as 32nds.
Thank you. I am super picky with lessons💖
You're welcome. I'm picky too!
dont forget that you can apply these sequences to any scale shape
good stuff man
Thnx man! Really helped alot! Gotta say
Yes! Make sure to check out my other videos. There is so much more to learn.
Usted si sabe enseñar.
the name alone gets you out of a guitar rut
Te sigo mucho.muy buenos tutoriales,pero no hablo ingles

Good lesson 🎵🎵🎵 Like

Dig the Symphony X masks!
thanks man
Can you play them fast.?
I don't in this video but do in the others like "more scale sequences" and "metal guitar scale sequences"

Halo
Thanks for the lesson but the sound is too sharp, can you play with normal tone please thanks
Hi Robert, I deliberately use an awful tone for reasons of mistake/noise exaggeration. It's a great practice tool for cleaning up technique. It's also impossible to make a tone which everyone likes.
Thanks I understand, can you please make the same in Major and Minor pentatonic. Thanks
The ebook has a range of gorgeous penta scale sequences =) linear sequences, doubling back, skipped intervals (4th, 5ths, 7ths...)
Are you weird Al's "serious" brother
His videos are epic, but am I the only one that noticed like a noise gate on his voice lol ???
Thanks man. I cut out audio here and there. No one needs to hear me coughing etc. I have had reports that it is disruptive and distracting though so I may just leave the audio raw in future.
Tip #1 of shredding
Have long hair
Ye for power metal
Why is everything with distortion, just play it clean
You have heard of acoustic guitars, right? Many guitarists have had long and successful careers using acoustic guitars. You should get one.
I have heard of acoustic and have many. Best demos are clean so people can hear how the notes articulated clean
Scariest guitar teacher ever
Great stuff to help build phrases. Guitar sound is terrible thought, better teach with a clean sound imo
Cheers

got enough distortion LOL

Like I tell everyone... I created this tone specifically to be harsh to exaggerate and highlight any mistakes in my playing.
