Great lesson for fans of Dickie Betts style soloing. Also a fine way to mix up the usual pentatonic runs. Thanks Jamey for giving guitar players some tasty melodic options that are not crazy difficult to master……with practice of course.
Every time I watch one of your video's I learn something that helps give me more depth in my playing, I'm no musical theory master so most of what I do is practice running the riffs until my muscle memory kicks in, when you say "flat 6th" my eyes glaze over, but anyway thanks Jamey for being my "go to" guy, I always recommend your UA-cam videos to other players.
Great lesson! Dickey Betts' leads are instantly recognizable and so listenable. Simple yet beautifully crafted. I wore out Blue Sky when first learning guitar and it has lent so much to my playing style. Thanks for covering this!
Jamey Arent , thank you for this lesson 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻!!! As always, it's very captivating and motivating 'cause you have the ability and you take the time to unraven the technique and present it to us in the simplest and most accessible way possible, you are a true pedagogue 👌🏻💪🏻🤩 and a very good teacher 🎸🎼🎵🎶💯.
That’s a great lesson for sure! Ascending and descending, great sequences. If you’re an Ace Frehley fan, start on the 12th fret and play that same sequence in E minor and it’s the opening riff to the Love Gun solo. I’ve always enjoyed how so many licks and riffs are so entertwined! Music is music! All styles are related! Cool video!
Loved it, I really appreciate you calling out the strings and frets while doing the licks. I slowed it down to quarter speed so I could see the movement better, seemed to help a bit. It all just sounds so effortless and I guess it really is once you have it down.
Hey Jamey, I have a question about your blues changes video. I understand all the concepts, emphasizing the 3rds and 7ths + voice leading, but I'm not sure how I can make progress on practicing these concepts. The part that seems hard to practice is being able to do this in a jam or something, where I have to figure out the 3rds and 7ths on the fly. How do you suggest getting better at this?
Understanding the concepts is definitely the first step! I’d recommend a few things to get this from being a concept to part of your vocabulary. First off, try playing each concept over and over with a looper or jam track so you see the chord tones but more importantly work the lines into your vocabulary so you don’t have to think on the fly, but rather, the phrases naturally come out in your playing as part of your vocabulary. Secondly, listen to tons of blues players who play using these approaches and when you learn their licks/phrases, analyze the how and why the lines work over the given chords.

Your video came into my UA-cam feed. This is excellent! Now a subscriber.
Thanks!
@@JameyArent actually working on the licks now! Up to 0.75 speed.

This is so useful. Thank you very much.
This is good for beginners
Dicky added the 4th to the major pentatonic., it's called the dicky Betts scale
Yep! Also known as the hexatonic scale! I mention this on the PDF handout and extended version of this lesson on my Patreon page.
Thanks a lot
You’re welcome!

Awesome! What of guitar is that?
Thanks! It’s a Heritage H-150 Custom Core
👍
F# minor pentatonic is the relative minor to A
😊😊😊
Nice H-150….appreciate your efforts at educating us unwashed masses
Thanks!
