What I love about Paul's videos is that he's not just teaching us tricks to make us sound better, he's teaching us techniques and the theory behind them, to make us into better guitarists and better musicians.
THIS is such an important lesson and a perfect reason why "THINKING IN INTERVALS" is crucial! Intervals are transferable to other keys (Intervals are static), letters are (variable). Thinking in letters is like thinking of words one letter at a time. You'll feel like a child trying to sound out words. Thinking in intervals (numbers) is like instantly seeing the word/sentence as a whole, understanding what the words means and having the freedom to choose what context to use it in. AND... in ANY key!
@@x-cluster Actually you dont need to learn all the notes. So long as you know the root position of the chord or scale you are currently playing then the rest are numbered positions relative to where the root note is. Then you can move around different keys or chords. the number scale intervals are always in the same positions relative to your root. You will quickly learn where your 3rds and 5ths are etc. This is where I am currently.. Trying to remember which interval (number) each note in the pentatonic shapes are. That will help get away from just thinking in shapes..
The Internet and social media has many issues, but Paul Davids isn't one of them. Paul has really enriched my life with his videos, not just from the technical and production aspects, but by who he is. That the Internet has given us this is a real gift.
Every time I get done watching one of your videos, I always feel compelled to pick up one of my guitars! Thank you for inspiring me to get back into it last year when things were at an all time low. Now about a year later, I have more skills than I've ever had!!!
And cool to see him with long hair in the Stone Temple Pilots MTV Unplugged special back in the day, playing guitar with his old Huntington Beach friends....
This is brilliant! I was never to much into learning licks, because I always thought I'd just end up playing the same things, but if you're doing it like this it's totally different and much better.
Everyone can learn to play same scale but 90% of sound are in hand connected to feeling... this Gibson sound like holy grail in Paul's hands, the sound and that connection to instrument are inspiring Thanks Paul !
That tone is sublime. Watching you play and the way you smile and chuckle makes it so obvious that you truly love what you do. That is such a pleasure to watch.
Got to admit, it's a man crush. Paul Davis has pulled me out of so many ruts and holes in the past 3 months it's absolutely unbelievable. I've been playing for over 30 years, but he's made me a much better player in 3 months. Thank you Paul, you are simply, just absolutely an outstanding guitar player. Hands down the best teachers on the internet. Lol, if I had the money I would get the course but that will come later, absolutely! Thank you again, your awesome!!
Today I've made a simple loop backing track and then started playing D major. Suddenly I played a D minor pentatonic lick and it sounded so good together!
Not many people will have the ease and mastery of the fretboard that you do. I don’t and I have been playing for most of my life. But this shows how things open up and your work will trigger a hunger for knowledge and a new experience of playing. Thanks, Peter
This guys playing is very accurate and tonefull. I try to be a "feel" player and I'm not that great. I came here for the details. Hoping to expand my playing. Great Channel!
The reason a blues scale lick works on major, minor and dominant seventh chord is because of pentatonic substitution. That is, you're playing available tensions for chords (called the 'interesting notes' by Rick Beato). You could play that blues /chromatic lick not only over C major chord and A minor / major chord, but also: Dm, Bm, F#7, Bbmaj7, Fmajor. All those are available pentatonic/blues subs. You can check Rick Beato's book if you want to learn more about pentatonic substitution. There's also some videos on Rick's channel.
Glad to see a shout out to Shawn Tubbs. He's amazing, and his playing is so him, he does have his own voice. We can hear his influences, for sure, but he did make it his own. And he's a super nice guy to boot.
I'm watching this video and something new just clicked in my head in terms of improvise soloing, and it isn't even something that really pertains to what you're talking about in this video. It's like an idea 💡 popped into my head. On a side note it amazes me how you pull licks just out of the air. I usually play the same 10 stock licks that i always use. Thank you for making this video Paul. These videos are a great source of inspiration.
So many people on UA-cam feature *instructional* videos that are merely 'aspirational'. Paul, I appreciate your manner and approach to go farther and help me (and likely others) through your personal, and "inspirational" lessons that support my learning/playing, and ultimately enjoyment of a guitar in my hands. Sincere thanks to you, Sir.
You're right. My mind is blown right now. Although I knew about relative keys and everything else, but I have never thought of using licks like you described in different keys. Thanks
Reading the comments below makes me grateful to my mother for forcing me to take piano lessons as a kid. Hated them at the time but so glad I understand music theory. Didn't stick with the piano but took up the guitar instead. Don't listen to those guys who tell you it's easy to learn how to play the guitar. Nothing worthwhile is easy but it sure is satisfying. 🎸🎶😎
It's a shame we only have 1 Paul Davids! There's no one else out there that explains themselves as well as you my friend. I think I speak for all of us that benefit from your teaching, "we are grateful".🙏
Paul, I absolutely love your Chanel. You’re a great communicator and I find myself walking away with a metric ton of usable information, every time I watch a video. Your attention to detail makes for really well polished videos that are very satisfying and easy to watch. Everything from the lighting right down to your articulation of words is inspiring, and it truly makes me want to get right after the content in the video. Hats off to you Paul. You’ve definitely helped my playing in many ways.
Paul, I ve been practicing shapes and notes for months now and then I find this!! I was struggling with phrasing and now I am soooo pumped!!!!! I was a theory major in college so I am in heaven with guitar now (was a piano dude) thank you!!!!!
I knew many of those notes but this really helped me piece this together. The neck to me looks more connected than it ever has. Thank you David for presenting this so well. It is making a big difference for me and much of it is beginning to make more sense! This is really fun learning! I'm committed to break out of my rut and you're helping me do that!
Also nice to try is (in A7), play the lick's basics at the V (5th) position instead of the 10th (minor) and 7th major position. Maybe also change the starting and resolving notes. At the 5th position the 3 decending notes then are B, Bb and A. Have fun.
You mean all those YT ads promising instant results are...are...lying? My world is crushed - that was my master plan. Agree 100%. This is why so many people (and I have been guilty myself) spend all their time on gear and pedals and never really learn to play as well as they could have.
@@mvp019 Well new gear keeps me going...just new strings spark this urge to practice in me. Whatever helps you keep going do it. And if it's new gear and you have the money go ahead.
@@chrisking6695 Not for a second implying for one second that people shouldn't spend their money as they see fit. But I know a number of guitar "players" who suck but have craploads of gear but literally can't play. They learn how to play songs without learning how to play the guitar. They will watch hours of pedal videos, but won't spend 10 minutes learning music theory as pertains to guitar...and they use "tone chasing" as a substitute for learning to play. There are a lot of people who need to spend less on gear and more time learning and practicing...because as Paul said, "there are no shortcuts to learning guitar."
I went and looked at Shawn Tubbs and, in the first video I saw, he said "...I tend to think more shape-wise." And, that's exactly what I had come here to comment on. To make a long (sad) story short, I learned guitar by shape only. Had no clue what I was doing; I only knew what shape got me the sound I wanted. It was extremely haphazard, at best. So...I'd like to add that it is really important to move licks like this, not just into other keys, but to entirely different positions on the fretboard. Same key, just put the first note (A, root) on the 4th string, 7th fret, and slide into the next (E, 5th) from 8-9 on the 3d string and play the rest of the lick from there. Each one you do relates the lick to a different part of the neck and a different relation to positions you may already be familiar with. This all gets easier when you know that the first note is root, then sliding into the 5th relative to the chord and so on. But...if you're a "shape-wise" player, moving the lick around really helps with why it works, and makes it so you can use fragments, not just the whole thing in one position relative to the key.
Hey Paul. Been following you for some time even have a couple of your courses under my belt. Mate you never fail to delight and impress. Your success is so wonderfully deserved!! Thank you. I wish you much joy and peace. Kind regards.
@@Stekkermen Hey Norbert, I purchased Lear/Practice/Play and Acoustic Adventure. Both were excellent for what I was looking for. To me Paul has a remarkable teaching gift and the content was superb. The cost of each is not super cheap but the quality is outstanding. If Paul's teaching style appeals to you, depending on what you are looking for his courses may be exactly what you need. All the best.
Need yearly maintainence tips/advice for my guitars. Usually I do the following to maintain/keep my guitars in good playing/looking position -Change strings every 2 months -Wash hands before and after playing -Wipe down the guitar with a microfibre cloth -Keep guitar in the hardshell case -adjust truss rod when neck moves during the seasons change I usually don't go crazy with oils/polish etc. What do you do to maintain and keep your guitars in good condition? what about the neck/fingerboard-especially for maple/rosewood fb? advice and suggestions appreciated.
when paul laughs at 7:37, thats how i want to look at my guitar. I love playing but if i don't learn any new things (because of being busy or stressed), i build up and my motivation to play has inertia. Anyone one else feel this at times?
Hi Paul, I just wanted to let you know I think you are doing a great job. There are loads of people out there but your channel is one I always come back to. Your free videos are exactly where I want them to be. Challenging but doable. And the way you present them is great too. I like your enthusiasm. I must say you have me tempted to step into one of your courses. Keep up the good work 👍
Instruction videos like this show me how learning the guitar is a personal experience. I could explain what Paul is doing in a much easier to understand way....to me. My way would likely make little sense to how someone else looks at the guitar. It's not that this instruction is bad, it's just that there are very few shortcuts that can be taught. Unless you find the shortcut yourself, no amount of someone else pointing at it will make enough sense.
For me, it sounded better played slow, I think these bluesy licks always sound way better this way, with more feeling. But, always nice to improve your speed and have these skills at your disposal. By the way, I’m a huge fan of your work! 🙏
2 years ago I saw this video when I first started, thought to myself self yeah right I can’t do that crap now, I can’t even hold the guitar right. Now hear I am 2 years later getting down to business. Keep practicing people !
This was a very very useful video for us guitarists who are in that intermediate plateau 😅 I'm currently learning/ practicing comfortably numb solo and apply those notes to other contexts/ timing too!
Regarding step three, what I do is play my guitar in eflat tuning, then try to play a famous lick in the original key, so everything has to played 1 fret up but sounds the same,. Total mind melt if you try to look at the fret dots. It'll make you find new places on the fret board :D
What I find that know really tells you is how to sequence the notes. You can play the arpeggios, you play the scale, but what about an in-depth lesson between the chord tones and ways to play them in different note arrangements and more importantly the timings. I believe that's really the missing link between a good luck and an average one. Just good for thought lol.
Brilliant video Paul. You are the best. I'm Level 6 NLP and planning on doing the acoustic course next. After my "real" teacher you're the next best thing.
Wow love the look of the new vid. Who ever does your cinematography and color grading deserves a raise! You just need a soft fill light on the left side of your face. The shadow/contrast is a bit much hehe.
Nice! I remember Shawn Tubbs from Christian a rock band in the 90s. The style was Prince meets Midnight Oil . I think it was The Violet Burning. Link to his video?
Can you do a video about how to play Recuedos de la Alhambra !! I really fall in love with that piece of art a long time ago and now I'm ready to learn it
This is an interesting video. You should cover the magic of playing different pentatonics over same chord in a video. I'm sure lots of people will be interested.
Txs again, for another great video. Yeah, phrasing, counting, careful listening and counting and phrasing. I began to understand e.g. Robben Ford after I had started counting. Love your channel and I get so many ideas from it. I realised that Robben isn't present in your videos. Some specific reason?
I love your tone. What pedals, or amp you use. Please make us an tutorial and teach us how to have a good tone. I am from Roumania. Thanck you very much.
What I love about Paul's videos is that he's not just teaching us tricks to make us sound better, he's teaching us techniques and the theory behind them, to make us into better guitarists and better musicians.
I can not say it better
Thanks so much for the shout out Paul! You do excellent work!
Thanks man! 🤘
In step 5, you clearly explain the basis for pretty much all BB King style blues (major over minor) in such a succinct way. It’s truly beautiful.

@@alexmungan9950 oh I see. Yeah that would actually require me to know the notes on the fretboard 🤣
@@alexmungan9950 you're asking way too much of me, mate.
Great way of explaining why to think in numbers with music.

Such a complemet for your "learning song" video. Both great guitar players!
sorry to bother, but when will there be a new dipped in tone episode?
Thanks, Rhett, hope you're doing well!
And Shawn Menders is a "Legend" :))
And cool to see him with long hair in the Stone Temple Pilots MTV Unplugged special back in the day, playing guitar with his old Huntington Beach friends....
Playing it in Major: "Hope ya'll like country!"
Playing in Minor: "Man, this is so bluesy, I need a drink."
In Major: I Gotta Get Drunk...Willy Nelson
In Minor: Whiskey and Wimmen...John Lee Hooker
This is brilliant! I was never to much into learning licks, because I always thought I'd just end up playing the same things, but if you're doing it like this it's totally different and much better.

Man, this is just the video I needed at the level I’m at with guitar 🎸
this goes back to an earlier thing you have said- everything is connected
As the licks incorporate the minor blues scales, I have applied both the C and G minor keys when transcribing.
For me, it sounded better played slow, I think these bluesy licks always sound way better this way, with more feeling. But, always nice to improve your speed and have these skills at your disposal.
By the way, I’m a huge fan of your work! 🙏
Paul's voice always reminds me of like a local station classical music radio host lol its very relaxing
it took me 10 minutes to write this lick down, but no regret i love the lick thx paul.
Wow. I’ve been playing for a long time and never heard it described quite like this before. Mind sufficiently blow.
2 years ago I saw this video when I first started, thought to myself self yeah right I can’t do that crap now, I can’t even hold the guitar right. Now hear I am 2 years later getting down to business. Keep practicing people !
You have the best guitar lessons online IMO. Concise and the essential aspects always. So grateful!
Great one Paul and big props to Shawn who is just an amazing player and a great fella.
Same energy but with the legato lick Eddie does in Panama. It sounds so cool. RIP king.
Paul, this is such a fun video. Love your style and playing. 👍👍👍 Cheers!
So great, it's a lesson wrapped in a lesson. we get that really cool lick, plus, the how and why it works and where. Thanks Paul
It’s always so much fun learning from you Paul. You are an incredible guitar player and teacher! I really enjoy your videos.
This was a very very useful video for us guitarists who are in that intermediate plateau 😅
I'm currently learning/ practicing comfortably numb solo and apply those notes to other contexts/ timing too!
I'd like to take a moment to point out how nice Paul's voice sounds in these videos. Excellent audio work!
Regarding step three, what I do is play my guitar in eflat tuning, then try to play a famous lick in the original key, so everything has to played 1 fret up but sounds the same,. Total mind melt if you try to look at the fret dots. It'll make you find new places on the fret board :D
Excellent, Paul, thanks so much for all the great videos. This one is especially thought-provoking
Paul you’ve got one of my absolute all time favorite UA-cam channels dude. 🤘🏼👍🏼✌🏼
Mr. Paul>>> I hit the like> Cuz I like you. Easy now I mean teaching and guitar playing you smooth devil, you. Cheers man!
Great video, and you explain it all so simply. I'm learning alot. All the tricks. Keep it up!!
What I find that know really tells you is how to sequence the notes. You can play the arpeggios, you play the scale, but what about an in-depth lesson between the chord tones and ways to play them in different note arrangements and more importantly the timings. I believe that's really the missing link between a good luck and an average one. Just good for thought lol.
Thanks Paul, I had no idea you can slow down you tube vids, thanks again
Paul - your tone, feel and phrasing are just beautiful! 💓👏👏
Brilliant video Paul. You are the best. I'm Level 6 NLP and planning on doing the acoustic course next. After my "real" teacher you're the next best thing.
Obviously a great help for me for learning any lick... thanks Paul
Great stuff Paul. I've just transcribed this lick in notation via an AKAI riff-o-matic U40 phrase recorder.
Good morning from Nashville Paul......man I needed this and you always make it look so easy....until I start playing. :-)
Man, I wish I had this guitar teacher when I was young.
@paul davids do a video where you explain how to analyse chord progression of a song and maybe to make them our own
Would love to see you do a tone course on your website … your tone is always so nice 👌
I didn't understand one word, but i clicked like anyway, you are such a joy to watch 😃
Paul, you're awesome!! I dream to become your student! I've improved a lot watching your videos. Glad i found your channel.
This is just great great stuff. If it wasn't for the appointment with the pile of laundry, this would well of been my evening's activity
Watching this video has triggered a light bulb moment for me with regard to using pieces of solos I learn from others. Thank you.
Wow love the look of the new vid. Who ever does your cinematography and color grading deserves a raise! You just need a soft fill light on the left side of your face. The shadow/contrast is a bit much hehe.
Pretty good lick, I tried it and sounded really good in c major. Thanks Paul
In love with that tone! Amazing tips as always!
Nice! I remember Shawn Tubbs from Christian a rock band in the 90s. The style was Prince meets Midnight Oil . I think it was The Violet Burning. Link to his video?
Great lesson, though I would add step 7, learning the lick on different fingerings, ie starting on different string sets and fingerings 😊👍
Paul David’s AKA here’s a gold nugget for free baby … best guitar guy on you tube
I so hate how Google is always undermining what you write. You think you've written something and then it corrects to the wrong words so frustrating
Another great video Paul. Keep up the good work. Thanks!
Finally, we get to see an extensive amount of Paul shredding in a video.
this is actually really useful, thanks Pauly D!
Another fine video,, Mr.. Davids!
Thank you!
Can you do a video about how to play Recuedos de la Alhambra !! I really fall in love with that piece of art a long time ago and now I'm ready to learn it
Love your videos. You make my playing so much better!!. Thank you
I would be interested in learning to play the rhythm of the backing tracks to start. Love the lessons. Thanks.
Fun video Paul, btw the 335 is sounding great!
This is an interesting video. You should cover the magic of playing different pentatonics over same chord in a video. I'm sure lots of people will be interested.
I'll second that!
Thinking of it as Box 3 to Box 4 blues scale positions. That’s the only way I’d be able to transpose it quickly
I don't have that level of guitar but I just deeply enjoy listening to those fabulous tasty licks 🙂
Fabulous video. Loads to think about and use
Dawg! You should be performing somewhere you sound better than most!
You rule man!! You are the best if the best!👊🏾👍🏽
Txs again, for another great video.
Yeah, phrasing, counting, careful listening and counting and phrasing. I began to understand e.g. Robben Ford after I had started counting.
Love your channel and I get so many ideas from it. I realised that Robben isn't present in your videos. Some specific reason?
So close to being first! Thank you Paul, awesome video.
Really awesome ideas you always have, Paul. Thanks!
Totally clear and understandable, but also brain scrambling. Going to sit down right now and try to unscramble brain. Thnx!
Please, more videos like this. What a great lesson.
Amazing Paul. Thank you.
This is a much-needed lesson. Thanks!
