This is great feedback, Alan! I think sometimes I’m too focused on the lesson and not thinking enough, about how fun it is to play the guitar! We are blessed to have music in our lives! Thanks so much for your comment Alan. Have an awesome weekend buddy.🙏
@lawson lawson Rusty seems like a super nice guy. Maybe he can exude more friendliness in his videos is all I'm suggesting. Or not. It's his channel, and I'm just a subscriber. 😎
Brother I've been playing for 50 +years as I said before,watched countless videos from instructors that just show enough to get you to sign up on premium which I've done. Never ever ever had an instructor that patiently shows in awesome detail. I cannot even thank you enough but God will bless you. Thanks Ed
Hi Rusty, i love your lessons. Respect for your serius performance: no blah, blah, direct to the point. Many thanks for the inspiration. Greetings from switzerland.
Cheers Rusty, I’ve been playing for 30 years, I never got into lead playing, I’m a finger picking freak, I must say I have learnt so much in the last 2 months watching your channel, your style of teaching is brilliant, thank you…cheers
Well Rusty, I think this lesson is by far the best So far, we apprentice need to see just how you move in and out of the scale breaking it down. We’re looking at all these moves to make sense of the scales blown away. More on this theme. A big thank you 👍👍👍🤣🤣
I've been through a lot of vids and i can honestly say you have really helped me improve. I like your teaching style. No nonsense straight forward approach 👍
Rusty, I’m addicted to your channel !! Your style of teaching is just what the Dr. ordered, straight shooting, and to point. Each lesson is a opportunity to learn! Love the channel & what you do for all of us looking to get better every day.
Fantastic tutorial video Rusty, it's quite a simple idea but so effective and useful to all levels of guitar player, indeed I use this anchor many times myself, awesome playing and teaching my friend well done 🎸👏👏🙏🏻🎸
Every time I watch one of your videos regarding a guitar lesson, it’s always something very useful, and I usually use what I learned from your channel when I upload original music.
Hey Robert, good to hear from you! Hope all is well with you and your family! Yes, we all need to learn from each other! Enjoy your week Robert. Later bro 😎
You are outstanding... you don't need to smile as someone suggested. I prefer when you are just as you are. There is no better teacher on TH-cam! Thanks for all your effort in helping people who are struggling! I feel very grateful! Happy Easter! ❤🐣🎸😇🙏
@@rustysguitar1 this lesson is what I want to learn. it's all so clear until i pick up a guitar. then the veil of forgetfulness falls. aging is not very attractive. 😁
Well, said Wolfgang! Just take small pieces and work them over and over again! The older we get it is hard, though! I appreciate your support, my friend! Keep rockin✌️
@@rustysguitar1 I have to save this one for practice time..alot of little nuances that I'm missing.. your videos are always the best ...God bless my friend..
Thank you very much Rusty. Outstanding lesson to unleash our creativities with double stops and identify anchor points. May God be blessing you and your family. Cheers from Indonesia.
They certainly are! The notes are simple, but playing them fast does take some practice and discipline. And as we get older, it is definitely hard to do. Me included! Thanks, John and have a great weekend.👍
Hey, Rusty. I love your videos! They are some of the most useful instructional videos that I've found. And, I love your playing style. I hope to get as good as you. Being in my mid-50s, I definitely fall into the category of what you call a long-time beginner! I have a lot of trouble getting the repeating licks like in Lick #3 up to speed! I can't seem to get my fingers to work that fast - especially cleanly. I would appreciate any pointers/tips on increasing my speed. BTW - I notice what appears to be a Bible in the background.❤ Love it! May God pour out His blessings upon you for giving your time and using your teaching gift to help others better learn guitar, brother!
Hey Gerald, I’m glad you like the lessons. I still have to slow down, clicks with a metronome and work at them all the time. That’s the only way I know to play a little faster and cleaner. Happy you noticed the Bible! I read it every day in my studio! Have fun with that guitar 🎸 Gerald! Blessings my brother 🙏
Fantastic Rusty 🙏🏻 really like the use of double stops and anchor points. Really useful buddy. You’re teaching me a lot of great stuff my friend. Thanks mate and enjoy your weekend, speak soon 👍🏻🏴🎸
I just stumbled onto your channel Rusty and I'm highly impressed!!! In fact, I've never, ever subscribed to any channel faster!! Thanks so much for taking the time to make these videos. I would like to ask how you're getting such great tone? I see you have a humbucker in the bridge... What about the rest..... Amp, pedals, etc? Thanks again and so nice to see God's Word there behind you!!! Blessings to you and thanks again!!! Now I need to check out your other videos!!
I’m glad you found my channel Jeff! Thanks for your support. I’m using a Carr Mercury V amp set clean. Almost always. I’m using a J rocket audio archer pedal. There’s a lot of gain but still a lot of clarity also. Yes I read the BIBLE in that spot every day! Glad you noticed! Blessings to you also Jeff and have a wonderful weekend🙏
Wow! Maybe some or most people looking at this channel might not know what I’m sayin but. This is the basis for the Guns and Roses ( Slash ) wah solo on a song called Civil War. Check it out. Rusty, I’ve been playing for years and I’m now just starting to get interested in blues rock soloing and improvising, your channel has been an excellent help, actually the best out there for this topic. Thank you and keep it coming, your the man.
I love me some Slash guitar for sure! I will check out that tune! All of the Jimmy page, Angus Young and Slash influences come out for sure! Those are players we want to take ideas from. I thanks for the comment and have a great weekend.👍
Most of the time in a 1-4-5 progression you can use either major or minor pentatonic ( of the one chord) I did show in the video how to use the major box. And mix major in minor pentatonic also. Thanks 👍
Thank you for the explaination. I rewatched the video and it seems you are useing the minor box more as passing tones, bending up to the next tone or coming back to the major quickly. Is this a right assesment? Not trying to be difficult , seriously curious, love your videos.
First of all, that is such a pretty guitar - the cherry sunburst with the pearloid pick guard is dazzling. This is such a wonderful insightful lesson and great playing too! That "anchor point" is the common link between the major and minor pentatonic scales, which when interspersed with one another, really spice things up. It's a secret some of the great blues guitarists understood (e.g. B.B., Clapton and Duane Allman). Here is my humble attempt to employ these techniques: th-cam.com/video/9u8p2UcSc9M/w-d-xo.html
Mr Rusty after playing for years i cant believe how much more i can get from the Am pent scale with just a lil understanding of chord structure and following the chord changes , you have literally pulled me out of a ditch and sent me down road truckin on these positions with just a few simple add ons and understanding of note structure , thank you
I’m glad to hear that Arty! I always get excited when something clicks on the fretboard for me! And it sounds like you’re excited also! Have fun on your guitar this week and let’s talk soon 🤛
Great lesson, Rusty! I have a suggestion... could you smile a little more.... your videos always seem so serious. 😇
This is great feedback, Alan! I think sometimes I’m too focused on the lesson and not thinking enough, about how fun it is to play the guitar! We are blessed to have music in our lives! Thanks so much for your comment Alan. Have an awesome weekend buddy.🙏

@@rustysguitar1 to be focussed on the lesson is maybe the reason why they are so good . one can feel your enthusiasm.

They are pretty much Angus Young licks.😄 All really helpful stuff for me as an on and off player for over 40 years (with poor practising discipline)
They certainly are! The notes are simple, but playing them fast does take some practice and discipline. And as we get older, it is definitely hard to do. Me included! Thanks, John and have a great weekend.👍

Im a little confused. How does the A minor box work over an A major progression? Shouldnt the minor box be over F#?
