Why has this guy only 69k subs? Whats wrong with youtube? All of his vids are helpful and on a good level. Not "Easy unlock to your solo play for beginners" and then a mastergrade lesson in 20 harmonics and sweep picking like others.... Thumbs up Rusty. Proceed. First guy i would buy a course from.
There’s so many good players out there I think we all feel like a long time beginner sometimes! Thanks so much Steve for your comment and enjoy the rest of your day man✌️
I began learning guitar when I was a teenager, long before the internet, video and DVD's etc, just books and listening to records to work out the chords of songs, then I got married, sold all my gear and didn't touch a guitar for a very long time, now I have bought some guitars and an amp, loving picking it up again and your video's are very encouraging, thanks.
So glad you are playing again! And I hope you can take away ideas from the videos for sure! I’m 60 now, I put the guitar away for about 15 years myself! I just try to learn a little something every day! Life is busy but I’d love to pick up the guitar like you do! Have an awesome weekend talk to you soon✌️
Long time beginner. Just as I feel myself . Since the 70's I always dreamed to play guitat. I finnaly bought my baby four years ago. At my 66 years old and now retired . Finally could enjoy my dream. And I own you everything the new way to play .It seems so simple, the way you teach the tecniques . Thks a lot Rusty.
Hey Frank, at my age I just try to get a little better every day if I can! It’s fun to watch other players and just learn from them! I appreciate you stopping by brother! Talk to you soon✌️
@@rustysguitar1 Yes, I know that pattern and the major and minor pentatonic but like with a lot of us it sounds like a scale, not like yours. I joke with my friend, do you think people would come to see us just play up and down the scale?
I just happened to run across your videos. Just a little background. I'm a 64 year old country fellow. I'm not a lead player. Before my hearing got so bad (in the last 10 years). I was a decent country / rockabilly bass player for dances around my area and we also played the animal clubs (eagles, moose's, elks) and VFW's. I like what and the way your are teaching. If I had run across your lessons 30 years ago I might have been a lead player instead of a bass thumper. I still play, but I'm not try to get to be a super lead player. I like the way you explain what your are doing as you are playing. Your not to loud, you have a good mix on your sound (guitar, backing track on the looper and your voice) . You have just gained another subscriber.
Glad to have you aboard William! I appreciate the positive feedback! I’m sure we like the same classic songs from back in the day! Thanks and enjoy your Sunday 🙏
Rusty after many many years of off and on trying to play the guitar I have recently retired and actually have time each day to dedicate to it. At 70 Im not so sure I can get my fingers to work too fast but Im going to give it a try. Glad I found your channel. I see the young guys shredding and thats not for me anymore.....
Glad you found my channel Thomas! My fingers don’t work as fast as they used to either! We should be a good fit! Thanks for checking out the video and have a great weekend👍
Im a long time bass player and I have been on and off guitar for years.I find your videos very helpful.Thank you! Looks like you have a Bible on the table behind you. It blesses me to be able to see that! It's the best book in the world to read! 👍
Здравствуйте Rusty 🤝 Большой и Тёплый Привет Вам из Москвы ✌️ Огромное Вам Спасибо🙏 Супер Замечательный и очень полезный урок 👍👍👍 С каждыми Вашими уроками я начинаю играть ещё лучше, а самое главное что я начинаю понимать на какую ноту в аккордах нужно делать акцент. Пентатоника это хорошая идея для импровинции в блюзе👍 Дай Вам Бог Крепкого Здоровья и Творческого настроения 🙏 Ваш Друг Илья ✌️✌️✌️
Greetings from the USA llya! Yes it is so important to have that connection with the Notes in the chords! Glad you are getting something from the lessons! I appreciate your support so much! Talk to you soon buddy✌️
I have to tell you my friend,no one has ever inspired me the way you have, I'm only,60yrs old and have been playing for a short year now,but you bring it all home for me.
I'm exactly in this phase of learning, trying to explore more of the fretboard. I don't fancy just copying others work and I rather progress and find the way on my own. Sometimes it's just useless noodling and crap, but sometimes I hit the right notes and it starts to sound nice and melodic. It gives me great piece of satisfaction and will to continue.
Yes, I think it’s important to find our own voice on the guitar! We need to have fun and be ourself! You are on the right track! I hope you can take away some ideas from the videos! Thanks buddy 👍
Hello Rusty, it's been a while, your channel grows a lot and you deserve it, always great videos, clear lessons, it s always a pleasure to look inside, congrat
There are 5 positions of the pentatonic , plus you can play everything one octave up past the 12th fret .. with a good ear you can play and extend the first position higher upon the neck . Triads are also a good help to climb fast , but yes you have to play it with feel so that means dressing the notes up with slides and bends ... you did great here in this tutorial connecting everything... see Angus Young still plays pentatonic .. so it doesn’t have to be that complicated , just play it with passion feel and dedication , for rock n roll the right attitude is very important
You are right John, really need to play with attitude and confidence! A few notes go along way if you do that! I appreciate the comment and enjoy your Sunday🙏
This lesson is a great eye opener for me. I've been playing for eight years now, and I always say I'm a beginner and don't know much. Yet when I play, I play up and down the fretboard like your post. Thanks for the boost of confidence! Your an excellent guitar teacher, Rusty. In my opinion, your in the top five of on line teachers.
@@liamhalligan188 actually it’s more like a different flavor! The notes fit but they sound good in different ways! As you target these notes for a while you will get a good feel on what sounds good to your ear and have a lot more fun on the guitar for sure! I really appreciate your comments and support Liam!
I was writing a comment here and out of the blue it disappeared. What I was commenting on was how I can relate to these courses. They are also great building blocks for increasing the level of the player.
I don’t know why that happens sometimes. You’re right we can just add these things to the chords and scales that we already know! Thanks for watching Kenneth!🤛
Thanks very much for these videos Rusty, being stuck in a rut for years with my playing like you explained, these tutorials are like a reset for me..going back to the basics and just concentrating on target notes..it is so powerful.
Alright, I just wrote a comment earlier this morning about how i use this run to go horizontally with the pentatonic. Did you read that comment and decide to make a video about it? Haha
Thanks Rusty for your tutorials you present them in a very easy to learn manner and believe me I have watched a few....although I have been playing for a while now mostly in a drop-c tuning as I like the heavier sound but you have opened my eyes to a whole new style of playing for me so thanks again 🎸👍
I'll always be a beginner. I may be settling into who I am as a player but room to grow is infinite. Thank you for all you are doing to help all of us my friend!!!
I’m working my way through some of your earlier videos since I’ve just found this channel recently. You present a lot of great material in a very learnable manner. This video is no exception. My problem is, it takes me a week or better to absorb each lesson and there are SO many excellent tips to get to!! Thank you. Cheers, Rick
Yeah man! Just take it in little by little. Also have fun Rick! I still try to learn something new everyday myself. Hope you have a ROCKIN WEEK AHEAD! ✌️
I like the way you travel up and down from string to string ! I’ve developed a bad way of changing strings that I’ve been doing since I was a kid! It sounds wrong! The way your doing it sounds how it should! I think that’s one of the tricks to playing is how we move from string to string not necessarily chromatic just laterally! Side to side feels natural but Lateral is awkward! I’ve got bad habits moving Laterally from string to string especially when I try going fast!
This is one of those lessons that is simple enough to be absorbed but is rich in content and widely applicable. If you really get the full content of this lesson down, in your fingers, head & heart, it’ll take you a long way, IMO…
Hi Rusty they say that you're never to old to learn . Your tutorials have helped me a lot , thank you very much , oh yeah I forgot to say that I have subscribed to your channel
I’m back from another week in the sun buddy 👍🏻🎸 love this tutorial as always my friend 👍🏻 you make the pentatonic scale with extensions sound amazing Rusty. Thanks bud 👍🏻🏴🎸
So good to hear from you Dave! Hope you enjoyed your time away! Glad to have my guitar buddy back! Enjoy the rest your week and I’ll talk to you soon✌️
We had a blast, thanks Rusty. Your guitar bud is always here, and behind me stand all the ‘Rustonions’ 🤣 you enjoy your week my friend. Talk soon buddy 👍🏻🏴🎸
Thanks for the lesson Rusty. I’m still in the beginner stage of my soloing but here and there, I have glimpses of hope that I’m starting to play a little by ear and feel. Would you say ear and feel starts to become more natural and will maybe replace playing in box shapes and memorised patterns the more I progress?
Hey Rusty! Thanks again for sharing your thoughts & techniques man. I’m really enjoying all of your feeds as you already know and I’m stating the obvious again ahah! I had purchased a few courses about these runs but it’s always nice to get a few other tips and viewpoints from others so it hopefully sticks a bit better too. I especially liked that breakdown you just did recently on the Shook Me All Night Long video too. Hoping you don’t ever decide to stop teaching because these tutorials really are very good, much appreciated! Tommy~
Thanks so much Tommy! Yes my videos are really geared toward someone who really wants to connect the chords and the scales together to make some music! Glad you are taking away ideas from the lessons! Enjoy the rest of your weekend buddy✌️
Hey Rusty, great stuff as always. It's those little things that help fit the puzzle pieces together. Thanks PS, can you please talk a little about the gear used in your videos. Your tone is spot on
I’m glad the lesson is helpful! In this video I was using the Carr Mercury V amp with some reverb and the J Rocket Audio Archer pedal for the drive! Thanks so much for the comment and enjoy your weekend David👌
I really like this video. Thank you for sharing the wonderful video. Your work very well and you are very talented 🙏🙏🙏🙏 brother 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 May God bless you and all time happy your life ❤️❤️❤️ all the best for your life ❤️. Great work ✅✅🏆💞 always smile ☺️
I always get something out of your lessons. I was stuck in the mud for many years. It did not keep my interest. For the last 3months I have been cramming on TH-cam. there are several good teachers out there. I am tired of using backing tracks. I am going to check out blues jams in the area
Bought a cheap red strat copy 45 years ago when I was 15. Hadn’t a clue, tried playing ‘James Bond’ theme on top string (badly). The world didn’t come knocking at my door or fall at my feet. Hand painted the poor little guitar black and then in a fit of complete teenage idiocy and hubris tried to refret the damn thing. I think it probably ended up in the bin. A year later another cheap, no name guitar bought from Traffords catalogue. This time a couple of library books on chords and a few Chappell music chord books (the Thin Lizzy one was particularly disappointing in those pre ‘tab’ days). But in my head I was well on my way to being on stage with Jimmy Page.. (Ah, to be a 16 year old knobhead again). My passion and unrealistic expectations took a bit of a hammering after going to see Rory Gallagher, AC/DC and some supremely talented local bands in quick succession. Left school, got a job and life went on, dreams of stardom forgotten. Borrowed an acoustic off a mate in my late twenties and actually taught myself a few songs, hung out with a few local musicians and occasionally sat in on sessions strumming along and eventually switching to bass guitar. God bless you Eric Clapton Unplugged, Best of Van Morrison and The Eagles Greatist Hits. Motto of all this rambling? Music and guitar are life long loves, you are never too old to learn and progress. Advice to my younger self? Learn the basic chords (and lyrics of a song) before trying to play the guitar behind your head or with your teeth. Less noodling and daydreaming, rather have small bite size achieveable goals - also, have fun! Love your channel Rusty and what you are kindly sharing. Could have done with such a teacher many years ago. By the way I can hear bits of David Gilmour type lead in your playing - obviously I mean this as a compliment! Cheer’s and keep up the good work. Glad to have discovered your channel.
Many words of wisdom here! We have the same guitar hero’s! Yes we need a good foundation before we play a big rock concert ✌️ I appreciate the support and the comment buddy! Thank you 👍
I am just starting to get back into Guitar as until lately I just was not getting it. I was in limbo and even sold the equipment in disgust. However lately I have been getting the urge to get back into playing the guitar again. Watching many videos until I came across your video "Adding Notes To A Chord" WOW that was an opener or Guitar Brain Opener. LOL I can really relate and understand what you saying in these lessons. I do have a ways to go to get things completely back however I have a folder in the Music app and I am making sure that these course links are in the folder for me to have a reference too. Thanks, Rusty for turning my new Guitar Light Bulb on.
That’s exciting Kenneth! I wish someone showed us early on some of these concepts. But better late than never. We can start having some fun! Enjoy your weekend.👍
I’m still not even a beginner, hahaha. But in all seriousness, your videos are very easy to follow. You explain it so well for everyone who looks at your videos. A great lesson, Rusty ❤
Great job again mr rusty!. I’m just not getting improvising, can play scales no problem.. feels like if I can just get what I’m missing I can run with it but I’m just not getting it yet, any advice?
Thanks for the comment! There is backing tracks using one chord only on TH-cam. Pick a scale and spend time improvising over the one chord! This will definitely help! Keep working at it buddy! Thanks 👍
@@rustysguitar1 thanks mr rusty never looked up one chord backing tracks.. thanks for letting me know YT has them!. Keep up the good work love your videos mr rusty
So I've been playing this extension for so long in the same old boring way. Then you just made it sound so much more musical then I ever have. Got a free metronome on my phone, so going to find a speed I feel comfortable with and go for it. Why do some guitar players hate using a metronome? Makes no sense to me, if it helps.
Yes, I’ve been using that extension for many years and love it. Also use the metronome quite often. So if you keep working with those tools you will really be moving forward. Thanks again Matt for checking out my lessons and all your support.👍
Rusty, First thanks for all of helpful videos you put out. When you use the pentatonic boxes 1-5 is there certain boxes you use more then other. Find when using box 2 and 5, I’m using just the GBE strings. Where box 1 3 5 I tend to use the whole box for licks. Thanks for any tips Bob
You are using them in a Good Way,, Bob! I do the same thing. Just use part of the scale. You don’t need to use the whole scale using two or three strings at a time it’s easier to climb up each position! Glad you are moving forward! Thanks for all your support Bob👍
A great way to practice that is to solo over one chord like we did in the video. Just target the notes in that one chord and try to target them inside the pentatonic scale. It’s so hard to hear the chord changes into follow them! I have to work at it myself all the time! There is one chord backing tracks on TH-cam that might help. Keep working at it buddy! Thanks so much for the comment and enjoy your weekend✌️
Rusty can I ask what settings you are playing for this presentation. Your Strat sounds amazing, is it through a mixer, amp and using pedals. It sounds sweet as.
In this video I am using the Carr Mercury V amp set clean with some reverb. And the nice tone comes from the J Rocket Audio Archer pedal. That goes directly into my interface, and then into my iPhone. Thanks buddy 🤛
Так все таки в чем заключается вертикальный способ и чем детально он отличается от горизонтального. Желательно бы чтобы были табы и можно было бы осознать суть вопроса и понять эти методы на разных примерах в разных тональностях
Hi Rusty! I just bought an el-guitar and I'm eager to expand my skills and knowledge on this new adventure. What are the nice fuzz and loop pedals you are using? Sounds good!
In this video, I’m using the J Rocket Audio Archer pedal into the Carr Mercury V amp. And I use the Ditto 2 looper pedal. I hope you enjoy that guitar! Thanks for watching the lesson👍
Thanks for your lead lessons... They are really helpful and very easily explained.... Sorry just wanted to know if the book in the background which is open ... Is it the Bible.😊
Yes definitely movable! The root note note is on the E string. In this video The shape starts on the A note. The extended pentatonic scale can start on any note on the E string. Thanks Fernando✌️
Hey Gregory! This A minor extended pentatonic scale will work over, almost any A minor or A blues, backing track. Check it out and let me know how it goes for you. Talk to you soon buddy.👍
Why has this guy only 69k subs? Whats wrong with youtube? All of his vids are helpful and on a good level. Not "Easy unlock to your solo play for beginners" and then a mastergrade lesson in 20 harmonics and sweep picking like others....
Thumbs up Rusty. Proceed. First guy i would buy a course from.
It’s exciting to see players start to improvise. Thanks a lot for checking out the lesson! Enjoy your Sunday.🙏

I’m glad you’re having fun with your guitar 🎸 More inspiration to come! Thanks Reginaldo 👌
Long time beginner. That's me. By the time I get any good, if that happened, my fingers would be too arthitic to play or I'd have dementia.
Hey Frank, at my age I just try to get a little better every day if I can! It’s fun to watch other players and just learn from them! I appreciate you stopping by brother! Talk to you soon✌️
I am 64. I figure I only got 35 more years to get it right. Even got the
band name picked out. “Rock’n Walkers”. All the best..

You've got a blues song right there.
Another superb presentation Rusty 👍👍🎸🎸
Thank you Tony ✌️
You inspire a lot of people, Rusty. 🧡🎶🎸Breaking the boundaries and learning new variations of solo guitar playing is an exciting adventure.👏😊🧡

Thanks for the comment man! Let’s work on this stuff together! Talk to you soon 😎
This is one of those lessons that is simple enough to be absorbed but is rich in content and widely applicable. If you really get the full content of this lesson down, in your fingers, head & heart, it’ll take you a long way, IMO…
Thanks Andy! This is a great comment! I appreciate the positive feedback! Enjoy your Sunday 🙏
Lots of ideas here! Thanks
Thanks John ✌️

@@daveallsopp4394 That’s awesome Dave ✌️
Born to teach and share.
Amazing
That’s really kind of you to say, Jose! Thank you buddy ✌️
@@rustysguitar1 you deserve more.I wished you coulh be my teacher 40 years ago
@@josepardo1780 Thanks bro 😎
Thanks for the lesson Rusty.
I’m still in the beginner stage of my soloing but here and there, I have glimpses of hope that I’m starting to play a little by ear and feel.
Would you say ear and feel starts to become more natural and will maybe replace playing in box shapes and memorised patterns the more I progress?
good PLAYING GUITAR SOLOS
Great lesson man. I think you nailed the escape route for those of us stuck in the pentatonic time loop.
Cheers
I needed this type of lesson many many years ago! I was stuck for a long time! Thanks for the comment buddy ✌️
@@rustysguitar1 ✌️
Dear my friend.~ nice sharing video!!..,,,,full watch😊👍..
I hope you have a nice day tomorrow.!,,,
nice lesson learned a couple things chromatic blues note sounds great
Glad you got something from the lesson buddy! Thanks for leaving a comment! I appreciate it ✌️
Hey Rusty!
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts & techniques man. I’m really enjoying all of your feeds as you already know and I’m stating the obvious again ahah! I had purchased a few courses about these runs but it’s always nice to get a few other tips and viewpoints from others so it hopefully sticks a bit better too. I especially liked that breakdown you just did recently on the Shook Me All Night Long video too. Hoping you don’t ever decide to stop teaching because these tutorials really are very good, much appreciated!
Tommy~
Thanks so much Tommy! Yes my videos are really geared toward someone who really wants to connect the chords and the scales together to make some music! Glad you are taking away ideas from the lessons! Enjoy the rest of your weekend buddy✌️
@@rustysguitar1 thanks Rusty and right back atchya buddy.
Hey Rusty, great stuff as always. It's those little things that help fit the puzzle pieces together. Thanks
PS, can you please talk a little about the gear used in your videos. Your tone is spot on
I’m glad the lesson is helpful! In this video I was using the Carr Mercury V amp with some reverb and the J Rocket Audio Archer pedal for the drive! Thanks so much for the comment and enjoy your weekend David👌
Nice lesson.
Glad you liked✌️ the lesson John! Thanks
I really like this video.
Thank you for sharing the wonderful video. Your work very well and you are very talented 🙏🙏🙏🙏 brother 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 May God bless you and all time happy your life ❤️❤️❤️ all the best for your life ❤️. Great work ✅✅🏆💞 always smile ☺️
Very nice and insightful video!👍👍 Thanks for uploading and being such an inspiration.🎼🎶
Thank you ✌️
love this! keep it up
Much appreciated! Thank you Dave 👍
yes sir i wanna learn the notes so this tips are me so welkom
Cool! Keep rockin 😎
👍thank you
I always get something out of your lessons. I was stuck in the mud for many years. It did not keep my interest. For the last 3months I have been cramming on TH-cam. there are several good teachers out there. I am tired of using backing tracks. I am going to check out blues jams in the area
Sounds like you’re ready to start having some fun on that Guitar! Glad you like the lessons. Keep rockin buddy.👍
Dang that was a great lesson
Thank you! Much appreciated ✌️
Bought a cheap red strat copy 45 years ago when I was 15. Hadn’t a clue, tried playing ‘James Bond’ theme on top string (badly). The world didn’t come knocking at my door or fall at my feet. Hand painted the poor little guitar black and then in a fit of complete teenage idiocy and hubris tried to refret the damn thing. I think it probably ended up in the bin. A year later another cheap, no name guitar bought from Traffords catalogue. This time a couple of library books on chords and a few Chappell music chord books (the Thin Lizzy one was particularly disappointing in those pre ‘tab’ days). But in my head I was well on my way to being on stage with Jimmy Page.. (Ah, to be a 16 year old knobhead again). My passion and unrealistic expectations took a bit of a hammering after going to see Rory Gallagher, AC/DC and some supremely talented local bands in quick succession. Left school, got a job and life went on, dreams of stardom forgotten. Borrowed an acoustic off a mate in my late twenties and actually taught myself a few songs, hung out with a few local musicians and occasionally sat in on sessions strumming along and eventually switching to bass guitar. God bless you Eric Clapton Unplugged, Best of Van Morrison and The Eagles Greatist Hits. Motto of all this rambling? Music and guitar are life long loves, you are never too old to learn and progress. Advice to my younger self? Learn the basic chords (and lyrics of a song) before trying to play the guitar behind your head or with your teeth. Less noodling and daydreaming, rather have small bite size achieveable goals - also, have fun! Love your channel Rusty and what you are kindly sharing. Could have done with such a teacher many years ago. By the way I can hear bits of David Gilmour type lead in your playing - obviously I mean this as a compliment! Cheer’s and keep up the good work. Glad to have discovered your channel.
Many words of wisdom here! We have the same guitar hero’s! Yes we need a good foundation before we play a big rock concert ✌️ I appreciate the support and the comment buddy! Thank you 👍
I am just starting to get back into Guitar as until lately I just was not getting it. I was in limbo and even sold the equipment in disgust.
However lately I have been getting the urge to get back into playing the guitar again. Watching many videos until I came across your video "Adding Notes To A Chord"
WOW that was an opener or Guitar Brain Opener. LOL I can really relate and understand what you saying in these lessons. I do have a ways to go to get things completely back however I have a folder in the Music app and I am making sure that these course links are in the folder for me to have a reference too.
Thanks, Rusty for turning my new Guitar Light Bulb on.
That’s exciting Kenneth! I wish someone showed us early on some of these concepts. But better late than never. We can start having some fun! Enjoy your weekend.👍
@@rustysguitar1 Thanks Rusty. I enjoy your replies. That black guitar is it a Gibson?
@@Kennethswoodcarvings Yes. It’s a 1981 Gibson, Les Paul custom. All original. I love it! Thanks man.🤛
@@rustysguitar1 What types of amps do you use and do you also use pedals?
@@rustysguitar1 I have small hands however not really small and what electric Guitars would you recommend be the best for anyone with small hands?
you a real bad ass guitarist you are so good
Well, I appreciate that. Paul! And I thank you for checking out my videos.🤛
Thanks
Hey Nic, Thanks so much for this support to my channel!!! I really do appreciate it! Talk to you soon 👍
I’m still not even a beginner, hahaha. But in all seriousness, your videos are very easy to follow. You explain it so well for everyone who looks at your videos. A great lesson, Rusty ❤
Always good to hear from you Michelle! I appreciate your kind comments ❤️
Great job again mr rusty!. I’m just not getting improvising, can play scales no problem.. feels like if I can just get what I’m missing I can run with it but I’m just not getting it yet, any advice?
Thanks for the comment! There is backing tracks using one chord only on TH-cam. Pick a scale and spend time improvising over the one chord! This will definitely help! Keep working at it buddy! Thanks 👍
@@rustysguitar1 thanks mr rusty never looked up one chord backing tracks.. thanks for letting me know YT has them!. Keep up the good work love your videos mr rusty
So I've been playing this extension for so long in the same old boring way. Then you just made it sound so much more musical then I ever have. Got a free metronome on my phone, so going to find a speed I feel comfortable with and go for it. Why do some guitar players hate using a metronome? Makes no sense to me, if it helps.
Yes, I’ve been using that extension for many years and love it. Also use the metronome quite often. So if you keep working with those tools you will really be moving forward. Thanks again Matt for checking out my lessons and all your support.👍
New friend here.
Wonderful video.
You have a beautiful channel.
Have a good weekend. 🔔💚146
Thank you ✌️
Nice👍
Thanks so much! I appreciate it✌️
Rusty,
First thanks for all of helpful videos you put out.
When you use the pentatonic boxes 1-5 is there certain boxes you use more then other.
Find when using box 2 and 5, I’m using just the GBE strings. Where box 1 3 5 I tend to use the whole box for licks.
Thanks for any tips
Bob
You are using them in a Good Way,, Bob! I do the same thing. Just use part of the scale. You don’t need to use the whole scale using two or three strings at a time it’s easier to climb up each position! Glad you are moving forward! Thanks for all your support Bob👍
Rusty I was the same as you "In The Rut"
I can definitely relate! Let’s keep moving forward. Thanks brother.😎
I have trouble hearing the chord change in time to hit the right notes in the solo.
A great way to practice that is to solo over one chord like we did in the video. Just target the notes in that one chord and try to target them inside the pentatonic scale. It’s so hard to hear the chord changes into follow them! I have to work at it myself all the time! There is one chord backing tracks on TH-cam that might help. Keep working at it buddy! Thanks so much for the comment and enjoy your weekend✌️
Rusty can I ask what settings you are playing for this presentation. Your Strat sounds amazing, is it through a mixer, amp and using pedals. It sounds sweet as.
In this video I am using the Carr Mercury V amp set clean with some reverb. And the nice tone comes from the J Rocket Audio Archer pedal. That goes directly into my interface, and then into my iPhone. Thanks buddy 🤛
Thanks for that I was trying all sorts to try and emulate the sound.
Так все таки в чем заключается вертикальный способ и чем детально он отличается от горизонтального. Желательно бы чтобы были табы и можно было бы осознать суть вопроса и понять эти методы на разных примерах в разных тональностях
Thanks for watching👍
Hi Rusty! I just bought an el-guitar and I'm eager to expand my skills and knowledge on this new adventure. What are the nice fuzz and loop pedals you are using? Sounds good!
In this video, I’m using the J Rocket Audio Archer pedal into the Carr Mercury V amp. And I use the Ditto 2 looper pedal. I hope you enjoy that guitar! Thanks for watching the lesson👍
Cool! Thank you so much for your reply! Your videoes are awesome, looking forward for your many great lessons. I've just subscribed :) @@rustysguitar1
Really digging the cherry burst strat, was going to get one went home thought about it went back later it was sold 😂 What is it called sienna burst?
Hey Kevin, I love that guitar 🎸 I bought it used but I think it’s called sienna burst! Thanks man ✌️
@@rustysguitar1 nice looking and sounding fiddle. Good lesson
Thanks for your lead lessons... They are really helpful and very easily explained.... Sorry just wanted to know if the book in the background which is open ... Is it the Bible.😊
Yes, it is the Bible! I read every morning in my studio. I’m really glad you noticed! Blessings, my friend.🙏
@@rustysguitar1 Bless you too
So, this shape is movable up and down the fretboard?? How do you know what key you are in?? Where is the root note??
Yes definitely movable! The root note note is on the E string. In this video The shape starts on the A note. The extended pentatonic scale can start on any note on the E string. Thanks Fernando✌️
@@rustysguitar1 Thanks.
Hey Rusty do you (or anyone here) have suggestions for backing tracks we should use for this????
Hey Gregory! This A minor extended pentatonic scale will work over, almost any A minor or A blues, backing track. Check it out and let me know how it goes for you. Talk to you soon buddy.👍

I appreciate that Lawson 👍
