Hey guys, hope you enjoy this one. I meant to mention that Jim is probably joking around when he says "Gideon", that's not an actual mode lol. He also says Mixolydian which is a mode, but that's the major scale (Ionian in mode-speak) with a flatted 7th. I'm going to make a video soon explaining the future of the channel, but I really want to take it back to the roots this year of what this channel used to be. Thanks for all your support and Happy New Year!
I´m loving this. Actualy a great, great way to get into soloing. It´s not all to complicated but looks very impresive. I seriously think you are one of the better teachers on YT and deserve waaaaay more subs. Thank you for all your efforts and everything you do.
Definitely sounds like Jim! I don't really know theory but ''Gideon mode'' did make me laugh lol. Something I'd add to the licks is the little minor thingy he does in pretty much every song live, 7th fret on the G string, 6th on the B string and an open high E to top it off. It's become one of my main go-to licks too by now haha
Thanks for this video man, I've idolized my playing around Jim, but I've only been playing for two years now, and as someone who has never really practiced legato runs and scales/shapes, it's coming off very challenging to me. Would you have any tips?
Like I said in the video, I'd recommend knowing your scales before tackling these. What I did when I decided I wanted to play lead guitar is I found my favorite key and my teacher helped me map out all the modes (E Natural Minor was/is my favorite key). Once you know all the positions of one key, eventually you can translate that information to any key you want to play in. For the legato runs, I'd recommend first doing some hammer ons and pull offs between two notes instead of 3, but then eventually working your way up to 3 note per string legato runs. I highly recommend practicing with a metronome and starting out slow, while gradually building up speed.
Would you possibly do a video similar to this in the future for rhythm playing? I'm why but personally I've always connected more to rhythm and when I come up with my own stuff it sounds good enough but maybe some extra advice and tips would be helpful?
I’m reaching near to 3 years of playing guitar and I still have trouble learning hammer ons, legatos and licks stuff. I think I’m not committed enough.
Is it not bad to hear your picking and the strings ring out? Are u supposed to like have ur picking muted as possible? Lmk cause I’m beginner I’m learning about guitar
@@mianakamoto5727 He used to use an MXR GT-OD which is one of my favorite overdrive pedals. But I'm more of a believer in using your ears and hands, nobody's ever going to sound like him because there's only one Jim.

Happy to help!

Thank you so much! Comments like this motivate me to keep going, so sincerely thank you.
Do more of these please. Good stuff.
Thanks! Any suggestions on topics to cover in a second installment of it?
The only B fridgean I play is walking to the fridge for a cold root bier.
DEAD
ROOT beer lol

Thank you for this video! Ive been wanting to learn Jim's style since I started out as a kid.

Thank you... a lot
You're welcome a lot

Yeah that's a great idea! I can certainly do the same style lesson as this, just rhythm examples instead of soloing.

It’s not a race, everyone progresses at different speeds.
yuhhh
Yeet
thanks for this video
Thanks for watching!
Yeeeeey
Thanks for video
You're welcome, thanks for watching
I’d like to see a video on how to write riffs like Jim/Mick
It's funny you commented on this video, I'm planning a how to play rhythm like Jim video which will be similar.
Im really digging the shirt, where’d you get it?
Thanks, it's a Chaps brand shirt, I think I got it at Kohl's.
It's all about growing the beard
Very true, I’ll have to make sure to include that tip in my next lesson
Is legato just lighter picking? And liek letting it roll rather than like strumming?
Legato is basically when you are using alot of hammer ons and pull offs instead of picking
What’s the difference in elgato and picking? I’m lost
Legato is essentially using hammer-ons and pull-offs
@@BlackacreDoe what does that mean?
what string gauge are you using in this lesson?
D’Addario EXL 116s, 11-52
Is it not bad to hear your picking and the strings ring out? Are u supposed to like have ur picking muted as possible? Lmk cause I’m beginner I’m learning about guitar
What is the first things I should learn on guitar?
I'd find a guitar teacher near you that you connect with and go from there. If not, there's tons of beginner lessons on TH-cam
@@BlackacreDoe how did u start though? Like what did u first do and learn when u started
How old were you when you started playing
13
@@BlackacreDoe where can I find a guitar teacher
Tons of places. Music shops, classified ads, lots of people teach via Skype/Zoom now, etc.
@@BlackacreDoe do you teach ?
Not anymore, except for these videos
What’s the video where Jimbo says that?
It was from a video he did for Guitar Part TV back in the AHIG era.
does jim root use heavy driven tone?
Yes
@@BlackacreDoe sir what would be 3 pedals u recommend to emulate jim roots tone?

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU WIGGLE YOUR FINGERS LIKE THAT
Many years of practice
