@@kevinking2468 I appreciate that Kevin! I don’t know deep theory but I can play and teach from the heart. Your comments really mean a lot. Thank you.🤛
I am elated to have found your channel. I have played the better part of 3 decades, and I know my way. What you have did for me is allow me to teach my children and their children what I know. Before you I lacked the path to send them, and alot of teachers lose their audience. Not you my man and I say thank you.
Hey Rusty - really appreciate this channel. I'm 64 and have been noodling for a long time. You're showing me stuff I know, but in a different way that suddenly makes sense so I can do it with less thinking behind it (if that makes sense.) Anyway, thanks. I really connect with how you play - probably a generational thing.
Hey Steve, I like your comment! This stuff just gives me more confidence when I’m improvising! Thanks so much for watching the lesson and have a great week man 👍
Well, I appreciate that Beatles❤️Girl Karen!!! I would lose them quickly, if I didn’t get right into it! Always good to hear from you Karen! Have a wonderful week ❤️✌️😄
This may take more characters than I am allowed, BUT here goes…I canNOT begin to say how much this lesson helped me, and I am DEEPLY grateful!! I have been trying to figure out the concept of how to play more “to the chords” in my lead phrasing for MANY years now! I have SCOURED the internet, as well as grilled local teachers and players trying to find EXACTLY how to get this sound that Rusty described so incredibly well in this video, but have struck out for YEARS now!! I seriously think you can forget 90% of what you know and just focus on what Rusty has taught us here, and your solos will be as good as they ever need to be….for MY ears anyway!!! IMO….THIS video is the HOLY GRAIL!!! THANK YOU RUSTY!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is such a great comment, Kenny! And I’m really happy to help! Pentatonic. Scales can still be a good focus, but you still need to play to the chords. It’s not an easy task, but it sounds like you are really moving forward now. I still work on this concept every day myself. It’s easy to get carried away, playing up and down a scale without realizing the structure of the chords you’re playing over. Thanks again for this awesome comment. Means a lot. Have a rockin week ahead buddy.😎
@@rustysguitar1 I am 58 yrs old and i have been playing, as well as pursuing improvement on the instrument, for the better part of 40 years now. I know the fretboard extremely well. I know the 5 Pentatonic shapes as well as the diatonic shapes all over the board. I know the CAGED system inside and out. I can solo all over the fretboard in any key or mode both horizontally and vertically and diagonally. I am very pleased with my ability to improvise solos in any style (except more complicated Jazz things, which I don’t aspire to anyway), and I think my playing is musical and sounds very good, but the “thing” i have been lacking in terribly is this concept you explained soooo well! This is the MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH I have been looking for that made it all “click” JUST LIKE YOU SAID it would!! You were RIGHT!! If you or anyone can send me any links to other videos that teach this equally well, I would love to see them!! Personally, I don’t think there is a better video that exists on the whole web than THIS one right here!! ETERNALLY grateful!!!🙏🏻
@@KennyWayneMusic so many of my videos are focused this topic. You have a lot of knowledge. I will have to look into some more specific videos that would help you. But thanks so much for checking out this lesson. Have a Rockin week ahead buddy 😎.
This is an invaluable lesson! I had a guitar teacher who used to give me arpeggio exercises that were written down. I found them difficult because I couldn’t understand the relationship between the notes. However when playing different chord shapes I naturally found the arpeggios and linked those back to the scales I’d already learnt. Brett Papa also does a great video on learning the notes from the chords. Thanks for the lesson!
I like how you explained this. I've known for years that many of my favorite licks use both major and minor notes, and now I'm one step closer to understanding it and making it work for myself. Thanks!
When you understand it better, you will have the confidence to use those Licks and Phrases whenever you want. That’s exciting Jonathan! Thanks for checking out the lesson.👍
Rusty, yet another fantastic lesson! You are teaching me not only to theory … But also my ears and my fingers! I’ve been studying chord tones, this really helps a lot! I hope you take this the right way, but I consider you the Teacher for the working man and woman that play guitar, but don’t have a lot of time, but you break it down where we can spend our time really developing through your concise lessons!
I love the way you put things, Doug! Your comment means a lot! I just try to make lessons of things that I wanted to learn early on. Thanks for all your support man! Have a great week and keep rockin with that guitar.👌
Hi Rusty, I hear your comments about the importance of rhythm skills. Couldn’t agree more, wondering if I’m dabbling in these “lead” lessons too soon? Do you have or can you do a rhythm exercise lesson? I’d like to use it to get better or at least evaluate where I’m at with rhythm. Thank you, your lessons are great!
Yes, Jeff rhythm is so important! I really don’t have much for just rhythm lessons here is one good one though.How To Play Blues Rhythm Groove th-cam.com/video/Bm6Y04MZNnU/w-d-xo.html. But I promise I’ll have one coming up soon. Thanks so much for checking out the video and have a great week.👌
Thank you Rusty this is a great lesson... I'm loving practicing this and already seems to be improving my playing... Bit of a lightbulb moment for me!! 🎸🎶
Rusty your an amazing teacher brother , the simplicity of your style opens doors so fast its crazy , i wished i had of been learning this way years ago
Great lesson, Rusty. I find studying songs and analysing what scales are used or combined together has really helped me see my way around the fretboard. And seeing all the chord/scale relationships is a huge thing too.Great to see you fast approaching 50,000 subs.
You’re right, studying songs, and how they put together is an awesome way to learn. And a fun way! Yes, the channel is growing. Thanks to players like you that support me! Thanks so much Ray 🤛
Thanks Rusty for another great lesson! You are teaching people who have played guitar for 3 and 4 and over 4 Decade's. Your Utube Channel is Excellent! You are a Breath of Fresh Air the way you teach guitar! Thankyou Very Much!! Cheers
Love it. I'm reminded of when Jimmy Page walks it down so well in 'I Can't Quit You Baby' off Led Zep I. It's such a great way to add some real depth to the solo. Thanks, Rusty! Love your teaching style, and I'm subscribing today!! (Old man noodler here, 40 plus years.) Cheers!
Really Good Lessons I Had Today. 7 Lessons Videos, Along With The Short Videos. Awesome ! . I Keep Learning. Thanks/Gracias. See You And Talk To You Soon ! .
Rusty you are an inspiration...i havent touched a guitar since i was 18 and im now 57.....bought a guitar, amp, go to pedals( phase 90, evh 5150, evh flanger, boss chorus)...now comes the hard part...learning chords and scales again and building up my finger strength. Thanks for the tips!
Hi Rusty, thank you for this video. I have not played guitar in many years (played in high school in the 70s), and even then I only took a couple of lessons from a guy showing me what he called power chords. After that I was concentrating on trying to play lead and didn't really learn rhythm chord playing, or even reading music. I was just going by what sounded good. So, all of these years later, I'm looking for a simple way to get back into playing. I think this video, combining rhythm and lead, along with learning some basic notes, will help me a lot. Have a great rest of the week and weekend! Marc
I’m excited for you Marc! I took about a 20 year break, and when I started playing again is when I really realize how much I enjoyed the instrument. And I know you will, too! It’s time to start having fun! Thanks for watching the lesson and let’s talk soon.👍
@@rustysguitar1 Thanks, Rusty. I agree, time for some fun. My wife plays the drums, and I picked up an electronic keyboard last year, then a 3-string slide guitar last month. We are making a music room in our house, and we need to start having fun together with it.
All I can say is AWESOME LESSONS! You get straight to the point! Just learning the 1st position of the Minor Pentatonic and then learning the notes is very important then you point out the Major 3rd which you are teaching the bar chord and this opens the door for any good leads!! Easiest guitar lesson to jump start any beginner! Thanks 🙏🏻
Hey Kevin, yes, just adding a note here and there to the pentatonic scale really helps it come alive! Thanks so much for checking out the video and let’s talk soon🤛
Have liked a lot of the other complimentary comments, but in summary, I like the way you get right into it, and you are really helping me get from a rhythm guitarist to being able to do runs and fills based on the chord structure. Which is what I need in my covers band. I don't have the time to learn all the song solos note for note, and often just need to do a sort-of solo over a set of verse chords. Your teaching is aimed at this approach and level. Great stuff!👏👏🤘🤘
Hey Paul, I love this comment!!! You really just summarized what my channel is all about! I’m glad the lessons are helpful and have a great week! Thank you Paul 🤛
Hi Rusty , I have played guitar for many years , way before anything like your channel was thought of . You have given me so many new playing ideas that were under my fingers and i never saw them before, thank you so much
I’m excited for you, Brian! I’m glad the lessons are giving you new ideas and confidence. Thanks so much for your support and have a great week buddy.👍
Brillant Rusty as always👍🙏. I had a lot of fun with this Lesson. Thank you. I saw that now over 85.000 people like your lessons in a very shorts time. You deserve it because you explain your lessons step by step and not so quick as some other teacher. You take care to the oder Player like me. 🙏👍. Please go on like this and congratulation for over 85.000 Fans 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏🎸🎸🎸
What a great tutorial. I’ve been playing for a long time and sorting my theory knowledge and application is what I’m focusing on and this is a great example of that integration. Great stuff. Really enjoying the channel.
Hey Dave, I’d like how you said, sorting my theory knowledge and the application. A lot of players struggle with this. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos.👍
nicely crafted topic, its so simple it might just work when under the pressure of live jamming i can see extending those targets into the other 4 shapes, and also I noticed the 3 target notes in a different order are all the chords 6th degree with respect to G C D , E A B are the 6th degree, but as B E A are 3rd , 3rd and 5th , thanks for the nudge on resorting the perspective
I first learned the natural minor (diatonic) scale. It has those extra notes. Then you practice the minor pentatonic along with it. Then it kind of makes more sense
Using the same theme from Fleetwood Mac (Christine McVie's great tune)..........you definitely make lead guitar playing fun, Rusty! Once again here you display your concepts nicely and well-paced which allows us to absorb them into our own. One dynamite idea would be after you do a few well taught lessons (say 5-6) that you'd do a separate one that only highlights the 5-6 previous lessons as a review or reminder after working through them separately. I recall this great concept from my days studying for my CPA and it truly works to get the cognitive brain ............or whatever the area of our brains that lock into long-term memory kick in. Jim C.
Hey Jim, i’m happy to hear you liked the lessons. That’s a great idea. About doing some videos and then doing a recap video putting it all together. Thanks a lot for the feedback! Talk to you soon Jim!🤛
Great tips especially for the solo. If you drop the pinky to add the high 7th on the rhythm track, it screams bluesy! (especially on the four or five). Sneaking it into the solo adds some spice. Thx for another informative vid.
I spent a lot of years trying to learn this stuff, so I definitely relate to everyone that is learning! And I appreciate the comment and have a great week Terry 👍
Though I am a beginning level player I always learn from your lessons. Your clarity is very conducive to helping understand the concept. Thank you for sharing your experience, knowledge and passion. GO CUBS GO
@@chucklutter7399 in this video, we are focused on the A minor pentatonic scale. Then I explain that we are using the A-D-E chords for these examples. Then we are adding an extra note from each chord. So the A minor pentatonic scale is the structure and in this video, we are adding major notes for a bluesy sound. But we are not looking at other scales just the A minor pentatonic for the structure. Hope this helps chuck.👍
Thank you for the quick response. An hour or so after reading it I remembered you saying, in the video, that the note is in the chord but not the A minor pentatonic. Thank you for your patience in re-explaining this concept. Have a GREAT day
Hey Chris, thanks for checking out the video. If I’m not mistaken on the 5 chord, I also bend the F sharp note up to G sharp, which is the third of the E chord. Using all of the notes of the E chord. I really appreciate the question and the feedback. Talk to you soon.👍
Re inspired to work on “Need your love so bad.” Written by Little Willie John and his brother Wiltsie, but I can’t get enough of Peter Green’s version right now. And guess what? It’s in A major, just what you covered. 😊
Very nice lesson. Well presented. Just the right pace and right amount of information. I agree with others. You have a really nice teaching style. Liked and Subscribed !!!
Oh yeah I definitely love the major pentatonic over the 1-4-5. I’ve done several major sounding lessons lately, so I wanted to switch it up to the minor pentatonic. Thanks.👍
Awesome, one day I hope something clicks, anything clicks I think I’ll have to forego bar chords like many I’m still not following. I get add the extra note once I find them, I think you are saying play the pentatonic and add a note Thanks for sharing

Thank you John! Good to hear from you! Hope you have a great Sunday🙏
Glad I found your page good teaching love it . I will be watching it some more! I've Been playing Guitar for a very long time.
I’m glad you found my channel Paul! Let’s keep rocking together😎
Using the same theme from Fleetwood Mac (Christine McVie's great tune)..........you definitely make lead guitar playing fun, Rusty! Once again here you display your concepts nicely and well-paced which allows us to absorb them into our own. One dynamite idea would be after you do a few well taught lessons (say 5-6) that you'd do a separate one that only highlights the 5-6 previous lessons as a review or reminder after working through them separately. I recall this great concept from my days studying for my CPA and it truly works to get the cognitive brain ............or whatever the area of our brains that lock into long-term memory kick in.

Hey Jim, i’m happy to hear you liked the lessons. That’s a great idea. About doing some videos and then doing a recap video putting it all together. Thanks a lot for the feedback! Talk to you soon Jim!🤛
I’ve always played rhythm for years and wanted to learn how to play lead. Super Easy to follow. Thanks!
Sounds good Anthony! That’s exciting! Thank you for checking out my lessons! Later 👍
Another straight up concept well present for us commoners! Tnx
I’m glad to hear that! Thanks a lot for checking out the video. Thanks and catch you later.👍
You have the sound and your generosity showing us how to get their . Thanks.
Right on Richard! I appreciate that! Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos! Later, bro 😎
Always wonderful guitar lesson! Great work my friend!
thanks for wonderful sharing!
Thanks TAK! Much appreciated mate 👍
fantastic again, Rusty ! what a wonderful fitting strap to this top guitar ! have a good week ! love it at 6:20 !👍🏼
Thanks Wolfgang! Simple fun stuff! You have a great week also with that guitar buddy✌️
Great tips especially for the solo. If you drop the pinky to add the high 7th on the rhythm track, it screams bluesy! (especially on the four or five). Sneaking it into the solo adds some spice. Thx for another informative vid.
Adding that pinky is always a good move! Thanks so much for checking out the video! Talk to you soon man👌
Great lesson Rusty thanks ........Paul from Ireland

@@rustysguitar1Does the A major pentatonic exist? If so which scale are you pulling this note from? Thank you in advance. BEST AND PEACE
@@chucklutter7399 in this video, we are focused on the A minor pentatonic scale. Then I explain that we are using the A-D-E chords for these examples. Then we are adding an extra note from each chord. So the A minor pentatonic scale is the structure and in this video, we are adding major notes for a bluesy sound. But we are not looking at other scales just the A minor pentatonic for the structure. Hope this helps chuck.👍
Thank you for the quick response. An hour or so after reading it I remembered you saying, in the video, that the note is in the chord but not the A minor pentatonic. Thank you for your patience in re-explaining this concept. Have a GREAT day
Anytime, my friend! I hope you have a rockin rest of your week Chuck👍
Whats not to like about this lesson, Thanks Rusty
I appreciate that JW! And you’re very welcome bud 🤛
Nice tune. Great lesson.
Thanks for watching! Greatly appreciated👍
Great teaching, generously and freely given! I am tho puzzled by why you emphasize the 5th of the V and not the third.
Hey Chris, thanks for checking out the video. If I’m not mistaken on the 5 chord, I also bend the F sharp note up to G sharp, which is the third of the E chord. Using all of the notes of the E chord. I really appreciate the question and the feedback. Talk to you soon.👍
Rusty your great, easy to follow 😊
I appreciate that! Have a happy new year buddy👍

Re inspired to work on “Need your love so bad.” Written by Little Willie John and his brother Wiltsie, but I can’t get enough of Peter Green’s version right now. And guess what? It’s in A major, just what you covered.

Rusty, what do you think about playing the Major pentatonic over the 1 4 5? More Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker maybe?
Oh yeah I definitely love the major pentatonic over the 1-4-5. I’ve done several major sounding lessons lately, so I wanted to switch it up to the minor pentatonic. Thanks.👍
Great job, Thanks
Thanks MR! And you’re very welcome!👌
Fantastic stuff Rusty as always,❤ thanks buddy.
Cool looking L/P
Thank you Lefty! Always good to hear from you! Yes, I love that. Les Paul! Talk to you soon.👍
Awesome, one day I hope something clicks, anything clicks
I think I’ll have to forego bar chords like many I’m still not following. I get add the extra note once I find them, I think you are saying play the pentatonic and add a note
Thanks for sharing
Keep working at it! Thanks for watching👍
