Hey Ralph, I’m using the same set up as I always do in the videos. I’m using the Revv G20 amp set clean and driving it with the Revv tilt overdrive pedal. And also some reverb from the Strymon BigSky. And the Stratocaster is a 50th anniversary relic. It’s a very clean sounding Stratocaster. Thanks so much for checking out my videos.👍
That was all killer, no filler! Larry Mitchell once said, “If they don’t like the rhythm they’re not sticking around for the lead” Thank you so much Rusty!
I'm waiting for Sly to step in and start singing with the rest of the Family Stone while you're playing this, Rusty! This muting and funky strumming with single notes and especially double stops SRV style is a must-have technique!! Jim C.
Nice lesson. Phrasing ideas, for me, are the most valuable lessons. I know some people avoid Music Theory, but I really appreciate phrasing ideas, specifically with intervals in the key.
Another awesome lesson and your set up sounds great , love the tone . Thought that strat was a 62 reissue or something until i noticed the modern hardware . Looks and sounds really cool 👍🇬🇧
That is great, nice practice of the strumming hand.I would like to see more of that examples of the strumming. Love your Lessons so much. Greetings again from Germany.
Over 40 years ago now in December of 1983 I firsthand saw Stevie Ray Vaughan play at San Diego State’s Montezuma Hall, along with about 200 or so others that night. He was THE FIRST guitarist I saw that could absolutely play rhythm and then jump right into lead so fluidly ( I’d seen Billy Gibbons and ZZ Top only a couple years before that & he’s another one ) . Those guys were in 3 piece bands and like Clapton and Cream had to play “ Double Duty “ to get those killer songs they had in their heads out in reality to sound so good . Thanks for sharing your gift with us all Randy , you truly are a notch above here on TH-cam. Appreciate all you do my friend.😎👍
I can confirm that this method makes for excellent practice. Been doing it for years. You can create so many rhythmic patterns to solo between, and in every key. Keeps it interesting because it's different every time you pick up the guitar if you just start playing a groove from scratch. That's some tasty playing, Rusty, and another great lesson from you, man!
@rustysguitar1 Yes, sir. So much more fun and musical than running scales, picking exercises, etc. When your practice sounds like music and allows you to be creative, you wanna keep doing it!
How does one create licks with the scales? My biggest obstacle is thinking about what to play. I can listen to a rhythm part and learn it within a few times hearing it but can't seem to create any licks with the pentatonic or major scales I know. I can't seem to get out of that hole.
Using your rhythm talent to play lead is definitely the first step. And then limit yourself to only a few notes to create a lead phrase. And force yourself not to play through the whole scale. Just use the notes in the scale for structure to create small phrases. And copy the players that you like love! Keep working at it, Carlos 🤛
Thanks Paul! I’m not sure what stacked triads are. So I definitely don’t use them. I keep things a lot simpler than that. Basically am thinking about the structure of the Pentatonic scale. And adding chord tones as the chords come up in the progression. Sometimes that means triad shapes. Thanks a lot Paul for checking out the video.👍
Would really appreciate a lesson on various ways of picking through the first position minor pentatonic scale - starting from different notes, parallel notes, string skipping, different ways of making musical statements, melodic runs.
What a great lesson, merci Rusty. I've been spending more time on the piano recently, Burgmüller. But his first piece in Opus 100 is a pentatonics and scales song. My teacher is happy since I've been transposing it into all the keys. But in the song there is a part where you play the V of V, and I just realized that I can use it to modulate or change keys (I need to learn the difference, next lesson) withing the song. That will give it more continuity. This looks like the same principle. But that is for later on, I need to just sit down and practice this to get the basics. I've bookmarked this video also.
I don’t really have an order. But here is a playlist of some of the most important concepts to learn early on. th-cam.com/play/PLPmjfallclgvdv8ga5UkTS05d6ctU2QdO.html&si=EY8l-MKyw3NsHQaL. One of the most important things is being able to visualize the fretboard. So you can look down and see and also here in your head what you want to play. These videos will help you do that! I’m glad I can be a part of your Guitar journey! Keep rockin Michael 👍
@@rustysguitar1 that one sounds too good. the older they get the better i love the sound but really could never get the feel of it in a heavy metal jam
This rhythm is in 4/4 time. 2 down strokes with the right hand for each beat. 8 down strokes per measure if you are counting it. But you want to be able to feel it. There’s an element of randomness when you add the little lead guitar fills. This can be a challenge, but such a fun way to play the guitar. Keep working at it and thanks a lot for checking out my videos.👍
My channel is really geared for electric guitar. But you can certainly check out my rhythm guitar lessons and apply them to the acoustic guitar. Thanks. th-cam.com/video/szSfInD8t4E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8fQ0OUWTO3zptAcK
It’s a 50th anniversary Stratocaster. But not much as original on it. I added stainless steel frets, custom shop pick ups and the relic finish. I love that clean and clear Stratocaster for sure! Thanks for checking out the video.👍
Rusty,what are you using to get that wonderful sound.
Hey Ralph, I’m using the same set up as I always do in the videos. I’m using the Revv G20 amp set clean and driving it with the Revv tilt overdrive pedal. And also some reverb from the Strymon BigSky. And the Stratocaster is a 50th anniversary relic. It’s a very clean sounding Stratocaster. Thanks so much for checking out my videos.👍

I will definitely do one coming up shortly. Thanks.✌️
Almost one hundred thousand people. Excellent Rusty . Thank you so much.❤
Thanks a lot Jon! I appreciate you taking part of the journey!!! Talk to you soon!👍
Of course. He puts training wheels on the fretboard.
