@2:17 --- "It's better to play the wrong notes with a good rhythm sense...rather than good notes with poor rhythm phrasing." ^^^^^ This right here is some much needed advice for most players (myself included). Thanks for the great lesson!
Thank you David, it is far the best video i have seen on the subject. I work on fusion phrasing for years and for the first time i have a perfect explanation of what to do. Flow, chromatisms and shapes. You are great David.
Absolutely agree!!!!! I’ve been trying and researching and this video alone changed my perspective!! And I’m no beginner, I went to college for music and I guess I was trying to over complicate it and figure out what scales they play! This is awesome!..
The video is stunning... Which notes should I land on and which should I avoid? I mean, I sometimes have some difficulty in bringing out the 'sound' and 'color' of the scales (this applies to the Dorian mode as well). Thanks!
Yeah i agree, thank you David, one thing though, one of my fav players is tom quayle, but the man who started it all back in 1969 was Allan Holdsworth, who is an absolute genius even today after his very sad passing omg ;(
One of my favorite video from this channel is the"Spiritual Aeolian" And now you teaching fusion is really really good. Making complex information into a very easy to understand info. Cheers! Thank you for teaching music theories. Superb!
woah the idea of shapes is so simple, yet so sonically satisfying. It sounds like its both out and in at the same time. Very easy to implement , but sounds very complex. mind blown.
Dude, this was great video! I'm a Fusion FREAK!, '(70- '86) Play the reeds, but really enjoyed the lesson. You're a good teacher. Plan on watching your other videos this weekend. Thanks and Cheers
If only I had found your channel earlier. Been looking for youtube guitar teacher that teaches the very basic knowledge of playing guitar, namely getting along with the rhythms. So many "teachers" teach how to use scale the right way, but never seen one that teaches the way you can use every scale you know. Thank you so much. Greetings from new subscriber ;)
You were the first video I ran across when I typed what is fusion music. I'm so glad you came up first. This is exactly the type of music i want to play.
Wonderful! I always imagine those fusion sounding notes are complicated modes and scales that you play over even more complicated harmonies. Now I know they're just chromatic gimmicks..now I know..
In addition to guitar skills, your teaching skills and methodology are amazing. I know my modes I know scales I know chords, I even know melodic minor I know that you can play super locrian on V degree and so on and so on, but never figured out how to sound fusion. Thanks to your video (still not. Fully comfortable as I would like, but it's the whole point of guitarist to be never satisfied 😂) I was able to do my first real fusion improvisation!! You were simply one of my firsts fusion unlocker 🔓! Thanks a lot 🎸 🔥
I’ve been trying and researching this subject for years and this video alone changed my perspective!! And I’m no beginner, I went to college for music (classical ) and I guess I was trying to over complicate it and figure out what scales they play! This is awesome!..
David, thanks for this. A very succinct and clear explanation on how to approach fusion improvisation. You clearly have a strong foundation in this. Please make some more videos on fusion and improvisation. TH-cam is very light on these guitar subjects. For other TH-camrs looking for good videos on improv and phrasing check out Barney Kessels series which is floating around.
When someone asked me a while ago "why don't you like jazz fusion"? I said because it sounds like they are hitting all the wrong noted while being in time and it makes my head and lips move oddly.
That's what I call give a hand. Thouse Master tips really blew my mind, and Im not talking about freaking out, ok just a little. Thanks SOO much, the trick is in the simplicity of how you explain the things. Nice channel, I'm subscribing for more stuff.
I am new to fusion guitar and your videos are very helpful. Serious question: when do you sound BAD at playing fusion guitar, of in other words: what should one avoid? Playing with bad timing, playing passing notes slowly, landing on passing notes...?
Tone is really good ! I just sub and sign in , get the backing ( pretty good by the way ) , blown away by the contents on the website , thank U so much
I never understand what teachers do on the guitar when they say I ll play triplets or any other subdivision ...I cannot associate the played notes they play with subdbision they spoke would do. What do I need to do to learn?
Try playing one note at a time; don’t subdivide. I’m working on my fusion playing right now, and when I get lost (what he calls “freak out”), I slow everything down to one note a beat, sometimes one note a bar. In case you don’t understand, I mean, don’t play like his “ta-ka-ta-ka.” Play on Beats 1,2,3, and 4, or even play one note that lasts all four beats. Playing slower will help you find the flow/groove again. Hope that helps.
Just had to pause to say that I appreciated the seamless change in camera angle at 4:50. Keeps things fresh, and to my adhd brain, the slight novelty it brings makes it easier to stay focused.
I was thinking the same thing. But I think he's referring to uncontrolled freak outs, not necessarily sounding like you're freaking out but actually in total control.
hi david very nice guitar playing..i looked at comments and couldnt see the answer i was looking for...what fedal are you using ?..... much appreciated thanks for a great video ...cheers
Hello David, just saw this 4 years later…I’m struggling to find the backing track you are using here in the description. If it’s still available, would it be possible to share the link in a reply or provide me with the name of the track? Btw how did you slow down the track? Thanks
hay do you know of any guitars made in Korea my grandfather passed away and we found an old guitar in the basement it was covered in dust and spider webs it was pretty nasty but I cleaned it up and put some new string on it plugged it in and it works but I have no clue what kind it is it has no name on it and no Vin number just a sticker that says made in Korea

Dude Ive been playing for 25 years and the concept off fusion has stumped me. By the end of this lesson I was playing my 1st fusion licks. Cheers.
Right? Crystal clear and most will be up and running immediately
Same here!! Just a great lesson thank you David!!!
agreed
My jazz professor used to always say a good note is only a half a step away. So many times that saved my freakouts.
Great source for those who really want to dig into fusion..love from Nepal 🇳🇵
Thank you David, it is far the best video i have seen on the subject. I work on fusion phrasing for years and for the first time i have a perfect explanation of what to do. Flow, chromatisms and shapes. You are great David.
Agreed! I started messing around with these concepts and holy crap, it sounds like fusion!
Absolutely agree!!!!! I’ve been trying and researching and this video alone changed my perspective!! And I’m no beginner, I went to college for music and I guess I was trying to over complicate it and figure out what scales they play! This is awesome!..

The 'freak out' is the perfect name to what happens! Excellent lesson man, thanks
Your teaching skills are so amazing! Really manages to reach everyone! You are one of da best David!
Yeah i agree, thank you David, one thing though, one of my fav players is tom quayle, but the man who started it all back in 1969 was Allan Holdsworth, who is an absolute genius even today after his very sad passing omg ;(
David Wallimann - the best, most insightful instructor on youtube, no doubt, bar none!
This was my first visit and I'm glad I stopped by

woah the idea of shapes is so simple, yet so sonically satisfying. It sounds like its both out and in at the same time. Very easy to implement , but sounds very complex. mind blown.
I've played guitar for 12 years now. Never really figured out fusion playing. Until now, great video

Such a great lesson. Thanks man!
Great stuff David..!!
Can you do a video on achieving the tone please? I've always wanted to see a video on how to get that 90's Shawn Lane, Greg Howe tone.
Great video, thank you!
Thanks man.....love your every course....!!!!!☺☺😀😁😁😊
Love ftom nepal
Thank you... You opened A FEW doors for me!

thankyou! 👌
Wow....so good...seems so simply
What kind of pickups our best for fusion rock great stuff love it
you, sir, are a wicked awesome teacher.
Man this is badass brother!!
This has answered a lot of my questions.👍🏽👍🏿👍
Thanks again David - even your 'freakouts' sound bang on point ;)
Tone is really good ! I just sub and sign in , get the backing ( pretty good by the way ) , blown away by the contents on the website , thank U so much
Wow... you just got it all, thanks a lot for sharing that, you rule, dude...
Fusion using a lot of chromatic notes right?. Some of the notes sounds individually off but the whole things combined sounds so harmony
Hello David, you are so Amazing, can you share that fractal preset
I never understand what teachers do on the guitar when they say I ll play triplets or any other subdivision ...I cannot associate the played notes they play with subdbision they spoke would do. What do I need to do to learn?

Cool lesson
Really cool video man, thank you!
Thanks man, Amazing lesson!
Very helpful as always, thanks!
Best Guitar teacher in the WORLD ! // +100
What amps would you recommend to play fusion?
What's wrong with those freakout-moments? They sound great to my ears! Nothing wrong with staying in off-scale-land a little longer.
I was thinking the same thing. But I think he's referring to uncontrolled freak outs, not necessarily sounding like you're freaking out but actually in total control.
I purchased one of your instruction videos around 15 years ago. I'm sure that have gotton better .sent a link on this topic,
You're an excellent guitar player brother! I just subbed. Also, what kind of guitar is that, I really like that with the PAF style humbuckers.
hi david very nice guitar playing..i looked at comments and couldnt see the answer i was looking for...what fedal are you using ?..... much appreciated thanks for a great video ...cheers
Awsome stuff man
great video
Hello David, just saw this 4 years later…I’m struggling to find the backing track you are using here in the description. If it’s still available, would it be possible to share the link in a reply or provide me with the name of the track? Btw how did you slow down the track? Thanks
What is the progression?
Ok you are right handed why are the tuning pegs upside down ?
That was an insanely good tutorial.
Where are you getting your tones? They’re always spot-on... great vid, BTW.
Axe FX.
One more HUGE thing about "GOOD" Jazz Fusion in compositional skills/song writing.
hay do you know of any guitars made in Korea my grandfather passed away and we found an old guitar in the basement it was covered in dust and spider webs it was pretty nasty but I cleaned it up and put some new string on it plugged it in and it works but I have no clue what kind it is it has no name on it and no Vin number just a sticker that says made in Korea
Its probably a good guitar. Korean guitars are good
You are a great musician and a great teacher. Thank you for your generosity.
How do you get that guitar tone? what effects are they?
I wish I could learn from you in person
