This makes a ridiculous amount of sense. The number of ways you can learn guitar seems to be infinite but not everyone learns the same way. This is awesome.
The reason why I subd is because I have seen a few of your videos. I like the why you are honest about your struggles and mistakes . You relate well to a newbie to the guitar and explain things really well. I have been stuck in the minor pentatonic scales for a long time. Now I am trying all the new things I have learnt from your lessons. Sometimes you show things that a newbie cannot see and seem obvious after your explanation. Brilliant videos Bro.
Is guitar shredding mainly a method to pluck every single chord note before the next chord transition? No matter how quickly the rhythm guitarist or whatever musical instruments in the rhythm section change chords.
This is hands down the single greatest guitar lesson on soloing I've seen in 30 years of playing. If been so disheartened time and time again bc I couldn't figure out how to get out of playing scales. This is truly a game changer. Great video David, great content and straight to the point. Amazing!
This was BEYOND FANTASTIC!!! And anyone reading this needs to know, don't fast forward or think that "I've already got this" because you don't. This will be the best 11 minutes that you've ever spent in your life - Trust Me. David, you RULE!!!
This is the greatest guitar lesson I have ever seen (and I am age 70) and I think David Wallimann is flat out amazing. I have been exposed to a lot of material on music theory, scales, and modes, and none of it has ever helped me to make real music or ever made enough sense to bother to master. Most people trying to teach music theory overly complicate matters and create a confused mess that makes it hard to master music. David Wallimann has cut through all that mess as far as I am concerned, and I am going to pick up my guitar again at age 70 (after about a 50 year layoff) and try this again. I can never than you enough David Wallimann!
I learned music theory from my guitar teacher, Andy Weeders Ellis who wrote for Guitar Player. He taught me music theory in a very practical way. Very similar to this lesson here. Every guitar player should learn theory.
Great approach.I’ve applied this method and it works well. Once you have jumped in to this you can begin to explore double stops and the like. All it takes is time and practice, practice, practice. The only addendum to this is when the chord changes are rapid, you have to simplify even more or you will get lost.
I love it when someone confirms what I’ve just found out for myself - although I was limiting myself just to triads. What I’d love to see is an explanation of where and how to actually start soloing - I’m fine with rhythm playing and can sometimes hear the solos I’d like to play, in my head, but actually getting started soloing - that’s hard as hell! And the traditional ‘here’s a pentatonic pattern - now start noodling’ is just random noise to me! There has to be a set of principles, some logical place to get started….
Oh wow. I've been playing guitar for quite a long time but I've always steered clear of doing leads since I thought it was beyond my capacity. But while watching this, things just seemed to click into place! Thank you very much!
Simply wow! I’ve been playing guitar for a long time and I could never understand why some guitarists do solos so easily! I always knew there had to be a way to map these things. You Rock dude! Thank you for this great explanation!
Good lesson. I think it was Jimi Hendrix once said he plays his lines around the chord shapes. I might be wrong. When I was young all I focused on was scales and chops, but once I started this approach it totally opened up the possibilities in an easy way 👍
Thanks Sir..I invented this stuff 1994 I had 16 at that period was playing about a year by ear. Later friend of mine asked me how you do this I said by singing notes in head what I want to play over chords changes..it was helpful for me and even today I using this method through the scales Regards
you are the best most simplest explanation easy to understand about lead guitar exploring that ive watched, ive been playing guitar for 10 to 15 years now as a hobby and this one is like plug and play understanding about guitar. very rich informative video.
Thank you David, You are explaining in most easiest way possible, destructing the comp liquated false lessons, you are real teacher who want to see people advancing in guitar playing
I was recommended this video by my YT feed, and I have to say, this is the best video I've ever came across randomly that can explain scales that well! You've earned yourself a subscriber and a student! ❤️😍 Thanks man
thank you so much this is so simple and so helpful, probably the first video involving guitar I have seen in which I actually came out learning something
This made so much sense to me. I never thought to listen to the song and figure out what kind of chord progression to listen for and THEN add some style to the music. You honestly helped me understand this quickly 🤙🏼
Great Teaching Info ! I'm 64 and have been Playing Guitar for quite Awhile,[ non-professionally] . This is Amazing ! last night I was working On A Christian Worship song..... My own own rendition and Looped the Basic Acoustic Chords and then had my electric and playing along with acoustic trac and the chords to this song are about Identical to what you just played!!! E, F#m & F#m7, the A, The B, and B sus..... I was sitting here this Morning thinking about what I was Doing. this is B4 I had just seen this Vid! Great Stuff! There is A God In Heaven !
Nothing I didn't broadly know already but what a great teacher you are. You made this really clear and it inspired me to start creating some solos. You are truly a friendly and very gifted communicator. I just subscribed, Thank you so much for this video :)
Great for starting guitar players I would recommend learning to target chord tones as the progression changes no immediate need for theory just play one of the notes in the next chord
Omg! You are such a good teacher! Usually when I click on something like this the result I get at the end of the video is not what was promised at the beginning of the video, but you followed through and you explain it in a way people can understand! Thank you! I actually learned something ❤
Sir, you are the best guitar teacher. Many explain how to play a melodic solo, but no one explains it as beautifully and comprehensibly as you. Love from Austria(Europe) ❤
What program were you using to map out the superimposed notes on the fretboard? Was that Neck Diagrams? Or something else. Please tell us what it is and how to get it. I need access to that. I have GP7, wondering if it can do that?
I learned this way just by ear finding the notes that sound right on the fret board. I can now play along to most songs just by ear and recgnising the patterns betwern notes, which puzzles most 'trained' guitarists
Awsome...hope u could teach me more in person..i wish...coz since i was a kid i been longin to learn that tricks on how to make a solo guitar or addlibs.on music i want to play with...
Man, I wish I saw this or someone taught me this when I was younger. This just makes it easy. I noodled my way into memorizing the fretboard lol I still can't tell what I'm playing coz it's all muscle memory and hearing for me.
So basically take the pentatonic scale position of the home key n use that position as the skeleton n then add all the main chord tones from all the other chords in the progression&add the 3 chord tones from each following chord onto that skeleton&voila you've got yourself a tailor made custom scale containing the chord tones of all the chords in your progression so all you need to do is just play n emphasize all the changes by landing on that chords core tones without having to change positions or scales Genius man!
This is super amazing video. I had been a dinosaur in terms following a tons of lessons from personal to different kind of resources to learn the guitar. It took so many years but I am still a noob, not until I found this video. Thanks Bro for sharing and I wish I found this earlier days.
This is a great lesson. I have pretty much done this for 40 years. It impresses people when you can grab a note and start soloing but it's really just finding a root note and going from there. Makes it sound like I know what I'm doing. Lol!
Dude that was great and you deserve me hitting the subscribe button and giving you a like. One of the best instructional videos I have seen. Well done.
Been banging my head about this issue for a long time. Intuitively, I kept thinking this should be the case. When I came across this vid. it all came together. Thank you, David! SUBSCRIBED
First thought, here we go again, but carried on listening, f.m. connection. Brilliant , no condescension, ego, just right there, thanks david.72 haven't played for 40+ years this is just there, hell I even subscribed for the first time ever 🏴
I have a petty good grasp on theory and I am still struggling to put it to practical use, but I was able to follow your description of what you were doing. I bet you blew right past a lot of curious viewers at about the 7-minute mark. You started assuming foreknowledge that a lot of people who came here probably don't have. Still a good video for a guitar player at the right level. I like the different angle you have taken with this"method". Thanks for sharing.

Yes ask Ted nugent... Roy Clark Hendrix????
I appreciate how laid back you are. I don't get overwhelmed by the things you're teaching. Thank you!
All very good but you have to know the key to play in to join the backing track
Thank you bud you have broke it down for us less fortunate guitar players who can struggle through teachers who just confuse you.
This guy is a good communicator. Good teacher. He could teach anything. Excellent channel.
Just wow!!! how simplified you made it, not everyone can become a guitar teacher you’re a legend!

Thank you so much for letting yourself been used by God to acquire and share this wisdom. May He continue to bless you !
Very clever and concise way of explaining the relationship between chords and scales. An excellent and valuable lesson. Thank you very much.
This is hands down the single greatest guitar lesson on soloing I've seen in 30 years of playing. If been so disheartened time and time again bc I couldn't figure out how to get out of playing scales. This is truly a game changer. Great video David, great content and straight to the point. Amazing!
Thank you so much, you made my day!
@@Wallimann is there a way to make this work with power chords?
Totally agree
This was BEYOND FANTASTIC!!! And anyone reading this needs to know, don't fast forward or think that "I've already got this" because you don't. This will be the best 11 minutes that you've ever spent in your life - Trust Me.

Amazingly well explained, you have an incredible talent for both playing and teaching,
Oh my.. I got it clear and simple.. you are the first one to open my mind on this playing guitar for 45 years.. I thank you sir..
This is amazingly helpful. Being a visual learner makes it a bit tougher as a guitarist trying to expand. Thanks, David!!
As a guitar instructor I must say that this will help anyone (with ears).
Thanks Sir..I invented this stuff 1994 I had 16 at that period was playing about a year by ear. Later friend of mine asked me how you do this I said by singing notes in head what I want to play over chords changes..it was helpful for me and even today I using this method through the scales

This is a great video. You explain it in a way anybody understands. You are great!
Beautiful combination. I love the way you play. God bless you. David.
Oh man. This saved my life from playing the same pentatonic minor scales for the past 20 years.
Thanks!!!
Thats some awesome tone and feel...very Neal Schonn-esque...thanks David...watta lesson
This is brilliant! Such a great explanation. I’m teaching my niece music concepts, and your video is so helpful!
This is best explanation of soloing over chords I have ever heard. Great vid Brah!
Thank you David, You are explaining in most easiest way possible, destructing the comp liquated false lessons, you are real teacher who want to see people advancing in guitar playing

I’ve watched plenty of how-to videos but this one turned on a light bulb in my head. Thanks much!
So great your lessons in becoming a better player, AND understanding the theory. Then, putting into practical applications
This made so much sense to me. I never thought to listen to the song and figure out what kind of chord progression to listen for and THEN add some style to the music. You honestly helped me understand this quickly 🤙🏼

Yeah, I figured that knowing the pentatonic scale was enough for most of this.
Not exactly hard to move up the fretboard when you know the roots.
Been watching David for years, a true blessing
Great for starting guitar players I would recommend learning to target chord tones as the progression changes no immediate need for theory just play one of the notes in the next chord
Good information imparted with brilliant simplicity.
Well done mate.

Nice video… but it seems like you started out talking to beginners and ended up talking to advanced players. Keep up the good work, thx.
Take in what u can absorb. Later it will make sence......
@@paraflightjoe1053 yeah just like how my proficiency with English enabled me to understand his "Sence" as "sense". Trust the road ahead brotha
@@rexx273 😂
I agree i consider myself an intermediate but this was hard
😅✊😆
It's very clear and comprehensive explanation. Thanks.
I teach what I call Usable music theory. Pretty basic stuff that anyone can learn. Great video as always David!
Amazing video!! Stuggled with understanding solos for so long!
Nice basic way to determine the key. Works be good to add some info around the use of arpeggios also, specifically for modulations.
GENIUS way of dumbing it down, David!
Having. Studied theory for years I can get my head around it . Using sustain makes a big difference as it carried the notes over .
This is the #1 video ive been looking for. I applied this in 10 seconds and drove it all home.
I learned this way just by ear finding the notes that sound right on the fret board. I can now play along to most songs just by ear and recgnising the patterns betwern notes, which puzzles most 'trained' guitarists
I love the way how you explain this tutorial very clear
thank you for making it simple. I have tried learning this in other ways and it was always confusing. This is simple.
Love it. Excellent visual way to explain how to approach solo.. Well done
This is the best lesson , continue to teach in this easy way any body can understand.........
Awsome...hope u could teach me more in person..i wish...coz since i was a kid i been longin to learn that tricks on how to make a solo guitar or addlibs.on music i want to play with...
That makes much sense approaching the fretboard with this method. Thanks.

You are amazing 👏...complexities simply made easy...2 thumbs up
You are the funniest guitar instructor Iove you Paul. I understand everything. The lighting of your videos is epic wow
His name is David. Not Paul 😂😂😂😂😂

what is the software you use to create diagrams?
Great advice! Really melodic playing too.. thank you for the tips,much appreciated 🎸
Absolutely great lesson!!!!!!!! Thank you very much for it!
David…first time I have heard this explained in a way I can internalize! Thanks
Thank u Master David!!
You are such a sincere teacher..God bless u..
I just found this video, and I really appreciate how you've explained this. Thanks!
Good night, What an Awesome melody. I could listen to this guy play
All day. Little Eric Johnson in his style of playing lead. Thank you so much.
Absolutely excellent! Laid out so well and so clear! Thanks so much!
Thanks for posting. It's very informative for a beginner like me.
Also enjoyed your tasteful choice of notes through the rhythm.
Hi, David. Thank you very much for this very intresting lesson. I very like a sound of your guitar, please tell, which effects you use?
Thanks for your time and help…
May God Bless You!!
Great lesson, especially that mapping out the note of the chord progressions, and using it as a "scale". I'm really thankful for that!
Perfect explained 👍 i appreciate your teaching method, i have learned many things as you suggested in this vdo, thanks a lot man👍🎸
I watched a similar video but something is missing. Now i finally got the peace of the puzzle. Thanks David.
First time here. David, your approach to teaching guitar is unparalleled. Great job! (new Subscriber)
What is the strat? What position you are playing? What amp? Any pedal or efects? Sounds amazing
Been banging my head about this issue for a long time. Intuitively, I kept thinking this should be the case.

Great video! Where can I get a hold of the software you are using to score the chords etc?
Many thanks Barry
Great video really advanced and a huge short cut for experienced players and song writers, thanks you 👍👌❤️
Great tutorial and excellent method. The tune you played was so melodious.
On scale escape, be an idea to highlight on fret display what your, for a better term - fingering
Love your method!As soon as I get my hands fixed(dupytrene contracture)Both hands!I’ll use this method….thanks again….
Perfect lesson. Thanks for sharing.
Mi Gusta~ dees be one good lesson!
