    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 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!

  • @jimmy5634
    @jimmy5634 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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.

  • @rebeccaabraham8652

    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….

  • @lordseph

  • @BuckJoFiden
    @BuckJoFiden 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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 👍

  • @chaudrydanial
    @chaudrydanial 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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
