No matter how much I learn from other places, your videos always have something to offer. I'll have to get back to going through your site consistently!
Thank you so much Justin, you're an amazing teacher! These lessons are the first thing I found that feel so natural about changing minor and major pentatonics. I've been struggling with this for a long time even though I play guitar since 2002, but like many, when it comes to improvising, I stuck with the "safe" minor pentatonic. Please continue with these lessons and give more examples like these for us that are not so creative to make them up ourselves. after just these 3 last lessons of yours, I feel my understanding of this has improved massively. thanks
Cool man. Congrats on your progress. Can you, at a glance name every note on your guitar? If not, you must learn this ASAP. It will help you a lot. I've been playing a while too. IMHO it is really not about memorizing patterns and being able to just "play songs." That's fine if that is all you want, but for me, it is about "playing guitar." Really mastering the instrument. There is big difference. It seems like you appreciate some theory too (major/minor penta.) That will serve you very well. I like this teacher a lot. I also studied under some Berklee cats and Zombie Guitar is awesome too. He has a 12 week course to learn every note on the guitar. It's a really unique approach that I am enjoying. You learn one note, from one chord at a time in both major and minor form. This forces you to hear the intervals and see the patterns. You do this for all 12 notes. Even after the first chord, C, I learned a lot. I can really see the power of learning this.
Awesome lesson. Always have had a hard time to understand in other lessons how to play over the chords. This explains it very well and its easy to understand! Great job!
Wow! Hey, Justin! With this one, i just started playing. I started with the lick you showed us, then mixed it with one i had, then i just went crazy! I was already warmed up from the practice I've been doing all morning (from your previous videos), then i just really got into it. I impressed myself! I was mixing Major & minor, and next thing i knew, i was just playing like crazy. But the important thing to me was, i learned new licks and was in the zone, playing great! My intention starting out was NOT to improvise, but that's what i ended up doing. It was fun!
Very good advice Justin. Your suggestion to have integrated approach for; muscle memory, timing and musical feeling. Thank you very much! Cheers from Indonesia.
I've heard that A mayor pentatonic stuff constantly in some 80s TV action series. Love to learn this special licks now as a latetime starter on the electric guitar. Thank you so much for sharing.
luv it when ya pop in, and its a perfect blues lesson... my new hollowbody is so perfect, been on a freestyle bender fer 3 months - and right back to needing the blues...
Another great one! Justin is by far the best guitar teacher out there. I like most have tried countless online resources for improving at guitar but nothing compares to his instruction, at least for my level (intermediate). Thanks!
Another great lesson Justin. I'm just starting to get my head around mixing the minor and major pentatonic scales so it couldn't have come at a better time. This is of course classic B B KIng territory (though Albert King uses that second position lick a lot when he plays minor pentatonics). I thought for a moment you were going to change the string whilst you carried on with the lesson à la B B King ;-)
Great lesson as always, so glad you’ve started teaching this major pentatonic series. In class, the kids love it when I make a mistake, so much so that I sometimes do it deliberately just to give them the chance to point out my mistake. Is breaking a string the guitar teacher’s equivalent?
Hi Justin can you please do the same type of little series going over rock changes and how you would solo using the modes..thanks your very easy to understand
Ya never seen that...looks like a suhr but im not sure it is..... in fact i cant tell if its white or pink either lol i think its a filtertron type pick up tho
Awesome videos on the Major Licks, we always need these and thumbs up for keeping the string break in there. Looking forward to more Maj licks and tricks
very nice lessons, but i think it would by good for begginers that You say what are these notes instead of sayig only numbers of frets and strings. I think it would be very helpful to learn the notes on the fretboard for begginers of course... Big thanks for lessons, I've learned a lot from them.
maybe my mistake but i thought you said before if route chord is major, don't use minor scale over it. is this right? because in this video you say minor pentatonic over major route?? just wondering for leaning purposes. your videos are brilliant by the way. Thanks for sharing your huge knowledge

Have you named that guitar Vivi? My dog has the same name, and even though she don't like singing along with my guitar playing, she loves and howls along it when I play the harmonica.
When I do the bend on the high e string to C#, and then bend back down, my finger has grabbed the lower strings and causes them to ring out. Is there something wrong with my technique?
No it isn't :D | Learn all about this guitar here: www.justinguitar.com/guitar-lessons/gray-guitar-custom-build-jg-003 | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Guide, Approved Teacher & Moderator
@@justinguitar lol was lost in the youtubes man... You brought me back to sanity! Btw, after all these years, thanks for sticking around and keeping it real. Cheers!
I come back to these lessons time and again and pick something new up every time.
The reason I love his lessons is it’s simple and beautiful.....and he keeps in mind most of us are beginners or intermediate level players
Do you have tabs
thumbs up for breaking a string :)

You're a wonderful instructor. And I love your smiling disposition. A genuine sweet-heart, indeed. Thank you.

You make it look so easy, through dedicated practise, I will get there
I love the phrase "It's a bit thinky" - thanks Justin, top stuff as ever.
Awesome lesson. Always have had a hard time to understand in other lessons how to play over the chords. This explains it very well and its easy to understand! Great job!
Thanks Justin! Really nice three episodes on blues 🙌🏻 Grateful!
Way to play on after that string break! Been playing over 40 years...oh, if only the internet were available back then. Thanks, Justin!
I really appreciate you getting into the major sound to complement the minor.
Wow! Hey, Justin!

That studio keeps getting bigger n bigger , good for you man
Love this series Justin, thank you !
More coming next week!
I've heard that A mayor pentatonic stuff constantly in some 80s TV action series. Love to learn this special licks now as a latetime starter on the electric guitar. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love the blues...this series is pure gold for me. Classic way to end a song Justin, the string breakage thing. Thanks so much
This just explained what I have been hearing and trying to figure out why it worked!!! Thanks a lot!!
luv it when ya pop in, and its a perfect blues lesson... my new hollowbody is so perfect, been on a freestyle bender fer 3 months - and right back to needing the blues...
Great lesson! Just started with the blues, what would I do without your videos! Thanks again!
Absolute gold this stuff! You are the man Justin, thanks a ton! And handled that string break like a boss! You didn't miss a beat!
Another great one! Justin is by far the best guitar teacher out there. I like most have tried countless online resources for improving at guitar but nothing compares to his instruction, at least for my level (intermediate). Thanks!
This major pentatonic blues series is fantastic! Please keep it up.
And lo, the scales did fall from my eyes - and there was major magic. Cheers JG
Keep these coming!!! Please. I feel a break through coming
True Pro, Kept playin after a string break...The show must go on.
Thank you for this Justin! Your lessons really help me a lot to improve my knowledge on guitar.
Really like these last 3 videos. thank's!!
Love the string break on your guitar. I also just broke my high E string pushing that bend on the 7th fret.
Kept playing through that break. That's why Justin is a G.
Another great lesson Justin. I'm just starting to get my head around mixing the minor and major pentatonic scales so it couldn't have come at a better time. This is of course classic B B KIng territory (though Albert King uses that second position lick a lot when he plays minor pentatonics). I thought for a moment you were going to change the string whilst you carried on with the lesson à la B B King ;-)
Can you do a video/mini series on soloing over the turn-around?
Love this series, keep it up!
I am loving this series!!!
Great lesson as always, so glad you’ve started teaching this major pentatonic series.
In class, the kids love it when I make a mistake, so much so that I sometimes do it deliberately just to give them the chance to point out my mistake. Is breaking a string the guitar teacher’s equivalent?
Nice Lesson Justin. Thanks!
Cheers mate, this is a top series looking to break out of the minor pentatonic rut. Loving these, great as always
Thank you Justin! Cheers!
That's one good looking neck and fretboard!
Sure is!
idk why this just came up on my feed ...but very useful instruction. I was hoping for an SRV guitar switch though :)
very helpful for beginners like me thanks greetings respect ...
epo mahfudz
Thank you Justin for another great lesson.
Great series thank you
Great Lesson! thank you

Great lesson! Thanks,Justin!
Hi Justin can you please do the same type of little series going over rock changes and how you would solo using the modes..thanks your very easy to understand
OMG it's so good I can play this!!!
You are the best. Thank you
Sweet New axe. I've never seen one with a humbucker, single coil & gold foil (or is it a filtertron) together. Just missing a P90. Lol
Ya never seen that...looks like a suhr but im not sure it is..... in fact i cant tell if its white or pink either lol i think its a filtertron type pick up tho
Gray’s guitar, they have standard models you can customise to get whatever pick ups, hardware, colour you want.
Great lessons,thanks Justin
Justin, I’m loving these major minor lessons cause that is what I’m doing now with my playing. Do you have any lessons on common turn arounds?
Very cool Justin.
Tried playing on acoustic as you suggested sounds good
Great stuff. Really useful, thanks.
wow awesome idea thanks
Always great stuff 🎸
What kind of guitar is that? It looks awesome.
Great job, mate!!!!!
Cheers!
I also broke my high-e 2 days ago by practicing the solo on "something" using an acoustic
Awesome videos on the Major Licks, we always need these and thumbs up for keeping the string break in there. Looking forward to more Maj licks and tricks
thank you so much .. you got me so inspired that i want to learn how to play .. using your "what to look for" to look for an acoustic guitar ..ibanez?
Sounds great!
very nice lessons, but i think it would by good for begginers that You say what are these notes instead of sayig only numbers of frets and strings. I think it would be very helpful to learn the notes on the fretboard for begginers of course... Big thanks for lessons, I've learned a lot from them.

Vivi is my daughter - the guitars name is Little Sixes!
haha string break was great

I love your work
But I think your video may have been corrupted somehow. There’s a frame that is glitching in sometimes.
✌🏻❤️💪🏻
Might wanna clear your cache, no other reports of a problem!
Yeah I see it too. Video is fine then a frame glitches in and out
I’m seeing it too
JustinGuitar I got it too. The thumbnail pops up sometimes.
@@justinguitar but it is only in the first few minutes...
Was that normal for that string to break like that?
Is that a filtertron in the neck pickup?
No it isn't :D | Learn all about this guitar here: www.justinguitar.com/guitar-lessons/gray-guitar-custom-build-jg-003 | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Guide, Approved Teacher & Moderator
Sorry Justin. What is the brand of your new guitar?
video coming soon!
The Beatles-Birthday song. The same progression, almost the same lick ;)
@7:30 thought that only ever happens when I play guitar lol
Nope - that's all of us :)
I still get a little shock when i break a string
Broke my string as well 🤣
Ö
The easy thing here is the licks are the same just moved around. Major pentetonic skip a string, skip a strip and ride it down the neck.
String break!!! God that really bugs me... wish they didn’t always buy Ernie balls spares! Great lesson thanks Justin
Funnily enough it's not my normal brand, they're ones I was testing!
Tested and failed? Lol
"Oooh that E string has gone a bit flat - sounds like it might.....oh"
if your are not breaking your string you are not bending
I was watching gay guys eating a gross amount of ramen noodle before your notification showed up. Thank God. Thank you. Good Lesson as always.
That's one of the strangest comments I've seen in a while!
@@justinguitar lol was lost in the youtubes man... You brought me back to sanity! Btw, after all these years, thanks for sticking around and keeping it real. Cheers!
no tabs no tutorial waist of time
😅you spelt waste wrong!
Yeah, 7:30 made me jump
Thank you
What brand of guitar is that?
