Dude, these are great! Make this a regular segment! Not only will we all watch them all in full - we will watch it multiple times back n forth to repeat practice. And again in following weeks to drill them I to long term memory. You have a lovely, simple & melodic way of phrasing - I've always thought that.
Darrell, I have watched many of your videos over the years, mostly gear reviews, and they are always good. However, this type of teaching video is really superb, and judging from the other comments, many agree. Please continue these types of teaching videos.
Great lesson I've been teaching and playing lead guitar for 40 yrs. But I fell in the trap of minor pentatonic scale and modes for so long but neglected major pentatonic therefore have trouble visualizing licks in the major version. This video opened door to where I can visual new licks in the Major pentatonic.Great Video👍
I don't usually comment in this type of video but man...this is quality content, continue with this great work Darrel, this is premium teaching and content 👏
Darrell. I've been playing a couple years and work the pentatonics pretty regularly to a backtrack. I'm doing 5 of these at a time. I just want to thank you for putting this out. You should sleep like a baby at night knowing all the joy you're bringing to people. God bless.
Thank you so much, Darrell, for this video...love that PRS! Recently bought a used 2014 PRS-SE Custom (Vintage Sunburst) and just ADORE it--love the way the neck feels in my hand and how light-weight they are. Hope to get a PRS-CE someday...is there really that big of a difference between the two? Keep the great videos coming.
@@chadbouterse8617 oh. Thx for the tip. No, I don't want a PRS to be a superstrat - there are too many fantastic superstrats for that. I want a PRS to be more Les Paul...but with Strat concessions to playability. So...DGT? 🤷♂️
If you just want something of nicer quality that is more les paulish with strat concessions.. you could just go with a core custom 24... Just for some perspective, I’ve had just about every model that PRS makes under $4000 and the two that Ive kept and love are a Core Paul’s guitar (very les paulish with a thicker neck and infinite tone possibilities) and a CE (very super strat, hair metally with a thinner neck). Of course, you could play any style of music with either, but thats the vibe i get inspired by them. The best advise I can give you if to find a PRS dealer with a lot of stock when your ready and spend a few hours playing them all. You’ll know which one speaks to you and thats the one you want :)
Hey Darrell. These licks have taught me a lot. I’ve been going over them quite a bit and it’s really helped me out! I’m no longer in a rut. So thanks for being the most melodic guitarist in the TH-cam community. It’s coherent and it sounds great.
I do find DB to be EXTREMELY melodic. Never hear him play something that isn't gorgeous. When he did that Xavier/Guitarfetish Les Paul review, he just starts playing gorgeous lines to a backing track.
This is the first time in my 3 years of trying to play that I was able to play something with some melody. I especially loved that there are so many potential variations that jump out at me. 🤯🤯
Darrell - thank you for this video...just what I needed. Not only great sounding licks to keep in my back pocket (to quote you), but also learning some new techniques. Like lick 7 with the bend while keeping the pinky anchored...never thought I'd get that but I did!! that makes me so happy!! thank you!!
Thanks Darrel! I've been playing for a while and have all the pentatonic shapes down, but still lack the "vocabulary", as it were, to put licks together. This will give me a great start, cheers!
Thanks for the licks! Slower licks need to be accurate so each bend, note has a chance to shine- well done simple lesson! My biggest problem with solos(other than me playing😆) is trying to smoothly transition to things the licks together. Any suggestions?
Dear Darrel, thank you so much for these wonderful licks and the accompanying backing track. I've been looking for something like this for a long time. You have motivated me as an electric guitar beginner not to give up playing solo. please more of these practical aids. i love your channel. Greetings from Cologne, Germany. Wolf 👍
Great tutorial,.love the content and the laid back delivery style, I've only just discovered your channel and will enjoy working my way through it I'm sure. 🤘
These are awesome! Beginner with one month under my belt as of today. Been working on these for two days along with pentatonic and some chords. But I love these little licks. Not great at the slides.....need to have my volume higher up and use my humbucker rather than single coil on my superstrat. I can get a slide to go forward but not really good at going backwards....and certainly not the forward and back. But still have fun with it and working on it. Thanks!
God...At last learned some proper licks after watching this..thank you so much..keep up your good work..could you please to the same with minor pentatonic as well..thank you...
Thank you!!! for sharing that lovely licks!!!!, With your inpiration I did my better solo after one year playing guitar. (I start With 46) greetings from Spain 🤟😎, you play cojonudo 🎸
Dude, these are great! Make this a regular segment!

You have a lovely, simple & melodic way of phrasing - I've always thought that.
Agreed!!!
Yup I have watched this 3 times now, playing along.
Thank you. This has been so helpful to me. I'm 76 and just getting out of rythym to soft and gentle leads. This is a great start for me.
Anyone else who hopes that he would tie them all together in one long solo over that backing track?
Exact same thoughts, was waiting for a solo.
That's your job... Put in the work!
Yep, totally
I was waiting, til I saw this comment
im just halfway through and thought he would do that by the end, kinda disappointed now
Hi Darrel, I play for about 14 months now and it is very stimulating to watch this video because this time I can play along. It's doable!
Darrell, I have watched many of your videos over the years, mostly gear reviews, and they are always good. However, this type of teaching video is really superb, and judging from the other comments, many agree. Please continue these types of teaching videos.
If only every guitar teacher would do lessons this way... Most other ones just brag of their guitar skills. You are great, man.
These sound very wonderful! So cool, and of course they can definitely be expanded on and inspiring with that tone! Cheers!
Great lesson I've been teaching and playing lead guitar for 40 yrs. But I fell in the trap of minor pentatonic scale and modes for so long but neglected major pentatonic therefore have trouble visualizing licks in the major version.

The first lick is the hook lick for a worship song, From the Inside Out. Awesome vid!
I thought it was familiar, couldn't put my finger on it 🤣🤣
not exactly
Some beautiful licks! Can you also do a "10 minor licks you should know" plz!
Yes please!
Here here
You just adapt that to minor. It's almost the same.
Yes
Its the same thing. Licks in D major are licks in B minor.
Darrell. I've been playing a couple years and work the pentatonics pretty regularly to a backtrack. I'm doing 5 of these at a time. I just want to thank you for putting this out. You should sleep like a baby at night knowing all the joy you're bringing to people. God bless.
Great Video! always were a fan of your licks. Also a great teacher 🙌
Great video, absolutely love this format. Hopefully there's more like this to come.
Yay a lesson video! love the gear videos but also love these lessons too!
I’ve been playing guitar on and off for 11 years so I feel so far behind on where I’m at but thank you so much for this video
Excellent job! Simple but tasty! Thank you for sharing these!
These are amazing! Really love the one around 9:25
Wow very beautiful licks Darrell, definitely worth learning.
That guitar is insanely beautiful!
Thank you so much, Darrell, for this video...love that PRS! Recently bought a used 2014 PRS-SE Custom (Vintage Sunburst) and just ADORE it--love the way the neck feels in my hand and how light-weight they are. Hope to get a PRS-CE someday...is there really that big of a difference between the two?
Keep the great videos coming.
I feel exactly the same way about my SE...and about getting a CE someday. Looks like it could be that "perfect guitar"....
The bolt on CE has a more superstrat feel... whereas the SE (assuming its a custom 24) is more of a hybrid between a strat and less paul...
@@chadbouterse8617 oh. Thx for the tip.
No, I don't want a PRS to be a superstrat - there are too many fantastic superstrats for that. I want a PRS to be more Les Paul...but with Strat concessions to playability.

Just got back into playing. You are one of my favorites YTers. Thank you.
This is a great lesson to start practicing pentatonic licks and find out what works best for your style. Thank you!
WOW! I really needed these. Thank you so much. Please keep these segments coming...

Was feeling a bit of a creative block on this solo in major. This was some nice inspiration to get back at it!
Such a beautiful guitar! Thanks for sharing these licks, I look forward to adding these as flairs in my own hacky playing! Fun, fun, fun!
I can't thank you enough for this!!! It really changed my playing. 🎯
Thanks Darrel! I've been playing for a while and have all the pentatonic shapes down, but still lack the "vocabulary", as it were, to put licks together. This will give me a great start, cheers!
These lessons are really helpful, you need to do more of pentatonics and arpeggios too
Thanks so much Darrel super cool licks you give me some good new ideas for my improvement!
What a great lesson for us newer players..thanks Darrell
Tbh, I love your 'old' intro
Thanks for the licks! Slower licks need to be accurate so each bend, note has a chance to shine- well done simple lesson! My biggest problem with solos(other than me playing😆) is trying to smoothly transition to things the licks together. Any suggestions?

Very nice ideas to practice, thank you!
Where's the tab? I'm buying!! Cheers!! Never mind! Found them on your patreon! Perfect!
Beautiful phrasing!
I agree it would have been nice to hear how they sound all tied together.

Soooooooooo .. no new licks on the durstburst ? .. 🙌🙌🙌
What guitar are you playing? Nice looking instrument.
Just bought a guitar today. Guy at the store said to check you out. Any interest in doing a series for beginners?
Very nice. You should throw in these lessons, covering basic skills, more often. BTW, that PRS guitar is beautiful and sounds great.
