Many years I've thought there must be a way to build super pentatonic speed this way but never been able to create a satisfying lick. So what can I say, danke danke danke!!! Really great stuff.
Reminds me of that Jack Butler riff Steve Vai plays on Crossroads with that incredible speed. This is a peak behind the curtain and might be one of the best guitar lessons on TH-cam. Fantastic stuff.
Hi Claus. I started on this about 10 days ago. I immediately discovered that my fretting hand did not have the strength, flexibility, stamina, coordination nor enough fingertip calluses to pull this off. So using one of your principles I've only been working on the high E string with hammer-ons and pull offs. At first I could only do this slowly for about 30 seconds before hand cramping or lactic acid made me quit. I'd play something else for a bit to let my hand recover then right back to it. At first I could only fret with the pinkie - not enought strength. And I couldn't get a good pull-off sound with the pinkie because the ring finger was too week and not holding the fret down solidly - pretty depressing. Ten days later: more callus, more flexibility, more strength and stamina. I can now actually hammer-on and pull-off with the pinkie finger - still not always accurate and not quite as strong of a sound as I'd like. I can also practice this for several minutes at a time as a loop before needing a short break. I'm excited about the progress even if it's slow. I intend to MASTER this so that eventually I can play the whole thing. Thanks so much for the instruction and inspiration. Enough typing break - back to practicing!
Same my pinky and ring finger are very weak in hammer on pull offs and difficult to reach the low E A and D strings on the 17th fret. Hope you’re doing well
Hey Claus. I so appreciate the fact that you move your other fingers out of the way so we can really see what you're showing us. It saves time and avoids the confusion of having to guess exactly which note or which string you're playing. Might seem like a small thing but it illustrates that you've got the mind of an excellent educator/instructor. Thanks man - I'm in!
@@williampercival7662 What the fuck are you talking about, everybody copies somebody else. It's all about inspiration. Children learn from copying their parents. A good guitarist develops his own style BY copying others. There's only 12 notes and so, there is only so much one can do.
@@williampercival7662 you have to copy stuff. Especially when you first start playing. I actually heard a kid once say "I don't listen to other people's music cuz a don't want anything to influence my own playing." All I could say was "good luck with that, (I guess)."
@@acedecade8222 lol yeah good luck… best to learn as much as you can from everyone then eventually after years of playing you come up with your own style
While it covers simple basics, the way you spit this information out so effectively efficient, it 'dwarfs' many of the long winded & time consuming videos that already flood youtube. Great channel man, I wish you the best success and hope more folks follow your example of delivering such efficient dialogue with their instructional videos. ... love that scalloped fret board. Cheers!
What!!? his was extremely long winded! If he had just combined showing the notes on the scale with what he did @ 13:29 the video would have been 10minutes shorter lol. I love the lesson though, just thank god FF
What is most appreciated is that you show the super importance of both hands, so many vids show the fretting hand only, your picking coverage makes it really cool, thanks.
I love that you are breaking this down to the level that you are! Too often, for me & elsewhere, too many things are assumed to be known; and too often, I do not. Thank you! Today, you have earned my subscription & I hope to see a great deal more!
Sh!t Claus... Ever since I came across your Guitar Mastery pentatonic videos I feel like the appointment with the physiotherapist is getting really close... And being a physiotherapist myself relying on my hands to earn my money... it kinda sucks... Hahahaha... Great videos and concepts... Been improving my pentatonic game on a whole lovel (runs, leggatos, speed) thanks to you. You´re the BOSS of online teaching. Period.
thank dude. finaly a well made video and well broken down step by step lesson on a great speed lick. subed. please make more vids on these types of licks. your a great teacher. now I have a lick I will practice for a long time.
Really great I appreciate this video I’m finally moving up to better my guitar playing after years of campfire playing and this all started from teaching my daughter so we are both kinda learning together and this helps thanks a millions
Great angke presentation first for me how you explained the frit board and finger placement instead off just saying 12 fit first string 15 frit 4 string you named it and ilestrated the technique that really help to actually see it rather than invisioning the technique..thank you other add on to my tool box..Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA 🇺🇸
@@SandBoy408 "Large delay" is not a thing. Basically time, mix and repeats. His mix is set low, his time are moderate and his repeats are at least three times each note. My point is if you're teaching a delay can appear to be muddy to a novice student. Listen to Dan Toler play guitar, unlike Eric Johnson who does use on every single song, Toler never did use delay! Eric Johnson actually is an exceptional traditional jazz guitarist..... No delay there!!
hip, hip hoorah for the return of the blue Squier strat! Great exercise - even the basic double note pattern sounds great, I could see that being very helpful in a choppy blues lick
Very nice breakdown thank you! I consider myself an intermediate guitar player and this is the kinda stuff im looking for. Although in my case i am left handed and i play a righty upside down kinda like JP cervoni, toni iommi or hendrix style. So i find with this exercise i have to tap where your pinky would hit and use my other two fingers accordingly if that makes any sense. But it is still very helpful to me. The one problem i have found playing the way i do is i have to convert the information to whats comfortable to my hand. Unfortunately but i have been playing this way for 20 years so theirs no going back lol. Still i play pretty good this way. What i do these days is buy lefty guitars and put a righty nut and change the string order. That way the guitars components are out of my way and the cutaway is still in my favor. Thanks! Rock on!!
Actually been playing this for a few weeks and it has helped, cant play loud and hammer off but just picking- but it has helped with finger placement and feels good. thanks for thie video
I slowed down the video and noticed that your phrasing has changed in the fast part when you played it at full speed.. but while you were teaching it, everything was linear.
Somewhere in that riff should be a double open string crunch between shifts. I clearly do not understand anything you said but the guitar said add a open string crunch please. So I did.
Yes I do. I am never getting rid of it. It a Daphne Blue Squier Deluxe with medium jumbo frets. Not stainless steel. And the neck is scalloped in case you didn't notice :)
Your pull offs is a lesson of its self you plucke it and your finger hits higher pitched string like a temp or a snap that is cool hit that bad boy.. one more thing does scalope fret bord what is the theory behind scaloped frit board and is it only done on maple bord. Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA 🇺🇸
I use a Dimarzio chopper in the bridge (Clearest most trebly humbucker) and a Dimarzio Red Velvet in the neck position. Most powerful single coil on the market...
yeah my hands are small that stretch i can reach but not hammer on the 17 then pull off. i use my pinky a lot but that hammeron and pull off at 17 with the pinky it impossible. any tips to improve? this is with 24.75 neck with 24 frets
Make it worse. Sit in a classical position with your guitar on your left leg. Pull the neck close to your face and don't play anything that isn't stretching for an entire month.
Many years I've thought there must be a way to build super pentatonic speed this way but never been able to create a satisfying lick. So what can I say, danke danke danke!!! Really great stuff.

You explained and broke down the lick perfectly making it so easy to learn and understand. Thank you very much!

5:01 exercise
7:04 slow
my man talks waaaaay too much, this video could be like 2 min max lol
another thing... those strings are really done, they sound awful Oo
This is awesome. Thanks so much for putting this up! 🤘
Beautiful lick, you can also add the flat 5 blue note here as well as the major 3rd and 6th to give it more flavors.
bro u can barely play
@@averagejoegrows he was just giving out and idea,the internet is so toxic my god
@@averagejoegrows at least his theory is in the right direction
Why not add all the other notes and make it a chromatic scale.... it's PENTAtonic for a reason
@@ackzacklee8027 if you know what i meant and have applied it you'll know you can play. If not you might as well try it or just stick to the box.

Sharing for me is the most important thing in Guitar´s Army around the World, thanks a lot
From Costa Rica... PURA VIDA!!!
Another great lesson. I especially like how you do it slow enough that it's easy to follow along.
Building up strength so that ringfinger and pinky hammer-ons and pull-offs are just as bold and pronounced as any other is key here.
Good info. Scalloped fretboard helps with the pull offs.
I love your tone and delay setting.
This is absolutely THE most helpful exercise with a thorough explanation you can find on YT and that too “Free”. Thank you so much my good man!
thank dude. finaly a well made video and well broken down step by step lesson on a great speed lick. subed. please make more vids on these types of licks. your a great teacher. now I have a lick I will practice for a long time.

Thank you for this fine presentation. Hammer ons and pull offs combined with proper picking. Nice job.
COOL SEQUENCES OF LICKS AND ALSO YOUR TEACHING HOW TO THINK, EXCELLENT LESSON, THANK YOU✊✌

great for Em 12th but not so great for Fm first fret! Unless you're Paul Gilbert or Buckethead.
I would really like your tone, oh and your technique is just WoW!
You can add dissonant blues notes also and if you could put up a diagram that would be helpful
Nice tuttorial very Helpful GodBless you!!!!
Very informative and helpful!!.. good job dude!!.. thanx
Just found this. Very helpful. Thank you!
That is awesome! It's much easier than expected. Thanks

Hey my sea foam green squire sounds killer as well. It's a beast the new one. Cheap To. They really stepped up

Strangely, I've never thought to turn the pentatonic into a three note per string scale. This actually solves a lot of problems. Thanks!
Satriani was doing this for 35 years now, bro lol
Wow
Micah believe yo no know dat
Schon had these, also light years beyond within runs wrapped up, age-14. Riffs wrapped up much prior within age
Wow great teaching ya I can understand it easily and fast hopping for a more videos ...🙏👍❤️❤️🥰
You have to keep doing this cause is great, very helpful.
I'm gonna have to Snort a bunch of super fine Freshly Ground Sumatra Coffee like a 6 " line to get to where your at I think LOL. GREAT LESSON THANKS

Somewhere in that riff should be a double open string crunch between shifts. I clearly do not understand anything you said but the guitar said add a open string crunch please. So I did.
Hi Claus, if you still own this beauty? do you know what the fret make and gauge are, its exactly what I want for my Strat ? many Thanks, George.
Yes I do. I am never getting rid of it. It a Daphne Blue Squier Deluxe with medium jumbo frets. Not stainless steel. And the neck is scalloped in case you didn't notice :)
I'll have to practice my hammer ons and pull offs before I can tackle this . Or maybe try to do this to improve my skills.
Scalloped frets are so beautiful
Great lesson. I'll use this to improve my playing. Thank you.

Love this sound and tone !!!!!!!! What amp-pedals---thanks a million
Youre the man ! Thank you !
I wish there is a video like this but instead of referring to just the fret numbers, but also refer to the note in particular.
thank you for your clear explanations
Parabéns! 👏 😃 Excelente vídeo!
thanks so much, good lesson!
Thank you, I picked up my guitar because this🙏🙏
your videos are great, also I took a squier deluxe in baby blue and scalloped the frets, not sure what I want to add for pick ups, again great playing
I use a Dimarzio chopper in the bridge (Clearest most trebly humbucker) and a Dimarzio Red Velvet in the neck position. Most powerful single coil on the market...
Outstanding lesson.
What an AMAZING video…
Heard a lot of Eric Johnson in that. Badass
Holy shat is he fluid! Fantastic
That's a Kee Marcello lick that can be found in his instructional video
So basically, this is a run based on 2 adjacent pentatonic shapes (the G and the E shapes)
No. Basically, you’ve completely got that wrong.
Kaupovski nah he’s right
@The Taco I suppose you could view it a a G maj pentatonic shape but it sure as shit ain't a G minor pent shape.
Kaupovski yes, g maj and e minor share the same tonic, meaning they have the same F sharp in the scale. They’re relative keys
@@MyBodyWash no shit, Sherlock. Wait… F#? Lolwut?
Thanks man! Made it easy!
Great help me out so much. And may I ask what's the name of the jumbo frets u use cherrs
