Hi Aaron. I received an email with various tabs but not for this lick. Is it still available?
Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge, Aaron. Hello from St. John's Newfoundland Canada!

so awesome to discover you on TH-cam buddy! Thanks to TH-cam recommendation! How have ya been?
Hey there! Been really well. Hope you are as well
Cheers bro good information thanks I am having trouble in this department 😃take care from Ireland 🇮🇪🎸🎸Brian
Thanks for a great lesson! Do you think that could be pulled off with hybrid picking?
This man is incredible.
Thanks so much Todd!!
Very good..realyy reminds me of some Dixie Dregs /Steve Morse style..Thanks for sharing!!!
Unbelievable..Incredible..What model and year Bourgeois? What strings, type and gauge used? What flat pick model/thickness used here?
Clearly mental speed
Hey :) Could you do a video on cool and fast bluegrass rhythm guitar patterns for outsiders who would like to try this genre?
Can I use my thumb pick and do “ flap pick” type of playing
was it the lick at the start?
I love the lick. It sounds like you are starting on the upbeat with the metronome at 160. Am I wrong? Can you explain the function of F natural in the key of G in this context? Thanks again!
So, that lick starts right on the downbeat. I may have been rushing it a bit but the note come in on the downbeat. The F note give this lick a classic bluegrass major/minor blues scale feel which is what we do a lot of in this style. A song may be in G major but a lot of these lead lines contain ideas from major/minor blues scales as well as major scale and mixolydian modes. That’s beyond the scope of this video but I hope I’ve answered your question
So it’s a circular or winding scale with a g run ?
Nice Exercise. With the metronome going, how do i determine how many beets per minute I am playing the lick? Is it one note per click?
Hey thank you! These licks are best played as 16th notes so 4 beats per click
That'll set German fingertips on fire😅And let us always remember Bascom Lamar Lunsford😊
Aaron, Do you do online lessons? I've heard enough of you to realize you are an amazing performer. But sometimes, the most amazing artists and performers are not very good teachers... But in my opinion, I see you as a very good teacher.... I used to take lessons from a Tony McManus, a wonderful performer and teacher, and a master of technique in DADGAD. I consider him a dear friend and mentor, but I had to stop lessons about 6 months ago, for a number of reasons. I came across Tony Rice videos about a few weeks ago, and was HOOKED !! I am wondering if you only do "face to face" lessons, or do you give video lessons? I know they can be challenging due to time zone differences and audio setup issues.... Let me know if possible...
Hey there! Sorry for the delayed response and thanks for the kind words. Feel free to shoot me an email at aaron@aaronjaxon.com and we can go from there
I it and learning, as a rock guitar from the states my band would be throwing things at me. Ha
I can never leafrn these licks although its very similar to my own solos
I hope this works and it not a waste of time Aaron! ;)
Awesome! What picks do you prefer Aaron?
I like the Tortex Flex 1.14 mm picks. You can get em at any music store
@@aaronjaxonguitarthanks so much. !! Your such a great picker and an even better teacher. Thx for all you do !
@@mikereynolds3294 Thanks so much Mike!! I really appreciate you
@aaronjaxonguitar I play the same millimeter but the Ultex, ever try those?
Aaron... This is a BRILLIANT technique for helping people increase up/down picking speed!!! I've been a finger picker for so many years; before that a bass player; before that a guitar "strummer". But one day, I was introduced to Tony Rice. WOW! So I've been trying to add this technique to compliment my finger picking. But I feel like a retarded ostrich, just starting out. So I've been viewing several videos, and tonight I saw yours. But something told me that THIS is a genuinely good technique to work on. Well... I better get started!! God Bless you... Best regards, Dennis
Hey thanks so much Dennis!! Really appreciate the kind words. It just something I use every day that has worked well for me and my students so I hope you get some value out of it. Glad to connect!
On wich count do you start playing this lick?
Right on the downbeat. Beat 1. I may have been rushing it in a few places as I have a tendency to play very “on top of the beat” but all these licks and their variations start right on the down beat
You played it 3 times through in the Breaking Point Tempo section. Is it syncopated? Asking because those three examples weren't very in time if they weren't syncopated (slowed playback down to 50% to be sure). I'm very envious of how cleanly you play, but you mentioned playing it in time and that doesn't appear to be the case at 160. Would love to hear you play it at 130-140.
No it isn’t syncopated. Yes, I got ahead of the metronome at 160 so my timing wasn’t perfect by any means. I’m just trying to show people how I would practice it. Part of that includes recording yourself and listening back to hear where you are slowing down/speeding up. In my case, I just decided to do it with close to 20k views on it 😂😂. Again though, if anything I was getting ahead of the metronome at 160 so I needed to slow down. But overall, I thought it was pretty solid and I’m very self critical so I’ll go with my own judgment on this
what strings are you using?
Elixir nanoweb mediums. I think
I see they're not bronze, thanks
@@aaronjaxonguitar
confused how you are counting. triplets?
16th notes
Hittin’ the exact note not as important as the timing of your “mistake.” Right? Lost in the maze again. Thanx Jax.
so i been pickin near as long as you been breathing, but that don't mean i'm any good. my ? is, if i'm gonna work on a lick for a year or, more to the point, 3K reps, why wouldn't i pick one that actually sounds good?! not to be a dik, but the one u teach here just plays like a chromatic/scale run up to the last meas. which has some, shall we say, 'borrowed' appeal. otherwise, your disciplined approach using metronome is, imo, spot on, well thought out and well explained. just trying to offer some balanced insights from experience cuz that's about all us old-timers got left to offer! i like new-grass less every time i hear it-the sound of showing off. there's a balance; thoughtful, consonant fills versus 'look at what i can do', or playin so fast you can't even hear the BS. music is not a sport, imo. serve the song.
Jealousy is very ugly
@@natoprox4974 so's ur mom, but i did her anyway
You talk a lot, you can really play, but you do talk a lot.
Haha I know! I’m still kinda new to making YT videos so I’m learning as I go
@@aaronjaxonguitaryou talk the perfect amount.
You of course are very accomplished. Could you condense things a bit for next time? It took nearly 2 minutes if marginally relevant introduction before you got to the lick. Talk less, play more, please.
Thank you thank you for showing me you CAN PLAY first before running your mouth for 30 minutes with NO licks!!! lol you are awesome brother!
