Haha! To be fair It's not *too* hard to learn the scales and key. I only ever practice in G major with the 7 modes and then you know the whole neck. Wanna play in A Maj? Move it all up two frets. Wanna play in E minor? It's the same shit as G maj but resolve it to E.
I have been playing for 2 months and I know that. And yes if you can overlay the notes of the chord into the scale then yes noodling is not hard AT ALL. Reading your comment again it is obviously sarcasm lol
Honestly hollow advice. No mention of transcription or aiming for any guide tones. I mean, he plays in "G Major" and then just smashes E pentatonic over it. That's... not the same thing necessarily, that's not knowing G major.
@@pavle988 I'm not a professional player but not at the amateur level as well. I try out different voicings, licks to keep on progressing slowly in guitar and to interprete the neck in different ways. This channel is a great place for people like me. I never said this channel was the only reason. When a guitar player is at a plateau phase he needs a bit of innovation. I find it in this channel.
When playing in scales, you can use relative minor to meander a lick into a realm of the minor key, without changing the tonic. Adds flavour when executed right
yes. buying a looper was the best practice tool ive ever gotten. i made a huge improvement in my timing and my playing overall. also helps to get ideas out and live looping while putting a song together is fun but challenging. i had the one from boss but sold a few things and got the infinity looper and love it.
klubbb 15 don’t worry lmao, I do the literal exact same thing. I’m not exaggerating, like. My blues lick is just running up the blues scale in a specific way and it sounds the same every time.
Which is still music; so my advice would be to try and come to an understanding that it doesn't need to be flashy or virtuosic like TH-cam and the media pulls us into believing sometimes. In my opinion it's always better to play a small pinch of notes that mean something than to bark out licks and phrases that sound cool or impressive. Music isn't about being neither one of those things, and in the guitar world especially, the line between music and 'style' is perhaps sometimes too thin. Learn to play to play and create music, not to tinker. Only our minds remember virtuosity; our HEARTS remember music. Blues is beautiful and worthwhile music to play which I also think in the guitar world can sometime be overlooked because it's viewed as DEFAULT, when it shouldn't be that way. And in many aspects modern guitar playing nowadays has become too nerdy so we forget the honest reason why we should be playing music to begin with. So enjoy playing what you already know and as your ear develops more and more you will begin to hear new ideas naturally. But certainly continue to watch videos that inspire you because that's what it's all about in the end. Keep it up, Jake, and the rest of you all.
I think we all want to be Paul when we grow up....Another amazing video, that guitar sounds superb too; I was very surprised. When I first saw it I wondered what you were using, but the sound that comes out of it ... OYE! Mind you doesn't hurt when the guitar play knows his chops. Can't wait for your new course!
Love these lessons Paul - This is why I subscribe on TH-cam and Patreon. Can you do a series on this type of playing? This is exactly the type of lesson I have been looking for - how to create a groove in a jam situation. For example when my friend will play a bass line,I can "noodle" a pentatonic line - but how do make that interesting, and how do I match that line with a cool chord progression that is not just major and minor chords in the scale. Love your stuff!
I'm trying to do this better myself. But commit to song structures when you jam and you'll end up pulling stuff out of the vast musical knowledge you've built over the years by simply listening. For example: Learn the 12-bar blues. So, play over the same chord 4 times, then the fourth twice, the 1st chord twice again, the 5th once, the fourth once, and the 1st twice with maybe a little 5th sprinkled in before you stop. Practice this progression in every key (start at the difficult ones first, like Gb and then work your way to easier ones like Dmaj or Fmaj). Also, practice it using different BPMs and different subdivisions. So, try it at 50 bpm, 70bpm, 110bpm, etc. And use One and Two and or One two three Two two three Three two three....or One e and ah Two e and ah Three e and ah Four e and ah. That will influence how many notes you play in between each beat and what the groove is like. Doing all these things, you should be really really flexible. That's when you can throw some other other chords in the mix. Maybe throw out a boring one and substitute something you haven't played as much. To play solo notes and not just chords, you'll want to know the notes on the neck. That way you can suggest a chord to the listener without really playing a chord. If you're practicing then a lot should come naturally when you play.
Optional step: noodle or improvise using mostly chords that carry a melody using upper structures. Throw in the occasional solo. Basically play an improvised giant steps with some licks. Add a funky picking pattern for extra interest.
I see your point here. I see your point here and it's well understood. Applying it is a completely different subject! You're an excellent teacher and instructor.
1) Stick to a key 2) Repeat, repeat and repeat 3) Add those bass notes 4) Suggest chord patterns 5) Have the freedom to play'em all over the neck, connect chords with walking bass lines, throw in some chromatics, add a different chord once in a while keeping your groove Thank you Mr. Paul Davis..
I was always jealous of the cool jams I hear on TH-cam, breaking my head over it, I thought I didnt have enough talent, now I know how they do it, this video was pure gold. Heel erg bedankt Paul.
This man is incredible. Today I played some 3 hours, came on the Tube the check a video recipe, bumped on this video, played another hour. Now gonna order some pizza I guess, but thanks a lot for the inspiration, seeing you playing so heartfully is a thing of beauty!
Yesterday I picked up a used Rivolta at Guitar Center for $899. I'd never heard of them until I saw mine on their website. After watching a few reviews I rushed down there for it. I am absolutely blown away by this guitar. The pickups are superb and it has that luxury feel to it when it's in your hands. On top of that, it's completely stunning to look at. I got the Adriatic Blue one.
However amazing your playing and knowledge is, what I appreciate evenmore is that you leave in the imperfections in your improvisations, instead of doing it 5 times to get an absolutely "perfect" take. Shows integrity and also helps us "noobs" not try to achieve some impossible standard of perfection.
My biggest tip to anyone who just wants to jam and don't know all the technical things he was speaking about. Whole steps and half steps are you friend. Mixing whole steps and half steps together will always make you sound good.
To go from Tip 4th to Tip 5th, it will take a good year of playing knowledge, style and practices. And only than the refinement comes. Another great video. Showing all the parameters very diligently...
Tip number 6. This one makes all the difference to me. Use a backing track! I feel bored many times and my solos sound dull and boring, but when I put a backing track everything changes. My motivation, the passion I put into the solo, It's a game-changer to me. Thanks Paul for the high-quality content, as always.
Sometimes I watch your videos just because I love to hear you talking. Also another great lesson aiming exactly at what such hobbyists like myself are truly striving to learn. Thanks for all your work laying it out for us newbies!
Me: Playing guitar for 45 years Me: Knowing that learning and practicing never ends and there will always be better ones, but dont care and still having fun and if one complains, he or she first should do better Paul: Thank you for adding something every now and then to my guitar playing! One of the best guitar channels on youtube!
another tip is to play a few notes and to stay on them. Rather than looking at the whole fretboard and thinking "omg where do I begin..? So many notes", it can help to stay in one spot and to come up with 20 different melodies with just a couple of notes. Vary speed, rhythm or the order of notes and you can keep noodling endlessly
Great tip. I do this a lot with my students. Sometimes we just steal a lick by BB King or someone else and then try to come up with as much variations as we can. Great way to get into improvising.
I adore how simple it is. It sounds so clean and neat. Calculated yet it has a bounce. Clearly this man has been practicing. And that’s the key. You grind and hammer away. I think this is the one video that’s set the spark for me to pick up my guitar again with with consistency. It’s been a rough year and that’s why I stopped but that was a mistake. I’ll get off my soap box now. This was wicked good though!
When I am asleep your guitar wakes me up like an alarm and when I am awake your guitar embraces me with the warmth of a soft bed....... Love you teacher 😍
I agree with another commentator here in hoping, every time I watch a new video on your channel, that you will soon be announcing the release date of your new course. If this is the aim, you have succeeded. And, incidentally, I’m sure there is a commercial future for the phrase ‘King of Noodle’. Wonderful stuff, Paul, and as so often, based on empathy with those frustrated by their own playing habits.
I learned the repeating tip from Mr. Tony Iommi. It's a signature thing of him to repeat his licks over and over, and that repetition really contributes to his overall sound - and in the end make them so memorable and instantly recognizable!
Great tips! I was impressed at #1...and more impressed with each tip. I've got a Digitech trio+. You play a chord progression into it's looper, and it figures out bass and drums in a style/genre that you pick. A great quote - to get motivated is: You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to become great.
Now, this is a lesson, which indeed gave me some appetite and challenged my humble skills as a blues player - caught in the riffs of common blues schemes. Great funky way to practice and move forward. Thanks a lot sharing your skills with us - now 3 generations subscribed
Time Stamps Tip 1. Stick To A Key - 0:52 Tip 2. Repeat, Repeat & Repeat - 1:31 Tip 3. Add Those Bass Notes - 2:45 Tip 4. Suggest A Chord Pattern - 3:40 Tip 5. Have the freedom to play ’em all over the neck. Connect chords with walking bass lines, throw in some chromatics. - 4:39
Great video 👍 always good tips and good humor. Love your videos. Been applying some of these on the music on my channel. Thanks for the great videos. That’s a nice sound you got there by the way.
I think voicing what you play helps, sometimes when I’m noodling I just talk up some fake lyrics and synchronize what I’m singing with what I’m playing, I’ve only been playing about a year and a half but it’s helped me with improvising a lot!
Ultil tip 3 I was like "yeah, I can do that, I just gotta be more focused when doing it" Tip 4 is what I'm trying to improve right now And tip 5 is like WTF I'M SO BAD AT THIS
Tip 6 - Use a ditto looper pedal to lay down a simple bass groove, then add a chord progression, and finish with a smattering of pentatonic scales on top. Repeat as necessary. 👍 By the way, that's a very nice looking and sounding guitar, it has a nice Rickenbacker vibe to it but the P90s make it sound much meatier. I don't know why but orange guitars always make me feel hungry. Also, those Duesenberg Les Trems are a brilliant innovation for anyone that has a tune-o-matic & stoptail bridge setup. The installation is simple and they work brilliantly for anybody wanting a Bigsby on their guitar, and at £50-£60 they don't cost too much, about a third of the price a Bigsby would cost. I have one on my Tokai Les Paul with humbucker sized P90s and it's brilliant, especially when you swap the tune-o-matic bridge for a roller bridge, the tuning stability is pretty good.

You play a chord progression into it's looper, and it figures out bass and drums in a style/genre that you pick. A great quote - to get motivated is: You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to become great.

Now, this is a lesson, which indeed gave me some appetite and challenged my humble skills as a blues player - caught in the riffs of common blues schemes. Great funky way to practice and move forward. Thanks a lot sharing your skills with us - now 3 generations subscribed
Hard to believe that tone doesn’t come from a Fender, what an excellent tone!

Anyone knows? :)
Paul, thanks for another great video. Not only do I appreciate your playing skill I also appreciate your seemingly random humor!
Thank you Paul. I will now become King of Noodle
That rivolta guitar is awesome! And some nice tips Paul ! Love your videos always
Just play Something by the beatles when someone ask you to play ‘Something’
Thanks Paul. I already jammed to your tips and it sounded way better than before.
Great video 👍 always good tips and good humor. Love your videos. Been applying some of these on the music on my channel. Thanks for the great videos. That’s a nice sound you got there by the way.
This is the best feel good channel on TH-cam 🎸😁🔥

Your editing in this one was so nice! You've gotten so much better. Love your videos, they are helping a lot.
my noodling involves playing all the easiest riffs i know, one after another!
dave101t are you me??
I think voicing what you play helps, sometimes when I’m noodling I just talk up some fake lyrics and synchronize what I’m singing with what I’m playing, I’ve only been playing about a year and a half but it’s helped me with improvising a lot!
If i use that chord progression will you sue me?
I know its nice.
You’re such a great teacher! You’re amazing at playing guitar and you really know how to take things slow and break things down for people to see
I don't need to watch this video to know how to play with my noodle
Awesome clip Paul. Great playing....and that guitar sounds amazing.
Would you please do a tutorial on the very last noodle you played?!?! Please!!!
hey here jacob from italy this kind of lessons are very good conitnue in this line!!
thank you man stay safe!
Ultil tip 3 I was like "yeah, I can do that, I just gotta be more focused when doing it"
Tip 4 is what I'm trying to improve right now
And tip 5 is like WTF I'M SO BAD AT THIS
Tip 6 - Use a ditto looper pedal to lay down a simple bass groove, then add a chord progression, and finish with a smattering of pentatonic scales on top. Repeat as necessary. 👍
By the way, that's a very nice looking and sounding guitar, it has a nice Rickenbacker vibe to it but the P90s make it sound much meatier. I don't know why but orange guitars always make me feel hungry.
Also, those Duesenberg Les Trems are a brilliant innovation for anyone that has a tune-o-matic & stoptail bridge setup. The installation is simple and they work brilliantly for anybody wanting a Bigsby on their guitar, and at £50-£60 they don't cost too much, about a third of the price a Bigsby would cost. I have one on my Tokai Les Paul with humbucker sized P90s and it's brilliant, especially when you swap the tune-o-matic bridge for a roller bridge, the tuning stability is pretty good.
Notification squad! 😀
Im gonna be real with you chief, most of that flew way over my head but I’m gonna come back to this later when I know more. Much thanks!
Damn, that one sings!
Dude your freestyling skills are mind-blowing!
