Check out drhotlicks finger excersise guaranteed to improve speed & accuracy. IT WORKS if you stick with it.
nice jam
shouldnt that scale be called a half step whole step scale?,,,not a right dimminsihed….
While going through some scales, I noticed that my ring finger raises 4 whole cm from the neck of the guitar if it is coming after my index, if it’s after my middle it’s 4.5cm, is this a problem?
I AGREE he should resolve on B
yeah man Scot Henderson plays this with the “steel drum” setting on his synth axe…wow dude, lame to compare and place this guy down, its a lesson not a gig. i know this scale cold for a while now but have had distress with practical application. his less than super musical but logical approach i found helpful.
I know what he’s doing, but I can’t help but cringe when he doesn’t resolve the scale on beat one of G. He should hit the B right when G starts but several times he doesn’t do it. He just goes through the whole scale without thinking of when to end it, making it sound dumb.
Chinese Gibson
Thanks billy,
awesome playing dude.
The audio quality makes your guitar sound like it has distortion.
lmao your useless
Excellent lesson for players getting started with diminished.
wonderful lesson! thx.
Seriously dude, go watch a Scott Henderson video if you despised this so much, and let others get something from it.
That is like bottom level application of diminished scales over chords. Nothing creative at all about that! Teaching people people how to run scales ascending is an EXERCISE, not a line! Scott Henderson uses that scale and makes LINES out it..thru this whole example you never changed the note sequence, rhythm or placement!
Teach people how to fish, instead of giving them a cookie. Then they can go feed themselves!
what gibson is this?
at 0:48 for a second i thought he had a really small guitar, lol
wow… he’s not reading off of cue cards at all!
but seriously, this a helpful video. i’ve been looking for something to spice up my lead playing and this might be it.
useful!!!
…he tells it so extremly natural.
sorry I’m new at this, Can you please tell me as to equalize the guitar pedal and use it?. THANKS
Yea def. a excellent and simple video! Fantastic job teaching the basic diminished scale in a blues!
lol he looks and sounds like hes reading off a news scroller
kind of dull but useful non the less
