Darrell, Can't thank you enough for these informative videos. It has changed my whole aspect of playing and I am improving daily. It has opened up a whole new level of creativity. Awesome stuff!!
One of my fav vids. I've always been so shy in regards to scales and licks and now I feel much more confident and actually I enjoy my playing big time. Thanks Darrell.
Darrell, thank you! ...this is BY FAR one of the easiest and most well demonstrated and generally easy lessons for my skill range I've come across in the channel. This explains SO MUCH!
I thought I'd throw this out there to RUclips noobs, if you click the settings button on the bottom right of the screen, you can change the playback speed. It really helps to slow this stuff down when we're trying to figure out how to play some of these things. I didn't know this for the longest time.
Bro I knew about this and been using RUclips since early 2000s....never thought about that, geez you could have saved me so much trouble....thx maybe I'll keep it in mind now lmao
This is by far my favorite Music/Guitar Channel. Every time I watch it, it makes me want to learn more and more on my guitar. Darrel is the kind of instructor you would want as a student, young or old.
Been playing for a very long time and this video is a prime example of why I could never give lessons. Your explanations and level of patience is to be admired. Great vid.
Man Darrell -- you're a great teacher! I like the way you walk through it slowly, then a bit faster, but then in a mix too so you can hear what it REALLY sounds like! Your tabs are also easy to read. Thank you!
thank you darrell! this really helped me, ive been playing guitar for two years self taught and i’ve never knew any scales or keys, but they were easy to learn once you showed them, i took my about 2 or 3 tries to get it right and i’ve been trying to improve on my soloing so thank you once again !
This is awesome! There are a million videos on playing specific solos and scales, but very few like this that show you what to do with the scales and how to start developing your own improvisations and solos. Next I think I'd like to see how to take these out of "the box" an start working horizontally across the neck. Thank you for this instruction.
Love this! This is EXACTLY what I wanted to learn! I heard guys in guitar shops trying out guitars and I thought "wow I want to do this!" Thanks for this video!
Super useful vid, Darrell. One thing you do in this lick video that others on YT don't do often is to play the lick in context. That's super important for beginning lead players like me trying to figure out how to put licks together. My favorite lick here was one you didn't actually tab out, starting at 2:24 -- I used the 1/2 speed setting to slow it down & figure it out. That lick was not only a great lick on it's own, but one that showed a nice way to link positions 1 & 2 of the minor pentatonic scale. I'd love to see more examples from you on linking positions like that!
wish you wrote it down for others so we dont have to do the same :P lick sure is nice. I have trouble with 2nd lick coz it plays 7th fret on 2 strings right after each other and im not sure if I bare it or swap quickly fingers. but im beginner so I just need to figure it out
10 out of 10 sir ! Great content and excellent teaching. Its so refreshing to see someone break it down simply and take the time to demonstrate at different tempi. Thank you
This actually made me improve in five minutes. I've been hesitant to bending since playing Still Got The Blues, but your tip of listening to the note two frets higher is the only thing that actually helped me, even if I used to take classes. Thank you so much!
You are so good at what You do keep it up. I just enjoy listening I've been playing for over 50 years. You bring up a lot of good points for people who want to play. Thanks, Man!!!!!!!!!!
I have been playing for many years and I find you are a great teacher which is a skill in itself. Excellent. Not too difficult, very well explained and very useful excercises to all.
Thx Darrel, another high quality video. Teaching people to create their own sounds, linking them together is priceless. I "free play 80% of the time, having the background music transforms a guitar player into a musician. 👍
I'm a total beginner, Thank you sooo much for making that lesson very easy to understand! It has helped me achieve so much in my playing and my understanding of the minor pentatonic scale. Amazing ..... Billy,
This is a great video man 👍 as a intermediate guitarist myself (play lead guitar in a punk rock band) this was actually really helpful and can be to many other guitarist out there beginner or veteran 🎶 great job man
I've been wanting to get back into playing for years. Yesterday I was watching a totally unrelated video when Darrell's $100 guitar video popped up. Now I'm inspired to dive back in. I tell friends that I was once a VERY mediocre guitar player, never could bust out a decent lead. Now with your very easy to follow videos Darrell...and lots of practice...I may break out of mediocrity! Thanks so much!
It seems even if I only watch you I improve. I got a lot sorted out in the last few days. Thanks for all that stuff you do. You are an excellent teacher.
Darrell, the greatest! I like your video so much, it's clear and sounds so beautiful and yet easy to follow. You're THE best! Can't thank you enough for a great video!
Awesome mate, your vids are getting better and better. I'm going take as much of this aboard as I can. Love soloing and I'm starting to impress people because of vids like this. Cheers
Even though I already knew most of the techniques, the licks you included them in sound like they'll be a lot of fun to try out. Thanks for the creative boost ^^
This is fantastic! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am a beginner and this will take me to another dimension, specially on open chords and basic rhythmic patterns.
Awesome lesson. Would love to see a follow up with some other rhythms like triplets and triplets mixed with swing eights etc. Awesome ideas in this video. Well done.
I'm a guitarist and teacher as well and my 9yo nephew that lives 800km from me asked me for some good videos for beginners since i cannot teach him myself. There are lot's of YT teachers, but no matter how much they try to share their knowledge it was always something wrong/missing. Now i found this video and it's perfect for him to start with licks and have some fun in the same time. Thank you for this good video :)
Super cool and useful video for someone who has learnt how to go up and down a minor pentatonic scale, and trying to figure out where to go from there. Thanks a lot Darell. I wished I had come across this few years back.
Thank you so much Darrell ! This video was so incredibly helpful...took the sting out of much of what I hear in terms of solos and asking "how do they do that?" You're a wonderful teacher. .Now I have lots to practice ! ☺🙏
Learning pentatonic scale on the fretboard for a while and this fantastic video examples are great to implement the notes of scale to create melodic licks.
Incase you didn't know Darrell, when you chromecast RUclips on TV and pause it the RUclips title in white is at the bottom and wont go away. Could you please have the tab chords on the upper half in the future. Love your channel.
The skipping strings one is the one I like best because it is a challenge for me. Not up to bending yet, but I will take your advice and pause this vid many times as I make progress. Thanks Darrell.
Hi Darrell, I went to your Etsy store but can't find this lesson. Is it under another name? If it's not posted, could you please put it up for sale? I will happily purchase it. You deserve it for all the time and effort you put into this. You are an excellent guitar teacher. I know you earn more with demos but don't ever take your video lessons & tabs down. Thank you! Cheers.
Darrell, love your videos. Definitely the most insightful guitar content on YT. Thanks for making these vids, really inspired me to get the guitar out the closet.
Great stuff for beginning or intermediate guitarists. I was looking for an organized lick lesson with some basic techniques to present to a student and this helped me pick a few to work with. Thanks for sharing!
Darrell,

Um...yeah, Darrell, what he said...
Slow teach sir,
@@DarrellBraunGuitar Hi do you have a new link for the back track?
@@garethferguson7931 pleasee
What I like about your way of teaching is the fact that you first show the lick and then play it “in the mix” ! Great video.
+Sjaak Strik Thanks man!
Totally agree. Makes a huge difference for beginners like me.
It makes the whole difference. One of the best videos ever. Thank you!

I really liked the connecting riffs that you did after the riffs you were teaching! That’s the type of thing I’d like to learn 👍👋

You are a good teacher and I appreciate you taking the time to post these videos
Thanks Corey!
Thank you! Having acquired an electric guitar from a friend, I had no idea where to start. This was just what I needed.
Hey Thanks Darrell. That is one thing about music, there is always something new to learn and/or create.
Thanks for posting. Very helpful. Was nice to hear the riffs along with the mix.
U know the name from the mix/ a good mo
Thanks so much! I came up with some similar licks just by noodling around, but this just validates my progress. i love your videos !
Now I’m sitting over here trying to figure out those little filler riffs you throw in there :P
learn the scales and it'll come naturally
no kidding, me too! thats what i want to know
same here, i like the riff after the blues scale lick demo
Yeah me too! They were the exact thing I’m needing 😔😩
I've been playing every thing back at 50% speed to analyze the riffs between the riffs. HIGHLY recommend!
This is fantastic! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I am a beginner and this will take me to another dimension, specially on open chords and basic rhythmic patterns.
Awesome video, of course it's all the in between licks you play between the lesson lick that has me chomping at the bit!
solid lesson and good teaching style - I will check out more from this fellow
All the ten licks were awesome, thank you bro, I'm lead guitar so this helps me a lot, as always you are great bro \m/
