good grief brother.. you are unlocking the mystery here for sure. - you have no idea how many years of playing (stuck on rhythm) I have been and now for the first time, am beginning to understand just how these scales & riffs blend together. Thank You so much
Here's a point of interest...I can improvise using various licks I've learned or made up and don't know the names of any of those scales. But can still improvise...it's all in hearing how the melody sounds.
That's great that you're able to do that using your ear. The scales will come in handy when you try to shift the same licks you already know to songs in different keys. Then, you start connecting the licks in your "bag of licks" to an actual scale position. When you change keys, you'll know exactly where to play that same lick without any hesitation. Great skill for improvising over any song.
JoJo Mama I've got plenty of lessons over at countryguitaronline.com teaching bluegrass licks for the more advanced players that're already familiar with the scales used to create country/bluegrass licks. Hope to see you over there. - Devin
I have one of these D-15s and it is a superb guitar for very little money . The braces aren't scalloped on the D-15 which gives the notes a lovely thick rounded quality . A great bluegrass instrument
Try typing the Lesson ID “A0070” in the search bar at Country Guitar Online. That should get you there. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks! - Devin
Elixir Nanoweb phosphor bronze mediums. I've tried several brands and these are the best I've found so far. Highly recommend them. A little pricy but they last longer with the light string coating
+Oland Andig it really depends on how often you play...I usually play on one set of these strings for about three months. The good thing about the coating is that they don't rust as quickly and they're really easy on your fingers

Devin Shawn wow,Devin,thanks for the reply!
Guitar tone is beautiful. Really helpful video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
D15M? Nice change up from spruce tops
I have one of these D-15s and it is a superb guitar for very little money . The braces aren't scalloped on the D-15 which gives the notes a lovely thick rounded quality . A great bluegrass instrument
It took me way too long to figure out that position didn’t mean fret # but lowest note in the scale.
I'm a paid sub and can't find this on your website. Disappointing.

What are the strings you're using?
Elixir Nanoweb phosphor bronze mediums. I've tried several brands and these are the best I've found so far. Highly recommend them. A little pricy but they last longer with the light string coating
Thank you! Great video by the way. I like your style.
+Oland Andig thanks!
I forgot to ask. How long does it last? Thanks!
+Oland Andig it really depends on how often you play...I usually play on one set of these strings for about three months. The good thing about the coating is that they don't rust as quickly and they're really easy on your fingers
