Yes, this is great. So many new ideas, and a reminder to keep practicing to get to playing cleanly, something I didn't do when I started playing the guitar.
For many years I was trying to find a teacher who could simply teach me these type of licks. No theory no nothing. No one did, like it was their magical soup or something. I watched and listened to many advanced players playing these stuff and i was jealous and pissed off 'cause i could not figure them out (not very talented of course). I found this video last week. I am at the "standard legato" trying to play it without thinking it before i move on. I'm doing good and i also feel like i can make it as an (amateur/hobbist) guitarist! I have a new personal musical purpose once again! Thank you so so much Cameron!
I personally think, anyone who is trying to get super fast at shredding 3 notes per string should spend plenty of time on pentatonic sequences. Once you get good at 2 notes per string, you tend to take off like a jet when you go back to 3 notes per string. Helped me a lot! 👍🏻
I agree, I started with the pentatonics then moved into diatonic scales. I think the real trick to expand, though boring, is mastering "one string" scales on all strings (in different modes etc)
Young man, you are perhaps the best guitar teacher on RUclips, your way of describing your licks and your presentation, along with your ridiculous skills is nothing short of amazing. As an old (crappy) guitar player, I appreciate this and wish I had your instructions when I was much younger. Kudos to you.
WOW, you are a great teacher and highly skilled guitarist/musician. Thank for sharing. I have been playing guitar for 40 years, and my picking technique is already improving because of you. Thanks
Here again Cameron shows everyone what a real workingman's pentatonic lesson is all about. Homie shreds like the world depended upon it. The best part of his lesson is that his breakdown speed jumps are just enough where if you can do the slow version, than the middle and fast ones start to take shape. Thanks again my brother ! ! your tearin' it up ! ! !
Great lesson. Intervallic sequences like this are the best way to practice any scale. And as you demonstrate, most "licks" in Rock are about 90% scale sequences.
First concert I went to was Pink Floyd. They played in a pub, helped them carrying their gear in. Their sound was better than the bombastic stuff they did later.
All those pentatonic fores that you just play on the guitar are great, that with such a style of decomposing pentatonic, major scales we can perfect each of our styles of playing the guitar🎸👍:All your advice is great. You play that guitar phenomenally.. The tone is spot on, and every tone and final vibration and tone🎵 twist makes you sound great no matter what you play.
Really good advice and an easy to follow lesson my British 🇬🇧 friend!!! Seriously, I really like the way that you talk "too" your viewers instead of talking "at" them, like if you were talking down to them. You have everything that a beginner can use but also a few things to teach old dogs new tricks! Very nice job mate! 🇺🇸 God bless and take care...
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love to watch you play, I could watch and listen to you all day. Absolutely fascinating the way you explain the techniques of guitar , even an eejit like myself can understand what you're saying ! It would be nice if I could play those licks but somehow it's enough to just watch you and feel enthused and optimistic enough to 'have - a - go'. You're a diamond geezer, thank you young man. 😃🎸🤗❤️🇬🇧✌️🖖👋
@@mikerockshard8282 Thanks, I try...although by your very logic, if YOU are seeing me everywhere, then you must also be "everywhere." Suffice to say, we should both likely spend more time practicing than being on YTbe! Cheers!🤟
Interesting things for practicing your fingers, and when you play, you can add all the useful things, whether we play metal / rock / blues / jazz. Every advice that Cameroon shows us is more than useful.Every tone he plays on the guitar🎸 sounds great👍👍👍👍
This is just what I am looking for to improve my licks that recently getting stuck and boring. I have to watch this over and over with my guitar and immitate the play. The notes are very simple but the spacing and the way they are played that make the whole difference. Thank you very much Cameron. Cheers from Indonesia.
I’ve been feeling really stuck with my playing lately, but this video was eye opening to some different ways I can spice up some of my pentatonic runs. I appreciate it bro
Pretty good idea for a channel. We’re all trying to cut to the chase in this day and age of “The University of RUclips” self-taught sloppy shredder. Who wouldn’t want to learn great sounding licks? And in the pentatonic scales that we’ve all but used up? Thank you for helping us in our journey. A thumbs up and new subscriber, well earned sir! 🎉
I’ll tell you what I find absolutely brilliant and that is that a young guy and other young guys like you all rate the 80s and early 90s guitar music . You mentioned poundcake lick and sweet child mine lick . That was when you must have been in nappies lol but incredible you are keeping it alive .I’m 50 and in those years I was a teen and I sat in the bedroom playing licks to all that stuff and all these decades latter in still rockin . I will be playing this to my grand children in my 80s and and I’ll crank the volume all the way to 10 !
I’m thirteen and have Just been playing guitar for 2 years and this Video really helped me cause I already know the pentatonic scale and this Will help me improve my soloing
I've been searching for a player like you to leech ideas off of for a long time!!! This is amazing content, delivered really well. The 5's + training economy picking!! YES!!
Lets face it, I'm not that creative on the guitar yet. My skills hold me back. This video is like a light shining down from the heavens paving the way to shredness! 🤘😎💪💥💥💥
I keep coming back to this video, you absolutely got me off of my plateau and I'm increasing in speed every day! Most underrated guitar tutorial online imo
I love all of these licks. These have helped me improve on my soloing. All of them sound amazing. If I absolutely had to pick a favorite it would be that “Fake Steve Vai lick” that sounds so cool! But all of them were awesome. Thank you Cameron for the wonderful lesson and inspiration!
Man Cameron. Thanks for all these great ideas! Other people take loads of money for showing you these ideas once in lessons and they cant even explain them as well as you do. You really enrich the guitar community! And you sparked my love for charvel guitars. I have three of them by now and I love them all! 😂
I wish they made that guitar with a floating trem or even a Floyd! It looks so 80s and I feel like having the choice of having a trem like that would be so cool. Killer playing as always Cameron!! 🤘🏻
It's kind of discontinued now but they have a fusion model with this purple sparkle (floating trem). I think it still exists but without the painted headstock
Thank you for sharing these awesome licks. So much to unpack but this has been added to my favorites and I just subscribed. You sir, are killer guitar player.
Ah yea !! That’s what I’m talking about an the Vivian Cambell riff was perfect! Oh & I just subscribed keep those kind of licks coming please please please 👍🏾🎸
Great teacher! Nice and slow as well as lifting fingers high as you play so we can see what string your actually touching. To many teachers just can’t slow down and also just want to show how good they are and that doesn’t help when teaching
Thats what makes you a good guitar player! to have creativity and to find patterns on basic licks and experimenting in general with licks chords etc...,that can create your own playing style and make you to sound like you and not like someone else!
Hey Cameron, I've seen this video for like 200 times. It helped me a lot!! But one thing i would like to answer. ¿How do you get that guitar tone? It would be great if you make a video explaining how to get that awesome sound mate. Thanks a lot for your videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2s,, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, great player licks, variations, slight alterations, ideas for extending,..., excellent execution. Great video!
thank you

I taught myself without theory, knew some strings, sequences & frets sound cool together & then enjoyed jamming.

@@jpow2229hmmm so 1 string licks
As an 113 yo and 322 years playing... Who is new to pentatonics... Very good lesson!!
For visual learners these lessons are perfect. No wasted time over explaining.
AWESOME VID - fun for me to watch , hard to play at 68, but inspiring me to never stop after 55 plus years.
When do you believe that your playing started to decline due to your age
Like how old were you when you first noticed a decline
Chill mate. John McLaughlin still shred at 80.
This is no valid excuse brother

Dude! Because of you I'm finding motivation to go beyond what I'm used to practicing, Thanks Cameron!
Yes, me too
Nice mention of Vivian Campbell 👍
Yep, that lick also pops up in Lay It Down by Ratt. Demartini used it alot.
How fast! How accurate! How informative! How encouraging! Thanks man 🤘🏻🔥

Bro, you've become my fave tutor on you tube.
Great teaching technique and enjoyable awesome licks to learn.

Probably the most effective lesson video I’ve ever seen
I use the smaller Green precision pick. Great picks.
Man i been looking this kind of video for so long. Excellent playing, examples and content. Thanks a lot
That sparkle purple looks just awesome. 😊
Superb lesson Cam. Very useful. Thanks.
Great tutorial and playing
Awesome! Thanks you. My memory sucks I'll have to pick a few favorites until I get those down and revisit later.
Bro, i love this! I have been experimenting with switching up the good old pentatonic myself so this video is just perfect. Killer licks!
Usefull for newbie, I love these technices but they do them so fast, I can't learn. Thanks alot ❤❤❤
You've got the best licks man! I learn and retain so much of what you show. Thanks a ton for putting these things out. 🙂👍
Man Cameron. Thanks for all these great ideas! Other people take loads of money for showing you these ideas once in lessons and they cant even explain them as well as you do.

@@johannesgustavsson8348 thanks for letting me know. I’ll give it a look
I'm really liking the Tusq picks, too.
Great lesson. This is a great way to get new pentatonic moves. These are bad ass licks that you if rip through with some speed you sound awesome
I'm inspired. Working on these asap. Thanks!
Cameron thanks for this, from a bass player trying to learn guitar jammin. You break it down so well 🤘🏼
What a great video. I’ll try this later today. Thanks. ✌️
That was awesome! Best 17 minutes ever!
Another practical and very useful lesson. Very valuable to a chump like myself.
Thank you for these flashy licks, Cameron. This is awesom!
He is a good teacher...no doubt!
I have learn a lot from you brother... Loads of love from India
Great licks! These are always handy to use when improvising.
best pentatonic lesson EVER! \o/
Very cool! Thank you for teaching this. Much needed to get out of the pentatonic rut. I will be practicing these.
Awesome way of teaching pentatonic
Awesome video man! Thanks for making all of us better players.
I'm new to your channel. Excellent video. Love the way you explain it and the sense of humour. Keep it up. Cheers from Ireland!
Nice lesson I dig it thanks Cameron
Looked for something to practice, found something to practice. 10/10 would come again.
Thanks for practicality side to play licks… actually appreciate your hard work into preparing these videos for us
Thank you for sharing these awesome licks. So much to unpack but this has been added to my favorites and I just subscribed. You sir, are killer guitar player.
So cool. Best example my NOOB self has seen yet. Great Vid!
Such a great collection of licks/ideas, salute!
man you are an insane player. I so enjoyed this. bro. inspired now
Ah yea !! That’s what I’m talking about an the Vivian Cambell riff was perfect! Oh & I just subscribed keep those kind of licks coming please please please 👍🏾🎸
Cool stuff! Recently been revisiting the pentatonic and playing with grace notes from the modes .
That guitar is gorgeous. Nice lesson.
Great teacher! Nice and slow as well as lifting fingers high as you play so we can see what string your actually touching. To many teachers just can’t slow down and also just want to show how good they are and that doesn’t help when teaching
Great lesson! Thank you. And what a beautiful guitar tone!!
your quality becomes better every video, nice work
Damn! I love these instructional videos from cam the man.. Thanks for sharing
Awesome video, Cameron. Thanks!

Whats up brother. Great video. Harley stock. Live the pink gold. Thanks
so glad i've found your channel. thx for sharing

I bought a HB tele. It's also beautiful. Took some adjusting though.
Just the video y need. Thanks bro to share your knowledge.
Sweet licks Cam! Gonna get to work on these exercises!
Good young man great guitar breakdown and playing.
I love the guitar. I would've got that one if it was listed when I got mine. I chose that color but not sparkle. Nice ideas to upgrade playing
@Cameron_Cooper 👉telegram me pissoff scamer
Lovin' that guitar! Gorgeous 😍
That guitar in silver sparkle would be awesome! 👍
It exists
great vid..much appreciate making us all better.
You're amazing! I'll do this immediatly
Awesome video!
This is what I've been looking for, all I need is a metronome and practice!
great video !!! Cameron have you a video like this with A Minor ... just to understand another differents licks; you're great !!
Thank you! Since the licks are pentatonic, all you have to do is move it to the key of A minor and you're good to go
Hey Cameron, I've seen this video for like 200 times. It helped me a lot!! But one thing i would like to answer. ¿How do you get that guitar tone? It would be great if you make a video explaining how to get that awesome sound mate.

I used a Yamaha THR30II for this video but I use a Blackstar AMPED 3 now
