Since adopting a hybrid legato kinda style, my 2 note per string pentatonic approach has had to change quite a bit! I've found this kind of things works well to still fire off pseudo EJ/JoBo kind of lick with minimal right hand effort. It doesn't have the grit and attack, but I think it’s still a cool sound in its own right, and maybe will work for you if (like me) you don't have the right hand control of those goats! Let me know if you have any questions or ideas for future videos, thanks for watching!
Man, that tone is killer, dude. Gives me strong Herring vibes, which are the best vibes.
Ah cheers! Dumble in the fractal, can’t really go rong! Hope you’re well dude 🍻
5:10 says he can't play that way, then totally picks it like a boss!!
😂 fluke! But in honesty ej still probably picks a lot more and pulls off a lot less than I am doing even there. I really can’t control it properly I swear 🤣 thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Fantastic. I can't understand how this channel isn't bigger.
Thanks! Here’s hoping I post more and maybe then it will be bigger! Appreciate you watching 🙏🏻☺️🎸🐝
Actually, if you look at the views, this channel is quite good. Subs are not that important anymore, views are! Excellent Video!
I am like a hundred years old... I remember the 1st time I listened to EJ, I absolutely loved the sound and phrasing... but, 2 notes per string picking on pentatonics? nope. not for me. So I've been avoiding it for a millennia... (I laugh when I hear people say "you probably started with the pentatonics" - eh no! lol) I think this will definitely help me out! hahaha Thank you dear Sir!
You’re most welcome, hopefully it’s helpful ☺️
You're bit like a hundred years old, but you are like a Tit
I been playing guitar 35 years and can shred pretty damn fast, but the 2 note per string stuff is really hard for me also. I can play yngwie much easier than EJ or iron maiden solos for sure !
Brilliant lesson. Thank you for sharing this.
You're welcome, thank you for watching :)
Between this and the latest Cordy video, I have a lot to practice tonight. Thanks, Mr. Beebs!
Hah! Nice, burn that midnight practice oil 🎸🐝🙏🏻 thanks for watching much appreciated
David this was an absolutely spectacular lesson. The notes, the fingering, and especially the timing. So comprehensive. Many thanks.
You're welcome, thanks watching and the kind words, glad you found it useful :)
I haven’t been this excited to go home and practice something in a long time. This is so slick and smooth. I remember watching those G3 videos too!!!!
Thanks! Have fun with it! 😀🙏🏻🎸
Awesome, this is really good!
Thanks a lot! :)
Great video - thank you! You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber 🙂👍🏻🎸
Ah thank you kindly! 😄🙏🏻
First time viewer. I really like how you take the time to explain what your thinking. Sounds great. Subbed. Thanx for posting 💯
Thank you kindly! 🙏🏻
Awesome David! Sounds amazing, Eric's playing opened up so much for so many ❤🎶
thank you jimmy, I know you can do this kind of thing properly, so appreciated!
@DavidBeebee you're too kind man! You're a legend 🎶
Not using my pinky enough has been holding me back for years. This video is insanely helpful-thanks for doing it! Very well done video overall.
Glad it was helpful! thanks for watching :)
Really good my friend these picks pentatonics are súper helpfull.❤
Glad you’re finding it useful, thanks for watching 👍🏻

Aww too kind sir! Glad you enjoy the vid. Will pop one over on IG 👍🏻
Just found your channel. Awesome lesson man !! Thx
Welcome! Thanks for the kind words dude.
Dude this is something I've been working on (my right hand is better than ever and it's still garbage) and I just want to say thanks! This really put my jumbled thoughts into a cohesive lesson! Subbed
You're most welcome, glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial!
Glad you think so! Thanks 🐝
Great lesson David 👍🙏
Thanks James, glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻👍🏻
Absolutely beautiful playing, and a great lesson to boot. Interesting approach, and the combination of pick/pull/pluck maybe has a little more interest too. Cool cool! 😎😎
Thank you kindly! Glad you found it interesting :)
Excellent video. Also, the Fretboard course with Tom is awesome!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed, oh and the UFVC, much appreciated!
Excellent explainer! What an asset to YT!
Glad you liked it, thanks for the kind words! 🙏🏻
Amazing video. Subscribed.
Luv and Peace.
thank you kindly!
Brilliant playing and teaching! Thank you! Oh, and what a guitar!
Thank you kindly, glad you enjoyed it. Yea the guitar is fantastic! 👍🏻
@@DavidBeebee Excited to start my daily studies of this today! May I ask what kind of amp and effects you are playing the Suhr through?
Have fun! btw this guitar is not a suhr, I do have a couple of suhr's but this is my main Fibenare Roadmaster FBBC Custom :)
Subscribed. You're the realest.
Thank you kindly!
That was one TASTY intro !
Thanks, glad you like the intro playing 🙏🏻🐝
Gotta be honest, I liked the tone better when you did the economy picking example at 5:10. But I get it, hybrid picking is very convenient and reliable.
that's fair I kinda agree, like I say in the video, it's missing the grit and attack, but I dothink there's enough else interesting going on to make it it's own thing. Thanks for watching :)
Greats tips, I always just straight pick but I think Ive hit a mechanical ceiling, will try this out! Subbed
Thank you! Enjoy :)
Awesome! Thanks for sharing! What I've noticed for me personally is that the "Cracking The Code" way of doing EJ Fives is tricky for me, because it helped me understand that I'd subconsciously developed a tendency over the years to slant my pick upward (two-way primary upward)...which of course doesn't work for the Yngwie/EJ stuff, but trying to force myself to use DWPS/USX has been really awkward. I knew there was an alternate way to do it but hadn't invested the time to figure it out yet, so thank you for this!
Thanks glad you enjoyed the video.
I did watch the cracking the code stuff yeaaarss ago, but never did sink in and I was already far down the legato rabbit hole that it probably wasn’t worth mentioning spending a whole bunch of time with.
I guess the thing to bare in mind is that this is only an approximation, obviously it’s a smoother, less fiery punchy sound than either EJ or JB, but yea thought I’d share for those in a similar position or wanted to try!
Thanks for watching :)
Thanks David:)
you're most welcome, enjoy!
Hello David, thanks for this lesson! Seems like an challenge, but that's why I'll give it a try :)
Good stuff get stuck in :)
Great lesson 🤟🤠🤟
Cheers. Glad you liked it!
@@DavidBeebee The triplet breakdown finally made it make sense to me. For anyone having trouble, watch it at 0.75x speed and it will click
WOW Beautiful and seamless playing in the intro!!! Incredible talent!! What a groove!! Thank you so much for such a clear and well articulated explanation of this particular exercise! And specifically the timing aspect of where the notes land... I've had the right hand picking of this 5 note pattern using economy for many years now but (and this is rather embarrassing because it shows terrible maths on my part) I've never REALLY understood how this pattern of 5's actually fell within the beat to sound authentically EJ... watched many videos, but this is by FAR the best and most clear explanation of that mysterious and crucial facet to the exercise... you are a freakin legend for laying it out so clearly man :) Dont know how you count it at the same time as playing it,, proper rubbing your tummy and patting your head at the same time kinda thing :D
Thanks for the kind words, glad you found the vid helpful! Just to be clear I'm not sure if EJ is counting or feeling it like I am here, sometimes I think the EJ/JB cascading thing is a bit blurry and textural rather than rhythmically specific, but this is just my approach and I think it's a good way to work on odd groupings and subdivisions. Indeed, it's a bit of a rub and pat trick to unravel! Happy practicing!
@@DavidBeebee No man thank YOU a million for doing the hard work here for less intuitive people like me! It was exceptionally helpful as a break down..I hear what you say, and I think you're absolutely correct that the EJ/JB approach is often 'textural' and not necessarily 'rhythmically specific' (great descriptors by the way) without deviation,, BUT the results you got by explaining the triplet feel and where each subsequent accent note lies - even just noting that it starts on the 'and' - really gets to the heart of this mysterious 5's pattern that has baffled me for many years, and I could hear within the first few iterations that you had truly unlocked a vitally important component of it that I just haven't been able to do over the years... It's one thing to be able to play this pattern cleanly and with its nuanced accents in the right places (and you do play it smokingly clean) but its quite another to be able to understand and articulate just what the hell is going on in it to be able to do that!! Heard a number of players play it well, but so few get into the actual 'time analysis'- that made your lesson exceptional in that regard... You're a fantastic player and this explanation was next level man. Sorry for the essay length comment, just wanted to express the deserved appreciation for this wisdom :) Gratefully and humbly subbed. Fantastic tasty licks besides the 5's pattern too... Cheers bro!!!
No apologies needed for the length of the comment, enjoy reading feedback. I'm really glad the video was helpful for you! Cheers 🐝🎸
Nice solo !
Thank you kindly! 🎸🙏🏻
Fantastic tone, I remember Shawn Lane having a similar approach when playing penta scales
Cheers, oh thats interesting I don't know tons about SL to be honest, any idea where you've seen/heard this. Would be interested to check out.
@@DavidBeebee please have a look in his REH videos, I think in "power solos" he does a similar 5 notes grouping👍ruclips.net/video/K2QIxv5UhII/видео.htmlsi=VbNlDyQr-ixMdPTO
thanks for the link, will do!
@@DavidBeebee I think it is even the first lesson of the video😅
I love that violin like sound you have.
Cheers! It's a variant on my main dumble preset on the FM3. Usually. I run it much cleaner and with less low end for my kinda sound, but obviously was going after a bit more of an EJ vibe here :) Thanks again. 🐝
@@DavidBeebee Right. I can't wait to start practicing this!
Neck pickup and roll back the tone all the way
I am really skeptical of anything on RUclips that's "do this one thing to unlock..." As I've been clickbaited before. But damn that addition of the hybrid picked note just flows.
Glad you gave it a chance and weren't disappointed, thanks for watching! You username is excellent btw!
@@DavidBeebee
It wasn't the picking that I originally watched the video for. I can play it fast enough picked. But it always sounds off and the reason is because I don't count it right. That's gonna take me a while longer until it's second nature. Thanks for the help.
You’ve earned a new subscriber. Only took me about 30 seconds to realize your channel’s definitely for me. Your playing is awesome and so is your tone. What setup are you using?
Ah thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed. I'm playing my Fibenare Signature Roadmaster Classic through a Fractal FM3 with a juiced up dumble ods kinda preset. Cheers
@@DavidBeebee thank you so much for the reply! God bless!
Fantastic work. You should really start your own course site.
Thank you kindly. I do have two courses on my website, an App and accompanying fretboard visualisation course, all linked in the description if you fancy checking out. Thanks again for watching 🙏🏻☺️🎸🐝
I'd settle for your "Poor picking" any day David :-) Nice lesson thanks
hah, thanks dude! great username btw lol
New sub🎸👍
Thank you kindly! 🙏🏻🎸🐝
I was trying to do this with alternate picking as I can't do hybrid picking. Hard to get the speed though.
Alt picking is probably closer to how EJ and co do it anyways. I just really can't do that!
Glad im not only one. See do many plays with their little finger curled away doing nothing or sometimes anchored on the guitar body. Whatever works i guess but I find that so weird. Always used the little finger.
I'm definitely a big proponent of pinky usage!
How do you count the 16th note triplets? I know counting 8ths , it’d simply be 1 and 2 and etc.. and 16th notes would be 1e&a 2e&a 3e&a 4e&a but how do you count those 16th note triplets? Thanks for any info you can share on that question
Hah great question! By the time get beyond 16th notes, I take to making staccato kinda noises like dek-eh-deh-dek-eh-deh or did-ul-ee-did-ul-ee sounds, then locking into that. These work at higher speed, but It is kind of hard to teach this, I've tried "1 trip let + trip let, 2 trip let + trip let" etc but I don't find it quite sounds or feels right. Often resort back to my desk-eh-deh's. Re-readind this comment makes me sound insane lol
Hi from Alabama -US. Question, when I try this lick my ring finger frets flats my E and D string. I'm almost "baring" those two strings...how important is it to isolate each string? Will it slow me down??
BTW first YT lesson that taught me something that clicked and started working right away! I'm not near as fast as you but I understand the idea. Keep up the great content!
Hey Brad, thanks glad it was useful! Everyone's physiology and technical experience is going to be slightly different, but. generally speaking I have found isolating and having individual control of the fingers helps with clarity and speed in the long run. Thanks again for watching!
Got it. Thanks again for useful tips on practice!
What do British have in the water or the air? Man so many great players over there
😂 whisky, although I'm sure that holds my playing back! thanks for watching :)
How do you play two guitars at the same time? That is amazing.
Recent success with my human cloning experiment
What guitar model u use here...
This is my custom Fibenare Roadmaster FBBC Beebee model.
It's more difficult diatonic 2 notes for string.

@@DavidBeebee thanks amazing ....💯
Amazing player and Guitar 🎸 tutor
We dont wanna hybrid pick tho, eric didnt
David , , this needs to be put in tablature the solo at the end especially needs to be put in tab , …..for a one time fee of $30 Dalars On a dvd !
Thanks for the kind words! I'm not sure I have the time to transcribe it, but yea I'll put it on the to do list!
@@DavidBeebee ok 👍🏻 sounds good ! I think there are people out there who will transcribe it for you . But not shure about the cost , thanks for your consideration, it’s an awsome lesson , would love to see it in tab , in a full solo format ! You’re a great guitar player!
Easily the most irritating pentatonic sequence to hear.
Makes Eric Johnson and Joe Bonamassa unbearable for me.
Hybrid, not legit
Yep, I say that myself in the opening, I can't do the alternate picking thing, so this is an alternative technique for a similar albeit not legit, result.
@@DavidBeebee response legit
Why? Why post another video about Eric Johnson’s style? There are hundreds of them… Please, please do something original… That will get you clicks and likes and the attention you deserve.
Why? Why post negative comments on people's RUclips videos? There are hundreds of them...Please, please do something original... That will get you women and likes and the attention you deserve.
