At last , a clear lesson on the kick off to Dust in a Baggie , thank you for this. Cheers from Mont Tremblant ,Quebec

[@colinpoulton]

Cheers from Nashville, Neil! I’m open for suggestions if you’d like to see something else covered.

Finally a description of this bluegrass scale. I think I understand it better now. Those half steps can be tricky when you are use to playing classic rock all the time.

[@colinpoulton]

Hopefully the association with the blues scale helped it make sense. What I like about adding chromatic notes to the pentatonic scale (or any scale really) is that it displaces the rhythm of your line and you tend to land in a different spot once the lick is done. Fun stuff!

Nice one! Thanks so much for that,

[@colinpoulton]

Cheers Owen!

[@Andre-nx5xl]

this was really well explained :)

[@jswolfe94]

Very good lesson! Wish I understood more of the theory you were talking about, but you still made it helpful even though I do not. I gladly subscribed.

[@colinpoulton]

Thanks for subscribing! Maybe one day I’ll do a video about how I think about theory.

[@jackfeneley9768]

Thanks Colin! Nice and concise lesson really enjoyed it. Just saw Billy Strings here in DC, was amazing!

[@colinpoulton]

Jack thank you! Glad you enjoyed the lesson and super jealous you got to check out Billy! Would love to hear if there’s anything else you’d like to see on this channel.

Love the guitar!!! I have a Takamine too. What model is it?

[@colinpoulton]

Thanks!! I believe it’s the EF341SC. Takamine acoustics are my favorite.

[@nickh2870]

So easy. Thanks.

[@colinpoulton]

No problem nick!

[@sotirzvanidjubre4109]

Which Takamine is that? 👍

[@dansimmons5382]

Thank you for breaking down the scales slowly, it's tough to find a lesson on this that's attainable for my level.

[@colinpoulton]

Cheers Dan, glad it made sense for you!

[@Murzellys]

[@colinpoulton]

Ayyyyy cheers!

[@markcarter6827]

[@colinpoulton]

I’ll take your word for it, I know the name but I’m not super familiar with his material!

[@Steve-mx6lz]

I only understand tab and I couldn’t understand

[@colinpoulton]

I may be able to whip up a tab in the next day or so but in the mean time feel free to just check out sections of it at a time

Good stuff man

[@colinpoulton]

Thanks Josh!

Tip. Camera should be even or above you ...that way your not looking down on audience. Just saying

[@colinpoulton]

Production value on a RUclips video? In this economy? JK thanks for the tip, hope the stuff in it was useful minus the angle!

[@tntkop]

Tip. The words “your” and “you’re” have different meanings. “Your” is a possessive adjective. It is always followed by a noun in a sentence. “You’re” is a contraction of the two words, “you” and “are”. Learn the proper use of each, that way “you’re” (you are) not looking stupid to your audience. Just saying.

[@bubblybubbles9052]

Thanks for trying, but you talk way too much... Good luck dude:)

[@joseph2832]

Surprised that made in China junk sounds as good as it does. It’s because you play very well, get yourself a Martin and you will really turn heads.
