Yeah, they do get a bit boring. And im terrible at not sticking to it.. But hearing you play a good melody in the same spot made it a lot more interesting.
Wormweed I used to find them boring but by time stronger and stronger became the urge to get things right so eventually I got used to boring scale practice. now I'm enjoying every moment of it.
and makes it much easier to apply!! THX Darrel, and thx Wormweed for the lols on your first comment! : "they just say play the pentatonic and become a god."
love how you added the chomatics at the end. most lessons like this stop short and only focus on the pentatonic notes. you show how to blend other notes in with the pentatonic for some spice.
i like how straight forward and succinct your lesson was. not too much talking. straight to the point. the rest is just a matter of practice for a student.
Darrell, I want to thank you for all of your videos. I was once quite good at guitar and an accident left me with a traumatic brain injury. I lost much of my memory including languages I knew. One of those was music. I have had to teach myself to play the guitar again and I am just now getting to scales and lead guitar. These videos are super helpful! Thanks!
Those fast runs between the a and b strings are what made Kirk Hammett famous during the kill em all and ride the lightening days. Nearly every solo off those two albums have a run similar to what you’re demonstrating
DUDE! this vid is gold bro! this is exactly they kind of vid I have looking for, Everyone shows us scales but noone shows us what to do with them to make them actually sound like something. Thank you SOOOO much! best scale vid on youtube right here!
Great stuff. I picked up the guitar not too long ago and have been looking to improve my lead playing. I sometimes forget the importance of running scales and figuring out new ways to mix them up, so this is awesome. Thanks.
.. i dnt have a teacher , so it becomes difficult for me to grasp technical knowledge fast ,compared to others ( and thinking of acquiring one ) but, seriously you are hell lot of great teacher for helping others to improve with your teaching way. The way u teach to apply the concept with the example.. for me this is greatest lesson i came across so far on youtube.. thank you :) and happy new year ! bro.. keep up the good work
Great set of excercises, Darrell, and your putting them into straight forward soloing examples shows how many young students I'm sure you have seen exasperated with scales wondering why they are so important! Also, your finger speed: one day I will have it! Thanks as always!
love your lessons more than anyone else it helps a lot ,the way u show how to use them . your lessons are very straightforward that is very good. please upload some videos on sweep picking .
+Bhuwan Sehgal Just follow the link in the video description :) Or go to the Etsy website and search "Darrell Braun Guitar" that will get you to my TAB store 😀
Another great video man! I'm going to master this! This is something i've been looking for for a long time and could never find a good lesson for! You are becoming one of my favorite youtube guitarists! Good shit man! :D
Don't know about the rest of you but the first solo example 1:54-2:23 sounds awesome and would really like to see the tabs for it, minus the pentatonic lick Darrell already showed!!
Really nice workout dude!, I already knew first two exersices but I never tought of using chromatic notes before. I mean, I just use the chromatic notes on the A and G string... Nice way to change things up a little!
great lesson, thanks Darrell. That was very similar to the lesson I had Wednesday with my instructor. He didn't give me the solos yet just the exercises. I'll practice the solos and hopefully surprise him lol. This is the first of your lessons I've seen. It was excellent thank you. Steve
I'm totally abeginner on guitar I'm a singer but I've allways wanted to be able to rip a lead out like Zack Wild..your vids are awesome...I appreciate your help learning..even tho I know nothing it wasn't to difficult to keep up with what you were saying... but I've got a long way to go ...I subscribed to yachannel..I've got a lot I can learn from ya
yes . you really give the ear something to connect with , very well done. see , these are the things that someones older brother could kinda do when i was growing up , and appearently i loved the stuff and picked up way too fast to be continuing showing . so many years later and with the net. wala. there you are. if we were kidds with this kind of info being shown whereever. anyway . Here we are and thank you for the support. excellent feel too rock on!!!
I bought the exercises which I've started into and I believe they will be a helpful augmentation to my present learning needs... I was wondering if there is a video of the 16th Hammer/Pull exercise.. I trying it but not really sure what it's meant to sound like "up to speed" ... (or even rhythmically fluent)?
Just found your channel, i know most of these riffs and have a great time relisten to them. but you add just i bit more to my sound sytle that i need. a polish of sorts. Great job !!!
Hello, I'm brazilian! And congratulations for the video....My english is bad, but I understood the exercises and I liked the exemples on the playbacks...
201/5000 Because the video was well recorded, the audio well mixed and the explanations, even for those who do not speak English fluently can understand, just like me, that using google translate to write to you .... lol
After watching "how to do calligraphy", I went here. I have been practicing pentatonic scales using my acoustic guitar because I don't have an electric and it's so hard XD. Nice video :). I subscribed!!!
What are you doing to switch from legato (first 8 notes) to staccato on both the way up and way down? It happens so fast, I would never know without slowing it down and having the technique spoon fed to me. How many years have you been playing guitar? Did PRS give you a free guitar in return for showing it off? They should have.
Hey Mr. Darrel, great lesson man. Been watching a lot of your stuff , and it's really helping me out stand out in my circle. It wud be very much nice if you cud post a link to the backing track or something 😉
Darrell Braun Guitar hey Darrell it's me Ian! I just wanted to thank you for this lesson and thank you for everything you do for us for uploads. As always I'm always here to cheer you on no matter what. Hop you have a great week! Your biggest fan and friend -Ian. 😄👍
Great video. I'll be pulling down the exercises. Thank you. As an aside, can you do a video on your finger nails? How do you maintain them and not break them?
I love that you put the examples into a solo, nobody ever does that, they just say play the pentatonic and become a god. Thank you
+Wormweed No problem :)
I like to show the motivation for learning "boring" scales 😄
Yeah, they do get a bit boring. And im terrible at not sticking to it.. But hearing you play a good melody in the same spot made it a lot more interesting.
Wormweed I used to find them boring but by time stronger and stronger became the urge to get things right so eventually I got used to boring scale practice. now I'm enjoying every moment of it.

Wormweed agree with you bro...
love how you added the chomatics at the end. most lessons like this stop short and only focus on the pentatonic notes. you show how to blend other notes in with the pentatonic for some spice.
Simple, informative, clean, starightforward, and extremely useful.

Thank you for taking the pentatonic basics and showing how to make them sound melodic!
DBG does it again ! ! A relaxed, well thought out approach to teaching that covers everything from concept to performance. Good job Dee ! !
Great stuff. I picked up the guitar not too long ago and have been looking to improve my lead playing. I sometimes forget the importance of running scales and figuring out new ways to mix them up, so this is awesome. Thanks.
the examples of how to use it in a solo are really important. Thank you

I'll do a longer, more complete lesson on how to improvise in the future :)
