    I've played guitar since I was thirteen and have taught it in college for 22 years - and my view is that this man reveals more in one lesson in an accessible way than almost anyone I've ever heard.

    I was taught the pentatonic scale 50 years ago but never figured out how to utilize it. I just used the major scale and played the simple melody.
    This lesson was really helpful in understanding how to use it. I still got alot to figure out though to plug it in.
    But thank you

I was stuck in a rut and not going anywhere, and your videos are the only ones, and i must have watched hundreds on the net so far, your videos are the only ones that actually make any sense to me. I have just bought a few of your downloads from some videos to help support you and give a little something back.
    These "Stealing and Simplifying" Videos are AMAZING! And would love it if you could continue on with these as i learnt so much from these alone.

    Hey Ian. I want to thank you for being such a great guy and a great teacher. A few months after we spoke I was nearly homeless. I had to sell everything but my bed and my clothes, so my guitars and all of my gear was one of the first things to go. I look forward to every video because you inspire me to keep trying in guitar and life. Thankfully I am in a spot now where I can begin to rebuild. I'm going to get a cheap guitar and a little amp so I can play along with you again. Debating on a beginner pack or a cheap used guitar and get the rest over time. Anyway, thank you for everything you do.

I am in i want all the teaching i can get, super excited. I have played this Layla song over and over and tried to copy his style but i gave up eventually. You have made it come to light. Thank you.

    Exactly what I need to hear. The pentatonic scale is evident but the beauty is the motif and additional notes from the chords. It is one of my favorite songs by Clapton. Thanks for showing me how to go a bit beyond the scales to form a wonderful melody. This is a sticking point for me right now. You just gave me hope to conquer my dry performance.

  • @l4chl4nb
    @l4chl4nb 4 года назад

    Excellent lesson that can be applied to pretty much any rock/blues song and beyond... One thing I learned specifically is how to add chord tones to a solo, at least as a starting point for this technique. I've heard about it and can definitely hear it being used in songs to make a solo sound unique and custom fit to the song, but it seemed overwhelming to apply. Again i'm sure there are a million ways to use them, but simply hitting a single chord tone (outside of the key pentatonic) right at the chord change is very easy to understand and apply, and for the listener it does the job of making the solo sound awesome and not just like going up and down the pentatonic. Thanks for that!!
