    one of the secrets to this riff is breaking off chunks of notes in groups of five or six. Eric Johnson does five note descending runs and then he'll go back up four notes and then descend five and then back up four. bonamassa does six notes down four notes up six notes down but he also does the five notes also.

    I'm going to practice this, but i'm going to practice picking every note. Joe almost always picks every single note when he does these cascading pentatonic licks. In my opinion that's what makes them sound so good.

  • @device9
    @device9 2 года назад +3

    I've been working on this for quite a few years it doesn't just happen. first you have to get your alternating picking going on your descending runs and you have to start correctly with a downstroke and you have to switch strings correctly with downstroke for ascending riffs and upstroke for descending riffs. I've been playing guitar 35 years and I was made aware of this technique very young by Randy rhoads. zakk Wylde also is a master of this technique and does some crazy pentatonic runs. the smoothness and clarity and absolute perfect timing that Joe bonamassa has is what makes it sound so good. he does a demonstration and shows how you don't even have to do it very quickly it just has to be done correctly with the right timing and it just sounds awesome. this riff is 100% hard work

  • @donnierayflatt6609
    @donnierayflatt6609 Год назад +1

    The cascading pentatonic effect is more often groups of 5 noted not 6 and Joe B is picking but using economy picking not alternate. Additionally, once you get fluid, you can use different groupings and subdivisions. Aka, groups of 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 intermixed. Then work on using 8th notes, 16th, 32nd, and triplets.

    Great teacher, great lesson. I’ve been old school for 4 years but recently spent a year learning the three note per string scales but I just can’t improvise three note per string whilst this two note style feels so much more natural! So it’s great to see that all I need to do is put in the effort to learn some new runs and my old school can work. Clapton, bonamassa, moore.... old school... actually I can’t think of any players that I like whomgive it the old three note shred routine. great lesson

  • @DrBones669
    @DrBones669 4 года назад

    Tbh, I don't have as much time as I'd like to practice. But, I'm glad that I finally found someone that really tells it like it is and creates videos around the truth. It's all about the practice. Yes this lick and that exercise and those patterns help understand some concepts better than others. Though all of that means nothing if you don't put in enough time. I wasn't browsing RUclips for theory, I was just looking for exercises that would help me work on dexterity and certain techniques, loops, stuff that I could do even with the little time I have available, but stuff that touched on more than one aspect of playing and that once mastered, would show that progress in other areas, without even realizing it myself as I actually progress, if that makes sense. That's pretty much what I've gotten so far from this channel. Time investment is mandatory but I've never ran across a similar channel or teacher that helps you learn and do so much with the simplest of exercises. I blame the success of these lessons on their simplicity, thoughtfulness, and the way Claus explains everything. He has a way of inspiring confidence, while also basically repeating the harsh truth that you can't get anywhere without practicing certain things thousands of times. In my humble opinion, these videos should have at least five times their number of views.
    PS: I think this is the first channel where I didn't immediately go looking or asking for tabs and stuff. The way everything is presented, I just don't need them. I could always manage to follow along and memorize things after one or two video playthroughs. That should say a lot, I think...

    • @DrBones669
      @DrBones669 4 года назад

      PS 2: Can't believe I forgot to add this... This is the first time I actually stopped thinking about some things being unattainable on guitar without natural-born talent. This has always been in the back of my head since I first picked up a guitar and has stunted my progress and even caused me to dump the instrument for lengthy periods of time because I just wanted to give up. Not anymore :) Maybe there are better lessons out there and I just haven't found them yet. But I'll never again underestimate the value of how guitar lessons are presented. Presentation is 90%, especially when you're already technically sound as a player (speaking of Claus now). You can show millions of licks but to no avail if you don't properly explain them in a language that everyone from noob to seasoned player can understand. :) Great job!

      Do it both ways, gentlemen-with pulloffs and without. And do both alt-picking and economy, as well. And for pick-slanting, exaggerate it then minimize it. On and on and on, mix it up and expand your toolbox.
