thank you, I have been thinking for a while now that I need to start working in the area of alternate picking synchronicity, and then I see your vid, wow! just what I needed.
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for and why I support your channel through Patreon. Thanks so much for all the great lessons. I really appreciate all you do to make us better musicians.
8:19 Thats the sequence that gets me. I saw some GIT student shred that pattern at hyperspeed getting every note clean. mind blowing. i cant hardly play it slow much less up tempo. i`m lazy about learning some stuff especially if its not coming naturally fast enough to my satisfaction. or something difficult i will push through only through sheer determination because i love the piece and HAVE to learn it. ;-)
Excellent video as always - on the thinking thing, I find you need to think while practicing but if you start thinking while playing live, that’s when it goes wrong!
That is a great workout Mr. Brewster. It has got me thinking and trying to execute clean playing,... every note,... every time. Jammin' with you from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Keep up the great work Dave!
I also practice improvising with scales and making chords that I don't know the names of, but I know they're in key, out of scales. And I like to find all of my favorite "nooks & crannies" of any new scale I learn, like: "Where's the Diatonic Tritone and the relative Lydian position of this scale?"
This is absolutely a great video!! Something I definitely was missing, and needed. As you were demonstrating the exercises I could also here future tunes to be created. Thank you sir for the share and your time
Hey David, great workout. I have noticed how you are very traditional with your picking hand and the way you hold the guitar on your left leg. Maybe you could do a video about different right hand picking techniques, the advantages and disadvantages of different techniques. Some players prefer to keep their picking hand tight with the fingers folded under and others like to fan out their fingers and even anchor their hand with the pinky for example.
Nice vid, the musicality of your exercises help, one can see application fairly quickly listening as you go through the workout, that is where one can use these licks in solos. Useful real-world application is key for me.
Another exercise for that scale is to practice sweep picking. Or hammer on the second and third notes, then repeat the same notes using alternate picking before ascending to the next string.
Happy Friday, Sensei Dave! I'm watching this now. I should have enough time to work on this over the weekend too. Thank you sir! PS: One thing I'm noting is your right hand. It isn't planted hard on the bridge. You're moving so your pick is hitting the same place on all the strings.
This is an awesome workout. Thanks for sharing David. These lessons have really been helping me to improve my playing. Really appreciate what you do for us 💯👍🎸
Awesome lesson. Just wondering, I know it’s sort of a silly thing to say as you’ve demonstrated it in the video but I think the biggest stigma that guitarists may get when trying to learn is knowing which exact fingers to use and change to when going through notes. I think knowing which fingers to use on every single note is 100% crucial and the essence to everything in guitar so they don’t get lost and tied up. Or more so for dexterity.
Fun Fact! B.B. King was mostly an alternate picker! He said he'd do all down-strokes, though, when he knew he absolutely had to get certain things right.
LATE NIGHT, There should be Etudes exercises that are drills for MIT and GIT students as I would think because they would do these types of scalar sequencings for classical violists which are called drills. Going up and down scales in 3rds or 4ths or 5ths also but the concept that classical composers did with these exercises was make Etudes out of them by using a motif melody line and apply it to an Etude scalar exercises like in this video lesson. Try to make a lesson about Etudes and violin exercises because randy rhoads and yngwie studied these from various drills and exercises.
Thanks for the exercises. I would be curious if you ever did specific ones to develop your vibrato? Vibrato is something I neglected to develop over the years and am now trying to develop exercises to improve that.
Best tips from a self-taught guitarist. Imagine playing in front of a bunch of people when you practice. Feel that pressure and nervousness that you feel when you try to play in front of people. It's not just about learning technique, you need to practice for the moment. Everybody knows what it feels like to be able to play great in your room, but freeze up when you hit record so this stops you from trying to play in front of others. You can build confidence by visualizing the anxiousness and learn to play through it. Just feel it and keep playing. Soon it will begin to go away. Next. It's important to really focus on your hand muscles when you do these exercises. Really lock in and feel the muscles in your hands and fingers. That's training your nervous system to connect which will improve your ability to move independently. Your hand muscles can easily become tight without you even realizing it, especially your thumb. Look at your hand when fretting and really focus in on the deep hand and finger muscles. This goes double for the thumb as the thumb is usually the tightest, and since it's opposable, tight thumb muscles will significantly hamper your dexterity. And probably even more important is to record yourself playing because what you're doing is a finger performance so you want to see the way it looks from your audience's point of view. When you record it, or watch yourself in the mirror, you can see the way it looks and train your muscles to move in a way that looks good as well. This is a tip I picked up from Steve Vai, and it's one of the best tips I've ever stumbled upon. As a self-taught guitarist these are two of the biggest tips I could give. You'll improve rapidly if you treat your practice sessions like a gym session for your fingers. You should spend some time really trying to strengthen your fingers and hand muscles when you practice. It'll give you the most bang for your buck. And for the love of God, please go slow. So much bad technique is because you're trying to go too fast. You will improve more if you actually take your practice seriously and follow the tips you hear, because they work. That was my biggest issue. I always tried to go too fast. I had to learn patience. I was blown away by how quickly I improved my play by working out my fingers, recording my play and, and went slow. Share your best guitar tips on guitar channels as well. Most of us are self-taught so it's good to pass on what you've learned to others. That's how we get better guitar music. And man thank the people who are putting the time and energy to create content to help us out!
Hey brother, I appreciate your channel and laid back approach. Was wondering if you'd consider playing an absolute guitar idol of mine Frank Marino. In fact if you haven't seen his few videos bouncing around RUclips of his {Live at Agora} vids, you're missing a bet. I'd recommend a song "The Answer" from it. Enjoy
Hey man! I did hit some Frank Marino about three years ago on the channel, and actually one of the viewers messaged me that he actually met Frank through his wife's family (or something like that) and he played my video for him. He said that Frank liked it and got a kick out of watching me play his licks. I was completely honored. Anyway, thanks for watching and check it out! Here's a link to the vid ---> ruclips.net/video/oHo6LBU39DI/видео.html
@@LateNightLessons I wasn't super familiar with Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush until your lesson, but it's one of my favorite Late Night Lessons! In fact, I'm due for a revisit there! Thanks for the LINK, David!
My finger tips still havent stopped hurting despite callouses and I hate it because I actually miss notes bc of it. I wanna cut my finger tips off like Tony Iommi.
AND YET...ANOTHER ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC VIDEO...
Wow! I need to get to work! Thank you Mr Brewster

This is the greatest guitar lesson in the history of guitar lessons. I could be happily working on the concepts here for years.

You're a Great Teacher, David. Proud to $upport LNL.
Exercise 2 variation at 7:57, where you pause (ascending) on the 4th note sounds so cool! Descending very tasty as well. Thanks, Dave.
i hope you get to 1ook subscribers soon....you deserve it David
That is a great workout Mr. Brewster. It has got me thinking and trying to execute clean playing,... every note,... every time. Jammin' with you from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Keep up the great work Dave!
Really great lesson David. I love that scale, I use it daily. Thanks for the all the cool ways to practice it.
Great lesson Dave!!!! Love the workout lessons. Always trying to better my technique and these lessons do the trick. Thx, keep up the great work 🎸
The scale is easy to play through but the variations are not for me need to spend more time on those thanks David 👍👏🤘
Thanks for these lessons!! Playing scales is pretty darned boring doing it over and over. Great ideas on variations!!
I also practice improvising with scales and making chords that I don't know the names of, but I know they're in key, out of scales. And I like to find all of my favorite "nooks & crannies" of any new scale I learn, like: "Where's the Diatonic Tritone and the relative Lydian position of this scale?"
Thank You like always for these great videos!
Another bomb lesson David! Thanks so much for improving my playing dramatically. Such great stuff.

Some players prefer to keep their picking hand tight with the fingers folded under and others like to fan out their fingers and even anchor their hand with the pinky for example.
My right hand pick holding method is mostly based on photos I saw of Alex Lifeson of Rush (with fingers sort of fanned out a little).
Thanks, these episodes are really improving my play. BTW Spacedragon is a jam! It got stuck in my head the other day after just one listen!
I love your Scales & Tales Episodes, David! Thanks! This Lesson Ruled!
we need a studio tour here from this guy. cool tones.
i wanna know what is that with the lashing red light beside him too.
check his vid "guitar tone and amps" 🤘

Oh yeah? Is it what I'm looking for?

Loved it. Off to practice this. Enjoyed it brother.
Excellent as always, a huge thank you from downunder.
So good to see you have "Eddie" sitting in with you !!
Awesome workout!!

Great ideas as always! Could u perhaps do a video on pickslanting?

Excellent!
Great lesson as usual buddy!
This is an awesome workout. Thanks for sharing David. These lessons have really been helping me to improve my playing. Really appreciate what you do for us 💯👍🎸
Great lesson. This will keep going a lot of happy learners. Great job 🤘🏻
Magic…thank you for sharing and also playing at a tempo I can follow…👍
I really love your set and you have a very passionate way of explaining things perfectly. Thank you!

That Vibrato exercise is Gold !
Great exercise, thanks for sharing.
Wow Dave! These are great - especially #5. Thanks much!
Awesome lesson David thanks for sharing. You have a great tone dialed in. What effect are you using?
TY 🍺’ski awesome workout. Was wondering if you could do some Glen Campell riffs? There’s tons on amazing footage of him burning!
Wonderful lesson !
Love it David. Great ideas here.
Great lesson!!!!
Great lesson. I also practice excercises like this with a clean sound.

The rolling vibrato reminds me of Brian May👍😎

What a great video!!!!
David's legato sounds better than my alternate picking!
How do 7.25 radius fretboards compare to flatter ones, 9.5, 12 inch, for dexterity, speed and string bending?
💯
Excellent video 👍🏻👏🏻

David would love to see you feature the style of giant guitar shredder 'Blues Saraceno'
My pointer finger and middIe finger don't seem to want to do the whoIe-step stretch while ascending. Guess I need this Iesson...IoI
Outstanding content on your channel…
You are an outstanding guitarist, and this one is one of the best will begin working on it today
Thank you! 14:16
Could you try an do a Eddie hazel soloing secrets please
👍👍👍
Idea for a three for all would be Derek Taylor, Scott Mishoe, Scott Stine.
Good lesson . I'm a long time beginner . always looking for something to learn . video was fast.
Can we have a Rex Carrol 2.0?
Could I get the Telegram link once more. Unfortunately, clicking sent me to the comments section of RUclips. Thanks in advance
He David I’m requesting a Little Feet Chords of
If you ever need a new best friend...I’m available.
My finger tips still havent stopped hurting despite callouses and I hate it because I actually miss notes bc of it. I wanna cut my finger tips off like Tony Iommi.
Pdf files would be nice also. Thank You...
