This video made my breakthrough. Ive been playing for 5-1/2ish years and am super comfortable I just never knew how to move around the neck or what licks to play fast. The exercises in this video pushed me through finally Thank you!
I really like your mild manner and very patient way of teaching man.thank you.ice been playing 26 years an never learned proper but am catching up or trying to at least learn new tricks for me.
I only just heard of neoclassical guitar! Its a new genre musically for me. BRILLIANT, im hooked, many thanks for a really interesting and instructive video. Cheers Hugh
This style started with classical, then guitarists like Ritchie Blackmore, and others in the 70's played it some. This style became a style totally on its own when Yngwie made his first album in 1984. Check it out if you like this style.
I will be referring to this video a lot. I am starting to sweep slowly and sloppily and this is the video I've been looking for... love Matty Friedman and I want to be able to play at that level. Thank you for the video on e again
Have been playing for a while and got an idet to start playing neoclassical. I started doing exercises yesterday and i think when i can master the scales, i will start improvising guitar
***** he is indeed, I've seen him live a couple of times, he's in my top three fave guitarists, the other two being Brian May and Steve Vai :) I'll be practicing some of the licks/runs you showed here along with the bits of neoclassical stuff I already know :)
JAMES RUNDLE, can you show in a video how to play a bunch of yngwie harmonic minor licks, phrygian dom licks, yngwie finger tapping licks. I'm confused on how to play A Phrygian dominant at the 1st fret and 12th fret. Yngwie plays pedal tones in diminished scales and finger taps using diminished scales but how do you do this?
Nice, but it’s worthwhile pointing out that if your getting into Neoclassical Guitar “Three Notes Per String” shapes are a must. Otherwise you essentially handicapping your playing from it’s full potential. Plus you only need to raise the b7 up by one fret (making it Maj 7th) in every shape, and this is constant for all diatonic shapes. Unlike the CAGED shapes! (forget this even exists) Hence why every Neoclassical guitarist uses them 🎸.
@@Rocklicks72 Thanks for the suggestion👍🏻. (I actually plan to start a active channel soon) I was a CAGED System player for years and new it inside out, but then I switched to the “Three Notes Per String System” and my playing skyrocket. I’ve also noticed that nobody is teaching the 3NPS System the way I learned it, they only teach it as a set of 3NPS Patterns, leaving the 6 and 5 string sweep arpeggios inversions, the four 7th arpeggios inversions and the triad/seventh chord inversions. (These are really needed to bind it all together into a complete system) So I think I do have something very unique to show the world, without trying to sound too cocky. Not that I come up with this, just nobody’s teaching it this way on the internet. Perhaps the “complete 3NPS System” got lost to the world many years ago and needs a revival. One example that’s missing is: When the “Three Notes Per String System” is learned correctly you only need to learn the seven diatonic shapes/patterns once to cover all modes. (No different patterns for each mode) Sharpen one note and you get the Harmonic minor scale and all it’s modes. (Again no different patterns to learn for all it’s modes) Sharpen one more note and then we have the Melodic minor scale with all it’s modes.(same again, covers all modes) Learning things in this exact order you only need to learn seven shapes/patterns. That’s it, Done! Then by just simply altering two extra notes “you can play all the shapes/patterns needed for 21 scales/modes.” Not much memorisation needed is there!? This is by far the fastest and easiest way to learn learn the modes, without question. When I learned all these modes with the CAGED System it took me about 10 years to really get them down and even then my mind would go blank under pressure, trying to remember all the bastardised Harmonic and Melodic minor CAGED modes. I think this could possibly be the very first video i’ll upload, considering I haven’t seen anyone show this extreme short cut to learning scales/modes. I mean we want to be playing, improvising and creating great music right? Not learning scale shapes/patterns for years lol. Anyway all the best mate, I wish you well 👍🏻🎸.

this neo-classical is a whole different beast, I'm not too sure if I want to go into this direction
good lesson with great exercises
I really like your mild manner and very patient way of teaching man.thank you.ice been playing 26 years an never learned proper but am catching up or trying to at least learn new tricks for me.
If anything ever happens to the voice actor for Shrek, I can rest well knowing we have James Randal as a replacement.
Phoenix as long as you don’t think I look like Shrek I’m happy lol 😀😀
The voice actor for shrek is Mike Myers the same guy who played Austin Powers
Robert L Smith yeah baby lol
@@robertlsmith6387 I think Meyers parents were Scottish
dude your talking about mike myers.... no replacement there.. but still.... ur right ahhaahha
Thanks for taking the time out to show us
So is there modes of the Harmonic minor and Melodic minor scales just like the modes of the major scale?
Yes, Google “harmonic minor modes” 😊

Is this good ones for first learning sweep picking form the beginning?
Great! Keep it up!

Nice demonstration James - thanks very much…
Speaking in harmonic minor since 1985, thanks for posting.
Thank you!!! Good job!!
Versailles did great neoclassical as well ;)
This is golden! Thank you so much!
Have been playing for a while and got an idet to start playing neoclassical. I started doing exercises yesterday and i think when i can master the scales, i will start improvising guitar
Thank you so much
when i play diminish runs , i think , +4 frets forward from the pinky a shortcut that works for me. give it a try
You have a nice accent, James! Thanks for the lesson vids.
Nice lesson,
I was wondering if you could provide us with a PDF with all those exercises,
Thanks
vic Jas Hi Viv, click the link in description for tabs😊 I'll add examples sheet too
where about in that link/page are the tabs, I see 2 Tabs by Hussein Boon, it that it?
have a look now :)
yes now I can see them, thanks.
time to practice, lol
do you plan to upload more instructive videos of this kind in the future?
Good video James, I'm very into listening and learning neo-classical myself, my main influences are Yngwie and Paul Gilbert 😀🤘🏻🎸🔊🎶
ben gray I used to follow Paul Gilbert's guitar column in guitar mags back in the 80s He's a great guitarist 😊
***** he is indeed, I've seen him live a couple of times, he's in my top three fave guitarists, the other two being Brian May and Steve Vai :) I'll be practicing some of the licks/runs you showed here along with the bits of neoclassical stuff I already know :)
ben gray I've just added link to blog with guitar tab sheets and videos 😊
***** excellent, I will check them out 😀
Check out Jason Becker
Nice Ibanez guitar. Good to see you're into shredding.
satchfan2010 Thanks. It was my first proper electric guitar back in the early 90s 😊
JAMES RUNDLE, can you show in a video how to play a bunch of yngwie harmonic minor licks, phrygian dom licks, yngwie finger tapping licks. I'm confused on how to play A Phrygian dominant at the 1st fret and 12th fret. Yngwie plays pedal tones in diminished scales and finger taps using diminished scales but how do you do this?
got a real lot out the lesson thankyou
Benjamin Small glad to hear it 😀
Great video thank you 👍👍

Good advice. You should make a video on it

Thanks you very much :)
THANK YOU VERY MUCH HELPS A GREAT DEAL I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I HEARD ODYSSEY BY YNGWIE AMAZING!!
John Owen I'm glad it helped. Hopefully it's made things a bit more simple to understand 😀
Good video
Team Rust-eze 95 Thanks Charlie 😀
Thank you for the video. What was the reference at the end of your video? I would really like to check it out.
Michael Sanders Thanks for watching 😊 check the links in description for all references
James Rundle Thank you and I'm looking forward to more of your videos.
Nice video James 👍
Brian May Guitar Videos By Craig Farley Thanks Craig 😊
Prelude to madness Savatage YES!
blackmore was kind of the first player to add classical music into rock burn is an example
It’s not economy picking, it’s Alternate Picking.
Learn randy rhoades' licks! That will give you alot of great neoclassical licks
