I have watched years over thousands of music theory explanations. This is the most valuable and well taught explanation of playable notes on youtube or the near universe. Thank you for the key, good sir.

One of the most watchable, useful and unpatronising lead guitar videos I’ve seen.. excellent stuff.

Ive watched many a Dicky Betts tutorials that talk about getting his sound, and maybe i just didnt realize it at those times, but this is the first time a lesson zeroed in right away on what I consider to be Dickey's signature sound, which is that lick. As soon as i got it under my fingers, i said that's it! Feels so good! Thank you!

[Freeontheland]

Enjoyed the lesson very much and I believe it will be a big help. Thanks

Great explanation! I learned something cool today. The diminished scale moving up or down a semitone greatly simplifies WHEN to use WHAT. Robben Ford's explanation didn't sink in as easily. Thanks!

Thank you. This lesson really helped me understand how the various scales and modes can be integrated into seamless, tasty licks.

This is an outstanding guitar instruction video! I hope you do more guitar technique instructions on the styles of Duane Allman, Dickey Betts and Allen Collins!🗻🕊️🦅

The Jesus of blues instruction…. This just helped me more than anything in 30 years of researching the blues guitar techniques.

This is out of my pay grade, but not for long. Very well presented.

Amazing demonstration of guitar magic, thank you

I’ve been playing since I was eight years old and now 65 and I think that this video is brilliant. The thing I like to do is get some really good bite on my strings which gives you that real emotional feeling

40 year player, just discovered your channel. I love the way you break things down. This is awesome! Thank you so much.

[GARRY]

Magic happens when you feel what u play in the moment.

[JovanAndjelovski]

Glad I stumbled on your channel! Wonderful tips, thanks! :)

Dicky Betts played a lot of Major pentatonic notes. That was his sound, plus adding the 4th interval.

[annarakannan]

Nice ramble. Great tone. Excellent playing.

[StanWhitton]

Such a great video. Pacing, quality, instruction, are all perfect. Thank you for this video, it is greatly appreciated

[georgesember]

Thanks for posting! I discovered Dickie Betts late in life, I’m 81. I saw the Allman Brothers in 1970, when they opened for BB King in San Francisco!. Their set was kind of short because Buddy Guy and Junior Wells were also on the bill. I had no idea who they were!!

Forget scales! All 12 notes are available to you over any Dominant 7 chords. First the tritone of 3-b7 or b7-3 are easy to find and will always be the most “inside” in a Blues with 3 Dominant 7 chords. Say the chords are A7-D7-E7; play EADGBE on frets 3-4-5-6-8-9 for A7, and all one down for D7 and all one up for E7. Those tritones are guaranteed to be the most “inside” for any Blues with 3 Dominant 7 chords. Now, to those 2 notes, start adding to them until you can find 1-2-b3/3-4-b5-5-6-b7 which is Mixolydian + the Blues scale. Even b2-b6-7 can be used in chromatic lines. - Here’s 5 CAGED chords, all E Dominant 7 on just the top 4 strings of DGBE: E7, 2130; D7-shape 2434; C7-shape, 6757; A7-shape, 9797; G7-shape, 999-10; and E7-shape again at 14-13-15-12.
- Use those shapes and associate them to Mixolydian + the Blues scale. Don’t use 3 if the chord is minor, and only go UP from b3 to 3 if the chord is Dominant 7.
