Pentatonic Licks EASY - HARD - WEIRD

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to pentatonic licks to learn.

2s, , 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, great player licks, variations, slight alterations, ideas for extending, ..., excellent execution. Great video!

I personally think, anyone who is trying to get super fast at shredding 3 notes per string should spend plenty of time on pentatonic sequences. Once you get good at 2 notes per string, you tend to take off like a jet when you go back to 3 notes per string. Helped me a lot! 👍🏻

AWESOME VID - fun for me to watch, hard to play at 68, but inspiring me to never stop after 55 plus years.

For visual learners these lessons are perfect. No wasted time over explaining.

For many years I was trying to find a teacher who could simply teach me these type of licks. No theory no nothing. No one did, like it was their magical soup or something. I watched and listened to many advanced players playing these stuff and i was jealous and pissed off 'cause i could not figure them out (not very talented of course). I found this video last week. I am at the "standard legato" trying to play it without thinking it before i move on. I'm doing good and i also feel like i can make it as an (amateur/hobbist) guitarist! I have a new personal musical purpose once again!
Thank you so so much Cameron!

WOW, you are a great teacher and highly skilled guitarist/musician. Thank for sharing. I have been playing guitar for 40 years, and my picking technique is already improving because of you. Thanks

[TheNothing]

Pentatonics are still my favorite. I've been spicing them up for years. Killer video, Cameron! 🤘🏼

[diegovalenzuela]

As an 113 yo and 322 years playing... Who is new to pentatonics... Very good lesson!!

[aleksandarpotocnjak]

All those pentatonic fores that you just play on the guitar are great, that with such a style of decomposing pentatonic, major scales we can perfect each of our styles of playing the guitar🎸👍:All your advice is great. You play that guitar phenomenally.. The tone is spot on, and every tone and final vibration and tone🎵 twist makes you sound great no matter what you play.

[Dirtbiker-guy]

Young man, you are perhaps the best guitar teacher on Youtube, your way of describing your licks and your presentation, along with your ridiculous skills is nothing short of amazing. As an old (crappy) guitar player, I appreciate this and wish I had your instructions when I was much younger. Kudos to you.

[TheBladepolisher]

Here again Cameron shows everyone what a real workingman's pentatonic lesson is all about. Homie shreds like the world depended upon it. The best part of his lesson is that his breakdown speed jumps are just enough where if you can do the slow version, than the middle and fast ones start to take shape. Thanks again my brother ! ! your tearin' it up ! ! !

[directorbob]

Dude....I am 60 years old and my first concert was Led Zeppelin in 1977 at MSG. Been at this a long time and LOVE your videos!!!🤘

[MadGunny]

I’ve been feeling really stuck with my playing lately, but this video was eye opening to some different ways I can spice up some of my pentatonic runs. I appreciate it bro

[raymondwilliams]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love to watch you play, I could watch and listen to you all day. Absolutely fascinating the way you explain the techniques of guitar, even an eejit like myself can understand what you're saying ! It would be nice if I could play those licks but somehow it's enough to just watch you and feel enthused and optimistic enough to 'have - a - go'. You're a diamond geezer, thank you young man. 😃🎸🤗❤️🇬🇧✌️🖖👋

[vegasaxeman]

Really good advice and an easy to follow lesson my British 🇬🇧 friend!!!
Seriously, I really like the way that you talk "too" your viewers instead of talking "at" them, like if you were talking down to them. You have everything that a beginner can use but also a few things to teach old dogs new tricks! Very nice job mate! 🇺🇸
God bless and take care...

[TangoRom]

Dude... I'm watching this over and over again. Can't get enough of this. Great fingers you got there! Kudos, brother.

[crisrose]

Perfect learning video . Simple, easy to understand and just ONE simple viewing camera. Well done and rock on 🤘🏻

[Illneverremember]

Great lesson. Intervallic sequences like this are the best way to practice any scale. And as you demonstrate, most "licks" in Rock are about 90% scale sequences.

[aleksandarpotocnjak]

Interesting things for practicing your fingers, and when you play, you can add all the useful things, whether we play metal / rock / blues / jazz. Every advice that Cameroon shows us is more than useful.Every tone he plays on the guitar🎸 sounds great👍👍👍👍
