Learning scales is a must in playing the guitar I just learned scales a couple months ago and trust me it’s so much easier

You do not know how long I have been waiting for a video like this.




Time to break out the strat

Thanks for making this man, I clicked on this and knew that you would be one of the best to listen to because of the sheer amount of music content you pump out. Your covers are a godsend man, thanks for the videos👍

[nitjared]

my favorite pop punk leads are the hammer-on pull-offy ones in songs like the intro of staircase wit and the secondary intro riff in empty space.

Blake these are great videos. Keep up the work!!

[MatthewPusey]

Thanks, Blake! I've been looking for something like this for a while, really helps me understand what they're doing. Giving it a go now.

As a Rhode Islander, I appreciate the Providence College books and stuff you rep. Keep rockin bud! <3

[andresstoner]

AWESOME AS USUAL! Can you do any of Good Charlotte, any of the first 3 albums?

[tessamekers]

Thank you so much for this video, lots of useful information! Will definitely check out the rest of your channel.

[Gabingus]

Thanks man, very useful and informative

[OmnipotentSag]

The 4th and 5th ways are using a lower note over a higher string and clusters utilizing diads and triads. -=80)

[lofipoppunkradio]

Dude your guitar tone is absolutely epic! How do you get about it?

[TeamPaidToDrive]

More videos like this if possible! Maybe some acoustic rhythms and leads? (unless you already have those videos?) 👍 🤘

[trippowen]

Is there tabs for the song you demonstrated in this video?

[MrMixolydian]

Great video. Thank you! Did you go to law school? I used to work at a college bookstore and recognize those books below your sign.

[lightartorias]

Great video! And awesome personality! I usually dread listening to someone explain guitar stuff, but you had food energy and a chill vibe. I had fun checking out your video. Please make more how to's! I am now subbed 🤘

(Also, cool thing including your Gamertag. It would be pretty chill if you played rainbow six siege)

[tylercrone]

most helpful video I've seen, great job and thank you

[brandonreyes-castellanos]

When recording the rhythm and lead guitars together, do you eq them the same?
