Hacks, tips, methods, techniques, ideas, doohickies...who cares what they're called. David, you're all about helping people so if people don't want to be helped, don't worry about it. The rest of us love your videos - keep em coming!

[jkdsteve]

Good stuff...always like the extended/connected Pentatonic boxes...if only my brain would remember them :-)

[JAFOpty]

man, people complain about every stupid little thing. Dont know how you can handle them. Keep up the great work!

[raeasley]

Don't apologize for using the word hack. Some people are offended because they aren't happy unless they're unhappy. It's their fault not yours.

[geetarwanabe]

Nice ideas. p.s don't apologize to people for such a thing.

This could be titled: 5 Pentatonic scales that`ll melt your face off.  :-)

Hi Dave, first time guy here, rock and blues player, but you have opened up so many idea's to new sounds and thinking. Wow...just...thanks )

0:048...that was funny as crap! you're one of the best David.

The approach of using more spread out fingerings to cover different positions is something I really need to work on.

If you get time I have a question. I have a Mini Beat Buddy, which I greatly prefer over a basic metronome. However they recommend that it be position outside everything else including the looper. Just curious if you'd have a suggestion to get that drum machine tracking inside the looper. Thanks!

Hey David. Is that a Prestige Ibanez? Do you still have it? I am looking for a shred guitar. My heavy old factory PRS is a tone machine, but I have tendonitis. I need something easy and I haven't played Ibanez since 1989. Thoughts?

[TheFullbend]

The more I dig your videos the more I learn! This is a goldmine!!! 😉 I have a question though the lick 3 wouldn't it be F#m pentatonic instead of Em (which would be the "aeolian" position)?

[bordonbert]

How about doing a special tutorial on playing in the Pedantatonic scale specifically for the people who were offended by your hack faux pas?

[jeffbellomy]

VERY helpful, love the timing and reminded me to use my metrodome more often when practicing scales...thanks david

[grafenteiner]

I like the minibar. Cheaper and more useful than the other sort.
