The SECRET to playing FAST Pentatonic Lines?!?!

in addition to 2nd degree you can use 5b as passing note between 5thp and perfect 4th but Eric never uses these degree as a scale degree ( like in blues scale) just as passing note either when you move up from 4 to 5 (4#) or when descend from 4th to 5 specially if the rhythm needs you to add one more note to land on or off the certain beat

that degree called major second (super tonic) and without the sixth degree it really doesn't take the personality of the pentatonic scale , it is a very good hint I myself was always in wonder how Eric Johnson doing such a smooth runs and I invent lots of sweep style implementation of the pentatonic scale your note was really helpful

Dude your playing is the best. Its steady, it's balanced and you just got the tone right. Just a pleasure to watch really 😅

Fine, ffs I’ll subscribe

Cmon cnt!..

Do you know what pentatonic means? It's five notes. You have six notes there

slow it down, buddy

Buddy kearn how to explain like holy rap just add this note okay let me teach you smt just play this chord and youll be great ;)

You went down a half step, sounds cool

Small hands = speed

came on . 2023/24 licks paul gilbert😂

Easy!

Bro you're fucking shredding

What model LP do you have there? 50’s, 60’s?

Gary Moore too. He was so so good

That may be well and cool, but to get your right and left hands as synced up as you have them here takes thousands of hours of practice and repetition. I'm a beginner and I'm prepared to put that work in, but that is my main struggle.

Sweet guitar. The double cream goes well with the trans amber.

How long did it take you to pick every note spot on ??

Nice!

Everything about your playing is just awesome. Thanks for sharing like you do!

You should slow down to get your point across ....we know you're fast.if people are watching you there trying to get fast..So slow down bruh!

I know how they do it better than anyone, they're more talented

he forgot to tell you about economy picking ...try THAT out haha

I can’t imagine to have had your skills when I was your age. Good feel too. Good playing, dude!

Hii.. can you help me out with something ?

Check out Troy Grady’s Cracking the Code to go more in depth about what this guy is talking about. If you’re a downward pickslanter, this just allows you to change strings on an upstroke so you don’t get stuck in between strings. You can build up CRAZY speed just off of understanding this.

These people not really telling us the secret of how they learn it.

Troy Grady has a really good explanation of why this works. It has to do with downward pick slanting and how the Eric Johnson style of picking/playing optimizes switching between strings. I noticed I did the same thing with the 9/maj7 in pentatonic phrases as well without even thinking about it. There's so many hidden mechanics behind picking technique that even the best players don't know they're doing until you watch back footage in slow motion.

Threw up in your own mouth there at the start

Nah, because then it's not pentatonic. My advice would be to use the pinky finger as sparingly as possible.

This was a nice tidbit

Maybe try to show it a liiiiittle slower

You’re making a video to show off ?
Explain the dam thing

If your going to make a video, and we all appreciate that
Do it more slow so the rest of us can grasp it

gonna try it but first how be fast like that😅

That's called the ghost note.

YOU PLAYED IT TO SLOW CAN U PLEASE SPEED IT UP

Alrighty then.. easy peasy

I can't see wtf he's doing. How bout some tab. Yes u hear you his with the intervals. I'm working on it. I got the five shapes down good.

That is a great idea. I never thought of it that way and have been playing for years

Showoff

That note is the 9th

Sheesh 👏

Would you talk about your right hand technnic?

Oh yea, I got it now. Super easy

Gary Moore was so great at that ❤

How many years could you have been wondering? You look like you are 12 years old

Thank you master

I haven't a clue what you are talking about. 😢

Es increible como tocas puedes hacer un videos pasando los ultimos lick que hiciste desendiendo ?
