Do my eyes and ears deceive me? A guitar teacher who doesn't blaze through the scale and make every one who is trying to learn feel like it is impossible. Someone who remembers what it is like when you're just starting to expand on your playing? WOW! This is why Darrell is the most relatable guitar instructor online.
Kevin O'Rourke
It's nice because he isn't just trying to show off. He is able to teach at the level of the person watching which is very helpful.
Totally agree! I sat in last 3 weeks in front of my teacher. He's keep sayin I don't have the grab. He's playing backtracks and tell: doi it. Sound terrible. Just scaling, no rythm ,no feeling. Then, he just take guitar and nail the thing. "Wow, nice!". Then, I sat that video on thursday. Today I take the guitar and put it on practice and I feel really nice doing... Nothing lol. But it starts to seem that I going somewhere. I'd have fun for 40 minutes just repeating over and over the back track. In fact, I moved to 4 shapes in Am scale, all bc felt confident. Really the best video on YT for the just beginnera.
Hopefully this lesson will help you guys get your jam on!
Enjoy :)
It did thanks man
Great lesson ! Your tips on phrasing definitely helped. I know the scales but when I played them over a backing track alot of the time they just sounded like random notes and didn't sound musical . Please continue this series and go more in depth. Thanks Darrell !
this helps immensely. is there an Improv 102 course? maybe where you throw in the "Blue note"
Is that a B&G hanging over the pedal showcase?
Darrell Braun Guitar This is masterful teaching. I’ve been playing on my own for 10 years but never learned scales or how to improvise. Everywhere I tried, it just didn’t click. So intimidating. This made things EASY! Thank you so much! Keep the series going PLEASE!
That's probably one of the most useful lessons I've seen on CZcams yet!
It sure was a good one.
agreed, this was the most useful i’ve seen. cld we see a “next steps” video, talking about how to advance from this, vertical improvising possibly?
I have been looking for this video for years and I didn’t know it untill today.
It often strikes me how much more skilled Darrell is at teaching these things than most, if not all the rest.
MasterCraft.
He seems to remember how one might think in all different phases of learning, and can communicate that - but also bring sollutions or tips to get ahead and onwards.
Great guy.
I have felt discouraged about my progress lately, but this lesson has help me tremendously Darrell. I fell in love with playing the guitar again
Dont give up man, the lightbulb moments will come!
Improvising is one of the most important and fundamental ideas of wanting to be a musician in any genre or style! Great work and lesson here man!
On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd have to rate this one as at least a 12.
akallio9000 but the scale only went to 7th 🤣
Definitely missed out on a spinal tap joke there
@@dontstopdamuzic9355 but there are 12 intervals xP
Agreeing 112%!👍👍👍
4:15 you can visibly see you struggling to stop yourself from absolutely shredding haha
"start on a, end on a"
quote of the day
Canadian: Start on "eh" end on "eh", .... hoser.
@@GetLinux i dont get the joke
@@dioimam15 Canadians are known for saying “eh” which is pronounced like the letter A
Many accomplished players who are also guitar teachers seem to forget what it's really like for learners. It's rare when a terrific guitar player like this can also teach well.
Darrell, i am 68 years old and a very 'ordinary' guitar player. Spent too much time flitting around and looking for the magic buttons and tricks, as a result I never disciplined my self. This video is easily the best explanation of improvisation on a scale I have ever seen. You make it look so simple and 'obvious', as it always is when someone who knows what they are doing explains it to you. As crazy as this sounds at 68 I am going back to basics so that i can double with my 16 year old grandson who can play me under the table. Thank you.
Darrel, this is a brilliant way to teach solo improvising! I wish someone had taught me this way. Luckily I eventually figured it all out on my own but wow this would’ve helped a lot.
Nobody has ever taught me improvisation as simple as that! I always found myself in a rut not knowing what to add or how to add more flavor. I especially found the "repeating notes" technique helpful. So thank you very much for this new perspective :)
I am really new to guitar, on day 3 or 4 now. I am at the point where I can do the A minor pentatonic scale fairly clearly at a slow rate. Seeing stuff like this gets me pumped to practice more so I can get to this level and just jam out a bit and make something that sounds nice. Thanks for the video!
Who's the person that disliked already? Show yourself coward. This was helpful.
A bot
Really! Who can find anything wrong with that lesson? Maybe it is someone who doesn't want others to advance in skills. I've been playing for about 5 years and I found this technique to be very insightful. I hope Darrell provides more of these. Thank you for calling the negative person or bot out!
Yes they are children thinking it's funny with nothing better to do usually complete failures at school or college that dislike everything
me
I think they have a reason
They didn’t want other bad guitar teacher in their recommended
Great lesson and foremost, an Excellent teaching style. Blows almost every other 'guitar teacher' on youtube out of the water (including the vaunted Paul Davids). You name the pitches by note letter instead of a verbalized TAB. First rate break down of the process including the 'map to the destination' of improvisation. Wish I would have had this type of lesson 20 years ago - I'd be a much more advanced player today.
I was one of the students you mentioned. I came from studying classical guitar, very little in the way of improvisation, so when I transitioned to blues and jazz, it was like wading into an ocean without knowing how to swim. Small steps is 100% the way to go. I love the way you broke it down like that.
Darrell mate you’ve opened a door I didn’t know I had a key to. tHANK YOU SO MUCH
Excellent, Darrell! Not just the mechanics of the scale, but the importance of listening to what the result is of various finger placements - and then correcting that result if you don't like it. The object is that it SOUND right.
2:00 "It only has two strings per note ..."
Me: tosses my guitar out the window
Great class! Darrell, here in Brazil, today (15/10) is Teacher's Day! So, congratulations!
This is a Teacher, you born to this man i learned so many things from you, big big hug.
I love you man. I’m paying guitar lessons and my teacher never taught me that and I thought I just wasn’t creative enough.
Darrell does a great job of using simplicity to show how to
slowly build up to a solo. Certainly helped me to clearly see how to use a scale and chords to create a solo which can be built upon on step at a time. Great job!
I wish you would do more videos like this you are such a instructor.
Thank you for this video Darrel! For a beginner like me this is like the cherry on top of the cake. It just unblocked certain windows locks. Once the windows are open i already can have access to others. Perfect!!!
This is just brilliant. What great work. Thanks for doing it man.
Always a pleasure to watch your episodes!
Thanks Darrel for sharing this, this really really helped me a lot!
Darrell, thanks for posting this, so much easier to understand. Thank you!
This lesson was awesome. Possibly the most helpful lesson I have seen to date. Thanks.
Great lesson! Complete and crystal clear!! No confusion and disorganised ideas:)
Very nice! I missed your tutorial videos sir. You've contributed a lot to my guitar playing and I thank you for that! Keep up the good work, and you help a lot of young guitarist out there!
REALLY wish I knew Darrell when I was first learning to play- I'd be so much better than I am now because I would have learned more. This was a very helpful, easy to understand lesson that gets the creativity flowing. Thanks DBG!
Thank you for making this video. I will be re-watching it and playing along for the next couple of weeks!
Great video - it’s so useful to have this kind of skill broken down and articulated so clearly and concisely! This just takes so much of the frustration away, thank you 👍🏻
This is honestly the most helpful video on improvisation that I've ever found on youtube. Thank you so much!
WOOOOOOOW ! without doubt the best lesson on soloing I've seen yet. Darrell thank you so much. Not only an excellent guitar player, but also an amazing teacher. Great channel. Thanks once again.
Slash is so good that he's on a level of his own!
"Beginner

-Darrell Braun (2019)
Shots fired 🔥🔥
i thinking he meant slash like intermediate/advanced, not the guitar player lol
@@cjay216 yes that's exactly what he meant hahahaha the thought was just too funny, I had to comment it lol.
Best lesson I've seen! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!
Simple yet satisfying. Thank you.
I recently discovered this while learning scales, it was the most inspiring thing for me since I started learning to play. Cant wait to add this backing track along with it!!!!
Great video!!! It's wonderful to see people who know a lot a can teach beginners so well.
Awesome video, Darrell you're videos have inspired me to improve myself
Dude!!! I’ve been searching forever for this! You just opened up so many improv doors for me. As your playing and explaining, I could hear the phrasing in my head. Thank you so much.
Love the improv lesson. Go go.
Perfect, this is where music comes from.
Thanks Darrell.
Been looking for this help for sometime now but did not know what to ask or look for Big thanks . Bit of boot licking now . I always find your videos entertaining and on my thinking level please don't stop. Your guitar playing is fantastic .
Geoff
Clearly explained with great examples and zero intimidation. You, Mr. Darrell, are awesome 👍
This is THE best lesson I've gotten and exactly what I've been looking for to start understanding pentatonic scales and how to use them and be able to transition into playing what I feel and hear in my head rather than just what others have already created, thanks DBG!!! Keep up the good work!
This is a great video. It explains in thirteen minutes when I spent months (years, arguably) learning on my own. The phrasing section in particular with its emphasis on root notes is really important. Great work! I'm sure your students appreciated it.
So much great info in this. Thanks so much for making it!
Best lesson on you tube, my playing has just improved another level, many thanks.
Great lesson!!! Thanks for breaking it down.
Love the channel Darrell. Always interesting and informative. Big thumbs up! Thanks for the great content.
Thank you Darrell, this was amazing :)
Man, I'm about a month into my improvisation journey, and I really wish I watched this video sooner. I was neglecting basic concepts, and this will surely help me moving forward! Instantly subscribed, thanks so much Darrell!
Bro you explained it to me so clearly and slowly without ripping it up and not knowing what the hell you just did like a lot of them do. You gave me a better understanding how to improvise. Thanks so much!
You are very inspiring, Darrell, I always enjoy watching/listening to you play. I long to be able to play like this. I am an absolute beginner, still trying to develop my finger calluses. Watching your videos has been part of the incentive for me to begin relearning guitar. I'm in my 56th year, and have not touched a guitar since primary school. I just want to thank you for your inspiration and encouragement.
It’s always very entertaining and highly educative watching your videos. I can relate to a lot of the moments you talk about in the video. Thank you so much for putting out these videos.
simply phenomenal presentation and explanation. many thanks
Thanks Darrell! Your explanation of this is awesome!
Those concepts of starting a new phrase after a jump and the function of the root note were so helpful... Thanks Darryl!
Only a few minutes and already almost 150 views. Way to go, Darrell!
Very cool lesson. Please keep posting these kind of videos. Thanks Bro!
This lesson has come at such a great time. My friend and I started to get together and he started teaching me. I knew the A minor pentatonic but I had no idea what you even do with it. So I always practiced it for no reason. Until he's like yeah, you can do anything within it. I was shocked. Now I see this. Thank you!
What an excellent guitar lesson on improvisation...wish I had this 30 years ago! Great teaching style Darrell, and you covered all the bases here to get a novice improvising in good order..well done!
Awesome lesson, made a light bulb go off in my head on understanding. Love how it builds and builds on itself making learning a step by step progression, each adding to what you first learned...
Excellent lesson, thanks Darrell 🤘
Beautiful lesson.
Thank you!
❤️❤️
This video changed my life! Watched it nine months ago and I can’t believe how helpful it has been.
Great lesson! Thank you so much for these videos
This was a wonderful lesson.... Thanks Darrell 👍👌👌
the best video ever about improvise!!! Thank you
Really helpful information and something that I'll be trying straight away. Thanks so much!
Not only he is a skillful guitarist, but also is he a good teacher. I learned good things today.
Thank you, Darrell.
Thank you so much Darrell, this is the best tutorial ever regarding solos and how to use the scales.
Thanks for the lesson Darrell!
I've been watching a lot of beginner guitar solo videos and this is by far one of the best. I wish I learned this years ago. So helpful. Thank you!!
Hey Darrel! I saw someone else do this scale and I have been practicing it the last couple days. You just showed me how to use it in a friendly way that allows me to play around more and have fun! Thanks!
Thanks for making this video!! Ive been trying to learn improvisation for a while, and I've never been good at it. I'll definitely be sitting down with my guitar for hours going over these techniques!
Over the past months I've watched countless videos about scales, soloing and improvising. This is by far the easiest to understand and replicate. Thanks Darrel
This has been one of the most comprehensive and easy to understand intros to solos! Thank you for demystifying this next stage of my musical journey :)
Man thanks so much. I have been struggling alot to understand what lies behind improvisation till you came and made it this clear. Thank you. Good job.
Great lesson again very encouraging to learn more
Many thanks for the video. Very helpful and much needed. Thanks.
I wished I had such a great lesson on improvisation when I started playin guitar 40 years ago. Simply perfect!
Sir Darell,thanks a lot for the improvised lessons,it helps me a lot,more lessons to come..😁👌🏻
Love it! Thank you DARRELL 🎸👍🎸
Thanks again Darrell awesome as always
That is the lesson I have been looking for for the last few months!
Great use of the scale…one of the best I’ve seen!👍
Great lesson Darrell!! Looking forward to more lessons in the future!!!
This is THE lesson I needed! thanks!
This is by far the single best guitar lesson I have seen on CZcams. (Unless you call all of justinguitar 1 lesson) thank you for how you explained all of that and thank you for giving it to the world for free. 👌🏻
Oh my god! This is so freakin' clear, and inspirational! Can't wait to try it
Excellent lesson Darrell! Loved it! I feel the light bulbs starting in my head. Great set of ideas!!
Man! I would say I'm an intermediate guitar player, and that tip for the phrases of start and finish in the root note blew my mind! I will definitely use it more often! Like always, you never disappoint me Darrel, thanks;)
Wow what an incredible lesson. Video quality top notch too. This guy is an incredible teacher
Totally appreciate you sharing your knowledge... it helps more than you’ll ever know.
Improvisation is one of the best ways to meet new musicians and make new bonds with them, this was really helpful!!
