  • If you are stuck playing scales up & down believing it will eventually allow you to play fast, then you NEED to watch this. Tabs:

    No joke, you just showed me in one video what I have been missing after watching countless others! I was missing what I now feel should have been obvious. Great video Kris, thank you. You have given me a plan and goal.

    This is excellent. You've helped me see just how far away I am in terms of any speed.

    Thenk you Kris! As a fusion player of 40 years (I'm 57) I started out studying jazz modes, chords and theory, but I also tried to build up my speed with the Troy Stetina Heavy Metal Lead Guitar method, which was great at the time, but it mostly helped with visualizing the note positions and picking pattern while not being very helpful on how to control tension and excessive right hand movement. I think this video will help with that. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

      I hope so, finger crossed! Keep me updated on your progress, and thanks a million! 👊❤️

    Great video, thank you!! I’m fairly new to guitar and I’m an older learner (48). I am transitioning from beginner to intermediate and this video hit at exactly the right time for me. Speed is an issue now and this will help me a ton!! Thanks again, definitely got a new sub.

    Great advice. i'm embarrassed to say I've been doing exactly what you say I shouldn't be - practicing scales to a metronome and trying to build up slowly. Will take your advice to start of in small, manageable chunks.

    Your talking about creating a Eurythmia
    Gary Moore was good at that
    For Sequencing Speed kills 3 MAB
    If you try to play one of the Hannon piano exercises on guitar you will find yourself using alternate economy and legato hammers and pulls to get through different positions
    I used to try to do all alternate but alternate is just a way to decide what direction to go

    Excellent advice..it took me many years to figure some of this out ..if I had only seen this video years ago it would have saved me a lot of time!! .. Having said that...beware of another trap ...playing mechanically without feeling and knowing each note ...playing fast is cool but thinking musically is more important....so it's best to learn speed and musicality in parallel...if you get too fast mechanically... syncing up your musical thinking and growth may become frustrating...matter what you practice or how much you practice your mind must be connected...with musical phrases you are speaking...if it's mechanical ..and all you are saying is..see how fast I can play...well ..so what? Great musicians did not express speed they expressed ideas and emotion... Those are the things that need to drive ones playing...

    Youve said exactly where i am now after 3 to 4 weeks practicing guitar..
    i can open chords , and know bar chords and caged but cannot use them right in solo or music and switch between them good.
    but the scales u know some but thats it, and i seen alot triads videos but i know them but could not use them at all in anything i make myself to sound good.. except hit those 3 strings and then 3 others but thats not music that is just sound😅
    thank you for this explanation

    • @KristoferDahl
      @KristoferDahl  Před měsícem

      Yes mate, if you are new to soloing you need many example licks, patterns and phrases 👌 you might want to check out my Intermediate Lead course 👊

    • @dabiededoo
      @dabiededoo Před měsícem

      thanks i will look into that..
      i find out that the fast picking works (only the 6th string is some troublesome) but my left hand now is the problem to keep the tempo or is this some problem everyone has ​@@KristoferDahl

    • @KristoferDahl
      @KristoferDahl  Před měsícem

      Yes, slow left hand is a common issue which causes bad hand sync!

    One thing is interchange
    On stairway it is an Andalusian
    Cadence Ami G F
    On A and G it is A Dorian ( E minor) F is in A minor
    The way Page approaches it is A minor Blues on Ami G
    D min Blues on F
    The interchange is with pentatonic scales
    On a 12 bar Blues the IV chord it treated as a V7 dominant the V7 chord is treated as a IV subdominant
    You hear Hendrix and Johnny Winter do it all the time
    As well as the stones and skynard
    Subdominant is suspended the country sound
    Dominant is the Blues sound
    If you sub the major scale on a V7 you can run W 1/2 diminished as the diminished ladder and get both major and minor blues scales that way
    Leslie West did that on Mississippi Queen
    Major blues on E
    A dominant on A ( E min blues up a 4th )

    i'm guilty of running modal scales and parrallel keys endlessly trying to memorize the fretboard, and i'm hurting myself because much of the time i'm holding these big boxes and running over notes with no mind to what note i'm playin at any givin moment

    • @KristoferDahl
      @KristoferDahl  Před měsícem

      I think we have all been guilty of that 😅👊

    Nice Bro!! If you don't fix it try legato ,turn up the volume ,play some legato,,fake it to at bit, then you are a Malmsteen....

    Why did you use legato in the 2nd part of the sequence before changing to the b-string? The 2nd part of your video felt rushed.
