Pete - I recently picked up the guitar again after a 10-year hiatus. I just found your lessons and have to say... for me, the BEST on YT. A good lesson is not only interesting & helpful, it's inspiring. You have my deepest & sincerest gratitude.
+Curt Stratton Thanks so much Curt! I'll do more soon!
Dude, you're the very best teacher I've ever had! Every awesome thing I learned from you, mainly "Eruption"! I'm a huge fan of yours! Thanks and, please, keep it on!
Why would anyone not like Petes lesson,this is great info and so very nice of him to even share..Some people are just haters for no reason..Thank you Pete..
Ah, these humble beginnings. Nice work, Pete!
Hey Pete! I've played and bent the minor 3rd into the major 3rd back to the root for a long time but I never understood doing the Dorian thing with the flat 5th until you brought it into context of they are just fast passing tones even Eddy did! God bless you and thank you!
This is going to take my playing teaching and songwriting to a whole
another level!
Love Eddie, love Pete. I know these are 4 years old, but these are really fun. I wish you'd do a new series of these! Regardless, thanks for all of your videos. :-D
That tone is phenomenal
Pete, I don’t know you personally but you seem like one cool, down to earth dude, that incidentally is one hell of a guitar player. Thank you for all the great videos.
I love that color-loaded riff style... I would normally slow it way down and play hard on the color-to-tonic resolution... Mostly a rhythm player, I stick in a color tone here and there as a way to emphasize a synchopation. Pete, your speed and fluidity are beyond me but I am happy I stopped by and copped a couple ideas for my own songs! Thanks... definitely 5 minutes well spent.
Pete I love these lessons man!
Great lesson. Your putting just the right kind of info out there Pete...nice one...Keep it burnin'!
Great lessons, Pete. Thank you for taking the time to share your talent.
It seems common for EVH licks to use the same pattern on every string without regard for what's in- or out-of-key. I'd imagine that he might have come up with licks like that at random, then discerned which ones "worked" (well enough) by ear (like this one) instead of thinking too hard about scales and inside/outside notes on purpose.
That tone sounds so good
The pentatonic and the mixolydian often sounding pretty sweet together.
As great as a guitar player you are, that also gives great lessons. What's even better is that you are a regular, but great, guy as well. Thanks for being you and doing it your way! Much appreciated!
This was a great mini lesson with huge potential
GREAT lessons! I'm already waiting for number 3!
Pete. I want to thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge and being a great down to earth guy. Much respect for your talent and tone. Tasty stuff .
Pete, you taught me something new today!
Fantastic lesson from a gifted player!!
Another useful thing to add about the Dorian mode: If you center a normal major scale around the 2nd scale degree, that's the Dorian mode for that key. Example: If you center a G major scale around A, then it's essentially A Dorian.
59 LP R9, into JHS Klon replica, into Suhr SL68, into Faustine attenuator set for load, line out to MXR 10 band eq, into Strymon Blue Sky verb, into Matrix GT1000 power amp... into Weber Legacy speaker. Whew! Just messing around... sounds good, so I've been using this rig at home lately
Awesome Pete. Really appreciate this.
Hey Pete,
Love your Lessons.
Thank you!!!
I'm a big fan of using "Dorian Pentatonic", essentially just remove the 4th and 7th (in this case D and G) from Dorian. It's layout is more like an arpeggio rather than a scale. Try descending down a Cmaj7#5 from A (high string), which is borrowed from A Melodic Minor and back up to A via the Dorian Pentatonic. Silky smooth.
ah ah it's symple.He's a monster.professional.Wow it's incredible Pete-great player
Nice one Pete, some food for thought here. Thanks dude
a true master at your craft thank you sir... unison bends and dubble stops.. i have always loved.. i have always crep up the neck from the first fret to as far as need to go 1/3/2/4 grab two strings and creep up i always loved the a&d for box 3 through 7 can lead you in a million different sounds.. i realize it is very intermediate but i find all kinds of stuff playing around with simple things..
thanks again..
Catching up with your videos! Love your lessons. Peace
Great!,
Your presentation is fantastic, as is your knowledge and playing.
Thank You.
You're completely right, though it's awesome to see someone breaking it down and telling us why does it work even tough it features some really outside notes. I've been doing it for a long time, and it's nice figuring out why, from theory obviously. Cheers!
Another cool lesson! Thanks!
yup, for sure it's common in some styles- and for sure in some minor tunes, implying harmonic minor (say "Hotel California" for instance) but not really in blues based stuff, which "I'm The One" is. I can't think of another example of a boogie blues tune that has it... the riff in "i'm the One" bounces between the b7 and the root, which makes it even more "out"
love that lick!
that's great. Great way to explain this riff.
Thank you Pete!
Cool video; well presented & inspiring!
Best CZcams channel :) thanks for sharing Pete
Great lesson!
this is really great, thank you!!!
THANK YOU, great teaching!
Thanks Pete!!!
Alway nice to fall down the stairs and land on your feet ,I usually land on my head.Thanks for sharing :-)
Thank You for this lesson.
Great video, Pete! Thanks for putting it together. However, can I make one suggestion? It would be great if you could do close-ups of the fretboard when you're explaining scale ideas, such as in this video - it would really add to the usefulness of the lesson. Thanks again!
Welp, that's a lick I'll have to get under my fingers. Thanks for the great lesson. Very informative and clear!
Cool lesson, Pete! The "extra" lick you demonstrate about "I'm the one" from EVH is kinda similar when ending "Jump" solo and maybe others. Easy fingering...
Great stuff... Thanks...!
Really a clear, interesting lesson. Super useful. Thanks for sharing!
thanks man!
Good one Pete
Nice, very helpful!
Really great lesson!
I love your Suhr guitars, now I have a standard HSS strat and I`m thinking about changing the pickups. I've never tried the suhr mics in person but I really like the sound of the Aldrich humbucker to put on the bridge and the ML on the neck. But I also really like the SSH + on the bridge. I play blues rock to heavy rock! Please give me a hand with this! And thanks for the great teaching.
Thought these were going to be a weekly thing? Sure hope you do more...love you playing style and would love to learn more of it!!! Peace ;-)
Great lesson Pete, very informative; )
I had one of my guitar instructors explain it the same way!!!! I've taken some flack for using it but every time I've cut a track using this type of hybrid scale the same people that hated it gave nothing but compliments on how fresh it sounded???? go figure.Great video as always Pete.
nice lesson, thanks.
Agreed. I try to write from both angles myself [both "what works on guitar" and "what might theory help me invent"?], both with marginal success.
Thanks pete!!!!!
you should do more of these
nice ... can't wait for "three"
Another great lesson!!! THANKS!!! Didn't Dimebag Darrel use similar "shapes" as well containing notes outside the key but playing the same shape on each string?.....and of course at a blistering speed!
Another great video. Any chance you can do a five minute lesson regarding the patterns you use in your single not playing and whether the notes are all picked or legato or a combination? Thanks in advance.
also if you dont mind me asking what r u running for your tone ???
"Falling down the stairs but landing on your feet." What an excellent metaphor!
super good lesson do you know when number 3 will be up :)
Your using the same catch phrases than EVH! "Falling dow the stairs and landing on your feet"; "Doesnt matter, as long as you end at the right place, you're good". Lol! Verbatim what he says in interviews!
a cool lesson :)
Wow. I think this last point you made about the EVH lick that, "as long as you start in the right place and end in the right place ... whatever comes in the middle is cool", is really interesting. It opens up a world of interesting things to play.
This is an area that the Jazz musicians have explored widely. Take John Coltrane for instance, my understanding is that in some of his fast runs ("sheets of sound") he would visit all sorts of arpeggios and scales that were not strictly inside the chords of the piece being played. But because they had harmonic flow within themselves and led back to notes inside the correct scale, it would sound good.
The notes in the middle have an angular, aggressive, energetic vibe about them as they clash with the chords behind. But because you bring it back to notes inside the key of the piece, it doesn't sound like you messed up :)
Taking this further, what about completely chromatic patterns in the middle?
@Dalcon83 Ey Pete, we need more lessons!!
I always wondered if EVH ever payed attention to scale/mode theory or played whatever was convenient but resolved correctly. That approach seemed to give him his signature style that literally no one else has. His licks always seem to reflect such a chaotic/random sequence that never seem to have a diatonic quality. Any comments?
Very informative
Lovin it man! I am trying to incorporate "outside" sounds into my playing. Any chance you could do a lesson on moving from the A pentatonic to Bb or even Ab pentatonic (and then back to A.. haha.)? That is something I'd really like to learn more about. Thanks.
Thank you for all your great videos Pete! Always great stuff!
Hope I can play half as good as you someday...
Do you have any advice for how to learn music theory? I have tried several times to get into it, but I never know where to start, and get frustrated pretty quick. Do you have any advice or books or anything that you have found helpful? Thanks again for always being awesome!
Number ONE! \m/
i was wondering what webcam/camcorder and microphone u were using in your newer videos. it is a great one. it is clear and the microphone is great too. mine sucks, so i was wanting one like yours.
Don't take this as a flame, but all this comment shows is the value you put in a highly skilled practitioner...of music. You'd be ecstatic if your lawyer 2 years out of law school only charged you $125 for 50 mins of their time, yet Pete offers a one on one interaction backed by years of credible performance as well as his own exhaustive learning and its expensive?? Personally I think that's cheap for what is being offered.
Ok, got it , no problem !
I love these lessons. Keep 'em comin'. You rock.
nice :-) greetings
Hi Pete, you're my favorite guitar player!
The sound what you get in your studio is fantastic!
I'm buying the Custom Audio PT 50 because I am big a fan! :)
I will use in Homestudio.
Do you use any Attenuator, or is it possible to get a good sound with low volumes?
Thanks!
Strymon Bue Sky
can you go over that ace lick you do on 3:08 its like your trade mark! but it would help my playing sounds like hammer offs notice you did it in a TC video
Very inspiring video. Are you running straight into the Suhr? It sounds so thick and fat and SWEET!
It was Joe Meek who was famous for "If it sounds good it is right".
Very educational and helpful but I tend not to think to much when playing and letting go...that is I am trying to...the simpler the better, imho.
Pete, what kind of pickups in the 59?
This is like basic jazz thinking too... start on the right note, bunch of random notes in the middle, end on the root or whatever
What kind of reverb are you using?
how do you become that fast?
Check out some of the the Great lessons on youtube for free then, Listen to yours without watching it and see if you can hear it without MUTING IT!
nice to see you are keeping it simple xD jaja
You've obviously never fallen down stairs.. 👍🏽
Jokes
you look like dave ellefson!
Las reglas fueron hechas para romperse. Si les gusta como suena así no sea lo "legal", sigan haciéndolo. El truco es equivocarse "bonito".
Et
Pinky helps please
A flat... I call it G#-1 octave. Jeez, do you EVEN know intervals?
- "pretentious snob who doesn't know music at all" of the forums teaching Pete Thorn about notes
;) jk. You are the master, the maestro, the virtuoso.
$125.00 for 50 Minutes. These free CZcams lessons are great but who wants to pay that???
Dude, I have a bass guitar that is IDENTICAL. Disturbing... Also, the note Ab in Am isn't the major seventh, it is the flattened 8th, or flattened root. The major seventh is G#. I know it is essentially the same SOUND, but they are not in any way the same NOTE. I'm kicking myself for bitching on a Pete Thorn lesson, but these things lead to greater mistakes down the road
