what a great teacher, but I’m guessing he already knows that.

@12yod12 Dude if Justin isn’t clear enough for you then just give up now.

Justin.. awesome job with these lessons!!
One question with respect to these licks. I am a complete novice blues lead player. I’m wondering, you mentioned somewhere in here that we should be relatively proficient with our pentatonic scale with our pentatonic scales before starting to use these licks. How proficient should we be? I’m up to 2 notes per tick with 130 ticks per minute on the metronome.. do you have a benchmark for this?? Thanks in advance!!

You’ve definitely got a pattern in all your videos – you jump around too much. We’re following a lick, scale, etc. and then you decide to randomly go off track, talk about other things and it’s too hard to follow.

@PainlessTragedy easy to play, hard to feel.

Justin, thanks so much for these lessons. You’re an awesome teacher man!

@ex0ja I wouldn’t really invest in a straight-up overdrive pedal until you get yourself a real nice amp, because until that point it really wont make enough of a difference to warrant buying another pedal.
June 13th, 2010 at 8:55 pm
I have one of the cheaper marshall amps, it has overdrive and some effects on it. Would it benefit me to invest in an overdrive pedal? Would I notice much difference? (sorry to get off topic, but I am talking in reference to blues lead with distortion)

I’m pretty partial to an overdriven tube amp, but if you aren’t in a position where you can crank ‘er to 11, then an overdrive pedal always gets the job done.

Great lesson.

@ex0ja
i guess a lttle overdrive to mak it crunchy…or more gain..

killer video I just need to slow it down, I know the progressions amazing tip. I’m more focused on changing scales I forget about how easy the blues is to play. It’s not always about shreding, Leave that to the Metal Players.

WOW. You make things so simple! I feel as if I’m cheating…

hey guys if anyone with small hands like me is having trouble starting out on this scale (like i did) try just moving it up to the e minor pentatonic, same position, just everything scooted up seven frets. i think its easier to play with because the frets are closer together and the strings are easier to bend. then move back down to A when you’re ready

bro, why don’t you talk some more
June 14th, 2010 at 1:01 am
You can do both, whatever you like/fits the song best. However I think if you’ve got a tube amp, your clean will get a natural distortion at higher volumes. But I’m not sure about that because I don’t have a tube amp but I experience the same thing.
Anyway the point is: doesn’t really matter, as long as you’re playing the blues

What settings should my amp be on for blues lead? Clean, or a little bit of distortion?

nyc2x,,, i like it too
June 14th, 2010 at 2:19 am
@BEYONDILIMIT Good ? BL Yes and…. If you’re playing over a 1/4/5 12 bar backing track in say the key of A, A=1 D=4 E=5. The pent. scale is 1 3b 4 5 7b (A C D E G) So when the song is on 1 accent the A on 4 accent the D etc. Hope this helps.
