Here’s a great blues turnaround in the key of E in the style of Stevie Ray Vaughan. This is another video from the crew at Trufire.com.
Face it–we love to play in E minor and so does your guitar. With a 22 fret neck there’s E’s abound ranging from the open low E string for raucous riffing all the way up to the screaming whole step bend from D to E on the first string at the neck’s highest fret. This lick ends end with that climatic string stretcher, but not before it scrambles through some single string ascending three-note patterns at blazing speed.

Very good I love your teaching style……..
@Sly6035 look at his fingers, and use your ears.. it’s not that hard 🙂
@scotchiedude Its fantastic that you’re such a good guitarist that you no longer need to learn anything and can spend your time insulting everyone who’s starting out. Good job, asshole.
so thats what obi-wan does in his spare time :0
Bunch of crybabies on the comment section. The lick is pretty straight forward. If it’s tough, play it ten million times til you nail it. Then you can say you have progressed out of that beginner stage, which is clearly where you are at now. If they didn’t invent pause and rewind, you might as well go back to reading comic books for crying out loud. Get a clue, Jack.
@OJMadness Uhh NO
I need help can anyone tell me wtf he is hitting after the bend; ik he hits the high e on the seventh what about after that its about 1:26 1:27 some one plz reply TY!
@x422mno If this is supposed to be a teaser clip for the series, its not helping their cause for people to purchase it. He’s talking at the same time he’s playing & if the rest of the course is like this, that’s just a huge annoyance after a while. I can already play so I’ll just be a “cheapass”, but for people who are trying to learn, there are better options out there. And yes you can manipulate the video to rewind, replay etc, but if you’re trying to play at the same time it’s inconvenient.
@dokokai No, he’s slow but that’s ok. If you’re not a cheapass, you can actually buy the series and have all the tabs and backing tracks and such and different things and so on. If you are a cheapass, this is what you get for free. You know, it IS possible to back up, repeat things, freeze the frame etc. Or maybe you’re thinking he should just come over to your house and feed it to you with a silver spoon. For free of course.
great vid, picked it up quick.

what pattern from the blues/penta scale is the first part of the lick formed? ( excluding the chromatic part )
( In reference to the first part of the lick )
I don’t get it, what blues/pentatonic pattern does this come from? I thought i knew them all and then I see this. I noticed it in Hendrix’s red house the whole, for example in a random key, B string -3,5 , High E string 2, 5.
Where the hell does that come from?
could you go any faster ? i guess i am slow
He looks so familiar …. hmmm.. It’s Dexter !
@hursthousept Now, i know i’m loading you with a bunch of crazy this and thats, but it simplifies playing in the long run.
And not to mention that it’s a good starting point for learning how modes work!
@hursthousept Start ending and beginning with the C note!! Holy crap. you’re playing in major.
This applies to all keys. Now, if you’re playing in the key of C major, where’s A? It’s the 6th note! That’s where it will be. It’s called the RELATIVE MAJOR and RELATIVE MINOR!!! =)
Playing in A minor, you can switch to playing in a major context using the same set of notes, just start targetting C, the 3rd degree note as the root.
Vice versa – to play in minor context, target A – the 6th degree.
@hursthousept So if you know one minor key, you know ALL natural minor keys. Start at that.
Now, here’s another bit of information.
You know C major, i’m sure. C major consists of the same notes as A minor – they’re pretty much the exact same. Why do the both have different feelings? Well, they just start on different notes as well as end on different notes.
Try fiddling in areas you know best with A minor. Then, keep playing in the key of A, but all of the sudden (cont.)
@hursthousept Well, let’s just say if you made a fretboard as long as the sun, all the patterns and positions will repeat just like they do on the standard neck. (:
You know the A minor scale? If not, learn it. Find all the places you can find the natural notes.
Now, if you wanted to play B minor… just shift this entire ‘blueprint’ of the A minor scale up a whole step. Everything you play, every note in the B Minor is just the A minor shifted up a whole step. Now you got a different set.
Tab????
mrmtm11 Great lesson! Also check out Robert Dean’s guitar teaching vids on youtube
