What amps/effects are you using in the Cocaine solo demo video?
Are you using an emulator/playing into a computer?
Thanks!!
I was going direct into a mixing board using a Line 6 Pod Pro. I believe the patch I used was just overdrive, delay and reverb.
I am interested in coming up with some tunes in the e minor pentatonic scale. What chords can I play with this scale? Any popular songs that combine this scale with chords as an illustration?
E minor pentatonic can be played over anything that revolves around an E minor chord. Song examples would include “Horse with No Name” by America, “Paranoid” by Black Sabbath and “Running Down a Dream” by Tom Petty. It can also be played over blues based songs that revolve around E major or E7. Examples would be “Purple Haze” by Jimi Hendrix, “Hey Joe” by Jimi Hendrix and “Back in Black” by AC/DC.
To learn more about using the pentatonic scale and what goes together with an E minor chord, sign up for a free preview of my guitar theory book and DVD.
Is the 33% off summer offer still good? Also, you mention the major and minor pentatonic scales as being by far the most important scales. i have been getting more and more into the Allman Bros, especially the songs written by Dickie Betts.
I have read alot about them being highly influenced by the mixolydian scale. Will I find alot of benefit in your course that will apply to their style also. My main interests are Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, Molly Hatchet, Triumph and Allmans.

A real eye opener for me. I fought the idea of just learning other people’s licks and songs i thought i could just wing it.
Thanks again for another great Video.

This might be your first posting in 2018 but anyway although I have only reached chapter 3 ( volume 1) of your excellent Fretboard Theory books I am finding your tutorials very inspirational, in particular your recent “How to Guitar Solo” video that you very kindly posted to me recently. THANK YOU! Keep up the good work.
Best Wishes & Happy New Year!
WOW!
I am at the “I’m sick of scales stage”, but not linking it all together.
Hopefully with your guide I can move on.
Thanks, Peter. I’m glad the instruction is working for you. Let me know if you need any help.
Great video Lots of good information.
Thanks
