Very good. Great way to get a basework for lead guitar. Later it’d be good to practice full scales with all the notes when the subtle nuances come. Great video.

I think it’s a Gibson, not an epiphone. Epiphone are “beginner” guitars from Gibson, just cheaper. If you can play as well as this guy you’ll probably get a Gibson. ( not when you have a smaller budget )

Learn all 5, then put them into Diatonic Scales. They fit right over, so learn these 5, then learn the 7 diatonic scales over them. Makes it a bit easier when memorizing stuff.

@thisisfunNOT learn some more scales… i like soloing w the harmonic minor cz it has like a middle eastern tone and its really cool for metal…listen to death’s crystal mountain..he utilizes it superbly, very greatly in that song

I think that the best thing you can do is try to learn some other scales and get used to them, then you’ll play them naturally when improvising. I improvise with a very middle eastern or egyptian feel.

It’s definitely an easy trap to fall into and as has been said before, there will always be a blues influence in rock music and you’ll hear it especially when using pentatonic scales. Using excessively wide or exaggerated vibratos, pinch harmonics and incorporating longer runs and patterns into your solos (avoiding so many bluesy bends, as someone said before) I think are good starting points to start to move away from the blues sound. Hope this is helpful. Keep practicing!

Drop that b5 note from the blues scales u are playing – 1, b3 , 4, b5 , 5 , b7 and you will get the rock pentatonic minor scale – 1 , b3 , 4, 5 , b7 !
And stop bending your strings.

virtually all rock is based on blues. keep playing like a blues man and along the way, when you start playing with bands and the such, it will sound right and your ears will guide you. but dont worry about nailing just rock solos… if you can play the blues wellm, then good for you.
