    I'm mainly a rock-metal player who's lately trying to approach to rockabilly and jazz. I find your channel very interesting and stimulating. This is a huge lesson, in 25 minutes lots of material and quite advanced improvisation concepts involved, still very efficient and clear explanation. I wonder how can anyone dislike this.. Congratulations! Great playing as well!

    I must admit I watched this a long while back and sort of glossed over it. Then kept wondering why my pentatonic scale over the 7th progressions sounded so lackluster. Came across this video again and it was like someone turned on a light. It now makes complete sense. Thanks so much for this and your many other videos. Greatly appreciated!!
  • @johnnydeeme
    I wonder if anybody realizes that this is the 'COMPLETE' guitar lesson. If I had not played guitar for 30 years, I would not know, but trust me guys, he is literally telling you the approach for the major scale arpeggios..!! thanks I need to know your name... so grateful!

    I'm working on my blues soloing over the basic 12 bar blues and I really liked your video. It does a really good job of associating the chords with the triad notes in the chords and also emphasizes the basic concept of using just the notes of the triad arpeggios for soloing. Linking those three things is really important IMHO.

    This is is! This is the video I was looking for and didnt know it! I’ve been practicing my major, minor and pentatonic scales & caged system like a boss, but wondered how to take my playing to the next level! Arpeggios for the win! Thank you!!!!

    Hi Adrian - I've watched a fair few YT vids on dominant 7th arpeggios of late and your one, for me, leads the pack by a good margin. Covering a lot of territory with the various positions up and down the neck, plus that tasty, easy to follow, little solo. All up extremely useful. Many thanks, once again.
  • @stuartmortimer2142
    Great video mate, thank you. I'm just getting started with arpeggios after being stuck running pentatonic patterns only for months. This has given me both a framework for practice i.e how to map a 1-4-5 progression in both directions from the e string root also some good ideas for improvising. Bending the flat 7 and toggling the major/ minor 3rd. I'll make a start! Thanks again.
  • @druwk
    You are a very thoughtful person, and an easy teacher to listened to. Love how you breakdown different concepts and songs. Cheers!
  • @robertbond9666
    Thank you for a most useful and comprehensive lesson, well explained. I look forward to grasping and using these great ideas.
  • @lees7836
    Thanks as always Adrian. So informative and nicely explained. As some others have already said, love your demeanour.
  • @edwinmalang2748
    I love this lesson. Thank you so much for sharing this to us. I’m just starting with this kind of lesson.
  • @chrishowitt9654
    Great video, something I'm definitely going to get started with very soon. I love your slow, thoughtful teaching style.
  • I've been playing guitar for a long time and seen many teaching videos and just want to say that you are an excellent teacher bro!! 👍😎
  • @TeleCS
    Adrian thank you so much for your variety of videos and your clear detailed explanations of your interpretations. Cheers mate from Australia. Stay Safe.
  • @MustafaBaabad
    Your statement is very sharp and directly to the objective of making music. It makes me realize that arpegio which reflects the chord progression will be much more useful in generating music than learning any scales. Thanks for reminding me that. Otherwise, I can spend years and years of training without being able to make one single song. Actually I take my note book and sketch whatever chords and notes on your video. I believe that to digest your useful lesson will take me more than a month if I do it regularly. Cheers from Indonesia.

    Beautifully played and wonderfully taught. I could listen to you play and speak all day . Thanks for this .
  • @ChristianLemon
    Really good lesson. I’ve been trying to learn to solo better and this was really a breakthrough maker me. Took about a week to really get comfortable with the arpeggios, but jammin since. Gonna try some other arpeggios
  • @iannicholls7476
    Very interesting. That is fundamental stuff. Thanks for the heads up Adrian.
