Do my eyes and ears deceive me? A guitar teacher who doesn't blaze through the scale and make every one who is trying to learn feel like it is impossible. Someone who remembers what it is like when you're just starting to expand on your playing? WOW! This is why Darrell is the most relatable guitar instructor online. Kevin O'Rourke

It's nice because he isn't just trying to show off. He is able to teach at the level of the person watching which is very helpful.

Totally agree! I sat in last 3 weeks in front of my teacher. He's keep sayin I don't have the grab. He's playing backtracks and tell: doi it. Sound terrible. Just scaling, no rythm ,no feeling. Then, he just take guitar and nail the thing. "Wow, nice!". Then, I sat that video on thursday. Today I take the guitar and put it on practice and I feel really nice doing... Nothing lol. But it starts to seem that I going somewhere. I'd have fun for 40 minutes just repeating over and over the back track. In fact, I moved to 4 shapes in Am scale, all bc felt confident. Really the best video on YT for the just beginnera.

4:15 you can visibly see you struggling to stop yourself from absolutely shredding haha

Hopefully this lesson will help you guys get your jam on! Enjoy :)

Great lesson ! Your tips on phrasing definitely helped. I know the scales but when I played them over a backing track alot of the time they just sounded like random notes and didn't sound musical . Please continue this series and go more in depth. Thanks Darrell !

Darrell Braun Guitar This is masterful teaching. I’ve been playing on my own for 10 years but never learned scales or how to improvise. Everywhere I tried, it just didn’t click. So intimidating. This made things EASY! Thank you so much! Keep the series going PLEASE!

That's probably one of the most useful lessons I've seen on KZread yet!

On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd have to rate this one as at least a 12.

Dont give up man, the lightbulb moments will come!

Many accomplished players who are also guitar teachers seem to forget what it's really like for learners. It's rare when a terrific guitar player like this can also teach well.

Improvising is one of the most important and fundamental ideas of wanting to be a musician in any genre or style! Great work and lesson here man!

It often strikes me how much more skilled Darrell is at teaching these things than most, if not all the rest. MasterCraft. He seems to remember how one might think in all different phases of learning, and can communicate that - but also bring sollutions or tips to get ahead and onwards. Great guy.

Darrell, i am 68 years old and a very 'ordinary' guitar player. Spent too much time flitting around and looking for the magic buttons and tricks, as a result I never disciplined my self. This video is easily the best explanation of improvisation on a scale I have ever seen. You make it look so simple and 'obvious', as it always is when someone who knows what they are doing explains it to you. As crazy as this sounds at 68 I am going back to basics so that i can double with my 16 year old grandson who can play me under the table. Thank you.

Really! Who can find anything wrong with that lesson? Maybe it is someone who doesn't want others to advance in skills. I've been playing for about 5 years and I found this technique to be very insightful. I hope Darrell provides more of these. Thank you for calling the negative person or bot out!

I think they have a reason They didn’t want other bad guitar teacher in their recommended

I am really new to guitar, on day 3 or 4 now. I am at the point where I can do the A minor pentatonic scale fairly clearly at a slow rate. Seeing stuff like this gets me pumped to practice more so I can get to this level and just jam out a bit and make something that sounds nice. Thanks for the video!

Darrel, this is a brilliant way to teach solo improvising! I wish someone had taught me this way. Luckily I eventually figured it all out on my own but wow this would’ve helped a lot.

Darrell does a great job of using simplicity to show how to slowly build up to a solo. Certainly helped me to clearly see how to use a scale and chords to create a solo which can be built upon on step at a time. Great job!

Darrell mate you’ve opened a door I didn’t know I had a key to. tHANK YOU SO MUCH

I was one of the students you mentioned. I came from studying classical guitar, very little in the way of improvisation, so when I transitioned to blues and jazz, it was like wading into an ocean without knowing how to swim. Small steps is 100% the way to go. I love the way you broke it down like that.

Nobody has ever taught me improvisation as simple as that! I always found myself in a rut not knowing what to add or how to add more flavor. I especially found the "repeating notes" technique helpful. So thank you very much for this new perspective :)

Great lesson and foremost, an Excellent teaching style. Blows almost every other 'guitar teacher' on youtube out of the water (including the vaunted Paul Davids). You name the pitches by note letter instead of a verbalized TAB. First rate break down of the process including the 'map to the destination' of improvisation. Wish I would have had this type of lesson 20 years ago - I'd be a much more advanced player today.

This is a Teacher, you born to this man i learned so many things from you, big big hug.

This has been one of the most comprehensive and easy to understand intros to solos! Thank you for demystifying this next stage of my musical journey :)

Excellent, Darrell! Not just the mechanics of the scale, but the importance of listening to what the result is of various finger placements - and then correcting that result if you don't like it. The object is that it SOUND right.

I love you man. I’m paying guitar lessons and my teacher never taught me that and I thought I just wasn’t creative enough.

Great class! Darrell, here in Brazil, today (15/10) is Teacher's Day! So, congratulations!

I wish you would do more videos like this you are such a instructor.

Bro you explained it to me so clearly and slowly without ripping it up and not knowing what the hell you just did like a lot of them do. You gave me a better understanding how to improvise. Thanks so much!

Thank you for this video Darrel! For a beginner like me this is like the cherry on top of the cake. It just unblocked certain windows locks. Once the windows are open i already can have access to others. Perfect!!!

Thanks Darrell! Your explanation of this is awesome!

After two months since picking up a guitar, I actually get. Great lesson.

Best lesson I've seen! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

REALLY wish I knew Darrell when I was first learning to play- I'd be so much better than I am now because I would have learned more. This was a very helpful, easy to understand lesson that gets the creativity flowing. Thanks DBG!

simply phenomenal presentation and explanation. many thanks

Great lesson!!! Thanks for breaking it down.

This was a very helpful video, thanks! 🤠

Great lesson Darrell!! Looking forward to more lessons in the future!!!

Thank you Darrell, super helpful!

I've watched about 15 videos on improvisation. 13 lost me, and two were excellent. This is one of them. I've been a subscriber for a few weeks now, so I don't know why I wasted so much time before coming here! Thank you very much for the lesson!

Love it! Thank you DARRELL 🎸👍🎸

Darrell, thanks for posting this, so much easier to understand. Thank you!

Great Video and tips. Cheers mate!

Excellent lesson! Thanks.

Awesome lesson, thanks a bunch!!

What a great lesson! thanks mate

I recently discovered this while learning scales, it was the most inspiring thing for me since I started learning to play. Cant wait to add this backing track along with it!!!!

This was a wonderful lesson.... Thanks Darrell 👍👌👌

Many thanks for the video. Very helpful and much needed. Thanks.

Great video - it’s so useful to have this kind of skill broken down and articulated so clearly and concisely! This just takes so much of the frustration away, thank you 👍🏻

Awesome lesson, made a light bulb go off in my head on understanding. Love how it builds and builds on itself making learning a step by step progression, each adding to what you first learned...

Love the improv lesson. Go go. Perfect, this is where music comes from. Thanks Darrell.

Thank you for making this video. I will be re-watching it and playing along for the next couple of weeks!

Great lesson man, thanks!!

Very nice! I missed your tutorial videos sir. You've contributed a lot to my guitar playing and I thank you for that! Keep up the good work, and you help a lot of young guitarist out there!

Only a few minutes and already almost 150 views. Way to go, Darrell!

This is so good Darrell. Thank you!

It sure did! I was jamming along the whole time picking up a little different groove than I have been playing lately. Thanks!

Excellent lesson. Thanks alot for this.

Thank you Darrell, this was amazing :)

I wished I had such a great lesson on improvisation when I started playin guitar 40 years ago. Simply perfect!

Such a useful lesson by a great instructor. Thank you!

thanks Darrell..you are such a great teacher..

the best video ever about improvise!!! Thank you

Thank you so much. I hated practicing the few scales I learned because it sounded boring. After watching this video, I spent a whole hour playing along with the backing track. Very simple but effective tips to start feeling what a solo should be like 🥰

Thank you for this great lesson.

Thanks a lot darrell for your support, I need one of these tips and im definitely satisfied.... 👌👍👏

Very useful lesson. Thank you!

Thanks for making this video!! Ive been trying to learn improvisation for a while, and I've never been good at it. I'll definitely be sitting down with my guitar for hours going over these techniques!

Dude!!! I’ve been searching forever for this! You just opened up so many improv doors for me. As your playing and explaining, I could hear the phrasing in my head. Thank you so much.

Great lesson. Thanks.
