Here I start with the basics so that no one gets left behind. I show you how to play riffs in minor pentatonic shapes and then I show you how to play major pentatonic riffs. I show you the major pentatonic ideas by using rhythm ideas from Jimi Hendrix so that you can get an idea of how to play major pentatonic riffs, as well as familiarize yourself with the sound of major pentatonic.

You'll learn all sorts of basic patterns to help you on your way. This means learning how to use both of these scales as well as how to start using different inversions of chords within those scales so that you can start playing the correct notes from those scale shapes all over the neck over the chords in your progression.

On this DVD I continue with major pentatonic ideas and using the chord shapes within my scales so that I can learn to hit target notes all over the neck while soloing. This is where you really start sounding "in control" and "more expensive" than you may already sound.

And I also now start applying these major pentatonic ideas over a jam track to start learning how to solo over chord changes. SWEET --- you're going to love how you sound doing this! The first jam track is an R&B track reminiscent of "Sitting On the Dock of the Bay" also influenced by one of Brett's favorite Austin guitar players, Ian Moore.

I start this disc off with a smokey minor blues jam track fit for any biker bar in town. I start exploring in-depth ideas to help add feel to your playing. This is so important and you're going to love the depth this gives your playing. I do this by teaching you different types of bending and vibrato.

You'll also learn:

• How to spice up common blues licks with different techniques such as hybrid picking and adding more modern approach to the blues in the style of Van Halen.
  
  This gives you more options to those riffs as well as showing you some of those "secret notes" you've always heard. Ever hear a killer lick and go, "What in the world did he just play?" Well, you'll know after watching this DVD! And you'll learn it in an easily digestible fashion that anyone could start using right away.
• How to play a "Lay Down Sally" Clapton-style blues tune with a bit of a swing feel. You'll incorporate double stops, 6ths riffs and various other techniques to sharpen up my old school classic rock style licks!
• Learn one of my favorite tracks out of the whole bunch: "Truthful," which has a very classic R&B feel in which I concentrate on hammering those chord tones and target notes as the chords go by. This one is all about learning how to play melodic!

On to the next three original jam tracks! First up is "Yellow Haze" which takes you straight to Hendrix Land where you'll learn to cut loose and just jam. This is perfect for learning those powerful psychedelic rock riffs!

We'll go over pinch harmonics and we'll also learn how to chain all the shapes together to get from the low part of the neck all the way to the higher registers of the guitar. You'll also learn a lot more about how to mix major and minor pentatonic together to get and endless supply of riff ideas!

The next track is "Sweet Clone" where I go back to the style of the Clapton-era blues centered in the style of Cream. (How classic is THAT?) We'll even break out a wah pedal for this one. Note: you can easily do this track without one, but I do this to explore different equipment ideas to show how the same riffs played with a pedal can give your playing a whole new life. It's all about options!

Next is a song called "Duck Walkin'" that can only be described as Chuck Berry meets Eddie Van Halen! You'll learn all sorts of balls-to-the-wall riffs and even throw in a little tapping! Oh, you didn't think you could do that in blues? Well, you can now, haha!

Here I go over another original track called "Think Urban" where you'll learn how to solo in the style of modern country rock. I dive into that melodic, rock-style of blues that's often used in country music today .... it's clearly one of the last exciting guitar-driven forms of music out there right now. I will show you how to be melodic in your note choice and also how to chain the positions together.

Oh and get this .... to round out the series, I'm going over all his equipment in detail because I get asked this all the time. We're talking everything from guitars, amps, and pedals and more. Bret also shows you how to get the various awesome tones for playing all of the types of music covered on these DVDs.

NOTE: These descriptions are only a partial list. You'll dive into other goodies, and I have other cool surprises waiting for on these discs as well. Let's do this!!
