Pick is trying to help you, and you go and bash him? Mr it's you who is doing all the sucking around here...

checked/taken care of

noice, as always :

I liked this one alot, some nice licks and made me lol.

Very interesting lesson, thanks Pick!

Pick you're crazy!

hey pick, i'd just like to say thanks for another great video lesson (this one was pretty entertaining too). I dont usually post after you send your videos, but i am this time just to tell you that i greatly appreciate how you give us this information you probably didn't get so easily yourself back in the day.

keep em up.

Pick is the man! I'm looking forward to that Kris + Pick collaboration.

I LOVE JOO PICK!!/1!


But seriously, you help people a lot, and I respect you for that, and for teaching me stuff ofc.

u need to understand the blues to understand everything ;D Blues Guitar Rules (2 ways to understand this ;D )

this taught a thing or (and i was confident in my knowledge of blues playing) keep em coming man...


peace

this taught me a thing or two *

Great lesson Pick.

You rock pick! Keep making the awesome videos!

not to be anal but,

the 22th part

Isn't it 22nd? :P

Othere than that, love it

ahahah squier P-bass, lovely lesson probaly one of the best, that back track is so kick ass! lol your random definitions always scare the crap out of me,keep the lessons coming ! I learn more from one of these then 2 weeks with a teacher ! take care Pick

These types of video lessons that teach some general basics and include a popular song to demonstrate techniques are awsome. I've learned little bits from each one of Pick's lessons, and it has inspired me to even learn a couple of the songs that I probably wouldnt have otherwise. Keep them coming... I look forward to the next one.

well done

Actually, it's 21st according to this: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/home/contributions/search.php?PickNGrin&filter=colu
mns

For some reason, this vid isn't on that list, unless I'm blind, so yeah it's the 22nd.

Thanks Pick!

Cool, video, and awesome pants \m/
Rock on ^^

I can't give this anything less than a 10. All of the extras and useful information are awesome. Thanks, Pick.

Backing track is pretty cool, I like how it's not just the same thing over and over XD

Once again, I like it. Good stuff. Thanks a ton.

GET OFF YOUR ASS AND JAM!lol thats pretty funny at the begining. Once again you rock pick

awesome video pick... love that blues, rock on

YES! Finally a blues vid. I needed some new licks/inspiration :cheers:

simply awesome... im so glad someone older and more wise than I is willing to share his talent to help me learn.

That was cool.

Thank you pick. =)

Really fun to watch, as always
The extras are super cool as well

Thanks very much Mr. Pick
Looking forward to the next one

Pick's back!

Your comments are my reward! And a fine reward it is! Thank you!

Awesome lesson pick, I've picked up some cool stuff off this, and also expanded my knowledge of notes in keys because of the scale diagram. Also before this lesson I didn't know what penta meant.

A is my favourite key, and the backing is in A, so I've had a lot of fun with the backing track.

Again Pick, thanks so much for this lesson.

/Adam

You have a gift for teaching guitar. Excellent. More please!!!

Very nice!
Hey Pick....who's that other guy that's always interrupting u ?

Thanx Pick. Really appreciated. You can tell how good by how fast the comments come in after you post. Be well guy.

excellent, i loves me a bit of blues guitar - cheers pick! keep up the great work.

Damn i wish i had freaking speakers right now!

haha pick has gone skitz lol.

great lesson though!

hey pick, i'd like to see you have a video of you jamming with some of your chums. (you on guitar, not that squire p-bass :-P) I dont know if it would really teach anybody anything, but imo it would still be pretty cool to hear you rock out.

That was just what I was looking for...
Thanks Pick

Has anyone ever told you, you look like jason newstead in the front page photo.

anyone else catch the "22th" part? lol

It IS Jason Newstead...isn't it?

checked

you know, for someone to take time out of their life to try to help people is really cool. and for people to come on here and cut people down for trying to help is pretty sh***y it really shows alot about a persons character to do things like that.
thank you pick, you've helped me alot in all of your videos. i cant afford a teacher, so this website is mine. its all right to cut up in the forums but dont come to these lessons and articles and such just to say negative crap about someone whos trying to help. you might not need it but some people gain a lot from things like this.

Yeh.. I mean... I've been playing guitar for 3 years, so I guess this stuff is technically "beyond my level," or so some might say...

The heck with that, I love watching Pick's videos because a refresher course is always good. Plus, I think that everyone can gain alot just from learning from someone else's 'bag of tricks.'

Honestly, those riffs sound great. I have been tearing up some cool new riffs based on Picks originals and its very, very cool indeed

lol i enjoyed that, and those licks helped cheers mate.

YEAH!!!!

Great Video. I'll be practicing these licks today until I get them down.

PICK!!!

hey pick, i'd like to see you have a video of you jamming with some of your chums.

I'm adding some to You-Tube. But videos of me playing dont get as much interest as lessons.

anyone else catch the "22th" part? lol

It's a typo, English is our webmaster's 2nd language, so we see things like this from time to time, give him a break---he makes this all possible.

It IS Jason Newstead...isn't it?

Yes..it is. Again this what our webmaster selected, I dont have much say in it, I really don't care, I am greatful to have UG host my vids.

Right on! you nailed it! The Moderators are taking action to reduce the flames, hence, Kris and I both are grateful for their support. Always remember, accomplished musicians dont flame other musicians.
Thanks guys, you rock!
-Pick

Rock on Pick. you can never teach enough about the blues.

By the way, Pick, 2 questions:

(I know I already talked about them, but I just can't get over it XD)

1. Where did you get those pants?! Did you buy them like that, did you get them ripped, did you do it yourself..? I can't find any ripped jeans where I live (small country town in Portugal =P)

2.What's the song at the beggining?! 'Get Of Your Ass And Jam!' *awesome guitar solo*
God... I need to know who these guys are.

(By The Way... a compliment. I find it awesome how your videos are slowing gaining a character of their own... like adding the bluesman in... awesome ^^)

Thanks Pick! Learning scales is great fun...not...but this really gives me a better idea of what to do with them and makes learning a heck of a lot more fun. Really appreciate the explanation as well from Blues Cat Pick.
And to the Mods who keep this forum from becoming nothing but a flame war between preadolescent punks who can not find a G string with both hands keep up the great work, as it really can be a chore!

1. Where did you get those pants?! Did you buy them like that, did you get them ripped, did you do it yourself..? I can't find any ripped jeans where I live (small country town in Portugal =P)

Bought the Levis new, worn and ripped from use. But once the knees blew out I helped the rippage along on the thighs.

What's the song at the beggining?! 'Get Of Your Ass And Jam!'

Thats George Clinton! Look for either The Parlaments or Funkadelic.

Sweet! that lesson was awesome and liked the opening. Keep up the good work.

Somewhere along the line, could you teach Texas Style Blues, and stylewise stuff, more specificly, what does Hendrix do to make his stuff sound like Hendrix? (e.g. I love the guitar in Bold as Love and I know it's him, but I can't pinpoint why.)


I love how this video isn't something I can't do: "Dis iss A minor" *plays lightnight fast* Dis iss A minor at la 999BPM *breaks sound barrier*. How am I supposed to learn from someone doing that? (Not a big fan of shred anyways. SRV all the way.)

Awesome.

Awesome! Strong and effective licks, thorougly prepared and explained video with some neat extra features. + I also liked the beginning.

Btw I am suprised the attention our clothes get - I oughta think more of what I wear...!

Great video Pick.

Great...thanks a lot !

Awesome! Glad to see you back Pick! My playing has improved so much since downloading your lessons that I now have a paying gig lined up at my college bashes! Rock on Pick!

Btw I am suprised the attention our clothes get - I oughta think more of what I wear...!

Yeah right Kris! Guitar lesson and fashion advice! LOL! Just don't start asking me "Does this make my butt look big?"

Seriously -Anyone take a crack at the split bend technique?
-Pick

Checked.

Hey pick. I've been playing for about 10 months now and have always enjoyed the blues. i threw away like 30 bucks for a month of lessons where it was, k, play this string this week and next week you can play the other. NOT! I just caught site of your site. get it?. lol. And thought i'd pop in and take a look. Man was i surprised! I'll be back. Time to practise those scales and plug in the amp. l8r g8r

PickNGrin wrote: Seriously -Anyone take a crack at the split bend technique? -Pick

I have been trying, but it is a very tricky lick to pull off. Still though, I ain't gonna stop till' I learn it.

This is one of the best STV's yet! A cool set of licks, thanks a lot Pick! Long Live Steal This Video!

Hey. Im new here and i dont know if my other post went up. I cant see it. Anyways, just thought i'd let ya know that that was the first video lesson i've ever seen and i think it was pretty cool. I love the blues and the scales and everything you showed just helped me bunches. Thanks. I've done the split bend technique b4 but im still learnin' Only been playing like 10 months but its coming along nice. I like to do the campfire thingy so what lessons should i download? I got a 6 string epiphone and a coupla of other bangers. But anyway. Keep up the good work and i'll be lookin more often here. Didnt even know it was here. laff.

oops. nvm...lust looked up and seen the other post. *slaps head* sry

Gr8 Lesson PicknGrin!!! Thank you
btw Is there a way to rotate and/or mirror those scale and chord images? I can't comprehend as i'm a lefty.

I like to do the campfire thingy so what lessons should i download?

I like to entertain around the campfire too! This what I like about acoustic guitar, no amps, backing tracks or other musicians needed. You can entertain others without assistance. You will have to hunt through the other STV's, many of them have songs included that can be performed by one person on acoustic.

Is there a way to rotate and/or mirror those scale and chord images? I can't comprehend as i'm a lefty.

Yes, copy the neck and paste it into an editor like MS Paint, or probably Photo editor. Then find the tools to "flip and rotate".
-Pick

Wow sick video man...Most of it was tech I already new but lick 5 really spices up the playing for me and I'm using it alot now. Also the intro song to yeh vid is awesome man...

Once again thanks and keep em coming they help!

Awesome pick always good to play the blues!

Also who was that other guy in your video? haha

Keep up the good work bro really helps me alot!

Finally!!! I had to switch browsers to view it. Ooh, cool distressed jeans. Watching it right now. Thanks for being so awesome.

Oi Pick, I've been at your website, and I have a question.
That cover of 'Time' magazine...
Is that an image edit or is that the real cover?
If it is the real cover, that's ****in awesome mate!

(for the curious, here's a link to the picture http://hometown.aol.com/myammer/images/70s.jpg and a link to Pick's website http://hometown.aol.com/myammer/Pickindex.html )

That cover of 'Time' magazine... Is that an image edit or is that the real cover?

It's me on a '56 Chevy Bel-air two door that I rebuilt--I used to be into hot rodding cars. But its not a real cover, I was only 11 when Woodstock happened, there is a give away the cover is fake---Nixon was president during Woodstock...Not Carter.

nice job pic i like the dark match blues guy comin in with some info on double stop mcguillicuttys saweeeeet

Awesome work Pick, so glad you're still keeping this up!!! Don't ever stop (as long as you enjoy this... looks like you do anyway!). Thanks again, I'm a fan!!

Checked.

Pick, You obviously know your stuff, and make great videos. But seriously, does everything have to be so cheesy?

Pick,
thanks for the blues lesson,I loved it. You have to know we have all been waiting for your next video and this one is right up my alley. I have turned into a Blues-a-holic. I just luv the soulful lics of the blues. I have so much to learn so keep them coming.
Happy Holidays
Speaking of your cloths, I love the hat, I want one.

Hey Pick,

Thanks Pick. I love your lessons and your sense of humour goes down well with me too. I appreciate the huge amount of effort you put in to these great vids that help the rest of us improve and increae our enjoyment of making music whatever level we are at.

Hey Pick,

RJ

Great lesson! Pick is great too!
Only a question: i find very useful the colored scale diagram, where i can find out them?
Thanks and excuse me, my english is so bad...


Rock and roll keeps me alive.

Pick - You rock!!
Only checked out the Blues, the Fun ,Begins and Palm muting but they are really cool and very entertaining. Haven't picked up a geetar in anger in about 10 years (been busy playing drums). Got here via Jamorama link and glad I did too. I shall definitely be coming back and downloading your vids.Keep up the good work - nice to see Metal is creeping in everywhere!!
John (UK)

Nice... I wish I were like you!
I suck at guitar, but not for long thanks to you!

Nice

this guys funny
really good too

I get the 404 with the backing track link
nooooo!

Great video, but I have the same problem as westo. I really wanna use it... Ill keep checking back for it to work, wont take no for an answer! thx neway pick

For a blues player, you seem to have an awfully digital amp. Surely a valve'd suit you better?

The http://38.103.144.66/files/blues_backing_track.mp3 and http://38.103.144.66/files/blues_scale.jpg links are dead...
Can a webmaster fix them?

The http://38.103.144.66/files/blues_backing_track.mp3 and http://38.103.144.66/files/blues_scale.jpg links are dead...
Can a webmaster fix them?

If you go to the files/ directory, without a file name, you can get a listing of the directory. Navigate to guitar_lessons, and the files are in there. Alternately, make the link:

http://38.103.144.66/files/guitar_lessons/blues_sca le.jpg

and

http://38.103.144.66/files/guitar_lessons/b lues_backing_track.mp3

Any way to download the backing track? I can play it, but can't figure out how to download it...

yeah right click on it and click save target as.

Was that guy explaing the stops supposed to be SRV? If so, i found that pretty funny. Good job man.

pick you really are doing a good thing here thanx

PICK WE LOVE YOU!

Hi, the link you posted to the JPG of the scale turns up a 404 error. I had a look through your directory and the correct link is:

http://38.103.144.66/files/guitar_lessons/blues_scale .jpg

Woops, left a space in there.

Sorry, I hadn't seen this before I posted.

This was fun. Thanks!

GREAT HELP,I need more videos like this.....
I still have not figured out how to download your backing track, shure could use it.
Thanks,
JoeP

hey Pick, ur a great teacher, but has anyone told you you're not that great at guitar...

great lesson but the links for the backing tracks dont work for me =[
