Aryo10th December 2006great lesson kris,
just wondering how you can count the intervals to know that the green dots are flat sixths.
Kristofer Dahl11th December 2006Aryo: Thanks, this made me realised one dot was missing on the d-string (fixed now!), was the the reason of your question?
- Kristofer Dahl11th December 2006
I also got this question regarding the solo:
--------------------------------
Hey Kris
I practised the lesson yesterday and I thought it was really good !
Especially for a beginner/intermediate I guess.
I do have one question:
Everytime I bend up I seem to touch the string above which makes a dirty sound...
How should I fix this ?

Vince,
Look at the videos closely and you will see my left hand index finger is playing an important role in the dampening of unwanted strings. Check it out and see if it works for you! 
adam130213th December 2006this is awsome
chainsbroken3rd January 2007I Love it!!!! I have really been struggling with my bends. Way to much unwanted noise...pratcing this has really helped help me gain control over these bends..
Steelkonsum11th January 2007I found this very easy to learn but I love the sound just as much as it was easy.

Stålkonsum: Less is more - as always! :)
bricktop21st March 2007you mentioned that the b6th doesn't sound great to hang on..Is that because it's really the 4th interval in the C major scale? Seems like the 4th interval and 7th interval are best used to go somewhere else quickly.

wow thats pretty cool!!
- Kristofer Dahl29th March 2007
Regarding intervals - the reason the b6 isn't strong is beacsue in this case it isn't achord note.
The 4th and 7th are a bit "stronger" notes depending on what chords are there . - DragonX5562nd May 2007
How do you know what note you are bending to and how much you have to bend to get the desired note. For example it says 17b (18) and another time it says 18b (20).
Andrew Cockburn2nd May 2007How do you know what note you are bending to and how much you have to bend to get the desired note. For example it says 17b (18) and another time it says 18b (20).
17b (18) -> fret the 17th and bend so it sounds like it is being played on the 18th -> bend up 1 semitone
18b (20) -> fret the 18th and bend so it sounds like it is being played on the 20th -> bend up 2 semitones or one tone
To get this right you need to be able to "hear" the pitch you are bending to, be it a half tone or a whole tone, and then you need to practice enough that you can do it consistently. At first, you can fret the note, then try and do a bend that matches it, eventually you'll be able to do it by ear alone.
synysterpunk16th May 2007nice, cause its easy, and it sounds awesome

Beautiful lesson! Kris, could you please add a slower backing track with no guitar sound, just the beat and in a lasting loop if possible? I wish the lesson was longer it is so beautiful
Thank you.

Time for some slower/bending/feel-oriented licks! These phrases should be great for the beginner/intermediate guitarist, as well as for the more advanced guitarist - who needs some bending ideas in between the shred runs!
This lesson elaborates on how to make use of the minor/aeolian scale for a more sorrowful sound - by using the the b6 and chord notes. The licks and backing are in A minor.
