great job man... you're a great guitar player... as a fellow musician i want to give you some advice in playing also. you're really good, but one thing you're really lacking in playing is the feeling in your solos, you also need to learn that. thats one of most important thing in soloing... it improves the music that your playing... i guess that's all...thanks for all your videos... it helps me a lot in playing... keep on playing... yeah! Godbless Man!!!

lol. If you're going to "cover" some else's work, (Marty Friedmans - Melodic control) then you should at least have the respect, (self respect) to give credit to those from whome you've copied and not try to pass it off as your own. If you wanted to give people an education, surely it would have been better to do a re-post? You're holding people back by trying to boost your ego. We both know that aint right dude. \m/

Technically speaking, Eb isn't the maj7 of E; it's the major seventh of Fb. D# is the maj7 of E. And as to why you wouldn't use it, it's because that E is actually E7 in this progression. If you were to make it Emaj7 you would kill the pull back to Am. Tritone resolution (as well as the unstable 7th) is what drives dominant chords back to tonic.

And dude? what is up with your bends? :(

Why wouldn't you use the eb note on the E-chord? it's the maj7. I know you don't wanna land on it, but I'd still use it. Sry mate again: to much theory, no feelings.

Yes you really should learn some scales, at least the major and minor scales. Pentatonic scales are just simplified versions of the major and minor. If you want to solo over chord sequences then they are crucial! Have fun.

JoniTD... can you explain to me why it is so important to learn scales please?... and would u reccomend me takin the time to learn them?

Often self taught is a good way to go, as you learn exactly what you want to learn. But in the long run you can pick up bad habits, but often its these 'bad habits' that defines the guitarist. If we all sounded the same how boring would that be! Just learn at your own rate and have fun.
