Warren Haynes Style Guitar Lesson – EP064

Description

I’ve had so many Warren Haynes requests lately that I had to try and put together a lesson with some of his signature licks. I was very hesitant to do it at first because he’s such a fantastic guitar player that I wasn’t sure if I could pull something together that did his style any justice. I feel like this is a decent interpretation of his style (although not as much overdrive as he would probably use). I had a great time with this one and will probably create a follow-up if there’s enough interest.

      Brian! Soooo sweet this Warren Haynes gem! Can you dig deep in your memory bank and tell me more about the pickups, pedals and/or amp settings to get that beauty of a sound???

    Great lesson. The few non pentatonic notes in there are worth the price of admission. Great way to spice up the pentatonic playing and break out of some ruts.

    I have never bought a lesson on-line before, but I liked your style so and gave it a shot. Man am I glad I did! Every week you outdo yourself and come up with another great lesson. My guitar playing has taken a giant step forward. Thanks…  I’d love more lessons like Warren’s.

    Brian, thanks so much for your hard work and dedication in putting these weekly lessons together.  I really love the way you explain the scales and break it down where it’s very understandable.  My playing has sky rocketed since becoming a premium member.  Thanks!!

    Brian,
    Love the lesson, and Warren Haynes is one of my favorite players. I have to ask tho…..and at least mostly in fun……. how can you do a Warren sounding lesson on a Tele and not on you’re 335?  I can only think of him with his 61 335 “Big Red” or sliding on his LP.. You’re tone is great here…but a little Gibson respect Brian!! Haaa

    just beautiful ..  I’d close my eyes on listening, were i not so involved with seeing where your fingers are!! 
    You’ve entered a new realm of ‘bending’ .. seems like you do a mini-melody within one single ‘bend’ .. wow…

    ” I waNT blisters on my fingers!!”  .. tho 9guage helps a lot!

    which begs the question:  why not 6 gauge?
    even if they only last an hour!

    Great job Brian,

    Love everything about this lesson and your remarkable attitude.
    After listening to you a few weeks ago with the Warren lesson, I realized how lucky I am to have you as my weekly mentor taking me slowly to the next level of my playing. I know growth speed is directly related to the amount of practice time I carve out for myself. Also it is following what you are teaching to the best of my ability. Thanks so much and please keep up the fantastic insightful lessons!
    Robert

    Excellent exercise with a mix of legato and string bending and a simple backtrack that’s easy to play. Here’s my vote for more like this one. Definitely!

    A question: How does the C chord in the backtrack work in a song in the key of D?

    Thanks!

    Some of the most beautiful and soulful playing, ever. I much prefer your transparent overdrive to harsh grit. Magical composition. In my eyes you are truly a remarkable guitarist.  Great lesson.

    Thanks Brian, great lesson! Got the licks down great, although when I jam to it I keep ending up in this sort of spacey minor place…kind of a grateful dead “we forgot what song we were Playing vibe…actually reminds me of a Phil And friends show I saw with warren Haynes! Anyway, I would definitely be interested in more like this…maybe cover some arpeggios?

    I have been a member for almost a year now and I love the lessons. I have learned so much about theory and knowing the basics of keys, chords, scales, etc. I think it would be interesting to throw a few lessons in of popular songs.

    It works well using mixolydian D7 and Gmaj scale for a Dreaming fleetwood Mac

    Very cool. Might be worth mentioning that most of these patterns are using several inversions of the Cmaj & Dmaj triads. I’ve found that learning inversions really helps open up the fretboard and people can see how the pentatonic scale lays over them. Helps to find lots of diads within the scales as well which Warren uses a lot.
    – Cheers
