Hey Tribe!
You ready to roll? Don’t miss one word of this introduction. After that, head to the lesson below!
I sent you a VERY IMPORTANT email a day or two ago that had a recap of “The Bridge”. In that message, I told you that we were going to dive into soloing.
Man this is one of my favorite things about guitar.
To me, it’s the part of playing that makes a guitar SING…. and it brings tons of joy!
If you have the tools to do it, it will come very easy. Let me assure you, you have some world class tools to get you there – in a hurry! We just need to start building on them.
If you’ve ever watched one of your favorite players jam all over the guitar neck, you know what I mean when I say it’s just flat out COOL!
Today, we are going to dive HEAD FIRST into it and within 30 minutes from right now (where you are standing or sitting), you are going to start some really cool things. We will build on this very fast in “Full Blown”.
Stay tuned for more info on that course.
I should tell you that the peanuts I charge for the “Full Blown” course (very affordable) is 100% GUARANTEED and your investment is very small for the rewards you’ll get out of the course. More on that later…
Now if you happen to be one of my more advanced players, don’t you worry about a thing. I assure you, what I’m about to show you on playing solo’s all over the guitar will be different than any other method you may have tried in the past. This will be like ROCKET FUEL for your playing too!
Playing licks, riffs, solo’s, lead (or whatever you want to call it) makes playing so much more enjoyable and whether you are a seasoned player or a newbie… Hold on to your hat! I haven’t told you a “tall tale” yet have I?
I promise you this… “guitar legends” have been tapping into this stuff for years!
Once you practice up on it for just a little while, your friends, family, boyfriends and girlfriends will stop dead in their tracks to listen to you. I’ve literally seen people walk from one side of a guitar shop to the other – just so they could come and see how one of my students was doing what he was doing!
That’s cool to see somebody you’ve worked with (that you KNOW GOOD AND WELL was stuck in the “Top 10 Problems”) sitting there wearing it out and milking the LGFAE Full Blown System to death. You will too! I’m sure of it!
As we continue on to the course “Full Blown”, we’ll build on this with some of the coolest and quickest ways to learn. You’ll hear things coming out of your guitar and fingers that you never imagined – YES YOU!
I can assure you, you are NO DIFFERENT than the thousands of other players I’ve worked with who literally change their playing beyond belief!
I’m just glad I got to be a part of the process!
Go get your guitar and take your time on this lesson. Turn of your notifications from your phone and facebook – you’ll be glad you did!
Go over this lesson a few times and then apply “The Triple Factor” to it!!!
This lesson is powerful and it will also show you the recording quality of what’s in “Full Blown”. After you do the Cowboy Blues lesson, check out the video below it.
Priiiittttttty Coooolll Stuffff!
Saddle Up!
Have fun and if you need me, I’m yours!
Your guitar picking pal,
~ Jerry

Jerry, I must say that you are an incredible teacher. I learned more in 3 weeks than in the last full year. First time I have an idea of what I am doing.
Thank you Jerry,
In these last.few weeks I’ve done nothing but look forward to catching, watching,playing along with you. You’ve made playing my guitar easy & interesting, I’m looking forward to your Full Blown lessons. Sign me up, please send me all d info I need & I will be looking forward to jamming with you….
Jerry I really like your lessons, I just saw your video on the pentatonic scales. I have been practicing. but I don’t have the right thumb I think, I see players with their thumb that curls back mine is like a straight board and I have trouble with the lead playing or scale playing, any advice because I think I have a bad habit of wrapping my thumb around the neck to much.
HAve not seen a bad video from you yet, I am turning people on to them.
Just started the mini bridge. So far it’s been fun. Thanks
Great I am learning a lot.
Hi jerry once again a top class lesson cheers mark
wow jerryy, that was the most explosive lesson to date, awesum! making some real sense of my fender and a set of new sounds/riffs!
look forward to next sessions

Jerry I like your course the bridge I wanted to know if you had a DVD of your Full Blown course that I could purchase my computer cut out bad on your videos thanks again!!!
Once again you’ve done it Jerry. Cant wait for the next lesson. Keep on keeping on
Hey, Jerry! I loved the video lesson, and i got the scale, its very easy. But.. wouldn’t you mind on making an exercise for us, like the others lessons? I didnt get the last exercise with this scale =/
Thanks man, you’re like my friend, and a great teacher. Glod bess you.
Dear Jerry, I am learning a lot from your lessons and tips, it is very nice to have someone talented and experienced. Thank you very much.
Excuse my English because I’m not fluent in Brazil teaching has always been very bad and people have to work hard and the few that manages to stand out, so I apologize if something is misspelled because I am using the Google Translate tool to write to him.
God bless you greatly.

Good stuff Jerry, Keep it comin’ man lovin’ it- Just wondering if you got my message about moving or getting my lesson on a defferent PC I’ll be using. Guess I’ll try to keep using this one till we get to “Full Blown”. Peace my brother from another mother :)
wow wow wow jerry your palying is sick as an cool man you are the real deal i will paly just like that vary soon i just have to thank you for the lesson jerry an god bless you an keep you
Jerry just started to take on board the Pentatonic man this sounds good keep it coming my good friend !
well i gotta say you sure make little things sound sweet. i will wear my fingers down dancing around the neck with this lesson. will also recap other lessons just to keep the basics of what you are showing me as a permanent part of my philosophy with my journey through life and my passion with playing the guitar “PROPERLY”. thanks dude for your time and valuable pearls of wisdom.
Jerry,
Thank you, I am just thrilled with your concept. Cant wait for more lessons!
once again great lesson – amazing.
Woooww…you are amazing!!! The best teacher!! Be blessed Jerry!!!>:D<
This lesson has really started to tie it all together for me.
Cool intro, man! And nice lesson. Many thing you said are familiar to me, but you show the on such a way that I can really make use of them. Also, I still can’t belive you are giving all this for free to us. You’re always saying “you can do this”, and actualy, it’s very motivational. I’ve always have my guitar and a beer next to me on each of you lessons so, I can say, cheers Jerry!
Roberto
Hey Jerry, I will try again now to send you a comment. (the last one didnt go thru for some reason) I agree w/all the comments posted and I have been trying to play guitar for over fifty years to learn what you have taught in these few lessons. You are amazing! What an inspirational teacher..I will be signing up for your fullblown and not looking at the other sites I have payed for and just let go to the wayside,easily totalling over 400.00…..Thank You beyond words……..Steve
Wow Jerry ,that made a lot of sense but I wonder why my replies don’t show to me . Do you get them ?
Re bending,, what size strings do you use ? I got strong fingers but I struggle to vibrato like you do ?
Cheers
John
Jeeeez Jerry,, after 50yrs , in a few minutes you made a lot of pennies drop.So much stuff makes sense now,,, good on yer !
Fantastic lesson
Jerry, you are so good. Makes life a lot easier with a real teacher like you, someone who knows what he is talking about, knows how to do it, and knows how to explain it simply and without the B/S.
Thanks heaps
TonyS
Wow Jerry! Im amazed! Thats so easy and so COOL!!! can’t wait for next lesson.
JERRY
KEEP EM COMEING THIS IS DOING ME THE WORLD OF GOOD.ha ha sorry for shouting.
cheers keith
Hi Jerry..
great lesson.. been doing pentatonics since i first picked up my guitar and yup.. going up and down does not sound to good bro. it is to simple for mere mortals to even contemplate playing outside of the pentatonic shape and now we all know we have somewhere to go ( LGFAE ) 12 frets up….
thanks
phil.
Great Stuff! I am starting to get hooked on your method of teaching,a lot easier than others to follow.Thanks!!!
Jerry
As a newbie, this is great stuff- thanks for sharing this critical knowledge. It will make my learning and playing much more enjoyable.
It could be even greater if you could tab out the cool licks you demonstrate!
Awesome Jerry, Love what your doing with the Pentatonic scale, your making practising the guitar fun, and I really feel we are getting somewhere…..At Long Last! There is light at the end of the tunnel. Well done, I tip my cowboy hat in your direction. :-)
well done again jerry…heck, what can i say?…sometimes i guess some of us just can’t see the forest for the trees…in my case, you really took care of that little problem…when i started the cowboy blues lesson and you were explaining the notes of the pentatonic…automatically my brain was thinking…heck, all i gotta do is move this whole scale to the 17th fret and i can slide back and forth…started doin’ it while you were explaining adding the blue notes..you taught me to think that way earlier…gotta admit, i love it when you choke..’cause i choke too…no offense…another great lesson..thanks again for everything…
steve
NOTE FROM JERRY:
Steve,
Thanks for the comment. You got it. The trees still get in my way brother… Sometimes it just takes a little looking around them.
In terms of choking – If I had a penny for every time I choked, I’d have enough copper to run wire Tennessee to California and back a few times. BUT!!!!! Listen to your chokes! Many times, they’ll provide a unique lick you’d never think of. I’d call that “Gold In Them There Hills”.
Practice the “Tripe Factor” not only that but on everything you know. You’ll be amazed at what comes out of your fingers and guitar.
Thanks again!
Jerry
Jerry
You really got me now. Best lesson so far . Please keep it commin your instruction is awsome.
hey jerry once again another good hopefully everone out there knows about TAB if you take that and apply it with these leasons you will see jerry knows his stuff i now see alotta things coming around and its all good thanks jerry keep it coming
Thanks for the refresher course on the Penatonic Scale.You reminded of things that I forgotten. I find the teaching method to be superior to oither co urses that I have tried. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK>GO VOLS
Couldn’t agree with everybody here more. This lesson is better than sitting in a little room with a boring teacher and leaving unsure of what to do next. I feel like I’ve know you forever Jerry. You have a way about you man.
Thanks.
Tim

Jerry-
You may have just outdone yourself.
I want to know how to play like you do at the beginning of this video.
I’m a Van Halen fan and it seems as if you were/are at one time yourself.
This is killer stuff Jerry.
Mike
Outstanding man. Outstanding. I’m in for the course when it’s ready. Thanks for everything you’ve shared at no charge. Very generous and good good stuff.
TR.
Jerry,
I can’t wait to get my son Tanner started with you. Your video’s rock.
Greg
Wait-Wait-Wait… Where’s your bubble gum? Just kidding. This lesson is so helpful. It seems like you have this natural ability to make things easy that were once hard. I love that.
Thanks.
Kim

jerry as soon you let me i’ll be in on it
I really enjoyed this lesson it has showed me how to move the pentatonic up and down the neck. Before this all I could do is play it in one position at a time. I am looking forward to the next lesson. Thanks Jason Henderson
Jerry, you made something that can be absolutely boring into something totally cool! The great thing is I can use it right away. I love the way you show how to expand things on our own. Your a gifted teacher, keep up the good work and God Bless.
I have never seen the pentatonic scale explained so thoroughly. Great stuff, and I’m really looking forward to the next bite.
Regards,
Pete
Great stuff and thanks for posting. I am slightly behind the ball but I am trying trying to pick up the pace…
OMG!!!
Jerry, this is one killer lesson and the video is absolutely cool!
This is what I’ve been wanting to sink my teeth into and you nailed it. As soon as I got this, I started watching it and what a nice surprise.
All I can say at this point is, I’m in!!!!
Just tell me where to sign up!
Thanks man. Keep it coming!
Blake
Wow – There is hope for this beginner. You are a great teacher and I have learned more in this lesson than everything I have tried to learn off the internet. Thank you for everything that you have taught all of us. Sign me up!! I am convinced if anybody can teach me, it will be you!!
P.S.
The 1,2,3,4, 2,3,4 have made it so my fingers
can move faster than I ever thought possible.

Jerry I’m one of those annoying people who have practiced the pentatonic scale up and down ad-nauseum without throwing any variation in it. Subsequently I became sick of it and stopped practicing it. You’ve made a really good point about changing things up, but more importantly you’ve SHOWED me an example of how easy it is to do.
I’m currently working on the bridge solo to Stairway To Heaven. As I work on it, I’m beginning to see the relationship between what Jimmy Page wrote, and what you’re trying to teach me. In other words, it fits.
Feel free to liberally use the fret hand camera insert. It really helps to see what you’re doing more clearly. Thank you for all your help. I’m having a blast!
Best,
~Mike
