Hey man,

so I was thinking about this:

"you mention learning the major and minor pentatonic scales, which I did learn them from Ander Mouresen's lessons, but not really what I can do with them.  Also, people started stated talking about the major and minor in different positions?  Now I'm wondering after all the time I've put in so far, am I getting anywhere?

I can go through the lessons, but after practicing consistently, every day, with a rare miss, I can't play anything, I can just follow the lessons?"

...whilst I was messing around with "Yngwie's Simple Shred lick" I just learned...

so I thought I'd share my perspective on this.

the vid itself is a question to Schlegal about what I'm doing music theory wise... by combining
the Yngwie lick (built of a particular scale)
+ that chord
+ that pull-off
+ that final note.

then after my question I thought... well that's just the thing:
you just gotta play with stuff... that's all the greats are doing

it's just that you get more and more of an idea what you are doing the more you do it and the more you intellectually learn

but all the intellectualizing in the world isn't going to help you actually understand 

you just gotta get IN the music... and feel around.

so anyways... here's the vid
