"Hi my name is Jared North and today we are going to be talking about putting it all together. Now that we have learned some basic chords, some different pentatonic scales and different slides and pull on’s and hammer on’s we can think about about putting it all together. Now we have to play make sure we’re in the right key. To make sure we’re in the right key we notice that the blues shuffle started in the key of E. So we are going to go ahead and play in the key of E which will be located right up here on the seventh fret of the fifth string. OK. So we are going to E to A. Just as. It goes E to A Lets go ahead and see how that sounds. That’s pretty much what you want to do when soloing. Try to incorporate some of those different techniques string bending, vibrato, pull on’s and hammer offs. It takes a little while and it takes a good year and a little finesse. With some good practice you can go ahead and get that down no problem. "

on 8/2/2008 Hi Jared, My name is Rob and I have always wanted to learn to play. I recently obtained an "Applause" by "Ovation" by trading a laptop for. I was looking for chord charts when I stumbled on your vids and may I say from a guy that knew nothing but what a guitar looked like, you have opend my eyes and my mind to what everthing is all about, you have cleared the clouds from my mind and made the possiblity of playing a reality. I'd love to keep going on how much your vids are helping but I need to practice my "C scale some more" PEACE! Rob
