Very helpful, thanks!

Generic platitude

What is this song ?

The conscious incompetence stage is quite frustrating for me right now. I might be better off if I was still just strumming open chords with a pick and pleased to be sounding better than I did a few weeks ago. But at least all the available great resources now available online give me vision of where I want to go.

This must be one of the most understandable versions of the subject i have run across. Thank you Chris!

This tutorial takes me way back to early 2004 when I took my first guitar lesson. My former teacher would always stress the importance of practicing scale and triad studies, so I made sure to set the ground work in place. Fast forward 20 yrs. I think it’s fair to say that my fretboard knowledge is pretty good! I love your teaching style and if I were learning the instrument today I wouldn’t hesitate in joining your community. 👍😎

Until I saw this I thought playing outside ment sitting in the park and jamming ,which isn't all that great in winter !!!

Great lesson Chris, I would certainly love to learn more about how to put acoustic songs together in this sense from cover songs or any song really in your Patreon (Stage Area) where we can learn by you choosing a song for us, then allowing us to have a go at it and then you breaking it down for us, so we get this "ongonig" voice leading, melody and harmony principles for creating our own songs... Maybe I'm just too new to your membership as yet and have yet to find this, but there isn't too many teaching how to break a song down and voice lead, harmonize and melodize the whole thing, but this is certainly fascinating stuff and you're teaching it 👍

Awesome video. Need to watch it a few times but the info is gold. 🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸

The G Major scale you played sounded like the first chords to “Lean On Me” no?

This is really good stuff on drilling those triads, so much so that I've gone and joined your Patreon as a keen follower on the top level just today... I think your way of teaching is awesome and easily digestible in these little bite size lessons you can take away and practice getting under your fingers for a few days or a week, try them in music and then come back for more... No more information overload or paralysis for me with guitar (and believe me as a self-taught guitarist picking your path and what to use now and save for later to learn is mighty challenging)... Thanks so much for being on RUclips and doing the work you do!

This is exactly where I am in my playing right now - 🙏

On the feet board where it belongs! Yes!

Pardon me for saying, but the dirty sound of the guitar is silly. Cropper didn't use that type of sound when he recorded the song, and even if he did, for teaching it would be much better with a clean guitar, perhaps a bit of reverb. As Miles Davis famously said (possibly apochryphaly), "There are no wrong notes...there are, however, poor note choices." I think we can apply that here. There are no wrong guitar tones, but there are poor tone choices.

Sensational lesson dude. I love people who teach in intervals. It’s The difference between handing someone a fish, and teaching them how to fish.

Chris, it’s funny but when I first started learning the 5 shapes using the usual ho hum training I knew it was the wrong way to go and to make a long story short I formulated my own way which is what you teach here. Love your channel. I even have the caged shapes memorized in 4ths order. GCEAD. Just like changing chords it’s Super helpful to know because you can do relative movements while running through a progression. I also know where all the triads live in each. Also being the sick person I am 😂 I have the circle of. 4/5ths memorized in scale degrees, 7362514 b7 b3 etc. even more useful (fast efficient) when analyzing a chord /scale/solo you don’t recognize etc. Some don’t realize this but the 5 shapes occur because there are only 5 unique strings on the guitar. It becomes more obvious if it wasn’t for the kinky B string. 😅

THANK YOU!!! SO USEFUL

this is the most important guitar lesson ever !!! thank you so much Chris !

❤

dear lord you just blew my mind. So simple and effective glad I found this video now instead of never, thanks for the help!

I gotta say, I hadn't picked up a guitar in years until a few months ago. I wasn't sure I'd even be able to get back at it. Long story short, i stumbled upon your videos. Not only am i excited to pick up the guitar every day again, but your concise and super easy way of teaching has me interested in the theory side. Something i thought I'd never comprehend. As soon as im comfortable enough, I'll be enrolled in your classes. Thanks for helping bring the true sense of music back into my grasp.

This is exactly how I use diagonal pentatonics to figure this out for each position. So valuable. Great tidbit of info right here.

Intro jam sounds like Hey Arnold background/credits music

2nd time around I paid attention. Excellent. Stil don't have the Bonamassa lick down though lol. Close! Give that man a cigar......

Great lesson man. Would we be able to get a pop chord diagram as you’re playing next time? Sometimes I have a hard time seeing exactly what teachers are playing. Kind regards

Thanks I was always confused with the metronome :3

Thank you! This is always a stumbling block. Don’t get the note numbers in relation to number of frets. Keeps me just relying on shapes and stumped on seeing notes or understanding diff between 2nd, maj 2nd, min 2nd …

Another great lesson!

Yes!!!!! Such a cool lesson

Yes, I have always found the key to "memorizing" the shapes and how they correspond to the pentatonics is which finger is used at the lowest tone root position. Get that right and your fingers fall into place almost automatically. Very well explained in the video.

Thanks!

Over a Blues with 3 Dominant 7 chords, each chord can use all 12 notes in this order: first 3 and b7, then 1-3-5-b7; then 1-b3/3-5-b7; then 1-2-b3/3-4-b5-5-6-b7 (which is Mixolydian combined with the Blues scale); then use b2-b6-7 in chromatic lines that resolve to chord tones. - It took me a lifetime to figure out that all 12 notes can be used over each Dominant 7 chord in a 12-bar Blues with 3 Dominant 7 chords.

Pro performing drummer expanding my horizons . Need to unlock the unit mysteries of the scales. Thanks for your help.❤🎉

I have been playing guitar a very long time (without a teacher) and this was the most succinct demonstration of triad I've encountered online. Marvelous.

Very interesting. Extremely interesting even. But I’m not sure I like it for Blues per se….. You’ve definitely unlocked a door for me….but not for the Blues. Keep Blues bluesy, if you know what I mean. I like my SRV the way it is. Robben Ford isn’t my cup of tea. But I did hear some David Grissom stuff in there. I do like his playing. But this definitely has other applications. I’ve been playing for awhile but sometimes you’re just not ready to receive something. Well, I received this. Thank you.

Saw you a couple of times on Marty's channel and love your teaching style, so here I am, a new sub. I am also a new player, so be gentle! Old hands, old & tight fingers. Wish me luck.

This is great you did this. He's crazy good

Great lesson!

OK, so what I just watched was what I’ve been interested in for a few years now…Modes! How you began your lesson by restricting to two notes per string forces the player to find the correct notes in other areas on the neck. Unfortunately I’m away from my guitars for a while so I can’t try your methods. Anyway long story short this lesson is Outstanding! Thanks!!! PS: where do I find the information on playing each mode? “I Do Prefer Lydia Mix Ales Locally” is my Nemonic Device for remembering the names and order of the modes!

Key takeaway for me - "Everything...all 12 notes are inside this bracket."

Just found your channel. Great stuff. Cant wait to watch more. Thank you.

Exactly what I was looking for

Again, great video. I feel like the major scale should be the first scale aspiring guitarists should tackle. Couple questions, though. I may have missed it, but did you mention what intervals of the scale you are playing sequentially with this exercise? Three notes per string, moving up the fretboard this way (W-W-H-W-W-W-H). Is that F# supposed to be the root note of the scale you are starting with? Also, I am asking a lot of questions, is there a tip jar I can throw money into? I realize this is your job, so I don't want to mooch. Thanks!

Been playing for 42 years. There are plenty of places to find useful guitar instruction. Please continue looking if this is your first choice.

You taught me more practical information in 4 videos that I have been able to internalize watching several dozen. Now some of the others make more sense. I am BTW a very old beginner.

❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

Bullshit. There's no G#, D# or A# in the circle of fifth. Better do your homework before you start teaching, you are confusing everybody.

Third time through. Still gaining new insights

Good one! Thx

Great Examples…Thanks 🎶
