Appreciated!

you can't believe how much I feel like a rockstar by learning all these positions

Hi there! Can we have control over the volume of the clics? Howard does it sounds like? On top of That, can we set up an accent on the fiesta beat say?

Good one. I suppose using a high buffer size for track monitoring will work also.

Thank you tascam didn't show this in quick start up vid

How am I the only like? This is super helpful

Okay, so for the Major Scale, can you advise how to switch the notes or the roots? Same Shapes right?

I played a gig last night and this helped at least four times to find the house during my solo time. It works.

I want to mention that while you are improvising, or at least me, I just quickly in my mind try and either jump to the house box and then, even with my eyes closed, I do see the teapot and now I got all the other notes I normally would be fishing for, right there, bam. and moving to Eric, which can be the Mixolydian Scale if you are using the Major Scale patterns, which I just add the notes in. For example, Now I visualize Arnold as Mixo, and Eric and Minor Scale (he is depressed maybe), and where the house is, in the Major Scale with The root on the middle finger, so moving between minor scales, major scales, ect. Super easy. But more importantly, Fun.

I just copied and got the characters in the thumbnail all chilling together. I saved it to a tab, then, zoomed in. It held up and I snapped a photo on my phone. This is just pure gold for people like me that learn this way.

this guys a hero

wow amazing. thank you

Beautiful. I love your music. Keep up the awesome creative journey.

Wonderful video. Keep up the great work.

Wonderful video.

Great video. Your brilliant.

This is a great video for learning about music. Makes learning fun.

Hey, Jean…thanks for this memorable visual. Weird, but memorable. 🤔🍷🎩🎩🎩🙏

Such a Brilliant creative interpretation ! Thank you ! ⭐️

Thank you for your brilliant Creative explanation! 🎸👍🏾⭐️

I watched this video, later in the day picked up my guitar and I could play the shapes, a fantastic method to memorise the shapes that worked instantly. Thank you so much. Brilliant! Eric and Arnold, you rock!

Light bulb moment. Thanks 👍

omg lol, so cute :-0

Che fantasia

After many years trying very hard to memorize these, all I needed it was the easiest way to learn it.

The pentatonic scale is very easy to learn. But not like this. Learn the five notes of an octave then repeat EXACTLY THE SAME SEQUENCE starting from the higher root. You can do this from any root on the neck. Because you are going diagonally, you will never be "trapped in a box"

Man I don’t know how to thank , I tried everything with these shapes for major and minor and just as I thought I knew them all ,always this panic mode could appear if I play for audience and then I would feel lost on the next best note. I think the shapes are not intuitive for humans and therefore easy to make some mistake. Your system gives me all the structure I need and it’s really amazing. Thanks thanks thanks

*Shapes, Positions = WRONG WAY TO LEARN. INFERIOR WAY TO PLAY* Music is intervals + rhythm. Scales are runs of intervals. Scales are not "shapes". Those who present shapes, show more than one scale at at time. *First, before tackling the pentatonic minor, learn the Ionian scale, aka "the Major scale".* From this scale, you can learn all you need to learn to play rock and roll, blues, country, rock and metal. R M2 M3 P4 P5 M6 M7 All of the intervals are Major 2nds, i.e., two frets up on the same string. *The pentatonic minor scale is the "dropped 2, dropped 6, flat 7" scale.* If you drop the M2 and M6 from the Ionian scale and then flat the M7, thus making it a m7 interval from the root, you have a pentatonic scale. Had first you learned the Ionian and then learned the Mixolydian, i.e., the "flat 7" scale, then learning pentatonic minor would be snap as you are omitting the M2 and the M6 from the Mixolydian. There is only one way to play a pentatonic minor scale, by matching the interval. R m3 P4 P5 m7 The run is thus: E ------ | 1 | x | x | 4 | ---------------------- A ------ | 1 | x | 3 | -------------------------- D ------ | 1 | ---------------------------------------- G ------------------------------------------------------ B ------------------------------------------------------ E ------------------------------------------------------ Or diatonically, E ------ | 1 | x | x | 4 | ------------------- A ------ | 1 | x | 3 | ---------------------- D ------ | 1 | x | 3 | ---------------------- G --------------------------------------------------- B --------------------------------------------------- E --------------------------------------------------- Diatonically, another way E ------ | 1 | x | x | 4 | ----------------------------------------- A ------ | 1 | x | 3 | x | x | 1 | x | 3 | ----------------- D --------------------------------------------------- G --------------------------------------------------- B --------------------------------------------------- E --------------------------------------------------- Diatonically, yet another way E ------ | 1 | x | x | 4 | x | 1 | x | 3 | A ------ | 1 | x | 3 | ----------------- D --------------------------------------------------- G --------------------------------------------------- B --------------------------------------------------- E --------------------------------------------------- Stop with the crazy shapes already.

What is that unicorn doing?

Im 61 and memorized the 5 pentatonic positions awhile back. If i can do it. Anyone can. Going to watch now. New subscriber now. Take care 😊👍👊💯🎸🎸

Very clever

Subbed

I memorized the scales based on the chord shapes that you refer to (E-form, C-form) etc. The chords and scales corellate directly to each other. However, after seeing the Unicorn and Spaceship, it cannot be unseen! haha

This is a clever approach to the boxes. Very visual, a stimulus and tends to stick in the head. We'll done and thank you.

WOW!!!!!!!! PRETTY GOOD WAY TO REMEMBER THESE "SHAPES"!!!

Almost left without commenting thx bro your very dope

That is a great story you’ve put together. It’s a true story. Thanks for telling it.

Bro this was so helpful..thnks

This have me giggling the entire video 😂 what a fun and silly way to look at the fretboard. I have been playing for 15 years and i am always lookin for new ways to navigate the guitar! When you see the scales clearly in your head you can focus on being creative within them, instead of where they are. Great stuff!

I have a request, I am pausing it on the part with the characters but I can't pause it with all the characters on the notes. Can you make a PDF to download or a new updated video with the Characters playing a larger role on the notes? This is just brilliant and I was thinking of making my own characters but I am not good at arts and crafts. For example, you pick up Eric and than lay down the house. I'd like to try and see it with Eric Standing next to the house.

Okay, I'm blown away by this. Why am I seeing this for the first time in 25 years. This would have saved me years. I used this during my gig tonight. I saw the house and the unicorn. The spaceship. I didn't really get to the teapot, or his brother, but I will work on it tomorrow. This is just crazy. Thanks for this.

such a creative way to remember the shapes. Thanks!

Excellent video!

all over the place once you started dithering with the paper alignments. Very difficult to follow.. Cant you please use some colour markers so we can conjoin in our minds please. Thank you. ..mind you, I couldnt do it better myself. Very VALIANT ! Thank you.

What a amazing concept!

Interesting way of looking at it. Thanks. I think viewers need to watch your other video with the figures first.

eric and arnold approve

Once you see it, you can't un-see it.

That is genius, real out of the box thinking - and memorable 😁
