      The camera alone is an innovation, keeps the letters and dots on the same spot throughout the video. Pair it with the ghost hands and it is pure genius. Music teachers hate this guy!

      I was gonna say that. All video guitar lessons should be done this way. Patent and sell this system! Like with sports on TV now you have the strike zone box, the first down line in yellow, etc. It's better than being there! But being there is still important.

      Definitely extremely helpful. I was just going through some other tutorials earlier and it was hard to see where the fingers were on the fretboard. With ghost hands it makes it incredibly easy to see where the fingers are hitting the fretboard. Keep up the good work.

      He just has a slightly transparrent image of the fretboard overload on top of the film layer. It's not the fingers that are slightly opaque, it's the second layer of fretboard/strings. You can see the layers seperate when the strings vibrate or when he does a bend of vibratro.

    • @nickpawsey
      @nickpawsey 3 года назад +3

      Yeah it helps, but scales will help you a little more to unlock that fret board. Start with minor pentatonic learn the 5 shapes and then learn it in major, and then learn the blues scale and the full major and minor scale. You can use your top 2 strings, your E and A as "airports" to play in any key and quickly get into any position. For example you are playing in key of G and you want to start your minor scale, you'd simple go down to your G note on your A strong and start Shape 4 with your root note and continue your shapes.

      @@zootsoot2006 You get it. They are placed the same place on the neck😊
      The pentatonic scales are formed aroud these CAGED-shapes. The same goes for the diatonic scale etc.
      So, you initially use the scales to play your solos in key, and later on you use the CAGED-forms to target the specific chords in the underlying melody when playing your solos.
      Chord-targeting gives you solos a “better” sound, compared to merely playing in key.
      Anyway, you use CAGED for chord tone targeting in your solos 😊

    The CAGED system is one of those things every single RUclips guitarist mentions but never goes into any detail other than it's a beginner thing. THANK YOU SO MUCH! It bothers me so much it's easier to learn music theory than it is to learn fretboard layout from people. Just looking at your PDF it all makes sense because you can also see the chord inversions in the layout as well.

    Christ. In my spare time I've been singing and strumming rhythm guitar, finger picking, and even doing the occasional solo from rote memorization, for nearly 30 years. Sat in and did some vocals with the odd band here and there, did some open mics etc... Most people think I know how to "play guitar", but I always felt like a fraud next to lead players. I've never had one of them, any other player, or even several teachers, effectively lay out what the hell they're doing to just whip out an improvised solo.
    I finally chalked it up to something I'd just never "get".
    ONE fucking 18 minute video, and 3 decades of banging away finally make sense. I don't know whether to be happy I finally get it, or pissed at how simple it is and how inept everyone else is at explaining it. Both I guess.
    Well done sir!

      @@oswaldogarcia5358 yeah, for me, none of this information was new, but it never really coalesced into a usable whole before. Between this and his pentatonic scale video, everything finally came together for me. I knew the scales, knew the chord shapes, knew the neck etc... But it just never gelled together on how they all interact with each other. The way he connected the interrelated bits of theory, with the on-screen graphics, is great.
      I've had all the physical skills to do pretty much anything I want on the guitar, from flat picking, strumming, to complex finger picking, and could play a thousand songs from Alabama to Led Zeppelin. With the caveat, that I had to know the song, and/or have the TABS. I couldn't just take a random 12 bars blues song and start playing fills along with it. Now I'm no BB or Clapton, but just after a couple days of seeing this video, I can grab any random backing track on youtube and start playing along with it. Something I'd given up on ever being able to do years ago.

That's why I've signed onto your Patreon Page ... there's that special "something" you bring to explaining concepts of the music subjects that is satisfyingly clear!

Re framing and explaining these chord shapes and scale patterns is how my brain works, and this helped a lot.

      It will! It opens the door to using different chord voicings or chord fragments, and after a while it becomes second nature to play a solo over a chord progression just about anywhere on the fretboard.

    By far the absolute best guitar lesson video on the internet (for me, and what I need to be able to learn, that is). A guitar buddy sent me a link to this, and after watching for 3 minutes I knew I absolutely need to join your patreon and absorb everything I possibly can from you. Thank you very much, for FINALLY doing a video that makes sense and I can actually understand.

    I started playing when I was 17 back in 1981! OMG! I learned that 'G-shaped' pentatonic. That was my staple for a few years then started looking at the Dorian, Lydian and Phrygian scales etc. I never really understood them well enough to be able to put them to good use. I haven't played in 20 years and have started to look around a bit for inspiration and THIS is the most amazingly productive 20 minutes I have EVER had from any teacher, peer guru our whoever. I have seen the light! Thank you for this brilliant lesson!

      As with anything, it takes time and effort to learn and understand. Some people don't want to put in the time and effort (study) to achieve understanding. (They're called "slackers".) These people fear what they don't understand. This fear causes them to "lash out" (give it a thumbs down) which is just plain stupid. They miss out on so many things in life and that's their punishment. Which leads to one of my favorite sayings: "Stupidity is it's own punishment."

      @@oklahomajefferson4625 This video is right. Might be that the confusion is between shape and key? You can play any of the shapes in any key. But the G shape as shown here is correct. You can tell because each of the scale shapes contains the chord shape.

    I’ve been playing since I was 13. I’m now 40. I can cover a lot of songs, but in 30 lessons (covering pentatonic scales, blues and basic chord progressions for songs I liked) I never learned the this system, the cuticle of fifths, or any other music theory beyond the basics. Everything I’ve done has been by feel and ear since then. This video explained everything I’ve needed to know to break out of the plateau I’ve been on since I was 28.
