This is literally the only channel I've ever actually hit the "notification bell" for. Edit: Gotta love that the only channel I've ever followed this closely, immediately moved over to Patreon, and put everything behind a pay-wall.
All I see in the comments is praise and it still feels like this man has not received enough praise for these videos, mindblowingly good! Has helped me soooo much
It took me like a year to learn this in a piecemeal fashion with different teachers. You summed it all up in 15 minutes. They say you never stop learning guitar, but if someone ever asked me how to, I'd say check this video and you'll be on the right track. THANK YOU! You are a phenomenal teacher.
One of the best guitar teachers on RUclips the camera on your guitar makes it so easy to learn because I can visualize what your teaching and the editing is supreme. 🙏🙏🎶🎶👍
Most visually produced guitar tutorial I know on youtube, enables me to see how the guitar functions and it's dynamics. Gonna do a small donation since its the season of giving
Honestly, I remember being in a rut with my playing after over a decade of playing the same songs and being self taught. I stumbled on Scott’s video detailing the caged system and had my lightbulb moment! I couldn’t believe it. One of the best out there on the internet for learning the guitar.
Scott, I've been performing & writing as a solo artist for almost 30 years. I never stop learning and am always looking for new inspirations. You have definitely inspired me and opened my eyes to harmonies and grooves I can add to my music that will open more avenues of creativity. You are seriously a gem and have serious talent in expressing what you teach. That is a true quality. I can't wait to watch and save all your videos. I even got something from your Pentatonic video...& you're right, it was the first thing i learned. But, the ABAC and parts like writing a song has totally got me thinking about new ways to create! Thanks for again for the videos. You deserve much praise and $$. You are definitely one I will donate to.(And, I never have before). Keep them coming.
All of us who play guitars for a long, long time. Some thirty or forty years or more. Some more than half a century. When we start with the guitar we think and look at the guitar as an integral part of our bodies.the guitar becomes a part of our brain, when you start to convey emotions with your playing. And you think with the guitar, even then we all learn.
I've been watching guitar instructors on RUclips for years yet never saw this information before. Let alone have it presented in such way. Your creativeness in producing these videos combined with your knowledge about music and skills with the guitar... it literally makes you unmatched. Thanks for all your work!
I really enjoy your videos, especially the care that goes into making them. The guitar camera, the graphical overlays, the well-prepared explanations. It's really refreshing in a world full of slapped together "oh yeah, I didn't tidy up my room but here's a scale for you" videos. Happy holidays to you man.
Probably this is the most comprehensive lesson I've watched, While watching you can also feel that you're the one playing it and probably soon you can play it by yourself because he made it easy to understand. Video editing is also nice. To all who are still watching and new to his channel please watch all his videos, he is a totally amazing man of guitarist! Please publish more of your talent to help us guitar enthusiasts to bring our guitar playing to the next level. Thank You so much 🥰
I've spent years with many books plus other video lessons - and you have nailed it for me in just this one video. Thanks for your clear and visually explicit format for understanding the guitar fretboard. Absolutely brilliant!
You sir are heaven sent. This is exactly what RUclips needs. No ego, no bs, just beautifully structured lessons. You really care about the viewer learning and it shows with all the effort you put in.
I absolutely love your teaching style, if I ever come into any money I'm donating a good portion of it to your channel. You've taught me more in two combined videos (pentatonic "map" and this one), about 30 minutes, than I've learned in 11 years of noodling. Thank you so much!!!
This is the best video on pentatonic on the web. I love how you overlay the patterns on the fretboard with the split window showing the particulars of the shape. Bravo!
I watched this 3 months ago to learn to play guitar and I though this video hard to understand. But I'm back, I watched this video after I practiced on the pentatonic scale and I will say, your video really help me. Thank you very much 🔥
I can not get over how well produced and edited your videos are. The music and instruction is great, but the camera locked to the guitar neck so it's always in the same spot in frame, the ghosting of the fingers and the overlay of the notes/positions on the guitar is just astounding. Throw in the little backing audio nods when things are written or notes/scales are mentioned in order so you can hear what's being talked about is just an amazing subtle addition that brings this whole channel to another level.
The 22 minutes video I had here yesterday got me back for ever because 10 minutes of learning here is equivalent to 100 hrs of guitar lectures I've seen elsewhere in 15 yrs. God bless you Sir and am gonna progress much in a month than the previous 15 yrs
i can't thank you enough. i was really curious about music theory and how people made some fun solos and stuff. now i am really getting into it! i am actually learning something about music and it makes me feel so good!! thank you for being here!!!
What a person u are? This is the best gift one should get as a gift of music theory... U r a gem❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love from India... There is no need to search different utubers on ubtube... U alone are enough ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Less resource maximum benefit
I started learning guitar 4 months ago and after all those major and minor chords strumming I came across Pentatonic.I am glad to know that even if I had begun my practice 3 years ago this video would have enlightened me the same way it did today.I am very grateful and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart
You are just brilliant.I am 65 and have always wanted to play like that, and if I had both the internet and you as an instructor the sky would have been the limit.
@@mrdeurknopp literally this. I stopped at 13 and im 17 now. i WISH so BADLY i didn't quit. find new things to make it enjoyable man and stick with it !
Guitar is just like maths, people find it hard to learn because it is taught and explained the wrong way so it becomes difficult to learn but in this channel every lesson is simplified to nursery school level thanks to the ghost notes You will never get any better explanation of the CAGED system like in this video, thanks a bunch, bless
I know it's been said before, but I don't understand how this channel doesn't have more traffic. Your lessons are so incredibly helpful. I hope you're safe and can continue after this covid terror ends.
Scott Paul! You are born to teach guitar. I can see this is your destiny!! I've been having a struggle for a very long time in understanding Pentatonic scales and caged system. Great work. You're a saviour!!
Time stamps: C: 0:55 A: 4:04 G: 5:29 E: 6:23 D: 7:40 Every major penta scale has it identical twin minor scale, for example, if you have a g-shaped C major penta scale then the other notes gonna be A minor. If you want to make the Major reference note Minor, bump it up 3 frets. For reference notes keep the colored notes in mind red and purple.
You do an excellent job of getting to the nuts and bolts of what's going in a very plain and helpful way. And the visual references you do overlaid on the fretboard are fantastic.
Dude! You have a very unique and awesome way of explaining things. I was engaged through the whole video. You have inspired me to keep playing when I am at the point of giving up. Thank you.
Scott you are the best teacher on RUclips. Can't thank you enough for what you teach in half an hour that we struggle to learn in years. Could you please make a tutorial on bendings, pull offs, hammer ons and all those stuff. Thanks..
Great addition to the series Scott, I really appreciate your efforts on behalf of us newbies in 2019. This friend in Wales has just bought you a few coffees for Christmas ... have a great Xmas holiday, and a Happy New Year!! Looking forward to more quality videos in 2020 and beyond ..... well done!!! C'mon everyone .... buy the man a coffee for Xmas!!
The best of the best lesson that I've just watched and it's just cleared everything that I need to know on pentatonic scales ..so great and great staff..
It’s like I know this stuff down deep, but the minor scale relation to the CAGED system is also where I got tripped up on my guitar theory for 20 years🤦🏼♂️ 😅 Thanks for putting this visual lesson together my brotha...so helpful to put the glue on everything 🙏🏼 One thing that would help tie in the jam track section for me even further & more quickly, would be one of your visuals of the chords being used in the minor keys...seeing the chords & scales over each other in two separate windows with your vid edit style would be the ultimate! 💯 You have the gift of teaching my friend! Keep bringing it! I can only imagine how many people around the world will play better music, or discover it for the first time, because of your generosity and teaching methods. That’s pretty damn special when you think about it, Scott! You the man 👊🏼😎
Thank you for these amazing videos Scott. The visuals and effort put into the videos are very much appreciated. I’m learning so much about the guitar through your channel
There are lots of other great guitar tutors on RUclips, including you. However what sets you apart is the layout and supporting graphic and angles. This must take loads of work, so thanks so much for sharing.
I absolutely for the first time understand the pentatonic scales. The dots on top of the actual fingerboard is so less confusing. You are the best. Don't need the rest.
I've been playing for 24 years and just want to compliment you on the quality of your instruction. It's natural, clear, and useful. Cheers man. I've recommended your content to a bunch of new players.
Scott, I just wanted to say thank you for everything you do :) Your lessons are simply amazing. I really take a lot out of them, both for revising and enhancing my knowledge on the scales and the CAGED system. The quality of your videos is simply amazing. Do you accept video suggestions? :) I noticed that you mix in different styles into your licks, but I clearly hear a blues touch in it. May I suggest a video of say 10-20 MUST KNOW blues licks? :) Maybe also based on the pentatonic scales, showing when to use them best over which chord. Please keep doing what you do, because you are simply outstanding and an immensely talented instructor. Lukas
Lawrence Duca ill be back to RUclips eventually. I’ve got some plans. In the meantime, I’m making a ton of lessons for my patreon. Only $11.67 per month
@@ScottPaulJohnson I've watched countless of your videos over and over again the past week and you are tremendously helpful, can you send me a link to your lessons?
I’ve known about the CAGED system for a long time, but after watching your videos it finally clicked and I’m actually able to play it and “see” the fret board. Thanks man!
You make so damn nice videos, man! Very well done! Now I know, what my "problem" is/was: seeing the shapes. Sometimes, it's hard to relate to an "E" or an "A" etc, when looking at them. But on the other hand... it's very, very, very easy and fast to learn, since it's only five shapes and five letters. ;) So no need to see the C, A, G, E and D within it. Thank you so much for all your effort on making amazing and informative videos! :)
Bro! took you 15 min to explain something that I haven’t been able to wrap my head around for 10 years 😂 you are the best. One thing is to know stuff and another completely different is being able to explain it, kudos to you
Thank you so much! I've been working on the major CAGED system and your video on how this links with the minor scales has blown my mind. This is probably basic stuff for some, but I'm so happy right now - it works and I can solo!
This was perfect. You broke down a couple of walls for me and answered some questions and taught me a could new tricks!! Unsubbed everyone but you! Thanks!
Man I need to say this. You made me an overall happier person because of your video’s. My dream is coming true because I’m taking my guitar skills to the next level now and one of the persons that caused that is you. So honestly, Thank you so.. so much!
I "learned" to play the guitar some 20 years ago. Had no teacher, really not enough content on the internet, only some really basic magazines. I played chords, never got past there, learned a song here and there without paying any interest to the guitar anymore. I was getting my guitar maybe 3 times a year, played it for some half an hour to see if i remembered the songs, No progress in 20 years. I originally watched your Caged system about 3 weeks ago, i can play trough all the fretboard now. Im really happy. 3 weeks, i learned more in 3 weeks from a 20~ mins video than in 20 years. Seriously. Thank you.
Your teaching methods has no equal, I am an apprentice to the guitar world and I have learnt so much from your amazing system, thank you from a student and fan.
Been playing guitar for over 20 years and struggled with the Caged system but your videos really make it a lot easier to grasp the concept. Great work....
Many of you might not believe me. But i memorized the shapes of pentatonic scale in one day. Thanks to this guy, I am now beginning to understand how to find the rootnotes in a scale. If I only have money to donate I would. This guy is awesome.
Hey man, just wanna say I hope you continue these tutorials. You are the best teacher here on RUclips and I hope you're gonna have a structured series of lessons soon. I wouldn't mind paying for them!
Man I never comment, but seriously the amount of effort and production value is off the charts. Can't imagine how much work this takes. still, all that is for nothing if the info is no good - but you nail that too. thank you
After a couple years of learning on the internet and throwing money at random online courses, your videos are by far the best. They have taught me more than any of the online courses I have taken. Thank you for the incredible tutorials! - Nice to see a local in Seattle!
I've been watching your videos and have been impressed with how you explain things so well and easy to understand. You have helped this old man up his playing a lot. No virtuoso by any means and don't plan on being one, I just like to pick around and have fun around the campfire and wit friends. My friends have asked me why have I never played for them the way I am now and I tell them cause I didn't know about this awesome teacher on you tube and gave your name and several are starting to watch you. Soon as this virus crap is over and I get back to work I will join your patreon for sure. It's worth every penny to me. Thank you again!!
Very good info. I’m self taught and never understood why things work.. this has given me the motivation to add it all together. Awesome graphics and clear description. Keep up the good vids 👍🏽
Hey bro just to let you know Ive been struggling with certain concepts for years and since I found ya channel a couple of weeks ago you've gave clarity to those things that was holding me back my playing has improved in weeks with ya methods.....I know it's hard with work and editing and actually real life Soo I will be patiently waiting for the next lesson KEEP UP THE PHENOMENAL WORK!!!!!!
Dude i've been struggling to add flavour to my solos and this just covers so much potential and knowledge in one video, through this method and memorizing the 5 pentatonic shapes, i've learned roughly every mode of the major scale and can play over lydian, phrygian, etc... because the pentatonic is the base for these scales and that makes every scales much more easy to learn, so thanks a lot man!
YESSSSSSS. This is my thinking as well. With pentatonic scales you have the skeleton of major, minor, mixolydian, dorian, lydian, phrygian. You don't have to CHANGE any notes of the pentatonic scale., just add.
This was the best explaination I have find over the net of how all these scales articulate together within the shapes...Now I can solo...thnx a million times
Scott, this is an amazing lesson!! I’ve been trying to understand how to apply the caged system for a long time. Finally, I can see how knowing the different shape patterns and knowing where the root and the minor note is located in each pattern gives you more options. It’s like instead of just knowing the main roads, you now know all the back alleys as well. Brilliant. I really like the way you explain the CAGED system. 👍👍👍😃

I "learned" to play the guitar some 20 years ago. Had no teacher, really not enough content on the internet, only some really basic magazines. I played chords, never got past there, learned a song here and there without paying any interest to the guitar anymore. I was getting my guitar maybe 3 times a year, played it for some half an hour to see if i remembered the songs, No progress in 20 years.
I originally watched your Caged system about 3 weeks ago, i can play trough all the fretboard now. Im really happy. 3 weeks, i learned more in 3 weeks from a 20~ mins video than in 20 years. Seriously. Thank you.
Your teaching methods has no equal, I am an apprentice to the guitar world and I have learnt so much from your amazing system, thank you from a student and fan.
Been playing guitar for over 20 years and struggled with the Caged system but your videos really make it a lot easier to grasp the concept. Great work....
I am so glad all the comments are expressing how thankful the youtube guitar community is for this guy. Thank you brother.
Best practical use of CAGED I've found yet. I'm using this in my daily practice. amazing amazing amazing.
Superbly explained. Your attention to detail and visual overlays make it effortless to follow. Thanks for the crystal-clear lesson!
One of the Best CAGED Instruction Vids on RUclips. Absolutely First Rate.
You've simplified this in such a way that makes me question why noone else on RUclips has been able to lay it out so I plainly. Thankyou so much
Many of you might not believe me. But i memorized the shapes of pentatonic scale in one day. Thanks to this guy, I am now beginning to understand how to find the rootnotes in a scale. If I only have money to donate I would. This guy is awesome.
Hey man, just wanna say I hope you continue these tutorials. You are the best teacher here on RUclips and I hope you're gonna have a structured series of lessons soon. I wouldn't mind paying for them!
I am continuing!
Man I never comment, but seriously the amount of effort and production value is off the charts. Can't imagine how much work this takes. still, all that is for nothing if the info is no good - but you nail that too. thank you
After a couple years of learning on the internet and throwing money at random online courses, your videos are by far the best. They have taught me more than any of the online courses I have taken. Thank you for the incredible tutorials! - Nice to see a local in Seattle!
This is what stopped my guitar playing dead thank you so much im sorting my old one out now and taking the rust off
I don’t know what I enjoy more; your lessons, or your solo improvisations. Please continue to do both.
Thank you so much. You are one of the best guitar teachers ever.
Very intressting channel you are sharpened me I really enjoy guitar now
I've been watching your videos and have been impressed with how you explain things so well and easy to understand. You have helped this old man up his playing a lot. No virtuoso by any means and don't plan on being one, I just like to pick around and have fun around the campfire and wit friends. My friends have asked me why have I never played for them the way I am now and I tell them cause I didn't know about this awesome teacher on you tube and gave your name and several are starting to watch you. Soon as this virus crap is over and I get back to work I will join your patreon for sure. It's worth every penny to me. Thank you again!!
One of the newest and easiest ways of teaching pentatonic scales. I must say the best one ever. Thanks a lot SPJ.
He explains extremely well AND uses the onscreen graphics....Awesome Teacher
This a brilliant lesson by a very good teacher that explains everything concisely and clearly.
Very good info. I’m self taught and never understood why things work.. this has given me the motivation to add it all together. Awesome graphics and clear description. Keep up the good vids 👍🏽
You and Andrew Clarke have the skills and knowledge for me to mix together for one great tutorial. Watch it over and over
Hey bro just to let you know Ive been struggling with certain concepts for years and since I found ya channel a couple of weeks ago you've gave clarity to those things that was holding me back my playing has improved in weeks with ya methods.....I know it's hard with work and editing and actually real life Soo I will be patiently waiting for the next lesson KEEP UP THE PHENOMENAL WORK!!!!!!
Have watched your major and minor caged tuitions. Really clear teaching. I now understand stuff that has puzzled me for ages
Thx Scott for posting the fix. I am using your work to learn the CAGED system so I appreciate your attention to producing a high quality product.
Dude i've been struggling to add flavour to my solos and this just covers so much potential and knowledge in one video, through this method and memorizing the 5 pentatonic shapes, i've learned roughly every mode of the major scale and can play over lydian, phrygian, etc... because the pentatonic is the base for these scales and that makes every scales much more easy to learn, so thanks a lot man!
YESSSSSSS. This is my thinking as well. With pentatonic scales you have the skeleton of major, minor, mixolydian, dorian, lydian, phrygian. You don't have to CHANGE any notes of the pentatonic scale., just add.
@@ScottPaulJohnson can you please teach me filipino of how to learn play guitar
Extraordinary and clearly presented music theory class! Certainly, will recommend it! Thank you, Scott!
You are so talented to teach what you learned!some people learn but they can’t teach like you !be bless 🙏🙏🙏
Some of the best instructional videos on any topic right here. Amazing. It finally makes sense.
I have watched many other youtube tutorials, but yours is the only one that's very clear and easy to understand. Really keeps me motivated. Thank you!
Best visualization of this concept on all of RUclips. This was brilliantly done. Thank you!
This was the best explaination I have find over the net of how all these scales articulate together within the shapes...Now I can solo...thnx a million times
Scott, this is an amazing lesson!! I’ve been trying to understand how to apply the caged system for a long time. Finally, I can see how knowing the different shape patterns and knowing where the root and the minor note is located in each pattern gives you more options. It’s like instead of just knowing the main roads, you now know all the back alleys as well. Brilliant. I really like the way you explain the CAGED system. 👍👍👍😃
Thank you so much for your lessons! Your overlay for finger position is gotta be one of the best on youtube.
