    The way I see it,depending on where you start you get two of shape 1,3 of shape two and then two of shape 3,then you go back to shape 1.
    That’s a bit garbled but try this.Try starting on low E with 1 shape 2,next on the a string use a shape 2,your d will be a shape 3,your g another shape 3.your next two will be both shape 1(moved up a fret due to the b string),if you had a 7 string your next shape would be a shape 2.
    If you start lowE with 3 shape two E thru D,you then play 2 shape 1 on g and B sttings(with 1 fret shift for b string)and finish with a shape 1 on the high E.
    Wherever you are,going up theres 3 shape 2 followed by 2 shape 3 followed by 2 shape 1 and then after that to shape 2. That pattern always follows.
    You can start anywhere in the pattern on any given string as long as you follow the pattern.

      Disagree. A minor and C major have the same notes but different homes. Thinking of a minor as a cmajor will lead to resolutions to c instead of aminor which is not what you are going for. Subtle but different.

    If you know the Aeolian mode aka Natural Minor scale (important to learn), then you already know it. Still, you may not have played it in exactly this same order. He is just mixing two shapes. In CAGED, first shape is E shape of A. Then it goes into the G shape. Or, shape 1 going into shape 2. Some teach it as shape 2 going into 3. I call shape 1 where the root is on the top, thick E string and ascending from there. It's easier for me to remember that way. Learn all your scales first. Major and Minor Penta. Blues scale, Natural Minor or Aeolian which is just like a Minor Penta with only 2 extra named notes.

    A-BC
    D-EF
    G-A
    BC-D
    EF-G
    A-BC
    which is how I always saw others do it... until now 😅
    It fits better with the other shapes to make the scale stretch over the whole fretboard later on.

    • @MrPhilippWaxenegger
      @MrPhilippWaxenegger 5 месяцев назад

      Because pinky and ring finger are connected to the same tendon. It’s harder to stretch them independently. So I’d always recommend stretching between 1 and 2 rather than stretching between 3 and 4

    I love these videos. It would be pretty dope if you called out the intervals too. Probably help the intermediate player as well as the noobs. Although that may drive away some of the beginners or make the video too long. Idk. Just seems like saying “root, second, flat third” is more helpful than the calling out the number of the finger you’re using or fret number. We can see that part.

      Tip: move slowly with concerted attention to what each muscle in hand must do to achieve desired sound. If you think you're going slow enough, slow down. Take frequent breaks to stretch and rest. Muscle memory takes over after a few sessions described above. Above all--remain persistent.

      Diatonically speaking yes but would this work in say an Am Blues progression? I'll likely test this before you reply, but I am curious. For that, I usually reach for my trusty five (5) note mPentatonic scale. It seems he is touching on some modes with his extra 2 notes. Normally, if I am playing over say an Amajor progression, I will often drop down to the relative Aminor Pentatonic aka C minor pentatonic. Same EXACT 5 notes, only the tonic note is in a different finger location.
