You're an amazing teacher; Jules! With each of your videos a I get a ton of helpful tips and learn precious musical tricks. Thanks a lot for your great lessons and all the effort and work you put into it!! musical greetings from Germany
New subscriber. Your instruction is 'elegant' (simple and direct). I'm an older, new player; and, your explanations and patterns are excellent, and expertly supplement my lessons. -More perspectives are often better, more efficient than only one. Thx. :)
Another fanatic lesson Jules. Shapes inspire the licks. No need to memorize licks. 10:10 is Tumbling Dice (waddy Watchel with Linda Ronstadt). Many other classic sounds in there are David Bowie China Girl. Tons more I can’t remember hearing.
Great lesson. When you combine this pentatonic box 4 with what John Mayer calls the pentatonic equator and the house pattern you get a lot of options for soloing over a good portion of the fretboard.
Thanks Jules...you really are one of the best youtube guitar teacher on the web...your contents are always interesting end extremely well explained. You are the guru of intermediate players 🙌
One of the things I've noticed about the 5 shapes is that they are really the same shape, just with the root starting on a different string and adjusting for the tuning of the B string.
Exactly, they just shift over. Moving One string ( a 4th) over at a time you get G C E A D shapes respectively. Shifting back towards you is fifth movements. Easy to play I IV V progressions in the same location.
So many people have already said it, but your lessons are awesome. The way you lay everything out is so detailed and easy to understand. Doesn’t mean I’m good enough to play much of it, but….😂 Keep up the great content, Jules. While it would be awesome if Jules were to see this and answer, but hoping anyone reading this might know the answer. When he’s doing the cool triplets around 7:48 mark, is he doing two downstrokes on the G and B strings or is he doing a down on the G and an up on the B? When h does it slow he’s clearly doing both downs, but when it’s up to speed I can’t really tell. I’ve always struggled getting those types of licks up to speed, so any bit of wisdom helps.
Maybe it's an British vs. American thing but I was confused for a minute until I realized that your box illustration is upside down compared to any other one I've ever seen. That is, your low string is at the top unlike the usual low string at the bottom. Btw, thanks for posting these videos. You're an outstanding guitarist and instructor.
Great lesson Jules. Help me out as I thought the A minor (position 4) starting on the low E is 12,15, A is 12,15, D is 12,14, G is 12,14, B is 13,15 and high E is 12,15. Thank you!
Great video! I have always been intuitively drawn to playing between the 1st and 4th pentatonic boxes so it's good to see that my instincts are good. I'm just barely an intermediate player though so it's a challenge sometimes to switch between the two boxes without having to slow down to count up the frets. Between these two box shapes, and the BB King house box what else do I need!
Thank you so much, Jules!! I was one of the people requesting overviews of other Pent boxes. What is it about Box 4 that makes it the "second most popular"? Curious because it isn't adjacent to Box 1.
It's because it's midway between box 1 and box 1 an octave up. If you extend the bottom strings in box 1 down and the top strings up you've basically covered all the notes you need to get up or down to box 4 and vice versa and that covers the fretboard.
That's a very strange way of showing the pattern on the 12 th fret. Looks like the chart is rotated... It took me a while to read it the way I know it 😂 1:48
Theres lots of ways to solo Dick dale played all his songs using bridge picking Cant solo fast either but i play with what i have and use tricks like volume tricks, merge harmonics too (tapped harmonics etc ..) Lookup Matt Bellamy’s playing
@@richardrodriguez966 youre welcome sir im glad i could help, also you can experiment with one note, like guthrie govan says use slides and repetitions, u can make one note sound 10 times different just like Gary Moore does and bb king, one good sounding note is better than 10000 fast notes Especially in phrygian i love that scale it makes me fly hahaha All the best sir ! And jam on ! And btw i cant read music 🎼 what i do when i play is power on the clip on tuner and play notes and see what they are from the tuner it helps too (best put a pc bios cell in it they last better than the regular ones (Cr2032) last i changed it was 10 months ago, the others less than 2 months
It's a scam. Thanks for highlighting. It's so annoying, I'm trying to delete/block the comments but they just spam daily across all the guitar channels.
Hey bro. They got me for $100, but I stupidly handed over my details. But in hindsight, they could have gotten all the information from my homepage anyway. Take care.
I played around in the eighties and nineties; however I recently got serious at 60. Im not sure I didnt wait too late. I see 8 ,10, and 12 year olds who sound phenomenal.

What a fantastic guitar teacher!
You definitely are one of the best I have encountered on RUclips .
You're an amazing guitarist and even more amazing as a teacher....so easy to follow your lessons. I bought your books by contributing the other day!!🎉
Love your videos Jules.
Thanks for you effort, clarity and your ability to bring home jewels of guitar knowledge......keep it up please.

This guy is gold. Thank you my man for sharing
Awesome lesson. Thanks for showing another pattern other than pattern 1.
Such a helpful video, Jules. Love the way you teach. Thank you!

You make it look so easy, keep up the great videos.
This new cage is awesome. Very useful to help me expand my solos away from the standard boxes.
Thanks 🥰
Brilliant thanks. Great bit of teaching Jules
Nicely done! Thanks for that !
More blues licks to incorporate into the major chord progressions please !
Good lesson. You've got a good tone going on there
Well, I finally sent you some money for the downloads! Great channel with really clear lessons and worth supporting!

Yup. Look up “Fret science pentatonic”, he shows exactly this in a more graphical way.
Brilliant...! Thank you Jules.
This is wonderful, just easy to follow stuff that improves your knowledge, thanks so much. Jason Cook from Launchpad 11. Cheers
Brilliant lesson. Thanks!

Excellent, how are you getting those great tones?
I’d say his hand, and equipment.

JULES GUITAR, When playing the E minor pentatonic at the 12 fret and you use the A minor pentatonic box#4 at the 12 fret = Which E modal scale?
Hello sir..where you from
Good vid.
Woild help if you said the chord progression you re playing over.
That's a very strange way of showing the pattern on the 12 th fret. Looks like the chart is rotated... It took me a while to read it the way I know it 😂 1:48
What everyone else said here, Jules!! Ditto! Jim C.
love ya man no hetero
I can't read music and only play by ear. However, I cannot solo for the life of me 😢
Theres lots of ways to solo
Dick dale played all his songs using bridge picking
Cant solo fast either but i play with what i have and use tricks like volume tricks, merge harmonics too (tapped harmonics etc ..)
Lookup Matt Bellamy’s playing

@@medmusic7977 Thanks. This is very helpful. I will try and practice daily so I can get better.
Jules. Are you giving away Epihone guitars as prizes? If not, people are scamming your viewers.
It's a scam. Thanks for highlighting. It's so annoying, I'm trying to delete/block the comments but they just spam daily across all the guitar channels.
Hey bro. They got me for $100, but I stupidly handed over my details. But in hindsight, they could have gotten all the information from my homepage anyway. Take care.
The PayPal account associated with the scammer is Wanda Vazquez if that helps.
I played around in the eighties and nineties; however I recently got serious at 60. Im not sure I didnt wait too late. I see 8 ,10, and 12 year olds who sound phenomenal.
Those diagrams of the scales are very confusing the way you put them on the screen. Rotate them 180 degrees. Like you lessons!
Thanks!
