I have watched hundreds of instructional guitar videos on youtube. The concepts you detail in this lesson were each known to me. But this presentation explained the relationship between these comments better than any video I have watched. I didn't expect much from the title to this lesson (almost didn't watch it) but it is so much more than the heading communicates. Your videos are consistently good, occasionally dull, but among the best on the site. Very helpful and well presented!
I've been playing 40 years. I never understood why I was doing what I was doing. Now I have more insight. Maybe I move to the next level now!!!! Thanks, Jules.
Danke Jules, super Zusammenfassung von 9 Themen. Mit wenigen Worten ganz viel Informationen. Besonders, wenn man sich vorher damit beschäftigt hatte. Weiter so!
Fantastic lesson now I understand the bending concepts and how to practice them. Then study the rest of the concepts here and I can’t wait. Thank you oh so much Jules you are the best!
Hi! I think I've mentioned this in a similar video, but there is a symmetrical shape to the one you showed in concept 9, which aligns nicely in the vertical direction with the one you showed, and by combining these two, you can find every single note in the whole neck. The one you showed is, on the bottom strings: E |----3--5---------------- A |------------3---5---7-- The symmetrical shape is: E |----8--10--12---------------- A |---------------------10---12-- This shape aligns vertically exactly with the continuation of the one you showed, and vice versa. With these two shapes you can find the whole pentatonic in the whole neck!
Hi Jules, I have been at the guitar for about 6 months and am having trouble with the basic music theory. I call it a foreign language that is backwards and upside down. Being a lefty doesn't help matters either. Your lessons are starting to make sense and my, as I call it "making noise" is starting to sound like music. Thanks for your help.. James
Unless you're intent on learning to read music, don't get stressed about music theory. Learn chord shapes and their names, and for lead guitar, learn a couple of scale shapes. If possible, join a covers band, or get together with other musicians to jam. The more you play, the more pieces of the jigsaw fall into place, and before long you'll understand the theory without having it taught to you formally.
Hello sir! I believe you're a great guitar teacher! Thanks for sharing. Can you make a video about modes and relate it to pentatonic as well. Thank you.
Always great lessons, but why do you present the scales just the other way around on screen? It's confusing because in other guitar instruction videos the scales are displayed with the thick E string at the bottom and the thin e string at the top.
They r wrong besides it is how u understand guitar and play. This guy and me we understand it better this way. To me the other guys r confusing and it makes no sense
I love the sound of your guitar. On what amp/multi effects are you playing and what effects/pedals/plugins are you using ? Thanks for the infos. And thanks for your videos, they are pretty good 🙏
Great lesson, and I know this is old. I know all these basic sales in their positions and I have newer been able to figure out if you would play down the 5 positions for a lead part of solo (say key of A song with ACD chord progression), or would you just move you major pentatonic box 5 in these keys over the changes and slide between the three same scale position just down and up the neck? I guess technically you could do whatever you wanted, but in "theory" what is the correct way? I guess I always assumed you connected the positions and stayed in the song's key which can get pretty tedious, or are these just two ways of doing things? Thank you for the lesson.
Nice lesson, not sure why its more important than CAGED though. It looks as though you are soloing to the key, where as CAGED gives you the option of following the chords also..
Great content conceptually. However your upside down and backwards tabs are not beginner friendly at all. Every other site and tabs I have seen in the past 18 months since I began are the other way round. Would subscribe to your Patreon if I new the tabs were done in the conventional method like all other sites and instructors.

Jules, IMHO you are by far the best guitar teacher I have encountered. Your lessons are clear and straightforward. Thank you!

This is one of the best, most concise, and efficient set of lessons I’ve ever seen.
Amazing! A 15 minute MasterClass on blues soloing concepts and techniques.
Thanks Jules, Your lessons are super prepared and useful
Thanks!
This lesson truly brings it all together especially for some of us who have learned a lot but still can’t solo like a pro. You are a synthesist!

Thank you Jules, excellent teaching as always. I really appreciate your generosity.

Jules you are a great teacher,would like to see a you show more right hand action. Thanks
Thank you for breaking this down to a much easier way to understand!
Brilliant. Spot on summary and an excellent reminder. Thanks.
Another peach of a video. You are a diamond, Jules. Thanks.
Jules, Totally amazing, Thanks so much for a clear explanation. This lesson has revived my interest in guitar, Thanks so much!
Excellent stuff as usual.
I wish it was all as simple as Jules makes it look! Great stuff!
Thank you Jules for all your help.
You are definitely the best and my favorite teacher! I thank you!
Sir, you can teach! Thank you for this tutorial. It's really great.
This lesson is essential stuff, a great video to reference back to 👍🏻
Great lesson and concepts. I love your teaching!
Super simple ways to memorize the patterns. Thank you.
Awesome video. Thanks a lot.
Just found your channel. Thanks so much!
Your the man Jules!
Great lesson!
Love you and your lessons! Thank you!! ❤
Very good this video is very informative and gave me some tips I haven't been using.
Great lesson thank you!
This helped me so much

Great lessons. 👍
Another great lesson buddy. Been watching for months now. Like the way you explain. 😎👍💯🎸🎸. Note your licks sound like Eric Clapton stuff 😊😊
Wow. Just had a context overdose. Thanks!
Man thanks for existing
great lesson...love your channel....thankyou!!
Loved it
Hey, cool video, greate tone, thanks! Do you have a video about gear you use? (or just please tell us what amp, pedals you use)
Hello sir! I believe you're a great guitar teacher! Thanks for sharing. Can you make a video about modes and relate it to pentatonic as well. Thank you.
Your videos are awesome wish I would have found them earlier.

Good video for beginners

Yes,iagree.i never found much useful caged system.this Is the real core ti improvvise and write tour music👍👍👍👍
Do you have a video showing common pentatonic licks that I can apply all over the frebtoard in different keys?
This is fine if all you want to do is play in a blues / rock band. But if you aspire to anything beyond that you need to learn a great deal more!😮
Ya, all the secrets in 1 place.👍👍
Jules, I noticed those bass guitars behind you. Do you have any YT bass lessons? Cheers
What color is that beauty? Candy Apple?
Why the tab diagrams are backwards, this is not how we see the fretboard 😢
There not they are as they are when you play aren't they?
My advice is to avoid the tab as much as possible and rely on ear instead. Relying on tabs can cause becoming a good reader, but not player.
A fret diagram (neck chart) isnt TAB…. Just sayin. 🤷♂️🎸
Matches the guitar neck as we see him holding it. But, yes, unusual and confusing. Show it as we see it as a PLAYER, not an OBSERVER
This guy is a great teacher but he sounds like he may drive on the wrong side of the road too😂😂
U need frazings and full stops. Slide inside and out. This guy a beginner him self.
The tab diagrams must be flipped both vertically AND horizontally, please 🙏

Very intelligible
I watched this video twice its very informative however the audio is consistently clipping throughout the entire video at all volumes
Misleading title, should be 9 concepts for blues.
All this applies to rock too
Gee I’ve learned a lot from these 9 concepts. Excellent Teaching.😊😊😊
The indomitable Jules! Well done, bro. You've got a golden spirit. Please NEVER change. Biggup!
Thanks!
Thanks!
