You're absolutely correct, I'm here bouncing around on another RUclips channel watching another video trying to convince their audience that their system works.
And maybe it does…but the only way to find out is sticking with something and really ingraining it. And - is it a system based in fundamentals? Or something bogus? 🎸🎶🔥🎶🎸
Fantastic lesson Charlie ! ! It would seem that instead of working through techniques, students will tell themselves "This is too difficult" and then wobble back to noodling. This lesson teaches a lot in a small amount of time. I will get to work on this immediately. Thank you ! !
As a fellow guitar teacher, I endorse this video. Excellent exercises. I’d add to the triads exercise the triads in first position, near the headstock. There’s money down there, too. And for all the pentatonic exercises, after becoming comfortable with the notes in the pentatonic scale, start experimenting with what other notes sound good to add, such as passing notes like the flat 5th.
@@drothberg3 thanks for this great comment!! You raised valid points - there’s only so much info you can get in a single video though!! Thanks again for watching and commenting!! 🎸🎶🎸
Great lesson. Easy to follow and if I follow your suggestions I can see where the improvements would be. Image what can happen after 12 months of doing this. Cheers
Well structured solid advice. I kind of do these things, but not as neatly outlined and definitely not daily. Currently working on my first own arrangement of a famous song and playing it in triads allover the fretboard really helps finding fresh ideas.
@CharlieLongGuitar I am one of those guitar players like you had stated in the video. I know my scales and 5 shapes pentatonic and major/minor. So im constantly trying to improve my fluency on them with what i call vocabulary or licks. I know Triads are important, and I try to practice them but don't quite know how to tie it all together. There are days that I just feel mechanical, and other days, I feel like a rock star. Usually when my ear has my fingers zeroed in on chord tones. But triads have been a challenge tying them into the scales and visualizing them as I play. Finding something that makes that second nature is what I've been looking for. Thanks again. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Charlie. New subscriber here. You are covering what I want to be working on and I like the pace and your presentations.......plus you're a really good player. Much appreciated.
Superb Charlie . You and Rusty’s Guitar on You Tube are the best, you have a similar approach. I have found you both this year. And I am just managing to break free after 20 years just below intermediate. Nowadays I play rhythm and sing. My main instrument is Rock tenor sax. Dabble. In piano , keyboard , drums and bass. The point of sharing this information is that , on the piano and saxophone, everything is linear. Imagine a piano keyboard. Just left and right/ up and down. A bit like playing on one string. Scale intervals are obvious. Finding notes is easy peasy on the sax and piano. The guitar and its patterns just don’t work for my brain. I struggle to see them. Then , I watched one of your triad videos, and "voila" as we say here in France, A light bulb moment. I never took to pentatonics from the off. Major and minor scales have all that you need. Why limit to just 5 notes. I have friends where everything they do just sounds the same, "pentatonics ". I challenge them to play a vocal line/melody of any song. For instance "Don’t Stop Believing " . You can’t do it with pentatonic scales. Not any melody. Major minor scales …triads…..You can play anything. All the Pentatonic notes are in these scales. I know that you addressed this in your video and I will give your exercises a try, but I will always just see them as scale tones of the major scale. Anyway, Charlie. If I could choose any guitar tutor in the world it would be you. Incredible musician, sound , super cool! Thank you again Charlie. My ability to understand the neck has improved immeasurably. 🙏🙏🙏
new subscriber here from PHILIPPINES I've been playing guitar for decades. your lessons made my eyes widely open for those fundamental. my soloing is realy sucks even if I know all that triads, major, minor, pentatonic scale. I can also play fast but my tone is not as good as so many guitarist out there. this lessons makes me realized that I'm still noob and need a huge practice to improve. thank you so much for this. hope to see more videos like this in future. 🤘😍
Looks interesting. Seems like you would really need to know all the triad shapes inside out to be able to even do the first exercise effectively, though.
Same picked up a cheap SE at guitar center anniversary edition with the double birds on the 12th fret didnt realize that until later, same color and it's excellent
I’m a new beginner. Had a brief learning phase when I was 16 for a few months but never went past learning a few chords. I’m 31 now and got my first electric. I’ve been able to follow you till 10:03 then I lost with the speed. Can you give any further suggestions on how should I be able to pull off the entire melody? Also perhaps you’ve tabs than I can follow along?
@@PURPLE_SHADE_SMOOTHIE so glad to hear it!! Thanks for letting me know 🎸🎶👏🎶🎸

A lot of these videos are like of meaningless but I really like your channel and the simple yet logical tips you give. I'll take a few weeks and focus on these things.
Excellent video,you really laid every thing out! But it can still sound formulaic.How do you take another step towards real melody, like for example Roy Buchanan's Sweet Dreams.One of the things I hear, is Roy bending INTO a melodic note or chord tone. For instance Django Reinhardt might play what is obviously an arpeggio,but doesn't sound contrived,it is genuine melody.
@@markmcmyn8967 one of the greatest ways to practice is to just play by ear every melody that you hear… jingles, pop songs, holiday tunes… just get used to re-creating melodies. Another great way to practice is to take a simple figure like a triad and come up with as many ways as you can think of to play it by varying the phrasing. Bending into the notes…sliding…Jeff Beck whammy bar scoops…just find different ways to make a statement. Get good at moving from “non chord” tones to chord tones - that’s the secret to creating real melodies. Tension and resolution
I kept thinking maybe I don’t know the pentatonic scales correctly- threw me off so glad to see someone else post. Great lesson @charlielongguitar thank you!
You showed three variations of the triads up the fretboard as if we should already know them, but didn’t explain how you found them… do you have a easy way we can find the triads up the fretboard?
Nice, but your throwing me off with your fret locations indicating where the first note starts and not where the Root is . ie @3:12 "Dm at the 5th fret", the root is on the 7th fret.

Thanks charlie for This really good vidéo
Wish you where near by me to put my practice up to moon 😊
You are describing my late Father only it was golf. Every month Golf Digest screwed him up more.
Is your pattern 3 at 8:47 incorrect? Should the 'E' note be and 'F'? ... or is that pattern 3 of Dm? ...great lesson!
11:20 Bed of Roses Bon Jovi
Great job! Are the tabs available on Patreon? I couldn't find them. Thanks from Brazil!
Very nice
Thank you ❤
Great lesson, but I think the graphic at 8.47 is wrong, that's not 3rd pos Dmin, but first pos Gmaj is it not? but your playing 3rd pos Dmin
I kept thinking maybe I don’t know the pentatonic scales correctly- threw me off so glad to see someone else post. Great lesson @charlielongguitar thank you!
