Guitar has been a hobby for over 55 years. I have been subscribed to many of the internet and patreon sites for years. This is the best most usefull lesson I have ever gotten. I had already learned about the major, minor and blues scales individually but no one had ever put them on one chart and then showed you how to use them together !! This one lesson takes my ability and knowledge to a whole new level. Thank You so much !!!
I am 60 and just retired a few years ago. The wealth of info on RUclips is overwhelming BUT you've a gift for teaching. I've found I can put your lessons to use instantly ! Thank you from an Old Arizona dog learning new tricks.
This was one of the most inspiring videos I have ever watched on RUclips!! Several views caused so many lightbulbs to illuminate, I was completely blown away by my personal progress in just several days. Thank you so, so much for this awesome information .... brilliant!!!
Thanks for this, this is the first lesson that SHOWED the two scales combined together, rather than just the Pentatonic Minor and the Pentatonic Major separately, making it difficult to visualize. This lesson finally combined the two of them visually, and gave me that "Ohhhhhhh" moment I've been waiting for.
This is the lesson I've been looking for, I really have had trouble understanding how to blend minor and major pentatonic scales, now I understand a lot more, thanks. 👍
Just came across your channel for the first time. You've got some absolute gold in these videos for a player who knows some basics, but is looking to develop. Serious amount of info and ideas in your videos, well explained and to the point. No chaff at all. Well done mate.
Possibly the most useful & chock ‘o’block lesson full of tips & technique I’ve every come across. You lost me at the double stop section but I know I’ll be able to get my hands wrapped around it in a week or so. Thanks so much for giving so much back to the advanced beginner community, Jules. Cheers from 🇨🇦
Jules your Blues Lessons are Top Notch . The way you explain how and why you're doing each idea gives us a fighting chance of Learning how to play the Blues if we practice these concepts. Thanks for the great content.
I love your style Jules. Thank you for the not too slow not too fast way of teaching. This opened up a whole new world for me, so fun! … and I’ve been looking at diagrams this way for decades, I hope you don’t change it. Cheers 👍
Superb video! I like the positioning of the graph because it then mirrors the actual neck as well as your fretting that is occurring just above it. Moving the vertical lettering of the strings, E, A, D, G, B, E to the right side, along with darkening and/or thickening the far right vertical line to make it look like the nut, would make it a perfect diagram.
You started a Excellent utube channel your easy to understand and follow. You have a genuine passion overflowing with energy and real enthusiasm for music, making you a Excellent guitar teacher! Cheers Jules thanks from Australia
Really Great lesson!! Keep them coming. Really opened up the fretboard for me and allowing me to come up with my own licks on the fly and melodic. Rather than getting stuck following scales.
Fantastic lesson. Just came across your channel today and have subscribed on this lesson alone. However, like some others I'm having some difficulty following the diagram. As an old fart, I think it's when I see the strings named vertically ( E A D G B E), I equate this to the position, or direction, of the nut. A minor quibble as I can easily follow along in the video. Great stuff.
Wow, this lesson is a perfect study for me! I really appreciate how you put so many nuggets in this one video. This is super super impressive and I thank you Jules so much! You have me as a subscriber now and I am looking forward to checking out more of your channel. You are a top notch teacher Jules!! Thank you for sharing!! 💓🙏😊
Hi Jules It's a great lesson and I really enjoyed it. Only comment is that the diagram seems to be a mirror image of how you would normally display the notes on the fret board!!!!
very interesting with some nice easy licks to get out of it. Could not make the most of it with the upside down and back to front diagrams confusing me.
The last chord is just waow ! If you have short fingers it can be dangerous lol ... Thank you teacher ,a very good lesson with that typical aristocratic english accent : double music !!
Outstanding no-nonsense content and delivery, many thanks and greatly appreciate your efforts... However, I too am having a bit of difficulty transposing your charts in my brain as well and would appreciate your consideration to flip/reverse them to the historically (like forever) 'standard' view going forward. Beings you play right handed, I'm not gettin what your puttin down..... Just gotta remember to turn off my screen auto-rotation (when I can) watching your vids.... DOH! A bit off topic but have you ever heard of 'Jules and the Polarbears'? That was the first thing that came to my mind when I first saw your channel. Jules Shear and company released 2 obscure, little known classic rock albums in the late 70's, 'Got no breeding' and 'Phonetics', both quite unique and well worth the listen... Have patience and hear them thru to fruition if you ever get the opportunity.
Cheers dude, I figured out some of this myself by listening and experimenting, but this fills in the gaps, and will be very helpful, and I'll be referring back to this a lot over the coming Days / Weeks. 🙂
Absolutely superb young man. The Brits are back in the blues lessons stakes. Great tutorial, any chance you could boost up to Glesga and give me a few ftf. !! Well done. Keep them coming.
This teaching method of teaching is excelent. some theory, licks, double stops, what to do over certain chords, and then you put it together with a solo. I actually 'learned a lot" from this lesson and keep going back to it. Do you have the link to the backing track you used.
Love your lessons. Just wish you could change the diagrams to look like you're looking at the fret board from the players view point. High E string on top and low E on the bottom. Also the fret numbers are too small to read even if I turn on full screen view with my 20 inch monitor. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Excellent lesson. Can I respectfully suggest the diagram perspectives be reversed to show left to right.

Beauty of Music man, you will never in your lifetime learn all there is to it. Such is the nature of creativity, music is never boring.
This was one of the most inspiring videos I have ever watched on RUclips!!
Several views caused so many lightbulbs to illuminate, I was completely blown away by my personal progress in just several days.
Thank you so, so much for this awesome information .... brilliant!!!
GREAT LESSON. No fluff, just solid information to move your playing forward. Thanks so much!!
Thanks for this, this is the first lesson that SHOWED the two scales combined together, rather than just the Pentatonic Minor and the Pentatonic Major separately, making it difficult to visualize.
This lesson finally combined the two of them visually, and gave me that "Ohhhhhhh" moment I've been waiting for.
That is the single most informative lesson on mixing the major and minor blues scale.
Excellent way to view these scales! Thank you
Best Blues soloing theory lesson I have ever watched, you demonstrate and explain what notes to play and why so well, thank you
This is the lesson I've been looking for, I really have had trouble understanding how to blend minor and major pentatonic scales, now I understand a lot more, thanks. 👍
Wonderful lesson....but the diagram specular in the direction of the neck, hard to read, in my opinion.
Same here 🤘😄
Love it. I'm a lefty.
Glad it’s not just me! 😀 I only looked at the comments as I was thinking ‘is it me!’ 😂
Agreed the neck diagram really confused me!
@@billycramer8066 Me too. Finally, lefty friendly diagrams!!!
What can I say? Phenomenal!!! You have shown us some much incredible info.
Just came across your channel for the first time. You've got some absolute gold in these videos for a player who knows some basics, but is looking to develop.
Serious amount of info and ideas in your videos, well explained and to the point. No chaff at all. Well done mate.
Finally someone who’s teaching me blues…love it!!
Great. Just what I've been looking for. Could you flip the diagrams in future though? I was puzzled at the first one for while before I realised 😄
I will make screendumps and flip them so I can see the diagrams in the usual way,
Possibly the most useful & chock ‘o’block lesson full of tips & technique I’ve every come across. You lost me at the double stop section but I know I’ll be able to get my hands wrapped around it in a week or so. Thanks so much for giving so much back to the advanced beginner community, Jules. Cheers from 🇨🇦
I learned more stuff from your videos in one week than I did the last 10 years by myself. 👍
Can only . Wicked . Awesome tutorial. Beautiful playing and teaching again sir. Thank you for your time and skill . Again thank you
Jules your Blues Lessons are Top Notch . The way you explain how and why you're doing each idea gives us a fighting chance of Learning how to play the Blues if we practice these concepts. Thanks for the great content.
This is GOLD ! Finally somebody who can explain this with great examples. I'm gonna subscribe!
Very precious lesson of blending minor and major pentatonic blues. Thank you very much Chief. Cheers from Indonesia.
Jules, you are a brilliant teacher! Thank you.
Perhaps the most fun video I've seen...Great Job!
Awesome lesson Jules this is exactly the kind of lessons I was looking for, you show and explain what you’re doing and not just showing off
I throughly enjoyed this lesson...Your teaching made it easy to understand and to follow...Many thanks for sharing 👍
I love your style Jules. Thank you for the not too slow not too fast way of teaching. This opened up a whole new world for me, so fun!

I've been really enjoying your blues & scale lessons. Thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge.
This is an excellent lesson....really puts it all together for me in an easy to understand way. Your approach is helping me to improve. Thank you .
Wonderful lesson Jules. Thanks a lot for taking the time to put this great lesson out! Among the best!
You started a Excellent utube channel your easy to understand and follow. You have a genuine passion overflowing with energy and real enthusiasm for music, making you a Excellent guitar teacher! Cheers Jules thanks from Australia
Really Great lesson!! Keep them coming.
Really opened up the fretboard for me and allowing me to come up with my own licks on the fly and melodic. Rather than getting stuck following scales.
Must agree, Great lesson, but hard to read charts the opposite way to what we normally see.
Screenshot then flip and rotate
Stand on your head and look at it through a mirror,!
Use Jimmy Hendricks guitar!
Fantastic lesson. Just came across your channel today and have subscribed on this lesson alone.
However, like some others I'm having some difficulty following the diagram. As an old fart, I think it's when I see the strings named vertically ( E A D G B E), I equate this to the position, or direction, of the nut.
A minor quibble as I can easily follow along in the video.
Great stuff.
Auf deine Videos habe ich eine gefühlte Ewigkeit gewartet. Jetzt gehen viele Lichter auf,viele Fragen finden eine Antwort. Tiefsten Dank.
Great lesson and I like your style of breaking it down to useful notes for the situation.
You've really got that down. It looks like so much fun.
That's what I thought about yesterday, the combined scales, and bumm, here it is. Thanks a lot!
Fantastic video Jules!
Excellent lesson! Thanks for the basic approach that makes these concepts accessible to anyone.👍🏻
This is awesome, definitely the best video I’ve seen on this subject
Jules is a fantastic teacher!
Great lesson; I’ve been doing some of this, but until your explanation, had no frame to understand it. Thank you!
The best tutorial i've ever met... thanks
Wow, this lesson is a perfect study for me! I really appreciate how you put so many nuggets in this one video. This is super super impressive and I thank you Jules so much! You have me as a subscriber now and I am looking forward to checking out more of your channel. You are a top notch teacher Jules!! Thank you for sharing!! 💓🙏😊
Fantastic. I’ve always been trying to mix major and minor. Now I know how.
Thanks for posting this!
Can’t wait to try this out
Hi Jules where can I download your backing tracks from. Your a great teacher Jules thank you so very much Regards Richard
Fascinating. Really helpful. You put in a lot of eminently usable stuff. Thick with things to play right now.
Hi Jules
It's a great lesson and I really enjoyed it. Only comment is that the diagram seems to be a mirror image of how you would normally display the notes on the fret board!!!!
Great lesson but, as others have mentioned, the inverted diagrams are incredibly confusing…
Great Lessons Jewels.
Thank You !!!
very interesting with some nice easy licks to get out of it. Could not make the most of it with the upside down and back to front diagrams confusing me.
Very nice lesson good stuff thanks buddy 😎👍👌💯🎸🎸
I love your knowledge and teaching style. Great lesson.
Fantastic lesson Jules! Thank you, really helps!
Dude you literally took my guitar laying to the next level.
Good lesson, but the diagram's upside down and back to front. It needs to be rotated 180 degrees.
Great lesson, thank you. Is there a reason yout charts are mirrored both vertically and horizontally? I find this realy counterintuitive.
Excellent lesson! The diagrams were a bit hard to follow at first because they’re opposite of how the fretboard appears when you’re playing guitar.
I got the same problem!
The last chord is just waow ! If you have short fingers it can be dangerous lol ...
Thank you teacher ,a very good lesson with that typical aristocratic english accent : double music !!
Excellent lesson Jules, thank you, but I do suggest you rotate the fingerboard charts around into the conventional orientation. Best wishes!
I have tolerance to this first. Super high content density. Thanks.
Are any of your lessons on acoustic guitar? They'd be welcomed.
Outstanding no-nonsense content and delivery, many thanks and greatly appreciate your efforts...
However, I too am having a bit of difficulty transposing your charts in my brain as well and would appreciate your consideration to flip/reverse them to the historically (like forever) 'standard' view going forward. Beings you play right handed, I'm not gettin what your puttin down.....

yes, I had that problem also with the charts...lol... just another mind shift...☺
You are a amazing teacher, thank you so much 🙏
THE BEST TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree I had to look at a couple of times to see that he actually had the guitar in the wrong orientation
Cheers dude, I figured out some of this myself by listening and experimenting, but this fills in the gaps, and will be very helpful, and I'll be referring back to this a lot over the coming Days / Weeks. 🙂
What a great lesson. You are a gifted instructor. Can you publish the link to the backing track?
Yes, thank you so much for all these great lessons 🙂. It would be great to have a link to the backing tracks.
Fantastic video, keep them coming!
Shapes upside down. Finally realised. Very difficult. Turn em round
Great lesson Jules!
Your lessons are great!! Thank you for sharing!
Hey Jules, your videos are splendid. But why i think your scale charts is turned awkwardly.
Great lesson my friend
Super lesson 👌
Great job sir. 👏👏
Have the exact same guitar and I love it🙏🏼
So well done, man (or mate, I guess they would say in Britain). These are very useable riffs. I'm heading over to your channel for a look around!
Great tutorial- can we download the backing track anywhere, please?
Absolutely superb young man. The Brits are back in the blues lessons stakes. Great tutorial, any chance you could boost up to Glesga and give me a few ftf. !! Well done. Keep them coming.
Excellent, very well explained, appreciate the tab..
What do you achieve by shaking the neck back and forth?
This teaching method of teaching is excelent. some theory, licks, double stops, what to do over certain chords, and then you put it together with a solo. I actually 'learned a lot" from this lesson and keep going back to it. Do you have the link to the backing track you used.
Great guitarist man
Ever do a 12bar note for note?
Hint hint
I like your playing & A is perfect
Love your lessons. Just wish you could change the diagrams to look like you're looking at the fret board from the players view point. High E string on top and low E on the bottom. Also the fret numbers are too small to read even if I turn on full screen view with my 20 inch monitor. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
He be the Man.
Great stuff.
Was that last chord in your intro the same as the opening intro of Hard Days Night by the Beatles? 😎👍🏻
Hey Jules, great lesson mate. It's really helped me with that major minor combo. What backing track are you using?
I made my own track, but these concepts should work with any 12 bar in A.
@@JulesGuitar Thanks Jules. Loving your content by the way 👍
@@JulesGuitar scale patterns hard to read.
Like the way you explain, great lesson! tx
Keep up the great content!
Very very helpfull for me. Thank you.
