This sloppiness in your lessons is THE ONLY reason why I don't really get better at playing guitar. I'd be filling huge arenas by now, if I wasn't still struggling with G, G# and F#!
It's all your fault. Thanks for ruining a potentially more than promising career ;)
We all undermeant what you stood.
I'm new to learning the Fretboard and when I saw you name the wrong note, I was like, "NO!" lol. I guess I'm really learning. I couldn't understand how you could make that mistake when I knew it was wrong immediately. Oh, well, you did catch it though. I still love your lessons.
By far, you're my favorite teacher on RUclips.
Mi fav! Greetings from Argentina
Hey Brian, I'm a long long time subscriber, but rarely leave you comments and that's unfair to you, cause honestly, you're putting a lot of time and effort into this. I learned lots from you over the years, but I think this is probably the most important lesson you've done. The "drawers" idea is a fantastic way to explain this. My 2-cents is: go deeper into each of these drawers, perhaps do a few more lessons showing each drawer in-depth (including maj7, min7, dominant chords etc..), and demonstrate some in-depth ideas of each drawer, then do some lessons demonstrating how to "pick and choose" between all these drawers. This is truly a unique thing that I didn't see done on RUclips . Great stuff man. Thank you again.
Good idea
Very good idea just found this channel definitely subscribed and hit that like button thank you
Great lesson, I will be trying it out. Thanks..
@@activemelody please yes do this! i have been practicing nothing but this lesson and it has changed everything for me! If I could add minor chords and other scales like this I would pay anything for that! Thank you again for this!
It's so helpful to learn different ways of approaching new things, and that's where Brian shines.
It took me years and years to get this knowledge and you've pulled it together simply and masterfully. Bravo! Jules
It always amazes me how you can keep coming up with different and very relevant concepts every week all from basically 12 frets and a pick. Most people would have ran out of ideas years ago. Without a doubt the most gifted and passionate teacher on the internet - if you are interested in taking your playing further, then Active Melody is the only choice.
This is a lesson masterpiece, Brian. I was searching for a lesson like this since one year. Never found it on YT. Now you packed everything, that‘s needed, in 20 minutes. And it is so easy to understand. Awesome!
This is gold 🥇 🥇... Such an underrated channel! Thanks for the great lesson.
This was really good. Love the drawer analogy. Would love to see deeper dives into this.
Great lesson!!! E string, E shape. A string, A shape. D string, D shape. G string, G shape. B string, C shape. Love your honesty, humility, and insights.
Now this is what I call a real informative lesson !
I really hope you know how great this lesson is. There is such a large amount of synthesized information in this video that helped connect the dots for me. I've played for 17 years now and the layout and patterns of the fretboard have always been so confusing and hard for me to wrap my head around. Thank you!
Wow! This is a 1000W lightbulb moment for me. Thanks for making it so understandable. Now improvising over it is a whole different subject. Lol
Another well thought out lesson. Simple idea Brian but takes a lot of time and energy on your side. Crystal clear. Kind of decluttering. Profoundly grateful
Learning pentatonic scales and caged is what really changed my view of the fretboard. I can now improvise anywhere on the fretboard.
With finger picking blues getting thumb independence and fingers in synce took some time. It helped tremendously when I started moving to the groove. Tapping my heal to the beat of my thumb or moving similarly to Neil Young how he moves to the groove. I was then able to get the thumb to the beat with fingers picking away.
Thanks Brian you've helped me more than anyone or anything
Your last one turned on some lights for me....thanks brother
The MOST usefull lesson i could have found for my level thanks you so much teacher
Um ... I get it now. Wow. Thanks! Big lightbulb with flashes and a siren!
What a profound discovery/ technique,I think this should be written down in music theory
Soooo awesome just what I needed to organize the fret board mentally . This will know allow me to actually be able to play really play with anyone any time any song. Just pull out the draw for that key bang done leads cords rhythm lead all right there quick access . I am so stoked to be able to PLAY and not fumble and get lost and the nervousness off not be able to figure out what need quickly enough GONE !!! Thank you so so much so psyced!!
Very nice one. Your channel for me is a candy store for a kid. Thanks
This is a great lesson and led to several epiphanies in a very short amount of time.
One way to make things even simpler and easier to remember in the section on creating major chords based on where your note is, would be to use the string names instead of numbers. If your note is on the E string, you use the E-shape. If it’s on the A string, you use the A-shape, etc. The only tricky one is using the C-shape on the B string, but the B string is always wonky anyway.
Yes.. I wish I’d thought of that!
You did think of it. That's what I heard you saying!
@@activemelody I agree... you did think of it. I attached the modes to what you showed, and here is how I worked it out and have been practicing it...
Major
C - 2nd String - Phrygian
A - 5th String - Mixolydian
G - 3rd String - Aeolian
E - 1st String - Ionian
D - 4th String - Dorian
now I need to figure out the same for minor chords and which modes...
3:16 G would be on the 5th fret 4th string(D).
Never heard that cool info about caged sistem and strings in my life. Incredible
Great lesson!!!...one of the best teachers on the tube,,,,,thx!!
brother your videos are a work of art
thank you for your content it is truly incredible
I just started learning the minor pentatonic scale over the neck. I learned the major pentatonic over the neck years ago and just kept practicing it over and over. I always knew the minor and major pentatonic were the same exact shapes, just that the root location would change so i never really sat down to learn the minor map of roots and triads. Now i finally started to memorize the minor version's R, minor 3rd, 5ths.
Its very cool how everything is always there, and really all you are ever doing by learning is updating the map in your mind so your mind can see the scales. So now I can play any diatonic chord progression, and i know where the minor or minor penta is under any note and have a map of what i can play that will work.
First was the general shapes of the pentatonic boxes. Then the roots. And now i'm trying to find triads as "safe" spots to land on while improvising to backing tracks.
He does a lesson on 'what notes to emphasize' during a solo that will help you find the 1, b3, 4, and 5 in the minor/major pentatonic scales so you have good guide and chord tones when soloing in a 12 bar blues as an example. Be sure and look that up. It will propel you further along.
This is so good, Brian, thank you! Such a true light-bulb moment for me. Well, really moments, not just a moment. As always, so glad I’m a premium member on Active Melody. Definitely printing out the material you put together for this lesson and will put some real work into it.🌟
You are a great player.
I am so glad you refer to making a note "flat" rather than using the term "flatten". (Pet peeve is hearing people talk about "flattening" and "sharpening" notes.)
All the notes on your guitar are legal to play, whether you can name them instantly or not. That will come with study, practice and time. So in any key, scale or chord, if you play the 'wrong' note just know the 'right' or 'better' note is one fret away up or down. Get there asap and with style and it sounds musical and intentional- especially if you restate your so-called mistake as if that's exactly what you meant. This is also the Victor Wooten philosophy. Check out his music on the bass. It is eye and ear-opening.
Thank you. Keep shining the light on this.
You've helped me a ton.
You certainly have a talent for explaining your lesson.
Wow! I'm so glad I'm a premium member. You give so much.
Every lesson on Active Melody is a game changer! This one is a sure eye opener! 🙀🎵💕
This is brilliant. Thank you.
Sensational lesson, Brian! Putting all connections into one video in an understandable fashion! Thanks so much!
At about 11 mins you played A minor scale, the graphic was A major. Really useful concept, thank you.
Your lightbulbs are slowly illuminating the world
Thanks so much for the lesson really informative your guitar savvy and ability to look at things from different angles are unquestionable your generosity is also much appreciated you must have put a lot of hours and effort into that🙏
Excellent excellent lesson! 👏👏👏 I’ve been studying and gradually absorbing the power of the caged system with your help. Of all the caged lessons on YT this one is unique and gold since it relates the caged chord shape, scales, etc to the root note on the applicable CAGED string (as long as you can “see” the root on the B string as C shape). I saw this connection when first learning CAGED but nobody ever teaches it this way (except Brian at Active Melody). BTW all you lessons have helped me immensely in learning and using CAGED. 👍🏼👍🏼
THIS lesson quite literally is the Rosetta stone of the guitar right here. Brilliant! I’m headed off to my premium account right now to download the materials to start the load of work in really understanding and using this concept.
I have never seen this anywhere connecting CAGED to the named strings! Thanks very much!
You're the best Brian. Explain things so well
Love your lessons!!! And that cap is 🔥
10,000 thumbs up! I've been trying to figure all this sttuff out all my life. Thank you so much!
Please do some follow up lessons applying this. Overrkill is fine!
Another great and helpful video!
Such an eye-opener. Thank you for this lesson.
Every time I see that hat I think, cool hat Brian. Great lesson!
Great lesson. Quite the eye opener. If I could give you two 'thumbs up' I would. 👍👍
Effective Efficiency and not needing to look at the fretboard while singing or soloing, etc...
Thanks for your time and help I really appreciate all that you do
Keep it up Brian, and the Secret Knowledge of Guitar Police will be rapping at your door! Thank You!
Best explanation by far.
Cool hat Brian
An amazing thing about the guitar
Awesome way to look at it and to explain. Knew that stuff but haven't looked at it from that angle really. Thanks.
I’m going to give this a try
Thanks for your help
I’m hoping this is my breakthrough
awesome "drawer" analogy of the caged system😀
Very good lesson, merci.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and Brian. On the second day, God created the guitar.🎸
Mind blowing, but I suppose that it stands to reason (once you have had your eyes and ears opened) that if you can find all the beginner cowboy chords in the bottom three frets, you can also find them in any set of three frets! Great lesson.🎸
Good Lesson
Loving the John Lennon look!
You are a really great teacher
Thanks Brain Tremendous help, I'm trying to connect the dots and this does just that
This is awesome Brian
This is an incredible lesson. Thank you
Game changer! Great lesson, thanks
This is a masterpiece in understanding and connecting concepts. I swear all my largest jumps forward have involved your work and teaching lately. Thank you for what you do!
Also...is there a same concept for this for minor chords? I'm sure its very obvious if there is, but it eluding me.
Brian thanks a million!!! If you do a follow up on the five drawers would you please include the diagram of what caged shape chord to play per string? I think every one would value and appreciate it. Thanks again you are awesome.
Great lesson, thanks Brian!
I love the lesson and u think that is the best lesson so far this year and I was wondering about how to practice the cage system interms of speed and exange BTW the systems
Thank you Brian
Great lesson. Thank you. Love the hat btw
Very fantastic lesson Brian. I enjoyed the end of the video discussion on Drawers. I will mention that your graphic at 10:50 shows an Major Diagram while you were intending to show a Minor Diagram. I've completed your intro courses on you website, I think I just wish there had been a lesson designated in the course on the Minor Caged patterns. But, I know you've done many lessons on those so I will go through and get them in the brain!
Great lesson.. Thank you! I was introduced to a 3 shape method using F, D, and A shapes on the first 3 strings. This helped me simplify the CAGED concept for soloing. I wonder if you have experience with this system and could compare them to expose any benefits or shortcomings. Sometimes the G and A shape , as well as the D and C shape get confused because they are basically joined. Thanks Brian !
Great lesson
Super solid lesson, Thank you 😊
Very helpful Thank You.
Brilliant
If you could expand on the drawer idea that would be great!
Much appreciated!
Great stuff😊
9:06 Here’s a nemonic if you want to remember the order of the shapes based on the strings. From 1 to 5, “Edgar can get a date.“
Brilliant insight, a deeper dive on each chord shape sounds a good idea
C - 2
A - 5
G - 3
E - 1
D - 4
Brian, the 4th string notes you named were all wrong, you started on F# and called it a G, great lesson as always, thanks.
Thanks - I’ve pinned a comment about this!
Amazing
Do you have a lesson or series on learning the cage sys?
Superb; to reply, what fits under four frets-the span from tonic to relative minor notes?
Fantastic - as ever. Thanks. Do you use an app to create the chord sheets?
Also, wrt 5:22 The Formula for creating major chords by the string you're on. I look at it kind of the reverse of your explanation by using the note names for the open string tuning (but move string 2 up a semi tone as you do when moving from strings 3 to 2) so instead of the normal EADGBE for the open strings you then have EADGCE which are then the CAGED shapes required for the Major chords for the root found on that string, i.e. if the root note is on string 4, then you would use the D shape etc. - I'm sure you can describe it better than me.
Could you recommend me a chanel where they put the diagrams as if I'm looking to another guy playing guitar in front of me? So I don't have to flip my guitar to match your diagrams m it's hard to do it that way
nobody does it that way
Interesting video Brian. Thanks for that, an eye opener .
I am wondering : I have a song in the key of E flat ( a jazz standard)
It is imo not comfortable playing it in the 11th fret position ( my jazzbox is an non cutaway type) as the tonica is there on the first and sixth string.
Should it be handy to go to the forth fret position A flat and find my E flat major7 there ?
Best regards from the Netherlands
Albert.
Yeah man, you can play that E flat anywhere
hey , i cant find the 6 and 5 string note name video
As Always Brian great lesson...however at the beginning when your showing how to find off of the 5th fret, i believe you missed the G by a fret on the 4th string..i understood the lesson but someone just learning may not know and may confuse them...just pointing it out...very rarely you make a mistake. I used to stop and start your videos and go off of every word so just giving you a heads up in case someone asks...
Yes. I pinned this at the top of the comments
Caged the key for everything. Also to build the triads?
👍 yes
Next step, maybe shord tones soloing? with the help of triads perhaps, would be a nice follow-up to this lesson.
I learned something new with this lesson. Thank you Brian
@@activemelody
Is that a vintage ES150 or maybe ES175? Anyone know
It’s a 175 from the early 50s
I'm still failing what is pentatonic scale? Or what is the difference between major scale and pentatonic scale?
Pentatonic is 5 of the 7 notes from the major scale. That's it. It's the diatonic scale with only the 5 "best" sounding notes
If you’re good with your neighbor(s) you can resolve anything.😉✌️
The problem with the CAGED method is that the chord shapes are largely unusable, and so even if you understand the system for navigation purposes you still need extra knowledge of how to form pleasing and functional chords to get much use out of the whole thing.
this is genius but the essential problem for most people is nobody is willing to go through the pain of learning all the names of the notes and where they are. This stems from teenagers just showing each other chords As shapes and simplistic Pentatonix. You're talking about a 50 year history of people learning by ear from records. Unfortunately that's the history of guitar learning and playing. 99% of people have never done or wants to do this sort of work.
Now.. how do kids who play so well on RUclips do it? They probably don't understand all this theory.. or do they?
Nonsense talk 😊
