    Thanks for the FRETASTIC link. I recognized all of the online fretboard clips you showed because I have also been searching for fretboard training charts. I've even written a few of my own fretboard tools. I took a quick look at this one and it does seem nice. One small thing, the pentatonic box numbers are not the same as the standard ones.
    Something worth checking out is the POW Music videos. He uses some great fretboard animations for illustrating licks.

      It's a combination of things. Use Reaper. Don't install updates. Ask for stems if you have incompatible software. And most importantly, take backups! I've got all my projects backed up in three places and I've had to dig into them more than once.

And truth be told it's not untrue the stuff you teach is incredibly worded and truly helps to break down not only music theory and the song writing aspects but it's truly an inspiration and gets me in the mood to try and write stuff with the stuff I've learned.

    One of the best scale applications video ever! That song is so catchy it reminds me of The Beatles, Frank Zappa and Ben Levin for sure 😄
    Would still love to know how you made the scale sound musical.
    I have another question Jake and would love your help: I get lots of delay from my focusrite 2i2 3rd ed interface and I hear from different sources that I have to create 2 tracks in ableton 1audio in auto so the sound can be heard and a 2nd audio on off and to copy&paste the first audio onto the second track so there is no delays (still getting some so I will try lowering the buffer size too)
    What interface are you using to track your guitars and also how you deal with delays (settings), would love your help Jake.
    Also thanks for persevering through that whole Daw ordeal, great lesson and without your will we wouldn't get this awesome song that I didn't even know I would cherish so much. I LOVE EVERYTHING HERE and your vocals are so awesome because they create a sense of familiarity and also they're well done! thanks for the scale recommendation 😀 best ever 👍!!!

And I've been looking for something exactly like this to aide me in playing along with my guitar. Perfect timing.

    thank you.
    I was buying the guitar pro 7.5 version software just for scales and keys and this comes up....I didn't wanna spend so much just for scales under one platform.....thank you so much.

    unfortunately the cool features (backing tracks, 3nps and CAGED scale shapes) now cost money :(
