Get Over The Guitar Rut! How I did It
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- Most guitar players get stuck in a rut and end up losing interest or never being able to get over that hump. I will show you in this video the 3 things that really opened up the fretboard for me and allowed me to improve more than anything else I've ever tried. it's not endless scales, modes or anything else, it was simple concepts like moveable chords and noticing that everything connects together.

im 68 iv had a lot of instructors that just did not want to show you how to get on your feet an go .. they never even said any thing about triads CAGED 1-4-5 .. this is good information its usable this is the stuf you need to know thank you so much
This is great! Actually explains it in normal language and shows you the easiest way to do it! Very calm voice and seems sincere about his teaching. Thank you!
Thank you. I hope it helps. I really am trying to help people
Yes sir! Doing a great job!
Thank you
I just told my wife at dinner tonight that maybe I'm not meant to play lead. Had a southern rock and country band approx 30 years ago. I was lead singer and strummed open chords along with the band. About a year ago I decided to get to know my guitar again. I have poured my heart into learning scales etc but just stuck in a rut. Came in tonight turned on yt and there you were. I can tell that you mean it when you say......just reach out to me. Thank you so much! Don't know if I will get there but not quitting yet! Wish you much success! Subbed
Don't give up. It's not as hard as you think. And if you need something or have questions, just reach out to me and I'll try and help whatever way i can
Don’t quit… hang in there.
@daveyjones457 I was in a similar situation a few years ago. This gentleman tells you absolutely everything you need to know. Watch this video (and some of his others) several times and you will be very surprised at how quickly you will progress. I found that using backing tracks made a huge difference and not trying to play what has gone before but doing it my way. All the best.
Steve, do you know the caged system?
I learned the caged system, and with that the whole fretboard opened up and many things can come to your mind, it’s just automatic, and you understand how the fretboard pieces together, and lead becomes very fun! Or at least Caged has done that for me!
Agreed
Awesome insights. I'm 70 and have just picked the guitar up again after many years... trying to find my way around the fretboard.
You’ve just given me the map. Many thanks.
I really hope it helps. Let me know if you need anything
I'm 65 and I'm right there. Thank you for beein there. You've got a new subscriber. Merci beaucoup monsieur ;-)
Thank you
I like how your lessons are right to the point with really good explanations. I also like how you truly want people to understand. Some instructors spend way more time trying to show off rather than teach.
I'm not good enough to show off lol
The lesson i've been looking for forever this is the best thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely awesome ❤️ 👌
I would like that video on the modes based on the major scale. Started playing at 62, 3 years ago, and am trying to get things pieced together. Thanks
If you're asking for a video on modes I've linked it below. Let me know if I can help or if you get confused on something.

Here's also a video on why I only use 2 scales. Just in case you're interested.

You have an excellent approach to guitar playing. Especially helpful for older players. Keep it up!
Thank you
The A shape is the killer. You have major and minor chords under your fingers-no bent fingers for us arthritic eldsters. Once you have this, chords and key progressions get you making music. Add the BB and Albert boxes, and you are flying.
Great stuff, Davey. Thank you!
My pleasure.
I’m such a 4 chord player but I just found a lesson that makes sense to me. Now it’s practice practice practice time. Thanks my friend.
My pleasure. Let me know if I can help
I have come to terms with the guitar being a life long lesson of learning.. same as anything you are passionate with. CONTINUING TO LEARN is the key to life❤
Very well said
Thanks!
Please let me know if I can ever help with anything!
Thank you 😊
My pleasure
Thank you so much, your teaching method is great👍 I haven't found anyone who has explained navigating the major and minor scale the way you have, it has become so much clearer for me and I'll be working on this. Much appreciated Thank you ✌️
So glad it helps. Reach out of you need anything
Dave this is absolutely awesome brother. Thank you
My pleasure
thank you very much davey you helped me a lot
I'm so glad. I hope it was helpful
Ho 85 anni e mi Porsche molto, Grazie.
A really excellent lesson!
Davey Jones that is very helpful lesson. Thank you very much. Hope you post more like this.
Thank you, I will
Thank you you’re a good teacher
I don’t understand yet but the way you teach makes me feel there’s a chance and a reason to practice ❤
You can do it, just reach out to me if you need help
Nicely captured. I wasn’t sold until you went deep enough to tie the movable chord shapes to the scales. I like to incorporate the underlying arpeggios while improvising then some scale tones, maybe a few bends. One of my many short comings is I’ve never held myself accountable to a metronome and find it difficult to count while riffing. I watch alot of Guthrie Trapp and what you’ve outlined is similar to his way of visualization. Anyhow I enjoyed your tutorial and I can spot a musician
Thank you so much. Let me know if i can ever help
Thanks for your nice lesson you inspired me cuz I’m was on rut as well but watching you made reconsider doing better and doing exactly your advices
Thanks SO much
I really do hope this helps. If you get stuck, just reach out to me

Hey Davey, did you build your Barncaster? It sounds great. Excellent lesson! 🎸🤘😎
I did build this guitar. My favorite one to play lol
@ that’s so cool! 🤘🎸🔥
The C shape on the middle four strings is easy to move around. Just use all four fingers. I did this as a less than one year playing beginner.
kool
Wow ! Ok yeah you can use F shape and lay Major Chords down with ease !
Up and down the the neck hoo! Hoo ! Thanks again 😅
I find the best way to break a rut is to buy a new guitar! 😂 (but seriously, I’ll buy a new guitar or pedal or something…)
That's funny
Guilty.
Only just found your channel and this video. I’m a silver haired guitar player and I think I’m at the top of beginner but more likely into intermediate and have been playing for 4 years. I am also disabled and part of my disability is that I can’t take in a whole bunch of information at one time! The first part of the video on moveable chords was brilliant and certainly going to take that on board but the rest was too much and in any case, my fingers don’t move fast enough to be able to play lead guitar so is there any point in me trying to learn scales?
Thank you, first off, let me know if i can ever help. Secondly, you don't have to worry about playing fast to play Lead. There are alot of people who really only played lead inside of Chords. But either way, learning a few licks even if they're only played slow is still a step. Fast doesn't mean good. Choosing the right notes at a slower pace means more than being fast. Hope i can help
@@daveyjones457 thanks, Davey, for your reply and so quickly. Just shows you pay attention to the comments and that means a lot to your audience, I think. Much appreciated, no doubt I’ll be in touch going forward.
Just learn triads minor minor augmented diminished on string set EBG BGD GDA DAE. Be aware of the chord tones ROOT 3RD 5TH. way more organised learn them on all 4 3string sets.
A guy in my band plays entirely by ear cause thats just how he started many years ago. He plays better solos than me even though i know my major modes, pentatonics and movable chords/ triads. Most melody lines seem to be based on the third of the underlying chord. Even knowing that doesnt seem to help much.Ive come to the point where i am resigning myself to the fact that i now have to spend many hours listening to melodies and improving my ear like my other band member did over all his learning experience. Do you have any suggestions how to make that process quicker. Thanks
I would suggest mimicking... for example... i have a couple of videos where i play something and then you repeat it. This helps with the ear, because your seeing and hearing something and then trying to mimic what you're hearing... but honestly you can do this with any solo... since you know your scales, you have a leg up. Most Solos or licks are either in major or minor pentatonic. If you know the key they're playing in, then it's just a matter of hearing whether it's major, minor, or a mix of the two. Then you just take it one note at a time and see what they're playing. You'll end up just knowing what those notes sound like... another technique is to sing or hum what you're wanting to play... then trying to play what u sang... let me know if you need a video on this that might help. Stay in touch
I’m confused. I got 21 notes in the c scale your showing C D#orEb FF#orGb G A#orBb C D#orEb F F#orGb G F F#orGb G A# orBb C D#orEb 🤷🏾♂️ help
I'm confused as to what your asking i guess. If you're playing a scale day in C, once you get to the C note again, it just starts back over note wise. So I don't count that as different notes. I just think of it as the same notes an octave higher or lower. I guess I need clarification on exactly what you're asking.
What I’m saying is the c scale on the 8 fret goes C D# orEb F F#or Gb G A#or Bb then C so which is it 🤷🏾♂️. Help
So if you play the pattern on the 5th fret, you get the C major scale. C, ad, E, F, G, A, B...
If you play the same pattern on the 8th fret, you get the notes you're mentioning. That's the C minor scale.
Any major pattern moved up 3 frets gives you the minor scale. Just an easy way to be able to play both scales.
Ok appreciate you explaining 👍😊🎸
I subscribed where’s my guitar please?
I'll put your name on the list
F shape is the E shape, your just not playing the two low strings, and your still utilizing barring once you move it from first position.
No bar, maybe not paying attention.. Alohoho
if you choose to be professional you need to dig theory .it doesn't make you good technically playing guitar physically but thinking of music , harmonically , melodically and rhythmically inside and outside and makes you understand music better...and getting strong on harmony , melody, rhythm and techniques. Its hard...I barely find someone play with all this things .some are good rhythmically , some melodically,some harmonically not all can achive all those who achieved are performing on world class levels already... its hard but we can work and get better in our own speed and enjoy music ...if you think of shape you will sound mechanical instead think of intervals and it's function.. it will helps you better in note choices rather relying on muscle memory if you don't have clear idea on you head what you want to play then you rely on your finger and muscle memory hoping it will make good phrase and it doesn't....if you only learn major scale you get restricted to mostly diatonic harmony and you will never know the character of other scales music is not about just one scale ...different scales have different characteristics and make you feel certain way if any outside harmony thrown you will get lost ... playing same lick again and again you are not being creative it gets boring to hear the same lick repeating ...there are no short cuts it takes decades to get really good at it ...I have been playing for 35 years I was so eager to learn pentatonic in beginning time that it took me just 2hrs to memorize the five pentatonic shape but it took me years to develop meaningful phrase out of it ...scale is just alphabet to make musical phrase..
Really think you're completely misutaking what my point was and who this video was made for. I come from piano first, and understand all of the scales you're speaking of, but most people just want to play and enjoy the music, and you can do that without getting deep into theory. Glad you're so advanced, but this wasn't meant for you
