Susan, why wouldn’t anyone enjoy learning or doing scales? To me, as a beginner, I find them fascinating. It’s the easiest way to learn the Notes on the fretboard. Especially if you repeat the notes as you play them.
B/c for 90% of students, they start learning scales without any idea of the how/why to play them, so it's tedious, boring, etc. After falling into that trap for 25 years, (All solos I played were other folks' songs and was pure memorization) about a year ago I had the a-ha moment thanks to Justin and Marty and GuitarSage. And now I do find it fascinating and interesting.
I have been with you since last march, furloughed then made redundant, then got a job. You have inspired me to keep going. Not just on the guitar but with life in general. For that I thank you so much.
Bless his soul hey!.. he gives so much. I imagine his life must be fullfilling.. When you give so much laws of the universe give back.. and let me tell you , he 100% not only deserves all the THANKS & COMPLIMENTS all his subscribing friends give but everything else he deserves too... Love , money , abundance ( in all areas) happiness , health , etc etc... . God bless Justin foundation here.. lol.. Take care. Nice comment.. Rock on comrad.. 🎸🤘
Welcome to the world of very happy Justin watchers. It will take more than 12 months at least to see and attempt how much of him is on here and all from the heart for those who love to learn guitar Happy gleaning He is truly a highly qualified and good spirited tutor Enjoy and Gidday from Oz 🙂
Great lesson, best scale instruction to this newby. Nice & slow & easy to see what you doing & you explain EXACTLY where the fingers go! Thankyou for giving me some much needed confidence!
This was great video focusing on just this topic at hand. It lets me really sink this scale into my brain without messing about different modes and other stuff. Unbelieavably good teaching going on. Thank you Mr. Sandercoe
Thanks so much for this lesson Justin. I'm getting it and you are so right in insisting you learn it the correct way. I'm old and had no help in my younger days and I can vouch that it is hard to break old habits and retrain, but with repetition, I'm getting the sound and visual of scales. Thank you again.
Hi Justin, just wanted to say thanks bud. You’ve really added a new element and diversity to my playing. It really is endless in terms of knowledge a person can learn and achieve. Honestly you need passion and a true willingness to practice and it will come. You’re a good teacher dude and I thank you for making my journey fun and rewarding.
Thank you for this. Im a player that used to play 30 years ago, and I had to quit because my job gave me carpal tunnel syndrome. Now Im playing again and I find that my skills from before were all by ear and wrong. I also cant pick out the things I used to do. So this kind of thing is so appreciated by guys like me. You didnt forget where you cane from like some of the others that are talking to more advanced players. They just go right over our heads. Like the barred chords that you are playing.
Brilliant, Justin, thanks so much! You are my inspiration. On a side note, with this lesson. What I've found helped me is, once having learned to go forward - low G through to high G - I've then learned to go backward from the original starting point, from the low G, 6th string. BIT BY BIT, I mean, i.e., cover the first couple of strings going forward and then go back again. When I'm confident, then go a bit further and so on. Rather than learning to backward from the top...
This dude is unbelievable. I was searching for a Major Scale Guide and connecting it to the Major Scale and i finally found you. Then i was looking for the Paywall but i couldnt really believe you put all this information and this really nice teaching all for free. Its insane. Whoever watches this and learns make sure to subscribe and like because that is the least we can do for such an inspiring, organized teaching all for free. You are the man !
Taught this to myself by the noodling I constantly do. This and the minor pentatonic. Found it on my own. Don’t know any songs but learned how to fit in with most songs. Find the key and continue noodling. Feels right, especially after a few libations. I teach in an elementary school and tell my students what I learned, “Practice makes better!” Keep at it, you’ll get there... somewhere!
I had such a great time with the beginner guitar course that I went all in on practical theory, and I'm so glad I did. I've always been a musical thinker and took really naturally to putting music together, but I didn't understand the relationships or language around music theory. Thanks for putting these concepts into digestible, easy-to-get language. I always wanted to learn music theory, but I really struggled to find resources that could demystify the high-concept stuff without feeling super intimidated. It's so easy to say "I'll never be a composer so it's not a huge deal if I never get it." Thanks for telling my inner critic that I don't need to go to Berklee to learn theory!
SO GLAD you decided to do this lesson. Been playing for 3-4 years, and I'm familiar with the pentatonic patterns, but never learned the major scale! Love the lesson, and can't wait for the next in this series.. THANK YOU!

I first started playing over 18 years ago. Wow, writing that makes me realize I've wasted nearly 2 decades by not ever bothering to get in a good routine. Anyway- now I want to TRY and start over. From the beginning like I'd yet to pick up a guitar. There is no doubt in my mind, Justin is the right guide for this journey. Now I just have to sort through the lessons and hope to use them in a proper order!
Hi Justin been with you for a few years I started showing my cousin his first scales by golly I think he's starting to really like it I so want to thank you( will be sending you a little something Thanks Again Justin🎸
Justin, I love the analogy of the teenage time for you . I got that and am very impulsive and in a hurry to play 🎸and I am constantly frustrated. You put me in touch with that . Thank you 🙏 so much !!!. And i’am 73 😎
This is really cool, thank you. As a fellow teacher, one thing I really love about your teaching style is your understanding of the way we learn and memorize. One of my reasons for learning guitar is to grow my mental muscle and increase neuroplasticity. Your teaching style is totally aligned with that.
Much appreciated. :) | close 2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide [ www.justinguitar.com/ ] & Moderator on JustinGuitar Forum [ justinguitarcommunity.com/index.php ]
That was super cool! Very well put together demonstration. I've played guitar quite a while but it's been 25 years and then some since having any lessons on theory. And even at that I had never really gotten into putting scales to use in improvising lead guitar. I'm certain I knew many of the scales as a kid. I find myself playing them at times and recognizing the difference in them as it must had been something I was taught... lol! But for the life of me I just don't remember the details of what I'm actually playing. And I never got to the point of applying the scales to lead guitar around a given chord much less a chord progression. I learned to play some great lead parts to some of my favorite songs but I would had never really been able to compose my own lead guitar whatsoever. So this is really interesting and is totally revitalizing a knack to learn.. relearn this theory!
Thank you Justin. Profoundly grateful for the manner in which you tutor: always encouraging, not overwhelming. Soloing to me is daunting. Just freeze when I have to solo in time, and rhythm to a backing track. Soloing in swinging eights to any blues 145 backing track came almost naturally to me. Seems swinging eighth rhythm is something I was born with: probably the lullabies to put me off to sleep. Nonetheless, it is the other pop/rock rhythms that get me in a not, even the seemingly simple 4/4 and 3/4 timing.
Everbody has a different home base to start from. How you explore music, what your strenghts and weaknesses are and also, what your "rhythm in life" is... For you, that's quite literal :D explore how far this natural feleing can push you forward while you start off slowly but with care when it comes to the parts you find harder. As you can see here, not only your starting point but also your journey can be an endless exploration of ways to express yourself! www.justinguitar.com/site-map-and-lesson-structure | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Guide.
Thanks. I have been reluctant to improvise with the jam track. This video encouraged me to do it. It was so much fun. WOW. my daughter just complimented me.
I've already learned patterns 1 and 2 from you but looking forward to seeing the others! This series will be great as I'm really confused about making scales sound good.

Dude, you fill in so many missing pieces! Thank you so much. I can't tell you how much I have learned from you, wow.
Loving these new lessons and the new website Justin, thanks so much
I can't thank you enough for these lessons, loving learning again!
You are SO good at teaching, I can't believe how much I enjoy learning scales now. Thank you x100.

Brilliant, Justin, thanks so much! You are my inspiration.
