Steve is not a Guitar Teacher..... he is a Guitar Interpreter. I've been struggling to play and understand guitar for years. I am very thankful finding this guy by chance. I cant get enough of your lessons... they are sooooooooo comprehensive. You have another fan... Cant thank you enough
I've bought some of his lessons but am a little disappointed that i keep being bombarded with more stuff every day.... Some of the packages seem to double up on stuff you already have as a package. It's a little off putting. I think Dan is the business man and pushes that but I'm sure Steve has his heart in the right place, just it can get confusing after buying one set of programs thinking you have everything the a week later they are telling you we got this and we got that... It made me feel that i had;nt bought the whole package that i wanted in the first place
Before I watched this video, all I see was a 'box' of one pentatonic position on the fretboard. And within 10mins this guy just unlocked my brain. Awesome knowledge.
Agreed. Indeed, as both a teacher and a guitar player, I have to say I'm really impressed. Steve, your actually giving pointers on how to do both! Keep up the amazing work!
Probably the best guitar teacher in the world, simple communication and explanations combined with an innate knowledge and ability...Mr Stine...you are superb sir...I salute you.
A-C-D-E-G! It takes time to visualize all positions, and be able to link them. One needs always to keep in mind where the root is. But once that is acquired, it is essential knowledge for soloing. Great lesson. Tip: start with pos 1 and 2 only, and fully master these, before adding positions.
Fabio Punk yes good hint... he is always talki g about the A as root . what if i have a song in key of G and wanna do a solo , i have to play with root G in those scales but the pentatonic shapes always stay the same dhape at same position right? or for example shape 1 can be played anywhere or always have to be played at A ?? sorry for the confussi g question but im confused also xD ahha
Steve's style of teaching is excellent! People who really know things can explain it very simplistically. This is a really useful video for explaining getting out of the box.
a lot of guitar "teachers" here in youtube are either stuck in technical methodology, more so, stupidly showing off, just to make themselves look superior. But you Steve, you are something else...you are a HIGH-CLASS teacher...I wish they could follow your footsteps.Kudos man!
Pretty amazing stuff Steve! Your technique and the way you explain the fret board is so much better than I've sen before. Thank you for sharing this with so many of us that get frustrated because we can't seem to connect all the dots.
@ 61 years old I just started playing guitar about two months ago. THIS IS THE CONTENT THAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!! Thank you & please post more of this same subject. The scale shapes blending. Great stuff!!!
Steve, I picked up a guitar 2-years ago at the age of 57, and I have made amazing progress because of you! I purchased a Taylor 414ce, after a year, wow, much easier to play. I just want to tell you, I think what I enjoy the most about you (besides sharing your talent) is your professionalism. No doubt you are highly educated, and a great example for young folks. I learned chords, but you make theory bring it all together! Thank you for your time!

You have made things very easy and clear for many of us, I get to practice some thing new everyday and more importantly FUN because of you and the way you explain them. Kudos STEVE!!!
Funny how the 3rd position is your fav position and mine too but for much different reasons. Mine is because I Cannot do a 4 fret stretch and never will in the first 2 positions. lol Adapting your technique and perspective on theory has helped me work around my physical limitation so much! Thanks, Steve from SH on Zoom!
You're a natural at teaching, Steve. Thank you! You're helping me glue together fragments of knowledge that I've collected over years of playing but never fully understood, so now it's useful to my playing. Keep up the great work!
I don't understand how these videos have only a handful of views, this is really good information that people are not seeing.. Steve, I can learn something new every time I watch your vids, whether they're new or old. Thanks for all of the info, keep shredding!
I wanted to thank you because that just helped me with the opening up the mental visualization of combining the scales. I've been having trouble connecting them but I wasn't thinking about them as being the same note just repeated. I'm still learning to connect them but this definitely put it into perspective. Thanks again.
im very grateful for that lesson, i´ve been always thinking on how to expand my moving through the fretboard and not going out of the same scale. Greetings from Chile! you rock!
Steve: for THIRTY FIVE YEARS!!! I have been trying to conceptualize this. Video after video, if it didn't just resonate in the first few minutes, I'd get the old " that's-it-guitar-is-just-meant-for-others" mentality back into my mind. Tonight--after another several-years sabbatical from my 37 year-old guitar.....the light bulb came on. I can't even describe the euphoria right now as i blaze (ok--crawl) up and down the fret board. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Same here. Others just slap EVERYTHING on my face and trying to explain everything at once. Steve would break them down into pieces and teach them in his own words/pattern which makes much much more sense.
I think your gift is that instead of approaching the guitar like any instrument...your use of verbiage and coloring in ideas meshes perfectly with any self-teaching player. Your thoughts are valid in my mind as I am 'figuring out the guitar' instead of 'playing an instrument'. If that makes any sense. Thank you. Awesome videos.

Well done mate. i was struggling all the time to figure out the concept of pentatonic scale, not to learn it, but how to use it properly. This is really incredible tutorial "from the first hand".Great thing about it is it fits well in every style of playing.
Steve, my man. You are an awesome teacher. I had been struggling for remembering the scales. Now, it all makes sense. Finally, the dots are connecting. Thanks.
Wow Steve. Passed by your videos many times over the years but I finally watched. You're a real blessing bro. Thanks a bunch. You got a new fan. . . and sub!
That's amazing instruction as to visualize the fretboard as puzzle pieces. I've self studied the guitar for so many years, like torn pages of the book (not very well), yet you make it summarize it into my own book. Great job Steve! Thanks!
Holy crap! It just clicked. I had the knowledge but couldn't quite throw down a constant solo. Nw I can actually play, lol. Thank you so much man. You are a real hero.
yeah only staying in the first and second position until I master those. Messed up on my typing on previous post. I meant to say I am a beginner and Steve has taught me a lot.
Wow ! , I absolutely love your instruction - You are INDEED a master player and - for sure - a GREAT TEACHER - MANY THANKS for ALL the knowledge you share - If I can only pick up 1/2 of what you reach - I will be much better player myself 👍👍✌️✌️✌️😊
Thanks you Steeve for your tubes.... Tryed everywhere to hunderstand those pentatonics and for the first time a real one shoing real stuff... (techincal) It fit with me the way you show it :) Thanks a lot... Hope someday I will reach a reasonable way to play ;)
I'm not sure I like the same music as you, but I sure like your teaching! I always come back to your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in a crital clear way.
Pebber Brown unfortunately no matter how good you are and how much you try to help people your always gonna have haters, it's just the world we live in now. Sad really.
Hi Steve...we really thank you for sharing this guitar skills to us....now I'm getting back my interest to study guitar sclae again because of this guitar lesson video...keep it up bro....
Awesome lesson as always! Very illuminating. I'm new to guitar, loving it, I have the 5 positions of the E minor pentatonic memorized and will endeavor to use this concept with E, and start working on A also. Thank you!! Keep on rockin'
Join GuitarZoom Facebook group. You'll be glad you did. Unfortunately I can't afford to buy any of his classes as of yet, due to 3 children & a wife who likes to spend, so I use his free RUclips classes, I've come 5yrs in just a few short weeks. Amazing teacher, best there is hands down.

I cant get enough of your lessons... they are sooooooooo comprehensive. You have another fan... Cant thank you enough
Paul Palmeri - Totally agree, this Steve dude is by far the best guitar teacher I've seen.
I've bought some of his lessons but am a little disappointed that i keep being bombarded with more stuff every day.... Some of the packages seem to double up on stuff you already have as a package. It's a little off putting. I think Dan is the business man and pushes that but I'm sure Steve has his heart in the right place, just it can get confusing after buying one set of programs thinking you have everything the a week later they are telling you we got this and we got that... It made me feel that i had;nt bought the whole package that i wanted in the first place
i thought he had long hair ?
japesarcher Fourie it's just in a ponytail in this vid
Aidan Robinson yeah realised it a few hours later...after the comment...
Before I watched this video, all I see was a 'box' of one pentatonic position on the fretboard. And within 10mins this guy just unlocked my brain. Awesome knowledge.
Iszzuan Nazim i feel you
"we're confined by what we see and what we know".. thats not just guitar tip right there, that's a frickin life tip.. 🤘🤘
Hands down the best teacher on RUclips, keep it up!
Agreed. Indeed, as both a teacher and a guitar player, I have to say I'm really impressed. Steve, your actually giving pointers on how to do both! Keep up the amazing work!

sorry for the confussi g question but im confused also xD ahha
The shape remains the same, you just move it along the fretboard so that the root note falls on G instead of A.
thank you sooo much . this comment will help me a bunch..ty

I love how you explained everything.. Your explanations are very clear
This is as clear an explanation of the different pentatonic positions as there is, really really well done.
Thank you sooooo much!!!
May you be always blessed with clarity and the gift of sharing it.
You explain things so clearly and you're a master of your craft. Almost too good.
@ 61 years old I just started playing guitar about two months ago. THIS IS THE CONTENT THAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!! Thank you & please post more of this same subject. The scale shapes blending. Great stuff!!!
Wow, what a nice compliment, thanks buddy!

I wanted to thank you because that just helped me with the opening up the mental visualization of combining the scales.
