      Steve Stine Guitar Lessons I used to use the piano to make music I wouldn’t say I know “HOW” to play piano but I use it to make noice sounds, that’s what I’m trying. To learn on guitar and I’m trying to picture the top of the low e string all the way to the high e string to the bottom as like 1 string kinda like a piano

      Newbie here. So if i start with e minor on the 12th fret . Then go to D on the tenth fret. How do i know how to connect. Is this by ear or do i have to know the top note must match the bottom note? Sorry for the dumb question

    Another tool that has helped me tremendously, get a clip-on tuner and leave it on while you play. Watch it, see the note names, see how your fingering affects intonation and changes the notes ever so slightly. Use the tuner to dial in your bends and seeing note names as you play can really ingrain the theory into your head without even trying!

    I stopped playing guitar about 2 decades ago. Im a self learner back then and I hit this wall. I couldn't make a solo, i dont know the theory, no music teacher to ask to, no you tube yet for quick reference, so I guess I just gave up. after 20 years, yesterday I bought an acoustic guitar, I guess my love for playin' is burried within my DNA. after playin' for a while (resting my fingers cause it hurts) I run accross your channel, and wow! I think I hit my "aha!" moment... now Im thinkin' to get an electric guitar again. thank you man!

    Picked up a guitar a few weeks ago, and started playing again. First time since high school. I have been watching your videos on scale and theory, love them. Was trying to learn some blues licks last night and it all just clicked as to how to connect the positions. Still a work in progress, but I was able to meander across the fretboard for a solid 10 minutes. Really appreciate all that you do on here. Wish youtube was around when I was in highschool. Probably wouldnt have had all the frustration that caused me to give it up.

    I have been playing guitar for 30+ years but always pretty much just rhythm. Now I am probably not your average viewer because we play and sing bluegrass gospel. I have never been able to pick a "break" or even a "turnaround", as we call it in bluegrass, no matter how many good pickers I watched or tried to learn from. Your videos are an actual Godsend because I have learned and understood more about my fret board in the last few weeks since finding your lessons on here than I did in all of those years. A big part of that for me is that it is very evident you love to teach and know how to teach. Thank you.

    Steve, I'm 57 (this year), and have been noodling on a guitar since I was 14. In this video, I've picked up more useful information that has STUCK than in almost 40 years of self learning frustration.
    My time constraints at this stage of my life have me in planted in different tasks for most of my waking hours, and have forced me to place the axe in a hanger more than it is played. Since seeing this, I have a much renewed drive, and will be using your methodology to once again do something that I dearly love.
    For that; I sincerely thank you!
    🙏 🤘✌️

    What is amazing about Steve Stine is that he has the ability to communicate these patterns (or ruts) that we get stuck in, and how to actually move forward or take what we learned and transfer it to something new or to a new level.

    To anyone wanting to learn and are searching youtube....you have found the right guy! I think I have watched all of his videos on pentatonic scales, and man......learned more from him in a couple weeks than ever! I have searched RUclips and searched teachers in order to learn, and Steve is the one. It is a lot of work and I am in the meandering phase, but it is paying off! I have watched chord theory and caged system and had to stop. I need to stay focused on penta for now. I am stoked knowing those lessons are available when I am ready! So excited and inspired from Steve! It is overwhelming at times but love your saying "it's not all or nothing" You are the best man!

Your detailed yet simplified way of explaining the fretboard is beyond exceptional. You take the fear and confusion out of complicated theory and make it easy to understand and duplicate. You have such incredible talent both as a teacher and musician.Thank you for sharing this with us brother! God Bless you and yours and keep them happy, healthy and safe!

  • @MarkR973
    @MarkR973 6 лет назад +59

    Steve.. I discovered today while studying c scale that when on a note anywhere on the fretboard that you can play the corresponding chord by applying the chord shape of the string name that note sits on at that spot.. you bar on that fret. For example.. at the 7th position.. the notes are B,E,A,D,F#,B... which sit on the E,A,D,G,B,E strings.. so.. if I wanna play a B chord at the 7th fret I simply put my bar there and apply the E chord form.. to play the E chord at the 7th fret I bar there and play the A chord form.. and so on... duh.. so easy now to play chords for the notes on the fretboard.. which basically serve as the root note of the chord.. woohoo!!! Learning.. sorry for the long comment I hope others can benefit from it.. hey everyone.. try it.. right the. Let’s down for each string then try what I said .. another example, 5th position/fret, A note sits on the E string.. so, bar the 5th position and play the E chord shape and u get the a chord, the D note sits on the A string at the 5th position so play the A chord form and you get a d chord musically.. ha! Damn! Enjoy all!!

    @cthehuston2486 Год назад

    I’m fairly new… I’ve been taking lessons for a couple of months and I’ve been beating up the Pentatonic scales on a regular basis. My instructor took note of this, and began teaching me the same thing you’ve shown here. Your explanation kinda hit home a little more, and helped me to think of ways to improve what I’m doing. Everyone online seems to boast of some sort of “magical scale/ guitar technique” which has eluded guitar teaching through the ages, and dispels learning scales. The more I spend practicing and diving into scales - it really boils down to the instructor and desire of the student. I’m 56, retired and have a long life of experiences. Perhaps my discipline is different from my younger peers, maybe it’s the time I can afford to learn and practice. Regardless, the basics you stressed in learning is noteworthy in comparison to the other online tutorials. This is the second of your videos I’ve had bounce across my feed, and both videos hit home and opened my eyes after being 1 on 1 in a classroom. That’s the hallmark of an excellent instructor. Thank you for sharing your gift.

    @textsmsmaster9884 6 лет назад +3

    Howdy Steve .. Your emphasis on beginning slow and moving up through to faster tempos using a metronome when one "meanders" has been "so going back to re-learn or re-visit" years of not just approaching my solo processes but also moving between standard "root in the bass" box shape chords to actually seeing their alternate shapes to switch with ease into their inversions "with 3rd, 5th, etc in the bass" .. your meandering technique and the metronome .. PRICELESS!!!

  • @arajoaina
    @arajoaina 3 года назад +3

    I had a great teacher we nick named Joe Bad. The first time I learned the pentatonic scale; I learned it on all twelve frets. After that the same pattern repeats itself. Off course there are notes in the scale you miss along the way but all you have to do is learn those notes later on the frets that you pass bye while running up or down the necks. In hind site I was lucky to have such a good teacher who from the start taught me to visualize and run up and down the fret board. Best thing to do is to learn to start at 1st fret for all seven notes a-g and run through until the same shape starts again.

    I enjoyed the wisdom in this lesson and the fact that you see it all as a journey with no destination. You never stop learning on the guitar even things you think you know inside out and upside down can reveal new hidden treasures if you look at them from a different standpoint. You're a good teacher and I think I'll watch more of your videos and maybe even take on a course. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

  • @steveneagan3953
    @steveneagan3953 4 года назад +12

    The mode you're calling the "new first mode" IS already the 5th mode of the minor pentatonic scale. It's the tower mode. Well that's what I've heard it called anyways. There are only 5 petatonic modes. Once you learn those 5 modes you can go between boxes easily and open the fretboard. You could show how the G major pentatonic scale is the same as the E minor pentatonic scale. You use the same modes you just go from G to G instead of E to E. All keys have a built in major key to a minor key. Like A minor is C major. D minor is F major and so on. Idk what ppl other know. But that's what I was taught.

    Great video man, I've been playing for about 12 years now and always would want to stay in that same box because I didn't know how to venture out onto the fret board, I picked up that exercise and have been amazed that in 15 mins of playing around, I could make up my own solos and they actually went together, learned something in 15 mins that I've been trying to do for years, props to your teaching skills

    Great video and great instructor, I spent years noodling around, not really knowing what I was playing and what worked together properly. I decided to finally sit and spend some time learning what I need to know. This video alone has helped and inspired me to immerse myself even more in the theory side, 10/10.

  • @Groosome128
    @Groosome128 6 лет назад +6

    So I guess the moving between the positions part basically means sliding or otherwise playing 3 notes on the string you're moving on... or even just picking when to move and play any of the notes in that next position. I need to spend some time on this :/

    Steve no words to thank you !
    I t was getting monotonous to play Pentatonic Scales up and down in the same place.
    I wanted to move out of it and play all over the place on the fret board. I tired it but it was never melodious as I was playing wherever I felt like ( sort of unguided notes ). You gave me the idea of how to go about it !
    Thanks once again Steve !
