The best lesson I’ve seen, clear precise and with the tab to easily follow along. Has the feel of presence, like Howard is right there with you THANKS HOWARD!
I've had so much fun with this! I'm free! My fingers are running up and down across the neck and it all makes sense! Best pentatonic scale lesson ever! It should have always been this easy! Please keep teaching more tricks! Thanks!
Wow wow wow!!! first time the algorithm has thrown me one of your videos, didn’t realize you were out there! fantastic lesson!!! going to be checking out a lot more of your content! Thanks Howard!!
I really like your teaching style and the fact that you put the tabs on the screen so it is easy to follow what you are doing. Easy to take screenshots to practice with. Thanks!
I wish someone showed me this a longggg time ago. Your teaching method was a comfortable fit for me. Lessons one and two were extremely helpful. It was my missing link for helping with other licks and triads I have already learned but couldn’t use them when improving on my own. Thank You Very Much Howard. 👍✌
I'm a long time bassist (45 years) and I've recently decided to up my game on guitar. I've picked up a lot of tips and methods over the past few months and after a first watch, I'm going to watch this several more times and learn the whole thing. There's a lot of little licks and tricks in here that will improve my guitar playing tenfold. Thank you very much.
Говард, это было очень поучительно! Всегда думал - "как это они играют дабл-стопы"?! После Вашего урока оказалось, что всё достаточно просто. Спасибо Вам большое!!!
Thank you!, thank you!, thank you!! I am 67 years into this beautiful world and been playing for 5 years now. I am fluent with my minor & major pentatonics and comfortable with my open chords. This just opened up a new level for me! I am a fan Howard! 😊
I love your teaching style. I just found you last night, and now I know that a couple songs I wrote have "pentatonic scales" in them, I had no idea, Ive never had anyone teach me anything I just pick what sounds good. Thank you for posting these vids, you just might make a musician outta me🎉🎉
Howard your video created one of those ahaa moments...been learning scales and this lesson showed how to apply it melodicy. I subscribed and look forward to your future content.
You're too generous with your excellent lessons, ideas and tips, Sir. Your channel is such a huge mine of very useful information! Greetings from a subscriber from Poland!
This is an outstanding lesson. Love the balance between theory and practicality. As a pretty ordinary, largely self-taught player, I'm not looking for tricks or one-off short cuts, but something that helps me develop and this lesson is spot on. Thank you, Howard.
This is totally great instruction, very detailed, clear and concise, no long boring explanation, also great putting the tab up is very helpful, l certainly understand now about finding the root note, play 3 notes, then 2 notes on the next string etc and also putting in licks etc to add spice- this is absolutely what l needed and l can apply this to other things I’ve learned.
Wow. You explained that better than any teacher I've had. I've been looking for someone to explain how chord shapes can be used to incorporate scales in a way to produce leads, and you did just that. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I don't know why more teachers don't teach the sliding major and minor pentatonic scales as Howard shows here they are much easier to work into cool fill licks, nice job Howard, love your lessons.
I'm a complete noob to the guitar I know chord shapes an stuff but I had not found a video that made it make sense as far as a chord with a scale. This video was awesome an so clear it just clicked right away for me.
A minor point, but I appreciate it that Howard uses equipment (Squire/Fender) in a price range I can afford. Some of these dudes--no names--have a different Gibson 335/Martin for every lesson and I wonder what my monthly sub is really buying--lessons or equipment. Great teacher.
Thankyou very much for some one like me who been playing guitar for years and still can’t play you taking time to help me learn I’m very grateful, you make my heart happy 😊
Thanks Howard, brilliant. I’ve been looking for a reason to work on my flat picking. Excellent linking of theory, musicality, explanation & attainability… with a lot of practice on my part. Going over to 24/7 to have a look.👍🇦🇺
Hi Howard, I just love everything you come up with. I was never one that plays scales very much but this is interesting, fun and melodic, everything that the scales lack. Thanks 😊
This is very good. I taught guitar over thirty years and this is very similar to what I taught my students. One difference, I always wanted my students to memorize every note on their necks. I also taught standard notation as well as tab. I feel knowing standard notation really opens up music in a way that tab doesn't.
What would you recommend for learning the how to pick the strings with a pick? I guess what I’m asking is a practice procedure to help me with picking the right strings. In all these wonderful scales you are showing one must first know how to hit the correct strings in between strumming. I been playing 4 months now. I have developed a practice routine about a hour each day sometimes more. It consists of spider walks, scales, pentatonic scales, chords, strumming, metronome, finger picking, freet board memorizing. Music theory. I want to include picking the strings but I’m unsure how to approach it. Any advice? I’m a older player. Anything you could recommend would be awesome! Thanking you in advance. Awesome video too!!!!!!
You are precious !!! Thanks a lot. I am beginner on guitar. I have learned something very important on g,c,d chord. So precious are your teaching. Now I have to practice it all. May your god bless you always Paris 27/03/2024 Vivien
Yessss! I use this scale on....everything lol. Good to get some different phrases from it, been in a bit of a rut. Thanks! Subscribed just because your manner and style, as well as the fact that I can use a lot of this right away since this is my fave scale to use....
Where have you been all my life. If someone had shown me this 50 yrs ago I may have become the Rock God I was meant to be. Thank you Howard.
Awesome. Thanks.
The best lesson I’ve seen, clear precise and with the tab to easily follow along. Has the feel of presence, like Howard is right there with you THANKS HOWARD!
I teach guitar and you're right!
I've had so much fun with this! I'm free! My fingers are running up and down across the neck and it all makes sense! Best pentatonic scale lesson ever! It should have always been this easy! Please keep teaching more tricks! Thanks!
I've been practicing in more of a linear style lately and this is right on time. Excellent, thank you Howard
Best scale lesson ever. Easy to follow and learn. Respect!
Very good lesson Howard. I'm really enjoying and learning from it. Thanks man!
My pleasure!
This is the best lesson I have seen on social media. Excellent job!!
A really beautiful lesson Howard. Made me think of 'Jessica'. Thank you for your generosity.
Wow wow wow!!! first time the algorithm has thrown me one of your videos, didn’t realize you were out there! fantastic lesson!!! going to be checking out a lot more of your content! Thanks Howard!!
I really like your teaching style and the fact that you put the tabs on the screen so it is easy to follow what you are doing. Easy to take screenshots to practice with. Thanks!
Great lesson, and there in a nutshell is your CAGED explanation put into perspective.
Thanks so much for this lesson, Howard! First time “meeting you”, here… MAJOR light bulb moment(s)!! Thanks again, so very much!!

That was awesome! I finally understand something. Thank you.
I really like these types of practice regimens. Helps keep it interesting and nothing works better than breaking out of the same old practice routine.
Top tutorial my friend!! Thanks so much… explains the major scale so clearly!!
Love how he summarizes each chord section with clear and simple articulation. Stellar job and thank you for sharing with everyone unselfishly!
My pleasure!
Говард, это было очень поучительно! Всегда думал - "как это они играют дабл-стопы"?! После Вашего урока оказалось, что всё достаточно просто. Спасибо Вам большое!!!
Wonderful teaching! Actually can see clearly what’s going on. Thank you sir!
Thank you Howard! Great stuff! ❤❤

wonderful lesson on Major scale explained excellently. Thanks.
Love that you get straight into it. And it's a handy tutorial thank you
Just a great lesson. Well done.
Thank you for this. This has been the easiest and best explanation of scales I have ever watched
I love your teaching style. I just found you last night, and now I know that a couple songs I wrote have "pentatonic scales" in them, I had no idea, Ive never had anyone teach me anything I just pick what sounds good. Thank you for posting these vids, you just might make a musician outta me🎉🎉
I have been practicing this, an have had a great break through, making connection all over the board, thanks a billion Howard
Very well presented. Learned a lot from your channel. Thank you for what you do.
Howard your video created one of those ahaa moments...been learning scales and this lesson showed how to apply it melodicy.
I subscribed and look forward to your future content.
Just watched a very similar tutorial. Your combo of tabs & a slower, more patient explanation made it understandable. Thnx much.
Another great lesson, learning along the guitar pentatonic instead of the standard pentatonic box positions! Thanks!
Wow! Real eye opening lesson, thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Yeah, thanks Howard. Great tutorial.
As someone who has been try ing to figure stuff like this out for a long time Thank You Sir
One of the best lessons I've seen on theTube.
You sir, are a fabulous teacher!

Hi Howard, I just love everything you come up with. I was never one that plays scales very much but this is interesting, fun and melodic, everything that the scales lack. Thanks 😊
Howard, this is a great tutorial. I can't say enough about how your teaching helps me. Perhaps a similar video using minor pentatonics. All the best!
Was expecting Bret Michaels to come in.
" we both lie silent and still... in the dead of the night"
lol😂😂😂so was i
Did he just play that song "Every Rose Ain't That America Out my Back Door Mother" ?
Great Tune !
Excellent lesson. Great teacher. This connected a bunch of dots in my guitar journey. Thank you!

That's great. I knew the sliding pentatonic scale but this is the first time I have been shown what I can do with it.
Thanks Howard. I’ll certainly use this.
