One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that scales are just tools-they aren’t automatically musical. In this lesson, I’ll show you how to stop thinking of scales as just patterns and start using them to make real music. It’s all about focusing on phrasing, dynamics, and expression, rather than just running up and down scales. So, grab your guitar, and let’s unlock the secret to turning scales into musical gold. Trust me, once you learn this, your playing will never be the same!

Wow. Let me say that again. Wow. I’ve been watching guitar lesson videos on RUclips for many, many years but this has got to be THE BEST instructional video I think I have ever seen. I’m a subscriber but headed to the website now to become a member. Wow.
So stoked this lesson helped you Jeffrey!
Right.
Anyone who gets all that from this video is
😮
THANK YOU!
I started out learning guitar from a video tutorial and the instructor taught this technique from the start. It is so simple and easy to use that I was cutting records within a year with people asking how I learned "to play guitar like that". Even my older brother, who has played guitar for decades, was asking me how I learned so fast. Good job of demonstrating the technique, obviously there is much more to guitar but this will get a player off to a fast start which makes all the other learning even more fun!
Dude, you've figured this out on 10 years. I'm on my 20th, and still going nowhere. Btw, this video is really mind opening. Thanks a lot mate!
20 years?? Whatever you’re doing to learn guitar I’d change in a hurry!
I'm embarrassed to admit how long I've been at It, so don't feel bad.
I’m 46. Made records and toured the world for 20 years and this is the first and maybe most useful thing I’ve heard someone say in all of the lessons and videos I’ve had over the years. I can’t believe I never thought about this. If I’m trying to learn a song or solo I break it down into chunks. Why would this be any different? Thank you.
Dude! This should make you feel better. I'm 65, playing for over 50 years and I just learned it!.....Great video. My only fan will love my new skills when I hold my kitchen island concert for my no#1 fan, my sweetheart of 40 years! Excellent Video!
Just started playing about 2 months ago, feel like I have progressed so much simply by watching these videos. Good stuff!
Great mind opening lesson!. Some interesting notes about the rhythms you chose for your solos. 1. You begin phrases on up beats. 2. Phrase ends on downbeat. 3. Liberal use of rests.(Don't need to always fill the space.) 4. Play in sync with beat. (i.e. In Time) All great stuff. One of my pet peeves with guitar solos is the swirly swirlies or when the guitarist plays straight eighth note runs up and down the scale. Brillant stuff this lesson. Thank you.
Thanks Eddie. Love your very clear teaching style and clear examples to try out!
I think this lesson is amazing and really helpful for someone who just started soloing or learned pentatonic. Thank you ❤❤❤
That's awesome dude. I was stuck with guitar for last couple weeks and you clear something that I couldn't see. You really helped me
The most appropriate use of the word MILK in rock history 😎
Eddie the Legend ❤
Boom! This is the video this rather old newbie has been waiting for! Thank you!
The three boxes method/system helped a lot! Interesting that I've never heard it from anyone but it makes perfect sense!
Wish I had this lesson when I was a beginner...great stuff!
All my guitar teachers dropped the ball...
Wow! Thank you!
In addition to the root note is knowing where the 3rd is this is important because the 3rd and the flatted 3rd is what determines if the chord is major or minor (flatted third) for blues and most of rock, you can solo in the key of the song and switch between major and minor through the chord changes. The other key that has helped me, is being able to see the triads and use those to solo through and just playing PARTS of the triad can be VERY melodic
This may be the key to a lot of things ty!!
Wow! Thank you so much. I'm actually not a guitarist. I'm a trombonist, but this absolutely still applies, and makes soloing so much clearer
Thanks man. This has helped me. New sub.
Brilliant! I now looking at this as a new light, never going to sound robotic. Thank you!
I absolutely love all your videos they changed me from just playing around with guitar 🎸 to a passion all I want to do is pick up my guitar 🎸♾️💪
Great lesson Eddie. I use scales to know where the notes are on the fretboard. Playing a root and 3 or 4 companion notes leads me to good phrasing. Using the metronome is something I always do, it teaches me rhythm.
You're a beautiful soul, Eddie. Great content as always, much appreciated. 🙏💓
The algorithm brought you to my RUclips - and I’m grateful! That’s a great tip! Really helps me and my simple brain figure a way around ideas. Thank you!
Been learning off and on for 28 years, and finally someone has made sense of the pentatonic scale other than practicing up and down. Thank you.
This is what I needed. Kudos🙏🏾
It is really what I've been looking for so far. Big thank you to you and this great video. 👍♥️
Can relate to a certain extent, in that playing scales super fast up and down. Isn't very difficult, and not musical in any way.
My sticking point was, and still is to some extent. Learning to actually slow down and develop some rythm. Instead of always trying to weedle deedle my way all over the fretboard.
Rythm is king. Then sprinkling in some more complex "mini solos" throughout the song. Before eventually busting out the main chorus groove. Helps a song build slowly, instead of blowing the wad straight out the gate.
Then when you finally break into the main solo section, it should all come around back to the intro rythm. Before finally nailing the chorus again. Rinse and repeat as needed.
Doesn't seem to be any discernable structure to many songs anymore? Jumbled messes, that bore me to death.
Listen to "Walk All Over You" by AC/DC.
That's how rock n roll should sound. Pure and simple. Peace!
This is amazing. I’ve never heard it explained this way and I’ve even had professional lessons with a teacher. This is the best thing I’ve ever seen on guitar 🎸
Great lesson. I have a little digital metronome that has built-in drum tracks. I'll have to experiment with the boxes with it.
I once watched a jazz guitarist play an entire song with one note. His point? Two things: first, focus on getting the most out of every note, second that rhythm counts more than melody (though they, and harmony, all count, of course). This lesson feels like level 2 of that demonstration. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much ! have been searching for this explanation for so long ! What a difference.
I love this guy.
This is such great advise. The first song I learned how to play, I blew people away when I played it right after one try. 😅
The hardest thing to teach/explain is improvisation regardless of how theory smart one is. Ex: I had college guitar students whom could sight read far better than I could that played marching band instruments whom would ask how I knew what to randomly play off the top of my head, of which I’d simply say I can’t teach you what’s in my head, your experience will teach you that depending on your experiences. Hence: Scales a merely a roadmap, how we mix it up and make it musically appealing is our individuality regarding what or whom inspires us to be creative.
Thank you for sharing your genius gift of talent! I wish you tremendous success.
Much appreciated demo/ tutorial!
so simple, so cool! Thanks.
Great lesson ! Love from U.K. makes perfect sense.
I don't always pay for every stuff on the net, but when I do, it's something usefull and helpfull. Like GMM membership. I hope my small fee helps them to make this great lessons and videos.
This is the first time I've found your channel ... one video got my sub 🫡
Great stuff, I play the fiddle. This is good for any instrument.
Awesome lesson Thankyou.
Makes lots of sense, thanks.
Thank you for this!!!!! Best video I've ever come across breaking down each box. Earned a sub.
Now tie that into playing over chord changes.
His Am penatonic is suitable over an A minor chord, but not suitable for A major chord. You would use the A major penatonic over A major, and a C major penatonic over C major. In the key of G major, the progression could be G, Em, C, and D. If you play G major pentatonic over The G chord, and Em pentatonic over the Em chord etc., it will work. All these notes will also be in the key of G. A big secret is to begin and end your solo over a chord on one of the notes of the chord. This is one approach. Another would be to play the G major schale, and end on whatever chord note corresponds to the cord your playing on. The beauty of the penatonic approach is all those vaious penatonic scales, will have the same notes that are in the Key of G.
@@JohnSmith-gy3vb Am pentatonic is great over A major when playing blues-like stuff. Its exactly what makes blues blues.
Thnks a lot brother
This is a great lesson.
Beautiful guitar
🤯 I FINALLY understand all the references to a “boxed” system! Sounds so good. Thank you for such a clear and simple explanation.
This is fantastic
Dont feel bad Eddie... 33 years of banging on my poor guitar and i just learned it. Thanks for the heads up...
Looks so easy, sounds so great! I could do just that for hours, if I could only do that!!
It's amazing music isn't it, doesn't have to be wizardry to sound cool. Like it pal and will be implementing it into my learning 👍🏻
Hey, thanks Eddie! That was exactly what I needed, just when I needed it: )
Im 42, I basically completed the app called Yousician - getting to level 10. I atill cant play a single thing without reading it. I dont feel like I can play anything. I really need help in feeling like a musician not a sight reading robot.
Excellent !
Awesome Lesson, thanks a lot 🤙🏻
Thank you sir❤❤
Great video and thorough presentation!
Wow..good stuff Eddie!
Bula thanks alot for teaching me ❤🙏
Players just play, scales get figured out later. Good lesson, thanks
The only way to play interesting solo's (and really enjoy music) is by developing your EAR and knowing your fretboard. Find some software that generates melodies/intervals and try to play them by ear and at the same time, SING the note values out loud , no matter how bad you sound. (It will improve over time)
Bad ears is like trying to paint, being colour blind.
They are the real barriers, not your knowledge of scales etc.
Amazing advice! Made solos and scales so much less intimidating but for chord changes, would you just have to learn the different boxes in the scale of the other chords and just switch to said boxes when the change comes? Or would you meet that chord change by playing the same root note as the chord and continue to solo in the same scale? Thanks again for the video!
Thank you, I mostly play by ear, and this is the perfect cheat code for me. Saves me from hunting around the fret board.
Grear lesson
thank you
Just what I needed
Thnx a lot
Eddie, you're fantastic . This is a great video. Thanks for breaking it down. Finally, musical sentences. ✌️
Yes great lesson .trying to make that one scale sound musical is hard.took me a long long time to.learn all 5 scales .
Obviously once you do you can jump around from 5th fret A to 17th fret A or use the or other scales in D and E position.
Wish I had seen this 50 years ago. Had to wait for RUclips to have GMM figure it out.
Very good
Awesome
Good lesson , thank you
You just explained something in ten minutes that I have spent years trying to figure out. Time to dust off the metronome.👍
Awesome lesson 👍
Thanks. Been doing a lot of walking lately:). Btw, Eddie Money was one of my fave artists. And that solo work from ‘Life for the takin’
Terima kasih
Yeah this is pretty awesome thank you so much.
Great advice. 👍
Liked & subscribed my man. This is such a great lesson.
Very useful video! Thanks. You think you can do a similar type video using triads? I’m working on them, they fascinate me for some reason.
Great video
Thsnks a million yhus is the first person whose made sense to me. I learn different. 🤷♀️
Thanks Eddie, Awesome!
Why is this info so well hidden? It should be taught right along with learning one’s first scale! Can’t thank you enough my friend.
I'm 65 yo, and it never ceases to amaze me how many more aha! moments I have yet to realize...you're a gift to mankind, and obviously a kindman...thank you.
This is why yours is the best teaching channel on RUclips.
Perfect advice. I’m a teacher and I do the same thing when I hear people getting lost trying to make a scale come alive
I don't hate the approach but I don't love it either... I used to the play piano many years ago, learned all the scales and stuff and nowadays when I play the piano I feel like my mind is interfering with my feelings... I started learning the guitar a few months ago and not knowing where the notes, scales, triads are but just exploring various sound combinations has given me the most adventurous and fun time I've ever had with any instrument.\o/
dude, thanks for this lesson. i apply this to all the 3 scales and i just keep playing without stopping. the other 2 scales i don't know what i'm doing so i never use them but i know where they are. this is really helpful. you get a like...oh...666 likes...well, 667 now and a subscribe.
Your lessons always under-complicate the learning process. Which is hard to do in any subject, much less music. My only suggestion: can you provide examples from rock artists who use the "root note in a 4 note chunk" technique? Certain licks we all are aware of? thanks!
Good Job 👍
Great lesson sounds better with a Holy Orthodox cross. ;)
Thanks for sharing!
Great lesson. I would think you could use it to practice the other target notes.
Hey. Love your way of making aspects of soloing a bit easier to handle. Can I ask though why the graphic chord charts are upside down . ie low sixth string at the bottom when you are playing the gat facing the viewer with the sixth string at the top. I wonder.
Don't think I've did it with a metronome yet, might've on my keyboard
Qué genial! 🤟🤟🤟
This is an excellent lesson and I appreciate you taking the time to share this.
My question is, do I take the other five pentatonic shapes and do the same thing
Break each shape into one of three boxes and build the solos from each box?
❤️🙏🕊️
You could absolutely do that and I’d recommend it! Because you want to feel equally comfortable playing in all the pentatonic positions instead of just differing to one.
@@OnwardAndEdward
Thank you. I will do that.
I also know all seven diatonic shapes.
Although I understand it's not the most efficient way to play a scale I know all seven shapes and can make them fit to backing tracks.
That's three notes per string. I've never tried breaking those in the boxes.
🕊️🙏❤️
By the way I'm 65 and when I was 63 I bought an electric guitar and an amplifier and I started really late but this has been a dream come true.
💓
Why is the Am pentatonic scale so popular, seems to be most teachers beginning scale but they dont tell you why ........this is a great lesson though breaking it into 3 boxes ive just bought myself a looper pedal so i can start to practise, and try and make it musical ..can anyone tell me what chord progression you would use for this scale...is it the key of A ..
i am watching your videos for a while now but it is my first comment. I love your way of teaching but what i love the most is that you do not make people feel bad for their mistakes. I also had the same problem with the pentatonic scale, i never knew what to do with it. Granted i am playing for around 2 years but still. i love your laid back and easy going attitude and how clear you pass your messages. please keep it up man.
