I agree. I have RUclips searched for 2 years every week for hours at a time. Ry is my go to channel for learning. The videos are super easy and thorough, connecting all the different techniques so you understand WHY it’s all connected….from triads, to chords, to scales, to positions and patterns, all related to CAGED, positions, string sets AND most importantly, ALL in the same sitting. There’s no jumping around with partial information….the light bulbs are continuously turning on with each explanation. I feel like I’ve been getting hundreds of miscellaneous puzzle pieces, and then, after watching just a couple of videos from Ry, I see exactly what the finished puzzle is going to look like and before I even finish the puzzle, I can practically figure out what is going to come next in the puzzle. So simple to follow. I am so extremely excited about practicing every day because I know that with his videos, I am going to advance every time I watch a video, and not just a little bit, a lot. What a great teacher in my opinion.
This is precisely what I was hoping to find; concise information that I can analyze for patterns. From that "Grand Unification Pattern" dude, I got the finger shapes of: WW=X, HW=Y, WH=Z with the patterns always formatted like this (3NPS): X [x3] - Y [x2] - Z [x2] || Rules: move up a fret when shifting from X to Y, move up a fret when shifting from 4th to 5th string. With this video, it's essentially strapped nos jets to my understanding so I can really start crunching the fretboard. A massive thank you.
I've learnt more watching this at work than I have in the previous 17 years, thank you! I hope to find more videos expanding on this, as well as other things I've neglected when I get home
@Rynaylorguitar very much so! If you ever get the chance I'd love to see how each position could be linked in a more musical way? So far I'm just learning them for muscle memory and to get the 1473625 pattern memorised so it all sounds a bit stale when I try to use it!
i watched this video, got the step 1 quite quickly. your explanation was great. i'm already sounding way more melodic and less 'scale' like. this specific video has helped me break out of the box. thank you so much for this video.
I’ve purchased several of your courses. This video is so well taught with great visuals like your other material. Learning a lot from you. Keep it coming. Thanks Ryan.
That was an extremely well thought out and taught lesson! Thank you! I can see how since less experienced players may have gotten lost towards the end but they'll get it.
Definitely Ry you are the best tutor I’ve come across so far. You explain clearly and sequentially, your media content and books are great. Well done, to me No.1 youtube guitar educator.
@@edwardmifsud5935 Everything chord related is in 'The Chord Book: Volume 1'. CAGED Clarity will be valuable for soloing if you've not yet studied the CAGED system. That is covered in-depth in my 'GUITAR BLUEPRINT' video course 🙏🏻
I'm grateful that I came came across this video. I have the the major scale shapes for the different 3nps positions memorized and needed a way to memorize the root/tonic/1 for it and the ascending 4ths pattern is such a great way to familiarize with the scale degrees further. I love the idea of calling out the scale degrees as you ascend through the scale for the first fretting finger for the string through each position.
Well…I don’t know where to start 🤷🏼♂️‼️…‼️, I’m a soon to be 70y/o man,- trying to fulfill a childhood DREAM… !!! And driving my wife crazy in the process ‼️She has listened to me “TRYING” to learn how to do, … EXACTLY WHAT YOU SHOWED IN THIS VIDEO ‼️ I think I’ve watched , just about everything I could find on RUclips- “How to play the guitar” , or “Learn to Play the Guitar the “EASY” way- & - FAST ‼️‼️‼️🙄 ! …… WOW…She has SUFFERED ‼️…But today I had your video pop-up while I was watching-(😝, get this) , “HOW TO MEMORIZE THE FRETBOARD IN 10min.” HaHaHa-!! Sooo- I took a look at the video lesson , and wanted to let you know that….(“you probably won’t ever see this”) 🤷🏼♂️, …but I learned more about the process in YOUR VIDEO… then I have in all the others- combined !! I don’t know what it was/is , but that video lit a little flame in my little brain and FINALLY , I began making some sense of how everything really relates to something else ‼️😳🙄 AND … you can’t take any shortcuts … lots of time , dedication , and work ! Pleeeezzzz-🙏 , to anyone who might read this … I AM NOT… saying that the other videos I have seen haven’t been a waste of time and I have learned something from them all and , I’m thankful for them all. You all put a lot of time and money and efforts into making a video that may help someone else!! So , thanks to you all !!! I stopped and got my guitar and tried to do what was on the video , … all-be-it very slow and missed notes … my wife heard it and came and asked- “was that YOU , or the video? She watched while I tried again… saying-“ that sounds much better than me trying to do it MY WAY” !!! So , thank you again and I also found out how to find you… & the other newer/older , lessons you have to offer . Most of all I found out there is NO , fast/easy way TO LEARN !!!!!! I’m sorry this is a longer comment than it should be , I just had to leave my thoughts. Please keep doing more videos sharing your VAST knowledge of this long journey , most all ”GOOD GUITARISTS “, must have had to go through at some point in time !!! Keep up your expert knowledge coming …! Thanks again…RICHARD (my wife thanks you too!!!!)
Thank you so much for your comment Richard. You made my day. These videos take countless hours and, after staring at them for so long, I start to wonder whether they make any sense! I’m so pleased that this has helped you 🙏🏼
thank you for this video, so well explained, i had been struggling for quite some time on this topic, getting lost on the fretboard, and this was great help!
Fantastic job on the video. This one unlocked a whole new way of thinking about the fretboard. I've practiced tons of CAGED but this 3 note per string approach is amazing!
When I first watched the video, it was pretty confusing, and I couldn't wrap my head around how it worked. Then I saw the F major example, and it all sort of clicked and I had to rewatch the whole video. I'm definitely going to give this a shot! I was also wondering, is there any way to translate this method for the minor scale, or are there any easy references for the patterns in the minor scale?
@@Rynaylorguitar Incidentally, since my initial comment, I’ve purchased nearly all of the course material and am STOKED. It is notches above most online content, IMHO of course, and is simply an incredible blend of graphics, dialogue, tips, consolidation of different but related concepts, etc, etc. Thanks for your efforts and to all who read this, check out the website! And no, I have in NO way been asked to endorse the content, website, or anything else related.
So are the 7 positions shown actually the 7 mode positions 3 notes per string? Sorry. I was late to the party - by a year! But I found it. Great stuff!
Hey Ry, I can wrap my head around the pattern/sequence, but I am not grasping what tells me when to shift? Is that just down to memorization and muscle memory? Or is it knowing the root location and the intervals that are occurring?
Great question. It’s a little of both to be honest. If you’re referring to the six-string patterns I would recommend spending more time with the string pair groupings and be very clear on which 6-note pattern goes with which scale degree. How that helps 🙏🏻
I don't have this particular topic covered in a book yet unfortunately, but I do have all the tabs and fretboard charts available to download on my Patreon page 🙏🏻

Easily layed out . Written and played at same . Nice !! Makes one learn faster and understand better.
Great to hear. Thanks 🙏🏻
Exactly the same as the X, Y, and Z patterns of the "building the better guitar scale series. Good work.
amazing video! I always somehow forget these, this video was so nicely done and easy to use to practice along.
*Very interesting sharing!👍🛎 Wish you health and success!*
One of the best lesson videos I've ever watched on RUclips
Wow, thank you so much 🙏🏻
Thanks, this video has gotten me out of a guitar rut and has completely opened up the entire fretboard for me.

Great to hear. Thanks Leon 🙏🏻
@@Rynaylorguitar you're welcome
sweet this helps stitch together scale positions in the other systems too
Yes it does!
Love this video. Will you have more visual pattern videos like this or more advanced? It’s the best!
thank you for this video, so well explained, i had been struggling for quite some time on this topic, getting lost on the fretboard, and this was great help!

Awesome video and lesson.
Thanks! 😃
@Ry Naylor Guitar, great video!
On my system, I denote it like this:
ww=M (major trichord) (and M-, M+ for harmonic modes)
wh=m (minor trichord)
hw=h ((phrigian trichord, m-)
[ 1M_2m_3h_4M_5M_6m_7h ] - one string, (I, ii , iii, IV, V, vi , viio ) - chords
[ 7h, 3h, 6m, 2m, 5M, 1M, 4M,, ] - position (3nps) [7-loc, 3-phr, 6-aeo, 2-dor, 5-mix, 1-ion, 4-lyd,, ] - modes
[ 7h, 3h, 6m, 2m, 5S ; ] or [ 5S; 7h, 3h, 6m, 2m,] - CAGED system
[ 7h, 3h_4M,, ] - diagonal (like Satriani)
[7h_1m, 4m,, ] - diagonal (like Malmsteen)
[ 1M,,, 5s, ] - diagonal major pentatonic .
and so on...
👍🏻
Very good teaching
Thanks!
Very amazing.
So are the 7 positions shown actually the 7 mode positions 3 notes per string? Sorry. I was late to the party - by a year! But I found it. Great stuff!
Welcome! You can label these scale patterns by the seven modes of the major scale.
Thanks Man!
New subs here!
Thanks!
Thank YOU!
thanks a lot
Hey I would love a guitar tutorial to Dekker celebrate the small things or maybe oktober
If only chords were also that easy...
Brilliant
Thanks!
Great video... I will be implementing this in my practice routine! thank you
Great. Thanks Chris 🙏🏻
Is this all kind of linked to the Grand Unification Scheme Ry?
Hey Ry, I can wrap my head around the pattern/sequence, but I am not grasping what tells me when to shift? Is that just down to memorization and muscle memory? Or is it knowing the root location and the intervals that are occurring?
Great question. It’s a little of both to be honest. If you’re referring to the six-string patterns I would recommend spending more time with the string pair groupings and be very clear on which 6-note pattern goes with which scale degree. How that helps 🙏🏻
Can you do a guitar tutorial of the song Dont know why by Norah Jones
I learnt the patterns and shifting from Michael Pillitieres' series here on YT but the ascending fourths addition is golden! 😮
Quite Well explained but completly lost me at halfway through
Rinse, repeat!
Rinse, repeat!
Rinse, repeat!
Rinse, repeat!
Rinse, repeat!
Could the different patterns help coincide with the different modes of the major scale as well?
They can do, but I'd be careful with thinking about them in this way. You can get stuck in the thought that a mode is a specific scale pattern.
@@Rynaylorguitar thanks for the advice!
Nice
Thanks!
Sounds like FRETJAM!
I'll take that as a compliment!
Holy shit!
*Standing Ovation*
🙏🏻
Just a question, in which book would I find this? I want to buy one, need your advice in regard. Thanks
I don't have this particular topic covered in a book yet unfortunately, but I do have all the tabs and fretboard charts available to download on my Patreon page 🙏🏻
Harmonic Minor ios a bbbb to learn
💎✨👌
How do the numbers help us remember where to go?
The numbers tell you which 3-note fingering pattern to use. It’s all there in the video.
@@Rynaylorguitar Ahhh okay, thanks Ryan !
If you have IQ under 15 and can only memorize instead of thinking, this method is definitely for you.
I've had a good ear for over 60 years, and sometimes it's what I need..Aloha
Too fast for me to grasp it
No problem. You can always watch it as many times as you need.
