When a teacher becomes this masterful, the delivery of his concepts and approach is clear, concise and should provide clarity to anyone that has any theory confusions while improving technique.
Glad to hear that! Uhh... good at teaching, well it's the result of a lot of experience and thinking and boiling things down to their essence, and then lots of retakes and editing to make me look smart and concise! haha
@@TroyStetinaMusic Your concise to the point explanation have in recent past, and especially this video helped me cross over to learning further, breaking the plateau I was stuck up with from very long. Take a bow Troy with heartfelt respect. Looking forward to your new videos.
At the first chapter of the video. A scale does not define a pattern (the scale is a ''pattern'' in it's own right). But i can play an ''actual'' pattern inside the scale, is this a right analogy that I am thinking of?
I’m not sure exactly what you mean here. I’d say that a scale will be reflected in patterns on the neck, but a given pattern is not necessary the scale we might think it is… depends on the tonal context
This is actually very inspirational. I liked the way you broke down this point. as a beginner, this video was extremely useful. Thank you. And another thing, as a non native English speaker, your way of speaking (slow, calm) is very understandable
Your tone is epic. I find myself typically practicing not plugged. Super boring. It's excellent tat I can hear you change your dynamics, harmonics or muting as you repeat phrases or even just go up and down the scale. Inspiring. I need to go plug in.
one addition i would add under the "doubling for reliability".... it gives your brain a second to prepare yourself of where you are going next. if you shorten it down to only one run per time, it might feel too quick?
As a beginner I am so happy to hear this clear lesson. NO ONE has taken time like this to explain in such details. That I know of. Excellent teaching love this. Thank you Your awesome
thank you for this, this is almost exactly where i fell short on my skill learning. what I did was i used Excel to make fretboard maps of the tuning I was in, and then it would show me every note in that scale and what position it was in. I thought that if i had them in front of me while i was writing, they could be my cheat sheet. man did that logic fail the heck out of me.
This is interesting. I learned scales by scale tones and not by shapes. Classical training is almost all learned from notation. But maybe if I start thinking about them this way my improvising might improve.
My approach is that the name, the shape, AND the sound should all become fused in the mind as 3 expressions of the same thing. In regard to the shape piece, there are really just a few variations of each to learn as ‘equivalents’
@@TroyStetinaMusic not for nothing, but your book speed mechanics changed my playing in the 90s when I was still played rock genres. I still use the same practice techniques in my classical playing today. You’re a great player, and what’s more, you’re a great teacher.
when I started learn guitar, all the guys just told me "just shut up & practice minor pentatonic scales all day long!!!", and I have no ideas what that means actually haha. by the way, I was wondering that what's that cool stuff behind you, is it a vase?
dude i do slow mo's and do micro videos of just slow mo's inside and copiable for your stuff. it helps people to put it in with a repeat system directly into the video for the slow mo parts to dig it into your memory. owen is brainwashing me now that i found out he is kkk. i am unlearning again. he is hypnotizing me not to remember.

Well thank you! I make great effort to make these as clear and concise as possible, yet provide the necessary context.
this is the video series ive been searching for since becoming an intermediate player
Everytime you teach us something, it is clear and efficient for me. Thank you!
Glad to hear that!
just published and not missed that great tutorial. many thanks Troy!!
You’re welcome!
That's pretty helpful! Thanks you so much
You’re welcome Fotis

Yes people just don’t appreciate HOW important the right T shirt is 🤣
why are you so great at teaching? Really, i thank you so much for this demonstration. In 33secs my confusion just disaapeared. Best wishes dear troy

great keeps getting better!
Troy presents all the content I want to learn, the context I want learn it it! Thanks Troy.
Thanks John! more to come!
Awesome explanations!!! Absolutely love it!
Amazing! Pure 🏅
Thanks!
Thank you very much teacher, it is very helpful !!!
You’re very welcome 😊
This is a great approach to scales and I highly recommend it.
Well thank you! Please share it!
Immensely useful in moving forward from positional pattern.
Thanks. And I'll be hitting that issue more specifically in part 3... but can't really do that without the tonal center issue being fully understood

That's awesome! thank for letting me know!
Wonderful video, can you able to make video on how to play extended pentatonic scales with fingering details...
I tend to offer overview concepts here on youtube, and put the nitty gritty details on patreon.com/TroyStetina but I'll think about it😊
Great videos Troy - I've got speed mechanics 1 and fretboard mastery, great educational books!
Very cool! thank you

@@TroyStetinaMusic Right, just what I thought (my analogy wasn't that well formulated). Thank you very much Troy, I appreciate the help.

Glad it was helpful! And thank you for the feedback
Excellent video as usual, Troy! Will Master Mechanics have a special chapter about scale practicing? All the best
Yes, a full module on that subject is in the works
I'm always "killed" by Troy's sartorial humour with his T-Shirts. Having all his books I'm eagerly awaiting SM2 :-)
😲👍
@@TroyStetinaMusic Yeah, good old Ludwig and one of his well known Piano Sonatas...

Rock on!
one addition i would add under the "doubling for reliability".... it gives your brain a second to prepare yourself of where you are going next. if you shorten it down to only one run per time, it might feel too quick?
Yes, I think you're absolutely right... that the repetition also gives your mind a bit more time to sit on it and absorb it. Good point.
As a beginner I am so happy to hear this clear lesson. NO ONE has taken time like this to explain in such details. That I know of.

Sounds like a valiant attempt! But, yeah, unfortunately it's not the best way to go
I mean in 1:33secs 😅
Thank you sensei
you bet! parts 2, 3, 4 coming Saturdays through November
That's great
thanks!
Muitíssimo obrigado!!!
love the T shirt
is guitar mastery method zztop because i know that they are the kkk and i was learning scales from some dude named owen videos.
