You're so right about the clickbait titles! A lot of these 'teachers' just use RUclips as an advertising platform for their paid lessons. I returned to learning guitar at about the same time I discovered RUclips and got totally suckered at first. There is NO fast way, just hard work and repetition.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. There's some really great stuff on RUclips. And - people making money is a good thing as long as they're offering quality content. But as you said if you're going to get good you're going to need to do some work! Stay away from "the easy way to sound AMAZING" type stuff!
There are a lot of very excellent players and im sure teachers on You Tube, and I have taught guitar lessons for many years and studied with some of the best. The problem is that most of what you see on U Tube is geared towards people that already have a degree of chops and a pretty good understanding of music theory.Nobody is stressing that learning to play the guitar is a long,time consuming life long exercise in intestinal fortitude, perseverance,dedication, and determination. Hours of practice. Its like a gymnast- your trying to synchronize your brain, your left and right hands to work together in perfect unison. Somebody should show the baby steps. Most young viewers that view some of these U Tube videos have no idea what d hell an A13flat5flat9 is, let alone what to do with it or even know how to finger it on the fretboard. It takes a LONG time become real good on the guitar
Beng an excellent player is one thing but having encyclopedic knowledge of a subject matter does not in and of itself make someone a good teacher, and that's not confined to music. How many of these videos so you see where the only person that can understand the presentation is the presenter ?
This is so true! I was helping a friend with a tune that had a sus chord. He wanted to know what it meant & I said suspended. He laughed and said how much time will I have to spend to get this suspended chord down? All I could do was smile and say just messing with you, as long as it takes, it's all up to you. LoL.
You are absolutely right. Hit the nail right on the head. It is like taking someone who does finger painting and telling him that you know a way to paint like Pacso!
I'll hopefully add something to your astute observation. I fond that many if not most of the "instruction" in these videos is given by people that have no idea how to teach something. Having encyclopedic knowledge of subject matter does not necessarily make you a good teacher of said subject matter, especially to someone new to what's being taught. There's a reason school teachers for example must getting a certificate to teach, you have to have an understanding of the process of learning to increase the possibility the learner is getting something from the instruction. How many times have you gotten about 5-7 minutes into one of these so-called "secret to success" videos before you start saying to yourself "Jeez, I had no idea this guy spoke Swahili"? I stay away from any advice or instruction on any subject that starts with "the 5 things, the 12 habits, the 3 secrets, the 7 ways".
Great video. I'm an old dude who has played a long time. First I learned to play by rote. Then I learned to play by modes/patterns/scales. Then I learned how to play by theory. Then I learned to play by ear. Still didn't feel like I could play like I wanted to. Still searching for that superscale you are talking about. Then I heard something that changed everything. Something Waylon Jennings said to a guitar player that asked what he should play. Waylon said, "Try the melody."
Charlie I am taking your Pentatonics class but every time I watch you play I feel like I am never going to get this whole scale thing. You are inspirational and I will just have to keep on truckin.
Watching the photo of the video I was like: OK we talk about almost all the notes of the chromatic scale and immediately understood that something important might come from this video, and I was right! Great lesson not only for guitar but for life in general. There is no easy way. Memorizing patterns may make you a decent player but understanding in depth the elements of music makes you a good musician.
Wow, you know what your definitely on to something because I say to myself sometimes while listening to blues cats like T-Bone Walker I can hear cromatcisim in there but none of the guitar gurus on RUclips are really talking about it. Great video 🎸🎶🎶✨
You got me on the first half, I'm not gonna lie haha. Good one Charlie, I took a good lesson from the video to practice on and at the same time it was somehow inspiring. Cheers
I hope no one watches this, because it's mine. All mine. Learn alot here. I knew before but when I saw you doing, I realized this is the golden rule. Thanks
Memorized finger patterns = repetitions (Uh didn't you just do that in the OTHER solo??) This is one of the best scale videos I've come across! "There IS NO 'secret super scale'!" Hindustani scale modes use a LOT of what "sound like" chromatic accidentals. It's the main characteristic that led me to study sitar. Several Indian raga 'modes' use differing scale tones depending on whether it's an ascending or descending passage. As fate would have it, having the great, late Harihar Rao as my instructor was truly the opportunity of a lifetime.
Thank you so much for uploading this lesson, sometimes a little push in the right direction is all we need, I know I have learned so much from your words of wisdom. I have liked and subscribed I feel this is the very least I can do to show my appreciation, and I hope everyone watching does the same. One again thank you.
You're EXACTLY CORRECT: Pracrice how you want to play! That's true in every single field: military, emergency management, music, sports, you name it. I don't understand why other ppl have so much trouble. I'm certainly not a pro, but i can jam pretty good. When I'm practicing, i might create a chord progression on the looper and jam to it. I just make up riffs. I'll just start, create a "theme" or motif, and then gradually expand on it with different variations. Sometimes i do "call and response." But i NEVER play scales! I play musical riffs. It's easy! Just start out with 4 notes: start with i note below the root, and 2 notes above (include the root note). Then go from there. As you gain more experience, you can come up with more complicated riffs. But, always, always, always create a motif to build on. Don't be afraid to try new things! You're practicing by yourself, not putting on a concert. Try varying the motif in different ways. When something sounds good, you'll know it! Finally, play like you mean it. With confidence, conviction. If you play tentatively, none of it will sound good (to you or anyone else). But right now, you're just playing for yourself, experimenting. So don't be afraid. Be bold! Vary the intensity of the different notes. (Some hard, some soft). Whatever it takes. Good luck! 👌 👍
Excellent lesson. Just subscribed. Also that SRV riff at the end also works great by hitting the c to c# and then the g to g# which makes a nice chromatic line resolving to a.
I had a scale pocket book that I had for years until over 10 years ago that I got from Total Guitar mag free- cds showing you how to play with like pink Floyd s first riff wig out ! It said on the cover which was interstella overdrive that main 5 chord patient riff as its a long middle of psychedelic notes that surprisingly I like especially watching syd recording it in colour,I never liked instrumental s ,ozric Tentacle s if your familiar with are the only instrumental band I like ,anyways throu the years as as I've worked over half my life I've forgot some good lead and stuff like shine on you crazy d ,but thought major minor or raga scale is all u need like Peter Frampton mastered the major p scale ,the fact I use a looper as well so I make a lot of short riffs up sounding funky from blues pentatonic it has a groove especially in E but id like to learn more as its different.
I‘ve been playing some Flamenco the last year and this broke open the fretboard for me. The full Flamenco scale has 11 notes. And of course, it doesn’t make sense learning the full scale. You need to learn what sounds good when. Also, on acoustic guitar it opens up ways to play chords like you never played them before to give you this rich Flamenco sound. Also, suddenly you understand why line clichés sound so great.
Thank you!!! Now somebody's telling the truth here. Infinite is the word for guitar, or any instrument for that matter. Enjoy & spend your whole life learning. Also I'm a huge promoter of Sweetwater. Thanks J.D.
I. like you, get a little tired of and amused with all the guitar "secrets" on you tube but.... usually you can find one or two ideas in these video that add something to your vocabulary, even if it's nothing magical.
I didn't read the description and just before you said it at around 8 minutes I said to myself , "why not just play every note on the fretboard while you're at it."
Great stuff! Is your advice/teaching to learn these few shapes you showed? Get them in muscle memory or are you saying to do something else? Sorry if I didn’t get it if you already said what to practice.
😎👍👍👍How about it? Wow some of this really clicked in. I've been playing all my life, and yes, already know some of this. But you added a couple that I can see the truth of. Auto sub share and like.❤❤❤
Dude I almost clicked off this video when I realized it was all chromatic. Then you le the cat out of the bag and I laughed out loud. ha ha Thank you for the awesome lesson.
You're welcome Charlie. I used to play guitar often, now I play the viola after 6 years of violin lessons lol. I'm going to play those scales on the viola to see how they sound, and also as a diversion from my lessons. I'm gonna get the guitar going again too! Great stuff you have there!
Be nice if you had given us the TAB for the blues lick you played early in the video , I’m a beginner and your explanation and examples are way to fast, unless you already have a lot of theory knowledge plus you’ve memorized notes, I have learnt the pentatonic scale and know some chords and your first example of one of the shapes left me with more questions than answers😂. Be very helpful to give us some nice licks in tab form. Just to have something to use as nice start. I’ll keep practicing and thanks for uploading.
Scales are sand the floor paint the fence. It doesn’t teach you how to fight, but it does muscle memory you so you know where the hell you are in the middle of a fight. It’s a reference point, learning how to stand before you try to crane kick. It’s ok to teach a young player a scale. Just teach it horizontal and vertical. When they’re comfortable with it, teach them degrees, not notes. What baffles me is why anyone talks about notes at all. We should only be talking about degrees.
I always thought the way To do it and sound interesting is to learn the melody of whatever song you're trying to play and use that as your guide. Where does the melody fall on the chords etc. Then use any knowledge of the scale to move from one chord to the next and sound like whatever song you're playing. A bunch of fast random notes has never impressed me.
Glad I watched the entire vid. I was just going to give you a rash of s@$t and then watched your explanation. It would be nice if you toned down on the distortion. 😃.
This lesson is so important! Don’t just memorise the patterns, learn to hear them & feel them. Learn to hum/sing each of the intervals in any combination from memory. It’s like placing a pound of C4 explosives in your fingertips. Be gentle with yourself, it may take some time, but the rewards are exponential!
Passing tones... keys to the guitar highway! Knowing where to use them... Somewhere to use those those passing tone (like Charlie said) is something you have to learn is the juicy part.
Learn fret intervals up and down one string. Distances of 3 frets up,4 frets up 7 frets up 9 frets up etc. The same down the string. Other games such as as 3 frets up and then 5 down etc. Really mix it up. Phrasing and rhythm far outrank scale knowledge. Hendrix used to do this.
There's this guy with hand tattoos, a beard anda football jersey that gets on an advertisement saying that there is one thing that determines whether a beginner guitar player will succeed or fail. His self satisfied gaze is pretty annoying. What is worse though is that he says there is one thing with that self satisfied air. He is straight up wrong. There is not one thing that will determine whether you succeed or fail. In fact, unless you don't play at all, you cannot possibly fail. So Fuk him and play your guitar with no trippin. Have fun. Play hard and often.
I gotta admit, I fell for the bait. But we do that because we're desperate, not gullible. Me, I want to know what to practice and quit wasting time doodling, noodling and playing crap I already know. What's the best possible use of practice time, I guess is what I'm saying....is there anyone else who needs to figure out which way is the right direction?
Hey Ken! I think one of the best things a guitarist can do is to make an honest list of where they are NOW in their playing versus where they want to be. What skills you have versus what skills you need to play like you want to. And revisit that every 90 days or so to make sure you stay on track. Otherwise it’s easy to get “lost in the weeds”
That was good. You just almost lost me but managed to save me when you said this is all BS. I'm not a super great guitar player....but I've been playing a good long time and when you were explaining the Super Scale........I said who the hell knows any of this crap? You were redeemed in the second half of the video with good content........yep....you had me
7:45 - you had me going there, Charlie! :D That rant is so important - so many people just trying to find an easy way out instead of actually putting in the work to learn your scales, manipulate them and really LISTENING to them. On that note, I like these scale combinations you're playing with and will have to screw around with them later!
Adam Gussow (superb harmonica player on YT) said you have to do the 200 hours in the shed - he's right. Sure, there are shortcuts, but practice makes perfect. The most important skill I have learned over 40 years of guitar playing is listening: you can noodle all day up , down and in and around scales but hitting the right note on the right chord is the key to good soloing. Listening to the chords and matching your note to that chord is the way to think of great soloing. Also, if you like the way something sounds, so will someone else.
I need to get used to the idea of all the added notes, but I am so glad that in the minor pentatonic you add the flatted fifth. I do this a lot and also add the sharp 7th, This might be called the blues scale adding major seventh. To me, the minor pentatonic and the blues scale are like twins anyway.

100% correct 💯👌
One great exercise is to try and play the melody of the lyrics, it's morte instinctive and intuitive.
I’ve done a video on that also 😎
Excellent lesson! I really liked the graphics and the whole breakdown.
Great video. I'm an old dude who has played a long time. First I learned to play by rote. Then I learned to play by modes/patterns/scales. Then I learned how to play by theory.

You could make a career out of playing melodies well and embellishing them!

You're EXACTLY CORRECT: Pracrice how you want to play!
That's true in every single field: military, emergency management, music, sports, you name it.
I don't understand why other ppl have so much trouble.
I'm certainly not a pro, but i can jam pretty good.
When I'm practicing, i might create a chord progression on the looper and jam to it.
I just make up riffs.
I'll just start, create a "theme" or motif, and then gradually expand on it with different variations.

Is your advice/teaching to learn these few shapes you showed?
Get them in muscle memory or are you saying to do something else? Sorry if I didn’t get it if you already said what to practice.
Yep, learn those shapes…be able to play them all over the fretboard, in all keys. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!!

Thanks so much!! Sometimes hearing something you already know a slightly different way really makes it click!!!
How come, you didn’t play some examples of what we could do with this scale
Finally someone else telling the truth. 💎

Y u confused people man that's penta whit mixolidian
You must be some type of professor of music the way you talk and play
One big rant...
Ep531 I
Too much distortion for a lesson!
If you really don't realise what's said in the introduction by own intuition, you shouldn't play an instrument. That's my take.
& your take is garbage
Glad I watched the entire vid. I was just going to give you a rash of s@$t and then watched your explanation. It would be nice if you toned down on the distortion. 😃.
So, every note except the flat 2? OK then.
This lesson is so important! Don’t just memorise the patterns, learn to hear them & feel them. Learn to hum/sing each of the intervals in any combination from memory. It’s like placing a pound of C4 explosives in your fingertips. Be gentle with yourself, it may take some time, but the rewards are exponential!
Thanks so much Mike. Not sure how many people will hear the message but you sure did!!! Rock on!
Yes, great message. Distortion is a bit over board.
have to agree on the distortion

Humming improvs really expands your melodic vocabulary. It's an essential part of my own teaching method
Passing tones... keys to the guitar highway! Knowing where to use them... Somewhere to use those those passing tone (like Charlie said) is something you have to learn is the juicy part.

Nice lookin' guitar you got there to say the least. Light gold speed knobs would really set that body off.
Thank you Sir for sharing your knowledge...more power Sir !!!
God bless..

Charlie you are a treasure. Nice to know there are still real people out there. Bless you my friend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a great comment!! Thanks for watching!!!
I gotta admit, I fell for the bait. But we do that because we're desperate, not gullible. Me, I want to know what to practice and quit wasting time doodling, noodling and playing crap I already know. What's the best possible use of practice time, I guess is what I'm saying....is there anyone else who needs to figure out which way is the right direction?
Hey Ken! I think one of the best things a guitarist can do is to make an honest list of where they are NOW in their playing versus where they want to be. What skills you have versus what skills you need to play like you want to. And revisit that every 90 days or so to make sure you stay on track. Otherwise it’s easy to get “lost in the weeds”

Love it!!! Thanks for commenting!!! 🎸🔥🎶🔥🎸
That was good. You just almost lost me but managed to save me when you said this is all BS. I'm not a super great guitar player....but I've been playing a good long time and when you were explaining the Super Scale........I said who the hell knows any of this crap? You were redeemed in the second half of the video with good content........yep....you had me
Thanks for the fun comment and hanging in there long enough for the payoff!!
Sorry Charlie, we don`t want guitar players with good taste.
We want guitar players that TASTE GOOD!
Ha!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
7:45 - you had me going there, Charlie! :D That rant is so important - so many people just trying to find an easy way out instead of actually putting in the work to learn your scales, manipulate them and really LISTENING to them.
On that note, I like these scale combinations you're playing with and will have to screw around with them later!
Great stuff Charlie . Love the Patreon ! Congratulations are in order . Jon st Louis , Missouri’ ❤️🎸☮️
Thanks so much Jon!! Look forward to meeting you sometime soon!!
Adam Gussow (superb harmonica player on YT) said you have to do the 200 hours in the shed - he's right. Sure, there are shortcuts, but practice makes perfect. The most important skill I have learned over 40 years of guitar playing is listening: you can noodle all day up , down and in and around scales but hitting the right note on the right chord is the key to good soloing. Listening to the chords and matching your note to that chord is the way to think of great soloing. Also, if you like the way something sounds, so will someone else.
Right on!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
Quality lesson. Highlighting the magic of the major 3rd added to the minor pentatonic blues, as well as the connection to dominant chords. Excellent
@@SMGMusic14 thanks so much!!!!

Awww man my pleasure!! Glad you’re enjoying the vids!!
Thank you Maestro !!! The secret knowledge to see the fretboard it is unveiled
Thank you for watching and commenting!!!
I need to get used to the idea of all the added notes, but I am so glad that in the minor pentatonic you add the flatted fifth. I do this a lot and also add the sharp 7th, This might be called the blues scale adding major seventh. To me, the minor pentatonic and the blues scale are like twins anyway.
Im lost.
The fretboard and what your playing doesn't always match.
G R E A T M A N !!!
