Nut on the right, with the strings right side up, heavier, strings on top skinnier strings on bottom, regardless of what people say I’ve never understood the upside down the guitar neck. It’s so much easier looking at it the way I see you playing it with the nut on the right Jules guitar uses it in his tutorials and it’s so much easier to follow. Thank you for asking, and thank you for all the great lessons you do !
Left-nut graphics always makes the most sense for me in guitar tutorial videos, it’s the way right-handed players look at the guitar neck who, unfortunately for lefty players, are in the majority. Great explanation of these concepts by the way 😊
Great lesson, thank you. I figured it out but I do prefer the 6th string on top. Just makes more sense to me and is what I’m used to. But these lessons are valuable either way you do it and I appreciate them all. Cheers
Very good video. I like to add the blues notes to the pentatonic scale when playing on a rock song. You could also do a video on the 5 positions of the pentatonic scale if you haven't already.
My preference is nut on the left like it was in this video. If I'm not mistaken, guitar tabulature also has the nut on the left. By the way, thanks for asking. And great explanation and demo!
I disagree, whoever started tablet that way made it the most confusing thing, I always thought it should be as though you’re facing the guitar player with the nut on the right and neck right side up
Good video. Some genres you can't play the Natural minor scale blues is one of them there are some modes of the major scale that work good in the blues though.
While I can read it easily mirroring doesn't make sense to me. It's probably easier for beginners, but I'd argue looking at another fretboard is a useful skill. The conventional way directly aligns with the fretboard even. Such a simplification similar to tabs seems like good choice for Patreon.
I haven’t watched the video yet, but I like the topic. I started thinking about the “extra” pentatonic notes when I was improving while listening to Santana I was like, ~”I can’t follow while remaining in the pentatonic. . . “ Ha
I prefer the way Jules does it, whoever started the thing with tablet or been with an upside down neck never worked for me always seem confusing, I would prefer the orientation would be as if I am facing the guitar teacher with the nut on the right and the stringsright side up
I guess unless someone would be left-handed, then the diagrams with the nut on the left would probably be more natural. They simply correspond to what right-handed people would see looking downward at the fretboard of their guitar. Moreover the same orientation is actually in use by tabs, enabling to have bass notes (as their name and their pitch suggest) logically at the lowest side.
Thats kind of funny. Now you showing us beginners major and minor are much more interesting. It's true, but the benefit of using pentatonic is to simply don't care are we in major or minor.... but you are right, if we are able to manage this, its way more to "say" with the guitar
What do you guys think about the fretboard diagrams? Nut on the LEFT or on the RIGHT? Leave a comment and let me know! 😊
Nut on the right please.
perfect
Right for me
On the left! I don't have to flip it around in my head.
Left side

Jules guitar uses it in his tutorials and it’s so much easier to follow.
Thank you for asking, and thank you for all the great lessons you do !
I totally 100% agree
Good work Andrew ! You keep it simple, not giving the running around like other RUclipsrs…

Love the left-nut graphics. Definitely prefer over right hand
Cool. Thanks for letting me know :)
on those diagrams at first i thought yours were bassackwards but i got use to them going back now its a tossup both are workable
Great lesson, thank you. I figured it out but I do prefer the 6th string on top. Just makes more sense to me and is what I’m used to. But these lessons are valuable either way you do it and I appreciate them all.
Cheers
Much better this format
I prefer but on left. Thanks
Awesome, thanks!
Great lesson!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching ☺
Love the left-nut graphics!
Cool. I appreciate you letting me know!
I much prefer the fretboard as it was before Andrew found myself getting a little lost now lol
Thanks for letting me know, Steve. ☺
This is the fretboard layout that is most intuitive for me , Great Lesson ! 😊
Much better with the diagrams like this. Thank you for your lessons!
Cool. Appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching!
I definately like this way on the diagrams better. Thanks
Cool! Appreciate the feedback. ☺
Prefer diagrams with nut on left. It’s visually similar to tab diagrams.
Allows me to take your concepts and apply to songs I’m learning.
Appreciate you taking the time to let me know. Cheers!
All graphics you show are easily understandable. Thanks Andrew.
Fretboard diagram this way is much better imo. 👍
Thanks for letting me know!
Me too!
Good one! Thank you
I like it on the left
Very good video. I like to add the blues notes to the pentatonic scale when playing on a rock song. You could also do a video on the 5 positions of the pentatonic scale if you haven't already.
Totally! And I do have one. Kind of. It's more about connecting them all here: ruclips.net/video/fZ7nVnhm3VE/видео.html
awesome & informative video, thanks!
No problem :)

I like the new look- just because all of the books I have do it that way
On a major sales, go to the 6th interval of major sales play the pentatonic which is the" relative" minor.
That's right!
I prefer the new diagrams. Great lesson
Thanks
Make that video bro! I’m dying to learn a bunch of cool ways to slide all about through the pentatonic positions
Finally left-nut graphics. Thank youuu

Your fretboard is correct in this video. How you look down at the guitar.
Hello Andrew it would be helpful if you could put note names on each circle?.maybe different colours for added notes .
Eres el mejor mi rey ❤ como explicas god bles you
I haven’t watched the video yet, but I like the topic. I started thinking about the “extra” pentatonic notes when I was improving while listening to Santana I was like, ~”I can’t follow while remaining in the pentatonic. . . “ Ha
Santana makes a lot of use of the modes as well. Which basically takes the major or minor scale and starts it at a different point. :)
Hi, Andrew. I much prefer the way you did it before. This one seems way more complicated to me and messes with my head. 😅
Hi, Best: Put the fretboard from top to the bottom. Left-Right discussion will stop.
That's a good suggestion!
I prefer the way Jules does it, whoever started the thing with tablet or been with an upside down neck never worked for me always seem confusing, I would prefer the orientation would be as if I am facing the guitar teacher with the nut on the right and the stringsright side up
diagrams are so much better in this video
right
Left 😊

Hi Andrew, great video as usual. Can you make a video to show how to combine hammer on with some chords to make our rythem guitar more melodic .
How can I relate to you am very happy with your teaching and can understand you very clearly thanks but wants to interact with u please
Hey! You can send me an email at andrewclarkeguitar@gmail.com. Cheers!
Thats kind of funny. Now you showing us beginners major and minor are much more interesting. It's true, but the benefit of using pentatonic is to simply don't care are we in major or minor.... but you are right, if we are able to manage this, its way more to "say" with the guitar
Nice vid will watch later (First comment btw)
Thanks!
Left is better
First time watching your videos, but left nut 100000%
Hi Andrew. Great vids ! I think conventional view with the nut on the right is easier to interpret, as this is the way you look at someone playing.
Agree with you. It's confusing for me.
I am a leftie
