Another vital information packed lesson. There is so much click bait around on YT guitar channels, thankfully Brian doesn't follow that trend, he doesn't need to. Great content every time.
thanks Brian you never fail to give a great lesson , it's as if you know where we are all struggling, and you switch on light bulbs just at the right time, enjoying all the content on your site
Brian should be the only teacher allowed on the internet. It is like he knows exactly when and what we are struggling with then clears it all up so concise and fluid. Can’t stop thanking you enough and am so happy to be a member of your website as well.
Just returned home from a weeks caravan holiday ... watching this new lesson was a fantastic way to unwind and bring the day to an end. As usual, awesome subject, and fantastic concise detail ... our very own Mr Kelly never fails to deliver. Thank-you Brian.
Hey Brian, crystal clear explanation once more and great bluesy applications too. I would highly recommend you do all the other possible sequel parts. Intervals are life.
Here is the next video that I did regarding intervals: www.zombieguitar.com/how-to-play-diagonal-pentatonic-runs/ The next one is going to be graded towards 12 bar blues soloing, which will be out next week sometime!
Everytime i see a new lesson from you I am guaranteed to immediately pickup anew skill or hone down on otherskills so I dont doubt where I am at on the fretboard. Amazing!
The absolute best, most effective, and truest way to get thru to aspiring musicians is demonstrated in this power packed lesson. My guess is a few viewers did not understand a real jem and nugget Mr. Kelly laid out in NUMBERS! Well to some he started talking Greek when he said the NATURAL MINOR SCALE but in beautiful laymen terms he layed it out in numbers 1-2-b3-4-5-b6-b7. Mystery solved, yepper that scale has 3 flats. Music is numbers, and seeing solo's displayed in numbers and how the player is utilizing those numbers is mind opening, I hope future videos continue to feature numbers and this becomes the main stream because names and dots = mental blocks when the math is not there.
@@zombieguitar Thats what I say, a little less theory and a lot more numbers. include numbers and quickly prove or disprove the benefit, it will be a big one, this video was.
I've only been a subscriber for a short while. Yet, in that time, your lessons have already given me more "light-bulb" moments than any other channel. Even better, I've found that as a person with a really busy schedule, they're easy to implement. Well done, Brian. Teaching others is not an easy task; your videos are nailing it out of the park.
For those of "us" who are not Clapton, Van Halen, the list goes on... We need this stuff to educate our fingers; thanks! Brutal image of Niki below; how pleasant!
This is so good!!! Learning boxes is good to get you playing something, but this is the real stuff. The "why." The intervalic relations are so useful to know! Thank you for this!
the theory stuff i was kind of getting before this vid, but your practical application of theory on the fret board is absolutely eye opening. Thanks again Brian for posting your lessons!!
Amazing Brian, your videos always lift my playing by another notch. Spent the day going over this and finding intervals all over the neck, it’s surprising how quick you start to see these intervals and how you then know where you can jump to on the neck to play the same riffs etc. Please can you do a part 2 on this. I’m now going over your intervals on the caged system video and diagrams. Great job Brian.
Great lesson! The visually marked intervals are very helpful for practice. I think it would be great if you did a video about ear training and associating these intervals to common tunes😁
The boxes you refer to will make wonderful great sence to you if you put the notes numbers in your patterns; one very, very, good out come knowing the notes number ( for example the Root is 1...etc. ) is your ear will certainly get training because your hearing the NUMBERS and you realize WOW that 1 & 5 rock, or by the numbers you do something like bend the 4 to the 5. Here is the point patterns and dots only say something is there, and whats there is a bunch of repeating 1-2-3-4-5-6 and 7's regardless of the key! When you see the numbers and play the boxes you are familiar with, take those numbers with you and try em out in the other patterns because the other patterns will now make sence to you having put the numbers to all.
thanks again Sir for enlightening those dont have the privilege to have guitar lesson thou there are few share free lesson but its different when someone explaining it cleary......thanks again Sir.....
Loved the lesson....helped me immensely. Couldn't figure out out to play out of the box....I basically strum chords; wanting to learn some licks. So yea..great lesson
nice lesson, thank you. I would suggest for your FB site a weekly challenge where you ask the group to compose a short, original short lick (say, 10-15 notes max?) with suggested and specific intervals to be included. Or - alternative, have your members search existing solos from the pros with the identified intervals. Would be a wonderful learning experience where you could then expand to ask for specific bends, pull-offs, legato etc to include in this "solo". Invoke participation. Just ideas.
It's exciting and mind blowing to see your favorite solos in number form. ABC's are really meaningless to 95% of players but 95% of players skills sky rocket when they are presented music in it's pure form of math. Congratulations to you because you are about to become the player you want to be, because your on the right track seeking to discover the numbers ( note )that are being used and how the various numbers ( notes ) are manipulated ( slide to, bent, vibrato, resolved to, etc.etc.etc.)
musicmathguru thank you - that’s what I’m doing now - analyzing solos to become a better soloist / guitarist - look at intervals and how they are being used in different chord transitions (Starting w/ guitar). This takes time! Brian has helped a lot as well in this regard - to spur me to begin deep diving in applied theory.
@@zombieguitar With respect to Guitar Haven I did say about a two weeks ago that note numbers would be HIGHLY effective for comprehension. No need to go deep theory on why a note or group of notes has it's number/s unless it is immediately relevant, each and every lesson by nature will expose deeper theory nuggats. I am not speaking about intervals, majors, minors, perfects or what have, just show em the numbers so they can make sence of the word and the box pattern you are riffing on. Words and patterns are a lock, numbers are the KEY. Mr. Kelly your amazing and Guitar Haven is about to break out!
Hey Brian, what about a lesson about sixths 😅 I see how you can use the shape skipping a string right on the same fret or a fret behind but I don't know how to apply it accurately to every chord or is it relative to the scale? I like to try and figure it out by myself but this stuff got me lost 😅 also yes part 2 thanks 🤪🔥🔥
Another superb lesson Brian. If when you were learning all over again, would you have practiced this method instead of trying to memorize 5 patterns for each scale all over the neck? This method seems logical to me although I have yet to try it this way. Thanks.
Hey glad you liked it. I'd say that I probably would not have practiced this in the beginning. To me the "5 pentatonic positions" seems more beginner-friendly...or at the very least pentatonic position #1 with the upper and lower extensions added. However there are some newer players that hate "box patterns" and resonate with the interval approach instead. For me "box patterns" made more sense in the beginning. I try to give many different "approaches" though. This way people can pick and choose which one to focus on 😀
It seems like we are replacing "Box Patterns" for "Interval Patterns". Is the key to this knowing where your root notes are up and down the neck? I struggle with memorizing all the note positions and can never do it in "real-time" while trying to solo over a backing track
Break away from visual patterns by whistling melodies before playing them. And also stopping to crouch and look at the board (bad posture+ear inhibition)
Ah great, ur stuff is made for my aspergers brain🤣 just almost one year playing guitar... ALONE god damn it.. Anyways, thanks a lot for this.. Awesome! Regards from finland! ❤️
Im sure in Steve Vai's book he says if he started again he would of practiced intervals and not scales. I disagree though and think both are important.

Cool 😎 Definitely would like to request parts 2, 3, 4 etc...
Copy that!
Part 2! Definitely, please.
Please do a part 2 for this video. Great content Brian 🔥🔥🔥
Hi! Brian I would like more interval videos, in my humble opinion I think they help so much and are taken for granted!!!🎸
Thank you Brian, you are the only guitar hero that I can comprehend. I’ve learned a lot about the guitar thanks to you. You’re the best.
Loved the lesson. Yes do follow up with more lessons.

Thanks man! 😁😁

To teach your ears a scale and not your eyes you must be able to sing it in different ways, patterns and directions, with precision.
