I just learned my open chords first and used my ear to find the notes on the next position and then I progressively found the same notes on the neck I started with all the A's and then the B's and so on. Also used the diagonal root technique to find root notes quickly when soloing. eventually I knew the whole neck lol I didn't even learn caged but it makes a lot of sense.

I remember going to a live bar band back in the day that didn't run the guitar amp through the PA. Depending on where you were in the room the guitar was either drowning out everything else or it could barely be heard. One whole side of the room the vocals, drums, and bass sounded fine, but the guitar was almost non-existent. It just sounded like ass. The bar wasn't top notch so they didn't have a PA, and the band was just a bunch of kids so their little PA was just for vocals. I was just playing guitar for a few years by that point and knew nothing about all that stuff, but I remember the sound. Years later and a few amps later was when I realized that guitar amps sound is more like a flashlight beam, where a bass guitar is more like a lantern. I've seen some good sounding bands that didn't mic up the guitar amps but they had good room acoustics and experience setting up on their side. But overall, running a guitar amp through the PA is the approach to use if you want everyone there to hear the guitar, not just the handful of people within that "flashlight beam" of sound.

Brand/model of that amp stand @12:40 please

Great content brother!

You did it again Blue!!! Great video, excelente explicación, Gracias!!

Couple of things worth mentioning while explaining modal scales: 1. The notes that are flattened or sharpened compared with the major scale of the root note of the mode. e.g. in this context, the major scale (G major) with the flattened 7th (b7) gives the G mixolydian scale. 2. The importance of practicing the modes starting with the same root note. e.g. practicing G Ionian, G Dorian, G Mixolydian starting at the same root note on the fretboard. It not only gives the reference from the major scale, but also serves as a ear training method to understand or differentiate between the sound/character of each mode. In the end, it’s all about the ear‘s perception than anything else!

Wow. After all these years. Just, wow.

ugh, just take my money. too much content out there that can't bring it together like you Blue, awesome job.

I found Night Moves easy, the song that gives me issues is "Listen To The Music" by The Doobie Brothers.

This is an incredible lesson. Tons of info all packed into 16 minutes. Well done! And I'm loving the graphics.

eu sei usar o ; em português kkkkkk abraço!!!

Another fantastic lesson where you connect chords and triads to scales. I’m loving book 2. Cheers

Nice lesson. 50k soon

I remember my first guitar teacher wanting me to read music, learn the major scale in all positions and other not so helpful things. I never understood the basics of how music works, like 1 -4 -5 are the major chords! Almost everything I needed to learn is in this one lesson. Love this channel, I always learn something and it puts me in a good mood.

All the stuff I practice and more...thanks!

I think practicing pick direction is important. Some people (many, perhaps) have trouble with it. I used to, back when I played decades ago. But recently, when I started back playing regularly, I was suddenly good with my picking technique! I usually don't even pay attention. When I do, I notice that I change direction often, without even thinking about it, I just do what's required for the passage. Overall, this video was great! I really like the way you introduced all the concepts to practice (BTW, I have replaced my terminology with yours for the pentatonic shapes, lol). I'm going to integrate it with my practice, even though I've been proceeding fairly quickly. I think your method will supercharge my own! Finally, your books are awesome! I've only got the first "solo" book, but i plan to get Vol II. Keep it up, Blue! You're awesome. 👍 👌 🤪

So, you can put silly (and confusing) nicknames to pentatonic shapes, but using 'diagonal pentatonics' is a crime now?🥲

Blue, are you ever going to do a Book 2 for your strumming series? I really liked the first one.

Have you ever lost something precious and been looking for days and then suddenly someone comes to you and hands it to you and says "were you looking for this?". Well this lesson made me feel just like that. I'm so glad you made it. Your channel should be 39 million subscriber to be faire. Thanks.

1:34 how fast would you say we should be able to run thru the 5 positions? you running thru the Amin Position here, is Blistering quick. also, once I move my hand up or down the neck my thumb doesnt know where or what angle to be

Great! As an intermediate guitarist stuck at that level for 35 years I struggle to find a practice routine outline that works. Right now I’m trying three minutes of spider walk variations for the left hand, move on to cross picking for two or three minutes for the right hand and coordination, then go through my saved UA-cam lessons and/or work on learning songs. It requires a discipline and a timer.

First ....to say.. Thank you for a daily routine

When I used to gig in the late 60's, I had a Kustom Bass Amp with a 300w head, dual cabinets with blow holes and 2 15" CTS speakers in each cabinet. I used to think that was perfect. It shook the walls. But, it really did blend in with the drummer and lead guitar. Our lead guitar had a one cabinet Marshall amp, and we kicked ass with those. I recently took up the lead and bass guitar again after being away from it for over 50 years. I often wonder what it would have been like to have UA-cam when I was younger back in the day. WOW! At the time, I didn't realize how little we knew about music, I mean miniscule, yet, we were good enough to get gigs friday and saturday. BTW, I have increased my musical knowledge by 900% with a lot of room left, cause UA-cam. I plan to practive another year befor I ventue out into the hard, cold world. So, last year I decided to get back with music again. I got a starter guitar and it was recommended I get a little 3 watt Blackstar Amp. And I laughed my ass off. 3 effing wats 🤣you gotta be kidding me! Well, I got the amp(s) for bass and lead. I stuck in the power cord and cranked it up and HOLY EFFING CRAP! 😲...So, really...maybe about 12 amps would be big enough to gig with? OMFG!....What a difference 54 years make. I'm going to subscribe to your channel. I need all the help I can get...apparently.

What an awesome starting point. You could lose a whole day messing with this

Great video. Thanks a lot!

Enjoying book one.

Hey...you are a great teacher! Easy to understand and not boring or too technical.

AWESOME LESSON!! What confuses me is which shape to use in whatever key it's in..... Just when I think I get it, something proves me wrong.. My question is .. Can you start in the key of C and use a different pentatonic pattern or no matter what key I'm in, it always starts with The first pattern? Old ass covid guitarist let me have it LOL!! constructive crit is necessary! LOL

Used to enjoy your videos but now they are just more ads goodbye

Finally, you're THE guy that puts it all together. Thank you so much!

My mind has felt like a dam, with all this knowledge I’ve been learning building up - unable to flow, pressure mounting up as it pushes again the dam It feels like you just came along and unlocked a door in the dam and everything just flooded out. Instant subscribe

I learned the seven note scales up the neck while waiting for pages to load with dial up. I should have been learning the pentatonic scale positions.

Great lesson! I think the loose terminology in the guitar world around “triads” is a bit confusing for learners. Why do we call the 4-pitch root position A-minor shape a “triad” but not the full 6-pitch bar chord shape? Technically both are triads because they contain only 3 notes.

Sir, I just wanted to say thank you for everything you post. You really have a talent for teaching! GREAT JOB!!!

This song taught me to play bar chords. That said you only sing over the G and C - like Bob does in the Bridge (woke last night…). Consider start out doing that.

Really like how this matched some very basic things I (and most of us) already know.. into something only slightly larger but then SO practical and useful.. and in each section it's immediately shown how to use each in a cool and versatile way. And really appreciate the laid back 🇨🇦 (it seems to me) style. Subscribed for sure.

Keith's hands have so much arthritis the open tuning is less difficult to play- for the rest, he's got Woodie

You are a fantastic teacher. I really like the way you precisely explain the techniques and example the techniques without getting out in the woods with too much extra detail. You give the foundational knowledge that allows the student to experiment and develop. You are my go to for learning new stuff. Awesome job!

Do you have any lessons on double stops?

Ihave watched several teachers for several years. You are by far light-years ahead of any one else. So many lightbulb moments. THANK YOU, FOR ALL YOU DO FOR ALL OF US!!!!!

Thank you!

It's the harpsichord sound. It's great, but that's all it is.

Tremendous lesson. Best music teacher on the internet. Best looking music teacher on the internet, too! 😉👍

I recently came across your video. I am located in the province south of Vancouver, Washington State.😅 I am delighted to have discovered your teaching. I am currently working on expanding my flatpicking repertoire, and I find your teaching style to be very beneficial.

Thanks blue,really well explained.all makes sense.

Great tip. Makes perfect sense since the D, G & B strings are the same in standard and open G. My Tele will still be a 5 string in open G, but this gives me some new ideas for the 6 string standard tuned Strat.

Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful weekend also happy father's day ❤😊

Just fuck play ...stop talking !!!!

A livestream would be great, excellent lesson btw.
