A big thank you. While you were demonstrating the first box I thought to myself will he show us where else we can play this, and you did! And then I thought can these be linked? Yes, you did that as well!! Lots to learn and enjoy here. Again, thanks Marc.

This one is genius Marc. Now you've gotten a whole load of people, with a few minutes of practice every day, able to jam along to a blues backing track without freezing up at the thought of learning scales and a whole load (well there are only 5 max) of shapes of the minor pentatonic scale. And you've ripped the useful meat & potatoes out of those positions. Lots of people will take a big step forward from this Marc.

A lot to learn with just few notes used, The right way to develop expessivity for me. Simplicity, efficacity, personnality, may be the spirit of the blues. Simple but good lesson 👍 Sorry for the approximate english and all the best for the end of the year.

Great video. You have come a long way in a short time. The one thing that I might suggest (if you have not done so already) is to tab out a few of your improvised licks that you use with your backing track. I believe this would be a great addition to your videos.

@@JuzzaDaMuzza The 4 notes are frets 8 and 10 on both the D and G string. KZfaq has functions to allow you to slow down the video, loop sections, etc so you can go over the intro section.
