Fantastic lesson thank you. I’ve been playing around with the blues for a while and was doing ok but this has really opened some important doors for me to progress. The thing about playing the a major blues scale at the second fret was an eye opener . Many thanks

Wished you would have the guitar neck with fret one on the left side as is as vast majority of others. Can be quite distracting to have to mentally flip it round whilst trying to understand what you are trying to convey.

Really great lesson, perfectly explained, clear, concise, to the point but also very rich. Somehow I have learned all that previously but having it so well layed out helps me think again about how I can structure my solos. Instead of choosing lines from all notes of the blended scale, carefully switching from one 'level' to another is actually sounding very good and more coherent. Thanks

I like these lessons but I am having trouble reading the fretboard illustrations as it’s relative to the video. Any chance of rotating these by 180 degrees? I’m just very used to the Low E at the bottom left. Maybe guitar lesson should be shown with the video upside down so as to be relative to the viewer lol

Why do you have the "fretboard" the wrong way round? Distracts from the lesson. Turn it the right way or just get rid of it.

Why do you display the scales the other way around!!?? I don't get it!? It so confusing! In all instruction books, online lessons it is displayed the other way around. For the rest I really like your lessons!

Yes agree totally. The lessons are excellent and part of teaching is communicating the information. So I don't get this approach either, unless I played left handed. Sorry nothing against left handed players!

Hey. I like the idea of playing the pentatonic in diagonal way. It prevents me from noodling the scale up and down. But how can i transform this system to other keys?

@johnp.johnson1541 7 ай бұрын

There are no shapes nor positions. Scales are played from a tonic to the last tone before an octave however it is divided. Otherwise good lesson.

You don't understand playing from the tonic is the first position, and that "however it is divided" forms the pattern. Got it.

@johnp.johnson1541 7 ай бұрын

@@delllong3271 Someone does not understand playing guitar but that one is not me. There is no "first position". The blues scale is a hexatonic scale with these intervals: P m3 P4 A4 P5 m7. On a 24-fret guitar,there are 120 starting tones from which one can play the through. But you keep yourself inside your little boxes. Good luck though!

@johnp.johnson1541 7 ай бұрын

@@delllong3271 The tone you start a scale upon is the name of the scale. If you play this: D E♭ E G A C It is a 6-tone D scale . If play it thus: D E♭ E G A C D You play a 6-tone D scale diatonically. It has the same tones as the A blues scale, but it is not an A blues scale. The intervals are different. Focus on a pentatonic minor scale, as the blues scale is a superset of one. An A minor pentatonic scale can start on the fifth fret of E and end on the fifth fret of D, on the G tone. If you play it diatonically, then you play the A on the 7th fret. But if you start playing the tones above that A on D, things change. If you play from C to C diatonically these tones: C D E G A C, you have played a C Major pentatonic but not the A minor pentatonic. So your "shape", your weird way of thinking from your weird "first position" is combing two scales played diatonically: A mnor pentatonic and C Major pentatonic. Each of those scales has different interval relationships and thus sound differently. A minor 5: P m3 P4 P5 m7 C Major 5: P M2 M3 P5 M6 The tones are the same tones but not played in the same sequence. A minor pentatonic starting on the A on the D string ends on the G on B. To play it diatonically, you can end either on the A on B found at the 10th fret or on the A on the high E string found on the 5th fret. There are no positions on the guitar "first position, second position, and so on." There are only tones on the guitar sounded by fretting the strings based on the tuning of the strings being Perfect 4th intervals ascending in pitch, excepting between the string tuned G and string tuned B in standard tuning as the interval between those is a Major 3rd. And there are no shapes on the guitar. A shape is static. A silhouette of a person sketched in pencil is a shape. A scale is dynamic. It has motion and motion requires time. Good luck!
