Train stops!!!! Never thought of it that way....amazing simplification! Thank you so much for that.

Tim Pierce @4:10 "Am I doing it?"😂😂😂 Tim Pierce is bad ass lol. Makes it look so easy. I'm gonna be watching this video for three months before I can ask that question 😂😂😂😂

The most beautiful part of this video is when Tim asks, "Am I doing it?" This goes to show that even a master player like Tim is still learning and discovering. That in itself is a great lesson for all of us!

Love the train station analogy.

Probably one of your best videos, imo. Really love the language. Nearly anyone can relate.

This is probably the most helpful thing I've found about the pentatonic scale on KZfaq. Thanks so much!

Wow! Another great golden nugget in Tim’s huge video archive. There’s so much that I love in this video.. “Am I doing it?”, the analogy of train stops and exploring the neighborhood etc. Thank you @Tim for all your great work. Picking up the guitar after 25 years of not playing, I kind of felt lost and overwhelmed by all the information out there but your channel has gotten me on track and most of all Inspired!!!

Thank you both for all your well appreciated ability to keep it accessible to an old wannabe picker. You always make me excited bout playing.

Ah, Tim. Man, that was great about the train line, stopping off and exploring the neighborhood. This stuff is finally making some sense. I picked up the guitar when you were on that A blues and I started to sound like I knew what I was doing. Brilliant, simple, effective. Thanks Corey and Tim.

Two of the best teachers I know of, together at last. More please!!

@5:18 brilliance “Pretend I’m on a train going straight down the line and I can stop and explore each station” Tim.. you da man!

2.55 - a light goes on in my head! Already a fan of Corey, now even more so

I always appreciate Tim's teaching.

Absolutely great way to break it down. Great analogy with the train and exploring the neighborhood. So simple but super effective! Great lesson

This lesson is so good that i dont want to share it with any of my friends!

I enjoyed this. I liked the train line and explore the neighbourhood perspective.

Perfect timing for me. I'm just exploring the "train ride" as Tim so aptly called it. Excellent lesson.

I've tended to play the pentatonic scales on two strings up and down the neck for years. I guess I attribute it to my years of playing a 4 string bass in blues bands. I tended to get bored going horizontal. Corey is an excellent teacher, as is Tim. Very informative and intelligent video lesson. Thank you both.

Already a fan of Corey and his courses on TrueFire, which I'm subscribed to, as well as Tim's Masterclass, of course. Great teachers, both of you, thanks

This is the best tip/lesson I’ve seen in years. Thank you!

Tim, you and Corey played off each other's concepts very well in this lesson. I feel like this opened a few doors for me!

Holy Moly! Guitar gold again from Mr. Tim Pierce! thank you for the train station lesson! Ive never looked at it like that. makes sense, as music travels like energy travels. You make me wanna start a new relationship with PRS

Gave up playing guitar a long time ago. Just started playing again lately and wow, this lesson is such an eye openner. Kicking myself why i haven't thought of this before.

This is just what I needed....Simple idea that can make a quick impact. Thanks Corey and Tim!

Corey, that is a ''GREAT'' idea. I am just getting comfortable with the five pentatonic positions and as Tim said, ''that B string is like a train line'', and that makes sense. Thank you.👍

As a bass player, leads are not my thing. In the last few months I have been tossed under the bus several times and fumbled each time. This video answered so many of my questions. Thank you, so much.

This video has cleared up so many things eureka after eureka moments and I've played for 20 years!

He is everything you said he is and more. Both of you guys are killer players.

Corey is the man great teacher seems humble and the dude can rip

Good lesson. I used to play lead for a band that played many real slow melodic songs. I started playing G string only on those songs. It worked out much better than the box patterns and people liked it. It was also much easier to play a simple melody, like the vocal melody, which I would often play on the one string. BTW, I was at the recent Guitar Lesson Conference, Anaheim 2018. It was nice to meet you and your presentation was great!

Be BB King even! I was lucky enough to get to play with him in high school, and was just floored by how he could play over even jazz standards by keeping one position laterally with various bends to maintain a chord progression, but also play vertically to keep it fresh. Hell, I can barely do ANY of it 20 years later, but it provided me a terrific road map to follow. Great video!

Yes that subway analogy articulates it perfectly! Thank you

Corey and Tim in the same lesson; it's gonna be a good day!

I like the "check out the neighbourhood" stuff. A good idea to force yourself to thinking musically instead of letting the fingers walk on known grounds !

So glad to hear Tim mention Paul Kossoff

Great advice. Limit yourself to expand your abilities! Thanks.

One of the best leasons I have seen. Great job!

Excellent video as always!

Really enjoyed that! Great food for thought.

Yeah! So tomorrows gig Im just going with a B string. This is profound stuff, and is not as easy as it looks but it is so rewarding if like me there are a few holes in linking boxes. Genius!

Yes Tim!! I've been teaching the idea of learning scales up a single string forever (in addition to all of the others of course). I've used nearly the exact same analogy "ride the buss, get off and walk around town" haha! This method really helps to visualize the connections between the positions and play more lyrically. I've always seen the neck this way, probably due to my piano background, and my attempts to get the positions to connect as fluidly as my clarinet could.

Great tips! Thank you.

what a great, simple lesson! I'm going to do this today. 😁

Thank you!!!! Thinking outside the box! That helped me a lot!

very good teaching you are both of you great teacher and musicians

Great video guys!

Omg... I love it. Thank you. You've freed my mind!

YES!

Great great info! Great playing and great teachers. thank you!

I always learn something here, and I always have trouble getting to the end of your videos because I start applying the lesson and just take off from there. Thanks for what you do!

Waow fantastic idea thanks sooo much Corey

Excellent, great analogy with a train Tim. I've seen guys play great in just one position though. By mixing major and minor sure. Minor and major pent.

although ive linked some of the pentas in my leads this was a great lesson on linking then all easily - loved the train station analogy. going to use this!

My personal rail line on the guitar features the D and G strings. I move up and down the neck using these two strings. Try to get off at one of the stations and explore the pentatonic box in that neighbourhood. Get lost in that neighbourhood, stop, go back to the main line, find a station and start over! :)

Great stuff Corey and Tim - thank you

What a great Effing idea.....Less is more...new journey for the next 30 days....Thanks Tim for bringing this to the forefront... Funny thing last night at Band...I found myself (due to a middle finger injury) Playing bass on one string.......WTH!!!! Again ... Thanks Tim..

Perfect! "Explore the neighborhood" Love it.

Hope off the train and explore the neighbourhood - dig that Tim!

Light bulb moment! So simple how do we miss these things. Like the train stps idea too Tim. thnx.

Great playing, fantastic way to look at things too.

Wow! Extremely helpful. Thanks for sharing

Great lesson, timing is perfect for me.

Visiting the neighborhood! Heck yeah! Thanks Tim Pierce

Love them both ,no one has ever given a rational explanation why they call One pattern One .

Just an outstanding video and great concept! Just watched the CAGED video and this is a great follow-on video! 😎👍Cheers - Luther

So simply explained and helpful. Anyone can use this to improve. Thanks guys!!

This lesson is GENIUS. My issue is that I get lost as to "where I am" on the fretboard and "what pattern to pick up" and when. Any tips for a fan?

Tim once again you found an another amazing teacher for us besides yourself!! GOOD JOB..dude check out the neighborhood...love it

I love you, man!!

Mind blown! Good job guys!

The Veena and Sitar players do this all the time. Important adaptation for the guitar.

Corey, i missed you!!! Zappa is in you 'et la moustache'!

Excellent! Love this!

Love this tip, Corey and Tim, love your train analogy! This is one of my favorite videos!

Damn that train analogy was cool Tim. Thank you guys! Appreciate this gold.

Great lesson guys. Also, I wanted to say it was great seeing the two of you at GearFest this year. Thanks.

Nice tip! Never thought about it that way.

Great video guys I love the blues even more now just listening to you two play that was incredible.. Thank you very !

So great thank you for sharing.

that neighbourhood thing is so cool. thank you and greetings from germany

What a great tip!

Awesome lesson!

Very, Very Good video for a person i n that range "priceless!" I can almost taste it.

That’s a Mick Goodrick concept. He was Pat Metheny teacher and other great jazz cats...👍🏻 very cool!

I saw something very similar to this in a Dweezil Zappa lesson. Still, this unlocked my playing for sure.

Do some more geust lessons if you could. I love the sit ins

Hm … after watching only half the video i bought two blues courses on truefire from Corey... just fun to play along and learn some licks… didnt even know that truefire.com existed up to now

Great vid as always Tim!

That's the dog's bollox man. I love the concept

I agree...Corey is an excellent teacher...His Truefire courses are packed with good stuff and they are very focused and succinct...Not filled with 'fluff' and tangential stuff like some other lessons can be 🎸

Great lesson! Thanks for sharing, the guitar train, I like it! :)

Great concept!

Great guys ... just real Kiss type of stuff .. Keep it simple 😊

Dig the train analogy!

so good !!!

Hi guys This is great, another useful advice from the pro, Thank you very, very much

This is terrific, thank you Corey!

Cory is fine teacher!......

So good!!! Thanks for this!

Hello Tim, you have probably answered this question hundreds or thousands of times before, but I have to do it anyway: in case you had to stay with only one strings gauge, what would it be and why?; please, consider for this example (if it has any importance) a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar. Thanks, man, you are amazing! Regards (**If someone here knows his answer could you tell me please? thanks!!**)
