Jkman , Visualize them . Look at the shape(s) on a diagram . Really visualize them . Visualize them until you really know it . Then go to the fretboard . Keep seeing the shapes as you play . It's hand , eye and memory coordination . It works .

@donald-parker 4 ай бұрын

This is actually a lot more like the way I learned (many years ago - before internet and youtube - all learning was ears and records). I quickly picked out the notes of the pentatonic scale (I had no idea it was called that until years later - I just thought of it as "the good notes") but I also somehow got the idea that the "goal" was to always play notes 2 frets apart, which forces you to cover at least 3 of the "boxes" at a time. I never learned the "boxes" until many years later, but I rarely think of them. My early self taught approach gave more of a "whole neck" way of thinking.

@ianedmonds9191 8 жыл бұрын

Totally awesome. Started doing this by accident. Feeling out the notes above the shape I knew. Works a treat. You come to the realisation that the same shapes largely persist anywhere. The G string throws a persistent curve ball but it's always the same amount of curve! Learn the shapes and the whole fretboard is yours. Luv and Peace.

@jkman10 7 жыл бұрын

How did you learn the shapes? Is it pure memorization and muscle memory? Learning the shapes for every scale seems intimidating and too much.

@theburningffkawaii 7 жыл бұрын

jkman10 the best way I can put it is, think of the fretboard as a graph, like the same way you do scales, you can apply it to chords, kinda like in geometry when you connect the points and it makes a shape and the more you learn where the points start at, the more easy memorizing those shapes are and also finding the similarities and concepts makes it easy too~ Formulas am I right Haha

@DrJoshGuitar 5 жыл бұрын

jkman10 Start with 2 shapes. I like to start learning any new scale with 1) the root note on the E string and 2) root note on the A string. Once you have those practiced and totally memorized you can just figure out a connection between those two positions and you’ll be pretty much all over the neck at that point.

For people that don't know, Guthrie is first and foremost a teacher. Years ago in the mid 90s i would buy ' Guitar Techniques' magazine in the U.K that came with a cd and every month a young looking Guthrie would appear in the photo of contents, he would transcribe things like Steve Vai ' Eugene's trick bag' or Al di meola tunes. Even then his playing stood out as special. His trademark humour used to make me smile in the CD audio lol

@GuitarLessonsSanDiego 6 жыл бұрын

It's just a soft band which is just lessening the string vibrations so you don't hear extra string noise... When you're playing on a single string, it won't be affected at all because you have a finger playing that string. The band just mutes all the string he's not playing. It's kinda like palm muting, but on the other side of the guitar. However, palm muting DOES affect every single note you're playing BECAUSE it's on the other side. lol

@lanechange2795 5 жыл бұрын

"Hello Cleveland!" Spinal Tap reference. Lol. What I just learned is that I suck compared to Guthrie Govan. I tend to follow CAGED theory, so that A minor 5th position pentatonic scale is known as the G form pentatonic, the A form is 2nd position and overlaps with the G form (which is the most popular because you start at the root and the 1st finger never leaves the 5th fret : 5th position.) The E form (The Dickey Betts form) is to the right of the G form and is in 7th position which overlaps the G form. I always try to choose a different pentatonic form for every phrase I play to keep me utilizing the entire fretboard. You can get away with soloing in just the G form but it gets boring quickly. When you learn all 5 forms, you'll find you can play linearly (across the fretboard) much easier.

Sav11 different shape for the same scale. He is playing the A pentatonic and connecting the different positions of that scale. First position starts at the root (5th fret E string) 2nd position starts at the 2nd note of the scale which is the C note on the 8th fret of the low E string.

Eduardus Pandik yep, before the “fret wrap” came out. It helps to mute the strings if you’re doing crazy “hammer ons from nowhere” type stuff, and whatever else. Apparently Greg Howe saw Jason Becker do it many moons ago.
