The 6 string bass changed that high B to C and lined up the root fifths and all the angles for octaves. But for chording on a guitar it is beyond awkward. Ergo, B string.

This is a superb lesson. Happy Birthday Duane! This is similar to my method. I use the three 5-R-3 triads E, A, D to locate the root notes on strings 4, 3, 2 since I know them so well and where they are located for all 12 keys. Major pentatonic D shaped plays left of D triad and alternate C shape to the right. Similar for the other triads. Minor shifts to the right. D Minor plays to the right of D triad. Simple system. You quickly know your primary root note string (containing both minor and major root notes, 3 fret grip) too because you are starting your line from it not the alternate root notes and it's this string# that determines the shape. Shifting modes (minor major) is easy too. Many don’t know this but the circle of 4ths arrangement of caged shapes is more useful. G C E A D, primary root strings respectively are #s 6 5 4 3 2. Locating G and C shapes are easy since we all have (root) notes on string 6 and 5 memorized. Happy New Year.

Ian, from 1985 until 2010, the only scales I knew were the extended pentatonic scales (both minor and major). My uncle showed them to me -- I didn't know that's what they were, and I don't think he knew either. I just knew I could fumble around until I found some notes that worked, and then I'd go from there. But once I found the scale, I would be locked into those exact 15 notes for whichever scale I happened to find. Around 2010, I learned Pentatonic Form 1, but I studiously avoided the other forms. I finally started learning the rest of the forms in the last 6 months, but each form was isolated unto itself. I couldn't link any of them together. The Neverlost method was important for me, but I couldn't see it for what it was. It became just another pattern, albeit a longer one. I made such a huge mental breakthrough today that I can't even explain it. Your Form 3, "central hub" concept (9:40) showed me how to link my extended scales to each other as well as to the different forms. Suddenly, my 15 notes have become 60, not to be followed in order, but to be explored. You, sir, are Guitar Gandalf!

Another way to help understand the fretboard. Very helpful seeing the root on the B string. Excellent lesson thankyou.

@KevinIlsen 4 жыл бұрын

This is a great video. For me, it supplied a piece of the puzzle that I was missing. Because if I need to do major pentatonic improv rooted on the B string, I immediately (and ONLY) think: pinky on the root. On the B string that would mean form 3 major pentatonic and D shaped chord. It wouldn’t occur to me to do form 4 (and C shaped chord) because my mind automatically thinks “major pentatonic = pinky”). I need to remind myself that every root note is part of TWO patterns (and two CAGED chords): one towards the bridge, and one towards the nut. And this is true, of course, on every string. 5 different strings => 5 different CAGED chords and 5 different shapes for each scale (though I prefer to think of each scale as having ONE shape that wraps around the fretboard from the high E back to the low E). Anyway, good stuff and I’m looking forward to watching the bonus material on Patreon.

Thanks Ian. I'm an intermediate/advanced player. This makes a lot of sense for playing and soloing. But I also realise that Donovan uses these B string based forms in a lot of his psychedelic folk tunes. I think he probably discovered some super trippy chords by playing the open strings around them.

i prefer 7s. im not good i just prefer 7's. the great thing is because music is always written for 6's you can use that 7th as an "addon" string whatever you tune it in and just replace or add the note from the string its tuned to. Great way to make the song deep or crunchy where you want

Yo hbd Duane (Dwayne?) thanks for the tip. And to you, Stitch, thank you so much for the best guitar lessons on KZfaq. I started off for years like everyone just learning riffs and solos from the classic guitar songs everyone knows and loves from the tons of lessons on KZfaq, but it wasn’t until I found this channel that my playing seriously started advancing. I am now comfortable playing anywhere on the neck and have no problem playing over chord changes thanks to you (and Jerry Garcia lol), so thanks for bringing that to my attention and unlocking the neck of the guitar for me. Seriously, the best guitar lessons on this whole website.

This is 5 star stuff. I've needed to have this pointed out to me for years. And its fun, because if you've been playing for any length of time, once you internalize the idea of navigating to the root on the b string, you'll surprise yourself with the things you already know "in the neighborhood". As soon as he started explaining it, before he even demonstrated anything, I was like, "Jerry Garcia. This is how Jerry started EVERY solo."

@bobparsonsartist564 4 жыл бұрын

Im stopping your vid to say this. I realized how much i keyed off the B string when asked to play bass once - i was lost without it. I learned guitar from a western swing master who taught me chords via triads - 3 string chords. The B string is literally and figuratively central to that method. I look forward to your vid!
