Been picking since 1955 and yes, I knew of this but a big thanks to your lesson for helping with the subtle movement. Perfect tool for early pickers to understand and learn the notes. A great exercise and warm up.

This is one of the best and the most exciting lessons I have ever learned. It took me 5mins to understand the whole fretboard bcoz he explained the theory behind it. After the first three strings up to fret five, I completed the whole fretboard by myself and got it right. I can now even easily teach someone else. Before this lesson, I had tried so many lessons in my quest to understand the fretboard but all they taught was how to memorise the fretboard. It was so difficult for me I just gave up memorising and I didn’t want to learn anymore. I lost interest and gave up. I actually clicked on this one by mistake but decided to watch it but little did I know it was going to open my mind. Thank you very much Jamsville and I will be forever grateful 😃👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😃😃

I’m super happy to hear that you actually completed it yourself! I always think it’s much better to learn any concept on the guitar by working it out yourself rather than relying on using a written out diagram and keep having to look at it over and over. At the end of the day you need to have things memorized to be able to actually use them. And yes, for me learning this concept was a big game changer so I really wanted to share it with people. So glad that it helped you out and I really appreciate you watching and leaving a nice comment 🙂

As a guitarist of 50 years, I appreciate all the efforts that went into putting the video together. If I may offer a suggestion, the verbal instructions you provide come at a constant and almost frenetic pace almost as one long sentence. There is no time for a listener to absorb any one aspect to memory. An Additional pause here and there would make a huge difference and would make this video tiptop. Cheers!
@Jamsville 9 ай бұрын
Thanks for the constructive feedback, Bob. It's often difficult to strike a balance in pacing. As you can see the video was already quite long (for me it doesn't seem long when I'm filming them!) but I will keep your suggestion in mind and try my best. Thanks!

Hi , I have been searching a lot of videos saying they were the best way to learn guitar but this little slice of scales is brilliant ! It also makes it very easy to understand how the scale repeats, where it repeats and is balanced with 4 notes on each string, working up or down the neck. I like to play this and say the notes to help me remember them. Thank you again and will watch your other videos now!

@@sheephills510 Well buddy I am a natural picker, play about 5 to 6 hours a day ( 12 hours if I have the time to spare), play floyd note for note no problem but never bothered to read music or learn scales so I thought I would give the "Schooled " system a spin, but mostly for the fun of it, just to see if I missed anything, kind of fun but still prefer letting the fingers do the talking, so ya I probably play circles around you, or are you a scale shredding master?

if you start your c major scale on E, that is phyrgian mode, or the spanish gypsy scale.

And if you’re improvising a solo with the scale, you don’t have to start on E. The most important part of the sound of a mode is the chord you’re playing over

100% agree. That’s my philosophy. The more ways you have of looking at the same thing, the better (especially with music/guitar!) Also, music theory is evidently a very polarizing topic 😂… in any case, it’s almost always a good thing if people are getting a little stirred up in the comments section 😉 Thanks for checking the video out!

If you keep your hands relaxed you can slide up and down according to picking up and down with no thought it just becomes natural over time practice practice practice. Start slow and commit movements to memory and build speed from there.

@Jamsville hand synchronization is huge no matter what level of playing a person is at also. The left hand and right hand need to be always at the same level of talking so to speak. Metronome is my best friend. Start at 50 bpm and work up to 300bpm is great practice

@markwilkin9117 10 ай бұрын
Please tell me if there's a reason this is a bad idea. If you start on F, instead of the open E, then play 4 notes per string, ending on A on the high E string, then more string sets start and end on a fret with an inlay. I find it much easier to navigate.
@Jamsville 10 ай бұрын
No, that’s a GREAT idea! Try one starting from G also, and A…. keep going until you make a pattern that runs out of space at the top haha. Experimenting with this concept like you said is how you learn it the best. also, make sure to do it in all other keys 🙂

@knattydej 10 ай бұрын
playing these notes from E to E is the phrygian mode, it doesnt matter that you borrowed the notes from the C ionian scale because that’s literally how the phrygian mode is created
@Jamsville 10 ай бұрын
Modes are a SOUND, which involves you playing over the corresponding chord with that mode. I'm going to have to make a video about this because it's a common misconception. E Phrygian would only be if I was playing a C major scale over an E minor chord.
@knattydej 10 ай бұрын
Modes are actually a PATTERN Phrygian pattern is as follows: half step > whole step > whole step > whole step > half step > whole step > whole step E phrygian is as follows: E F A B C D E hope that helps!

It’s from the perspective that you would be looking at it on your own guitar, not from the perspective you’re seeing me play in the video. That’s the default way to make horizontal diagrams in the program NeckDiagrams, and I think it makes sense when you’re practicing. It’s also the way things are oriented when reading guitar tabs.

Yeah but dont slide move and make 'em clean. Slides are good but ease off and move your finger. May have a little finger scraping sound but it will not be a slide. Yes fingers moving on strings cause a scrape but slides are a totally different sound. And scrapes are a natural sound even in recorded songs. So dont slide unless it is intentional.

Why bother, we have A To G with sharpes and flats anywhere on the next. There are some tonal changes but if you want to more fluid stay in the fret space you feel more comfortable. I used to play up and down the neck when I was a teenager, in fact in the 70's we all did this . Lister to Matteo Mancuso he not really allover the neck for solos and in my opinion you get much better than.
@Jamsville 10 ай бұрын
Interesting. Pat Metheny said the opposite thing. He said he could tell just by looking at someone play whether or not they were good, because if someone was staying in the same place on the fretboard that meant they hadn’t studied it well enough.
