Jules, Been stuck in a rut for decades; and couldn't move on until you revealed some theory, that would never have crossed my mind, Thank You so much, nice work.

Heck yeah! Beginner to bluesman like Clapton! Those blue notes and fret changes offer color and a professional lead lines. Combine with timing and an “ear” for the right key, and Jules has opened real player opportunities!!

Excellent lesson. Simple. Direct. Potent. Actionable. Griff Hamlin put out an excellent 4 note blues solo video some years ago. You are adding much more context to that. Stich puts out lots of videos about pentatonic boxes and techniques in down to earth ways on his channel. Your touch and insights deeply enriches that conversation. Congrats Jules. Great job.

Well, I've struggled for years and never really got anywhere (Home Hobby Player) Managed to put a tune together with a pink floyd backing track but nothing else but you describe every note/scale clearly so I will persevere with your teaching, Thanks so much and keep up the good work! subscribed with 2 minutes of watching you.

Hang in there. I've been playing 40 plus years and I still feel like that at times. A teacher I had many years ago once said: "Don't be afraid to experiment and explore the improbable. It's the things you discover on your own that really stick with you and define you as a player"

What a running pentatonic scale across the frets and strings. Made so easy .

@PaulCrostaHomes 6 ай бұрын

Great video...To clarify, this is only for the Em or relative G major key. Assuming in this video the root note is E, then I guess we move the "box' up or down the neck so the root is on whatever key we are in...? Thanks guys.

Great for beginners, to get creative with just four notes. Did that too few months after starting guitar. 4 notes in different order and length and played with all possible fingering techniques: slide in/out, half, whole, one-and-half step bends, prebends, micro bends, hammer ons/pull offs… and so on. Then later maybe adding some other two notes which lay near by. Then playing the same lick emulating different genres and styles: jazzy, blues, rock, dreamy. I call it “milking a sequence”

Thank you, Jules. Your channel is the only one I've seen that has the tabs shown exactly how we see you playing the notes. I've asked on multiple channels why the tabs are upside down, and have been told "that's the way it's done". I feel that is a poor response, especially for someone learning guitar that wants to play what they are watching and not have to flip the frets around in their head to do it.

@JohnFiocchi 5 ай бұрын

Great informative lesson! When improvising on a Jazz Rock piece or taking a short solo in a R&B song ...typically it involves positions . They are fingerings which you memorize and apply during improvisation and you connect them by using chromaticism or Pentatonic passages. If a tune is mainly in A7 you simply alter the fingerings to sound fitting...also do it with a chord progression that revolves around a Major7th...and then there are minor keys.....or harmonic minors stylistically based more on traditional desert music of the Middle East with a Jazz blend. You alter the fingerings in all 12 keys and you attempt different styles of music. Egyptian or traditional Japanese melodies of the 14th century. This takes years of practice . Hours of devotion . It does come natural overtime. 😊

I would prefer the graphic of the neck on screen to go from low E to High from the bottom of the screen, and left to right- as it would be looking down at the guitar when I'm playing it. Otherwise, this was very concise and well explained, and I've been playing 30 years. Always looking for inspiration and new tricks. Nice video mate 🤘👌👍

As always; your lessons are absolutely world class and has helped me to progress as a player. No one comes near you. ⭐️🙏 However, and I’ve said this before, your “tabs” are a real mindf**k. I’m tired of turning my TV upside down to figure out what you’re doing. Why do you stubbornly continue with these reversed and flipped illustrations? I’m sure that everyone would appreciate seeing it the normal way. 🙂🙏

@niallpadden 9 ай бұрын

.. er ... not us Lefty's! After innumerable years of struggling and attempting to read them and feeling 'left' out (pun intended), it's refreshing for us. Attempting to buy a Left-Handed Guitar is almost as difficult. If you find one, you're lucky. You definitely don't get a choice to compare one model with another.

@mtelje 9 ай бұрын

⁠@@niallpaddenI fully understand that this makes it much easier for you ”lefty’s”. 😄 But then you also understand how frustrating it is.

@marcd1981 9 ай бұрын

Don't agree with you at all about the tabs. I've been asking for months on several channels why everyone has their tabs upside down. Why aren't they shown exactly how you see them when watching a lesson like this? And everyone's answer has always been, "That's the way it's done". A poor answer for someone learning guitar and wanting to play just as they are watching on the video. This method has made it much easier to learn with.

@mtelje 9 ай бұрын

⁠@@marcd1981I just don’t understand how you see it that way? When I play, as a right hand player, my first fret is to the left and my last fret is to the right and the low E-string is at the top. Justin’s illustrations are the opposite and upside down. His first fret is to the right and his low E-string is at the bottom. I swear I’ve never seen this anywhere but here. :/ I literally have to flip my phone upside down for this to make sense.

@marcd1981 9 ай бұрын

@@mtelje I think it is how I hold and play the guitar that makes it easier for me with Jules's method. I'm not looking straight down at the neck / frets, and I picture the strings in my head just as you see someone play their guitar. It just translates better for me, as I don't see the fret board how most people obviously do.

I like your term 'box'. Similar to your 3 fret box, I use a 4 fret box which (in the act of noodling) I discover is the about same 4 notes used in a less convenient position. But it is a useful exercise for the pinky finger in the overall quest to finding an out of tune string. Still, there's risk of hitting a bum note - a note that doesn't resolve up or down. The note that makes people think, 'he doesn't know what he's doing'. more fun than video games.

@MMMfollower123 9 ай бұрын

Great Lesson, I just found your channel. One Note, could you flip your guitar neck the other way, I think most of guitarist are right handed and looking it flipped, will be like us looking at our own Neck. Thanks Jules.
