I’m a old gray bald fella that took up guitar around 6 years ago, self taught and I’m learning so much, from your lessons. Thanks Ricky 🎸🤟

I have been going from one KZfaq lessons to another for 2 years it’s like trying to drink all the water coming over Niagara Falls Lately I have stuck to only your lessons and have learned more in 2 weeks than 2 years Thanks Ricky

Rick, you are the man!! I've been playing over 40 years and only recently come across your videos. What a difference

You have a great way of connecting ideas together. I've gained a better understanding of the fretboard from your videos over the last month than I've learned in 40 years of noodling.

Thanks Ricky. I've been playing for 60 years and always enjoy studying with a great teacher. THIS IS GOLD.❤

I can honestly say that after 6 to 7 years of self teaching, this is a turning point video for me!

I'm an older gray haired dude and I used to play when I was young but I had to give it up when tendonitis stopped me. I would say that I reached a descent level of play but never knew anything at all about all of this stuff. You changed that, because I was stalling out on my progress anyway. I love the you explain stuff because it's confusing at first but you make it all clear by the end. Thank you for all that knowledge.

Older gray haired dude here, playing just over two years, gotta say well done! Learning SO much watching your videos! Keep it up, many, many thanks!

Rick is the best and gives away everything..he should have 2 millon subs and an other likes. Keep going Rick and be safe dude

Ricky, I've just stumbled across your channel for the 1st time. Your explanations & perspectives are eye opening! Thank you for sharing these lessons ❤👍🏽👍🏻🎯.

After each lesson, I keep thinking that is the best one yet. But I think this is the best one yet. Really great. Thank you.

Whatever reward you receive for sharing is well-earned. I've been playing finger-picking acoustic for fifty years for my own enjoyment. You just showed me some things that will be fun to add to my own playing. Everyone learns differently. And everyone learns different things. That's the beauty of it. Ricky, you almost doubtlessly couldn't play anything I play, but you've taught me some rules that will improve my own playing. Kudos.

I must admit that I am self taught having gleaned what I can from wherever. Even after years of playing Ricks approach and method has helped me develop and gain a better understanding of the applications of various theoretical concepts. This in turn has helped my playing improve ,diversify and rekindled my passion for the guitar in all forums. Thankyou very much indeed.

I been out of work due to car wreck ..laid up...i have been learning guitar for 13months putting in around 5 hours a day...i starting watching u 2 weeks ago and learn more in two weeks then the year before ...u have a gift and i think u for giving some away ...when am able i will pay u back ..till then thank u so much and dont stop please of all the teachers on internet their are only a few good ones

I like your dedication, I particularly enjoyed your Cycke of thirds, that blew me away, as a guitar teacher myself I had never heard of that, but I am certainly using it now...thankyou for that.

MIchael in Denver 🙂 Your methods are very helpful for serious players. I've played about nine years now and now want to play more different styles like afro pop , funk , metal and even blues.

Yes, I like the idea of string pairs utilizing the highs and lows if the neck. Makes playing more versatile.

RC, i’m a beginner and a slow learner & not super serious, but for a handful of years i click on various gtar youtube lessons and listen for a bit to see if i get what they’re teaching & how they’re teaching . Seen a-lot of different teachers & the light never came on. Then i came across you. Was surprised that i had never seen you bc i surfed you gtar lessons Alot . But Wow, what a difference in your approach. You a Soooo much more of a teacher than anyone ive seen !! You are really something special and we’re so lucky that you are a thinker and care to deliver. I can’t thank you enuff. I love your style & gracious humble persona . Your just fantastic . Sincerely , thank you!

Highly illuminating way to visualize the fret board, and a ton of fun to work with..your lessons bring musical joy..many thanks again..

Fantastic to see you back Rick 👍

Love your teaching style Ricky, keep up the good work.

Teaching myself at 45 and your lessons are helping me out a lot man. Thanks from a hillbilly!!

These lessons never cease to amaze me. I understand how it's all connected, but hearing it in action still gives me goosebumps. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience!

My name is Dave and I’m a lessons collector. If it says ‘pentatonic’ on it, I buy it, download it, join, photocopy. I have more than enough lessons and licks around to last several lifetimes. I can’t help myself Ricky

I’m an old grey haired dude, with guitar playing on my bucket list. I'm getting there and largely thanks to you and your nuggets of info. Gotta go, I’m off to practice my string pairs!

That was absolutely stupendous. Brilliant lesson. Thank you so much.

Part-2: It's interesting how content from an instructor/mentor speaking in a UK accent makes the content seem more authentic!! Because of the unique linguistic "personalities" (for lack of a better word), it would be fun to see your content in Scottish, Irish, Cockney, and AU/NZ. (with subtitles of course!)

I have to really thankyou for all of this, I practiced it through while I watched each step. I find though I have to write notes on the PDF's for reference later. These are expanding my mind.

Excellent lesson! This info is immediately useful. Thanks for posting it!

Another great lesson, your explanations of the relevance and application of theoretical knowledge and concepts are enlightening and highly educational. You are one of the best teachers Ive found online. A massive thankyou for your enthusiasm in sharing your understanding and helping people develop their own passion. Bravo!!!

Ricky, your teaching is amazing. You're parting with knowledge that other teachers want to keep secret... when it comes to sharing your knowledge, you're the Bruce Lee of guitar

String pairs?!?! Mind officially blown - so easy to memorize the entire fretboard! Wow!!!

Where is the rest of the video???? I was so interigued in this. I definitely understand the pentatonic all the way up and down the fretboard in any key and all of its subsequent postions. I just didt really think of the strings as pairs with such significant relationships. This is absolutely 🔥!

Very innovative and right where I am in my development was a perfect boost. Thank you

I don't know why more guitar teachers don't break down CAGED into that Octave system like you do, it makes it much easier to navigate in my opinion.

Thanks Ricky, Another great lessons!

Awesome lesson! Thank u so much! Shiny gold nuggets in here! Ill use this from here on out!

Fantastic lesson great teacher,Love your lesson big fan of yours

Very nice lessons Ricky, as always! Thank you!

String pairs PDF in description

3 videos and im sold on the book. This is gold!

Absolute gold. I really love what you’re doing. The closest I’ve seen to this is “The Stitch Method” but I think this lesson is more robust.

Part-2: Having said that i REALLY enjoy your content as much as JL, RS, and RB (first initials only because i don't want to redirect any viewers) My preference is for information that gives you the tools to create rather than emulate. My brain isn't wired for playing other artists music. As much as i would love to players some of my favorite songs, it isn't an option for me. However, i can remember and play songs i have written. Your content gives me the tools to FEEL music instead of MEMORIZING it. :)

13:20 wow thanks so much for showing this repeat pattern, it has helped a newb like me to appreciate how this is all connected!

Excellent explanation. Thanks a lot, Rick!

I've just bought your book. I love your teaching style. Oh, those were some tasty licks you were playing, you rocker you. 😊

You might want to have someone look into that buzzing when your hands are not on the strings it usually a ground problem you can check the ground wire on the spring claw you can put a second ground from ground on the pots to a screw inside cavity. If not could ground issues in building and thank for the excellent teaching

Incredible Ricky!!! Outstanding ideas!!!!! Thx good sir!!

Genius I wanna go and track guitar right now. Cheers

Spirit in the sky It's where I want to go when I die... Perfect old guy tune.

Hey so i have been playing for like 20 years. Or at least i Thought I have and I probably could have made more progress than i have in that time. I mean i fairly proficient, but my sound is missing something and i have been dighing and digging for some lessons that fill in the gaps of the things ive missed out. I am now fluent in sheet music thanks to some of your videos. KEEP DOING THESE VIDEOS! They are great and very comprehensive! All of the knowledge, no nonsense. Thank you to to stars!

Thank you for your teaching

Hi Ricky I have sent you a contribution for a large beer! Really like your teaching very much !

Should be a First Lesson for opening guitar note / timbre(color) perspectives DAY ONE! Just Fantastic!

Glad to see your back. Good lesson, thanx.

EYUp! I'm tring to finfd and copy the PDF you talk about. I'm watching this on 02/06/2022. Watched another of your goodies today 9:00 AM Pacific time . Looking forward to your book you spoke of 5:00 PM your time. Ricky, no BS, you've got the gift sir. I haven't been this excited about guitar since I bought my Beatles wig in the 60's and gave my Elvis record to my Neice. Hoping your book sells through Amazon. If not, I'll buy it antway. PS I'm 70 and hope to learn as much as possible in the shortest amount of time.PEACE!

Well, yes, most of all my skills and understandings I learned from your different look on the fretboard. in this and your other videos. Thanks for that!

Wow. So I see these triangles with the A minor Pentatonic (C major pentatonic) …The D minor pentatonic (F major pentatonic) is a different pattern BUT The SAME 3 triangles. Thank You! You have helped me in previous videos as well

I just saw this video! Excellent!! Thanks man!

Bought the book, first digital and then a printed version.💎

Always learning with Ricky! How lucky are we?

Awesome lesson thanks

Thanks for the lesson. There is good stuff buried down in it.

Excellent teaching style. I bought the book and am currently walking through it. I see someone also asked this question about 6 months ago but didn't get an answer... The video abuptly ends at 24:09 with " Show you where the ". Is there another copy of the video that isn't cut off that we can use to finish the lesson? Thanks again for your work.

Pure Gold Ricky! More Please

Great lesson as usual Rickster .... you've been conspicuous by your absence, hope you are feeling better buddy!!

Great video! Thanks a lot 🤘🏻

My new go to guitar guy..

👀, from Quo to the Edge Great lesson Ricky, going to be mulling on that one .....thanks for that. "All sizzle no steak" 🤣😂🤣🤣👊

Thanks brother. It's like I busted through the black hole of music.

Gold dust ...cheers bud..

Solid gold stuff fella. Only just found you recently but love the approach.

This reminds me of Beethoven's Eroica You flow, you give to drink, mysterious nurse And yet my soul is withered in despair.

Hi sir great and useful tip🙏👌

Wonderful value!

Very good.thanks

A gem! Thank you

Great lesson. Thanks

Please, Ricky, how do you play the power chord ? I can't figure it out .

Hey Ricky I was wondering if you could explain the meaning behind the seventh note. for instance a GbMajor7th how do you get to the seventh that is if I'm asking the right question.

Super usefull !

Great lesson. The video ended yet it sounded like you weren’t done.

My 🎸 hero is Jeff Beck. I wish I could do what he does with a 🎸🎶🎵👍

Excellent video

Bought your book. Enjoying your lessons. Can these ideas be extended to 7 strings? PS have both 6 and 7 strings guitars.

Brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

great video, thanks

I often think about the person who decided on how the fret board had to be laid out; he is the smartest of all of us, because he didn't have any books of instruction to go by, like us today, he had to figure it all out and wrote it for everyone who came after to learn from.

14:25

Is this lesson 11 from your book?

Tried to watch Dec 1 2023 & there is no voice, but the guitar sound seems fine. Help pls

Old grey haired dude? didn't realise my laptop camera was switched on!

If the guitar has 4 voices why do we have 5 pentatonic voices, are two of them the same voice ?

cool

...cause you know that when I die..

Brill

Killer

Lets add side beards to this hair style, dye it black and we have ..........kkkkk!!!!

I can’t hear you.
