Dude. Been playing for OVER 20 years.....This is shit I should have learned in myt first week.....But when you start, this stuff felt impossible, i haven't forgotten that. It's so overwhelming when you start. But I had I had someone explain this to me, as quickly, easily, and well as you did, who knows man...I may have actually made it lol Jokes aside, i would be way better if I had learned this from the get go. This just opened up an entire new world man. Thanks for this. I am going to be sharing this video with everyone that needs it for years to come. I will probably even DL it and back it up on a flash drive to be honest. its a perfect lesson. Lessons like this used to cost coin, thank you sir. If yuou can't tell, I am pretty flipppppin excited because this video gave me a break through and im only 5 minutes in

How to locate triads if we look at the chord progressions? For example we wanna play 2-5-1 on D major, how to know where is the 5th triad is from the 2nd, I want to reference it to the nearest position. What I've been doing so far is to locate it each by the chord root, so every chord is like different caged shape, let's say the 5th chord (A major) I have to find the A note first and make up the triad. I have this idea to just memorize the interval for that specific scale, like first chord triad is 1 3 5, 2nd is 2 4 6. Is that the way to learn it or are there any short way? Thank you

I haven’t made a KZbin video on this topic yet, but it’s part of the Improv 101 course that I’m developing. The short version of what I recommend is to learn where the various chords overlay on the pentatonic rectangle and stack. This ends up being easy to memorize and apply across the fretboard. I have a PDF “how to improvise over “Little Wing” lesson on Patreon that contains the basics of this as well”. It’s straightforward to apply this to a 2-5-1 as well, and I’m adding that to my list of future lessons to make.

I watched your pentatonic video while I going to sleep & I literally got up next morning & I can play ANY pentatonic. Mind blown. Im a bad physics/cs nerd too so maybe you are just talking my language. But it works. I have never picked anything up instantly. You rock man !!!!

@fretscience 13 күн бұрын

According to Wikipedia, a semitone, also called a minor second or half step, is the smallest musical interval commonly used in Western tonal music. It’s also known as a one-fret distance on the fretboard. I hope that helps

The orientation I use here is the academic “standard” and seems to work for the most people. Sorry to hear it doesn’t work for you. The good news is that with this method, you don’t need fretboard diagrams for long and there aren’t that many of them. If you need them, you can always make a copy in your preferred orientation.

I usually recommend learning some chords and learning to play some songs from TAB before diving into developing a deeper understanding of the fretboard, but when you get to the stage where you want to really understand how the fretboard works, I like to think this channel is a great to do that. 🎸🧪🤘
