this is literally the best explanation i have ever seen! i have been playing since 16. i am 46 now and just trying to make my way through note identification on the guitar and understand better. i have never been taught this way and i get it now from all of your guidance on your channel. thank you so much brother. i really appreciate you and your work

Viewing the fretboard from a scientific perspective is a great angle and rather unique, as with the helpful graphics. Great video as always. The intervals with the chord types and their differences, places everything neatly into boxes for the brain to connect. The 3rd being always one up and one across from the 1 (R) (except for the G & B string crossover) was a lightbulb. I know this wasn't meant to be a caged lesson but could there be, as the cheat sheet had blank spaces for the various shapes. It would be a complete resource for CAGED with all the 5 shapes referenced with major, major 7, minor, minor 7, dominant 7, sus 2 and sus 4 chord types.

If you want to learn guitar music theory in, honestly, a day or two then Fret Science is the only way to go. I never tell people to buy anything but the $30 I spent for the cheat sheets is the best money I ever spent. As many others have said, this should be the standard method for teaching the fretboard. Two days ago I knew the basic chords and a few scales in a few different positions. Today I can use a root note to instantly play the pentatonic up and down the fretboard, I can add 2 notes to the pentatonic to make 6 of the 7 major scales, and I can build triads and build the corresponding chord at any position. I learned all of that yesterday and I’m just getting started.

If you come away from this video understanding how shapes change when they cross the “warp”, you’re in good shape for my other videos. My video on the pentatonic scale is a good next step and it will save you a lot of time over mastering 5 positions independently. For what it’s worth, this channel was originally aimed at intermediate players with a basic theory background, and I’m gradually making it more accessible to beginners.

I'm electrical engineer that decided to learn guitar in my 50's. Your approach completely resonates with me. And being a visual learner, the animated diagrams are outstanding. While I completely get the content of your lessons, I'm at the point of how to most efficiently ingrain that knowledge to make use of it "on the fly". I'm "here" at this point -understanding. How do I get to "there" - playing? I'm sure the answer is "practice" but the question is practice what and exactly how. How about a video suggesting specific practice methods to do so? To clarify, I'm just at your first two videos ingraining the 2 box shapes for major and minor. Thanks and fantastic job!

I made the exact same mistake. I had started playing when I was 15 ( I'm now 62) I played for a good 25years and got pretty good. But I always ran into that wall because I had never learned the notes. A lot of it was there was no such thing as the internet and I could never afford lessons. Life as it does over took me and I out down the guitar for many years. I had to focus more on raising my family and for the longest time never got back to it.I was finally able to pick it back about 15 years or so and I started from scratch. The first thing I did was to learn the note names and I couldn't believe how much my playing took off. It was so much easier learning theory after I took those first steps of learning the neck. My playing took off like lightning. Now I can play pretty much any thing I want to with proficiency. I play everything now from classical to absolute shredding. The one piece of advice I can offer is the most important thing whether you are from a beginner to advanced is learn the notes of the feet board. You would be amazed how fast you will improve and be able to finally play anything you want. JUST DO IT!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Great video! I had to figure this all out by myself years ago as this kind of content has only just started being pushed by the algorithm on KZbin. I'd like to add that one thing that helped me a lot was memorising the shapes of ascending and descending intervals of each note starting from the root to any string. This basically meant I never had to memorise any scale shape ever again and if I know the names of all the notes on every fret, I can basically start a stack from anywhere by remembering the intervals that made up a scale.

The problem with CAGED is major triads are matched with minor pentatonic scale patterns. Make the chord shapes Dominant 7 (1-3-5-b7) and slide the b3 up to 3 (1-b3/3-4-5-b7).

Hmmm, instead of that, I recommend reframing: there are no wrong notes, and the master skill is to make any note sound right by resolving it artfully. That would be a great video 🤔

@fretscience 6 күн бұрын

In all seriousness, the best way to avoid bad notes is to slow down while you’re really getting the scale shapes under your fingers. If you play too fast, you’ll hit “bad” notes and you’ll never develop the muscle memory to stay inside the scale.

@@fretscience I just watched BobbyHarrisonGuitar video. He paint the notes with 3 colors. (You do too but mostly in BW, except the key note in Red). I can memorize Bobby's notes quite well.

Hey man your channel is such a heaven sent, I'm one of your subscribers and each video is majestic, the way how you illustrate the fretboard. Your channel thought me that the idea of memorizing the notes on the fretboard is to locate on what key you'll want to play and also o where the thirds, the fifths, the octave, etc location prior to your key that you pick in anywhere on the fretboard, it would also be nice if you'd made a video on how different guitar tuning works such as dadgad, drop d, math rock and etc on how scales and chords sits on a specific tunings, thanks man for giving this kind of lessons for free.(Sorry for my bad english) God bless.
