MIND ****ING BLOWING!!!

6:45 demonstrates the only 3 things you need to know: the two fret shift rules, the horizontal shape order, and the scale degree starting shapes. Everything else is specifics to help your brain fill any comprehension isuues.

Thanks for the content, not sure if you are aware but the most prominent review on your slide of your Amazon book is a crappy 1 star review. Might be worth editing.

I think learing the modes is easier, LOL!

Typical 3nps patterns from eons ago. Nothing to see here.

I've played guitar for many years. Self taught... By no means proficient in anyway what so ever..or good either I just enjoy playing. I play mostly Hill Country Blues and the kind of Rockabilly Sun records Johnny Cash, Charlie Feathers vibe. But at 2:19 into the video.. I'm already completely lost am have no idea wth dude is talking about. If you told me I was watching a video on repairing computer chips, I wouldn't argue. So can anyone recommend a video I could watch before I watch this one so I'm not lost

Eu reparei nisso estudando uns três métodos de guitarra diferentes. Assim ficou de bandeja! Bem completo e muito bem explicado!

Thank youuuu!!!! I’ve been learning the CAGED system but can see its limitations- so will be switching to this one asap! Wonderfully explained- thank you again!

The 3 NPS patterns go 1-2-3... down the neck, and across the neck its 1-7-6 for Ionian for instance. so going across the neck (crossing strings) Dorian would be 2-1-7, Phrygian 3-2-1, Lydian 4-3-2, Mixo would be 5-4-3 and so on. Use the number system. the numbers coincide with the scale degrees. its easier if you number the patterns 1-7, instead of xxx or xy or xyz.

I am so confused 😟

Great video, the only problem is that D is on the 10th fret of the 6th string, not the 9th

Thank you so much Michael, I asked this question 58 years ago, & you finally answered it for me today. I doubt I'll sleep tonight. Thanks Again !

I found this on my own 30 yrs ago, but since it made me a local guitar hero, I never shared it. It was my Super Power. This IS the key to speed up and down the board. Good luck.

Where has this video been all my life? This is just amazing

All of this is in the "The Nashville Pattern! for Guitar "by Paul Lyman Busdiecker. I found his book too overwhelming to comprehend until I stumbled upon Michael's videos

This is what I've been needing. But I'm going to have to watch it about 10 more times.

Yes, definitely bought you more than a coffee! This is very helpful. The pattern is much easier to memorize if one considers it's just pairs out of walking backwards YY (7) ZZ (6) XX(X) (5) XY (4) YZ (3) ZX (2) and XX (1). Sorry if that's redundant to other videos, haven't watched yet.

Your voice sounds like Jigsaw and it helps because It provides a sense of urgency and importance before the inevitable "Do you want to play a game?" rolls out because you've realized my eyes have glazed over from my inability to grasp everything the first time around.

Can someone do a video for this converting to piano? Would be cool!

Super! Best ever!

Hi Michael thanks for the great content ! Finally found a decent teacher after 30 years of looking! Any idea when the 4NPS vid is coming?

Has anyone done this while playing the guitar for a simpleton like myself ?

This was extremely helpful thank you!!

Exactly what I’ve been looking for. It seems so obvious now but, obviously, I didn’t see it.

Hi good morning! When the paper version will come out?

Wow, this is cool. Although, I've been playing guitar long enough to know scales and build scales in whatever position, it's still always cool to see a totally guitar-centric way of teaching theory. And this approach to teaching 3 note per string major scale patterns is really cool. The type of explanation you wish you would have had starting out as a young guitar player. So well done! and Thanks for this resource!

Thank you so much

Play it root to root. This is a way but for me I’m glad I have these memorized.

cool...got my brain hearing things that weren't there? Like, a bass and horns wanting to fill the space? But, shouldn't...type thing?

Foreboding?

One question: Let's say I want to play in Aeolian mode in A (minor). Do I start the ZZ pattern on the fifth fret (A)? Or do I start on the 6th scale degree on a F# note?

When can we expect the 4 notes per string and the pentatonic video?

Thank you thank you thank you thank you! I am ever so grateful to you for the work you have put into this, and sharing! A 30 year interest completely renewed because you took the time to explain the missing pieces. This will most definitely move me past a chord strummer. Just not enough thank yous'! Do you have a patreon or anything?

Thank you!!! I just got your book.

Thank you! I use this method with pentatonics, so it's nice to see the whole scale breakdown. It opens some doors here. Thanks Michael!

Excellent teaching! It’s takes a while for my practices and application in my guitar playing.👍

This is great! I still find myself missing something. What i mean is , i understand the universality of the diagram...but..when i go to play a different root i.e. i change the start of the scale pattern, it just feels ..idk..too similar as in im almost pulled back to the original root...is there something im missing ..or an explanation of this? Anyone else experienced this? I mean this diagram is great, and it gets me to this point...i just need to know whats the next step to evolve past this. Please help. Thanks. 👍

Possibly the best content on YT I’ve watched them all regarding improv on the fly !!

So what is the 4 note per string deal?

I purchased your book on Amazon and subscribed to your channel. Thanks for making this available to everyone without charging $$$

Amazing , thank you for posting !

Liked and subscribed just because of Jonathan Boyd's ad trying to get my money for plagiarizing your concept. Almost had me but I just felt like I was being manipulated. Glad I researched before giving him the time of day. Thank you sir.

What a great description, simple and to the point. Thank you

awesome !

what are the rules for melodic minor scales since they are different patterns Mr @Michaelpillitiere

I have started learning scales and have found this method to be amazing. It simplifies everything so much. I do have a question that I am hoping someone in the comments can give some guidance on. I have played the A Major Blues Scale which I believe is a pentatonic scale that doesn't seem to use the XYZ shapes or the XXXYYZZ pattern. How do blues scales or pentatonic scales get adjusted or correlate to this grand unification pattern?

First guitar lesson ever - it all made sense within 2 mins. It's a framework ...

Thank you, Mr. Pillitiere. I found you through reviews of Jonathan Boyd and I am so happy I did. I've been playing for more than 25 years, but I was never able to make the transition to lead guitar as I hate rote learning. I took lessons and lost interest when it seemed I had to memorize endless scales and modes. I've made more progress with your approach in two weeks than I've made in the last 20 years! Your algorothim is easy to remember and I can now jam to just about any key and in multiple modes. I've still got a long way to go, of course, but I can now focus on technique and fluidity without thinking about scales, etc. Thank you! It's been a long time since I had so much fun with my guitars!

I am currently three minutes in, and I can already tell this is gonna open a whole bunch of doors for me. This is awesome.

asking for a little help. I love what I am watching, hearing and learning, but in order to continue I need someone's assistance. This is all pretty new to me, so thanks in advance for any help. Still not understanding how we get in B flat, scale degree 3 how that starts on a D or in the other example at 7:15 in the video how F sharp equals G sharp in scale degree 2. I cannot continue until I understand. If someone can explain it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
