I've learned more watching this guy in the last few hours than in the last few years. Great instructor.

[@HollyHoagland]

great

[@PapiSorrels]

Mad Minute you hit nail on head. Exactly right!!!

[@petrossain]

i agree

[@chuckHart70]

No question. He is one of the best out there, best I have seen anyway.

[@PapiSorrels]

HOLY CRAP! This dude is an AMAZING teacher. The visuals he makes you see UNLOCK the confusion of how you see the guitar. WOW, where's more of THIS guy!

[@frigglediggle2]

A couple of months ago I spent 1 full day learning the 5 positions of the pentatonic and the next day I was jamming. Learn the pentatonic, do it, you will be so happy you did. It's crazy how fast I went from feeling like a song player to a guitar player.

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience, Blinky! :-) Just wanted to give you a heads-up, Steve Stine’s 6-Week Soloing Challenge starts Monday, May 2. To join the challenge, go here: guitarzoom.com/6weeksoloingchallenge/promo-2/? If you want to play guitar solos with complete confidence, that sound more fluid and musical than you ever thought possible, you should definitely check it out. When you join the Challenge, you get lifetime access to two of Steve’s all-time best-selling courses, Essential Techniques and Music Theory Made Easy 2.0. With Essential Techniques, you’ll learn the secrets of building your picking speed and accuracy, strumming, bends, harmonics, and whammy bar tricks to spice up your guitar solos, and dozens of licks that will sound awesome in your solos. And with Music Theory Made Easy 2.0. you’ll discover all the music theory shortcuts you need to play freely across the entire fretboard and really get creative when it comes time to solo. Each of those courses can take your guitar playing to a much higher level. But they’re only part of Steve’s 6-Week Soloing Challenge. Because Steve’s holding 6 special live sessions, one for each week of the Challenge. There’s also a special Facebook group you can join, so you can share your progress with other guitarists.

i am actually learning something here and now im even more revved and ready to get my first guitar at 55. Thank you sir!

[@Quazi-Moto]

Never too late, man. Best of luck, and I hope you've been having a blast.

[@Lbstee123]

You are 60 now, hows the guitar

[@RandyBurnettTalks]

This should be the FIRST video all beginners should watch on You Tube.. It took me forever to figure this out on my own. Even with all the other videos on scales & modes. This is the video that will make U start to understand how to look at the fretboard. This is one of those I can't believe I did not see that kinda things. Steve Stine finally draws a picture for you. From here you can start to watch other videos with a clear understanding of scale positions. Brilliant Explanation Steve! He is head & shoulders the best teacher on the web!

[@ellenlewitt]

For the first time ( and believe me when I tell you, I have been trying to figure this out forever) connecting the dots finally makes sense. The "front side and back side" explanation is simply genius. And "snapping" the pieces of the scale together... Man, I am so happy I found you. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. SUBSCRIBER FOR LIFE :)

[@donwilson2945]

Steve Stine! Yes ... Been playing longer than I want to admit, finally someone who can teach in a way I can understand it. Straight forward and well done! Thanks,

[@gregdawe2786]

I am 23 and have been playing guitar since i was like 8 .... barely mind you but still .... I have picked at guitar over the years but have struggled to find the right help to boost me past that initial painstaking part.I already know the finger postiion but just from an hour of practice after this video, i have seen a ton of improvement more than in the previous 6 years combined. THANK YOU , you are a wonderful instructor

[@arnobbaset8676]

you are unbelievably a great teacher.........what i saw other teachers do is simply complicate things and make it evermore difficult for learners......but you simply standout........love from bangladesh ..steve.

[@moogdome2562]

The best guitar teacher on the planet by far. Even I can understand. Best wishes from Sheffield UK.

[@lamloayoub1278]

U have a gift of teaching man

[@Guitarzoom]

Thank you, Lamlo Ayoub! Guitarzoom

[@lisaluco3361]

I have watched so many video's on how to play, I have to say that you explain things in a way that I can understand and apply. I am impressed with your teachings, you really know how to thoroughly explain and demonstrate the guitar in a way that not many teachers on KZbin do. You gave me a hunger to learn more, the light has actually come on and I didn't think at my age I would be able to pick it up so fast. Thank you so much

[@nickdonvito4591]

Aztecs, I've had college all over NYS and almost 4,000 hours of police training and seminars. I just wanted to say that I think you're one of the best instructors I've ever listened to. I used to play lead, rhythm and bass, all through Jr and Sr High, having a great time and even making money at school dances and other venues. But I joined the Army and was wounded badly in Vietnam in 1969 and on wound was an AK round through my right forearm. It took a lot of rehab along with my other wounds. I did it and managed to complete my dream of becoming a police officer. I reached the height of every police rank for nearly 30 years. Since I've retired I kept thinking how much I missed playing again. One of my childhood friends is still playing full time in his new band and inspired me to get back into it again. So far I've gone nuts buying guitars, amps keyboard etc. but it's not like riding a bike like they say, I feel like a little kid, so as not to frustrate mugs elf any longer, I decided to start from scratch. I just stumbled upon your instructions on You Tube and Im so impressed. I will be following you. So think you for making things make sense again and please keep them coming!!! I told myself if I can't pick it up again by the end of winter. The. I'm selling everything!!! Thanks again Steve for making it so easy. Nick in NY.

[@caputmundi2382]

Thump up for not give up.Thats inspiring.Realy is.

[@NOScoper-zv2lt]

Something is magic in the way you explain things like the top comment says I’ve learned more then I have in years I wish every guitar teacher could teach this but it’s like they’re trying to keep this a secret from you

[@Guitarzoom]

Thanks for your kind words friend! I appreciate it

[@wilfred3751]

Awesome teacher. So detailed and technical, but also modest in his learning approach, rather than egotistical. Truly one of the best, out there!

[@fordism.01]

Well explained Steve . I love the way you simplify things . Easy to follow.

[@5StringRob]

Discovered this guy within the last hour. This is just the second video I've seen from Steve. I actually don't play blues - I LOVE it, but it just never really clicked with me. I understand the theory, and I've seen videos and written stuff showing boxes etc. Some of it probably well done and clearly presented. But I could never manage to put any of it into actual practice. (I'm sure a live teacher would have helped). But this guy blows me away. He doesn't even show a fretboard map, and half the time he's talking, not "playing" or demonstrating - both of which would normally suggest to me that I would have trouble with it. But this works !! He's a BORN teacher - gifted !! (that's coming from a teacher, btw) I still love my folk and bluegrass music, but it looks like I'm gonna be learnin' me the blues finally. Thank you Steve - best teacher, hands down, bar none.

[@Guitarzoom]

Awesome! Thank you! Guitarzoom

[@awittypilot8961]

You're last two lessons SERIOUSLY turned on a light for me!! I never saw the 333-44 pattern and now that gives me a way to walk around the fretboard....now looking for tones because the notes are obvious. Ill be workin this big time. I don't have the dexterity to go fast but I can play more tastefully with this information. Besides, Ron Fisher (hearts original guitarist) was one of the most tasteful rockers there ever was and he never shredded. Thanks Steve. I've bought a couple of your home lessons but this wasn't in any of them. Real epiphany for me

[@ALTDOK667]

It's still in the same key, just like he said at the beginning. :)

[@jongutmacher1277]

as a beginner who's watched a number of videos, this is probably the best I've seen.

[@yitzchallevi8208]

Steve - you are a great example of an excellent teacher... thanks

[@1220freddie]

I'm a beginner and oftentimes intimated by own learning style. To put it another way, I get lost, confused, and frustrated with guitar lessons. I don't know how to read music nor do I understand music theory. Yet, Steve's presentation on scales is likely the best teaching I've ever seen or heard. I don't know about you, but I know that my learning style has its own challenges, but when an instructor imprints simplicity, eagerness, patience to a student like me, it works. Thank you, Steve.

[@bobburchett8517]

I used to tech Radar in the US Army and I was damn good at it. This guy teaches guitar like I taught Radar. I am so happy I found this site. The word Pentatonic makes so much more sense to me now. Thank you Mr. Stine.!!!!!!!

[@thebrianbenson1967]

You are truly awesome at imparting knowledge in a way that is easy to absorb and understand, also what pleases me is I'm totally self taught and have used no real literature or aides to learn, a first act guitar book with no cd, that was it, and when I now look at the lessons you do, the noise I'm making is actually music and I know more than I thought, mostly blues fingering techniques is my main objective now, thank-you for everything, Brian 🎸 🎸 🎸

[@nordrammus8323]

Dude this in incredibly helpful, I'd never heard this explained so clearly before. This will really up my guitar playing, something has just 'clicked'! Much love and keep doing what you are doing. Legend.

[@McDoobles]

I’ve watched a bunch of different videos and Steve’s style of learning works well for me. I’m a slow leaner I feel and need visualization. Awesome.

[@learnthetruth1400]

Everything seems so much clearer the way you are explaining things. Thanks a lot!

[@richphillips4850]

OMG...you have helped me more in this one lesson, than a full year of paid lessons. This made it all click and come together for me. Thank you.

[@johnbell662]

Brilliant teaching style! Thanks Steve.

[@markrenko5823]

I just started watching this video and the instructor has amazing presentation skills. I am convinced that I need to focus on his teachings moving forward. I feel good about my ability to make future guitar-playing progress. You know when something feels right!

[@patflynn]

That hair stroke at 2:47 tho Great vid, thank you! Super helpful!

[@40enisa]

you are amazing...i've learned more with your videos than in almost two years with my music teacher

Steve is probably the most genious guitar teacher I ever had.

[@radunicolae482]

I had a group 30 years ago, but haven t been playing since then (no yt at that time, we learned playing by ourselves). Great teachings, i grabbed again the guitar :)

[@pcmikeoftheup]

Major breakthru to my understanding of moving scales around. As always, much gratitude to my northern, almost neighbor!

[@ouwie]

So far this is the most valuable lesson to me ever. Thanks Steve!

[@willsturdy9580]

First of all thank you. I've been strapping this instrument to my body for years and have no idea what I'm doing. This has been the first instructions I have had that actually helped me. It only been a few days. Thanks again

[@sshlubtsisplojus4045]

It is awesome to watch this instructor demonstrate the lesson.

[@sshlubtsisplojus4045]

Overall you are the best teacher on KZbin quitar lesson, Steve. I don't know what state you are living in, if you live near or same town that I live in I am sure that I want to hire you to teach me how to play quitar that I was always want to know how to play when I was younger age.

[@fingerjack]

Out of all the different videos I watch (and the nasty comments I sometimes make)I have to say I enjoy your videos. Skilled, knowledgeable, great production, clear teaching and sensible lessons. You obviously have a passion and care about the future of guitar and it's possibilities. So much better than that Jim Carrey kid that can't go 10 seconds without a contorted goofy face and a bad joke. Even after 30 years of playing I learned something from your videos. Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@whoyoukidding1]

I've never seen it explained like this, and I've watched a lot of vids on the pentatonic scale. I've been strumming my acoustic on and off for the last few years but I'm a novice on the electric. Nobody I've seen ever explained WHY the other 4 positions ARE where they ARE, and it wasn't something I noticed on my own. Now, it makes perfect sense. And the whole "front/back" of the positions and the puzzle analogy makes the whole thing much easier to wrap your mind around. Steve, you're a brilliant teacher.

[@Guitarzoom]

Thank you! Guitarzoom

[@yitzchallevi8208]

You are a remarkably good teacher; may it always go well with you...

[@shawnjbray]

I've known the minor pentatonic scale for years. But I have never been able to do much with it. This video sure helped alot. I thank you greatly

[@baseballmanbriar]

Steve, thanks for these lessons. I have learned more from your videos than anywhere else.

[@francescobertelli8588]

I think you are the best teacher on you tube I have seen so far. and I don't even love ibanez

[@josephgrande4198]

the 1+4 an 1+3 method to learn scales wish i knew before would make learning scales to play alot easier!

[@miguelrivera-je6gz]

Thanks so much for your patience and understanding of our need for you 💗💗!!

[@donlawrence8810]

Steve, I am unsubscribing all the other teachers. You are the bomb!! I learn so much from you in just an eleven minute video. I have been playing for 40 years and I am an accomplished player. But I have always played by ear. I didn't even know I knew scales. I just felt and heard the music. Your lessons are improving my play ten fold. Thanks you for your giving heart to provide theses amazing videos. I will be buying your training in the new future as soon as I catch up on what you are teaching already.
