I've been playing for almost 50 years but just stuck to some basic chord shapes. I've joined a couple of bands and am pushing myself to get smarter on the fretboard. I knew it wasn't too hard, but always felt a giant obstacle between me and being a better guitarist. I think this is the missing piece, explained in a way my brain can assimilate the knowledge and actually put it into practice. I feel like I just struck gold.

We were young and filled with passion. We could learn anything. Now it's harder to focus, there is more frustration. And whenever you try to improve you find yourself stuck cause you have powerful bad habits and stuff you didn't learn the right way. But man it's the only way to access the freedom we always craved to express on the guitar. So unlearn. And learn it the right way throught. You still have the experiences, emotions just learn the langage to express it optimally m'y friend :)

@@onelovitHD That's deep. In the language world, it's called fossilization. Your patterns are very deeply ingrained. Good news though with guitar- if you take one new habit at a time, you can build on all your past knowledge. I admit, I do sometimes feel like I am unlearning things and playing less- but actually playing much better and more musically. For example, targeting notes when the chords change, memorizing all the notes on the fretboard, studying the degrees of the scale and going being the simple I, IV, V to progressions like ii V i or ii V i or I vi ii V, etc. It really opens up new words so while I agree- we get stuck in our ways, we can change and it's worth the effort.

I feel I should add a (very belated) caveat for this video, based on some comments I've received (thank you for all your feedback over the years). 1) This is NOT for absolute beginners. Like with all my lessons, you need to have a basic understanding of the neck. The aim of this specific lesson was to introduce you to the concept of movable patterns - a visual relationship between note positions, or a spatial awareness of how one note position relates to another. This is a step beyond simply learning the notes A-G along the neck. It's about related note positions - something that I'm confident will prove useful as you progress. 2) This is NOT supposed to take up more than a fraction of your practice/study time. I'm aware it's not the most exciting lesson and, as you progress, a lot of this knowledge will blend seamlessly with new knowledge. It's supposed to give you indicators that will eventually sink into the background as you play. Would I do this lesson differently today? Yes. I'd add a lot more clarification for one (and improve the overall delivery and quality). But I hope it gives you some "aha" moments along the way. I still believe the general concept presented in this video will prove useful, given a little time and attention. Thanks for your time and support!

It's still a great video. These are all but tiny pieces of a much larger puzzle. People who watch these videos take what they need and understand and move on. It adds context e.g., your concept of "clustering", moveable shapes and using arpeggios is great. What gets tricky is how the intervals change around the 5th fret e.g., if you circle the relationship between EF BC around the first fret (E&B are open), you'll notice that pattern in many places however the B&C shift a semitone or half-step down the neck when viewing the E at the 5th fret 5th string.) Yet the pattern resumes fine at the 7th fret, 12th, etc. The same shift around fret 5 applies when tuning the guitar in that area as well. The intervals also change between the open strings EADGBBE. I guess this is why can't play power chords on all the strings (e.g., 1 and 2nd string E & B.) Yet power-chords sound especially great on the 5th and 6th (E and A.) Harmonics on 12 and 7 also don't work on other fret areas as well, unless you use a capo. Bottom line, there are many mysteries to the guitar but it's fun trying to figure them out. Thanks for sharing these clues as my learning journey continues! The best tip for any beginner is to give it time- many of the pieces will slowly come together. I've been playing a long time and learn new things daily. As Einstein once very accurately said, “The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.”

Thanks. It also helps to learn the location for the next higher octave of ANY note:, which is found by by making a simple "L" shape: --when starting on either of the 2 lowest strings, the "L" is made by going 2 strings higher (in pitch) and two frets up. --when starting on one of the higher strings, the "L" is made by going 2 strings higher and THREE frets up. --Once you know where the octave starts and stops, it's easy to find all the smaller intervals within that octave. P.S. You explain things better than anyone else on the Internet.

I don't understand why it's encouraged for someone to learn Chords first. Some people grasp them, but I've always had a hard time memorizing chords because I didn't know how - or what exactly makes a chord, and why it looks different all over the neck. For the longest time, I thought you had to memorize a different pattern for every note combination there was, and that was quite an intimidating thought. But this just made everything completely click, chords AND scales are so much easier to understand and memorize after having seen this. I can't unlearn this, and I've progressed more in the last 2 hours than I have in the last 2 years. VERY well done, and from a visual learner - thank you

SORRY BUT ISN'T IT EASIER TO MEMORIZE THE FORMULA : 1+6-4-2-5-3 , which actually is (1+6) - 4 - -2-5-3 ? If i may explain : (1+6) means in one fret the note on the 1st string is the same as the one on the 6th . Every dash means we skip one fret. So after the "(1+6)" we skip a fret and find the note on the 4th string. Next we see two dashes ,which means we skip two frets and find the note on the 2nd string. Next we have one dash again ,so skip one fret and find the note on the 5th string . Finally skip a fret to find the note on the 3th string. Now that's how i find the notes. So this formula shows what your next step should be . Example : If you are on a note on the 2nd string , the next step to find the same note is skip a fret and go to the 5th string. Or from the 2nd string skip two frets backwards and find it on the 4th string.

Great stuff here, thanks! I stumbled on something similar to this a couple of other places, but you have done a much better job explaining how to really squeeze the juice out of the root patterns. I actually look at scales this way too. The classic "5 patterns" or the 7 patterns built in a 3 note per string pattern are too cumbersome and confusing when trying to move around the fretboard. Instead, I work out a scale, using its interval formula, on graph paper (simulating strings and frets) 3 or more times, circling the roots, and ignoring the tuning difference. Then I can see the "one recurring pattern" that the scale creates due to its intervalic formula. For example, the major scale: whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-half. This is one pattern. Not five. Not seven. Just one. All the box patterns and three note per string patterns I see as the same thing, relative to a root note. Combined with the info in this lesson, I can easily see the notes of a scale or key anywhere on the neck, as fast as I can see the root notes, without having to think about "What pattern goes with what root shape". Hope this helps someone like it helped me. If anyone wants a more in depth walk-through of what I'm talking about (with pictures) let me know.

Appreciate the video and strategy you use to memorizing the fretboard. knowing my pentatonic scales, major scales, roots without seeing how the patterns interconnect was not enough. This technique should be shared with guitar players a lot sooner in their journey.

I've been playing a guitar for 1 month and I feel like this is a goldmine

Wow!!! The song that plays from 10:01 to 10:26, can you please just play that on a separate video? I'll use it as my daily motivation when I practice. I hear two guitars there, one is strumming and the other one is picking, heaven!

I watched this video and I realized that I already knew all the patterns in my head but it just didn’t click. Thanks to this video I can actually visualize it and it was only 5 minutes in!!!!

Excellent lesson my man : ) I had learned all this on my own before, but painfully over a long period of time. But seeing this ideals put into a perfectly explained lesson, is pretty nice. Cheers mate!
