[@rperrin_2845]

I’m a 51 year old beginner who started practicing the pentatonic scale two weeks ago. In 10 minutes this video had me playing 5 notes all over the fret board between the 3rd and 15th frets. That’s a pretty damn awesome light bulb moment for me!

[@trademodejames]

how good are you now 2 years later? :D

[@AnimationByDylan]

Played off and on for 20+ years but have always been stuck in that pentatonic box. You’ve inspired me to break out!

[@alanbagshaw7280]

Dito

[@MaloneysDigest]

Same as. It’s from playing too much zep. I get lost on the higher strings and get annoyed with my limitations. I’m working to break the chain though.

[@Bloodfang152]

Ive been stuck in the pentatonic box for a year now & im SO sick of it. How did you manage 20+ years of that same sound over and over again? No matter your licks or phrasing i feel like it always holds the same sound behind it and i hate it... i guess thats why we’re here tho right?! Hahah

[@jeffreyvanhorn1996]

Steve Stine is such an excellent instructor because he doesn't go too fast, and CLEARLY AND THOROUGHLY will explain the same concept in different ways, so that you actually get it!! He puts himself in the shoes of the people who are actually NOT shredders like he is, and patiently but comprehensively articulates and conveys exactly how to make this work for YOU, as we are learning these things. Steve Stine, thank you a million times; we truly appreciate your efforts in helping us to improve.

[@kennethdodd5924]

When Steve says "Have fun before the Why's and the how's," its an invaluable piece of advice.

[@jbrewerize]

In any profession... Some can train but most cannot. Great trainers can explain not only how something is done but also why its done that way in a simple manner. Steve definitely has that skill.

[@jhorellmisa9447]

"Playing guitar is a journey, it goes on forever" thank you sir for inspiring us😍

[@ProbyWaN1337]

This guy is a great teacher. Been playing 15 years and I've learned more in the last hour than I have in years. What an awesome guy

[@ScotlandSword]

Absolutely! Steve Stine is that rare combination of being a fantastic player, and teacher and apparently he seems like a great dude as well. Steve rarely makes a mistake, and almost always corrects his own mistakes almost immediately. Steve has creative and Eureeka-inducing explanations and examples. Gr8 stuff!

[@Derek.Colton]

I've looked at many sites / channels offering guitar and stumbled onto a video from Steve and Guitarzoom, absolutely amazed.. The two videos on basic scales / chords discusing the chromatic, pentatonic, diatonic scales, how triads form chords and the how / why of sharps and flats... that was it.... I was hooked. Add Steves attention to detail, simplify the boring and positive attitude as an instructor we have the best of the best here. Wish Yuetube was around in 1970! Thanks very much Steve for your willingness to go the extra mile and all the behind the scenes folks at Guitarzoom.

[@jerickodoggo9595]

Finding the "two string" octaves from each note along a single string (such as A string) can help you master the notes as they go up and down the fret board. So for the note F on the A-string: F is on the 8th fret, the next closest octave of F(going down) is, on the G string at fret 10. That is F on A-string, but an octave higher. (An octave lower would be on the B string at fret 6) Learn those two string octaves for each note as they exist on each string. There really isn't all that many... Then you can connect any scale.

[@MaloneysDigest]

That’s a great base to go from. A lot of it is trial and error from there.

[@evanvaughn3325]

This comment pretty much changed my life.

[@jamessbca]

I’ve tried the five position thing, but constantly come back to this way of thinking as well. It’s usable in real-time for me. The five positions aren’t (for me).

[@davidrobin5547]

Steve you are an amazing teacher, guitarist and person. So good yet so humble!

[@turtlepoi]

Dude you have an awesome kind soul as a teacher. You've traveled your journey to where you are without forgetting the steps that set you on it. It's crazy plain to see how much you love teaching. You are fantastic at it ,yeah everyone says that, but to do it as well as you do takes it into the realm of genuine empathy. You very effectively put yourself in others shoes, and that is the mark of a great man as much as a teacher. You're rocking the life thing. ..oh yea thanks, I'll definitely be buying into 'Guitar for life' for my benefit and to help support you and your team's work. Thanks for the freebees here , seen a bunch.

[@NihilistWolfe]

Thank you, Steve!!! I've been playing guitar for 15 years and I have learned more in this video than any video I have watched over the years. You are a god send. Bless you!

[@yezr3965]

This guy is an excellent teacher. Much appreciated

[@mikhaelagustinus9320]

I admire him so much. he teaches in easy way to understand.. best online 'guru' i ever found.. greetings from Indonesia

[@rexbesana499]

This brings back memories when I was learning how to properly type on a keyboard. Similar principle in most ways. Steve emphasizes to take it slow which is the key imho to learning. Steve you are not only very good at it but also a gifted teacher. Thanks heaps

[@BenOldenburgDK]

Very well done. Been playing for many years and I can definitely say that I've gained valuable insight from your explanation. I have always had this general idea in my head and have explored it successfully to a certain degree. However, having someone explain it in a very clear and easy to understandable way really helped me to bring it all together.

[@antdod1]

Steve stine your probably the best guitar teacher I've come across I had lessons years ago learnt scales got stuck in that box and in the end gave up guitar didnt think I could understand anything about it.....you teach in such an easy way that it sinks into my brain just awsome and thank you

[@gabort4555]

Thank you for this explanation! I learned about scales and positions for fifteen years but I never understood the importance of learning all the position of a scale. Only because nobody told me that positions should be bound together. I always just jumped between them and that didn't make to much sense. And somehow that way I never practiced to knit them together to a continous thing. Funny how a good teacher can change everything in 15 minutes. After a few hours I first watched this video I could play the E minor pentatonic scale from the nut to the end of the fretboard and back (with some mistakes). I already knew the positions in fact but I never practiced how they fit together like a puzzle. I never knew the importance to practice for hours to get across the border of the positions and back. For three weeks after that I just played (mainly) E and A minor pentatonic scales for blues backing tracks it was so much fun. I know that these are only the basics to play the guitar. Or maybe it is an intermediate level thing. But it is so exciting and groundbreaking. I have just watched this again and would like to thank you. This is the most important video for me about how learn scales on the guitar. You really teach the people to fish.

[@Quazi-moto]

Steve's the man when it comes to teaching guitar. Bar none.

[@jayquanvo5134]

So many guitar teachers on KZbin, but I must say you are one of the best. Everyone else explains music/guitar theory like its complex algebra or quantum physics. I'm completely lost in the first 5 minutes or even if I logically understand what they're saying I can't actually apply it in my playing. You just seem to have such a way of teaching and demonstrating that makes sense. Every video is a "AHA!!!" moment for me which falls so easily like a puzzle piece in my mind. I think my guitar vocabulary has expanded so much just through your videos.

[@Guitarzoom]

[@kretonslovechild7999]

Awesome video! This is must-see for anyone who knows about positions (or "patterns" as they're sometimes referred to) but never understood exactly what they are good for or how to apply them. This vid provided a breakthrough moment for me, and after watching it I applied the "meandering" concept of just taking my time to play through the positions up and down the neck, and had a blast. I found I could expand soloing not only for a given chord, but also for progressions like good ol' I IV V. The great thing about expanding your use of the fret board is that not only do you look cooler because it suggests you're not a rank beginner, but you also sound cooler because of all the different tonal colorings you get when you move all around the fret board.

[@stinkychickentitty]

This was a glorious lesson Steve. Weaving the pentatonic scales was something I was taught in the first couple of weeks of picking up a guitar. Just got back into playing after being away from it for years and you've inspired me to learn the diatonic scales now too. I really like how you stress upon your students the importance of a holistic vision with regards to their playing yet condem an "all or nothing" attitude towards knowledge or technique. Very appealing and relatable. That Ibanez is straight up gorgeous and sounds amazing by the way Cheers 🍻

[@MegaDieseldriver]

[@priyanshurawat3122]

You are the best guitar teacher I've seen because u are so positive about everything. No matter how hard things are but u always keep us motivated. Thanks for everything. I really appreciate u and thankful to you from the depth of my heart.💯🙇‍♂️

[@user-lw6di1be1q]

I was stuck in that exact "box" as u called it for ages..... dont know anything from music theory and "learned" guitar by myself and man i was about to give it up cause i was playing the same stuff all the time i had to solo.... thanks for the video man really reeeeally helped me

[@Guitarzoom]

Glad to hear!

[@kevinwalters2887]

This really helped me and made something click watching this video. This is where I was stuck for a bit. Many thanks for watching this. Great exercise!

[@nicolasschaal975]

You're damn right! I totally agree with you. And I'll add that the best way to get this approach of the fretboard is to work on existing solos. When you try to play the beginning of the "Stairway to Heaven" solo e.g., you notice straightaway you're playing over Am pentatonic 1st position, but then you can't get stuck on this position. You have to move up and down the board (even if you don't want to, you have to in order to reach higher notes). You find back this 1st position at the end of the solo but ... one octave higher (17th fret instead of 5th). I learn also a lot with the solos of "Whole lotta Love" (Led Zep) and "Comfortably Numb" (Pink Floyd). Listen to them and "read" them (tablatures or staves) before trying to play them. I'm not ashamed of the boxes 'cause they're really convenient especially when you're a beginner but then you have to move on. I thought also to paste some little colored stickers all over the board to visualize more easily my scales (if the note can be played, a sticker ; if not, no sticker) but I never did it (too lazy I suppose...) but if this trick can help beginners. See you! Nico from Grenoble

[@brenddevries7792]

It is time to move on and get bettee thanx for motivating me

[@rvbend2220]

Each of your videos reveal a new angle on scales, breaking habits, giving me the sensation that grabbing my Fender, new sounds will come out of it, like magic!!

[@dtolliver55]

Great video! Thanks so much for opening up the neck in a way that I can understand. Your teaching method is effective, concise and most important it works for me.

[@dailyfootprints1214]

and thank you btw, you know most videos i cant understand but your tutorial really makes sense, step by step...learning scales + positions + moving in the neck with same scale, its really easy to understand for those beginners thank u!

[@Guitarzoom]

Thanks for the kind words, Bobby! And thanks for watching! Thanks for watching, Wayne! Getting comfortable with how you hold the guitar is definitely important. And be sure to stretch before you play. Here's a video where Steve shows some of his favorite stretches: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ6qlIGIj9iNh6c The most important thing is, your wrist shouldn't be hurting. Sometimes chords can put your wrist in an awkward position if you're holding your guitar a certain way, and a small change in position can sometimes make a big difference. If you play sitting down, try shifting the guitar to a different spot on your lap, or changing the angle of the neck. And if you play standing up, adjust the strap to a few different lengths, and see if you can find a sweet spot where you can play what you need to play without getting your wrist into an awkward position. Either way, it's important to find the right way for you to hold the guitar. Holding it the wrong way can cause minor discomfort at first, and major discomfort if you ignore it, in the form of tendonitis and other similar ailments. So remember: always stretch, and find a way to play that's comfortable for you. Don't worry about what this or that guitarist does, find what works for you and stick with it. Hope this helps! :-) Just a heads-up, if you want to spice up your leads and create killer guitar solos from scratch, make sure you check out Steve’s Greatest Licks Bundle. It’s 10 of Steve’s best licks courses in one bundle. And the bundle price is less than what some of the individual courses normally cost. Go here for details → guitarzoom.com/greatestlicksbundle/promo-new/ Make sure you check it out, because it ends tonight. And no matter what, keep playing! - Mike from GuitarZoom P.S.

[@yumiryoko221]

Thank you for your focused teaching, Steve! Will definitely slow down & learn to meander more across the fretboard! Kudos!
