Loved this video. Simple, to the point and gave me a foundation to start with building my fretboard knowledge. I'm 70 plus years old and taught myself to read and play music 2.5 years ago. I am intermediate level on the keyboard. I needed and wanted something more to make me learn faster and the guitar is where it's at. I practice both the guitar and keyboard daily. I have 3 weeks on the fretboard and my fingers are just now getting to the point where I can press the strings without grimacing from the pain. I find the fretboard is helping me to learn my scales and chord progressions at a much faster pace. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

[@graemegladman]

You are the only person I have ever seen make playing lead guitar look easy and understandable. Well done.

[@ianwhitelaw921]

Favourite Guitarist Mark Knopfler, this was a brilliant lesson, as I have been playing guitar for 54 years but don't have a clue about the Scales, my wife bought me an Electric guitar for my 65th birthday and its been a revelation for me because I've always played acoustic, and never really improved much because I did not practice enough but the Electric guitar has brought me so much fun and different sounds and I find that i have so much more interest and enthusiasm to learn more Many Thanks for such a brilliant video to inspire us all to Learn and enjoy the guitar more 😀

[@mikekausie9850]

Awesome. I feel the same way. I'm amazed at just how much I could play?! Thank you so very much ! Hey Nick ... Watch out

[@davidlewis3169]

I have been playing for 40yrs and never got anywhere, primarily because I'm a Sloth, but have been really putting an effort into it now for the last year and watching a lot of different teachers, but you make it ALL fall together! WOW it all makes SENSE now!!! You are the Teacher for me. THANK YOU

[@MrStrobey]

David: You mean that there's two of us out there in "I'm a sloth but wanna be Eddie Van Halen" land?? Thank you for a great comment.

[@joseantoniopadillasalgado1103]

He is really good teaching

[@-processdrone-]

I've rarely learned anything from youtube guitar videos, so much jargon. Immediately expect a person to understand words like "semi-tone" "E major" ,"sharp", "flat" as soon as you arrive... This video is astounding! Every piece of jargon was explained as it went along giving the single most productive plain-english instructional video I've ever seen! Excellent work, I think you're going to enable a lot of new music in the world.

[@stuartclarke9060]

Id like to play like brian may hes the greatest

[@joebananas37]

Shawn Lane. Not just because of his staggering speed and accuracy. His tone and phrasing are exquisite. You're a good teacher, with clear instruction and diagrams.

[@cstank-extraordinarydaily937]

Oh my goodness... I have only gotten through about 10 minutes and I have learned so much I have been trying to play guitar for so long playing tabs and not getting any better... omg I can't believe how much I have learned from this video THANK YOU SO MUCH..... AWESOME.

[@stevemason7790]

Too many great guitarists but probably Santana,worked on his shows in Melbourne when I was a young roady,lovely bloke,loves his sound and playing.Learning to move shape to other keys,this has been doing my head in,just picked the guitar up again after not playing for a very long time.Now there is a lot of stuff on youtube to help improve my music theory base,but you have done it in a really good way to simplify this,thanks mate.

[@uechigurl]

Ditto

[@Angellord2k5]

1. Alex Liefson. musical mechanic. writes in so many time signatures and an absolute master of playing. mind numbing 2. First time i've heard playing lead explained so easily. thanks for this. ive been a rhythm player for 42 years and for the first time I want to play lead. Rock on brother!

[@edgewatersbestguitarist1524]

Don't play lead OR rhythm, play Lifeson! He does it all! "FLY BY NIGHT!" Yeah!

[@leadmusicman3]

I really enjoyed playing along with the track. To answer your first question I truly don't have a favorite guitarist. I just plain admire anyone who can play in there own way.

[@billharper3900]

David Gilmore, touches my soul, and you instantly know who it is when he starts to play. SO unique. My favorite part of the lesson was learning the location of the root notes buried within the scale. Great stuff!

[@timhayes8071]

Hi Charlie My favourite part of this guitar lesson was the pattern you got me playing .I am a novice guitarist(6weeks in from never picking up a guitar before).Iam a singer pianist so know some theory. I now realise this pattern you were teaching is for every key which is amazing and I realise I can now play along to backing tracks even with my limited knowledge.I will be signing up for your course and will look forward toall the great lessons you have.Finally found a teacher that can short circuit my learning curve.Thank you for putting this lesson out there .

[@dougeckert5720]

SO many guitarists to choose from across varying styles and genres, it's tough to pick just one...but for a "magic wand wave" I'd have to choose Rik Emmett. So amazing across just about the entire musical spectrum from rock, to blues, classical to jazz and prog. Loved this lesson, especially (trying to) playing with the backing tracks.

[@thegram9207]

Thank you , mate. This provides a play ground amidst all the theory and technique. A reason to switch on the Tele and the few pedals in the house - so far.

[@GuitarMasteryMethod]

Glad it helped!

[@ralphtedford4801]

Y😮

[@edgewatersbestguitarist1524]

I remember jumping up and down in my room as a kid when I did the math and mapped out all the 5th chords for a minor scale and said "...wait, ...sooo , OMG IS THIS WHAT A DIMINISHED CHORD IS?!?! NOW THE MATH ALL MAKES SENSE!! I GET IT NOW!!" total thrill of mental comprehension

[@scottqueen7666]

Man it is so easy to follow along with what you are teaching By far the only lessons I've been able to flow with and grasp Thank you thank you thank you 🔥😎

[@GuitarMasteryMethod]

Great to hear!

[@davidkarr5119]

I like playing Gospel @ country, my favorite guitar player is probably vince Gill or brad paisley! What l like best about this video is the simplicity of your teaching and how professional you are. Very kind & sharp at what you teach. Very thorough and smooth. Thank you Charlie, appreciate all you do.

[@terryadley4709]

What an excellent way to get people soloing. A real catalyst of a motivator. Many people give up as they are overloaded with too much info at this stage. A great teacher like this talented geezer is aware of that big-time....and much to our benefit. Thank you!

[@Paralung]

☝️Dis

[@guytero8812]

This was for beginners, but I must say probably one of the best guitar teachers I've seen on KZbin. Excellent work. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@johnc.9686]

I've viewed a lot of tutorials on KZbin and I must say this kid is a really good and understandable instructor. Good job man.

[@ima_pizza]

Q1: Marty Friedman, Q2: incredible take on making soloing easy to understand. You are becoming one of my favorite go-to youtube guitar instructors

[@steveordes9400]

You finally made it understandable. Learning that the scales identify between major and minor positions and options to play in major or minor was just understanding that in major use higher fret on the scale to identify and in minor to use the lower fret :

[@michaelmorris7293]

As a beginner, this is the BEST lesson I've ever seen! Great teaching style...very informative and easy to follow. Charlie explained this far better than my regular guitar teacher has. Fantastic!

[@coycarlson4979]

Wow !, most EXCELLENT instruction - I have been playing guitar for many years as a rhythm guitarist because I mainly know many different chords. I am only now starting to do small riffs and runs as I do not really know scales - though I do have a fairy have a developed ear so can pick up a lot a playing by ear. The AAH HAA moment is coming into my understanding - starting to see the trees though the forest so to speak .THANKS YOU very much 🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍👍❤️❤️✌️✌️✌️✌️

[@kristielynn9936]

Wow thank you for explaining it so precise and clearly. You're a confident and skilled teacher ! I'm grateful for your help and keep up the wonderful work 🙏

[@masonkanterbury3007]

Best lesson I've seen. No convolution or unnecessary tangents. Thank you.

[@skinnypup1]

Outstanding!!! I can only echo what has been said, but this is the best i have seen. I started seeing the fretboard in a more understandable way in minutes. Salute!!!!

[@mikebarrett1466]

Brian May, I just love his sound. Playing along to backing tracks, it always makes me sound like I'm actually pretty good, as apposed to someone learning lol

[@tfrick4255]

I've been struggling for 4 years and I believe this video is going to be a game changer!

[@Vitalsigns8]

Question #1 Stevie Ray Vaughan Q#2 the ease of moving up and down the fret board in any key. Very well explained , and the scale pattern playing to back track was great

[@amac8487]

Damn… it’s amazing how hard it is to find an actual detailed explanation of how solos are created. Great lesson and excited to give it a shot!

[@nagaraj-sv6rp]

Raj 62y,here from Bangalore, India, great teacher you are, thanks. all your efforts appreciated, I started learning keyboard, cracked scales, chords and staff notations, now I can read guitar book I bought in 1978. Thanks for your video, I understood, and want to practice scales on acoustic guitar. My dexterity not sufficient for chords some how till date.

[@fredcauley4633]

Most informative to me was moving from key to key. All of your instructions were easily understood. I have not a practice goal. Thank you.

[@francispaulmarottikal1839]

God bless🙏 you brother. The way you teach is so cool. I have wasted my time and money over some hopeless institution. But you definitely can make a difference in our lives. I couldn't take my eyes off your lessons. Sweet....

[@maurice19541]

Great lesson! I taught myself to play in this fashion. Once you understand the scales and can get through them cleanly, you'll have fun playing along to backing tracks. Great way to learn and get out of the starting blocks so to speak..bravo.

[@allanlanding6966]

I'm already a VIP member, but; Qtn 1, Ritchie Blackmore, it's what I'm aiming for, in general Qtn2, thee lesson reinforced what I'm already doing , and as you said, gave me more ideas just to play around with just one scale....thanks, it really helps, taking the step to becoming a VIP member was the best thing I ever did for my guitar life...

[@tjvatha2986]

I love everything u taught today. I also learned a lot too. I tried on the guitar just like how u showed it but my fingers seemed to have their own mind. They wouldn't go where I wanted them to go or they were just being a turtle to me. Perhaps when my fingers move better with my thoughts then i will have more fun playing. U r a good instructor. Thank you for sharing.

[@acetech1]

Eric Clapton indeed! What I liked most about your video is your very clear and methodical way of teaching. I'll definitely return.

[@jimmieadams797]

Great lesson, thank you. I have multiple guitarists I emulate, but I have to chose Marty Freeman because of his ability to play every note cleanly, at speed, with clarity and feeling. A Tour La Monde, as well as other Megedeath songs. clearly showcases his talent.

[@jonathankosik9220]

As a life-long bass player, who is now learning to play guitar, I thought this lesson was so valuable in transferring what I've heard so many of my guitarist friends play over the years and getting a really good understanding of jumping from four strings to six. Your teaching style is fantastic. Your explanations are clear and the camera work really helps open up for the visual learners out there. I can't wait to share these videos with my six year old. She loves sing alongs and is the reason I picked up a guitar. Always a die-hard bass player, but this really helped me relax and fall into the movement on the guitar neck.

[@stash7714]

I’m in the same boat, neck is so small, I can move around quite easy but chords….errr

[@WarriorSeeker7]

This guy is a legend 🙌 Just what i needed and well broken down. Kudos 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

[@jaroslavkozuch]

Adrian Smith is definitely my favorite. I'm able to play Iron Maiden songs but when I come to the solo parts it's always a struggle. But I'm getting there guys.

[@expertautotechs7862]

By far the best teaching style i have found

[@shockmarkets7384]

Cheers bloke. Great introduction to lead. Showing the major & minor root notes was note worthy for me. Nice work. Great lesson.

[@MySpooky10]

Everything you do is good you're an excellent teacher

[@larsdahl6594]

YOU are my new favorite guitar player/teacher! You just taught me more in a half hour than I've learned from watching 100 Rick Beato videos. I actually dimly know everything you showed here from just trial and error, practicing blindly over a few years, but now I GET IT, and can build on that knowledge having a plan and predictability rather than just getting lucky once in a while fumbling in the dark (double meaning, I know). Thanks for the tut & downloads!

[@500sureshot]

I’ve been trying to live a childhood dream and learn to play “SOMETHING-ANYTHING”… on the guitar 🎸 before I die ‼ You , for some reason did this lesson & honestly- something snapped and I actually understood what you were doing , AND , I learned more in this video than I have in all the others combined ‼I’m 70y/o but this gives me some new inspiration to keep trying to learn ‼Thank You 🙏🏼 so much ‼ Subed & 🔔 I will look for all your videos- now ‼ Richard

[@Dave4664]

Thank you for explaining that the G pentatonic SCALE PATTERN is simply that....just a pattern based on the G cord... that can be played in different KEYS. Now I get it.

[@elejaces]

Love the video mate!! Finally someone posts a method and a structure that I can use, as opposed to just a finger pattern to copy or mimic for any given song. This is incredibly useful stuff, and the beauty of it is the simplicity of it all. Not trying to impress me (confidence on your part), you are teaching me! Like very much how you tie it all together, it just made sense to me! Thank you! Now, I have to practice :)

[@johnward362]

I have been playing for close to 60 years but have not been playing out for the last several and was looking at some refreshers. You video is a great basic starter lesson. If I may make a suggestion, it would help if you would turn your tab at the bottom over so your notes and your fingers are moving the same direction. It's probably just me but it was sort of confusing with playing the guitar one direction and the tab going the other. Thank you for all your work in putting this together and keep up the great work!

[@mikeoji25]

You make solo playing easy. Can't beat this method of teaching.

[@reenactorrob7901]

I picked up the basic pattern awhile back and also knew about the scales from previous music classes. So I was able to get more into the advanced areas you showed. Never too late too learn a new lick or two. While I admire a bunch of great guitar players, if I could rip off some scorching riffs like Stevie Ray does in Crossfire, I would be pretty damn happy with myself. The most interesting part of the lesson for me was two-fold. First the sliding two frets up at the upper end of the pattern and second, just watching how you tied it all together in an extended melody.

[@navaho5430]

Chet Atkins he makes everything look effortless, great explanation of the pentatonic scales cheers.

[@mrdjhex]

Best lesson I’ve seen so far, very helpful for my understanding of guitar basics. Thank you

[@Gary_28]

Great lesson and very well explained, if I could have anybodys skills it would be 5he late great Gary Moore, he was fast melodic and could play anything with so much feeling, great stuff keep it up!👍

[@deepakrebentisch9173]

excellent lesson you made it so simple and very encouraging for new guitar learners; God bless you Sir.

[@The_Aussie_Fella]

Finaly a proper lesson with somone who explains it soon as u started improvising with the scales a lightbulb clicked absolute hero. And i would have to say Kirk bcs he was taught by one of the greats and his solo improvisation gives me goosebumbs. Eg. My freind of misery Metallica solo in that so powerfull. Thanks again great lesson made my year

[@TheMetalmachine467]

[@Paul-kd8dj]

I have just picked up a guitar because i love guitar music in any form, from Spanish to the shadows and of course ROCK I love the rolling stones ,black sabbath,and too many to mention PETER GREEN Fleetwood Mac

[@jimbuhler7967]

You are a great teacher ,so easy to follow!!!

[@lokevoice]

Give me Gilmour. He doesn’t need flashy, speedy technical displays of playing (though he’s certainly capable of it), he doesn’t need to show off. His focus is on picking *just* the perfect series of notes played in *just* the right way to make you feel things you thought you weren’t capable of feeling then make your face melt like the guys in Indiana Jones. He has something that can’t really be taught, so that’s why I’d want it.

[@TheRealTacoJohn]

So much feeling and tone with just four notes

[@47thanks]

i would choose clapton as well. Smooth, and confident. For the lesson I liked the "instant" knowledge. Well explained so I could try it right away. Thanks

[@moogdome2562]

[@Edward-tr3ql]

Great lesson Charlie, I've watched a few of you lessons and you are definitely one of the best of what do, that I have seen.. Thank you so much for simply breaking it down...The guitarist that I dig and would like to play like is the late great Stevie Ray Vaughn. He plays with so much feeling and comes out in his playing. One of the all time best in my opinion.

[@slestage5725]

Eric Clapton, BB King or Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Thanks so much for making this so simple and easy to follow and understand🎶

[@mtnmixtape2829]

I feel like you 😂

[@stevenlaverty504]

Great Great Lesson! I want to know if the solo chords are C, F G, do you change the pentatonic scale every time the rhythm player changes chords? Or would you stay in C the whole time?

[@solofox8546]

Hitting the root note(home) on the chord changes to help the groove. For example c note on c chord then go through random stuff f note on f chord then go random till it's time for the next chord change. helpful to guide you to soloing. In a c chord is c e and g so emphasize those note over the c chord to keep the c sound ... F chord is made up of f a and c notes so emphasize those notes when f chord is playing. It's all the same notes in the c scale though. You merely are just highlighting the chords

[@edwardescobar6593]

Thank you so much for the lesson it is one of the best I have come a cross You are a great teacher.

[@errolthomas5129]

I enjoyed every bit of this lesson: With this new scale pattern I can now move freely on the fretboard. This gives me more options. However; I need to know more scale positions to make it easier for me. Real nice lesson. I am just beginning to play I need more of this. My most loved player/guitarist would be BB King or Santana. I like the both of them. I also ordered some stuff from you (The 101) package and did receive it: I just hope that my money was/is not lost. Kind Regards.....Errol Thomas

I know I've had a couple of drinks it loosens me up but that's okay I'm going to get my guitar plug it in to my amp and I'm going to start playing this because you are an amazing teacher

[@budgreene8142]

Being a lefty , I have to use more brain power to invert scales. I have to basically reverse everything except actual music notation & tabs. When I was a beginner, it really helped me to scribe my own LH chords next to the RH ones just to minimize the brain power of having to look at everything backwards. If I had the resources, I'd teach a course based on 10% of the lefties on the planet
