So useful, very well put. I only really started feeling free once someone pushed me to play entire scales on 1 string at a time. It really forces you to start trusting your ear.

[@JoshuaDeLaVictoria]

Yeah that’s another great way to practice fretboard knowledge! As long as you can use it to play in a melodic way

[@appuser]

Yeah, I started to focus on this when I was playing more. You start to realize that (obviously!) all/many notes are available on the fretboard, you just have to choose the most comfortable position and/or the ones with timbre you're after and know where to find them, and then you can essentially play anything. It's just like how a pianist will know what each of the keyboard keys is due to it's position relative to the other keys.

[@TjDES]

@@appuser Right, and if you then get comfortable enough with the note distribution you can stop thinking and just guess where the scale would go if you move somewhere else in the neck.

[@averychilco]

This was the best KZbin lesson ever but what is crazy, Hendrix played in one area of the neck and got a million sounds. LOL

[@tomm5023]

It’s something I lately started to do, scales on one string….with one finger. In a way you approach more what a singer does, gliding into a note. It’s also handy if one day you’d start using a slide.

[@tim5360]

Never been so excited to practice scales

[@willduke32]

😃

[@Nrthrn]

I've never seen this concept explained so easily. Awesome video my dude!

[@JoshuaDeLaVictoria]

Thanks bro, glad you liked it

[@NicholasPalance]

This is the kind of thing where you wonder how nobody else has articulated it this simply. Good stuff! [sub]

[@iBoss818]

This is sick, dude. I feel like my improv solos are super repetitive, so this is gonna help to mix things up

[@jthomas2345]

Currently in the middle of 5 day weekend due to Hurricane Helene (it passed, we’re good), and this has been perfect to learn!! THANK YOU.

[@southboundguitar]

Congrats on making it through it. I’m next door in Birmingham. The air is full of salt today. It’s crazy. Happy noodling!

[@JoshuaDeLaVictoria]

Glad to hear you're safe! Thanks for watching!

[@PRR-ny6eq]

My entire community lost something. WNC is traumatized. Stop exaggerating things for internet points

[@cloutimusmaximus3773]

@@PRR-ny6eq where's the exaggeration though?

[@Cmaxb9]

This is absolutely wonderful! I really appreciate this way of thinking and your teaching of it is fantastic. It sounds so nice/open/free, very Eric Johnson-esque. Thank you for sharing 🤙🏼

[@hughforster]

Nice lesson man, appreciate it. It’s good when someone comes up with a little different way of viewing things. Great playing too.

[@ΓιωργοςΣταμπολιδης-θ3ξ]

Wow, I can't believe I didn't think of something so simple! Over the past few years, I've made great progress with my technique, but I've stopped playing anything interesting because I got stuck in repetitive patterns. This breakthrough unlocked a flood of solos for me. I started connecting the patterns in my head in a pentatonic way, then added some "all notes" shredding in certain sections, before returning to pentatonic and linking it all together. This has had a huge impact on my playing, and in turn, on my life. Thank you so much!

[@kilogreene8738]

I really like this. I've been practicing my forms in 3rds, 6ths, and 7ths lately to help break out of sounding the same. But expanding the boxes and your diagonal technique naturally hits these bigger intervals. Super cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheMorefield]

Great fuckin job man👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 You killed it. One of the best communicative tutorials that actually had substance. Keep rockin🤟🏾😎🎉

[@averychilco]

@@TheMorefield All women have adopted Tomi Lahren's mantra, you can counter it by taking a woman on a date and getting 2 bills when you order. 🤣

[@zachalicious777]

It was like you understood where I was "stuck". Never thought about making the box bigger to create more choice. And then following it up with how to practice for it, even better. SOO thankful I watched. Keep it up!!!

[@gabrielchaves7768]

amazing lesson, thank you for sharing this! def gonna practice. Your tone is splendid, that intro was so tasteful! cheers from Brazil.

[@JoshuaDeLaVictoria]

Thank you! Appreciate it

[@DUVINDA]

Bro you deserve a lot more subscriptions, love to hear the story of you collaborating with Nural DSP ❤

[@Senorzilchnzero]

You had me hooked from 1st second. Im somewhat of a beginner, a bit on the lazy side to get to the intermediate player, and your clear way of explanation, your voice, your relaxed posture and you taking your time to explain the lesson had me zoned in completely. Subscriber!

[@joshthomason8170]

I love it my man! I’ve been incorporating 9ths and 13ths in practice similar to your super position playing diagonally up and down. Helped dramatically! Nice work

[@21Million_OverInfinity]

Good stuff! I was a classical guitar major, but still haven't thought about thinking in this way! Some of my favorite albums in the bg btw; especially appreciate seeing Helplessness Blues

[@damienkphoto]

This is awesome. Once you start to get familiar with intervals and how they function over chords, this video actually makes way more sense at least to me.

[@luisflaviofisio]

Mind blowing… It’s quite diference, beteween know the box shape, how to use them, and after, how to mix, thank you!

[@BrennonZSmith]

Playing scales on specific string sets is a good one too.

[@JadedDark]

This is conveniently the exact video I needed to find to get me out of my boxy stagnancy. Coming back from a break, I noticed my sessions were more like "Linear Pentatonic Noodling." Thanks for the content.

[@GregBanksMusic]

Thank You! I’m self taught and have been feeling stuck with improvising, this has open the road map!!

[@Groovychu]

Yea this raw

[@Groovychu]

Ugghhh Bro i got to the good part

[@harshitgargmusic]

The best video I have watched to get out of same playing, thank you so much!!

[@MuscalityInObscurity]

you actually put the way i learned into words; didnt realize that was what i was doing when i got a bit more advanced

[@as_v8]

After 4 years of owning the tab, I’m finally getting around to learning “Kepler”. Thank you for being an amazing inspiration! 🎉🤘

[@danielboxx-]

thanks! this is helping a lot with something I've been stuck on for years. great video !

[@gillesvandevijver7285]

awesome dude! thank you so much!

[@trevornever27]

Subbed, u just deconstructed what i have been learning thru practice and expanding concepts. But having you explain what ive been experimenting with gave me even deeper insight, thanks for a clear and effective lesson

[@uweschramm]

Truly handy tip ... after a while practicing it, it felt very natural - and yes - it is expanding the fretboard for me. Thank you.

[@appuser]

Man this makes me want to get back in to guitar and get good. Thanks for really clear and understandable coaching here, Josh!

[@Stubzi86]

Really useful and fun melodic way to practise. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

[@Marco_Aleman]

I love the way you explained this concept ! I’m excited to work on this and start applying more scales and shapes with it .

[@JoshuaDeLaVictoria]

Yes! Applying this stuff to different scales is so helpful

[@renatotavares7079]

You just blew my mind!

[@MattPlaysMusic]

The improv you did at around 8 minutes was very cool. Can't wait to pick up my geetar and give this concept a shot!

[@SdrumingG]

Great content, maybe an idea for a future video would be to show how this correlates to improvising over chord changes and how it may be useful to see and outline chord intervals

[@joecolgan1068]

Didn’t know I was waiting for this!! This concept was something you sort of explained in your early live streams from a few years ago - John Cordy was asking you about it!!

[@JoshuaDeLaVictoria]

Yeah! It’s something I’ve been talking with students about a lot recently. I felt making a video could be really useful

[@junahvideoplayer]

Lovely stuff

[@gokcenergene5905]

Thank you for putting this so elegantly. I've always thought this, there is nothing wrong with playing the classic pentatonic but if you love guitar, you want more, simple as that. The pentatonic is just a formula and it produces formula music.

[@waxamilionguitar]

very cool man!

[@oscarsanchez298]

I came into this video, not thinking I would learn anything, but damm dude. I don't even play using pentatonic, I usually incorporate full scales to add more variety, but the way you explained how you incorporate the pentatonic scale is def gonna change my sound. 10/10

[@cajuncrackerranch7990]

Thank Joshua. Good stuff.

[@patrickegan8963]

Great video and explanation. I subconsciously used this super position but without purposely using it in this manner. This is one of them ‘aha’ moments I needed. Thanks new sub here 🤙

[@divinemental]

I have seen 3 note per string pentatonics explained before but you add some really great ideas of your own of how to look at it and it opened up a lot for me. Thanks!

[@JoshuaDeLaVictoria]

Thanks! I’m glad you found it useful

[@dustindunphy]

Thanks for showing this. I'm finally picking up my guitar more again and starting to relearn the "boxes". I was trying slide and hammer but not stretch over to the next notes. Racking my brain to see the next shape/ relate it to something familiar and also get away from "caged" esp. because I dabble in major keys so much. This is very helpful!

[@josephfatai]

Man I really needed this. I can finally extend my visual knowledge on the fretboard. Thanks

[@mitc8931]

Sweet, this is what I'll be working on for the next few weeks.
