[@doc221978]

I'm learning a little bit each day.... Bookwork for 30-45 minutes and then play for a couple hours. I only started learning theory about 4 months ago. I think the worst part it that I learned 6 instruments before I could read a single note.... My family is full of musicians that can't read music.

This is so great! It connects my pentatonic scales with arpeggios in a way that helps me to play more rhythmically and create better sounding phrases. Thank you Paul. The symmetry of the fingering helps the rhythm. I hope that makes sense. I have been playing for many years. This is very helpful in mastering arpeggios and the whole fretboard.

This definitely requires a bit of prerequisite knowledge. Anyone confused by this should go learn what a scale is and also learn intervals. Then how chords are formed from intervals. Don't worry, it's actually very easy to learn.

I really appreciate your videos! After 15 years break I got from bass to guitar. I never had the money for a teacher. I played what I liked, but got stuck at that level. But thanks to guys like you, I learned very much in this one year. Currently I'm stuck again, but I use this to learn the theory part and eventually I'm getting better. Tl;Dr: Thank you!

[@toddbeeman5933]

*Excuse me, I need to drink this coffee before it gets cold (awkward pause) ..it's already cold.* I laughed so hard! Useful video! This is one of those playing styles that can advance most any skill-level guitar player, after simply going through the fingerings several times. When I first started playing guitar 15 years ago, I would only use my pointer and pinky. Between playing 2-stringed chords, a simple arpagio made for better sounding chord progressions. Now, I play similar arpegios in the middle of some much more advanced riffs, licks, and soloing ..and that's true over multiple genres. Great instructor, and easy to understand!
