Like your first teacher, I learned pretty much everything I needed to know to get me going. I figured all of the stuff you presented tonight on my own, with much exploration and experimentation on my own. I've now been teaching private lessons for almost 14 years. I teach exactly what you teach, almost verbatim. Thank you for affirming that I'm doing "good" by my students.

Clarificaiton on the "first lesson" argument at 10:05 - someone said "this is not a first lesson", then Rick said that he never said it was a first lesson. But Rick was thinking of something different -- this was Rick's first guitar lesson, but he already knew how to play! He had learned Hendrix "Hey Joe" solo and his mom had showed him some things. This was the first lesson with Tom the guitar teacher. He talks about it again at 14:50. But "this is not a first lesson" is valid -- it's not how to teach a rank beginner how to play the guitar. By the way, I strongly agree that these are the 5 scale patterns to learn -- exactly these -- and that's how I've been teaching them. Rick gives some good reasons (e.g., the pentatonic scale patterns are a subsets of these patterns, no double whole-step [4 fret] stretches), but there are more good reasons. Here's one: the next note up or down the neck for these patterns is *always* a whole step away. Another: The patterns of notes on strings is always the same for each of the five patterns: For example, if you're ascending and you play whole-half (fingers 1-3-4) on two consecutive strings, then you play a single whole step (fingers 1-3) on the next string, then half-whole (fingers 1-2-4) on the next two strings. Instead of moving over a string, you can move on the same string to two frets higher on the fretboard and continue the pattern that way. It *always* works in every pattern.

The first few minutes are really confusing for a beginner because Rick talks about the positions starting from different places. He calls fret 2 position 2, then he calls fret 5 position 2, then he calls fret 2 position 1 ??? Next he talks about the 6 notes in the PENTA-tonic scale, again this can be really confusing when you are learning this stuff for the first time. Ricks music theory knowledge is incredible and its very generous of him to share it, but I think he has forgotten how hard it is for some people when they are starting out and that clarity is incredibly important when explaining concepts. I bought the Beato book and it wasn't a learning tool in my opinion, more of a reference. The new online version is a huge improvement.

On the half dim arpeggio when you skip the B string in your first example (48:05) you're missing the b7 in the second octave of the scale. All you have to do is bar the g note on the B string with your pinky (or avoid the bar by playing the Eb on the 3rd string then the pinky on the B string). That form I think works better than stretching from the Eb note on the B string to the G note on the B string in your second example. It also keeps your own rule mentioned earlier intact - that of keeping the diatonic scale fingering within 4 frets. BTW the Amin7b5 works perfectly over the Cmin6 as the half dim is just an inverted min6. Even though I learned all this stuff back in the 70's it was a pleasure watching it spelled it out again. Great job.

wow this is just what i needed rick, so much fun finally recognizing how to intuitively think about piecing the fret board together. Guitar technique is so important, so dont give up and start incredibly slowly, playing the scale in thirds (meaning after playing the first note G on the 2nd fret 6th string, play the third note, which is the B on the 5th string 2nd fret. Next, play the A on the 6th string 5th fret then the C on the 5th string 3rd fret, and so on.) Gradually tick up your metronome to higher speeds. muscle memory will come, and you will be shredding after many hours lol.

I recommend one week per position, playing everyday, improvising, memorize where the roots are, play around with eighth note, triplet and 16th note patterns, etc. Doing this before learning the next position really sinks the pattern deep into your memory. I really don't think it's useful to try to learn the entire fretboard worth of scale positions, either diatonic or pentatonic, all at once. Once a player has even one position deeply memorized, they can start to play with modes, and all kinds of exciting things.

Glad you left in the beginning! Everyone forgets the mute button eventually :-) Great lesson. The best way to introduce modes is simply learning the positions for the major scale. It's very easy to understand and practice. Modes than become pretty easy to understand as simply taking the 1st note of the position as root for the "mode" of that position. Focusing on using your ears is so important. Music is easier to learn when ear training comes first.

Rick, at 4:15 you literally said this was your first guitar lesson. At 10:13 you said you didn't say this was a first lesson. I believe people are getting confused. Not everyone goes and gets lessons right off the bat. I believe I've heard you say before that you started out on your own. THEN you got a teacher. I never had a teacher and other parts of life were more important (to me) than being a guitar god. So if I went out and got a teacher, MY first lesson wouldn't be a beginner's first lesson. Keep up the EXCELLENT work. Your knowledge is invaluable and the free content is so appreciated.
