[@MrNEL500]

Not everyone can teach or explain more clearly like this guy! The best teacher on youtube! Thank you!

[@t.childs1128]

... okay Ricky ... "fess-up" ... You are the reincarnation of whoever it was that invented the guitar !!! I been 'at-it" for over 50 years as a student, hobbiest, amature, teacher and a pro ... You should be "knighted". You are a national treasure. To say your insights into this instrument are profound is a vast understatement. Thank you !!!

[@gypsycat619]

One of the best guitar lessons on the Internet!

[@georgevillanueva6926]

I totally agree

[@walterbrown847]

Thank you so much for the, "LIGHT BULB" moment. I'm a fan of your teaching method! Please keep them coming.

[@philbivins7133]

Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. I have learned tons of stuff. After a 54 year sabbatical from guitar, I have decided to start all over again and I haven't seen a better teacher. Thanks again Ricky. Phil from across the pond!...LOL

[@jimdep6542]

FANTASTIC ! Thank you. These are the keys that unlock the doors ! Much appreciated !

[@That.old.mountain]

Little Ricky down in the left hand corner made me laugh

[@desy2478]

This is magic thanks. I've had a lot of trouble linking scales until now. This one's gone on my practice routine list along with some of your other stuff. I've been quite happy strumming and singing for years but your lessons are helping me to go much deeper.

[@uphillbill]

I've almost got this sorted out in my head. Only been playing about 35 years but not real serious for many of those years. I'm a slow learner. I enjoy your lessons and tips. Please keep them coming. Thank you.

[@rickysguitar]

Cheers Bill. Thanks for the kind words. It encourages me to make more videos. More interesting stuff coming soon! Keep at it!!!

[@78tag]

Four years later I have the same comment. Goodonya Bill! After watch several of the videos over the years I made the next obvious move - ordered the spiral book.

[@Mudplucker]

Feels like I’m watching a magician give away all the trick secrets! Why haven’t I seen this before? Ricky you’re an absolute diamond 🙏🏻

[@laahchan1]

Ricky, this class is brilliant. Thank you. I still have to digest and internalize the process, but your material is extremely helpful.

[@MYGAS21]

Your a great teacher .... and as a thank you and a token of love and appreciation from Greece .....I will give you a small lesson of my own in Greek .....Iso means equal and sceloi means legs. ... So the isosceles triangle is the one with the "equal legs". Thank you again.

[@yoyeo1900]

I'm three years late but, that was the best lesson I've seen for navigating the fret board. Thanks for sharing!!

[@salort2934]

This lesson saves a lot of wondering in the desert.

[@mackvismusic8622]

I believe that your in the group of best guitar instructors on YT. Many thanks!

[@rickysguitar]

Eyup Mack! Thank you for your lovely kind words my friend :)

[@konarain]

You're..all the younger guys misspell this..Aloha

[@whatarefriends4]

This is why I suck because I kinda had the idea but I obviously didn’t think it all the way through to recognize the identifiable triangle shapes. He’s a genius I hope gets rich as hell

[@rickrutledge7361]

Triangles for the win…another AHA! moment. Thanks, Ricky!

[@mackvismusic8622]

I won’t mention their names, but you are in the top ten of YT instructors. Many thanks.

[@mattygamache]

Hey Ricky! Thanks for replying to all my previous comments. This lesson is mind expanding. I am about to practice riding the elevator the rest of the night! BTW, anyone else reading this comment, I just bought the book and so far the book has explained everything that I NEED to know clearly! Cheers!🤯

[@albertmartino1535]

Ricky you really are a “General”! I’ve been searching the web from 10 years back and there were limited qualified, “effective” “teachers” of guitar… many well intended musicians, some over complicated methods of teaching. I’ve found some good theory people. Learned some good solid and accurate info, etc… But now finally I found Ricky recently and You have made it happen for me 3 nights ago! That magic moment when what’s in my head is finally getting out into this beautiful, amazing instrument! I’ve wanted this since I was a child and saw Fab 4 on Ed Sully! 64 years old and have too much or as I like to say , just the right time on my hands. Ricky Thank You too much! I’m sticking with you my friend. “There will be a little something extra in your Christmas envelope next year”! All right… This year! One Love

[@chrisabam]

I used to see the 2° n 3° as inconveniently moved cords, you teach to use it as a tricky tool! Thank u

[@78tag]

"Random Spices" - exactly! Sometimes I cook breakfast with the same basics (eggs, meat, potatoes) but different spices. Some of the results I would never torture a guest with but I learn from them. A better way to learn is to actually understand why I use the spices. I might consider a guest tasting them at that point. BTW - I like your transition from white board over to pdf - excellent move. 👍👍👍 🙂

[@greggaedeke2386]

I've been.playing for about 10 yrs and still have yet to unlock the fretboard in an easier way. You have helped me alot. Thank you! Keep them coming!!

[@maxkelter3561]

Yes, I like your idea of seeing the triangle shapes on the G&B strings. Especially at the end of the vid diagraming them all together. Tnx.

[@towlie337]

I know this comment is late to the party but....so am I so here goes. This triangle map is fantastic thank you, but this triangle map does it link up with the grid you show in the "play chord tones in any key" video? Meaning that if you could visualize the grid as well as this wonderful triangle map you could play all of the pentatonic positions in any key AND combine chord tones as well?

[@rickysguitar]

@@towlie337 EEEEEVERYTHING links up. And to answer your question it does indeed hook up with the grid. That's another video I have yet to make :)

[@towlie337]

Fantastic cause I was away from my guitar when I watched this video and was trying to visualize the link. That grid video has been such a boost to my ability to solo and sound competent and it has elevated my practices to a level that I never thought I could reach. I record the sessions to see where I need improvement but when re watching I am impressed with the fact that I actually sound like a musician. Ha!

[@towlie337]

@@rickysguitar you rock and I am so glad that I found your channel. Thank you so much from across the pond! Keep doing what you do!

[@Tcontinenza]

It took a few plays to figure this out but I am now seeing the triangles shapes as I move up and down the fretboard. Thanks!

[@jamesbanks2492]

I think you're absolutely great you're one of the best teachers I've ever ran across and I truly appreciate your ability and also your knowledge and could you give me a list of all your material because I truly want to be a blues player one of my favorite players that I would love to play like would be Buddy Guy Stevie Ray Vaughan just your name a couple thank you so much for your time you have a great rest of your day may God bless you and keep you safe cuz us guitarist need you😎😎😎!

[@robinanderson1115]

Very well taught . No more guess work 4 me ,now that I found yr Channel .Thanks mate..

[@wittewel]

Hi Ricky, I love your way of explaining all guitar stuff in an easy way! It realy is a big pro and fun to learn via your videos! Cheers from the netherlands!

[@russellgalloway4343]

Ricky is the Best I watch everyone I can find even though I been playing for 50 yrs.. I hope you read these Ricky I do think you're the best by far.

[@lorrainepec7577]

THANK YOU for this! I've played music (by ear for +30yrs) using chords only! Now (covid time) discovering the notes across the Fretboard and boxes and shapes which I need to memorize and practice esp. fingering exercises.

[@declanrwalsh5719]

HI Rici, Greetings from Ireland, At Last - the way to connect the boxes in a very clearly explained way - what a revelation and such a great help !! You are also very kind to allow the pdf download - which I now use all the time! - thanks again.

[@rickysguitar]

Cheers Declan! Thanks for watching. I'm struggling to make videos what with the current world situation and trying to keep my music school going. But I have a follow up to this video planned. I appreciate you taking the time to comment buddy

[@donnieellis9305]

Wow... Ding, Ding, Ding! Awesome Lesson! Think the word you was looking for is Redundant. I'm hooked on your lessons!!!

[@mjjames2442]

The elevator shaft lesson. Nice.

[@ftlaud911]

Phenomenal idea. Mapped it out and your using A Minor notes on G/B string to connect them. Makes sense!!! Your such a great teacher and enjoy your energy/teaching style.

[@steveg.3022]

Yes. I’ve used these triangle shapes a little without knowing the power of them. This is great! Thanks.

[@betterworldok3802]

You are a fun teacher to watch, I'll never get bored with your methods

[@iamanovercomer3253]

Yeah, he's straight up. He takes to you not at you

[@tkmslee]

Loved that descending @ 22:41

[@mrbeanonemillion]

Thanks Ricky. This is so helpful. I could play the shapes til I fell asleep before but couldnt link them up until now :)

[@MAKH7777]

This is one of the best lessons on KZbin! I certainly did not know what I don’t know and missing out!!😊

[@allenleitch1783]

Love it. BRILLIANT accessible delivery of easily digestible content Thank you

[@harrychristie5392]

Great lesson Ricky ,a simple way to move up an down the neck , in my sleep I’m dreaming BT LT RT an believing I can actually play guitar then I wake up and realise you still need to practice 😂

[@charmelynlayam5840]

I owe u a lot Ricky. Thank you

Brilliant teaching Ricky thank you.

Oh Mate... You truly are the Satnav for the guitar territory... This is exactly what I needed because I never understood where to go. You have explained it so eloquently and I cannot Thank you enough. Can't wait to practise now I know the route.

[@simonc5407]

I have watched loads of tutorials and in my mind you are one of the very best.

[@alexramsey4618]

Hi Ricky, Thank you so much for all your videos... Absolutley great job... All the best mate!

[@theOGhuggybear]

I had to weed through a lot of other videos to find this gem, but it was worth it. Thanks for the lesson! And now that I've started seeing triangles, I can't stop. I'm jumping around note triangles within boxes creating licks, and using triangles to move up and down the neck.

[@jodojodo8558]

Jack Black hasn't got a patch on you Rick 👍 pure savage lessons - thank you so much!🎉👍

[@davedavem]

Every little golden nugget of awesomeness blows my mind! I struggle at the dusty end, but you just showed me it's the lower frets plus an octave at the markers - ignore the get numbers. It should have been obvious! Thanks!

[@jessemelendez6305]

Hello Ricky, Great video, it has opened my eyes. I can't believe how well you simplified the fret board.

[@rickrutledge7361]

Really good lesson. I had another “aha moment”!!!

[@njubran]

Very cool, can't wait to try this

[@kenmcferran5482]

Such clarity. 👍 You're a gem.

Brilliant! I wish I would have learned the useful pattern long ago. Another useful nugget of information to loosen the handcuffs of playing horizontally. Thanks!

[@lnhislmage]

I realize this is 4 years old live video but I just started getting your videos on my suggested feed last night and I have to say that I feel like I just found the proverbial Golden Ticket! I’ve only seen a few videos but they were hands down the most useful lessons I’ve ever watched. (And I’ve watched a more than a few) Greetings from Minnesota and the upper Mississippi River Valley

[@precisionmotorsvanik7021]

Really informative. Been trying to find a clearer way to connect the cage system...shame to learn the caged positions and not know how to connect them together. Thank you mate! You made learning the guitar a little easier. Being an auto mechanic I just love your analogies, right on point.

[@eduardopanameno3988]

Thank you very much!!

[@bigshuff]

Mate just found you on YT tonight and your lessons are just what I need. Angus Young and Malcolm Young are my inspiration I've been trying to solo like Angus for ages but never quite got there maybe this will help.

[@larryjones6061]

Smashing thank you

[@user-qx3yi3qo6j]

This really will help me move over the positions which I have been struggling. Great lesson! Thanks

[@lmactapout]

Awesome lesson! I’ve noticed the triangles before but never put the pattern together logically like that.

[@darethomhenstb5714]

Great job simplifying how to move up and down the guitar fret board on two strings . Very simple explanation..

Hmmm? Sounds like a lot of potential. Thanks for showing us a new route to get around the neck. Thanks again!

[@davidlegalley1161]

Very helpful Ricky! 👍🏾👍🏻🎯

I agree, You're the best teacher! Where is the isosales, scalene triangle lesson..I lost track of it in my low bandwidth area! Aloha

[@paulb107]

This really is a class tutorial that really cements the way to link the pentatonic boxes with ease. Never seen it before and didn't even think of it. Thank you Ricky you really do know your stuff 👍

This lesson is the secret sauce to playing shred pentatonics all over the neck!
