Makes sense, I think there is a lot of context missing here before we get into the detail. It feel a little like explaining how electrons spin without explaining what a molecule is. I'm still not sure of the HOW or the WHY after watching this. I was lost when the highlighter came out, as in, what's the significance of this. Maybe I need to watch more of this series?

[@reecewoods2680]

Omg, this has literally blown the fretboard wide open for me. Finally a lesson that makes something like this easy rather than "just learn the notes" thanks so much for this

This is terrific. I'm using this with my guitar students and I actually made an assignment out of it where they have to fill in the information on a blank guitar fretboard.

Fantastic to hear Brad! This is only part of the story. I have a follow up/expansion of this idea that makes playing guitar so much easier in my live stream tomorrow at 7pm UK time. Well worth a watch if you want your mind blown!

I am glad I seen this video because it was another technique into finding my notes. I am practicing octaves, string pairs, the minus 5 trick, learning each fret by major note, and now this. The Battle Ends....... have helped me a lot. Thank you. Keep these gem videos shining.

[@brendajeannewyche]

I keep my guitars by my bedside. So when I wake up, I can see the fretboard right away & I can grab them to practice. Soon as I wake up, I look at a guitar & read off the notes on the 6th & 5th strings, to make it second nature memory ~ To let it sink in. Then, I close my eyes & think in my head, A String: 3 is C, 5 is D, 7 is E, 9 is F# & so on. Then I think about the E string & I go, “3 is G, 5 is A, 7 is B, 9 is C# & so on. I learned it in a couple of weeks. I only got overwhelmed when I tried to learn all the strings at on e. Then, I came across a teacher who said learning the 6th & 5th strings are the most important, because those two are where most blues, rock & pop are played. That was very encouraging. I’m proud to have learned the E & A strings this year, 2023. It was an important New Year’s resolution. ❤️😁

You are the best... The most concise, genuine method with clear explanation I ever found to navigate the fretboard with confidence. It's amazing. For those who are confused about his rules, it's a vertical navigation trick from top to bottom following his mnemonic one after another within a cycle: R1) G to B = +1 refer to the 3rd to 2nd STRING move following the mnemonic R2) F to B = +1 refer to his mnemonic cycle to start over again R3) is the combination of R1 and R2 You are genius, I've learn something today. Thank you very much, may God bless you bro.

This video is brilliant! When I was 16 y/o I told myself I'll give guitar a try for 10 years and if it doesn't work out in 10 years find another line of work. Well, it was fun but frustrating and unprofitable. Moving on. This idea that I can play guitar again, even if haltingly and badly has dogged me, nipping at my heels for decades. In my early years, I was taught guitar by bandmates mostly self-taught, learning the fretboard with the encouragement of the musicians around me from a few basic scales. Years later coming back to the unfulfilled longing to project my own voice in ringing guitar strings, eating humble pie, and ignoring arthritis, I bought a cheap rig, some guitar books, and soaked up some instructional videos and KZbin videos. Both too much and not quite enough information to make it all come together. I have lately been grappling with the complexity of the guitar's layout and the translation to guitar notation. EADGBE don't forget the WTF? A BC D EF G >< G FE D CB A. Many, many thanks to you, Ricky Comiskey, unlocking the arrangement in such a clear and memorable message. This is the boost I needed in this moment. Much appreciated.! Absolutely awesome. Love this video, it is magic, poetry, and engineering. Always the best.

Ricky, Thankyou for this. I have been on a "Quest for Fire" for more years than I care to reveal and this is a gift of clarity and demystification I wish I had known or been told of many, many years ago. If people would spend 1/2 hour of effort to listen and understand this the reward is outstanding. I see people here expressing their self doubt about learning and comprehending what this all means to their playing. You're literally handing it out to everyone on a platter. I would hope that more players would put aside that doubt and realize that an hour or two with the guitar, your chart of the fretboard and some really fun exploration will enrich them with freedom on their instrument that will make them smile like they had won the lottery. This is really special, thankyou so much!!

[@VLKV_loves_you]

wow. I’ve been playing for over 20 years and this is still super helpful. I ended up memorizing the fretboard by using a tone row where open E was zero to 11th fret as 11, was finally able to see the patterns you’ve illustrated here much more useful with notes for key signatures. Great lesson!

New to guitar, coming from piano and it's been strange just not knowing where all the notes are and having to sort of work it out. Will try to keep this in mind.

Just remember that the F is the next fret higher than the E and the C is the next fret higher than the B. All of the others have a fret in-between and either a sharp or flat. Once you learn how to navigate the fretboard knowing those things it's easy to learn all of the note locations

I learned how to play as a kid, by ear. Then learned tabs later. Then started learning sheet music and such way later. My mother was a music teacher, and tried to teach me, but i just got confused. Something I've learned over the years now is, when you listen to great players like Eddie, Jimi, even SRV. The very seldom play a song the exact same way each time. I have several different recordings of Little Wing. Some by Jimi and some by SRV. They each played it differently from each other and differently in different recordings. The best advice i ever got from a guitar teacher, you can learn something someone else wrote and played. But, play it your own way as long as it sounds good. Make it your own. We all have different bodies. One may have longer fingers than another. One may be more flexible than another.

I didnt and still dont understand chords, notes, keys, scales and how they are components and how these components work together. Just an general idea of their existence. This is a big piece to a picture im still trying to figure out. The way you explained this was very helpful. If i could make a suggestion. Add a segment where you highlight each bar of pentatonic scale (in different color for each bar). I think that would fully capture a lot of information a beginner like myself could use that really deepens the understanding of the fret board. Thanks!!
