I subscribed to your channel. I'm an older guy too! I played lead guitar in bands when I was younger, and about 6 yrs ago, I sold all my equipment... a stupid move I know. I recently got back into playing. Bought a *new guitar: Ibanez Standard RG421PB - Caribbean Shoreline Flat with a fixed bridge. I'll re-learning music theory and I'm playing again. You're a good teacher with good skills, thanks for the content!

[@firstsgtrichard]

Sir, as a 64 year old new guitar learner ( been building guitars for years), I have viewed literally hundreds , if not a thousand, online lessons trying to figure out where to start...and I think I have finally found out where...your channel...THANK YOU! It' s finally making sense to me now and I am not so overwhelmed anymore...keep up the great lessons brother.

A huge thank you. I am 70 years old and have been playing the guitar for two years. This lesson of yours is the greatest gift to my understanding of how to play a good blues solo.I like and subscribe, I will devote myself to your gameplay. Once again, maximum thanks. George. 👍👍👍

[@rustysguitar1]

Thanks so much for subscribing to my channel George! I really appreciate that and we will talk soon👍

[@doloresneilson5349]

I have no background in music except for the cowboy chords I played as a teen. Music language is so difficult to grasp but now having a note chart for the fretboard, you've taught me that "box" and even understood the blue note. Rusty....You helped me get it. Now I need to learn the order of string picking/plucking and I'll be on my way to understanding fretboard navigation. Rusty, you not only teach patiently but you approach with different angles and examples to make sure we understand. Thank you!! I have watched this 3 times already.

[@rustysguitar1]

I also still get excited when I make connections on the fretboard! Once you have that confidence, it’s easy to play from the heart. Glad you got something from the lesson Dolores. I thank you for your support! Enjoy your week ahead 👍

[@michaellunny8156]

When I started playing the guitar, a friend showed me that exact pattern, and he told me, "that's all I needed to know to play Rock/Blue". That was six years ago, and he was right! That pattern along with studying the five Pentatonic scales, I can now play any key up and down the fretboard. This is a very good lesson for any beginner even though you marked it intermediate players!

[@rustysguitar1]

Thanks Michael. Yes I was shown this pattern early on myself! A great way to move around the fretboard. I appreciate the comment and checking out the video. Later buddy.✌️

If I would have had just one of these lessons, like this one,when I was 17 years old in 1977, I would be light years ahead in my life long learning process!

Anyway, thanks Rusty, So glad I discovered your videos, totally therapeutic!

[@scottgraham7602]

Rusty, you are the man. I love the way that you said, "remember the fretboard in a musical way". That works for me. It's really the only way to learn it, but you must know it, and know it well. I learned that I'm still a beginner after many years of playing (thanks to you) because I didn't want to sit down and try to memorize the fretboard. Now I just concentrate on the notes I'm playing, in little boxes, like this, and the memorization becomes easy.

Your playing is beautiful, but I have no idea what you mean by “remember the fretboard in a musical way”. What are you trying to say?

[@rustysguitar1]

@@stephenwilliams6741 Hey Stephen, what I mean is don’t learn the notes on the fretboard using a diagram or a piece of paper. But learn them as you are playing music. Know where the root notes of the chords and scales you’re using. And then learn the notes around the root notes. The better that you know the fretboard the better guitar player you will be.

I've been playing for about 2 years , I know the pentatonics and major scales but have never had them sound good trying to improvise with them. I watch this video and a light bulb went off. I looped that chord progression and just started playing over it and I couldn't stop I must have played for a half hour. Thank you so much this has helped me out like no other lesson I have ever had.

[@rustysguitar1]

I’m excited for you! You will keep getting better and better at improvising! I love reading comments like this! Thanks buddy 🤛

[@skyshark445]

Before i knew a single scale. I played with this box and a bend. It just sounded right. It sure was good to see someone put it so simple. For those that havent had this in their tool box. Many will have fun with this and go on to make up their on solos. Great Job. Your never too old to learn and no one knows it all. Thx again. I subscribed.

[@rustysguitar1]

Hey Mark, simple, but effective way to look at the fretboard! So many people like the simplicity of this video! And you’re right, we are never too old to learn something new! Thanks a lot for subscribing to my channel! Talk to you soon👍

[@RedMercuryBluesBand]

Ya musta read my mind LOL.....your last vid had your sign behind you and obscured. I was gonna suggest a new angle ha........looks good and the vid quality is great.

[@rustysguitar1]

You’re right! I couldn’t make the sign work on that wall. But it sure looks good in this area. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video Steve. 👍

Hi Rusty, I recently found your channel and am devouring your videos. I'm taking two online courses which have given me the foundational chords and theory, but I've struggled with starting to play solos. You're filling that knowledge gap big time for me, and I really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge. Great work brother!

[@rustysguitar1]

Really happy that you found the channel! Sounds like you’re learning a lot and having fun! I really appreciate the positive feedback! Have a great rest of your week👍

[@simoneric8183]

Yes I agree with you ! Guitarist myself and thinking breathing eating guitar all day through... and yes, sharing is the key ! 💥👍

[@Stuknthe60s]

Thanks Rusty. You make it easy to understand. I’ve been missing something till I saw this video. 😎

[@rustysguitar1]

Nice! I’m happy to help! Thanks for watching 👍

[@1032godofwar]

wow starting on the last note of the scale is a game changer. so simple this whole time yet this helped make it click! thanks so much

[@rustysguitar1]

That’s exciting with something clicks on the fretboard! I’m really happy to help! Enjoy your Friday😎

[@horsetrader186]

Rusty, thank you so much for this. It is very helpful and I will incorporate it into my practice routine. As others have commented, it helps me put together things that I already knew but never connected. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

[@rustysguitar1]

It’s always exciting to make new connections on the fretboard! Glad you got something from the video! Have a rockin week ahead ✌️🎸

[@chestiute]

Just discovered the channel and it warranted an instant like and sub. Everything in this video is pure gold... thank you so much for what you're doing!

[@rustysguitar1]

Thank you Tudor! Glad that you are on board. Happy jamming buddy 👍

[@shadowminister4090]

Rusty, I haven't finished watching this video and I need to comment. I'm 63 and have been playing chords for 55 years. Thankyou. I can now see a possibility of breaking out of a chord only mentality. I think I might rewatch this video...a few times. 😊

[@rustysguitar1]

Well, I appreciate the comment! yeah man it’s time for you to break out! Let’s keep working on this stuff together! Thanks so much for watching my video👍

[@jimideez9829]

Hey Rust! That was a light bulb moment for me. They can't stop me now...Thanx a Bunch...Jimi.

[@rustysguitar1]

Right on Jimi! That’s exciting! You’re moving forward now! Have a great Sunday🙏

[@honestjohns9491]

Hey rusty love your channel your a sublime player and great teacher thanks for your time and effort

[@rustysguitar1]

You’re very welcome! Thank you for checking out my lessons! Keep rockin buddy👍

[@greywolf9292]

What a marvellous lesson 👍 so much fun to watch and learn, opening up the fretboard rather than just banging out scales repetitively. I wish I'd had a teacher like you over 50yrs ago, I'd be a so much better player now. Thank you!!

[@rustysguitar1]

You are right, we all needed these lessons early on! Glad you stopped by bro 😎 thanks and have a great weekend✌️

Brilliant! Like everyone else thank you so much. There is so much in just one lesson, AND it’s fun!

[@rustysguitar1]

You’re welcome! Fun! I love to hear that! Thanks Nick 👌

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Wow, this is what I've been looking for to learn the fretboard. I've always been sad that there are no black keys on my ukulele. So I did the next best thing. I took postit notes on my piano, and now I have strings on my piano. That really helped me figure out how to practice.

[@rustysguitar1]

Cool Lawrence! I’m glad you got some thing from the video! Have a great weekend buddy👍
