[@RussC123]

THIS.. In my opinion this is one of those things that can start bridging a player from the weird beginner/intermediate zone to a solid intermediate level player. I’ve been stuck for so long and I eat these type lessons up whenever I see them. Helps me continue to understanding how to sound more musical.

[@longshankdrills8799]

Agreed !

[@BassCommunion]

I respectfully disagree, you can train a monkey to follow boxes, these kind of videos feel like that friend who doesn't know how to play and asks you "hey man show me something simple?" -"sure thing, press here, there and there". This mentality will only get you that far, you need to know what you are currently playing and how it works in order to become something more than a bedrrom guitar player. A little bit of theory is the magic key, plus listening to Alot of music, especially music outside your favourite genres. My 2c My proof? a million guitar players on this site can play a lightning fast sweep picking arpeggio, but man, the vast majority of them unfortunately don't even have a vibrato. I don't wanna talk about improvisation skills and composing... :p

[@RussC123]

@@BassCommunion Hey I totally get what your saying.. The key part of what I said was: “this is ONE of those things that can START bridging a player” .. by no means do I mean this is the end all be all. This is just one “idea” that gets a boring, stuck in a rut beginner working towards being melodic.. and I would sure hope that a player has basics like vibrato, sliding, bends already down before even this basic level of playing.

[@wearesource3243]

I've gotta say, I have been watching so many videos lately and this is by far the best I've come across. I am 44 yrs old and just picked guitar back up after almost 30 years of not playing. Thank you.

[@GuitarMasteryMethod]

Great to hear!

[@AshenExiled]

To even take it up a notch, use the 12th fret as your starting 0 point since that’s where the scale resets in a higher octave and you can use the entire neck.

[@benjaminott6498]

New to using the whole neck here. Do I need to bar the upper neck so I’m not in different octaves? Silly question likely.

[@jzax9959]

@@benjaminott6498 octave just means it's the same note but a higher pitch. So the first string played open (meaning you played the string without pressing it on a fret on the neck of the guitar) is the note E, and if you go through all the frets, it's like this: 1st fret F, 2nd fret F#, 3rd fret G, 4th G#, 5th A, 6th A#, 7th B, 8th C, 9th C#, 10th D, 11th D#, 12th E So you can see, the 12th fret is the same note, but higher pitch. I think a lot of guitars actually have a specific marking on the 12th fret, which is the two dots. This is because it is the "octave". It applies to all strings, not just E.

[@gopilotmusic]

Plain, simple, dead on. It ain't complicated. Aces.

[@takahiro0127]

This idea is soooo good! Using one shape to switch among scales of different keys. That immediately enriches the notes and sound I can easily play without thinking too much. For a long while, I stuck in one position at a time and playing without the mindset of chord progression. This sharing is definitely something that will change my life. How come nobody told me this simple concept during my whole guitar journey like it’s a top secret that most of the players won’t tell.

[@Madness-iwnl]

I was so frustrated because all of my solos sound the same, it’s so hard to enjoy playing because you feel stuck. This definitely opens the door to a more advanced level for us self taught players. Thanks.

[@bryantcochran5065]

Outstanding!! Thanks Eddie for yet another vital lesson on how to open up my playing over the fretboard. Good thing my days are all about playing and practicing now that im retired from the day job.

[@JLil]

I’ve been noodling on the guitar for roughly 20 years, playing songs here and there, and this just broadened my horizons. Thank you so much!

[@bryankethley3129]

As a beginner soloist I really appreciate your lessons. Clear, concise and more importantly, something that I can use almost immediately. Thanks Eddie

[@peterdee4638]

Eddie's lessons have definitely had the most effect on me improving as a guitar player

[@hoisin75]

This system reminds me of Dominic Millers guitar line in the sting track ‘I hung my head’. Really useful

[@MsLibrary]

Aw... you really made me smile, really taught me something I needed in a way that was comprehensible and not exaggerated for ego sake.. I appreciate you so much, thank you from the bottom of my heart. No jest. I love you.

[@brandonanege3292]

Yep, this is it. I ever only need Major and Pentatonic scale for everything. To make it even better, take a single key, say C, learn the CAGE position and Pentatonic scale across each position. That gives you endless possibilities to play across the whole fretboard as you slide, hammeron, bend etc across different positions of the same Pentatonic scale. Once you've mastered this on one key, you can easily apply it on every other key.

[@ArthurShachenko-c6g]

how to be with minor?

[@diskhover]

Extremely helpful, you bullseyed my level, still beginner but know chords and scales pretty good and lifted me higher. perfect instruction and so exciting to learn. So much fun to explore this!

[@civiprepper]

Thats so true. Forget the scales and getting boxed in a specific shape as a priority. Just follow the chords or even the progresiones around the root notes and then giving an intuitive answer lick and it will sound so much more emotional and unified as a musical song. Im not a great player, but bat well above my weight just doing this.

[@troydejong6881]

What a great lesson Eddie! I actually liked what i was playing. That lesson made it all come together for me. Thanks again.

[@spencerboaz2385]

That was my first step out of the rut I've been in for the past 40 years . This is the first of your videos I have watched so I subscribed and clicked the bell . Bless ya .

[@GuitarMasteryMethod]

Appreciate it!

[@a1d3nh0]

You are the best teacher anyone could wish for.

[@hagerfootball]

Been playing guitar since the pandemic hit, started gigging a year after starting and I’ve been gigging a lot over the last year-solo, with 1-2 others, and with a full band. I’ve been stuck as a rhythm guitarist, partially because I haven’t practice soloing enough, but also because I could never demystify improvisation. This is the best concrete advice I’ve ever seen for improv/soloing. Can’t wait to practice this.

[@GuitarMasteryMethod]

Hope it helps spark some ideas Benjamin!

[@g_rr_tt]

learning how each note relates to each other in key really helped me transform into a musician.

[@Beanangel-ti1yf]

Thank you for this lesson. It really makes me understand the Pentatonic scale that every one has been telling me about.

[@kevinroberts1908]

Should have followed you From the start..clear tuition..no string shredding.. thank you Kevin North Wales...

[@PeterLucibelli]

Great video, you simplified parts of melodic soloing. Great teacher

[@georgiestraub4286]

Thanks Eddie for another fantastic explanation on making scales make sense in playing songs. You always help me pick up a guitar and play something.

[@UltimoCactus]

I just had what some would call a "eureka" moment watching your video. It's a game-changer. Thank you!

[@ronaldosvedmanvertulfo7614]

just had the same thing here man ;) friggin awesome !!

[@berndtherrenvolk1951]

Yes, it's a "Eureka" moment for advanced beginners/early intermediate players. It actually helps expand your concept of the fretboard while also building on music theory. It all goes hand-in-hand. Some new "Eureka" moments are especially foundational and/or bridging to advanced concepts. This is a great lesson for that and also for sounding more musical in your solos or connecting runs. And while playing the melody line is fantastic, you can also replace some melody lines with random notes from these boxes, but playing the notes in the exact same rhythms and spots where you would play melody notes. It's a great improvisational tool.

[@ronaldhyde4482]

nice. i here country and rock. i can't seem to get to traditional blues . but this "country blues" works. thx

[@Kallum]

This, together with minor/major pentatonic mixed up and some triads elevates anything you play instantly

[@hanhakan3631]

I am really enjoy what you did thank you and nice to know you mate

[@Rectitude4U]

The is awesome. Try playing the whole chord your transitioning to instead of just the root note. Then mix in triads up the neck. This is so much fun! Thanks!

[@frederickthompson8686]

Another winning Eddy lesson! Thanks!

[@mikemurdoch2891]

I’ve been playing a long time and can play complicated solos that I learned note for note off of records and UT but……. When it comes to improv I feel like a idiot hopefully this will get me going and become the musician I so desperately want to be Thx

[@maxratio]

Eddie, by far, this is one of the best lessons for me in this stage of my guitar journey. As simple as it is, it’s perfect for those of us who are just reaching that point intermediate level, and want to really get more musical in our practice sessions. Thank you so much!

[@DCford-eu4nm]

Love how you teach broman!

[@SK-er3yd]

I'll be practicing this tomorrow

[@kbeasleyconstruction]

Ive picked up my guitar once in the last 6-8 mths due to the fact I get frustrated from doing the same ol noodling patterns I learned years ago. I had a passion to learn but felt overwhelmed by theory and such. I watched this video and now I want to try this and see if I can get motivated again. Great video! Thanks!

[@catdaddy57]

I hear ya ....

[@annunacky4463]

I watched Chris Buck and he does a lot of small slides and moves up and down the neck using them. I lowered my Telly action, oiled the strings up a bit and tried it. It really helps me get around and adds some cool transitions.

[@con3728]

How’s it going?

[@lestalkmorebasss]

It can become interesting to limit noodling to one small area only a few notes and see how many different riffs can come from this small area….. with hammer ons, pull offs, slides, bends, and vibrato a huge variety of riffs can be produced

[@Ashley-jp4nn]

Checking in to remind you to pick up your guitar :p

[@barrelvinewhiskeyandwine]

This just blew my mind

[@johndaugherty4127]

At 10:40 you sound like I Got The Blues by the Stones. Excellent lesson. One begins to see where songs evolved from.

[@annafraley5388]

This was Great.!!✅ Every time I get going I would get stuck after a while then stay away for to long, as in now. Usually about 3 years each time, and this has been going on since the late 60s. Trying to to get going again and This is way easy AND in the blues too which I prefer.

[@killedbycoconuts]

I'm not sure how I missed this lesson. But I'm sure glad I found it. Thx Eddie

[@tnt3991]

Can’t thank you enough..Best Lesson for me

[@jasonupchurch]

Great video !!! Thank you 🙏 I’ve always struggled to “hear” major keys since my usual playing has been across the minor pentatonic scale positions. Lately I’ve been trying to incorporate more major scale work in my playing. This really helped me unlock that door.

[@TheMistakenDream]

Absolutely a must watch for any aspiring guitarist! Or musician for that matter :)

[@fbernacke]

You really do an outstanding job!!!

[@Jake66564]

This is definitely gonna help so many. Thanks for the vid!

[@addiemac2020]

What he plays at beginning is so beautiful, what should I search for if I wanted to listen to that kind of playing? I want it to meditate or go to sleep to. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[@ryancupido1756]

Thanks for sharing this video man, your way of teaching guitar is simple but very insightful and always opening new musical doors , you just have a way of spicing up a person's guitar playing, Thank you sir, watching and learning from South Africa,❤🇿🇦💯✅

[@JetGemezz]

Lovely explanation and not too much of bla bla...highly appreciated!!!!

[@ahchv]

Is there another video that extends these scales higher up the neck???? Love this!!!

[@whitex4652]

Recommendation to listen to: Michael Rother - Flammende Herzen. It's like coming from this lesson and driving it over the top.

[@michaelj.noctor5190]

What a wonderful lesson from a wonderful teacher 👏 🥰

[@ronaldosvedmanvertulfo7614]

thanks to the lesson eddie!! now i got something to noddle on for a while..GREAT LESSON!!

[@rynoe3253]

This was a perfectly timed lesson for me. When you are doing this are you trying to keep a sense of rhythm and be aware of changing the chord after a bar of E, bar of A, bar of B for example?

[@OnwardAndEdward]

You can add some rhythm to it, for sure! For this lesson I was more or less free-forming the timing to just focus on the tonality of the notes!

[@8478als]

As always, your lessons are great Eddie!! Thanks for sharing your tips and knowledge with us!!!😊

[@patfinnegan467]

Very good discussion and demo of how to find and play major pentatonic scales and flow between chords in the progression. Thank you!

[@FrancisRoy]

Man you are so inspiring. Love your videos ! Thanks

[@athena_the_hun1097]

That intro solo was so pretty

[@MarkandSandieInMotion]

Great vid. I’m a beginner and practicing all 5 of the pentatonic boxes. This will help once I have them memorized:) btw, that Gibson sounds sweet.

[@jacobhartley6670]

I've been playing for about 12 years, and honestly feel and have been told that I am advanced. Theory, sight reading, classical, percussive HOWEVER I had tried for hours and hours across months, I understood the concept of playing over the chord but as far as playing it, it just sounded like I was running through the scale. Bro you broke this down like I haven't heard before and I am pumped after work to practice this concept. And tbh will probably be up all night lol You da man, subscribed! Also it's cool to see the comments and see someone providing so much value to so many people!

[@jacobhartley6670]

That's not supposed to sound like bragging, I meant it like you filled a huge gap in my playing !

[@perryabernathy3476]

Thank you so much. You help me playing lead. I know the number system and have been playing rhythm a long time. You explain things so it easy to follow along. When me and my buddies are jamming I feel confident when my time comes to take the horse by the rains. 14:01

[@TLMuse]

You've sort of invented a simplified version of modal improvisation. The major pentatonic scale has all of the notes that are common to all of the major-chord-based modes (similarly, the minor pentatonic has all of the notes that are common to the minor chord modes). So by using the major pentatonic for each of the I/IV/V chords, you are doing a simplified version of soloing with the Ionian, Lydian, and Mixolydian modes. If you want to learn what "spice notes" work especially well with those chords, you could learn how those three modes relate to their pentatonics. -Tom
