Steve Stine Guitar Lessons I used to use the piano to make music I wouldn’t say I know “HOW” to play piano but I use it to make noice sounds, that’s what I’m trying. To learn on guitar and I’m trying to picture the top of the low e string all the way to the high e string to the bottom as like 1 string kinda like a piano

[@waltermaravilla3011]

Thank you steve

Hey Steve! what effects are you using?

[@royguidry1311]

That is how you give a guitar lesson. You explain, show, review and not repeat yourself 400 times and show us 30different camera angles. We can all rewind and rewatch. Well done sir.

Thanks Roy.

I’m Definitely going to do that

[@firstphoton655]

Newbie here. So if i start with e minor on the 12th fret . Then go to D on the tenth fret. How do i know how to connect. Is this by ear or do i have to know the top note must match the bottom note? Sorry for the dumb question

[@nickevans417]

After 35 years, I am finally breaking out of 'the box'! Thanks, Steve, you are a good teacher. I'm quite excited about where my soloing could go now.

[@theryno85]

Another tool that has helped me tremendously, get a clip-on tuner and leave it on while you play. Watch it, see the note names, see how your fingering affects intonation and changes the notes ever so slightly. Use the tuner to dial in your bends and seeing note names as you play can really ingrain the theory into your head without even trying!

[@aprildamski7372]

That's a good idea! I'm gonna try that!

[@khoiyetuazon6856]

Is this also the application if for example im jamming in the key of Gminor pentatonic backing track , do i need to chase the notes from each chord OR should i only emphasize the G notes?

I stopped playing guitar about 2 decades ago. Im a self learner back then and I hit this wall. I couldn't make a solo, i dont know the theory, no music teacher to ask to, no you tube yet for quick reference, so I guess I just gave up. after 20 years, yesterday I bought an acoustic guitar, I guess my love for playin' is burried within my DNA. after playin' for a while (resting my fingers cause it hurts) I run accross your channel, and wow! I think I hit my "aha!" moment... now Im thinkin' to get an electric guitar again. thank you man!

What is amazing about Steve Stine is that he has the ability to communicate these patterns (or ruts) that we get stuck in, and how to actually move forward or take what we learned and transfer it to something new or to a new level.

[@brendanjames8818]

Only took me 10 years to finally find a video that actually helps with fret knowledge, I lost my drive during highschool to continue learning because i was self taught coming back now 6 years later is refreshing

Been playin for 14 years. Put my guitar down while running through some scales to write this comment. Great job. You rock. It's almost impossible to find someone to explain this the way you did. Thanks.

[@mcaj81]

I have been playing guitar for 30+ years but always pretty much just rhythm. Now I am probably not your average viewer because we play and sing bluegrass gospel. I have never been able to pick a "break" or even a "turnaround", as we call it in bluegrass, no matter how many good pickers I watched or tried to learn from. Your videos are an actual Godsend because I have learned and understood more about my fret board in the last few weeks since finding your lessons on here than I did in all of those years. A big part of that for me is that it is very evident you love to teach and know how to teach. Thank you.

[@georeed62]

[@joecrackin3783]

Picked up a guitar a few weeks ago, and started playing again. First time since high school. I have been watching your videos on scale and theory, love them. Was trying to learn some blues licks last night and it all just clicked as to how to connect the positions. Still a work in progress, but I was able to meander across the fretboard for a solid 10 minutes. Really appreciate all that you do on here. Wish youtube was around when I was in highschool. Probably wouldnt have had all the frustration that caused me to give it up.

[@moirangthemsanahal6695]

Hey steve, i hope you too probably know tge feeling of satisfaction, happiness you get when u r self taught guy & something u hve been sowing for comes up from nowhere. Thats my case with ur videos. Helped me a lott lottt in improving my skills & missing knowledge. Thanks a lot to you mate.

[@MarkR973]

Steve.. I discovered today while studying c scale that when on a note anywhere on the fretboard that you can play the corresponding chord by applying the chord shape of the string name that note sits on at that spot.. you bar on that fret. For example.. at the 7th position.. the notes are B,E,A,D,F#,B... which sit on the E,A,D,G,B,E strings.. so.. if I wanna play a B chord at the 7th fret I simply put my bar there and apply the E chord form.. to play the E chord at the 7th fret I bar there and play the A chord form.. and so on... duh.. so easy now to play chords for the notes on the fretboard.. which basically serve as the root note of the chord.. woohoo!!! Learning.. sorry for the long comment I hope others can benefit from it.. hey everyone.. try it.. right the. Let’s down for each string then try what I said .. another example, 5th position/fret, A note sits on the E string.. so, bar the 5th position and play the E chord shape and u get the a chord, the D note sits on the A string at the 5th position so play the A chord form and you get a d chord musically.. ha! Damn! Enjoy all!!

I have searched KZbin and searched teachers in order to learn, and Steve is the one. It is a lot of work and I am in the meandering phase, but it is paying off! I have watched chord theory and caged system and had to stop. I need to stay focused on penta for now. I am stoked knowing those lessons are available when I am ready!

[@cthehuston2486]

I’m fairly new… I’ve been taking lessons for a couple of months and I’ve been beating up the Pentatonic scales on a regular basis. My instructor took note of this, and began teaching me the same thing you’ve shown here. Your explanation kinda hit home a little more, and helped me to think of ways to improve what I’m doing. Everyone online seems to boast of some sort of “magical scale/ guitar technique” which has eluded guitar teaching through the ages, and dispels learning scales. The more I spend practicing and diving into scales - it really boils down to the instructor and desire of the student. I’m 56, retired and have a long life of experiences. Perhaps my discipline is different from my younger peers, maybe it’s the time I can afford to learn and practice. Regardless, the basics you stressed in learning is noteworthy in comparison to the other online tutorials. This is the second of your videos I’ve had bounce across my feed, and both videos hit home and opened my eyes after being 1 on 1 in a classroom. That’s the hallmark of an excellent instructor. Thank you for sharing your gift.

Can’t POSSIBLY express to you how well timed this video was. Was literally just looking through books and watching videos on how to extend my soloing. This was exactly what I needed. Cheers man

[@steveneagan3953]

The mode you're calling the "new first mode" IS already the 5th mode of the minor pentatonic scale. It's the tower mode. Well that's what I've heard it called anyways. There are only 5 petatonic modes. Once you learn those 5 modes you can go between boxes easily and open the fretboard. You could show how the G major pentatonic scale is the same as the E minor pentatonic scale. You use the same modes you just go from G to G instead of E to E. All keys have a built in major key to a minor key. Like A minor is C major. D minor is F major and so on. Idk what ppl other know. But that's what I was taught.

[@andreaslingue1918]

[@arajoaina]

I had a great teacher we nick named Joe Bad. The first time I learned the pentatonic scale; I learned it on all twelve frets. After that the same pattern repeats itself. Off course there are notes in the scale you miss along the way but all you have to do is learn those notes later on the frets that you pass bye while running up or down the necks. In hind site I was lucky to have such a good teacher who from the start taught me to visualize and run up and down the fret board. Best thing to do is to learn to start at 1st fret for all seven notes a-g and run through until the same shape starts again.

[@textsmsmaster9884]

Howdy Steve .. Your emphasis on beginning slow and moving up through to faster tempos using a metronome when one "meanders" has been "so going back to re-learn or re-visit" years of not just approaching my solo processes but also moving between standard "root in the bass" box shape chords to actually seeing their alternate shapes to switch with ease into their inversions "with 3rd, 5th, etc in the bass" .. your meandering technique and the metronome .. PRICELESS!!!

@@stinemusiclessons ..Hey,thanks!

[@surethebest]

Best explanation for this issue ever!!!

[@stinemusiclessons]

Awesome to hear!

[@williammorgan534]

I’ve been searching thru KZbin for weeks trying to find a real instructor. After a dozen or so mishaps I came across this vid and knew my search was over. Great lesson really explained simply and well. I’m looking forward to getting back into playing again now that I’ve found some real guidance. Great job.

Just wanted drop a comment here saying this was like a breakthrough from the plateau i’ve had with the pentatonic scale for YEARS. I’ve been familiarizing myself with all the shapes since watching this vid and my soloing already sounds much better

[@stephenmiller1085]

Your one of my favorite guitar teachers to watch but I wish you lived close to Boston because I’m adhd and I have trouble catching on with certain things. Really wish I could have a teacher like you but be able to sit there with you and have you slow it down and explain a little more and play slower but I have learned a lot from watching you and think you are exactly where I wanna be with my playing there’s just so much to the guitar I’ve been playing 6 yrs and just feel overwhelmed cause I wanna play the correct way but have trouble taking on the info that is required to play the guitar correctly and knowing everything that is needed to be known. But thank you for all you have taught me

[@Groosome128]

So I guess the moving between the positions part basically means sliding or otherwise playing 3 notes on the string you're moving on... or even just picking when to move and play any of the notes in that next position. I need to spend some time on this :/

[@YOUDIRTYlilLIaR]

Thank you for posting this. It is so much easier for me to learn by hearing the explanation and watching it demonstrated than it is just reading it out of a book.

[@thKish12]

Hi I enjoyed and learn a lot here online from you and basically usiing acoustic guitar but start thinking now whether I should buy an electric as it is difficult to bend strings and produce sounds which are difficult to produce in acoustic. I thought you are on live tonight as I got facebook message.

[@colbyowen2009]

Just stumbled onto your vids. I'm a self taught noodler who has been stuck in perpetual low-intermediate mode. You have been so helpful. I love your teaching style. Thank you.

Great stuff, really helped. Thanks.

[@konradbott350]

As a trained pianist who is grabbing a guitar now and then i find it so cool that i came up with the idea of "meandering" as you called it myself as a way of memorizing the scales all across the board (also with all modes). Your video made me feel good because it`s like a "good idea!" to me from someone who is 100times better 😃 Thank you! ☺

[@simon-di7xt]

This guy should be a famous musician🙂

[@danilobatista1329]

and He is! Millions of us know him and follow is videos and courses. But I know... you meant Steve should be doing world tours in one of the greatest rock or Metal bands, yeah would love to go to his show! keep it rockin Leo

[@Thebfgman]

Thanks Steve! from London England. I've Literally just had my 'Aha!' moment. From watching this lesson I can now actually jam with an Em blues backing track and move all over the fretboard! with ease. Big thanks bro! I can't believe how great your lesson was.

[@stinemusiclessons]

That's awesome, Giuseppe!

What you just taught in this video is priceless. Ive heard similar things all these years but never explained as well and as simple. Thank you

Fun fact: if you search for "nicest human in the world" his photo shows up in the results.

[@invadr3z482]

Man i cant stop thanking you...... Dude u r the best guitarists i have take lessones from❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@HighVybeTribe]

How do these guitar players get their action so low , and still playable ???? All the guitars I've seen over the years at Guitar stores always have super high action . Even the expensive guitars are rarely setup properly. What gives ?? Thanks !!

[@vonfinkel7312]

Mark Juszko setup by a professional luthier I believe. The guitar he has is an Ibanez JEM7D, theyre around 950-1100 eur used. My prs se custom 22 is suuuper low aswell and its 450-650 used. If you find a guitar that you like you can always get it setup as you’d like it to be.

[@akshadbawa9778]

its the combination of action and string gauge , electric guitars have both light gauge and low action , thats why playing rock on acoustic is like committing a robbery without weapon
