As usual, this is another extremely helpful video. Thanks! In the future would you consider making a similar video on the natural minor scale as it relates to the 5 positions of the caged system?

[@Samjamguitar]

Absolutely! Although in the meantime if you shift your perspective on the major scale and treat the 6th degree as the root note then you will automatically have the 5 positions of the natural minor scale!

[@patbunce1120]

And that’s why you’re my go-to guitar guru. I’ll definitely give that a shot. Thanks!

I literally teach guitar and your videos blow my mind every time. Bravo man, these videos are helping even a seasoned guitarist like myself connect some dots. Between the visuals and thorough (but somehow also concise) explanations, these videos are an amazing resource for guitarists everywhere. Thanks for all the work you put into these videos!

To me, learning the fretboard using numbers instead of notes makes it SO much easier. You can relate it to the piano when making chords all over the fretboard.

[@Samjamguitar]

Intervals are king!!

[@deltafour1212]

@@Samjamguitar It's the only way to learn guitar, in my opinion

[@Phaseish]

So then since I come from Piano and theory, these intervals, taht guitarist call "closed positions" are actually modes? do you see this? or am I crazy? See I started studying scales with 3nps Modes and that's very straight forward, minus that the scale is extended with a 1, 2, 3, 4, in the octave. but guitarsits seem to call these positions but when i play them, on the different root notes I am hearing the modes this is very confusing for someone who learns guitar and knows theory, and with the guitar tuning going to a major third. and extending notes of a scale. getting the full tonality like you would on another instrument, becomes challenging with these shapes to remember at first. and heres another fun thing i have realized with these positions. The high E and B string shapes are the same as the 3nps Modes. So if we were in G major . A would be dorian in 3 nps, and B Closed position shape 3 , would technically be Phrygian right because of the minor 2nd. if you play the same pattern but then once you get to the G string, and you played Dorian 3nps shape , you can merge the two scales together. which makes sense becaues its the previious mode. However there are only 5 positions right , so that means two mode tonalitys are skipped also lol notice how there is no shape that actually starts with G ? lol lol these are the major scale positions, and none of them start on the root note, thats fucking hilarious. see the First position is locrian . So you can do the same thing you can even see the G, B, D, 3 nps, embedded in the Locrian scale. in the "first poistion" picture diagram. WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY IS THERE TOO MANY FUCKING WAYS TO SKIN A CAT ON THIS INSTRUMENT, AND THAT'S WHY HARDLY EVERYONE LEARNS THEORY ON IT

[@Phaseish]

I see how Starting with the root note.. changes the tonality but that's now the shape is so that's confusing. I have inheritly done t hat but that's not how it's shown i guess.

[@tomm5023]

@@Phaseish you got it right. It’s a complex instrument 😂. I learned to not rely on shapes but intervals. Shapes will make you go nuts. Too many of them for each triad or chord type. The 3nps in 7 positions makes a lot more sense vs CAGED. I Never got it going with CAGED, I doywant to think of a chord while actually playing another…Play your D in an E shape…horrible

To think how much time I have spent practicing major scales, going up and down, feeling nothing, merely practicing finger technique. I didnt know what Im doing, I didnt enjoy it, only tought somehow it makes me a better guitarist. Now, doing what you suggested, found a backing track and tried to improvise. And I did. And Im about to have tears in my eyes. This is the moment where having the guitar in my hand doesnt make me feel like a mechanic, but a musician. Because I didnt play someone elses solo, having no idea why it sounds good, but my own notes, about to have an understanding why scales are a thing. Samjamguitar, with all my heart, thank you.

[@terrywilhite]

I've been playing keyboard/piano for 51 years, and I've never had use for these scales. Honestly, I hadn't heard of them until delving into guitar. I'm still not sure why they're even a thing when, if you have a major scale (show me the keyboard, which Sam did), you're off to the races and can figure out anything else.

Ok. I get it. This follows the whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half thing I learned a long time ago in band class, but it's showing how that looks on a guitar. Honestly, I don't know why I haven't made that connection until just now. I have a chart that shows all the notes on the guitar neck that I've had for over 25 years that I got out to help me with this video, and it's finally making sense to me after all these years. I'm sitting here looking at it, and I can see whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half regardless of what root note I pick. I am assuming that it would be the same regardless of which scale I play, assuming that I know the note intervals for that scale (major, minor, pentatonic, etc.)?

amazing video, actually, the best one I've ever seen for learning a scale or the major scale, now I can combine chords with the major or play the major pentatonic and "borrow notes" from the major in my pentatonic which gives me a lot of variance, can we get this same video for the minor scale?

[@Samjamguitar]

Glad it helped! And yes I can make a video covering the 5 positions of the natural minor! In the meantime however... the 5 positions of the major scale are in fact the 5 positions of the minor scale, all you have to do is treat the 6th interval as your Root note.

This is great thanks, although I know the major scale in 5 positions still very informative.

By any chance you might do the minor scale in five positions? Thanks again

[@Samjamguitar]

I haven't yet done the natural minor in 5 positions... however, the major scale is the natural minor scale if you treat the 6th degree as the root...so technically, you already know them! You just have to shift your perspective!!

[@karlwhitehouse3052]

@@Samjamguitar oh yes the relative minor . Thanks

[@jonathonwearn1098]

Ok, I realize this is all related. And there is a lot packed in this short video. But after 30 years of looking at the fretboard, from all different viewpoints, I'm thinking it's best to just learn one pattern first. And just shift your root note to find different modes. This is just to get used to a few modes. Major, dorian, minor, and mixolydian for rock and blues. But really one pattern covers so much. You move mostly vertically, but go diagonally to keep the pattern this same. Again, just as a starting point. But to me, that's been the easiest path. The pattern? It's just 124, 124, 134, 134, 135, 135, 135. Shift up one for the B string. You need a 7-string guitar to play (visualize) the full pattern, but obviously just go as far as you can w/ six. The trick is knowing where you are in the pattern. Once you find two or three notes, the rest of the pattern flows very easy. Learning the differences between 2, and then 3 or 4 modes will teach you which notes you can change to switch between them. The 3rd, 6th and 7th for those modes I listed above. But there are many ways and things to learn. Good luck everyone! 🙂

[@vinvin1909]

Nice. Cheers.

[@Samjamguitar]

Thanks!

[@northcountryfisher2121]

Do the positions stay in the same place as you've shown up the fretboard? Or do you start the first position after picking a different key, say A on fifth fret or B on seventh. Great content by the way.

[@Samjamguitar]

Exactly as you described! The patterns move relative to the root position👌 like most chords/scales on Guitar!

[@koolboyelton]

Just wondering, when you teach the positions you then say to practice over a backing track in G major, does this whole scale just cover songs in G major? Or all major songs? Like can i play the scale over for example a backing track in D or A major?

[@Samjamguitar]

All scales on guitar can be moved up or down the fretboard to accommodate different keys! The example in this video is in G because I started position 1 on the 3rd fret of the E string (G note). To Play in the key of A you would simply move position 1 up to fret 5 (A). From here all the remaining positions connect to position 1 in the same way. So yes you can use all 5 positions in every key!

[@koolboyelton]

@@Samjamguitar​​⁠thanks for the answer! but sorry i dont really get it. What do you mean by position one? And i dont really understand how the other ones can connect from there to fit in the chosen note? Like, you said to just move position one from G to A, and then i can play the scale in A, but i dont understand how that works and looks yk?

hey there, sorry for the silly question but I'm a newbie and I have just started learning theory and there's just so much going on. I was wondering if these positions you provided in the video could be shifted to any key or just the notes in the key of G? (since you showed the G Major scale). Again sorry for asking such a question but I'm really confused at the moment :(

[@Samjamguitar]

No probs! Any scale you learn on Guitar is shiftable to other keys. Simply move position 1 until the first note matches the key... for example A on the 5th fret of the E string. From here all the remaining positions connect to position 1 in the same way!

[@graciee1156]

May seem like a dumb question but I’m still learning and a bit lost, how do I know what key signature one of these positions is in? And if it’s by what note you treat as the root note, how do I do that?

[@Samjamguitar]

Hi Grace! There is no such thing as a dumb question! The key is determined by the root note. For example; if you played position 1 of the major scale starting on the 5th fret of the Low E string, this would be an A note and therefore would place you in the key of A. From here all the other positions would join together with this position as shown in the video. You could start on the 7th fret of the Low E string (B note) and you would be in the key of B etc. All scales on the guitar work like this and are shiftable around the fretboard to enable you to play in different keys. If the main problem you are having is actually knowing the notes of the fretboard then I would highly recommend watching this video first kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqGwaIiXiK-SgLM Let me know if this answered your question!

Hey! Thanks for such a great explanation! One more sub to your existing followers! I have 2 quick questions.

My mind is refusing to learn, say, G major scale in terms of positions on the guitar neck. Isn't it better to memorise the notes in the G major scale and simply find them when needed? I know, easy is very subjective, but it is just my view.

Might be a dumb question but why in pattern one is an f sharp included in the high e but not low e. Aren’t they usually the same?

[@markblaze3764]

Sorry I am a complete beginner, please let me ask a stupid question. The five positions shown by you in this video is specifically for the G major scale, right? If the root note changes, I assume the position of the scales also change? Or does it remain constant for all?

[@Samjamguitar]

An example would be to play the 5 positions in the key of A. The A note is located on the 5th fret of the E string. You would now start position 1 of the major scale from here and the remaining positions would connect to position 1 as they did in the above video! Hope that helps...feel free to ask again if you still have questions!

[@markblaze3764]

@@Samjamguitar Thank you for your reply. I think I get the rough idea about it. So, when i try to play the major scale in the A key, do the positions of the note numbers (1~7) change? For example, if the location of A note is the 5th fret of the E string, then that is 1 and then 2,3 and so on will be placed in the same intervals as the G key? Sorry for being very vague with my question.......

Try to visualize the entire G major scale moving up by 2 frets. This will now be the A major scale.

Since i already know the natural minor scale for the aeolian mode i dont need help on the supposely "6th position."

[@Samjamguitar]

Rather than learning different positions for each mode, I prefer to use the parallel method for modes (adjusting intervals within the 5 positions of the major scale) this of course means that if you learn the 5 positions of the major scale, you have also just learnt all 5 positions of every major scale mode.

@@Samjamguitar I kinda of understand where you coming from. But can you give a quick example to calrify what you mean?

[@Samjamguitar]

Simply memorizing modes as patterns on the fretboard is not the best way... it can be done like this, however if you truly want to understand the intervals in modes, why they work, how to write modal chord progressions and what chords/chord progressions they work over then the parallel approach is better. For example the lydian mode is 1 2 3 #4 5 6 7 so simply raise the 4th degree of the major scale and you have lydian! Learn to adjust the intervals in the major scale and you have chords/modes and everything else you could ever need!

[@Samjamguitar]

Beginner piano tutorials are often taught in the key of C because you only have to focus on the white keys, and this also removes accidentals from the key signature. Guitar has the benefit of being able to shift scale patterns up and down the fretboard to change key, which means that there is no added difficulty playing in one key over another! The only situation I would teach in the key of C would be in a lesson on reading standard notation.
