These patterns are so run-friendly it’s amazing, once the map is in your head you can literally dance across the fretboard. Thanks Brian!

[@HashBrown99Gaming]

You literally put every other guitar tutor ever to shame! You explain things so clearly it's unbelievable. I feel like I've been blind this whole time and have 20/20 vision after seeing these videos. You're absolutely incredible man.

[@zombieguitar]

Thanks for the words man. Glad you are diggin the vids 😎

[@garrettjohnson97]

Anytime I watch a Brian Kelly video it’s like some neurological path connect to another, he’s the ultimate teacher, plus you make it so easy to understand!!! I feel like I’m always getting confused by some videos but every single one of your videos is just so easy to digest. You truly are a great teacher and thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@zombieguitar]

Thanks Garrett! I'm just now seeing this comment 4 months later!!

[@coastalbreeze7408]

Thanks for not charging me like all the other online instructors try to. I'm tight on money so I really do appreciate it man

[@kennydunk]

He's the only one showing us these secrets. I have watched tons of videos and these make me laugh because it's like wow. Now it makes all those videos look stupid or make sense. I'm going to jam to wasted years by maiden because damn I wasted years lol. Brian Kelleys videos really have really shown me a lot in very few moments.

[@keanuuuu]

A lot of us can relate to this, others show similar stuff but not how to join the dots or understand it properly. Brian is a great teacher.

[@Will-sh8kl]

I've literally watched hundreds of videos on these concepts and theory and this teacher has provided the best, easiest explanations of any. Thank you dude!

[@zombieguitar]

Hey you're welcome! Thanks for following!

Years of playing the guitar and thanks to these lessons I am beginning to really understand how scales works. Saludos!

[@dustyschwartz1576]

Your video on circle of 5ths opened my world that seemed locked for so long. And now you keep doing it. I watch a lot but you are the teacher that works best for me at this point in my journey and I Thank You.

[@rayberczik7251]

Whoa!! A light just went off in my head, I've got it now!! I been trying to figure this out for a while. Nobody told me that major and minor use same "scale shaps" it's just where you start on the root note. I've been strumming guitar for over 30 years and decided I want to learn a little lead and after this I can!!!! Brian your the best teacher you break things down so well and explain every aspect so I can digest it. Thank you!!!!

[@jazzyhalf]

This is the most insightful and informative lesson I have seen. I was never able see how to connect the whole fret board in terms of the major scale till now. Only under stood the pentatonic because memorizing the 5 shapes. Now you just solved the major scale mystery for me. Thanks so much! Keep up the great lessons!

[@TropicalReflections]

Aaaannnnnnnnd....this is why I'm a Full Access Member of Zombie Guitar. So.Much. Goodness!! Thanks Brian.

[@zombieguitar]

Hey much appreciated!!

[@sake_jabetta]

Really concise breakdown of this stuff. I’ve seen other teachers make it more confusing than it needs to be. Breaking it into three patterns rather than a different shape for each note in the scale is so helpful. Thanks for sharing!

[@conpappas1066]

Thanx for putting these diagrams on and playing them with the chords. They help a lot and make perfect sense. And the 3 note per string is easier to memorize then the old Pattens. Great work.

[@lhmnsbak]

Brian!!! Thanks so much for your lessons! I’ve attempted to learn more about the guitar and became frustrated. I’d bought a new guitar thinking it would help. Didn’t do a damn thing for me. Learned the fretboard. Learned more chords than I already knew. Started learning pentatonics, realized I was in over my head. Tried learning music theory. I was lost. I think you get the picture. I ended up letting my new guitar just sit there and eventually quit altogether. Pouring through KZbin videos I happened to come across some of your lessons. Listened to a few and I was through the roof happy. Your videos are ideal. Picked my guitar and followed every word you said. In the last two days I’ve learned more about my playing and things make sense now. Thanks so much for your wonderful lessons. They have truly been a blessing. I also want to thank you for not showing everyone how fast you are on the guitar. No more guitar jamz for me. It pissss me off. Nuff said! Thanks again

[@zombieguitar]

Glad to hear that these vids are helping for ya Tom. Thanks for checking them out! 😁

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

I strongly suggest players to take this fretboard graph, and physically write in all of the notes in C Major. Then divide them up into all 7 positions and fill the graph with just the one position. Instead of writing just a dot, write the name of the note in each spot. Do that and you have a very solid foundation for all music theory. Great lesson as always Brian. ^-^

[@baconsledge]

Brian, thanks so much for making clear that which has been unclear for so long. You do have a gift for explaining music theory so it really all fits together.

[@Echo4Mafia]

This is it! The lightbulb moment! The one peice of the puzzle that's been alluding me all this time! Thank you! Thank you! A THOUSAND TIMES THANK YOU!

[@toddrenshaw24]

Another knock out video. These are perfect for the beginner/ intermediate. Not so much for someone brand new to guitar because it's too much. However, with practice and repeated watching and learning these little pieces come together one by one. It's really amazing. Good work. Thank you

[@zombieguitar]

Great video. This is the best video I have found for understanding how to play across the entire fret board for Major and Minor keys. I like the video so much I decided to buy your book. The book is a great reference book. Love it. Thanks for the great work.

[@chriswiedeman2956]

After suffering through several explanations of the CAGED system by other instructors, this actually makes sense to me. Really useful!! Thanks!

[@zombieguitar]

Keep in mind, this isn't what the CAGED system is about. This lesson here is about the key-scale (layer 1)...the CAGED system is about chords (layer 2). It is very important to make this distinction 😀

T H A N K Y O U . I have SEEN something like this (keyword is seen) and was SO confused. No one explained it so that I could understand. AND NOW FINALLY YOU SHOWED ME. The fact that you showed that its three different patterns made it make so much more sense to me. You sir are now my favorite guitar teacher out there.

[@zombieguitar]

Thanks for the word. I'm glad to hear the vid was helpful 😀

[@garychen483]

I learned a whole lot from you and got lots of questions answered by your explaining!! My mind just keeps getting clicked. Best guitar teacher I’ve see. Truly amazing!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍！！！！！

[@azbababooey]

First video I found of yours on KZbin, and probably one of the most beneficial to my understanding of the guitar. I always had to look at scales in tablature because I never understood where to begin the scale on those diagrams...I’m self taught by the way. When you look at those diagrams it looks like every note on the fret board practically has a dot on it, but understanding where and how to start the scale suddenly puts everything in the sharp focus.

[@zombieguitar]

That's awesome man. Glad this vid was able to help!

[@DWeirich76]

I think this should be the go to lesson for the diatonic scale. No one else is teaching the 3 pattern approach.

[@philnel7516]

Thanks Brian, you make it so easy to understand!

[@Paulskirocks]

When I was learning back as a teen in the early 80s, I discovered a similar method. Mine uses pentatonic box one at then 5th, 10th, and 12th (or at the open sting position). Then, I learned what the "missing" notes were at each position. There are overlaps in the 10th and 12th fret positions. but it is so easy to visualize later. Also, I had never heard of any 3 note per string system, but that was what I discovered to smoothly get from the 5th fret to the 10th fret. A few years later, I discovered modes, so I labeled the three positions the Aeolian Box, Dorian Box, and Phrygian Box. It was an easy way to see the three relative major/minor modes. Then 20 years later I discovered the 3 note per string, CAGED, 7 position, and the 4 other pentatonic. All thanks to the internet, because I am completely self taught.

[@coolvjh]

Thank you for the lesson. In essence, once you see that the scale patterns contain overlapping sections it becomes much easier to play over the fret board by just learning the distinct patterns. Awesome.

[@hideentity1518]

Every string have just one note each to fret 12 Remember the position of the note at any string will make easy steps to follow patterns

[@liranMashina]

tnx Bryan , i really recommended to be a member of your site ,you really lift me up on playing and understanding the fret board ,keep the gr8 job.

[@mrlarrybobjr]

I learn seven positions three notes per string five positions with variations of notes per strings, I never once thought to combine them. This is priceless I feel like such a doofus.

[@sammarchetti2484]

Thanks for all that great information, And I had no trouble with the orientation of your fretboard.

[@Dad-Gad]

Such a fantastic teacher , and so great at simplifying it for donuts like me 👍

[@Alientcp]

What people told you about the upside down diagrams is that they are indeed upside down. He probably has the same problem as me, i cant followin real time because, as you shown, you have to flip your guitar to match the diagram, where what we need to read in real time is a mirror image of the fretboard, where the low E string is at the top left. For instance @5:51, we are trying to find C on the 6th string, your video shows you have to search on the top part of the guitar, on the 8th fret, but on the diagram we are looking down. Dont flip the guitar 180 vertical to match the diagram, instead put the diagram as if you were facing away from the camera, top to bottom EADGBE. I know thats the convention, but probably is why many players to be quit, we can only chain 1-3 notes in real time because we have to flip the damm thing in our head first. Still, good video, just have to pause a shit lod of times to follow.

[@otmanblues4138]

Great Lesson, Brain! I finally got it. This makes much more sense. Will need to practice this a couple of times to make it sink in. Although your demos of how the patterns work are useful. It would be good if you could provide a more musical example of how they are applied in a solo or a song. This would give me some direction on how to apply this lesson further. Thank you 🙏👍👍👍🦘

[@zombieguitar]

Glad you liked the vid 😁. I have a bunch of videos where I give demos of playing within the diatonic key-scale. Here's 2 of them right here: "Minor lick" examples: kzbin.info/www/bejne/apqcm5hpYtuDbLc "Major lick" examples: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4iqe2SipMish6M

great lesson Brian thank you. I now fully understand the relationship between scales and keys and how to solo. Everybody tells you to learn scales but not what to do with them. i can also see the relationship between the modes now and the scales and the sound.

Be careful...this lesson has NOTHING to do with "modes". This is a common misunderstanding where people confuse "scale patterns" with modes!

[@michaelwhalen7991]

Another clear and concise lesson, its all getting clearer with practice and your lessons ! Saw a cool little video from an Ausie bass player explaining how to find the groupings of notes of any scale. Major or minor scale off of low E and A string. How after finding the root of a major scale on low E string, the MAJOR notes of the scale are clustered together, root on low e, then up on A string opposite root is the 4th and two frets up is the 5th of the scale. Then from the root on E, down 4 frets is the same pattern locating the MINOR, as well as the diminished note. It was called"Secret fingerboard pattern that'll change everything (And its easy)" . It was cool and worked for major and minor scales.... Well I got rambling on but you might want to check it out.. And thanks again for an awesome lesson ! Mike from Boston

[@parmachine470]

Yes, adding the 4 and the 7 makes a 4 note cluster around the roots and if you account for the cliff between the 2 and 3 string and the e strings being the same adds, this adds nicely to the pentatonic boxes. Nicely, the root is always in the southwest corner of the cluster.

[@hideentity1518]

Year's I was playing scales without know someone stick name to them, and that was way before any video could come to my way back at 90s, it was just there when you practice and play, you find things that make any sense. And for me the fun part... I started to play again now, and find those Penta scales was used at other side on earth.

G shapes CAGED + C shaped CAGED + E string 3 NPS = full fretboard use. Pretty simple honestly and it’s nice to see it boil down to so few shapes. The big trouble is location chord tones throughout the fretboard to play with the changes, that’s a hard thing to master

[@zombieguitar]

Hey thanks for checking out the vid! I have to point something out to you though.... This lesson here is NOT about the CAGED system at all. This lesson is about visualizing the diatonic scale patterns across the neck (using the 3 patterns approach). The CAGED system is strictly about chords, not about "scale patterns". The CAGED system is something that you would use to help you with targeting chord tones! I'd recommend checking out these 2 lessons here if you are interested in applications of CAGED: 1.) www.zombieguitar.com/chord-tone-soloing-is-easy-3-reasons-why/ 2.) www.zombieguitar.com/caged-explained-in-10-minutes-with-3-direct-applications/ Check those out, and let me know what you think 😁
