How to Connect Arpeggios Across the Fretboard

[@zombieguitar]

If you like this lesson, definitely check out www.zombieguitar.com/ It is a one of a kind site dedicated to teaching guitarists to understand the fretboard inside and out!!

Brian you are definitely a mind reader please engage us in more to help us make sense of this that others enjoy adding to our confusion

[@pKova55]

Since I really like your general approach, which is genuine and original. The following needs to be understood as a "constructive suggestion". ⇒ The light-source is 'not' optimal. To improve, put TWO Light-sources: One on the right and one on the left side of the Object (Object = Brain Kelly w⁄ Guitar 🤪). Make sure the spot-lights are PLACED almost at the same height as the eyes of the Object (=Brain K.). And most IMPORT now is to place also a diffuser in front of the lights. That way, the Light is spread evenly allover the Object. Overexpose or outshine on certain Points on the Object-s (Brain K. and/or Guitar) is prevented.

"The answer is not in scales, its not in modes. Its most likely in the underlying chords". -- I wish it hadnt taken me 25 years to learn this lesson. If you are a young guitar player, listen to this advice. It is sooooo important.

[@Petrozini3]

lucky you! I'm 59 this year...I've had lessons for a few years and had been been noodling since I was 15...what was i doing....but hey... I love music...from this moment I'm sounding musical and feel invigorated...Thanks heaps Brian

[@nickofzo]

@@Petrozini3 if you have got joy out of noodling those years, nothing has been wasted.

[@wadesharp11]

I learnt at music school all my 5 scales shapes, modes, then all the arpeggios with each scale. Then practiced it around the cycle of 4ths. Hence allowing me to apply them all together. This was a great way of learning them! We learnt all our chord shapes too which helped a little. So many ways to learn

[@ivandzombak8234]

I'm in the same boat. I'd been playing for 30+ years before I figured this out! In retrospect, it seems obvious, but...

Thanks man. Much appreciated!

[@rrappa65]

The 45 min video was a game changer, don't know why I didn't look for more from you sooner. This is awesome. Showing the different scales for each key, and the notes versus black dots or 1st 3rd and 5th, so helpful - thank you so much. I just hadn't seen it like that yet.

This is the best ever presentation of a concept and uncovering of the arpeggio pathway within the CAGE/scale system.

[@tamershenawy4310]

Brian Kelly 👑 your are the best in guitar understanding 🎸

[@jcomeau535]

I love the idea of learning the shapes of the arpeggios in a pattern, simple but how helpful! I always have a hard time remembering the arpeggios, but now you gave me a path. A HUGE thank you!

[@kevinfairless2197]

Love your content Brian Kelly... You're truly one of the best teachers out there.. thankyou for all your lessons.. you've elevated my guitar playing so much.

[@ThePhoenix222]

As usual Brian, your lessons are first class and your explanations are easily understood. Your previous 45 min lesson on the circle of fifths was “brilliant “ and is must viewing for anyone needing or wanting to understand how valuable an asset it is. Cheers from Oz

[@ianclement6996]

Each time I watch one of your lessons I see something(s) bringing a new insight to what I already know.In other words every time I watch you I improve. It's not just what you cover or just how you deliver it, its how you hang ' the knowledge' together. Thanks Brian.

[@zombieguitar]

Glad to hear it Ian. Thanks for following along!

[@neilrobinson7615]

I'm a scale guy, I definitely need to use arpeggios more. This is a comprehensive guide on how to do it. Thanks Brian.

[@KristopherHesson]

This is an incredibly helpful video. It has complete information without being overwhelming. Super valuable! Thanks!

[@quochungxd7448]

Brian I can't thank you enough. Your videos is very educative. I was giving up on learning guitar then somehow I ended up in your channel. Stuffs is easier to learn and your explanation very logical. I spent a few days learning about pentatonic scale, finding chord and im making some progress. Again I thank you for all your valuable lessons. Respect

[@skimanization]

I'm not a guitarist but just by watching this lesson, I can be a guitarist if I want because Brian has made it so clear and interesting. I don't want to be a master of all instruments but I will always recommend Brian to any guitar aspirant who wants to know about how to navigate the fretboard. I, actually, have learned so much about guitar from this lesson. Brilliant!!!

[@edi_edoardo1988]

This guy is amazing at teaching and honest true guy

[@philjames1019]

Brian, you have the Midas touch with regard to introducing pure genius into all your tutorials. This particlular one resulted in yet another enjoyable stroll through the garden of fretboard theory ..... well done mister!! Stay safe buddy ... look after your lovely family.

[@thoth_amon]

another method for this, i think i seen it in some jazz theory type books, is to learn your notes, then you can see all the inversions and extensions from any shape, for example:, you know where your 1, 3, 5, 7, etc.., are, so you have the 1 shape, root on low string, then you move all the notes up or down, and you move all the other notes up or down, and you get your inversions this way, it's pretty much like caged, only you see it differently, and helps you find extensions easier if you know this instead of just memorizing the shapes without context, if you move your 1 note up to the third, your third up to the 5, and your 5 up to the one you get an inversion, do it again for another inversion, this is also used for finding them drop voicings and other fun stuff

[@zazoomatt]

Heart Felt Thank YOU Brian for the F Major & C Major Layouts. Why it has taken me 1-1/2 yrs to learn the notes on the Fretboard from a 2016 Stroke.

[@zombieguitar]

Ah sorry to hear about that! I hope all is well with your recovery!!

[@thecelt4807]

like everything it usually takes multiple examples of concepts ( caged shapes etc ) given by various people , this is definitely one that has given me another ah ha moment cheers mate much appreciated

[@view5558]

Finally this video helped me understand the guitar completely.

[@showmetheevidence8755]

Ok I'm 45 years old and tried to learn the caged system through books and other players and not once was it explained like you did. I finally understand it and can practice it thanks too you! It's true...if you can't explain something simply so a child could understand then you really don't understand it yourself. You my friend understand...great lesson!

🎸Been avoiding Arpeggios for a long time. Then I saw you had a little course on and I thought I'd check it out. Happy I did!! Now I need to redo some earlier solos. But worth it. Feel a lot more secure in what I'm doing! Thanks Brian...You're the best!!

Much appreciated! 😀

[@mkkaneta]

Thank you for being so patient

[@jameshayes2788]

Great lesson. to be able to play arpeggio looks easy because its only the notes of a chord but to be able to use them all over the neck you need to know alot of theory you need no all you key signatures all you chord progressions and the caged system you need to know where all the notes are on the fret board and you need to know how a chord is constructed it's alot of work I do think that learning all of this will unlock soo much on the fret board a great way to learn to play guitar and to unlock the fundermentals of music theory . Hats off to you Brian this is a fantastic lesson and a very important one .

[@chrisbrodbeck1961]

Brilliant lesson Brian, I will practice this for a couple months before I say anything else... the possibilities are endless

[@greenatom]

Really beautiful things can come out of simple methods. In a club, if a guitarist were playing those arpeggios over the changes, a typical listener might feel that he was listening to a genius, somehow playing just the right notes all over the fretboard. If you know what you are doing, it doesn't have to be difficult to be effective.

@@zombieguitar because the quality of the video didn’t seem high and the first impression was also, forgive the words, a bit “amateurish” and very homemade.

@@zombieguitar again, with that video, superb content, and that IS the MOST important thing at the end of the day. Sound was loud and punchy too. As far as video quality goes, you've probably seen videos by JHS pedals, Wampler pedals and Andertons etc. The clarity of the videos is what sets them apart from others online. They most likely use different cameras from what you yourself use. They're big brands in some ways, but if you want to see other examples, try Marty's Music kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZXOdHVsmN-YoZo Yours isn't far from this guy, but still slightly below his quality kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZOognewmLSoebs nor far from this swedish dude and his channel Living Room Gear Demos kzbin.info/www/bejne/fovFp4qlf9CqrtU Scott Paul Johnson does some good stuff too with guitar instruction and video quality kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoLTY2mBmKmlfdk One of the best though is probably Eric Haugen kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6upZYZ6mcp4jJI Check these out and maybe even connect with them to ask about their video gear setup. The last 2 seem really kind as people and instructors so who knows, they might give you some pointers. Good luck!

I think it's great that you spoon-feed us some things that we should be able to figure out for ourselves. I don't know about everybody else, but I usually try to practice 3 - 4 hours a day, splitting time between major, pentatonic, arpeggio, etc. but seeing something as basic as this makes me want to spend the next week JUST doing this for as many different chords as I can, focusing on chords that are most prevalent in my playing.. Thanks for this, truly helpful to get me thinking about how to play with Arpeggios in a different way..... Oh, and as for the 45 minutes lessons, I watched many different youtube videos on the caged system, and while they all made sense (After a while) yours was the only one that got me to a place where I could actually understand it, and put it into practice... So here is to 45-minute lessons (At least your 45-minute lessons)
