Sir, you understate your ability to help players. What you consider teaching beginners is actually teaching ppl like me that has played for 40 yrs with minimum lessons and no growth, to put it all together what I have learned. I know caged, triads, can read notes but theory is priceless. Maybe I am a beginner as far as what I call growth in knowledge but man!, you made it so simple and understandable. You have obviously been educated and at the top advanced level. At your expense you share this knowledge free at no cost to viewers. What viewers don’t realize is you paid out of your pocket for your education! There are only a handful of ppl like yourself that unselfishly give your knowledge away. I won’t mention names because name dropping can go to the head of that humble person and change their intention…to give! You’ve opened a new journey for my playing. Thank you kind sir for sharing your knowledge. You deserve a reward for humbleness, sharing, kind heartedness and giving! I hope this comment can be the beginning of your rewards to come. Gods Speed!
I dunno if this is really true but I was so disappointed with my "guitar-teacher", he was clearly playing for a long time and new a ton of stuff, but didn't show it so me, he just gave me charts with notes (which I can't read) total waste of money
Damn you got ripped off badly. Never took lessons and worked out great. Yt is your best friemd and just playing and repeating your excercises/new tricks/theory.
I honestly dont often write comments on youtube, but i have never in 2 years of playing seen videos that make everything i know click together as well as your Videos. Im honestly really amazed. I came into guitar playing knowing alot of music theory and you explanations just connect theory and musical intention so perfectly for me. Great Videos, keep doing what you are doing!
I have been playing guitar over 40 years. Jules Guitar is without a doubt the best RU-vid instructional videos. Combines, theory, proper terminology, graphic / charts, and practical application / technique all in a very understable format. Far too often, video guitarists do not link together the scales to chords to neck position and leave out much information. Jules Guitar puts it all together!
I recently started taking the initiative to grow out of my intermediate-level plateau and have been watching tons of videos. Your channel always delivers maximum value + clarity with minimum fluff. Keep up the great work!
I just got chills and I'm not even 1/2 way through - 30+ years and I just quantum leaped in my understanding of what I AM DOING and literally have a whole new appreciation for what I CAN DO! I've never given money for a video on RU-vid - but this truly made me better in ways I'm not sure I even know, yet. Bless you, Jules!
Jules, gotta say mate, you’ve very quickly become my go to RU-vid guitar resource. You pitch at JUST the right level for someone who has been playing guitar long enough to be searching for this sort info. Kinda like beginner intermediate level. Loved the solo blues piece recently, and 12 licks you should know.
Simply put, a simply brilliant tutorial. I’ve been playing for over 35 years, hacking my way through countless live performances and you taught me several things today… GREAT video. Thanks.
Not the first time I’ve commented on your excellent channel. This clip is gold. Your generosity, lack of posturing, and the clarity of your concise lessons is unparalleled on RU-vid. Hacks such as these make decades of playing come to life in a few short minutes. Great guitar and sound BTW. Thank you!
Brilliant! You explain things so simply. Haven’t played for 45 years and have forgotten everything. In this one video you’ve reminded me how to play again. Thanks
Man I can’t believe how easy you’re making this for me. Your ability to break things down and simplify them is a gift. Thank you for sharing. I’ve been through so many courses and I just happened to stumble across your page and it’s literally unlocked everything for me. Again, thank you so much! Cheers🍻
Much in agreement with other comments that have expressed surprise at how much they can learn in a short time. You seem to have a focus on the exact root of half understood concerns and explain them succinctly. Even after playing numerous years these lessons are revelatory. Cheers.
Hi Jules. As a very new beginner lead player and still trying to find my place at how to begin so that I am not wasting time, I find your videos very informative and just want to say thank you so much for your time. Very appreciated!!!
I spent 20 years not knowing and you just open my eyes to everything in a few minutes. Please make more videos like this. I need more light bulbs. I wanna be able to play with freedom snd knowing what I'm doing
Am used to seeing the chord graphics displayed vertically and initially thought your horizontals were displayed backwards but then quickly caught on. Love it!
Once again, another outstanding video of your teaching and sharing of your knowledge. I and I should imagine many others can't thank you enough. You have made this man with a Guitar a Guitar player. Thank you.
Blimey. This guy has taught and put together so much in the space of such little time vs thousands of teachers on RU-vid. Lots of ah ha moments in this.
Thanks a lot for this great, very informative video ! I've been playing guitar on and off over the last 30 years or so, and I still did learn a few things . So, yeah, keep 'em comin', man ! All those little tricks that can help us sound better quickly, and make rapid progress. I'm sure this is exactly what most people are looking for. 🎸👍
Just added this lesson to my saved list, to go back over and review. I like the combination of on screen tabs & slower motion close ups of fingering. Thanks!!!
Holy cow! You got more into 10 minutes than many would get into 10 full videos. I'm going to have to go over this a lot of times with a guitar in my hand, but thanks very much for posting it
Great video! I'm subscribed. looking forward to more videos. Simple, clear and to the point. I like that. A lot of videos on youtube have too much intro you have to get past.
I totally agree. A lot of people here claim that their video is a guitar lesson when it’s mainly just them grandstanding their talents and a little bit of lesson. Jules lessons are blissful.
I’ve watched hundreds of guitar RU-vid videos from all the major dudes and this, was BY FAR, the best all around! Thank you! Keep them coming! Just subscribed
Terrific video Jules. Packed full of practical and clever ideas. It will take awhile to absorb all of them but now we have them at our disposal for reference and practice. Many thanks.
Last comment i wrote 3 days ago. After 3 days info for those who don’t understand this video - If you want to start play some music, this is good tutorial. From the other hand, i think that i finally understood difference between shapes of minor and major chords. I thought that i will finally have to pay for this knowledge because i couldn’t get it. Maby case of luck, maby my time of understanding accidentaly had come at this time, but this video solved some mistery in my head and it took 3 days.
man you are awesome. i am learning so much from you :) especially the part of which chords go over each scale part. i've been struggling with that one for years. 10 minute video and everything is finally clear :) thank you so much
Wow. You simply nailed it!! What you just did in a short video, many many “teachers” spend video after video to (try to) teach. The end result is always (for me) confusing. Even really skilled pro players are so bad teachers, but they play MANY notes :-). Good job :-)
It would be nice to have a video explaining how to use the other boxes of the pentatonic and how to transition between them. Every time I'm improvising I find myself locked in the first position, and it's very hard to get out of it.
Playing in "boxes" is a bit of a misnomer IMO. You need to learn the entire scale pattern along the fretboard (it's surprisingly simple), then depending which key you are playing in you can move that pattern up or down the fretboard. Then you will be able to "walk" up and down any string, or "jump" to another position in that pattern. It's a bit hard for me to describe, but actually it's pretty simple in the pentatonic scale. It's like a jigsaw, where there are only about three different shaped pieces (or boxes if you like). Search for tutorials on the "pentatonic highway".
Here are a couple of videos from Steve Stine on the 5 positions that I found very helpful, good luck 1. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uLk1EPCkLbY.html 2. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gkcw9CzLA-A.html
