Hey guys, its Uncle Ben Eller here with Weekend Wankshop 271! Last week, my good friend and musical guru Rick Beato uploaded a video showing a Fretboard Hack that he promised would improve your playing... but was he right?
YES! Of course he was! And i've been using the same note-rearranging concepts for years to expand my scale pattern concepts across the board. See, the kinds of phrases we play on the guitar are DIRECTLY tied to the scale patterns we use. The more ways you know to play a scale, the more options you have!
In this lesson, i'm going to show you all how to reimagine an A minor scale pattern in a variety of different ways to cover the whole board in no time, plus show you the how and why we would use one versus another. Sometimes its a tone thing, sometimes its a phrasing thing! Either way, you'll end up learning the neck better than ever!

My freatboard hack is learning the position of one note all over the fretboard for 20 Minutes a day. Rinse and repeat for every note. Takes about 2 weeks to learn all of them if you're dilligent, less if you spend more time.

Let's see an interview lesson with Eller and Beato. So much to be learned from masters of the art

@andzzz2 3 года назад

What really helped me was using one octave scales based around three string triads and their inversions. I could play lots of six string scales, but they would often reduce to dot patterns in my head which, while in the right key, led to me playing a lot of meaningless runs and brain freeze. Smaller patterns helped me play more fluidly and meaningfully, improving my ear in the process. Once mastered they are also easy to link up into many different larger groupings.

@adesalex 4 года назад

I use a numbering system to understand where I'm at when playing across the fret. I think the cool thing about guitar is that as long as you understand basic interval theory you will eventually reach an understanding of your own. I remember watching a fender next video with Melanie Faye where she commented a bit on her numbering system, and for me it clicked just like that.

@larryhall2805 3 года назад

@SDesWriter 3 года назад

I always find these things interesting because I learned to play off three note per string boxes so I've always done this by using my ear to determine tonal centers instead of worrying about specific scales or modes. It doesn't work for everything because you can obviously combine completely different scales by using modal theory and that I've never understood fully, but for the simple stuff I see people explain this and I'm just surprised that anyone didn't already learn it because it seems so fundamental to me. It's kind of cool to realize how many different ways there are to approach the guitar and how that will change at what points you plateau temporarily or possibly even permanently due to your fundamental understanding of the instrument.

@LakriTs9 4 года назад

a trick i use is use the proper power chord shape to find the octaves and create scales around that pretty much. but should probably focus abit more on the scales then i do :). tho also reading sheet music helped me try different position and where to find the note or converting piano stuffs into guitar helped me alot. the last one also helped me with finding weird chord shapes on guitar and some interesting triad stuffs.
