How Beginners Should REALLY Learn Scales 

Another thing that helped me was singing the names of the notes as I play them. It made me memorise where all the notes are, so I don't have to rely exclusively on shapes.

This is the kind of material that anyone trying to figure out where to start guitar, needs!! . I say this in reference to material that comes from a legit source such as yourself Sean. It helps us feel like we're actually learning something properly because of YOU. Thank you Sean, for these videos!!

The down 1 string plus 7 to find the same note rule is so handy for a beginner, I’d love to know more quick easy little things like that because they’re easy to remember and give me starting points for understanding the larger concepts.

This is a diamond amongst the chaff of scales' videos! Would love to see the one about the B string.

You the man Sean! Great learning video. I almost get it. Will watch it again and again.

The slide created by starting the minor third on the next string rather than reaching on the same makes for a much more melodic sound. Never thought of it that way. The demonstration really made me cognizant of that.

Wow!! Great video Sean 👏🏻👏🏻loads of information, loads of light bulb moments, loads of things to practice… I will indeed binge in scale activities at the week end… keep these coming dude ❤️

You have that way of making the concepts come alive and in play in a very natural way. Thanks for that! Great lesson!

Great lesson. You make it understandable, in a musical way, and slow enough to see what ur playing and time to absorb the info. love it. Same thing on all of the rest of the major's please.

Thank you man! Things should be simplified and practiced like this. Dont stop!

Excellent Sean. Another tasty tidbit to advance with.

Incredibly useful, simple, elegant and sooooo on track to build upon with infinite variations - thanks 😊

Thanks for scales lesson! Appreciated.

Terrific lesson, Sean. A much more interesting approach than routine learning of scales.

I think even if I didn’t play guitar I would still watch this dude. I just like how excited Sean is about music. It’s infectious.

thanks. I learned a lot. you are the man

Thank you You break it down so that even I can understand it.

Great lesson

Ok , i just started looking into the big repeating patterns and how that relates to the scales. With that being said now im looking at the setup scale formations ,trying to figure how to implement it into my playing. Now im looking for the repeating patterns in the different modes lol. My guitar journey has been the last maybe four years, but always had a guitar in my possession, without knowing a damn thing about it. I am getting better in time. Thanks for all you do Sean, Merry Christmas

Setting up your own guitar is soooo cathartic! A small investment in basic tools and some good instructional vids made a HUGE difference in my long neglected acoustic! Now I feel like Im a part of my axe and vice versa. Do it!

Music Nomad is the Snap On of guitar tools. Very well made and engineered and pricey.

Thank u.

Hey Sean. Long time watcher, first time commenter! Thank you for a video like this. For whatever reason this video sparked my inspiration and understanding. Very well said, layer out, and shown. It really made a difference for me atleast. Thank you 🤙🤙

I've been breaking the B string wall after realizing that if you keep the string pairs thing going like at 2:50, but you go down 3 more frets on the B and high E strings, the same note pattern is found. 🤯 Looking at the fret board framed in string pairs has made me see the note patterns much clearer and get to the point of knowing locations of all the notes.

Thanks for another great video .. I really liked that you used the word “panache” it’s my new word for today .. Yes your video today had panache !

I love this thank you, i cant do bar chords so the caged system feels very difficult for me😢

I suck with the B and high E strings. So when I “try to” solo. I just play the top 4 strings like a bassist. I play bass as well. That’s where I stand currently in terms of soloing and sounding musical

First! Great lesson! I’m getting your Patreon for X-Mass

Hey Sean, do you recommend a specific drum track to use for this?

Immo check out that setup kit.

great talking i always have trouble with fast too the next note with my picking hand

Remember Saigon Kick's The Lizard 🦎... The lizard is very scaly. Sean is the David Spade of guitar tutors. So many throw away jokes, as they say in the business. 🙏 Thanks 🙏

Why is you g mj scale closed and have no open strings?

B string please!

Damn the B string, save the empire!

More Boss Bakes.

“Even if you went to public school you should know that”. 😂😂

😂traditional confusing speak!! Yes You get me!

No love for public schools.....c'mon man!

"...Scale activity ". The most blandl explanation of music ever? Congrats you do fine work Today appears to be coming from the boarder of exhaustion.
