For my Presets visit: johnnathancordy.gumroad.com/ Ok - so I think normally when I do videos on this, I kind of over do the thing....So - actually. I think SMALL steps are the way forward for actually building more knowledge of scales etc. If you're thinking you're stuck playing pentatonic box stuff - here's how I think you can start to practically break out of that and move towards the sorts of phrases that you see Mateus Asato, Eric Johnson etc doing often.

I've seen the John Mayer pentatonic "equator" clip before (minor below, major above) but it never really clicked until you explained it there with the relative minor. So simple! Thanks again!

The question is not wheather it was helpful. It is. The question is wheather you accept your role as an eternal repetitive patient lesson presenter (not to say a teacher). To get the lesson repitions not boring you spice them up with variations which I like. So, I would like to see a repition of not only playing three notes per string as triplets, but spread them to other measures as well. You already mentioned this, but it was not the focus in that vid. An 80bpm click and an underlaying (FM3, thanks for that. Don't forget your FAS fools) freeze tone would be nice.

Brilliant lesson! I think one of the best thing to do to break out of the box is listen to other types of music. So many people are stuck in this blues/rock mode, they forget to open their ears to other styles, and then try to incorporate that into their own playing. The other thing to is to learn to play around the chord changes. If you break a 12 bar blues progression down, you have so many non-box options to use around the chord changes and turnarounds. Thanks for a great reminder to us all. Awesome video.

Last week I sold my VOX AC15HW1X, my Helix LT, a Greenback speaker, a THD load box, all for 2300 euros. I still have here an Orange rocker 15 terror head, which I may end up selling because I do not use it much, a cab Orange PPC212 that sounds spectacular and with the 2300 euros I bought the Fractal FM9 turbo. At present, my sound is with the FM9 and the Orange cab, the sound is so good, that I think sooner or later I will sell my 15 terror rocker. In conclusion, now I have, two guitars, an orange rocker 15, the cab PPC212 and the FM9 and I think having the FM9, it does not make sense to keep the Orange rocker 15. So....I´m happy, excelent sound, small amount of gear. And I don't have that feeling of accumulating gear unnecessarily. Ah! and of course, thanks to the FM9 and my low effects needs, I don't need to look at the effect pedal section either. I think we all go through the same stages in our life as a musician. Experimentation: Where you buy most of your gear and are in a spiral of almost continuous buying and selling and...then comes another period in which you get bored of so much buying and selling gear and decide to stop and keep what is really important, necessary and practical.

@samb2538 2 года назад

Fantastic lesson, thanks John! This is exactly what I have been working to do lately, so your putting some structure around it is really helpful! So glad you're back online mate!

@karenmcspadden7240 2 года назад

This is fantastic, thanks for a great tutorial to “link boxes” and will serve for some new practice and jam inspiration for me.

@tonybarber420 Год назад

I get the vibe its a very shawn lane way of playing in that u can link up many notes of the 2 boxes in sort of 1 postion of playing and then throw in groupings and of course phrasing and it truly unlocks your vocabulary and how you want to express yourself while playing!! This just unlocked something in my brain thanks!

@davedewees 2 года назад

John, thank you for sharing this. It's great reminder or our discussion earlier today! I can keep coming back to this to review. I like how expanded the playing examples too.

@johnnathancordy 2 года назад

Hey David!! Hopefully yeh it's a little way we can both remember what we were talking about ha! Also...use the Aux jack....sigh!!

Love you bro! Very cool stuff!

@skipneumann1 Год назад

Going right into my teaching lessons with my students! I never thought about this concept to really learn the shapes and will expand the idea to the modes. Thanks

@stratocumulusnimbostratus328 2 года назад

Brilliant! This is the best “beyond” idea I’ve seen. Trust the idea is then to go position 2 to 3 then 1 to 5 and kinda meet in the middle or somewhere ;-). Thanks!!!

@thesummerprojectvids Год назад

This intro is so epic. And really great observations and tips throughout the video. Your channel is gold, bro!

@benjones7972 Год назад

Jamming along with the examples, I’m feeling some brain tickles here. Thanks man, super useful.

@stratocumulusnimbostratus328 2 года назад

Would love to see more videos on this specific theme expanding on the idea of moving out. I took the box shifts idea and went on first two strings up all 5 patterns, then next two strings etc. just thought I’d share that as another way of extending to all 😝

Yep, that's a sub.....

@vespass225 Год назад

Hi John, Beautiful, Melodic, emotional playing. Melodically captivating.... By the way, what guitar are you using in this video? Looks gorgeous.

@quiqueberro-garcia2445 2 года назад

Hi John ! Great ideas to avoid that sensation of being "In the box " ! by the way..what preset is this one ?..It sounds amazing !! Thanks a lot !

@dewe7021 2 года назад

Johnathan, can you share what is the pickup height setup in your Kline? P. S. Thanks to you i bought some Bitcoin, best deal of my life. Thanks!

@johnnathancordy 2 года назад

Lol sorry!!! Umm if you let me know how to measure pickup height I can try. Worth knowing that these are Lollar Dirty Blondes with the flat pole (non staggered)

@lupinbrabablebix9840 Год назад

I understand the relative minor but why is it that shape 1 works in the major and the relative minor but if it’s written in a minor shape 1 only works in the minor key and not in the major

Great lesson, JC, thanks!!! P.S.: Is your crypto coin called Bark Coin?😁

@LeeHoMusic 2 года назад

how do you do that background ambient pads? is it a special pedal?

@nano-xm1wl Год назад

what kind of pick you uses?

@aaronvalure178 2 года назад

Can we get a series on this stuff

@johnnathancordy 2 года назад

Hey Aaron - there's actually a "lessons and licks" playlist which has quite a lot of these already, but 100% I will keep making more!

@stratocumulusnimbostratus328 2 года назад

What’s the deal with the low pickup height

@johnnathancordy 2 года назад

This is my favourite guitar I've ever played by a longshot, I think it's just how it was when I got it and it works for me? I wouldn't want to change anything about it ha!

@karenmcspadden7240 2 года назад

Looks about like typical Fender standard height specs to me. Strat pickups generally aren’t very high above the pickguard.
