Why are all the comments so old- you break this down nicely-exactly what I’ve been looking for- thanks brother

8 year old video and you just nailed it! Awesome video!

Literally been looking for something like this since I started playing.. couple years later now I can put the pieces together to jump around the fretboard a lot more easily thank you !!!

Playing guitar all my life and this is the best lessons I've ever seen!

You are the king of RU-vid guitar theory lessons. A god among men. I am still watching all your videos, absorbing something new every time I do, even though I've been through them all multiple times. I really am grateful you share your talent not only as a player but as a teacher.

i just stumbled across the this video for the second time. The first time was 6 or so months ago and its changed the way i approach the fretboard completely - and broke me out of vertical scale thinking. in parallel to learning scale positions, this is a must do exercise. -print an image of your desired scale across whole fretboard -grab highlighter -portion it out root to 7 root to 7 as many ways as you like -stick it on your music stand -play play play -the patterns will begin to ingrain faster than scale memorization will ever take hold alone also: "lets start with the major scale because once you know this pattern you'll automatically know its 6 additional modes" - GENIUS (and you'll also know the Minor Scale...) print em off and look really hard at them all if that doesn't click. The Major scale, Minor scale, and 6 modes of each are just the exact same pattern slid to a different place on the fretboard. if you master the Major and can move it around - you know all the rest. please keep making these!

Great lesson - Been playing for 50-years yet still learning. I have my own way, nonetheless, I admire your tutorials - Thanks for making the videos and sharing - much appreciated.

My conciouse will never let me go without appreciating such a matchless work.Thank you so much for your Service Brother. A lot of love from Pakistan 😊 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

U are an angel sent from the stairs from heaven 💖. I have watched many videos. But by watching yours I finally understand how scales on a guitar works.

playing for a year and now i get it .i have all 5 pentatonic scale's all down pat . and now this . man does it help me now big time ..now its time to cut lose . thank you very much .

Brilliant stuff. Exactly what is needed for anyone stuck in scales.

This is the best 7 minute lesson I have seen. I have been looking for something like this for a while. Loved it keep it up!!

Your clear approach and illustrations are terrifically helpful. I've signed up to your program which is excellent value for the small amount involved. Thankyou and keep it up. You're adding a lot more music to the world ... and removing quite a bit of dull noise... 😃 Mine.

Best guitar teacher I've ever seen.

This is the right video I've been looking for. No BS introduction, just straight to the point.

@5:30 was one of those "aha" moments for me. Some simple things can elude us in seeming much more complex than they actually are. Thank you.

Amazing... thank you for taking the time and allow those intermediate folks to gain the insight. Kudo's to you !!!!

the amount of knowledge in this video is so enormous and easy to grasp that even me as a beginner learned so much .. thank you

Unbelievable how good this is for the growth of speed and efficiency

Talk about taking your soloing a step up! I love Fretjam and its free information, truly an amazing resource for the guitar community!!!

Us a beginner, your teaching method is very simple to follow and super informative. Thank you so much.

That was amazing! I kind of got the speed by now but did not know how to "shred" the scale. So much fun. Could not stop practicing :) Thank you very much!!

Outstanding lesson. An entire new way of looking at the fretboard for me. Thanks very much!

This is the best 7 min lesson i have ever watched in internet. You are best teacher.

Why didn't I find your channel a year ago when I started learning guitar. I've learned more from your channel than I have in a year of watching other guitar tutorials that seems like they're just showing off but not instructing. Best guitar tutorials I've ever seen on RU-vid keep it up.

Some of the best, most straightforward guitar lessons online. Great job!

This really identified my weak spot. I know all the pentatonic positions backwards and forwards, and all the arpeggio scales, but I have never focused on how to connect them over large areas of the neck. Now I get it. A thousand thanks! I have subscribed.

Thank you. Visually it's simple. Broken down it's simple. Well done mate

Love that you put intervals, so many vids put just fingerings. Intervals mean so much weird how many leave it out.

This video was perfect for allowing me to expand my ability to traverse positions across the neck. Very well illustrated.

What you offer for free is amazing. One can only begin to imagine the sage advice to be found for a fee.

Having a visual diagram to watch makes all the difference when learning guitar. It's much easier than watching someone demonstrate it on a guitar. I'm so glad I found you, you're easily the best instructor I've tried to learn from!

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SEARCHING FOR. I would buy a whole bookfull of this if it was available. Is there even one out there that has this

that video change my playing by a lot, thanks guy!

definitely this is the best guitar lesson channel, thumbs up sir, thank you very much

Brilliant! Your ability to convey intricate and complex material with ease and simplicity make it a lesson any guitar player can benefit from.

That's exactly what I'm looking for, thank you so much for this video😊

Improved my playing in a matter of hours. Thanx!

Best lesson on RU-vid period. This is crazy good and visually very easy to understand. Subscribed.

😂🎉 FINALLY! 35YRS it's taken to find what I wanted! THANKYOU ❤

FINALLY. I’ve been looking for something like this. Thanks 👍🏻.

Just stop here to say THANK YOU sir🙏🙏

Excellent lesson. Underrated video lesson. Thank you, super helpful.

thanks good stuff, been practicing it all night

I am surprised there are not more recent comments. This is a lesson everyone needs to know! Thanks...!!!

1:55 for anyone who ever wondered if they could ever feel comfortable using the whole neck. A true goldmine.

I wish I could've given this video a thousand likes!!! Fretjam is definitely the best channel to learn guitar theory & scales!!!

Wonderful and a very wonderful teacher.

Thanks fretjam you have the very best videos available 👍

Wooow, one of the best channels. I was looking for a long time for such a visual of the fret board and finally I found it. Thank you so much! 🙌 🎸 🎶 🖤

Sir, you are doing Gods work... Thank you so much...

I can safely say, you are the best guitar instructor on youtube. I've been playing guitar for 5 years and still learning so much from you. Keep up your awesomeness!!

Wow, a cool way to work on modes or scales without being bored to death. I feel like I work on modes 5 hours a week and I'm getting nowhere.great video , I just subscribed, keep 'Em coming!!!!

I love learning from you! Thank you for sharing!!!

I'm so glad I found your channel. It seems to be exactly what I need . I I ever get regular work again, i'll be happy to support as well, but till then , thank you so much for these lessons.

The best online guitar class 👌

This is the exact fucking lesson i needed. FINALLY!!!!! :D

Mike, you are an incredible teacher and I am learning SO MUCH since I found your website and youtube channel. Thank you!

All I had to do was see the thumbnail to know I'd love you channel. Even more so once I saw your teaching style was easy to grasp. You've got yourself a sub.

One of the best guitar videos I've come across on youtube. I've been using youtube and other websites to help me learn how to play for the past four years. This video has helped tremendously. I greatly appreciate your videos. Keep up the fantastic work!

Great lesson! I had half stumbled on an idea like this but this makes it more understandable and graspable. I've been trying to spice up my scales and this will do nicely.

I really like this lesson and keep coming back to it. I finally took the time to slow down and understand. You did a great job of breaking it down into understandalbe increments. I have been playing guitar for a long time and am always trying to grow and get better. This is a lesson that I am going to focus on in my efforts to become a better guitar player. Thank you.

This is cool. I feel that, if I can get this stuff down, to some degree, and play it up to speed, I could sort of sound like one of my all-time favorite guitarists. Yes, Steve Howe of course. Cheers. I`m subscribing.

Love this lesson. It's a really great way to work out your fingers, plus it makes a scale sound musical.

Once again a great video lesson! You have a great way of teaching, you should seriously consider sorting out your videos on order of difficulty with a playlist (so a complete beginner could progress on his own, but still learn thing correctly!). Also you do something that I really appreciate, you give pivot point examples so you can relate your ideas to, and you also teach a general approach in order to play in other roots, so one can use the patterns/examples thoroughly through the neck! (My first musical "click" was when I discovered that the scale patterns were interchangeable/movable/etc..., after learning the C Major scale, learning the G Major, etc... scales seemed impossible, being self taught, I wish I had a teacher like you! If you decide to write your own guitar book, with these videos on a separate DVD/CD whatever, I believe it would sell really fast :D (In a world of digital formats, I still prefer studying using paper). Where can I donate?

this is an eye opener for me dude. well done indeed. excellent lesson

Great video just what I was looking for

Great lesson. Thank you very much. Have a wonderful day.

I use your minor and major scale runs. Thx

I just figured out directional picking and yngwie malmsteens stile of sequencing but one question remained how to navigate across all 5boxed shaped positions of what ever parent scale I chose thanks to this video I have a better method thanks! :)

Incredible lesson, best channel

perfect! easy logical explanation and application. thank you FJ.

Your videos have made my playing improve ten fold. Thank you so much for making these.

I appreciate ur video. Made sense to me. Thanks, I'm off to practice! 🎸

Thanks for another great lesson! You're doing an amazing job with your lessons, please do not stop ... We need you! :-)

Great lesson, helps very much.

Dude keeps blowing my mind. Great teacher.

this helped me a lot. the graphics are kickass. thank you

I havn't worked scales in a while. This was a pretty cool tutorial.

This is ridiculously good.

I'm totally new to playing but you taught me so much...ty your awesome

Straight to the point, so helpful

Here's 2 cents from an ear player........ learn the pattern. Always start looking at the 12th fret as that's a great lead place to start. Find 'the box' or the pattern that associates itself with all the notes of the scale around the 12th. DO NOT IGNORE the way that this scale sounds. With time you will be able to correctly play through just by listening to where the intervals are and knowing if they should be half or whole steps from where you are. this can help you build 'relative pitch'. After you figure out some licks within the 12th fret area, continue using your ear to figure out and play the scale across the neck. If you have half an ear you will know what the correct notes are for the scale. Play the scale up and down until your sick of it and can play it fast. Then when it's embedded in your head, fond the rest of it across the neck. Remember that a scale is NOT all the dots you see right now...it's only 7 of them. The rest are repeats. Now start learning the theory that associates this scale with the chords behind it. Doors start to open.

Definitely worth using

Your lessons are so amazing, that I coundn't help but subscribe to your jamplay. I need to support you! You helped me a lot for free and you deserve it! Thank you!

best channel I've found for theory lessons, thank you so much!

Once again, this is so well put together (as all your videos) it makes what seems hard to grasp to most, fluent & easy. The best I seen out there.... AWESOME!! Thanks again

You r the best guitar tuitor.

C'mon, guys and gals - reach into your wallets/purses and support this man's work! Mr Fretjam sure knows his stuff; I'm currently working on his Arpeggio lessons and they are SUPERB. Beginners could really benefit from studying Arpeggios in order to become better intermediate players, IMHO. Learning cool Blues licks (or Metal or Jazz licks etc) is fine but if you're serious about becoming a player then you need to learn practical theory and how it relates to making music and FretJam really does have an authoritative handle on that, without a doubt. Thank you!

Was about to leave a comment to commend you on he fine work you do here at this channel but it seems every one else notices it too so keep up the good work my dude.

well done ...you've made it so simple

Just hoping not to give up..GREAT LESSONS MAN.

Seriously well done; great way to avoid ruts.

One of the best channel on RU-vid. Thank you so much..

awesome..searched some scale runs and find this lesson on my favorite site...legend! .cheers bro!

Just what I was looking for Thankyou!

This is the channel I’ve been looking for. Thank you.

These are awesome lessons .

Great lesson! I will visit the website and watch the other videos. I believe it will improve my playing technique
