Pentatonic guitar tutorial - how to solo all over the neck. TAB, Backing Track and Scale Patterns available on my Patreon page: www.patreon.com/posts/91399103
THIS is the Rosetta Stone I've been looking for. I'd been noodling in a couple of these positions for years without a proper understanding of how they are linked together. Beautifully done, easy to understand. THANK YOU!
After watching countless videos on how to solo I more or less figured this out on my own but this is the first time I was able to actually understand how to connect all the patterns seamlessly and musically. Thanks!
Jules, you videos have helped me a lot. Thank you for sharing you knowledge. I have been playing rhythm all my life, and now that I'm old I'm learning to play lead. You really are a good teacher.
Dear Brother Jewels , Your Videos Are getting Better, Better, Better!!! I love the illustration, your Fretboard Diagram Looks Amazing, So Easy to See, Practice. I Love the Whole Fretboard Display. Your Colors, Images are Fresh and Vivid. Keep Showing The Scales And Chords Just like your doing here. Fantastic All The Way. Thank You !!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🕺🏼✨️🙂
So fun. I've randomly found some of these easy transitions...but you showing them as patterns all the way up and down does 2 things: 1 - makes me wonder how much better i'd be if i knew this earlier. 2 - makes me happy i found some of them and have been using them (almost like a good friend).
Thanks Jules. Your lessons are clear, concise and understandable. You make putting these concepts into practice easy. Awesome channel, awesome teacher, awesome guitarist. ✌️&❤
Good stuff. It took me many years ago to put it all together as you show. Those double stops are game changers and the beginning to playing to the chord.
Wow! I play the first "diagonal" pentatonic pattern already but I haven't seen the other patterns incorporated like that. Totally opens up so much more. Looking forward to playing around with them.
This is THE video I was looking for! I had already started playing with the 2+3 and the BB Box, but this is now connecting everything. Amazing video, thanks for this.
Hi Jules, once again you are just a great guitar!! You help me a lot to make solos all over the neck with your clear without "rimram" explanation. For me you are the guy and keep up the good work because with your approach of the fretboard things are a lot easier for me to understand! Thanks a lot Jules!! Cheers & regards, Ron🎸🎼😃
It took me a minute to get used to the upside down fret diagram, but you used it to match the orientation of the guitar, so I think it was actually a smart move. You are teaching the right things. Nice video.
Excellent lesson. I remember seeing a video of a young Eric Clapton being interview. Clapton had his guitar in his lap and played some single note runs. He played the A minor pentatonic scale position 1 and he used the 2+3 slides demonstrated in this video.
Exactly what I needed. Thank you. This simple lesson is enough to make anybody become a decent guitar lead player. Just adjust for the different harmonic minor and such; add come chords, and you're done.
I like your teaching method , very simple and a lot of fun learning from you. The diagram and scale pattern demonstration that you displayed onscreen is what i like most. Excellent video and very uniques. Thanks for sharing this tutorial.
I got a lot more out of this video than I anticipated. Thank you very much, your method of presentation on this topic really helped me conceptually put together these different patters in relation to each other. Now all I need is a video on how to best drill these exercises and commit them to muscle memory and then figure out how apply them to different keys, and also practice different licks within the different positions to build my "vocabulary"
Jules - I really dig your instruction. This lesson is very good on a few levels. Pure gold. To me, this method meshes very well with CAGED as the pattern takes you right into and through most of the chords along the way. I dig your caged tutorials as well as your diagrams as I do not like or use TAB at all.
Hey Jules, thank you for making your lessons simple. Easy to follow and it has helped me with solos. I’ve been a rhythm player most of my guitar playing. Started working on solos and your videos have been the most helpful for me. Thanks again!!
These lessons are great. I don’t have any problem at all viewing the fretboard from this perspective but I think I’m in the minority judging by the other comments.
I made the same comment as you in a previous video from Jules. The videos are presented as if I had called to his house for tuition and they have that same no nonsense feel without any egotistical shredding etc. Keep going Jules you are hitting all the right spots for me.❤❤
Wow this is genius! I've been doing the 5 note shape in a lot of my leads because it sounds natural and works so well. I didn't realize you could link them on different strings. You just gave me something stellar to practice and incorporate into my leads and improvisational playing. Cheers mate!
Hi Jules! Your lesson is incredible and you play very well. Your explanations helped me a lot and you gained another subscriber. Thanks a lot. Greetings from Brazil.
One of the best explanations I’ve seen of these concepts especially the 2+3 and 3+2. Worth noting you can manipulate to 2+3 does a 1,3,4,5,b7 type combo etc. Thank
Jules what a fantastic lesson!! thank you very much , offcourse I have subscribed to your channel , what an eyeopener this video is, admiration and respect from the Netherlands Europe.
I don't know yet ! Hopefully after a million tries I will. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 😊I will be saving this precious info for future reference.
Very nice lesson, Jules! To add a bit of theory context, the 2/3 pattern here begin on the 5th degree of the C major scale, being G, and the 3/2 pattern begins on the root of the C major scale, being C. Since C is the relative major of A minor, I just think of the five pentatonic box patterns in C/Am as being numbered 6,1,2,3,5 (if you are starting on the 5th fret of the 6th string), with the corresponding CAGED shapes of these boxes being G,E,D,C,A. Name your box patterns after the degree of the major scale they start on, and both E strings will be guide markers to let you know exactly where you are at all times, making it easy to skip over patterns if you want to. Instead, many guitar teachers call the first pattern "Box 1" (I suppose after the A minor root), but then they call the next pattern after that "Box 2", when that one starts on the major root, which makes no sense. Marrying the box number with actual music theory leverages your knowledge of the fretboard.
Pardon…..what were the words you just said? Being 68 and playing for 55 years, I’ve just wailed away. Now I’m too old to worry about theory. So everything you said was an alien language. But, the way Jules explained it, I understood thePRACTICAL application and, could hear it in my head before he played it……… That is what players like me need. NOT theory gobbledegook…..😅
This is an outstanding lesson! Thanks you much! One tiny suggestion (and I hate opinions that I didn't ask for, lol...sorry!) But in the future please consider making the neck diagrams reverse and upside down from what is seen here. Then it would match both standard and tab notations. Again thanks! Subbed!
