  • Wow. This is really good. You’ve given me a fresh perspective. Well explained too. Subscription added????

  • Are you using a Boss SG-1 or a volume pedal along with some kind of shimmer reverb in this video?

  • There's nothing "random" about frets. Move one, and see what happens in your ears. Learn theory, and the fingerboard, but by singing and then finding what you sang – but on the strings.

  • That is a good exercise, too, another thing is to learn to "hear" how moving the order of the notes sounds. For a very basic example, playing a major 2nd versus a 7th, so E-F# where E is the lower note versus F#-E and then E-D# versus D#-E since the E-major scale has the sharps at F#, C#, G# and D#. Developing the ear is so under-rated – like the idea that if you play a fifth interval on the guitar the lower note/string carries the melody whereas playing a 4th interval means the top note/string carries the melody. Your open G-chord is a great example because if you let all the strings play that lowest interval is a major 3rd (G-B) but a lot of times players will mute the 5th string (open A) so now your lowest interval is the G and D, i.e. a 5th i.e. a "power chord".

  • Here's something I've pondered. I think learning the fretboard is a different process for someone who has little to no musical background and picks up a guitar as their first instrument, versus someone who, taking myself as an example, has/had substantial musical training and had the piano as their first instrument. I think cognitively it's a different process so for me one thing that helped was to sit at my piano with my guitar and basically "translate". So, what does an E-major root chord (E-G#-B) look like on the keyboard? Now, what is that shape on the guitar using the 1-2-3 strings, the 2-3-4 strings…up to the 4-5-6 strings? Now do the 2nd inversion, so G#-B-E, then the 3rd (B-E-G#) and same exercise.

    In your opinion, is this a good thing or does it create problems? I'm genuinely asking, I don't know. I could see how one might argue I'm using the keyboard as a "default" and translating to the fretboard. I would say, perhaps at first, but the idea is to eventually "break free" of doing the mental step of translation until one sees the fretboard as "naturally" as the keyboard, which to me would represent the equivalent of an "epiphany". More generally, would you teach certain aspects of the guitar differently if your student had a background in a different instrument versus someone new?

  • I definitely am a slow learner but that has helped me understand what you teached here. Thank you.

  • Great idea for learning how to solo over chord changes through an exercise. Thanks.

  • Guitarists will learn a LOT by playing up and down one string. Dedicate a week to using one string, then move onto the next. Memorise the names of the notes on every string. Most guitarists only ever bother learning the notes on the E and A string in aid of the classic barre chords. It's not that much work to learn the D and G strings, they're just 2 frets offset from the E and A anyway, the high E string is the same as the low E, so the only big outlier is the B string. Don't be lazy. Learn all the notes. A month or to at most and you'll have it on lock.

  • This was excellent. Thanks very much. That guitar sounds fantastic BTW. I'm currently fiending for a 335!

  • Watched a lot of videos trying to figure out how chords translated across the fretboard. Always felt like I was missing something. This video finally filled in those gaps. Great job really breaking it all the way down for us dummies

  • I have written an App, that allows you to see the fretboard, and display the note names/intervals/degrees and lots of other info, if Daniel ok with it, I can post, its free btw sot a sell.

  • See Jimmy Bruno five shape videos if you really want to see the fretboard. This is not the way in my opinion.

    Reply
  • thank uuu very much! the arpeggios was the piece of the puzzle that was missing for me. I'd spent two years practicing the triads and their positions on each string but never really unlocked the melodic part until now????

    Reply
  • I guess I appreciate the utility of this as an exercise, I honestly shut the video off after 5 minutes as it’s just playing through chord tones of a Gmajor chord throughout the fretboard. Again I appreciate the utility of the exercise, my biggest gripe would be that you never answered the question in which the video is titled
