You did "underrated" so I will do "Hold my beer". Maybe someone else can ask what movie brought you here? Guitar students: Theres no new way to learn Fretjam: Hold my beer
Just wanna give a BIG THANKS and CREDITS to fretjam, your lessons are gold, I hope you keep creating videos. It's very rare to see videos in youtube that totally teaches music and not some clickbait thumbnails and stupid titles just for fame and money.
When the Am/Dm arrangement came up, my jaw just dropped and so many lights came on. I can't wait to try it all out tonight when I get home from work. Thanks.
This is really an incredible lesson with months of possible practice ideas! Diving deep into playing the minor arpeggio over the third of a major chord or vice versa takes your solos to another level and is the secret sauce for jazz improv 101. Thanks for an incredible tutorial.
DAMMMM!! Once, AGAIN? Professor? The way you break it down and the explanation is more clear to me. And, with the tab, I can see it more clearly!! Some, of your lessons that don't have the tab? I have to watch over and over? Cause, your WHIZZING through the notes. GREAT LESSON, PROFESSOR!!!!!!
I really love your videos. Including the practical and theoretical aspects into one vid, and showing it all at the same time really helps driving home how it all works.
7th Arpeggios have been my favorite thing to play on electric guitar for a while. I enjoy figuring out the 7 interval chords for a Scale, then finding the specific 7th for each chord, picking a select few chords/inversions, and playing the specific 7th Arpeggios over those chords. This video completely changes the way I understand this concept. I really like how you break it down and explain the color tones. The segment at 9:50 is amazing. It's helping me see how the minor/major/minor7th/major7th arpeggios can be strung together to create beautiful textures. Thank you.
Thank you for your time my friend. The beauty of seeing integrated arpeggios in this way is you can reposition and reuse familiar patterns in a different context. You don't even have to know the note names. Just position the pattern accordingly over the backing chord and you have a sound that you can pull out the bag in any key or position.
This channel is clearly showing what is excellent quality over useless quantity. With a subject - each time!!! - that will keep you busy for months if not years! Thank you for that ... absolutely love it 😎✌️
I’ve been jamming with some friends and making some good old fashioned metal. People say my style is unlike any metal being played today. I enjoy these videos although I don’t know much about the things you talk about but the more I watch, the more I learn.
Trendkill Gaming man those lessons are fucking gold. Get yourself some essential theory and you’ll totally understand about the things in the video so you can make EPIC MUSIC.
For long time I've play guitar still can't play solo.. And now i found your channel i can learn and practice slowly. Good content actually, you earn new subscriber from me. Thanks
My absolute favourite guitar lesson channel - thank you so much! This lesson is amazing, really unlocks the fret board and overall approach to lead playing.
I just made a donation to your channel - the quality of this lesson is just insane! It's very hard to believe that you put out such lessons for free. Thank you so so much! Goes without saying, your style is just the best!
Thank you Mike!!! It's such a blessing that I bumped into your tutoring guitar lesson. can't believe all the videos are in such patience and careful breakdowns. I wish I can grow up with your lessons very soon. before your sharing, guitar virtuosos are such great myth to me. can't imagine how to figure out so many frets on the neck. now you're bringing the light. great thx!!!
Man this lesson was fucking epic just like your other lessons. You open my eyes to the endless possibilities on guitar. I love music theory so much because of you. The channel deserves more subscribers. Love you so much man. Please don’t stop making videos. They’re too fucking good for youtube. Cheers
this channel along with jake's @signalsmusicstudio are probably the 2 channels i have seen to-date that immediately grabs my attention and burning desire to pick up and play after a few mins into the video ... amazing
Fascinante, Gracias por compartir este excelente material, realmente no tiene desperdicio. Es digno de analizar e ir aprendiendo al mismo tiempo. Te felicito!!
after studying your lesson I listen to era" my favorite rock\metal solos from the "classic 80's era" like Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast album; especially the interlude middle section of their song "The Prisoner" and have a much better understanding of how they constructed their harmonic melodies and complementary solos. I feel smarter now, thanks :)
beautiful, thx, tried to put that note as guitar tuning (open tuning extended chord e.g. D3 F3 A3 C4 E4 G4), the result is reduce finger stretching (chord, extended chord and scale)
@@fretjamguitar have the image of the chord and scale from that tuning, can share if you want imagine play minor ninth eleven chord just using 1 finger, or playing scale just using 4 finger in 4 adjacent fret (no finger stretching)

I've been meaning to slip this in somewhere, maybe in a broader dominant 7th arpeggio lesson. The way I understand it is you play a dominant 7th arpeggio on the #4 of the dom7 chord you're playing over (e.g. C#7 over G7), which gives you a lydian dominant flavour. Very cool sound!
Get some fret board graph paper and physically write down all the notes in C Major/A minor. Write the actual note names over the string and between the frets. Then divide them up into all 7 scale positions. Not only will this teach you all of the shapes of the diatonic keys, it also teaches you the shapes of all 7 modes. Even if you can't afford to buy the graph paper, just use a ruler to draw the 6 strings of the guitar and all the frets. You want to end up with this: i.pinimg.com/originals/81/1f/4e/811f4ef35fc3b1e66b03702d665e7f3a.png But don't just copy that, use the whole and half steps method of the Major scale (whole = 2 frets, half = 1 fret): starting with the root note C, then whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step. This will force you figure it all out on your own so you will never forget them. It may seem like a lot of work at first, but once you get into it it starts getting really easy real soon. More importantly, it provides a solid foundation for all music theory.
Thanks for a great lesson and very comprehensive free resource. I have one innocent question: why does the road map stop short of the 13th or 6th? Just struck me that the scale has seven tones and the arpeggio road map only six.
Good question. I did consider including the 13th in this lesson. However I've noticed that the 13th as a colour tone requires a little more "special treatment" in a minor context that would warrant its own lesson. In short, I wanted to keep this lesson as accessible as possible. Two main points on this... 1) If you're playing in natural minor, as with most minor keys, the 13th/6th on the tonic would be b13/b6. Whereas in jazz the 13 is favoured over b13 on the tonic (implying Dorian rather than Aeolian). Also, let's say we were moving to vi in a major key. How we treat the 13th on that vi depends on the flow/implications of the backing harmony, and we may simply want to omit it and keep things more ambiguous in a lot of cases. So there needs to be an awareness of context and how the backing harmony is formed before the 13th is used. 2) Minor 11th can be reharmonised in a natural minor (and relative major) key. You can position the same minor 11th pattern on the minor tonic through the changes. This was demonstrated from 11:16. The 13th would then become an exception, and more specific to Dorian, which again I thought would be best left for another time (e.g. modal arpeggios).
@@fretjamguitar Thank you very much for replying. You are obviously a true expert on how all this theory goes together. I had a feeling that the sixth was a little bit of a wildcard when used in a minor context. I know that in the m6 chord a tritone is formed between the minor third and the Major sixth note, which I believe accounts for some of the special qualities this chord seems to display. It is also an inversion of a m7b5 chord and I find myself using m6 arpeggios in all inversions in a number of contexts, like, as you say, when the flavour is Dorian, but also over Dominants to create that 9th sound. Thanks again for a great resource, after nearly 40 years playing I am only just starting to make these connections....
What is the best way to practice this type of thing? Do you start out by playing the whole 6 string arpeggio or just the 3 note section? Just a little confused on the specific patterns that are needed to learn this
Hi really inspiring examples. Can you tell me what kind of equipment you play? I like the clear sound of the solos. I ask because the tone is pretty close to my perfect idea of a lead sound. Cheers 😎-/,,/
Please please can u make basic to advance lesson to understand easily for a beginner like me. I want to learn but i didn't found any good or genuine source.
Still cannot believe that this is such an underrated channel, every video is filled with gems of theoretical wisdom.
Thank you Alec that means a lot.
@@fretjamguitar who says its under rated lol
What underrated? It's got quarter of a million subscribers and counting...

fretjam sure man! Slight typo on the tab at 10:44 - the first note is E, the 5th of Am, so it should by 9 on G string, right?
Oh I just put that in there to make sure you were paying attention ;)

Fenomenal como siempre, se hechaban de menos!!!
As usual a brilliant lesson. So eye opening . These tuts come along at the momentI I need them the most. Spooky.
0:45 That was a FILTHY lick! Bravo on that, my good man...
Agreed. That was a sweet set of note selections.
That is a massive Larry Carlton influence there, sick playing

Fantastic lesson!!!! Cant wait for this concept over major and dominant chords!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you sir.
Superbly clear lessons. Thank you.
That's some good information.
I feel like I’ve just seen through the door to a magical kingdom. Need to practice!
