Some newer guitarists may not realize the guitar is tuned illogically in 'standard tuning' - 6th through 3rd strings are tuned in fourths but then between the 3rd string and 2nd strings they are tuned as a major third. 2nd and 1st strings are tuned in fourths. This tuning can trip up a lot of players when they are starting out. I like how you decided to find a way around that discrepancy.
First time I watched this I thought hey that's interesting but I'm not at this level yet. Like many others I have my minor shape, my major shape and a few of the pentatonic shapes. Then I devoted a whole day to really listening, thinking about what he's saying, and working it out on my guitar. No, I don't have full command of the patterns yet, but I can tell you this lesson is so powerful. Maybe one of the most important I've ever seen. He didn't even discuss how you can use the different shapes over chords to get your modal sounds, which is a whole other level of value to people trying to break through that intermediate wall.
This is exactly how I practice the major scale (and all modes!). The only difference is that I use slightly different patterns (but still using hexatonic shapes) that make it easier for me to extract arpeggios. The exercises and applications shown by Shaun towards the end, are really cool and would like to start incorporating them more though!
What if i want to use "Lane" A-D and G-B? Do you have some pattern? I mean a pattern between the lane E-A and A-D for example. Because the pattern between A-D and G-B is equal.

One of the best guitar lesson video I have ever seen. I would like to give 100 👍
Rock on!
This is so great. My brain wanted to think of the fret board this way but didn't know how to say it. Thanks for the lesson.

Excellent concept! Never thought of this routine, this is very effective with fast positive results...!!!
Thank you.🤙

Great lesson. it Makes easy to memorize the Major scale all over the fretboard. Thanks.
Cool patterns, worth to learn 👍
Thats some great theory, thank you
Pure gold!
Brilliant. I need the tabs though
Love this lesson. So for minor hexatonic say Gm would I just start same pattern on each string set but start the G root note using shape 6?

How to use these patterns for creating Longer Legato Lines ?
IT'S VARG?
