    I’ve been playing for 52 years, mostly self taught until I started watching online videos this past year. I’ve learned a lot and easier ways to play the fretboard. I watch a lot of beginner videos and see things I’ve missed over the years. Thank you!

    going a bit fast. If I might suggest slowing down a bit with the finger stuff. So those of us older guys can grab it easier. But other than that and having to watch t several times for the finger positions, great lesson!

    I've been playing acoustic for 40 years and I have always stayed away from soloing up the neck because I thought I would never understand it. I made it a goal this year to open up my mind and see If I can learn it. This video has kicked a door open that is long overdue. I have 4 original albums worth of cowboy chord songs and I'm finally excited again about playing guitar. I have always loved Clapton's melodic soloing and I think I'm gonna make a run at it. I could hear my solos in my head but really never learned how to navigate it. Thanks Dude. Keep up the good work.

      @@thedeathcake I’m a self taught rhythm guitar player that is still fairly new. I can play a half dozen chord shapes reliably but haven’t been able to find a lesson on pentatonic scales that makes sense to me. I don’t have a music background so when I hear people jumping around and talking about this note or that note, I gloss over because I don’t understand the basics. I’d really love to learn to play some lead guitar one day or pick up a guitar with someone else playing rhythm and be able to adlib into it and jam together. This video goes over a lot of things quickly that I just don’t have the basic knowledge of.

    Sean, the only reason that I clicked on this video was to leave a note that these clickbait titles, "A Simple Guitar Trick You'll Never Forget" are super unhelpful.

    Hey Sean - this was a pretty great lesson...I find symmetric or at least somewhat repeating patterns like that a lot easier to process as a long time beginner. From the standpoint of using these in a musical context, how would you recommend practicing them ? (i.e. stick with one key and work on specific chord progressions at various portions of the fretboard or go thru the maj/min chords & patterns within each key sequentially ?)

Should have been learning this stuff with paid lessons as a kid then maybe it would have stuck with me. Pentatonic what?? Is there vodka in it? At 58, I'm going to have to stick to my strumming and limited picking and call it good. Old dog, new tricks sort of thing. But I do like dreaming that someday I could play like that.

    Have to agree with the comments about singers. My wife is a singer with the unique gift of being what I call "Key Fluent", doesn't matter what key we play she starts singing in that key (she's amazing, also, btw). I, too, do vocals, but I am aware of my key limitations. Fortunately, by also playing rhythm guitar I am able to transpose to a key that keeps people from throwing fruit at me. And, BTW, she does help with setting up and tearing down.

    My choir director (CD) commented once that just get the singers they may not know the theory. With our core choir, they all know the theory and I am trying to catchup. My range? Top end is 1st string open E or F, but the CD pushes me to G before falsetto. Lower end is about G or A 6th string frets 3 and 5. I am enjoying learning the different keys of the songs we sing and learning the fret board by playing the tenor notes. I use a 1963 Mel Bay Bass Method - 1 book for reference to the 3, 4, 5, 6 string notes mapped to the bass clef excluding the transpose assumption. Sliding rules guitar is helpful as well.

    Dang SEAN! This TOTALLY blew up my brain too! Yeah, it must just be something about how some of our minds conceptualize shapes in the fretboard.
    I’ve had the minor pentatonic under my belt for a long time, but had been thinking of it mainly in the scope of soloing. It was never really “connected” into my chord or rhythm work. Simply by re-framing the shape of it - POW! It slips right into rhythm/strumming/chord playing and becomes a completely fluid extension that is now always right there and available.
    It’s AMAZING the way there can occasionally be major changes in how we see something we’ve already been looking at for ages.
    I’m shaking my head at MYSELF for not seeing this one before.
    But hey… better late than never, right?!
    100 extra thanks for this one!
    The first 100 were for the introduction to that lovely new Gretsch you got and demoed just recently.

    Singers doesnt know what they are doing is 90 percent right. Because they don´t see their voice as an instrument like a piano or guitar where you can play your notes. Its often that singers just work with their emotions and try out which song they can sing. But when they dive into musictheorie they quickly discover that they could sing every song when transcribing it into their favourite key.

    I use elixir, but I just call it bourbon...So, not to toot my own horn as a kickass guitarist, but I began at an early age playing to LP`s & learning by ear.
    My music theory is limited to a few early years with a great music teacher in public school & a little bit of mentoring from bandmates that actually trained.
    My training is natural ear training & I know cacophony when I hear it.
    I find notes & chords instantly, but I can`t necessarily explain it well to others verbally .
    Even so, I played professionally & toured for decades & have performed for audiences exceeding 10k.
    Now I have grandchildren & I`m attempting to put them on a musical path.
    So, I need to talk the talk for the walk I`ve walked.
    This is why I watch your beginner videos.
    Still, it`s a lot of Wa Waa & I like to have fun.
    So, I`ll end by shouting; GIRLY HANDS!

Just out of habit and the promise of longevity every time I buy, I buy pollyweb, but am always Nanoweb curious.In your opinion, do you find nanoweb is better quality sound, or what is it about nanoweb that is worth sacrificing length of use and having to change your strings less often that Pollyweb offers?
