Thanks!!!
Im a member of your website, I like your teaching style, you explain how it feels to play something, as opossed to a dry exercise. Works well for me and this is a master level lesson, keep them coming...
Same here. I've been a member of the website for something like 2 years now and it's the best way I've ever spent money.
WoW. Great !!!
Man... after doodling for a while with this 'shape', what came out is basically Fear of the Dark. Even the prelude to the solo, the main riff and more... I feel like a genius and a dummy at the same time. Thanks, Mike
I love how you're a complete virtuoso and still can explain these things for beginners to understand.
I read the comments and I didn't want to believe it... but...
A month ago, I watched this video because I knew I needed to open up my abilities.
Today, I can do things I never thought I'd be able to do, and I've just finished recording an album that's been brewing in my head for a decade.
Thanks my dude. I hope this video and your channel get all the views.
This tip will help guitarists all over the world navigate the fretboard and reach new heights... From those same guitarists, thank you for making our lives a little bit easier 🎉🎉🎉. I wish I had this information years ago when I started playing.
It amazes me that you know the guitar this well and then do lessons for the drums
You have natural talent brother !
Thank you for an EXCELLENT tutorial and demonstration!!!! Even though I play bass, this is really good information that I can use!
Real talk, the reason I keep coming back to your lessons is mostly your tone, real full sound while still sounding like it would work in a mix
Only just started guitar almost 2 months ago and every time I'm ready to progress, you come through ready for my next step! Absolutely brilliant thank you Mike.
If you get this down you'll be light years ahead of your peers. It works .
I have learned a LOT of great of stuff from you - you're not JUST a great player - you seem genuinely humble AND you truly come accross as honestly trying to help people not only become better players - but have fun doing it !! You're a treasure to the community my friend and I finally subscribed after "liking" every video I've ever watched from you - sorry I kept forgetting to hit "subscribe" after all the "likes"...but I took care of that this time !! Thanks for all you do for us "regular" players...and keep up the great work !!
OMG 😳 you just opened my eyes to the Fretboard … I have been playing for over a year . And with just this one video I feel like I improved 100 times ! Thanks
Started this lesson this morning and it is an excellent way to help me break out of the pentatonic of which I play quite well. My brother who is just beginning to learn guitar is doing well in your beginners course that he signed up for just a couple of weeks ago. Can't wait for him to get to the level when we can play together and your course is just the ticket! Thanks!
Mind blown!
I've been playing since Xmas & I've got to say, I've learned SO much from you in the last month or so that I feel I owe you a beer or something.
I've spent my whole life avoiding the guitar (I used to joke the last thing the world needs is another mediocre guitarist) thinking it was too complicated & wasted my life on wind instruments but I've discovered it's actually kind of easy, thanks to UA-cam (this channel in particular), bloody-minded obsessiveness & the way the guitar is laid out.
Thanks again for demystifying an old nemesis.
I've actually had my mind blown 3 times by this video. Not only am I seeing patterns in the fretboard I never knew were there for the first time but I have come to the sudden realization of why guitarists use TAB. I always thought it was just a shortcut for all the guitarists who couldn't read regular music notation but I see now, with the same notes appearing so conveniently across the neck, it is sometimes necessary to show which one to play!
And I just attempted a bit of a solo over the backing track, which is NOT something I thought I'd even be considering after 7 months... Mind seriously blown!
Thanks for your help!
Thank you so much for this lesson. Once i realize I was playing ABCDEFG, where the G connects to the next, the fret board just opened up for me. For years I’ve been playing on and off with only chord shapes at the top of the neck. I have a hard time memorizing the note of each fret for each string. This puts everything in perspective. Awesome video.
From the perspective of someone who has been a professional guitarist for 24 years, well done! I love watching your videos. You are a great teacher, and you deliver interesting content, in general. I feel like your channel is making a great contribution to our instrument. I pick up a thing or two from you. You rock!
Damn that’s really cool and it makes sense as well, I broke my left hand 2 weeks ago and have been watching a lot more theory videos, can’t wait to get all my fingers back on my fretting hand to try this.
Damn!! I've been playing rhythm for years and struggling with trying to play lead and tried just about everything, this helped me more than ANYTHING EVER!! WOW!!! 🙏❤️💥🔥🔥🔥🔥Thank you thank you thank you thank you. Just AWESOME!! It was a blessing to find you my friend, you have a new subscriber and follower for life!!!
As a bassist 1st i never played scales in the conventional way guitarist do... so i was hip to these shifts early on, thanks for the great content!! really liking your channel!!
My brother you are the best guitar teacher i have ever seen.The only way that i learn is by watching your videos .
Keep doing what you're doing🔥💯
I like the you teach straight time before “trilling” , or speed picking.
trem picking is one of my favorite techniques to use
Love this. I'm going to have to give it a go. I've been playing for 20 years and mostly just noodle around now and then. This looks like something that will be good exercise for my hand and help me learn the fretboard more accurately. I used to play the tenor saxophone when I was in school, and could play every note and follow along with sheet music and do all of that. Then I started playing guitar, and it just felt overwhelming, as there's so many note opportunities. I learned power chords and that's about where I plateaued. I did write some cool songs though.
As a side thought, I've always wondered why there aren't any teachers that use a go-pro or similarly mounted camera to look at the fretboard as you see it while playing (I haven't actually looked, but I'm sure there are a few). I think that might help a lot of people have aha moments. The traditional way, some people have a hard time translating the mirrored movements into their own hands. From a player POV, they could learn and see it as they would play it. It's an interesting concept that might catch on. Anyway, thanks for all you do!
Great exercise for learning and linking boxes. I found what helped me was to start the box on the root note. I know to play the D box, I need to be on the 10th fret and the e at the 12th. Thank you so much. You are a very good teacher Mike
When you play the solos at the end, I kick the playback speed up to 1.75 & it sounds AMAZING!
Pianists: look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power
Just a meme, great video tho
😂 I bet you're a pianist
Just what I've been wanting to work on lately and, BAM!
Thank you Sir!
Excellent lesson! If you are a rhythm player, and want to be stand out, if you do only one thing, learn this lesson!
This is a good way to do really impressive tapping solos. Christian Münzner told me "a lot of my tapping is octaves"
Think about what he said other than going to the next string after the three notes, tap the next note (that would be on the next string) but tap the same note (it will be up the next of course), pull of all the note till you get to your first note. Then you can continue normally or do the same on the next string.
so just using the first 6 notes of the Aeolian mode and shifting. Its little things like this that help open up the fret board. You can take the first 6 notes of any mode and just repeat and have some pretty cool sounds. Like taking the first 6 of the Phrygian and playing the root chord as a minor. That opens up some real Flamenco and Neo Classical type sounds! great video!
You know, that’s pretty cool
Your approach is the very best man , thanks
That's a great way of looking at things. Appreciate the help.
Dang, homie, thanks for mapping out the 321 note tab! Awesome exercise - much appreciated!
i have played guitar for over a year and a half and i’m pretty good at it but i know nothing about theory and i just make stuff up but this helps me at least get more of an understanding on how to move up and down. you are awesome man keep it up! (also please make a riff video on fail to be-Sanctus, because that intro riff is so amazing)
I found one close to this one a year ago&mixed it with blues like patterns,i'll try your is different👍thanks mike
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! This was an en extremely valuable lesson. I have "Liked & Subscribed" and I can't wait to see the next video you create. Thanks again!!!
Thank you for this excellent video. Adding this into my practice!
Absolutely awesome. Thank you for sharing your tips ❤
Thanks for the new box shape!
I learned this of off Uncle Ben awhile back. It does open up a lot of possibilities!
Super helpful! I like your style of teaching. 👏👏👏
Awesome vid. Thanks.
I needed to exactly know this! Thank you so much!
I've been watching for a few years Mike, and my playing has been more off than on, but while playing through this exercise, I started to hear familiar notes. After a few minutes I was trying to play a lick from sweet child of mine, strictly from memory since I've heard it so many times, and impressed my own self!
That's an awesome technique to drill into a student. I'm coming back to this lol good stuff
Can’t wait to try this when I get home!
Great performance....thank you for sharing .Have a nice day!
gonna practise it...thank u mike for the lesson
Great explanation on this. This technique opens up the fretboard so much. I picked up this technique from a Paul Gilbert video. I even call it the "paul gilbert octave technique." Haha. Have a good one.
This is awesome mike. Thank u so much!
Great lesson! Nice swatch man!
Thank you for this! This is such an amazing lesson and I love it so much. I've just gotten back into playing in the last couple of months and this lesson just resonates with me like crazy. I've been working on it really hard for a couple of weeks and I'm almost able to play along with the tracks at the end. I can get it at 100 - 110 bpm but I'm not quite able to get it at 132 bpm. I'll let you know when I finally nail it. Thanks again!
HOLY CRAP I JUST DID IT. I finally got up to speed! I played along with both tracks! YEEEEEEEEES 💪
I just discovered your EVH-style track, after picking up guitar playing after many years again.
I love to play with your track, although your solo is still way to crazy for me 🤦♂️
Maybe one day 🙏
Thank you so mush! 🤘
Uncle Ben Eller calls these the octave box… brilliant technique
A pretty good lesson thank you good visual of the fretboard
This is a great lesson/exercise well done mate...I have done this type of thing many times over the years...and I still want to put a maj 7th at the end of each phrase...haha...well done mate
Cheers
Great video! Thanks:) Love your channel!
There's a similar pattern that I use a lot, but it's essentially a string higher, so if I'm in E minor, I'd start with my fingers on 12 - 14 - 15 on the high E, slide down to 10, then go 13 - 12 - 10 on the B, 12 -11 - 9 on the G, slide down to 7, then 10 - 9 - 7 on the D, and 10 - 9 - 7 on the A.
I like using that 12th fret position to start with some kind of repeating lick, and then I can either stagger it as I go widdly widdly down to the 7th on A, or just whizz down in one super-fast run.
Thank you.
Great lesson 👍
thank you!
Great lesson!
Great lesson. Keep in mind there are folks who learn not only by visualization....but feel....and sound! yes 3 ways folks learn......it is usually hard to teach to another way a person learns. I know! lol (people communicate similarly Visual, auditory and kinesthetic) 🙂
Sounds cool
Young people just won't ever be able to figure in the context in which the ease of nowadays is so different than what it once was. Nice people like this young gentleman mapping it out for you in plain sight...as opposed to back in the early 1980's when I was a young lad just beginning. Where the way you learned then, with no visual reference point? You would take a "single" which was a single song on a 45 rpm record,and you would slow down your turntable to album speed which was 33 rpm and learn the notes that way. It was pretty frustrating. And hampered progress when with no visual aid,if you didn't get a certain part of the scale just right. Through practice, practice, practice....you would eventually get it. Or maybe someone a little further ahead than you might show you if you were lucky to play with someone more advanced. Or if the advanced player's ego didn't get in the way of helping you. And then after all that,you had to remember it...hopefully. Now with visual aid,you can simply pause the video ,go back,ect....All that practice back The was beneficial to helping you along,if you had it right to begin with...and that's a big "if". You really had to want it! And if you broke through,the dedication ended up showing in an emphatic eay. But with these video tutorials...it can take weeks, months,and even years off mistakes and bad habits. So it baffles me why something like hip hop for example,is still even a thing? There's no longer justifiable reasons to take the shortcuts they take in making something that is music-"ish" rather than making actual music itself. Years ago to become advanced,one would need formal instruction in either a private setting that you would pay lots of money for,or go to a music college,where you would pay even more. Trying to make "music" without understanding rudimentary concepts in how music works? It's just plain lazy. And ends up having a shelf life measured in weeks, rather than decades. If you went to the vast majority of rappers,and asked them to try something in G when they are constructing a "song",you might as well ne speaking a different language altogether to them. They'd have no clue what you were talking about.... which is silly when you think about someone trying to make a living in a field where they don't have the beginning of a clue in how it works. That's why you basically have one songwriter:Max Martin, writing literally everything regardless of genre,and it all ends up sounding exactly the same. It's why if you enjoyed Rhianna's last record? You will love Katy Perry's new one... because you've literally heard it before it was ever even recorded. Again, there's no reason for it other than being lazy. Both on the part of the artist,and the part of the listener. Everyone has settled. When they don't have to. It doesn't matter what age you are, what background you came from, what equipment you have between your legs,or what guitar you go out and buy. Everyone can do it. "Natural talent"? It's nice,but not necessary...at all. If you have ever had anyone sit you down,and explain the difference between a fantasy and a goal? That's all you need. A fantasy is thinking you can get to where you want to go in one lateral move. To go from singing half decent in the shower,to winning a hacky television talent show,and being world famous after one tryout. That's a pipe dream. Even if you are the one in a trillion people it happens to,you won't last 3 months. Working to where you want to go,in incremental steps, starting with small audiences, coming up through the club scene... bouncing ideas off the audience to find out what works and what doesn't? That's a goal. So many parents and teachers nowadays never sit people down and explain the difference. They don't want to hurt your feelings,so they would rather have you believe a lie than simply being honest. Now that you know the difference, if you didn't before....you can't say you haven't been told 😊 Knowing the difference, combined with all the luxury you have at your disposal... there's no reason for the crop of up and coming people to perpetuate the sameness of the nonsensical industry and play into the 2 minute attention span that permeates today, and the very reason nobody takes you seriously. You still have to want it,and through the proper route....I look forward to hearing what you all come up with
Thanks.. Thanks s lot......... Now I will have that melody in my head for months, it is so 'hauntingly catchy'... LMBO other than that great lesson! 😇
You are good brother
I didn’t know what they were…but I learned a this when I was young by listening to Neil Young. (PowderFinger)
This is revolutionary
This is amazing, Mike. You should definitely do this pattern in C major too. Its also makes a nice box to visualize AND it would harmonize with the A minor track.
Or even just teaching that you can adjust the 2 step elevator to just a 1 step to make harmonic minor would be pretty mind-blowing too.
I like Key of C ! It's finger licking good 🤣😂
@@AlfredHugecokk me too, especially on the piano.
Very cool thanks
Awesome Dude. Thx
Just watched some 80s music videos and came across your comment that you are the last person to find out Fridas Channel from Abba haha. Now back to great guitar lessons
Mate. Shit hot. Calm. Relaxed.
That is bad ass!
This is incredible. Really getting to my goal of being able to move around the neck freely.
If you have any more lessons on learning scales horizontally, rather than vertically, across the fretboard, I would love to see them.
So great my idol
Thanks!
good job ❤
Being a new guitarist this def gets you up and down the fret board but…..my middle finger doesn’t want to work any longer on other riffs lmao
Thank you for the lesson.
Can’t wait to get home and try this “box escape” elevator
Just wanted to say love your vids and thanks for the quality and value in each vid
5:05 - 5:08 Sounds like the main motif to 'In the Halls of the Mountain King' by Grieg before you changed the note. Makes it easier to remember! All in all a great lesson Mike good stuff
Awesome🤟
Thank you for a very comprehensive exercise that you have developed. Anyway, it is funy to see that the middle finger did not take part at all. Cheers from Indonesia.
The middle finger is like that one kid waiting to get picked for a team
I'm quite positive I have some sort of "SQUIRREL" syndrome. Trying to learn lead playing... scales, "Caged", pentatonic...etc.....I haven't tried this yet, but this seems to be something I can keep my attention focused on, and actually learn and remember....I hope! Thank you so much for your time!
learning the chorus from crystal mountain by death really nailed this shape into my fingers
That is probably my favorite Death song. Such a good song
Really make sure your guitar is tuned or this won’t sound great. (I know this is obvious for every song but it really stands out in this because of the 5th harmony effect he’s using).
Nice observation
Nice 👍
Great lesson. Been using it as my practice routine. If I join your site, will I be able to download and print out this tab. Sunday, May 21st 12:00 p.m.
Are you still on Patreon? Love the lessons!!
Wow have you been watching me practice? Lol
That's my usual go to when I play. Reminds me of bucketheads style too
Ok, you just made a fan for life with your Duncan Trussell Family Hour Patreon shirt.
Good catch!
So that's what it is! I've been trying to figure out what it is for aages haha 😂 Such a cool design!
@@TheArtofGuitar on almost every youtube video I like I seee you as a top comment... great mind Mike
Man. Where were you when I was 13? Ah, wait. You were also 13 and learning Master of Puppets from jacked up tab books. And there was no UA-cam. Or internet. Great content man.
with a little bit of getting out of the box I was able to add the past two positions in while going up. A little bit lost coming down with them though.
Something so easy but sounds good....
Awesome ideas for soloing!
Quick question. Your chord progressions are A5, F5, D5, G5, E/G#, etc., etc.
What is an A5 chord? And are they all major chords, no minors? More importantly, what is an A5 chord? I'm a little confused on that, as a basic chord already includes the 5th note of the scale of that chord. Help a brother out.
😬😬😬😊
Hey Mike wanna know more bout that bottle neck bend ! From your 4 note solo video !
3:00 I cant help but keep hearing “Dammit” on this shape lol
now I've got a déjà vu with (the beginning of) Adrian Smith's solo from »caught somewhere in time«
