Wow! Now that's what I've been looking for, for the 3NPS patterns. I was running up and down the scale sounding like I was playing a scale. Now with those fingerings for each root position I can play anywhere I want and it sounds more melodic and I don't get lost on the fretboard. Thanks, that was a great lesson for me!
Thx Steve. I've been making progress with 3 nps but the alphabet analogy was spot on. This was a good motivator to put the work in through a different lens.
Thank you so much for this! I have my guitar tuned in all fourths and I found the three shapes you describe there naturally (without the glitch between the 4 and 5 strings) and has helped me a lot. This video inspires me to use the same methods in the standard tuning as well, so I might come back to the standard :) Your method really makes it usable in standard tuning in a clear way. I encountered the same 'alphabet' problem with the sequences, and I managed to bypass them by using 4 notes per string with an occasional legato. The key is indeed to see the fluency between the fragments, how they overlap and connect along and across the neck. And just a general comment and gratitude: I really enjoy your videos and your calming and clear way of teaching. Your work inspires me so much and makes me want to practice better. All my best!
This is the best of the 3 note per string lessons! As I watch these it occurs to me that this works with Major keys, but what about minors? We must need to make the 3rd flat, but do we do this within the fragment?
Good timing for me at least The 3NPS is exactly what I'm working on at the moment The more I can watch and hopefully absorb, the better Now if only my fingers would go where I tell them....
Isn’t the difference between the various modes is where in the pattern of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fragments you start at? Major scale has two strings of the first fragment, then two strings each of 2nd and 3rd, followed by a wrap around to the first fragment on the top string?
Thanks again M. Gilson, I really appreciate your lessons. At the end of this video you said that this way of understanding the shapes can algo be applied on the minor scale and the modes. How can we get acces to those pdf's. Is there a video where you already explain this ???
Hi Oscar, you can find more info on this approach in the videos in this play list. ua-cam.com/play/PLG6Fv3w4O1abgZrFrGGf4MYlMHWWfU6Tv.html I've put a few videos talking about modes, but haven't really collated them in one play list. This video covers some of the concepts. ua-cam.com/video/tut04MobOm8/v-deo.html Some videos covering specific modes (I really should finish this series!) ua-cam.com/video/mwcWVpJVtO8/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/chxf7Z7EZRI/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/M6fBRyok4TQ/v-deo.html Hopefully that gives you something to work with - Steve

I thank God for this mans life. great video teacher
A lightbulb finally turned on for me because of the hidden fragments. Great lesson. Thank you!

wow... my mind is blown! don't know why no one talks about this. you sir are a blessed man and I wish you the best in the world.
Glad to help!
Thanks so much. This is amazing. I’m wondering how to keep track of the chords as I’m flying up and down with these amazing visual layout tips!
By far the best explanation of 3 nps system. Extraordinary. Thank you very much!
Happy to help Pero!
Very useful because it helps remember the shapes faster
I wish I came across this 20 years ago, thanks you so much for your insights
Great lesson thank you 🙏 for sir 😊

You're not alone, I think most people go through that phase, keep working on it and you'll get there!

Great to hear! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment, I really appreciate it!
Thanks
great series of lessons. fretboard freedom!
Awesxome, thanks a lot!
Wow, simply awesome Steve. What a tutorial. Speechless. Thank you so very much. Sincerely appreciate it.
Glad I could help
Thank you for the tips Steve!!!
Love this concept
Nice timing Steve. Doing this with my instructor just now while trying undo years of bad habits lol.
Glad to help Shaun, good luck with it!

Thank you for another fantastic lesson
Glad you liked it!

Good luck with it Damien, keep working on it.

I don't understand why this isn't taught 6 notes at a time with 7 shapes seems so much simpler
