Total game-changer! Cannot wait to implement to help reprogram the years of scale pattern memorizations. Ready to get to work! Thanks for the lesson, Charlie.
Thanks for the nice comment and all the best with your playing!!! 🎸
This is THE LESSON to gain mastery over scales with knowledge of notes, triad, arpeggio, modes all getting ingrained in our minds...Thank you so much Sir..
Wow - thank you for the amazing comment!! 🎸🔥🎶🔥🎸
Yep agree the major scale. Eddie Van Halen played a lot in the Major scale ❤️🙏💯🎸🎸
Perfect for progress, I definitely need to do this.
Thanks you great lesson 😊
Thanks!
Thanks for this. I know all those positions, but had never done this drill before.
I've been watching a lot of great guitarist.and getting a lot of good stuff..your pace of instruction for the beginner like me is great your energy is positive.you alrite by me charlie..thanks for putting yourself out for guys like me.
Thanks for watching and letting me know! 🔥🎸🔥🎸
This video is excellent! I have been doing something similar, but in one position running through each triad and mode. Your exercise will be very helpful in putting all together and branching out across the guitar neck - thank you.. I have subbed ;)
Was just practicing this scale . Haven't even watched yet. But from what I've seen I know it's going to be good. Ty for your time.

By happenstance (or algorithm) I was gifted your 7th's two notes per string lesson. I had an instant connection with you and your teaching method. Glad to find this one hit my bell notification next day. Thank you so much for what you do. I started late but am making up ground thanks to you and others out on UA-cam. I really appreciate the style you present and the content you're teaching.
This is awesome - comments like this make all the work that goes into these videos worthwhile!!
Great stuff!!!

Tanks Charlie verry instructive :)
So glad you liked it!!! 🎸🔥🎸🔥
Thx for your videos. So great!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!! 🎸🎶🔥
This is exactly what I was looking for! Such happenstance, Clear, concise, to the point, and mapped out. You, Sir, have the formula for your students success. I'm ashamed to admit how much time and money I've put into dead ends. Thanks for the light. Subbed. Let's Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@CharlieLongGuitar Keep 'rm coming.
Great video Charlie! 🎸🎶🎶
Thanks Rich - always means a lot coming from you 🔥🎸🔥🎸
Great video my brother. I was looking for a different exercise involving not only major scales but with triads as well. Thank you so much. Looking forward for more educational videos like these.
Love it - I aim to please! Keep rockin’ 🎸🎶🎸🤘🏻🎸
This is really a great tool, the exercise actually sounds musical. The best takeaway for me is startling to associate mode/scale names with triads!
Thanks for taking the time to comment!!
A great lesson🔥💯🎸💥
Thanks so much!!! 🎸🔥🎸🔥
I have that same exact guitar. PRS McCarty 594 faded
Thank you Charlie for this wonderful lesson. It is just what I needed. I was looking for a way / exercise to help me tie all the information I have been learning together so I can recall and use it. This will do it for me. God Bless you!
What a great comment and I’m so glad it’s helping!! 🎸🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥

Wow, what a great lesson
Thanks 🙏- really happy you liked it 🎸🔥
@@CharlieLongGuitar Yeah, I've been playing for about two months, and I've learned the Pentatonic scale a few modes, and three fingering patterning. The common things is my fingering is slow, and I am trying to jazzy up things with backing tracks. I know I'm only just on my guitar journey. I like how you said if you're going to do it let's do it right. That's been my motto for a while and a hard standard to live up too. However at 65 I want to get it and get it fast. I'm adding your method in my training. Thanks Charlie.
nice workout Charlie ! Additional benefit would be that we easily visualize modes scales, dorian would be scale fingering from A, mixo from D etc. I suggest you the same lesson for harmonic minor some time..Best regards from Sarajevo-Bosnia
Glad you enjoyed it and that’s a great idea!!! Great to hear from Bosnia!!!!
“But I don’t wanna work!!” 😞
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 😊 decades of “playing by ear” only gets you so far.
Combine a little theory with a good ear - it’ll go far! 🎸🎸🔥🔥
@@CharlieLongGuitar “you said a mouthful there little brother!” That’s a fact sir. I started getting into piano and keys when my son started really excelling and he began by ear as well with natural advantage like me. But he was starved to know what and why and got into theory and challenged me to do so with keyboard and guitar. It has helped exponentially on both instruments.
I was waiting for a demo on how you use this to solo
Mr.Long we appreciate the free lessons, but some of us we are beginners, your examples, its just a suggestion try to make them in the key of C it makes comprehension much easier. I am watching from Africa.
Thanks for the suggestion and so great to hear from Africa!!! 🎸🎶🔥🎶🎸
Its a good start, i wish someone had mentioned it before
Thanks for watching and commenting 🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸

Love it!! Thanks for watching!! 🎸🎶🔥🎶🎸
I’m going to make one of these videos lol. I learned all the patterns and tried to play for years and years but I was tone deaf as a haddock. I was playing major chords over the minor scale. Still through that my ear slowly developed but ? I think you have to hear it and how exactly to get that across in the fastest way possible? IDK.
Cheers from Ireland I do know a lot of scales but putting them into a musical context is challenging I’m learning all the notes in the fretboard at the min I do know 1 5.and 6 string I mostly play finger style but really want to master the whole fret board so I can solo and do fills on a second guitar track on pro tools .. thanks for lesson cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪 Brian 🎸🎸
Cheers Brian! Thanks for stopping by and best wishes for your playing!!
Nice shirt 😎
:54 Yes...had to stop there.
Awesome!
Very interesting way to look at this. The 7dim always confuses me though. The 4 notes would be F#, A, C and E flat but E flat is not in the Gmaj scale. Can you explain? Thanks!
Great question….F#m7b5 would be the 7th chord in the key of G and all those notes WOULD be diatonic to G. F#dim7 has the bb7 because we stack m3rds starting with F#
As soon as I learn one scale pattern and associated chords, I forgot other scales I learned and other chords. It’s like the movie “Memento”🤣
Just keep drilling it - it’ll all come together 🎶🎸🎶🎸
Did you sharpen the F in the Am & C major scales on purpose as well as the flattened C in Bm ? I see everything fits the G major scale this way.
Right on. The entire video is using the G major scale
Is this common practice to stay in the scale and not to use exact cord notes? Does this also apply to minor scales?
A bit confused. Do I play the green notes first, then the black notes. Great exercise, I am sure, just need to dum it down a bit. Thank you for the help.
For sure!!! The green notes are the triad…play those first. Then play both black and green descending back to the starting point 🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥
Best video I've seen so far - and now, it clicks! That Eureka moment where modes and scales make sense. If Major is position 1, starting the scale from position 6 gives a natural minor scale etc. One shape to rule them all, Major :P Never even considered learning the triad relationships within the scale before, until now - this is incredible work! Thank you!!!
Comments like this make my day/week. I always wonder if people are really “getting” it…. You certainly did my friend! Thanks for letting me know!! 🔥🎸🔥🎸
3:41
I did not understand when you explain G triad and then the next note in the scale is E ?
3:41
So we’re playing the G triad which has the notes G, B and D. The next note in the G major scale after D is E.
Why is the pattern for the A and B minor different? And when you got to the 6th the pattern matched the 3rd? Thanks!
Good question!! That’s just the way the G major scale lays out because of the different spacing between the intervals. When you shift to different starting notes the fingerings change.
The one that I was a bit confused about is the diminished chord & scale. You used F# diminished but then ran a major scale from it. Why wouldn't you use the diminished scale?
GREAT question.... we're using triads, not 7th arpeggios here so we're using an F# diminished triad which is in the key of G major. If we were using 7th arpeggios, we'd actually play F#m7b5 which is in G major also
More interested in diminished and augmented scales. I guess you will say we need to know the major to then go other scales. A bit like always going to the same street corner in a town and then navigating from that point.
Rhythm
10hrs a day every day for a year will make you better.
Yep that’ll do it 😂
I don’t get what is being played. When I play the major scale I am not playing A B and C stretched out on one string. I follow the pattern of the actual scale which typically only has 2 notes played on the low e string. I’ve never had to stretch from A B C like that when playing a pattern.
Thanks for the comment!! There are MANY ways to play scales; not 1 “actual” pattern. There are times I play 4 or even more notes on a single string (with tapping and slides). Always keep your mind open - learning new stuff is the spice of life!! Rock on!!! 🎶🎸🤘🏻🔥
LOL I think I just invented the 2 note triad.
Hey Charlie is that your normal way of holding your guitar ?
You mean in the middle of my lap rather than one leg or the other? It is - feels most balanced to me. Also the guitar is in about the same place as when I stand up and play. Hope that’s what you were asking 🔥🎸
@@CharlieLongGuitar yes sir that's what I was asking it's the best way for me as well due to right shoulder problems, thanks for responding and the lessons you provide.
Please don’t lean too heavy on your guitar neck. Anyway, I enjoyed the lesson.
You do obviously the patterns. But it is not about patterns is it. One should figure out oneself where the scale notes are, right?
Cool comment. It’s about going beyond patterns and even more than the names of notes… it’s internalizing the sound of all the intervals. Chord tones in the arpeggios and other scale notes in the patterns.
@@CharlieLongGuitar Ohh thank you. A very valuable answer.
I am waiting for my brain to jump to thinking in notes. I am a math guy… I think of everything in numbers, in this case I think of everything in terms of scale degrees/intervals. I wish I could think in terms of notes. Yet another project. 😮
@@doubled5383 nothing wrong with that!!! If you can find your roots it’s all intervals from there - great way to view the fretboard!!
And with feeling
THANKS FOR THIS LESSON!!! [IMHO: I DON'T LIKE THE "TONE" OF YOUR GUITAR!!]...
Glad you liked the lesson 🎸🎶🎸🎶
