If you haven't already, definitely check out www.zombieguitar.com/. It is a one-of-a-kind site dedicated to helping guitarists learn the fretboard inside and out!!
I know this sounds silly, but if possible, would you do a video on "playing around the root"? Could expand on why knowing root location is important. I can't seem to understand or get myself to "center" around the root and sometimes wonder if I even know what it means. PS. Thanks again for your work. I don't have the money to commit to a membership YET, but am interested in making a donation to the cause (so to speak). Is there a way to do that?
Ur an amazing teacher. I've been picking at trying to learn guitar for years. I really wish these types of videos were around when I was in high-school trying to pick up chick's with my over played and over practiced tabs
He's done it AGAIN! Ten mins of practising along to an a minor jam track and I've just linked up three patterns I didn't really know existed. I'm a member of his site. Highly recommended!
Just a thing I like - if you’re trying to hum the major pentatonic scale to memorize its sound, the guitar intro to “My Girl” by The Temptations is a straight up one-octave example.
Only teacher you'll ever hear tell the absolute truth. Very good patient guitar teacher respect. Open chords, bare chords, pentatonic scale patterns. This will get you going. Learn a song of your choice at your own pace (this will expose you to new techniques and then send you on another goal driven path) Modes, cage system your pretty much set. Again if your interested in shredding and tapping that's your goal driven path you will learn scales progressions and techniques specifically for that. Take your time pick your goals. Do it properly and actually KNOW it not just sort of know it.
Learning all the pentatonic scale patterns did more for my playing, than anything else. The real pay off is when you understand that the caged system is also embedded in these shapes. Been playing for 30 years, and once I learned the pentatonic scale shapes, my playing and more importantly, my understanding went through the roof. Invest some time in learning these patterns, it will yield huge rewards. Save the kittens 🐱
Appreciate you Brian. Obviously a person who has painstakingly committed to honing a musical skill, and is generously giving your hard earned knowledge to others. Appreciate your passion for the music, and for mentoring the rest of us. How refreshing. How inspiring. Good on you! P.S. save the kittens! LOL!
I agree 100%. After years of shuffling between UA-cam teachers, I use most of my time with Brian now. His website is way better now too. It's endless with info and cost so little to join.
This video allowed me to realise how bad the naming conventions are for the 5 patterns method and how "scale 5" and "scale 2" are actually the most important patterns to start with after learning the base pattern. Thanks Brian!
Recently found this channel and let me just say this blows away most of the other well known channels on UA-cam teaching similar topics. I will be spreading the gospel.
Brian, I really love this approach. As an engineer I know you're aware of systems thinking and use cases. You're explaining the use cases (playing solos, chord tone soloing, playing chords and modes) very well based on the use case of the player. This makes the guitar FAR more understandable. Understand the goal or use case before you start learning / playing is key. You've really developed a fantastic systems based approach to understanding the guitar. Fantastic! This has helped me reduce the complexity and confusion of the instrument.
What a compass. I wish everyone would watch this video early in their guitar journey, It would save a lot of time and confusion about all this and make it much less intimidating. I'm really working on my scale patterns, but it's great to see the importance of how I can used CAGED and modes and why they are really secondary and tertiary levels to achieve and work towards. Mad props for all the information!
This video could've saved me 10 years..about 30 years ago..I did it the hard way, just me and my 👂 .. swings n roundabouts I always regret not learning to read music..I hardly ever practice scales as its boring for me so never built up much speed..but like I said it took me a long time too learn what you just taught ppl in this video..diamond!
Dude been watching your videos for about two weeks now. I've been playing for three years learning songs and solos just noodling around not exactly sure what I was doing in some of the songs. This has changed my playing and understanding of the guitar so much. Its so much simpler then people make it out to be with the music theory and "modes" much appricited !
Thank you. You have validated what I figured out on my own 45 years ago. And I indeed did progress rapidly after applying this and working very hard on it. Little bit of advice for newer students: I am STILL working on this and learning from it. If you love music and love the guitar, you will never stop learning and you will ALWAYS keep coming back to the fundamentals. Peace.
One of the best channels out there. I need to set solid goals and stick to them I’m playing a long time but need to get a proper structure of practice in place and set clear goals. Thanks Brian
This lesson is gold! While I can play the all the pentatonic and diatonic scales across the entire span of the fretboard, this video still gives me plenty of insight of how to restructure my practice regimen to target specific goals to further improve my fretboard awareness. Lately I’ve been really focusing on noodling and try to continually shift through the various positions while keeping track of the root. Again, amazing lesson Brian!
Oh yes. That's a much better way of explaining it. I've heard lots of teachers say to count 3 frets back from the minor but your way is much more intuitive. Thanks a bunch Brian.
This channel is probably the most sought after goldmine of a guitar channel on this whole freaking website. Those who don't know about it are missing the collection on this channel.
This is so True not only in music but to everything in life. Most teachers will keep the Path out of our sight because this way they can teach us forever. Conflict of interest is everywhere! Thank you Brian, you are so much appreciated and I was so lucky to find you in the woods of youtube. Thousands of "teachers" are out there but you are the Real deal.
Brian I recently discovered your videos on UA-cam and you have helped me immensely. You're direct, clear, don't give to much, and don't use a bunch of terminology that "newbs" don't understand. Thanks so much.
You seem to have placed this video lesson on May 13th 2021. Which happened to be my 70th birthday. I could not have gotten a nicer present. Many thank Brian. Amazing lesson.
I'm 66 and a self taught player so I've discovered a lot of this stuff on my own. But I really like the way you present your lessons with the graphics, the simplicities and the cross referencing that you do. I'll be using your videos to see what I've missed and to fill in a few gaps. Add one subscriber!
In just a 30 minute video, you have managed to clear up tons of questions and confusion over the course of 35 years of guitar playing. Well done, sir! I will save the kittens going forward.
Hi Brian, you explain it like a real engineer, with solid base and ability to communicate simply and clearly. Very encouraging. Thank you and cheers from Indonesia.
This needed to be said. Hopefully it will stop people going off on a tangent. The easiest explanation of modes I ever heard. Great content as always Brian 👍
LOL. "a small cat dies when you answer, 'learn your modes'." i love it. best instructor on the interwebs is right here. learned so much in a few weeks devouring Zombie guitar lessons. That being said, the last 5 minutes finally got me to understand the MODES, bro!!! yeeeah!!
@@zombieguitar when you summed it up and said, 'i'm in A major and I focus on the A note, it sounds major/ionian....and when I focus on the B note using all the same notes of A major, I get a Dorian sound.....C# focus with the notes of A major, is Phrygian... That is the tip that no other guitar teachers ever point out when talking modes. Maybe some do, and I didn't catch it, but you made it make sense.
LOVE IT!!! I literally just asked this question on the Zombie Guitar Facebook group, which you should totally join if you haven't. I think this is the most personable of Brian's video's so far. I think he even started to smile once!! HAHAHA #savethekittens
I'm currently taking lessons as a beginner and learning the 5 minor pentatonic scale patterns in A minor, and my friend also a beginner with a different instructor is learning the modes first. Is his instructor wrong?
Thanks, you are an amazing teacher. Ive been learning for quite a while but got overwhelmed and your clear aproach let me see ït". Greets from the Netherlands .
ok how many of you out there like me have loads of youtube lessons from different teachers that you have saved meaning to watch one day but you are never going to do it brian hands down has the best approach , the best web site by far he knows exactly what we are trying to find and he delivers the answers time to delete 60 saved videos from other sites i'm home thanks for all the work you put into these lessons brian
I have spent years studying guitar and trying to improve. Brian is the best teacher I have found which makes it all perfectly clear for me. It is why I have purchased lifetime access on his site, joined his FB group, and subscribe to his channel. I improved more in the first 72 hours with his lessons than I have in years of searching. Wish I had this when I was a teenager trying to figure all this out. His way of explaining concepts resonates perfectly with me. So thankful I found his channel. BTW if you want to get good at Barre Chords fast, his Newbie guitar lesson plan that features the Mighty Mighty Bosstones song "The Impression That I Get" will get you there ASAP.
Brian Kelly is the best guitar teaching channel on UA-cam. Majority of the teachers, they give fish to the viewers, a small amount of good stuff that works for that time and that is pretty much it. What Brian does, it gives you a tool to catch fish yourself. It might be more difficult at times, but in the long run, the amount of knowledge you get is unbearable. I was about to quit guitar but I saw your video about learning songs by ear, which I cannot do myself yet(cause my pentatonic scale improvising sounds weird and I cannot find that perfect key), but knowing what path I need to take to achieve that (like the idea of this video) is giving me a hope that I will do that in upcoming weeks or so. Then I checked his other videos, and learned more great stuff, like formulas for any type of chord, its pure gold guys. If I would have a better salary, I would definetely join the zombieguitar. Hopefully I will be able to do that in the short future. Overall, life changing youtube channel. I dont think I can say anything like that about any other channel on youtube. Huge respect and best wishes!
One of the few teachers who really understands that the core foundation of rock guitar is blues and that is absolutely inescapable. If you want to play rock like a pro you need to be able to handle the pentatonic first, that’s more important that your guitar or your amp brand, more than attempting to play complex modes, tapping and all the fancy things. Start with the basic blues pattern and build from there.
Subscribe to this guy. I've been playing for 23 years and home boy is dropping straight facts. If you want to git gud, follow this guy. This is the quality insightful I wish I had in 02. Best teaching channel on UA-cam.
Another excellent lesson, breaking it down to build upon a solid foundation to playing. You cracked me up at the beginning when you shook your head at "modes"!!! Thanks again, Brian!!
Great work Brian. I know that this isn't for this video, but : Am is the relative minor of C major. If you look at the diagram 6:14 you can see the CAGED chords for C major and the CAGED chords for A minor buried in the pentatonic scale. Namaste x
intervals and triads was my self thought break through i found a pattern in the natural major and minor scales myself that is easy to remember for me and i know how far each "row" is apart from each other (intervals). it truly unlocks the fretboard and freedom to navigates however i want, there are no positions anylonger
Follow up.I had learned the 5 positions, the diatonic scales, upper lower extensions, blues scale, and as I play along im discovering notes by ear and connecting different patterns in different directions In 8 weeks since I started your lesson. I was just playing chords before now I can play solos. I play and practice everyday now and learn along the way.. Thank you very much Brian.❤❤❤
Great video. I now practice leads with pentatonic positions chart and triads chart for arpeggios over chords and circle of fifths chart for the backing track loop. The goal is to move beyond playing what sounds cool without knowing why and build on everything as I learn it.
Brian, You continue to be such an inspiration. On top of everything you are so prolific. I wish that I had half as much of your energy in how much work you are able to get done. Thank you so much for all that you do for so many people 😎
Amazing always …practice your 5 pattern approach scale everyday, focus on that get good at it. That’s what im gonna do. Learn this, forget about the rest for a bit and focus at this. Thank you again.
Brian Kelly in this video while you were soloing to show us how each system actually works I heard how this focused approach can help a guitarist play any style or genre of music they wanted to play or write.
Hi Brian I did place this video on my twitter and facebook account for it to be the best most comprehensive lesson ever Pent and Diatonic scales. (Actually all of your lessons are a joy to listen to and to work on. God bless you.
I just want to say Brian, thank you so much, I always though getting good at guitar was something impossible. But thank you for giving us the path towards that and simplifying it. Always thought music was something hard until I started watching your vids. U deserve more subs
Bravo Brian .... this was a fantastic consolodation of the prime topics involved when learning the guitar. You explained their format and importance perfectly .... and gave awesome additional advice with regard to current practice methods ... well done!! Have you been given a date for the kittens funeral yet?

Hm well that’s not that sensational

I highly recommend Brian’s Chord tone series. It’s the next step after pentatonics.
And the key to all of that is Octive Shapes. Learn the Octive Shapes and all the other Patterns fall into place
Totally awesome thank you so much from Warren in England 😎

@@Sled007 thanks so much!! I'm very glad to hear it!!
I fully support this statement 💯
Brian is a rock God !!!! 😎
He explains it like engineer, with solid base and ability to communicate clearly. Very encouraging coach. Cheers from Indonesia.
This is how I learned starting back in 1991. I never have heard anyone teach it like this on You Tube. Beautiful improvising over the A Minor track.
Thanks man!! 😁

Cheers man. May your tribe increase
Brian, thanks for spreading "the joy of the guitar" to so many of us. Nice work, sir.

Love this guys lessons, straight to the point and always make sense.
Explained so simply . ALWAYS points the students in the right direction. My favorite TEACHER.

Amazing lesson, thanks!
intervals and triads was my self thought break through

it truly unlocks the fretboard and freedom to navigates however i want, there are no positions anylonger
