"The answer is not in scales, its not in modes. Its most likely in the underlying chords". -- I wish it hadnt taken me 25 years to learn this lesson. If you are a young guitar player, listen to this advice. It is sooooo important.
lucky you! I'm 59 this year...I've had lessons for a few years and had been been noodling since I was 15...what was i doing....but hey... I love music...from this moment I'm sounding musical and feel invigorated...Thanks heaps Brian
I learnt at music school all my 5 scales shapes, modes, then all the arpeggios with each scale. Then practiced it around the cycle of 4ths. Hence allowing me to apply them all together. This was a great way of learning them! We learnt all our chord shapes too which helped a little. So many ways to learn
You are definitely one of the best teachers I have ever seen. And your in depth vids are brilliant please do not worry about the running time because there are many of us that really appreciate your work.
another method for this, i think i seen it in some jazz theory type books, is to learn your notes, then you can see all the inversions and extensions from any shape, for example:, you know where your 1, 3, 5, 7, etc.., are, so you have the 1 shape, root on low string, then you move all the notes up or down, and you move all the other notes up or down, and you get your inversions this way, it's pretty much like caged, only you see it differently, and helps you find extensions easier if you know this instead of just memorizing the shapes without context, if you move your 1 note up to the third, your third up to the 5, and your 5 up to the one you get an inversion, do it again for another inversion, this is also used for finding them drop voicings and other fun stuff
I love the idea of learning the shapes of the arpeggios in a pattern, simple but how helpful! I always have a hard time remembering the arpeggios, but now you gave me a path. A HUGE thank you!
As usual Brian, your lessons are first class and your explanations are easily understood. Your previous 45 min lesson on the circle of fifths was “brilliant “ and is must viewing for anyone needing or wanting to understand how valuable an asset it is. Cheers from Oz
Brian, you have the Midas touch with regard to introducing pure genius into all your tutorials. This particlular one resulted in yet another enjoyable stroll through the garden of fretboard theory ..... well done mister!! Stay safe buddy ... look after your lovely family.
Brian I can't thank you enough. Your videos is very educative. I was giving up on learning guitar then somehow I ended up in your channel. Stuffs is easier to learn and your explanation very logical. I spent a few days learning about pentatonic scale, finding chord and im making some progress. Again I thank you for all your valuable lessons. Respect
Each time I watch one of your lessons I see something(s) bringing a new insight to what I already know.In other words every time I watch you I improve. It's not just what you cover or just how you deliver it, its how you hang ' the knowledge' together. Thanks Brian.
This video presents excellent content! Great explanation, applied knowledge, visuals to follow, great demos, breaking up complexity into digestible chunks, creating musical ideas with the educated material and always summaries of what was taught. A great example of useful content and outstanding teaching. Thank you!
Superb, just as usual. Thank you very much Brian. This is very comprehensive lesson with strong visual pictures that can be easily memorized. The way you explain, is very simple and can not be missunderstood like real engineer. Thank you Brian. Cheers from Indonesia.
I've been looking for appeggios tips for awhile and this is the best explanation. I've already started adding them on different chord progressions. Hope to be using on My improv soon...
I'm not a guitarist but just by watching this lesson, I can be a guitarist if I want because Brian has made it so clear and interesting. I don't want to be a master of all instruments but I will always recommend Brian to any guitar aspirant who wants to know about how to navigate the fretboard. I, actually, have learned so much about guitar from this lesson. Brilliant!!!
great video been reading music theory but i9 think i learn more in this video about building chords than everything ive seen. your visuals finally made a lot of it click awesome video
god brian, youve been busy! im a come back and watch this properly later on.. thanks mate! not long before 100k subs, what an achievement for a guitar channel that isnt all about showing off gear and flexing! much prefer this approach, best channel on the tube. love from uk
like everything it usually takes multiple examples of concepts ( caged shapes etc ) given by various people , this is definitely one that has given me another ah ha moment cheers mate much appreciated
🎸Been avoiding Arpeggios for a long time. Then I saw you had a little course on and I thought I'd check it out. Happy I did!! Now I need to redo some earlier solos. But worth it. Feel a lot more secure in what I'm doing! Thanks Brian...You're the best!!
I've been playing for almost 4 years... I e learned everything from youtube vids. I am certain I could have shaved at least 1 year off of hitting road blocks if I'd known about your channel sooner. You are really good and teaching theory with your tutorials. Keep em coming!..l😊
Your pretty awesome brother... I couldn’t figure that one out by myself... great stuff..... side note : my circle of fifths Tatoo that I have on my arm ... every one thinks it’s cool.. but to me it’s a symbol of dedication and what I want ...thanks again brother...
Really beautiful things can come out of simple methods. In a club, if a guitarist were playing those arpeggios over the changes, a typical listener might feel that he was listening to a genius, somehow playing just the right notes all over the fretboard. If you know what you are doing, it doesn't have to be difficult to be effective.
Ok I'm 45 years old and tried to learn the caged system through books and other players and not once was it explained like you did. I finally understand it and can practice it thanks too you! It's true...if you can't explain something simply so a child could understand then you really don't understand it yourself. You my friend understand...great lesson!
A thought about the studio tour... A good 5.1 sound system is something I never see in anyone's home studio. It's my favorite component in mine. I've got the Logitech Z5500 and I can peel the paint off the walls when I play the lead in We Are the Champions, LaGrange, etc. I've also got the Indio and the Monterey for regular practice. I don't think either is still being made but both have superb range. Rock on brother! 🤟
Great lesson. to be able to play arpeggio looks easy because its only the notes of a chord but to be able to use them all over the neck you need to know alot of theory you need no all you key signatures all you chord progressions and the caged system you need to know where all the notes are on the fret board and you need to know how a chord is constructed it's alot of work I do think that learning all of this will unlock soo much on the fret board a great way to learn to play guitar and to unlock the fundermentals of music theory . Hats off to you Brian this is a fantastic lesson and a very important one .

@@Petrozini3 if you have got joy out of noodling those years, nothing has been wasted.

I'm in the same boat. I'd been playing for 30+ years before I figured this out! In retrospect, it seems obvious, but...
@@wadesharp11learneD
This video should be required viewing for every guitar player on earth.
no shit
Yup
I have "sadly but Gladly" learned more the first 10 minutes than in 5 years... Thank You so much!!!!
Amazing channel Brian! There isn't to many people that can teach like that (especially music theory) perfect 👌.
Is there a name for the backing track ??
You are definitely one of the best teachers I have ever seen. And your in depth vids are brilliant please do not worry about the running time because there are many of us that really appreciate your work.
True
Matt blumenfeld is pretty good too
Go to theory guy, right here. Undisputed.
Clear, concise and I never hit any paywalls.
I’m gonna join up. You deserve it.
Much luv
Thanks man. Much appreciated!
Dude why is this so simple and people tend to explain it like it's quantum physics. Well done for this video.
another method for this, i think i seen it in some jazz theory type books, is to learn your notes, then you can see all the inversions and extensions from any shape, for example:, you know where your 1, 3, 5, 7, etc.., are, so you have the 1 shape, root on low string, then you move all the notes up or down, and you move all the other notes up or down, and you get your inversions this way, it's pretty much like caged, only you see it differently, and helps you find extensions easier if you know this instead of just memorizing the shapes without context, if you move your 1 note up to the third, your third up to the 5, and your 5 up to the one you get an inversion, do it again for another inversion, this is also used for finding them drop voicings and other fun stuff
You're so damn good at knowing what I don't know, and explaining it a way that 'clicks'. Thanks, Brian!
I'm a scale guy, I definitely need to use arpeggios more. This is a comprehensive guide on how to do it. Thanks Brian.
Another terrific lesson Brian. So glad I signed up with you. You really get down to it and make it all approachable and doable. Thanks.
Thanks again Brian! this is a splendid and musical way to practice. Please keep them coming!
This is an incredibly helpful video. It has complete information without being overwhelming. Super valuable! Thanks!
I love the idea of learning the shapes of the arpeggios in a pattern, simple but how helpful! I always have a hard time remembering the arpeggios, but now you gave me a path. A HUGE thank you!
Great explanation on the topic of chord tones. Best video I have seen on mixing chord tones and scales. Thank you Brian.

Thank you very much Brian
Awesome 👌 👏 lesson.This would have taken many years to figure this out.You rock Brian.Your effort has helped me a lot on my comps.
I have loved this lesson, it's been unbelievably helpful to me, Brian your lessons are superb!!
This is the best ever presentation of a concept and uncovering of the arpeggio pathway within the CAGE/scale system.
Each time I watch one of your lessons I see something(s) bringing a new insight to what I already know.In other words every time I watch you I improve. It's not just what you cover or just how you deliver it, its how you hang ' the knowledge' together. Thanks Brian.

You are one of the best teachers I've seen. Thank you for this.
Thank you Brian, it is another GREAT understanding lesson. Have a wonderful day.

Heart Felt Thank YOU Brian for the F Major & C Major Layouts. Why it has taken me 1-1/2 yrs to learn the notes on the Fretboard from a 2016 Stroke.

Thanks for this vid..I really want to get into arpeggios hardcore and this look like a great place to start !

I don't think either is still being made but both have superb range. Rock on brother! 🤟
very nice tutorial... thanks you. for arpeggio..
This is enlightening!
thanks so many.. you are really good in teaching.. you are certified guitar teacher
