    Hey man. I just wanted to say that I've been a subscriber for a couple months now and I can say without a doubt that this video has changed me as a player. I've been trying to study all the different scales and shapes for a little while now because I've always wanted to be able to solo over my looper pedal. Up until this point I've had only a little success because I felt comfortable in fixed shapes or spots on the neck but i found it hard to make shifting between these points seem creative and musical. After watching your lesson here I immediately went to my guitar to try out some of your ideas and for whatever reason it all just clicked! This has given me an effortless way to move up and down the neck that doesn't sound robotic or clumsy. I've been playing now for an hour straight over different chord progressions and it's honestly the most fun I've had with my guitar in a long time. I only paused my playing to make coffee and write this comment to let you know how awesome this feels! Thanks for all of the awesome content and keep up the good work! Cheers!

    This was a good video to show how to put everything together and why learning all the pieces invested are not lost time. Chord progressions, keys, notes on the fretboard, triads, scales. This was the video to show me how simply it all comes together once the moving parts are learned.

  • @JensLarsen
