This is the real deal. This man is downright correct because it's much simpler than some of those complicated teachers who are just out to show off with the knowledge they all struggled to learn. This is 100 percent true.
I was already in think tank mode on this but wasn't sure as I have watched your reels and realised this could be done. Then low and behold my suspicions was correct. You sir! have made this clear, and I'm ever so grateful for all your Guitar Mastery reels and Appreciate your generosity and genius approaches and guidance. Thank you. One day I will join one of the courses. From New Zealand fan. 💯🎸
Great tip Claus. I’ve found all your tips and tricks useful, but (for my current lead/improv struggles) I think this is the best advice yet. I am so looking forward to the day my eyes open up and see the fretboard the way guitarist like you see it. Thank you for yet another great video.🤘
@@guitarmastery lol. I meant like I can actually use them. I didn’t realize the way it sounded til now…lol maybe I should have said usable for lesser guitarist like myself…lmao🤘
Yep, Claus has taught me that I can use the tiny first pentatonic position pattern of the 3rd and 4th strings (a major second interval "box" if you will) in the same way all across the fretboard. This, combined with knowledge of where the roots notes are, freed me from 5 full pattern tyranny and I can move freely across the fretboard. Small additions can then be added to this tiny "box" and learned very quickly. Awesome!
LOL I was taught to master the minor scale in all 12 keys. Then I was taught how it is relative to the major scale. So if the song is in a major I'm playing F# minor. Then I was taught how it is relative to the modes. So if I want to play E Dorian, I play the B minor scale. If I want to play G mixolydian, I play the C major, LOL to me, the A minor scale. I also use the harmonic minor a lot. So if I want to play D phrygian dominant, I play the G minor harmonic minor scale. Because I can play the minor scale in all keys and I know where my relative modes and major scales are. I can switch between modes on the fly. Sometimes a musician will ask me what scale are you playing. And I'll say B minor. Then they'll say we're in the key of D major. I'm like yeah same thing.
Yes learning all 5 pentatonic shapes doesn't help you become more musical. I believe you should learn all the notes on the fretboard. I took lessons with a jazz player and the first thing he tested me on was my ability to find notes on the fretboard. I quit those lessons. :)

That's awesome! I'm going to try this as soon as I get home.
Thank you! Enjoy 🎸
Be good to see how we can apply these small shapes with 3nps stuff
There’s no substitute for learning the major scale thru the 12th fret - with that you have it all…

@ yeah, it all seems very complicated until you see how everything is derived from the major scale.
Combining scales is great but combining Brad Pitt with Jean Claude Van Damme + Elon Musk you get the teacher of guitarmastery! 😁
Haha thank you! 😄
