do you get this with the udemy course?
You don’t get the full chart, but in the Udemy class you get several sheets that have the NeverLost shape and where you are on it. This chart is how to put it all together, the one on the Udemy class does have the complete NeverLost, but only one graphic. Hope that made sense.
So what's the difference between the two? Also, what about other charts such as the one in your In the Mind of David Gilmour video?
All charts are about each individual lesson video, it is customized per what I go over so that people have a visual representation of them. Each one is different
Do you have a similar method with the first finger on the root note for the major pentatonic
Man this is like a cheat code for guitarists..playing up and down and neck melodically for the first time feels so amazing! Thank you so much
Been running and stumbling through the 5 boxes for 30 years. You are the FIRST and ONLY teacher that has ever said put your index on the root note when ascending and ring finger on root when descending. WOW ! THAT'S IT !!! Now if I can only find a time machine .....
Five years later this video is still helping people. Thank you for helping me see the pentatonic scale in a new way!
Rock on!!!
Stichmethod Guitar I have played guitar for 20 years. Never had a lesson and after watching just a handful of your videos my understanding has increased and my solos sound right now. Keep doing what you do, do NOT doubt yourself mate, and if you don't mind me saying you let off a great vibe too, its a pleasure watching you and your videos. Thank you.
This lesson really helped me
Damn ants
Here, hear!
I second the "great vibe" comment - your whole personality is cool and laid back and you just seem like someone it would be fun to lift a beer with. Keep up the great work, my friend!
I agree
I’ve been waiting for the “click” moment of learning these shapes, and this was it. Thank you so much!
Click.
Click for me to all the shapes was knowing the top five strings are always a repeating cyclical pattern of two "1-4s" intervals then three "1-3s" (although the position might change) and the high e string is obviously the same as the low. Keeping that in mind and that the bottom of one box is the top of the next, it's easy to know what shape is next down the neck.
Oboyoboyoboy, here we go ... around the first turn! Thank you for Stiching together those root note shapes, coach! Stellar!
Excelent. For those not getting it, learn the 5 pentatonic positions first and the skies will part :)
Mercedes Escobar i did the same thing here and this just blew the door wide open n connected everything..this is awesome...good luck..
Thank God I found you. I’ve learned more from you in two weeks than I have in six months of watching other UA-cam vids. Most teachers are so impressed with themselves that they forget what it’s like to be a student. I bought your Blues Masrtery courses and I’m very satisfied with them. A little over my head but I’m getting there. I’ll be joining your Patreon page too. Everyone who watches your lessons should join too. Totally worth it.
Lol! My favorite all time guitar joke: how many guitarists does it take to change a light bulb? One to do it, and ten to brag that they can do it better 😂.
🙏🏽thank you, Master.
If there is a guitarist's Heaven, You have reserved a place there. Because You show sinners like me how to cut free from the PentaBox and fly freely over the Fretboard.
AMEN

I doubt you'll see this but I feel it should be said regardless, this is one of the only instructional videos I've seen where it genuinely feels like a teacher teaching students that cares. Most videos you find on this is a teacher that knows the lesson 100% in and out and can describe it well enough, but after saying the basics, leaves it up to the student to do whatever. Going the extra mile and saying no, I'll make more if you don't understand, is truly the sign of a great, humble teacher.
Thank you.
I'm 65, and played guitar since I was a kid ---- by ear. Even played in a couple of high school and post-high school bands (until I got drafted by the Army). Post-Army I went to college on the GI Bill and took Beginning Guitar 101. How hard could it be? For me? Well, the course was one-on-one instruction and the music professor said right off, "Show me what you can do." So, I went through a couple of chord progressions and riffs, which seemed to please the guy. But, the very next thing he said was Greek, was everything else he said about what I was doing. Exasperated, over-and-over, he kept saying "How can you do what you do, without a clue about what you're doing!?!" The rest of the course didn't involve ANY guitar playing..... just me in front of a chalk board as he went through "whole step, whole step, half-step, scales, etc. Then I had homework on the guitar. I had to practice the named scales endlessly at home until I was smooth and accurate. I'd unknowingly been playing them all along, but running all over the neck to get the notes. Staying in scale allowed me to stay put in one fretboard position. To this day I can tell if a guitarist is school-trained or self-taught when he plays or even writes tablature; does he stay "in scale", or does he run all over the neck to hit the notes? The music professor was right. I resisted his way at first, but soon realized that my speed increased when I didn't have to scatter the frets to hit the same note. That was 40-years ago and I still have my notes and handouts from that class, and STILL refer to them from time to time. I've seen some killer self-taught guitarists, but I can tell anyone that the best way to learn guitar is to learn the theory and scales. It will also pay off if you learn any other instrument, be it a horn or keyboard because you know the theory and scales. If you wish to play any instrument, pay for the lessons --- it will make a lifetime of difference. I even learned to play the accordion of all things; by going to class.
Some people learn differently, Many people who learn by ear very inefficiently. I myself learnt theory later in life. However, I was always trying to economise my playing style. So I can work the whole fret board or keep it concise. Which is great because I never get lost. But that's because I was interested in Jazz. I notice a lot of self taught blues players go all over the place and loose their economy, restrict speed etc.
I rather people learn guitar by ear than not at all, not nearly enough people enjoy the wonder of guitar.
However, theory and the ability to learn by ear is by far the best system.
StichMethod Guitar Many people say that scales are useful and theory is the best way to learn, but I personally cannot see connection between knowing scales and applying it to real life experience. Some of the scales as I understood inverse of other and it looks like endless forrest of notes which i can learn but what then? how it is useful when song goes from one tonality to another or if I will have trouble to know in which scale the song is? How it helps if I cant determine the scale or if there more then one scale to apply? I understand chords and principle to build them, but how to jump from that to building it fast on the go is a mystery for me and I do not know how to get there yet.So if I see complication in song I use ear to resolve it without ever realising what chord I took really. It looks like I and perhaps many other miss some trick or connection that it could really move all forward and I simply do not know what it is in the first place to even start to learn it. May be you can sense that missing link and explain it like here you did with blues idea. It looks like something simple is missing but unknown. I've stumble on cage-trick it perhaps can help but since I heard about it I didnt progress too much yet, also I heard about circle of fifth but in practice it didnt work yet too. I think I can grasp it all because i do by ear songs that many other people cant but something on the way is missing. May be you can know what is it to the benefit of all and your teaching. With best regards and thank you for your lesson. I figured out all boxes once I saw one and how to build them along the board but until your lesson even though I think I could I didn't find time to memorise all of them. I also already understood how to calculate them and move from one to another and yet your way of putting it really helped in a practice. So thank you again and I hope sharing my experience can somehow contribute to your teaching. Cheers.
Good thread, there is a lot of people who can do a task, but do quite have clue of what they are really doing. So how could you teach someone else?
Been trying to teach myself using youtube for years and getting nowhere. You just blew my fuckin' mind. You, Sir, are a real teacher.
Other UA-cam tutorials basically teach me how to read a scale chart, which to be honest anyone can do. You actually explain how it can be used and I appreciate you for that. You definitely have got my subscription and support from here forward
I've dabbled in the guitar for over thirty years with no luck. You're video today has changed my outlook forever. Well done.
As a long-time classical player learning to improvise, the is the best foundational video I've seen.
Ok, I’m a few days into this and wanted to give an update. I started knowing a couple of forms, but unable to connect the fretboard between them. On day one I got the “fan blade” down. Day two I set up two thirty minute practice sessions and by the end of the second day, second practice I had a big breakthrough. By day three I had all the forms down and could connect and play over the entire fretboard and easily find my root notes!
Picked up the guitar the next day to be sure it “stuck”, and it has. Once I understood the scale and neck, it became easy to play groups of notes together, as you could see the patterns clearly now, and am able to solo off of chords. I will be spending the next few sessions working in improving this.
There is no magic here. It is a simple, well thought out system but it takes a little time and work to get it. The beauty of the Stitch method is that it is laid out to minimize time and maximize effort so that you get the most out of it.
I have been playing guitar for over thirty years, but couldn’t play lead, Inhad tried to learn but outside of a few licks it just didn’t connect. Now it does. Thanks Stitch!
2 videos in and I wish I found this channel several years ago.
Yu found it at the ryt tym
Same.
Excellent presentation of what I wish I had known years ago! The "home," note I get, and how to move up and down the neck always moving around, but coming back to ground 1! Thanks for making it look so simple!
I see it like neo!!! Thanks bro

Absolutely brilliant for memorizing the Pentatonic scales up and down the fretboard ........... Best explanation I have seen .... ever !!!!
Yes. In standard guitar tuning, the B string is "detuned", in that it not a perfect fourth higher than the G string; it is a major 3rd higher. (G to B) All other string relationships are a perfect fourth apart. E to A, A to D, D to G, G to B, and B to E. The B string is this way for playability of chords. If it was a perfect fourth, then the high E string would be a half-step higher, and that would really make playing many chords difficult.
Thank you! I feel like I'm being led the right way, finally!
All the sweep picking, tapping, phrygian dominant, "join my super guitar system!!" videos you have to Wade through.... Or worse,"the Top 10 reasons why you need a Strat!", or, "This years coolest pedals!", or, "Treating my GAS: Unboxing a Core PRS 10Top"....
It can be a hard slog, with so much to distract you, to find your way in this guitar-o-verse... But finally! Someone teaching exactly the stage that I've been stuck at for the last year or so.
I know all my boxes backwards, I've got some elements of mixing major and minor scales in solos...I've learnt a tonne of blues licks I can throw in as I meander between the boxes. And I've learnt a lot of my Guitar heroe's solos (Slash and the like).
But everything kind of feels compartmentalized, and forced together. There's no musical direction. I'm just dropping licks one at a time in the right key.
Now this...this feels like the keys to the city! And it's all starting to come together!
Thanks , man, I'm Keen for the next one and to see what more you might be offering in terms of paid courses...
Excellent! I have been struggling memorizing pentatonic scales and connecting up and down the frets. This makes so much sense, connecting the root notes, and was never explained in this manner. Thank you!
It's simple when someone explains it to you like this. Not easy, cuz it takes work, but simple to understand. And that what makes leaning guitar,or any other instrument, fun and gratifying. Rock (or Blues) on!
This is the best guitar lesson I have found for learning lead.
Come on every body,Shout it,shout it, Shout it out loud! OhYeah!
I thought I was just not able to learn anymore at my age 65 thank you for showing me what I needed
I almost gave up
Awesome keep on going Janice..ain't the age its the fun. We need fun in music these days. Peace.
me too am a 65 year old girl who wants to jam...;-)

My friend, I've watched plenty of video's and never has anyone shown this as easily as you did. Excellent job teaching sir.
A sign of a truly well taught lesson is that when you got to the "hub", (box 3) I was able to see where to go from there before you shared that part with us. Genuine light bulb moment! Great lesson! BTW, my doctor's name is Stich. Can you believe it? A doctor named Stich!
Finally.....a way to connect these "boxes"
At last! A tutorial that bears in mind that not everyone is born with musical knowledge. Thank you for the enlightenment. Keep it up.
Lov it. This helped me jump start my slump even more. m getting a new chance at life at 62 bed ridden 26+ year suffering pain of migraines I haven't enjoyed the music I loved or ever turned on my sterol system for 26+ years You helped me try again and just start to feel alive again. God bless
"There are so many videos on UA-cam that show you how to play a pentatonic that don't make sense...but this one makes sense" - AMEN TO THAT 👍👍
At first I was all " Ah man, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. I know the positions." Then after playing around with it for a while I learned the value of it. Yep, you're right. It's a good thing. It helps one break free from the familiar positions one uses over and over. Thanks.
I have been teaching, playing and studying all styles from progressive metal to classical, symphonic all the way to flamenco and jazz and also have had the honor of performing, writing and coaching some of the biggest acts out there so I want to say that this guy (Stitch) is right on the money with these patterns and ways of seeing the neck of your guitar. All the greats use this stuff and rely on it for the foundations of melodic ear candy. STITCH I also want to comment on the fact that you have not adopted the arrogant guitarist attitude shrouded by false humility that makes people sick lol. Keep up the great work my friend, refreshing.James Cropper.
With a name like Cropper, you must know what you are talking about. Off now to fry some green onions
Gusdogbrownlab lol...Steve is my cousin. We have different styles but he sure has carved his name in music. Im proud of him.
That's great, thanks for the reply, I can say I'm talking to guitar royalty now! Great fan of Steve
Well thank you so much, I do appreciate that. Keep playing Brother! Cheers...Ill tell Steve you said Howdy.
Who is Steve ??
That's it. I'm getting so excited now, your videos got me started on with baby steps when it comes to understanding the fretboard and improvising!
I'll get the chart as soon as i have time to get a good practice session again :) heck, been a while since i've been THIS excited to get some real guitar knowledge!
Thank you.
Bought the lesson. I made a tube account just for this video. This is honestly the most helpful thing I have come across as pertaining to the minor pentatonic. For being new to the guitar and being stuck inside the same "box", this was literally an "ah-ha" moment and a breath of fresh air for creativity. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. It's really worth it.
wonderful clarity, excellent
Iwish someone told me this 40 years ago!

Grabbed your NeverLost PDF. This is super helpful and perfectly priced. For all you on the fence. Don't think just buy it. You will be glad you did.

Same here! Super helpful! :-)
Thanks su much!!!

Hi there
I rarely buy this kind of stuff. This was worth it. It's only a chart with graphics. Nothing fancy. But the chart is very clearly made and I'll definitely be using this from now on ! Thanks a lot !!! I read in the comments that other charts are hand drawn ?! Is your Major Neverlost scale done with graphics like this or hand drawn ?!
Coming back to guitar after a long hiatus. I was always stuck in the rhythm guitar section, never able to understand how to break into lead. This is the key that UNLOCKS that realm. Thanks man!
Absolutely great sir. You've joined the dots for me after years of fumbling about with box patterns.
This is the lesson I have been waiting for! I am sick of being in guitar shops and feeling totally inadequate when the next guy tries out a guitar and usually plays more or less what you have just taught in this video. Well explained, can't wait to give it a try. Thank you!
I wish we had such great training material when I young. (1963 ) I could have been a Jimmy Page or Eric Clapton. ;) Now at ripe age of 66 I am starting again how to play the guitar for third time in my life. All makes sense now. I learned in one video more what would have taken me many month to learn the old fashioned way via a book. Well done. I have subscribed to your channel. Keep up producing such easy to learn material. Thanks
May I ask... what kind of device you used to play the background rhythm? Thanks
Love the way you explain things. I've been accidentally putting my shapes together by sound but didn't really understand what I was doing. It makes a lot more sense now. Great video.
Dude. I've been lost my whole life!! There never seemed to be an easy way for me to learn where roots are. This has helped a LOT. Thanks man.
This is great! I've never really been able to wrap my head around moving up the neck like this... this made it so simple and I instantly understood it all!
Dang.
I have been fiddling with the pentatonic and could never grasp how to move down the neck. Thank you so much, this makes a lot of sense.
669 egos have thumbed this down. 18 thousand musicians have shown their appreciation for its value. Thank you. It’s a wonderful, simple method that even drummers like me can understand:)
I’m 51 and started learning guitar last year! Of ALL the time and videos I have watched over the last year, on average 2 hours a day, this by FAR is the most beneficial! Thank you!!
dude this is exactly what I needed... opened up my guitar playing so much, thankyou!!
I ended up watching your vid by accident. But I'm glad I did. I happen to be a Bass player and was looking for someone else's way of thinking when it comes down to the pentatonic scale. I play this scale all of the time during practice, but never really tried using it while playing my Bass guitar. Now after watching your vid, I have a better understanding on how to use this scale. I'm not a soloist but I'm always looking for fills to try to make the tune more colorful. So thank you for your instrutual vid.

I am a Nashville Song Writer and have been fortunate enough to have written some top 10 and a number 1 song. For years I just played cords. I never knew how to solo. You have opened up the fretboard for me. You have a gift for explaining how it works. I can't tell you how much it means to me. THANKS!! Len..
+Len Shera can we please collaborate!!!???
StichMethod Guitar What kind of music are you into? My last name is Chera. Most of what I do is Country although I am presently stretching it out. Google me for some of my songs..
I’ve been trying to learn this for so long 8 years one instructor and app later. I find your video it was so simple and easy to understand. I’m so excited. Please keep making videos
I have never been able to solo, after practising this for a week or so, I can. Thanks very much for the lesson. 5 Stars.
This helps me improvise on different scales and come with extended concepts to keep my solos in track!
I definitely enjoyed this. I knew all of the positions for the A m scale, but it definitely made it easier to flow more seamlessly between the patterns. I definitely recommend it.
Thank you again StichMethod dude. Can't express how much this single lesson has completely altered my way of visualizing the fretboard. After watching this video it's like a no brainer. Kinda wish a few of my teachers would have explained it like this. Great job man!!
This is the best 13:59 I've spent in a long time. Great lesson, thanks
To say a light went on for me after watching this is an understatement.
I love your NEVERLOST system of linking up the root notes to move the pentatonic scale up and down the neck! I have watched a lot of similar videos, but have never seen it so clearly expressed. Your teaching method is also very easy to follow. You keep it simple, and yet there is so much too absorb. Thank you!!
I have played guitar since I was 14 years old. I learned by ear and from people along the way shoeing me different things about chord progression and basic things like that. Eventually I learned to fingerpick in different styles and I never was much of a lead guy. Mostly rythm and finning in with fingerpicking.
So after I retired I started playing more and also became part of a benefit band, playing to raise money for people in the community who could use a helping hand during difficult times.
Anyway, at 74 years old, I decided to learn more about playing basic lead riffs and scales to try to improve the rudimentary playing I have done most of my life, so I started taking lessons and learning pentatonic scales and diatonic scales and how to put them together. I was getting it but really not understanding some things completely. Thanks for helping me make sense of stitching these boxes together. Great video.
Just came across your video and it was great. Being a fairly new player, it was a little to fast at times. I will watch it again and again. Very well put together. A very good teacher.
Not much to say.. You are by far the best teacher i have ever found!
Thanks
Been studying a good bit of theory lately and your videos are an awesome compliment to that. Taking theory and putting it into practice. Great job and Thanks!
This makes so much sense. Have listened to this many times and feel so much more comfortable when playing with others
Great lesson, I have learned a lot, thanks
Love your stuff , thanks for your time.
My only regret is that when I started playing in 73 there was no UA-cam. I just discovered your channel today and I have never seen anything like this before, truly sharing your knowledge and experience. Thanks, I'll look forward to seeing more from you.
I am a disabled person i have multiple sclerosis and it messes with your ability to comprehend sometimes I have watched other videos on UA-cam and there not really clear as how to play the scales but 3 days ago I found your lesson on here and I have learned more from you in the 3 days because of the way you teach than I have from any other videos on UA-cam. And I think it's cool how you will make a mistake from time to time and leave it in the video just showes me not to ever give up and that great guitar players make a mistake from time to time I have unsubscribed all the other ones on here. I want to say thank you for making it easy to learn.
Means a lot Ronnie. Stay in touch and keep having fun. Very glad to be a part of this journey with you.
I have to give thanks ..this is so good. It opens up a lot of doors for me. Thank you.
Awesome teacher and lesson. Helps make navigating the multiple positions of the pentatonic scale simple and effective. Focusing on starting on the root notes makes since.
I’ve watched this just at the right time in my learning to understand it, and it’s totally unlocked the fret board for me. Thank you so much for all your videos, you’re my go to teacher! I’m going to look for part 2 😊
Just stumbled across your channel via your Hendrix Little Wing lesson and I'm now 4 videos deep into your repertoire. You are a really great teacher! This is pulling a lot of stuff together for me and is busting me out of a couple of ruts I've been struggling with. Thank you sir!
That was a great video! Best use of 14 minutes of pentatonics I have seen. Rock on.
You give us a great explanation.
I think that your method is realy the best we can find on you tube.
Thanks for your generosity.
I needed this! Been playing for over ten years and have always struggled overlapping pentatonics... thank you!! Love the mikes song reference
5am in the morning. I have so much to do today. But I stumbled across this video and now the guitar's plugged in and the whole day's a write-off.
This helped me so much. You just got a new sub. Thanks a lot man. Never stop playing!
FINALLY......something that makes sense to me. THANK YOU!
Ian, a huge light went off in my brain with this video! I never understood how useful the 1st pentatonic shape was anywhere else was but at the 6 string root! Thanks for all your work!
searched high and low for hours trying to find the best way for me to understand how to connect up and down the neck and this is it! Thank you
WOW Thank you Hans. That was right on the point. Again, thanks, I needed to hear that and I'll bet I'm not alone. Good luck to you.
Paul Willis ❤️
Paul Willis My thoughts exactly!
I have to hand it to you, I watched this video and all of a sudden I could play the guitar. Thank you Wizard Reiner.
I just started learning guitar 2 weeks ago and I was able to play this after a bit of practice! You're a great teacher. This should be in your Blues Primer playlist!!
5 years old and still the best pentatonic how to video on YT!
I think I just unlocked the fretboard doing this one. Went down a couple frets to G, then using this run I saw that the G-scale will work it's way to up to 8-10 on the low strings, and so now I see where you got your E-scale (5-7 on the low) from in the lesson 'how to actually use a pentantonic scale'. Interesting.
If there was an OMG button, i just hit it. Love the videos and big thanks for making them, had to grab the guitar and jam to every backing track i could find in any key. Awesome
Just came across this one again. Two years ago this is the video which got me playing again. Bought an Epi Les Paul and have loved practicing ever since. Now two years later I can do all 5 pentatonic positions fluently, to solo in any key, got the caged chord system sorted and now partly through understanding and using modes. Thanks again Ian for really getting my guitar journey on the right track. This is a great hobby for me now and for the rest of my life.
Played for 20 yrs before an accident messed up my brain finger connection to my left hand. Didn’t pick up and of my guitars for 8 yrs and didn’t think I would ever play again. I never had any training and was content to entertain my self. Over the yrs you pick upon some basic things but even after 2 decades, I was always lost if I was playing with others. This would lead me to staying in one of the boxes to jam friends.
My left hand is not in shape for guitar and I know it will never go fast again but this one one video from you has inspired me to play again. This makes so much sense! Sprinkle with some notes from other modes and I can train my hand to come back to life and sound musical at the same time. Oddly my right hand seems to have had a good memory and works just fine.
You really ROCK man, keep doing what you do!
Awesome to hear! Speaking of modes, check out my NeverLost modes video. It will help you find all your minor modes within this scale. Rock on
thanks man it made it easy to move around the neck....
enjoyed the video greatly, I really like your system. thanks!
Hi Ian, I have been playing guitar for 9 years. Studied at music school in London and have experienced various teachers on line and in my county. I play blues, funk and jazz. Intermediate player desperate to move towards advanced but something was always missing. You have connected the dots in so many ways. I can’t thank to enough. Great work with the video titles/parts. Makes it so much easier to navigate. Keep up the amazing work. You rock.
This lesson is awesome!!! The concept is easy to wrap your head around. I just purchased the PDF...love the color coding on it. It makes it really easy to follow along with your video. Gonna be practicing and learning this one by heart. Pentatonics would always keep me trapped in the box but this my friend, enables you to break out of it. Thanks!!!
Thank you, very helpful
I found this to be most helpfull, so much so that I've subbed & liked. I can play but it's literally by ear, I know what's sharp & whats flat so kinda find my way from there really. I believe I'm musically dyslexic to be honest, I've tried really hard over the years to understand what I'm doing but I just "don't get it" but this video has given me a little hope so thankyou :-)
SmokinJoe347 you a smokin joe fan mate ?
I am indeed :-) I was given my "nickname" by fellow welders, my surname is "Jones" & the customary nickname is "Joner or Jonah" & I dislike both of them! So my friends settled on "Joe" instead & I was happy with that, the "Smokin" bit is from me getting a little too warm doing my job & for welders it kind of goes with the territory as it were.....
This video really helped me out. I got in s big rut trying to improvise and you helped me out of it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
I've been playing guitar for over 37 years, I enjoy watching your videos because of the analogies you use to explain the systems. 37 years and I'm still learning. It's called music Theroy because there is no 1 way or right or wrong. Music , guitar is beautiful. Thank you.
Never understood till this video.. THANK YOU
Goodness me I've put countless hours into learning how to play all 5 positions of the minor pentatonic and never realised this way of connecting the forms. Now I will never forget this. Thank you so much for this wonderful piece of information.
I've been playing guitar for 10 years and I've never been told this in this way before. This is by far the best explanation of guitar construction and pentatonic use I've ever seen. I'm just not going to stop practicing. Thank you so much!
the reason why you are so loved on this channel is your humbleness and the desire to teach. Bless the ALMIGHTY for you made me realise it was not a waste of time picking the guitar back up at 56 . I can actually follow this and sounds nice . uk.
Watching this and not got my guitar to hand but.. I got a feeling this is what Iv been looking for :) will report back soon , peace.
If you are Frank Zappa you don't need this tutorial
Why not? Frank either already knew it, or never used it to begin with? Frank was one weird dude, as were all the Mothers. I never liked a single thing they did, even though I did realize I was looking at true talent.
Hahahah, this like the gazillionth time i am watching this video but, every time the video cuts and he says, 'Totally messed up' always cracks me up.
You are awesome! This is finally something that actually clicks! 20 years playing rhythm amd got into lead ,learned scales etc., great job man! Thanks
