    Heck yeah! Beginner to bluesman like Clapton! Those blue notes and fret changes offer color and a professional lead lines. Combine with timing and an “ear” for the right key, and Jules has opened real player opportunities!!

    Excellent lesson. Simple. Direct. Potent. Actionable. Griff Hamlin put out an excellent 4 note blues solo video some years ago. You are adding much more context to that. Stich puts out lots of videos about pentatonic boxes and techniques in down to earth ways on his channel. Your touch and insights deeply enriches that conversation. Congrats Jules. Great job.

  • @JohnFiocchi
    @JohnFiocchi 2 місяці тому

    Great informative lesson! When improvising on a Jazz Rock piece or taking a short solo in a R&B song ...typically it involves positions . They are fingerings which you memorize and apply during improvisation and you connect them by using chromaticism or Pentatonic passages. If a tune is mainly in A7 you simply alter the fingerings to sound fitting...also do it with a chord progression that revolves around a Major7th...and then there are minor keys.....or harmonic minors stylistically based more on traditional desert music of the Middle East with a Jazz blend.
    You alter the fingerings in all 12 keys and you attempt different styles of music. Egyptian or traditional Japanese melodies of the 14th century. This takes years of practice . Hours of devotion . It does come natural overtime. 😊

    Thank you, Jules. Your channel is the only one I've seen that has the tabs shown exactly how we see you playing the notes. I've asked on multiple channels why the tabs are upside down, and have been told "that's the way it's done". I feel that is a poor response, especially for someone learning guitar that wants to play what they are watching and not have to flip the frets around in their head to do it.

      Hang in there. I've been playing 40 plus years and I still feel like that at times. A teacher I had many years ago once said: "Don't be afraid to experiment and explore the improbable. It's the things you discover on your own that really stick with you and define you as a player"

    @lone-wolf-1 5 місяців тому +15

    Great for beginners, to get creative with just four notes. Did that too few months after starting guitar. 4 notes in different order and length and played with all possible fingering techniques: slide in/out, half, whole, one-and-half step bends, prebends, micro bends, hammer ons/pull offs… and so on. Then later maybe adding some other two notes which lay near by. Then playing the same lick emulating different genres and styles: jazzy, blues, rock, dreamy. I call it “milking a sequence”

    I would prefer the graphic of the neck on screen to go from low E to High from the bottom of the screen, and left to right- as it would be looking down at the guitar when I'm playing it. Otherwise, this was very concise and well explained, and I've been playing 30 years. Always looking for inspiration and new tricks. Nice video mate 🤘👌👍

    I like your term 'box'. Similar to your 3 fret box, I use a 4 fret box which (in the act of noodling) I discover is the about same 4 notes used in a less convenient position. But it is a useful exercise for the pinky finger in the overall quest to finding an out of tune string. Still, there's risk of hitting a bum note - a note that doesn't resolve up or down. The note that makes people think, 'he doesn't know what he's doing'. more fun than video games.
