• I Wrote A Book Filled ...
My mind is blown…! 🎉 This makes a lot of sense. Sad part is… I’ve been practicing my Pentatonic scales every way possible thinking, one day this will make sense or someone will explain to me how to make this work. I’ve been trying to meander between Penta positions, following each pattern and sliding into a different one up and down the neck. This make sooo much more sense. Thank you once again from across the pond!
I’m writing a new book on pentatonics that will blow your mind even more…
Ricky, If there’s anyway you can keep me posted about your new book, please do….
The subtle chord droning in the back is brilliant. Gives context to the notes without being distracting.

The book is money, and more importantly time, well spent. Great lesson, great teacher.
Thanks for your support. Glad you're enjoying the videos.
Amazing, Awesome, Mindblowing!!!
Sooo many thanks, Sir!
Your tone in that beginning jam was amazing. Great lesson, too.
I've scoured YT watching every teacher. For therory, RC is top tier! Thank you Mr. Comiskey!
this was actually great, I've always looked at them as shapes like this too so presenting it in this way was quite helpful, thanks
BOOM!!!
Lightbulbs coming on everywhere ....
Cheers Ricky!! 😎😎
Thank you so much, that lick made me fall in love with every song where it's played
Great Teacher and A very good teacher. Greatings from Toronto.
Greetings in Toronto from West Yorkshire!
Thank you for making this helpful guitar lesson for us Ricky.
These are the things that stick with me. Thank you.
Thanks!
Thank you, very much appreciated.
Very cool & so easy! Never thought of this.
Very interesting idea of being able to use the pentatonic scales thanks for the lesson.
Your methods of seeing from a new perspective, are always uplifting and totally relatable..
Easy tear. Melodic playing on fire.
Great info, simple instructions, and freely teach(better) than most, who just want your $$$. Your channel will grow and thanks again !!!
Cheers Stephen!
Mind blown! Thank you!😮😊
Awesome! Thanks, very helpful!!
Very useful!! Greetings from Argentina
Very nice way to study pentatonic scale.
Absolutely helpful lesson. I just leveled up my playing by watching this lesson. Many thanks and I'm a big fan!!! Please keep the great lessons coming. Take Care
Thanks for watching!
Another great teaching moment.
Thank you! Great lesson.
Another great lesson! Thanks! :)
Brilliant video. One of the best I've seen. Also, the visualizations help so much, I continue to realize. The mystery of the guitar, how it's tuned in perfect fourths on the bottom 4 strings, and then the "wrench in the spokes" in my brain, and probably many of yours- how the third string (G) in relation to second string (B) breaks the pattern and creates a major 3rd; then, it goes back one last time- the second string (B), to the first string (E) is a perfect fourth up from that.
Now I'm just sitting here thinking...about the hundreds of thousands? millions? guitar playing human beings that have been wonderfully been perplexed as they explored the fretboard...The guitar is a brilliant invention. How it has evolved into the 6-stringed guitar we all know and love today fascinates me every day of my life. That's why I profess to the younger generation...Music is your friend for life, and an infinite well to examine over the course of your entire, long life. Music is one of humanity's beautiful achievements.
Creating something, from nothing.
"Ok 55554???5 y does da guitar shape change? Why do I feel dumb after 23 years, and still don't totally understand it...Oh, literally geometry. Tight. Math is cool, kids- don't skip out on yr math. Scalene triangle? ffs, I just tried to spell "Isosceles." Knowing google would auto-correct, I smashed down..."Iscolece" - Everyone, I think we're are all becoming collectively more stupid..."Spell isosceles in 10 seconds..." ("Chik-chik---- BOOM!)
This is getting weird so I'm gonna go make more MUSIC, because it's FUN! Thanks for the VIDEO, great instruction here.
LOVE this comment! Stay weird buddy!
great comment, a lot of the kids todays are simply to lazy to learn guitar i find to busy with soical media sad but true.
Sweet and very helpful. Thanks
And, I'm confused, watch what video here next?
Very very helpful...thank you sir.
you nailed it every clip. love your work
Thank you buddy!
I have been playing for over 40 years, and am aware of many repeating patterns, but this one I never noticed. Very cool, and I agree that the B and G string split is the perfect. Thanks for sharing. I know my five penta boxes quite well, but had never isolated the three different triangles horizontally.
I needed this thank, you da best!😮
Very GOOD LESSON. THANKS.
Tricky Ricky Strikes again 😤
Super Well Done Presentation!I've been using such numonics since I started playing because I couldn't read music. I also used these numonics to teach. -Great Video!
Yorkshire gold, thanks Ricky!
I'm stealing that Rich!
Great lesson Ricky! I’m definitely ordering your spiral bound lesson book.
Aha!! Thanks Ricky.
Good stuff!
Got your book today! Really looking forward to getting into it!
That deserves a free coffee…thanks!
Thanks for the coffee, very much appreciated.
Oh man…. Many thanks!
I made a jam track for you to practice it with as well. The triangles display on screen. ua-cam.com/video/-ziasAirudE/v-deo.html
Really helpful bro
Not Christmas yet, but that was a real cracker Ricky!
eyup .. means 'Yo'?
love your lessons, they've helped me Bigly!
Yes! Eyup is Yorkshire for “Hello, how are you?”. I couldn’t bring myself to say “What’s up guys”. Keep it real! Stoked the lessons have helped buddy :)
Как же чертовски просто и наглядно спасибо огромное, чувак!
I love your guitar. What make/model. Obviously, an S-style. Very beautiful and unique.
It’s a Yamaha Pacifica 112J. They have the comfiest necks ever! I have a 73 Fender Stratocaster BUT I play my Pacificas more!
Thanks so much ....

The Human Centatonic! Boom!
Such a beautiful tone 🧡🧡🧡
thanks
Genius
That hit the Spot
You’ll love tomorrow’s video Joey!
Good stuff, I connecting the dots
Can you use the triangle shape in any order. I follow the logic in all your videos but when it comes to applying it on the guitar, i dont follow exactly when to use it or in what order and how to know which position you are in for the sequence that you are talking about.
Each triangle corresponds to a pentatonic box position. So your classic box 1 is scalene, 2 is iso, 3 is scalene, 4 is iso and 5 is right angle.
@@shreduntilbed thanks for this. I need to try this out.
The first triangle is the first 3 notes to Close Encounters alien jam…
Sounds like what “Brandon Lee” (idk who really played it) played in “the crow”
Can you overlay the penta scales over these triangles? Also can you label the note positions like 5th,4th etc? in the triangle?
Yes check out the free pdf in the video description for which box patterns they live in
Do you have a lesson on unison bends like the one you did in A minor Ricky, found it The Pentatonic Scale Box 4
This goes over techniques. There’s a section on bending

Гениально!
Guitar phythagoras. Just brushed my chapter on triangles
If you just learn all the patterns you won't need to think triangles. But for those who need a shortcut this is definitely a good lesson.
I always try and make lessons as accessible as possible. Last year I read some folks don’t hear their thoughts in their head. Wild!!
Are these triangle movable in different key?
Yes.
To be honest, the big triangle, small triangle & right hand triangle was easier to remember for a guitarist, even though I have a science degree.
I made a jam track for you to practice it with as well. The triangles display on screen. ua-cam.com/video/-ziasAirudE/v-deo.html
Learning guitar is all about patterns & shapes.
And this works, thanks!
It's something i already do, but never thought of it in such a simple, neat way. I would usually try to picture the entire box.
Btw, did you mean "right angled triangle"..? Idk, perhaps its different where you're from - in Australia, that's what we call them. Ok, bye!
PREACH!
It sure is.
It sure is.
What model of that beautiful guitar, Rick?
cool
This is brilliant. But I can’t wrap my head around what happens if you go to other strings instead of 2 and 3.
Thank you for watching! The pattern changes. You need to understand string pairs. ua-cam.com/video/mdg2bkfRQ6Y/v-deo.html
Hi Ricky, I liked the background music. It gives a grounding rhythmic structure and context for playing, and making the pentatonic scale more melodic. If you’re going to be leaving it out, would you suggest a key and backing track to play to? It so easy for me to get all “plinky-plunk” with my scales without a backing track. Thx sir, as always, you’re top-tier !!
((… altho now that I reread comments, upon occasion there *is* music in the background that doesn’t always seem to fit. But again in this case, the backing track seem to fit for me.) And you’re still top-tier 😄))
I was thinking of making a few jam tracks with on screen diagrams you can follow. That might be worth doing?
@@rickysguitar love that idea. Thx for your consideration.
@@rickysguitar thank u
Been tryna figure out Penatonic and 12 bar blues. As I'm tryna teach myself .
Respectively

As a former geometry student, I would have gone with right angle, scalene, and isosceles triangles. Less ambiguous.
I never knew triangle names could stir up such furore. In my original video I called them right angled, big triangle, little triangle. Maybe I should have stuck with that! 😂 However the lesson itself is GOLD! 🔑
I would go for the maths master class university course n fk off and watch a master
Why does the graphic show 2 A strings instead of 2 E strings?
You're right! I didn't notice that! Well observed. It's an E string not an A string on the thinnest string
I should have added a great big thankyou for your content, I have found your work very helpful.
This video has useful information but for the love of God why is there a random background music bed behind a video in which you're getting a music lesson? It's so distracting.
Hi There...
The dusty side of the neck 😂
Actually got round to learning 5 positions at last
I was doing them backwards
Hey, if you're going backwards, at least you're making progress!
@@rickysguitarh3zw❤
I like Isósceles for a person’s name, maybe a son.
I mean. Why not?!
Uim so often stook
Saya tdk suka musik JAS
musik apa yang bagus
Great video, but the music in the background is annoying, specially when you're playing the guitar it doesn't match and makes it more annoying. Also is more difficult to hear you and to focus (specially when English is not my main language)
Thanks for the feedback. We try things out in videos and they're not everyones cup of Yorkshire tea. Maybe I should remake it or do it as one of my Wednesday guitar class livestreams? I can expand upon how to use it then.
I prefer the old names better than the new ones its a guitar lesson not a geometry lesson
You sound fun 😂
Regardless I have your best interests at heart so I made a jam track for you to practice it with as well. The triangles display on screen. ua-cam.com/video/-ziasAirudE/v-deo.html
Eyup Ricky, this is Al from Switzerland, I’m a little bit sorry for this coment, but I love your vids, but you tend to go a little fast with the guitar. I’m not a beginner but it’s difficult to see what strings are being played,sorry for the moan. Alan
Eyup Al. I just had a watch and it's pretty well paced. You do know you can slow the videos down. I do it all the time when I'm transcribing licks or songs. In the bottom of the video there's a cog icon, if you click that you'll see playback speed. If you change it to 0.5 you'll be able to keep up. Don't forget you can always rewind as well!
Eyup Ricky,thanks for the reply, I must say u r 👍 great. U took the time to give me a reply which not everyone can attest to, you are brilliant 🤩. Al
Why do you have the constant nonstop muffled music in the background that has no relation to what you’re talking about on the guitar? It distracted me the whole time and became the only thing I could focus on because it seems like such a weird choice. It’s just this constant kind of noise, where there could just be peace, and the sound of your voice and your guitar. Am I the only one who finds this really bizarre?
Funnily enough I’m ditching the background music. I’ll only be using it if the lesson I’m demonstrating is in the same key. I really only used it to enrich the experience as this is common practice with other creators. I’m happy to ditch it as it adds more to editing time as well. Thanks for the feedback which helps clarify my decision.
@@rickysguitar thank you very much for taking it so well. I didn’t mean to be hateful or anything. as s I think you could tell. I’m looking forward to those videos now.
