Let’s stop and give this man some appreciation. Ain’t no other UA-cam channel with such a dynamic and easy visualization of the fretboard, good explanations and great lessons.
Man.... Ive seen dozens of guitar teachers on UA-cam and I swear your approach and method are among THE BEST. Im super serious . This stuff is magnificent. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I"m 65 and honestly, I don't play much anymore and forget what I once knew when I do pick up a guitar. Even though it doesn't take much time for the fingers to start working again from muscle memory, it does take time for the brain to remember. You're little house method of finding the major 3rd was very insightful and put me in a feeling way of playing just by hearing the 3rd for each chord change. That was a great tip to make the brain and fingers work together. Hopefully I'll play more than I do, but if I only pick up the guitar once in a while, I bookmarked your channel to get my brain working quickly. Great lesson.
Ditto to all the compliments below. This is GREAT for targeting those 3rds while soling over "changing' chords rather than making random passes within the pentatonic scales. THANKS so much!
This helped a few thing click for me. I am just starting to learn this stuff to know how to play over chord changes, after spending like 15yrs just learning solos etc. I have just started so I knew the trick to "find all the chords in the major". E.g. from the root, up a string (E to A string) for the IV chord, and then up two frets for the V chord. I knew that the 3rd was in the bar chord shape. for example the middle finger of the bar chord on 6th string is the 3rd. I realised from looking at your diagram, the 3rd follow the same pattern as the above method of finding the chords. If you know the 3rd is up one string and down 1 fret from the root, it's the same for the 3rd for the other chords as in up a string for IV chord 3rd, and up two frets for the V chord 3rd. So you can visualise where they are pretty easily.
Man,this is exactly what my Teacher want's me to do two Months ago. And you can see me 🤪 I almost lost my fun playing Guitar. Now i got it!!! Finally! thx for this leason. Greetings from Germany Lars
Wow! This and the 2.5 shape thing ... First thing in the morning, I am quitting my day job. Gonna make my living playing blues. And I don't even play yet. Ok ... actually I'm retired, but this is amazing stuff. Soooooo clearly organized and presented! Thank you !!!
I'm a visual learner in most cases your teaching method is spot on and has accelerated my ability to navigate across the fretboard and solo. I also noticed you taught on Guitar Tricks. Now I understand WHY you developed your own method of teaching. Thanks.
I always strummed the guitar and never got too far past the CAGED system and scales. Now because of current events, I wanted to use this time to really learn and understand how it all comes together. I now know the CAGED system and how to use the pentatonic scales. Finding your channel has greatly given me motivation to keep practicing and get better!
excellent. can you please make a rich and wholesome video on targetting all the notes of the diatonic scale including semitones. that would really humble any painful soul looking for playing the blues. And awesome video. so unique and informative.
Excellent lesson! You’re method of teaching has really helped me to visualize the fretboard better and understand the interval relationships in a blues solo. And you did it in 10 min!
This is perfect for trained musicians coming from keyboards or other instruments where you’re not talking about fret numbers or tabs so much as 3rds 5ths roots 9ths..
dear lord this channel. You, sir, deserve waaaaay more views and followers. this is the best channel, no joke. I do hope you make the same kind of videos for some jazz standards, though. It would be extremely helpful!
Never too earlier to learn the blues. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and putting in the time to visually explain as well. Despite what my mind says, I believe my heart is calling for the blues.
Big Thanks Gary! This lesson has really opened up the Blues for me. This and the lesson on 2.5 Pentatonics makes the 1st and 4th positions almost seem like extensions (or wings) of the House of Blues👍
This video just snapped me out of the analysis paralysis I’ve been in. AWESOME!! Thank you for using the color chart as well. I’m the type that learns better with colors which I also learned from you many videos ago.
Just came across this and I think you have just changed my life forever! I'll have to check it out more but this may just be the key thing I have been missing in my musical life! If all goes well I will see you on your patreon! Nick
That was really fantastic! Great visualization with the “house”. I guess another way to think of the other major 3rd locations would be just parallel to the blue note (6th fret in A)
I pretty much taught myself how to play guitar using UA-cam videos, books, etc. but this video here did more to pull me out of the frustrating rut that I was in than anything else. Thank you sir very much for your help! 🙂 Oh and just for the record, I to call those fingers the pointer and pinky. I don’t know anyone that calls it the “index finger.“. 🤔
You really do have an amazing way of teaching, synthesizing information, animating...it’s all so good and makes being a patron a privilege.
Thank you so much Patrick! I appreciate your support and encouragement. I'm glad you're finding value in the lessons!!!

thank you Lucas!
It's true! Very inspiring stuff!!
Great teacher
Man.... Ive seen dozens of guitar teachers on UA-cam and I swear your approach and method are among THE BEST. Im super serious . This stuff is magnificent. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for the supportive words!
I am running to become your patron. The best teacher during my 10+ year no-getting-better guitar life. Period.
wow! Thank you so much!! I'm happy to hear that!
こんなに丁寧に教えてくれるなんて最高だと思う。英語はわからないけど音で伝わる事で
ギターが楽しめる。ありがとう。
日本から観てるよ。
Another excellent teaching video Gary
WHY HAS NO ONE EVER SHOWN US THIS?!?! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!
I’ll never forget the ‘door and window and balcony’ thanks man

Lots of folks talk about this and demonstrate it but noone really SHOWS it as slimply and clearly as this. Well done!
Ditto to all the compliments below. This is GREAT for targeting those 3rds while soling over "changing' chords rather than making random passes within the pentatonic scales. THANKS so much!
You are the best teacher!!
Dude...game changing teaching style. Everything is here! Fret Live is incredible. THANK YOU! You opened the door to the house of blues.
This is pure gem ♥️
Great lesson. Thanks. God bless you my friend.
I love your method and you are a very good teacher. Thank you

Greetings from Germany
Lars
Glad you got it now!!!
I understood it literally from the beginning of the lesson. That’s something I’ve never experienced from UA-cam teachers before. Thank you for that 😃
Wow. What an awesome lesson. Just this one well taught simple lesson and my blues playing sounds 100% better.
I love your analogy Gary literal house of blues
Best addition to my playing in years

First thing in the morning, I am quitting my day job. Gonna make my living playing blues. And I don't even play yet.
Ok ... actually I'm retired, but this is amazing stuff. Soooooo clearly organized and presented!
Thank you !!!
hahaha thanks for the comment, and for the laugh! :D
Wow! This and the "2.5" shapes are gold!
Staring me in the Face and didn't realise it.
enjoy! 🙏

Man. Wish I had stuff like this 20 yrs ago.
A brilliant lesson. You have a new devotee.
excellent. can you please make a rich and wholesome video on targetting all the notes of the diatonic scale including semitones. that would really humble any painful soul looking for playing the blues. And awesome video. so unique and informative.
this is gold
i got everything i needed from your youtube videos, in my opinion you overdid it with the free stuff
THANK YOU, DUDE!
Man,,these are the Holy Grail Lessons on blues soloing,,,together with Scot Paul Johnson,credits for him too. Thank you sir, greetings from Holland.
Excellent lesson! You’re method of teaching has really helped me to visualize the fretboard better and understand the interval relationships in a blues solo. And you did it in 10 min!
This is without a doubt the best beginner solo blues lesson on the internet
These videos are so good for the way I learn ❤️
Illuminating! Super!!!!
Jolly good stuff amazing graphics ideal for visual learners - Steve UK
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing!
Your channel is amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks so much for the house of blues.👍
Super-duper easy. You're the best instructor yet. The diagrams are so helpful. Can't thank you enough.
Thanks exactly what I’m trying to learn
Thank you!!!
Gary, you're such a pedagogic genius ! Thank you so much !
🙏🎸🙏🎸
Very useful, especially the door and window…
I love the fret-live animations! Thanks Gary.
glad you're digging it. Thank you!
Thank your for these lessons. The quality, explanations and examples, unlocks the fretboard for me.
Thank you Gary
This is Golden.. thanks for sharing this.. unbelievable what one note..the major third can do🎸🤘
Thank you! I know, right? 🎸
Hey man these fretboard visuals are amazing. Havent seen anyone foing it so good like you. Deserve way more subs!!
Great explanation. I guess that the way forward is to experiment simply and then bring back in learned licks, accentuating these 3rd chord tones.
This is perfect for trained musicians coming from keyboards or other instruments where you’re not talking about fret numbers or tabs so much as 3rds 5ths roots 9ths..
Wonderful lesson! Thanks so much for giving it to us. Great way to add some variation to the good old minor pentatonic - just what I was looking for.
Fantastic idea for memorizing! 👍👍👍Thanks so much 🙏
this is what i call a good lesson
Excellent Lesson!!!
dear lord this channel. You, sir, deserve waaaaay more views and followers. this is the best channel, no joke.
I do hope you make the same kind of videos for some jazz standards, though. It would be extremely helpful!
thanks Sergio - I've been playing more jazz lately, and I want to do something too!
You're videos are so helpful you deserve way more views and subscribe!
Congratulations, bro... It's the best video I've wached!!
Hey man. blues got me to stick with self learning guitar. and improvisation is my strongest point
thanks for making me better.
Definitely my next Patreon sub
You’re an awesome teachers.
Spectacularly good lesson again. Thank you!
incredibly helpful video. thanks for sharing.
You are a great teacher- thanks for all your lessons.
Never too earlier to learn the blues. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and putting in the time to visually explain as well. Despite what my mind says, I believe my heart is calling for the blues.
Yes! If you're feeling the spirit, you must heed the call!
This is absolutely fantastic! Great teaching, bravo👏👏👏👏👏
Wishing you would consider flipping the fretboard animation to orient to the guitar neck! Thanks again for your time and expertise!
Big Thanks Gary! This lesson has really opened up the Blues for me. This and the lesson on 2.5 Pentatonics makes the 1st and 4th positions almost seem like extensions (or wings) of the House of Blues👍

Incredible breakdown.
New subscriber!
Amazing lesson!!! Such useful graphics! Thank you!
Thank you Brad!
Thanks Steve! I know I said my name super fast in the beginning, but it's Gary. Nice to meet you :D
@@PowMusic Sorry, I saved that under Bradley Cooper lesson.......lemme switch that
This is great. A video on where to find the chord tones for each chord in all 5 boxes would be so helpful.
Very Thanks you.,for your class
Great lessons, lovet he animated fret board, so useful. Love your approach, no showing off. Thanks for all your effort, great job.
Your house metaphor is pretty catchy!
YOU ARE MY HERO
thank you!
Just came across this and I think you have just changed my life forever!
I'll have to check it out more but this may just be the key thing I have been missing in my musical life!
If all goes well I will see you on your patreon!

Claes Sorensson wow! One of my favorite comments ever. Enjoy!! 🎸🤝
That was really fantastic! Great visualization with the “house”. I guess another way to think of the other major 3rd locations would be just parallel to the blue note (6th fret in A)
Brilliant clear graphics, well done and thanks from all us aspiring guitar players.
This lesson has clarified something which I have struggled with. Best explanation and best illustrations ever. Now a Patreon member. Thank you !

I pretty much taught myself how to play guitar using UA-cam videos, books, etc. but this video here did more to pull me out of the frustrating rut that I was in than anything else. Thank you sir very much for your help! 🙂
Oh and just for the record, I to call those fingers the pointer and pinky. I don’t know anyone that calls it the “index finger.“. 🤔
