Thanks Steve, you're the best teacher I have found online. I wish I could find someone like you locally, I would gladly pay for lessons. Such clear and concise information in all of your videos.
The 3nps system really fits my way of thinking and helped me move on from being completely lost. From an easy to remember scale pattern to a simple way to remember the chords for the scale degrees. Only problem is I don't have the long fingers to make that reach and have to move a lot to use it.

Hey, Logan-5, To be honest, I have always just thought about keeping it as smooth as I can, and then deciding how subtle or aggressive to make it relative to the situation :-)
Thanks Steve. How would this fit into the caged system? What other 3 notes per string shapes could I use as I travel up and down the neck? Great lessons as always.
Is this series (I can't find the other 6 lessons :/) included in the class linked "Unlock the Fretboard the EASY Way" or would that be a follow up to these teachings?
Don't give up! Remember, the more you play, the more you develop your muscle memory. Which means, when you play something over and over, the muscles in your fingers and hands get used to moving the right way. At first, you have to concentrate to make your hands cooperate. But the more you do it, the easier it gets. So keep playing! :-) Just a heads-up, the special discount and bonuses for Steve’s brand new course Music Theory Made Easy 2.0 ends tonight. Go here for details → guitarzoom.com/musictheorymadeeasy20/promo/ Whether you’re just starting out or if you’ve been playing for years, learning music theory can take your playing to the next level. Because you won’t just memorize some chords, or play a scale over and over a hundred times. When you learn music theory, you’ll discover how scales actually work. How scales generate chords. Why some chords sound good together and others don’t. And which notes to play to create the sound you want with your solo. Which means, you’ll truly start to understand how music works. So you can take your guitar playing as well as your songwriting to a whole new level. But the special discount and brand-new bonus courses disappear tonight.

Isn’t this how every bass player starts? Leave a major scale move it to match the chord and key but minimize the notes played like 1-4-7 note of the major scale while trying to find some melody?
Great video but after beggining the 3 notes per string approach i realised i couldnt stretch my hand far enough. I tried really hard and have now crippled my hand for the nect few days. I couldnt stretch far enough and keep hand posture neutral.
Keep that up and you can look forward to a musical career cut short as a best case scenario. Pain and discomfort should not be thought of as a "set" of lifting weight to be pushed through. It's an easy mistake to make, but a costly one

God I’m out of my depth watching this! I think i’ll stick to strumming my acoustic by the bbq at parties singing Beatles and Bob Dylan songs, what’s a rut note anyway, haha respect!!
Steve claims root is pronounced "ruht" in the Upper Midwest. It reminds me of my ex girlfriend who was from East Baltimore, and she pronounce the word "ruined" as in the food was ruined, as "roined". Some weird accents going on out there. Haha.

Man... the part about fourths...fifths, etc. makes me want to punch so many people in the face for over complicatimg this to the point of giving it up entirely twenty years ago
Mack Durr it’s not really over complicating it. Maybe for what you wanted to do. intervals are the names of the space between notes. Imo they are one of the ultimate ways of seeing and deeply understanding the fretboard, although it takes a little more work. Every interval has a specific sound in relation to the underlying chord. Maybe more useful when you want to use arpeggios or target specific notes to end on. Nobody was stopping you from just saying fuck it and having fun with shredding though.
Hi Darren. This is the shape of the C major scale in spread fingering. These are the frets (3 notes per string) 8,10,12 - 8,10,12 - 9,10,12 - 9,10,12 - 10,12,13 - 10,12,13. If you need more help on any other specific part of the video please feel free to add a time and I'll be happy to clarify. Hope this helps and thanks for your comment.

Just jumped into your lessons with this video. So well explained and demonstrated. Think I've found my guitar teacher!

You are the greatest Steve Stine !! Thanks for all you do my brother and friend 😊🤠
You don't get any better explanation than this. Thanks!
I think this is just what I needed to get me out of my progression rut I've been in, thank you.
Thanks from southkorea you are Big teacher!
Practical and crystal clear! This video is really helpful. Thanks Steve!
You are the best teacher on UA-cam. Wish l could the chance to get private lessons from you. Great Job sir!
Great lesson Steve! thanks!
Great lesson Steve!!
Brilliant thanks for a great lesson and for your time really helps
Regards dex
Thank you so much Steve!
Something people don't think about with the 5th is it is also right above the root if the root is on the A, D, or G strings
Awesome,cheers.
Hi. Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked the lesson. Any questions feel free to ask anytime!
Excellent info. Thanks a lot.
wow .... thank u steve .. your the best teacher
*you're
Haha
Maybe your best ever Steve....really turned on the 3 note per string light for me.....
Beautiful Sir
Great stuff man you’re clearly a legend, good luck to you sir
Good lesson Steve thanks for the post.
you are welcome!
Amazing lesson!
RUUT
Great teacher! 👍👍
Omg My favorite practice scale...didn’t know it was the C major scale 😬😬😬
Excellent ..thank you kindly.
You are very welcome, Lorne.
Great stuff man !!!!!!
Merry Christmas to u and family
Nice thanks Steve
7:58 priceless info..:-)
I like mixing pentatonic with Phrygian/Dorian modes and adding bends and hammerons/trills for flavor.
Renaissance Man Try mixing Harmonic minor and Phrygian mode. It sounds fuckin tasty and easternish
Thank you! 💡
Hey Steve, I've been dying to know something from you: what is your opinion on the whole 'CAGED vs. 3NPS' debate? ;-)
Steve your Vibrato is just a pleasure to watch and try to emulate !! Very distinct BB King-ish or that's what I see ???
Hey, Logan-5,
To be honest, I have always just thought about keeping it as smooth as I can, and then deciding how subtle or aggressive to make it relative to the situation :-)
Thanks Steve. How would this fit into the caged system? What other 3 notes per string shapes could I use as I travel up and down the neck?
Great lessons as always.
The three not per string system is an alternative to the CAGED system rather than something that would fit in it
getting the pinky into the playing is important too
Play Freebird!
Is that the Ibanez Jem 90th anniversary guitar?
Good lesson ........intervalic ...Yah
What's a rut? lol. Great video, thanks!
LOL .... my pleasure!
You gloss over this, but it is VERY useful to have three notes per string in economy picking.
How do you move that around though? Like are their different patterns for shape 2 like there are for the pentatonic?
Is this series (I can't find the other 6 lessons :/) included in the class linked "Unlock the Fretboard the EASY Way" or would that be a follow up to these teachings?
in pentagonic i am unable to move my both hands perfectly if one is moving in the right position other wrong

Can you play pentatonic scales with the 3 finger technique ?
No because pentatonic is a 5 note scale while the major and minor scales are 7 understand?
Loved the video but had to watch it several times to see what your fingers were doing. A different camera angle could have been better.
Interesting
Thanks for watching! :-)

This shape is universal correct? So say i moved it to the 3rd fret low e string then i would playing a g major scale correct?
Matt Smith yup

@@stinemusiclessons Just became a Premium member a couple of weeks ago. Great stuff.
Does anyone know what model Ibanez that is?
theAman67 Ibanez jem
At point did you say which frets you are are playing, it’s hard to see.
Man... the part about fourths...fifths, etc. makes me want to punch so many people in the face for over complicatimg this to the point of giving it up entirely twenty years ago

Now play your pentatonics 3 notes per string 😝
Bernth made a video about this technique.. it's also cool and possible
1k like 🤘
Makes me laugh everytime you say rut instead of root LOL.
don't slant the pick down and you'll sound MUCH better.
Impossible to see what notes you are playing
Hi Darren. This is the shape of the C major scale in spread fingering. These are the frets (3 notes per string) 8,10,12 - 8,10,12 - 9,10,12 - 9,10,12 - 10,12,13 - 10,12,13.

I like and very much appreciate your lessons but why always so much distortion? Annoying to me...sorry.
I like your lessons you're a good teacher but I really get tired of all that Distortion constantly
Thank you for everything!
Great video lesson Steve.
