I hope you guys enjoy the lesson! You can find the flipped fretboard diagrams over on my Patreon if you'd like them. And don't forget to check out my new course Listen & Play: andrewclarkeguitar.com/p/listen-play
@@lynfox1533 the course is more focused on keys and chords. Definitely very important to know if you want to get into improvising and soloing, but it doesn’t get into lead stuff if that’s more what you’re looking for.
@@anthonys3794 I am quite literally working on an Improvisation course as we speak 😁 I do everything myself, so it might take a couple months. But I promise it's on the way!
Just thinking about how they decided to make a guitar the way they did hundreds of years ago just blows me away. The arranging of the strings and frets to basically have everything connect and work with 4 fingers is genious.
First lesson I’ve seen combining scales to play a solo rather than just a minor pentatonic and it’s 5 shapes. I like the concept of a mish mash of scales in one area of the fretboard. Great ! Gonna try it.
After many years of pursuit, I finally found someone who made things precise and easy to understand the soloing concept rather than beating around the bush. Thanks Andrew🤘👍
Thanks for the lesson and the very useful backing tracks, Andrew, much appreciated. Completely agree, can't beat putting in the time and hearing what works as you go. It's great fun putting on a backing track and noodling with purpose and intent, the learning happens so much quicker when you put in the reps in a 'real world' scenario than just a metronome!
You are by far one of the better teachers I've found on here. I have subscribed! thank you for taking the time to show us these things we've been beating ourselves up over trying to learn and understand how it all comes together!
Thanks for the video Andrew. This really helps solidify what I've figured out on my own, with some new info. Appreciate the time and effort you took to make it!
Starting to catch on a little bit just need to go slow, & keep watching these videos over & over& over 👍thanks again for all the help Andrew. Maybe I'll learn this theory one day Lol cuz I play by ear.
Amazing video, I really appreciate your effort to help us to understand better how to use scales properly (while playing solos especially). And the way you explain things is very simple to understand, even for me who is not native English speaker.Well done, thanks a lot. You just got a new follower. Have a nice day and Merry Christmas. 😊
Thanks! I learned a lot from this lesson. Especially combining all the pentatonic related scales and the principle of following the chords of a song. Nice demo of that one.
Wow! I’ve been on and off trying to learn how to play the guitar for years and this video has unlocked something for me. Subscribe for sure! Thank you! 🙏🏾🙏🏾 whole new understanding
Thank you for 11:44 - 12:41. All this time, I thought you were to change the scale for EACH chord 💀Lesson learned: Just stay in the scale of the song's key and try to punctuate on the chord notes as they go by 💪
When you start the backing track at 13.40 I don't understand what is meant by F progression then later D progression if we're playing C major or A minor.
These chord progressions are from the key of C major/A minor. Chord progressions from this key can contain any mix of the 7 chords that exist naturally inside the key: C Major, D Minor, E Minor, F Major, G Major, A Minor, B Diminished.

0:04 Really enjoy your direct no nonsense approach to teaching! I’ve been playing for a years and it great to start understanding what I’ve been doing! Also……how do you produce your backing tracks? They’re awesome! Keep it going!
@@stanbailey232 thank you! Funny, I actually just posted a video on my Patreon about my backing track creation process. It’s pretty simple. Guitars and bass into logic (I use a real amp for guitars). Programmed drums. Minimal plugins. Nothing too fancy 😅
Not at the moment. I am looking to take on a few private students in the future if they're the right fit though. Feel free to send me a quick email and we can chat more: andrewclarkeguitar@gmail.com
Maybe some ppl know how to intake this info I just don't know if my brain can absorb it....most theory lessons just sounds like a bunch of words to me.... N by the time they get to the practical part I've involuntarily tuned them out I don't even know if everyone is capable of knowing this stuff or if it's just for chads
I like the lesson but im spending more time trying to figure out the backwards scale diagram then I am the lesson. After many year's of seeing it the other way it just adds frustration to the lessons.
I don't know scales. That's why I'm here lol. I just play by ear. Been playing for 28 years and I'm trying to understand why things work. ... This is confusing
Blah blah blah I had to leave after 10 seconds of no scales shown I’m not checking the video for commentary just which frets and strings to play dude. Jesus

Does your listen and play course compliment this lesson or visa versa
@@lynfox1533 the course is more focused on keys and chords. Definitely very important to know if you want to get into improvising and soloing, but it doesn’t get into lead stuff if that’s more what you’re looking for.
Are there plans to create new courses? Particularly ones about improvising?

It wasn’t just designed like this from the get go. It evolved. It wasn’t always six strings that were tuned to EADGBE.
But the guitar we know today was not even around 100 years ago.
Tell you what’s not genius
Your spelling
Jk
Excellent instruction,this young man knows what he is doing , and how to coherently lay it out.Steller teaching!!!!!
I really appreciate that! Thank you so much ☺

This video is soo goodd i almost cried. This is quality content. Thank you so much Sir.
This mad such a difference in my soloing. You really opened up what was available to me. Thank you
Best tutor. It's fascinating how it all comes together with each lesson
Thank you so much. I'm happy to hear that it helps :)

I thought the same thing for a long time as well. Big revelation shen I learned that wasn't the case. Thanks for watching! :)
bro this has helped so much thank you !!
thanks man this video i want to find thanks to you
You're welcome!
So, say you're in C Major, can you go both up and down to a relative minor, or just one direction?
do you have a tutorial for the number method that you said? to know where the notes in the scale quickly?
thank you❤

BRAVO, EXCELLENT.
Hey idk if it's just me but I like the neck diagrams flipped upside down so it looks the same as our point of view when we play. Just some feedback :)
Can you make a video about how to learn a solo from any song ?
Ok I got this 😵💫
Very well explained. Thank you.😂😊
You're welcome 😊
I'm trying to learn the pentagramic scale
After figuring out the frets backwards i notice its Aeolian connected to Locrian.
Yes, Aeolian is the 6th mode of the major scale and Locrian is the 7th.
Wish you had a class on how to grow marijuana
😂😂
How does a seven note scale have 17 notes in it?
Do you do private guitar lessons by any chance?
Not at the moment. I am looking to take on a few private students in the future if they're the right fit though. Feel free to send me a quick email and we can chat more: andrewclarkeguitar@gmail.com
@@andrewclarkeguitar I would also be interested in that!
I like the video but I don't like that the picture on 8:18 is reversed.

Your scale diagrams are the wrong way up I was llke what's going on here lol
Can someone call for search and rescue please… NOODLES is lost..

you talk a lot
How else is he supposed to get his lesson across? Sign language?
Yes, that tends to be the case when diving into music theory lol
?
@@StevenSmolak what could you possibly be confused about
rude 😭
He does not know what he is doing .
Was there something I shared in this video that you'd do differently? I'd be happy to listen to any feedback you have ☺ Thanks for watching!
This comment needs to get thumbs downed into oblivion...
@@andrewclarkeguitarI think it would be helpful to explain in these the MmmMMmDim as that is the true 1-7
Dudes just a troll, or they would have explained why. Stop writing stupid comments and go practice.
How so? Back up your claim or move on.
