  • 5 notes, 5 boxes & the whole neck. These 5 boxes / shapes are the “Meat & Potatoes” of guitar playing because they sound great over many styles of music, and are relatively easy to start improvising with.

    Thanks all your videos.. I've been working on my speed and working through the patterns in your speed videos. Hope it's ok if I ask a question here as thinking your more likely to see my message. You showed in the first speed vid how you hold the pick. I've changed my pick holding to this after 8 years of playing but what are you doing when playing rhythm like strumming chords - are you changing your pick grip? Also, when holding the pick are you holding it with a tight grip or loose? Thanks again mate..

      Oh that’s a tough one. I don’t really think about it. I guess I used to when I was starting out but that was over 30 years ago 😎. Whatever feels good and gets the job done I guess.
      Maybe I need to think about it and do a video about it 🤔.

    And what if your root note doesn't start on the top (low E) string?

    • @EugeValovirta230V
      @EugeValovirta230V  3 роки тому +1

      I’m not sure if I understand what you mean. The boxes are the boxes and for example on the A minor’s first box the root note A is on the 5th fret of low E string, 7th fret of D string and 5th fret of high E string. And in many other places across the neck.
      The shape of the boxes stays the same no matter the key.

    • @_Ep0ch_
      @_Ep0ch_ 3 роки тому +1

      Those box patterns can be moved around depending on what key you want to play in. Remember that the notes along the fretboard from open to the twelfth fret make one octave. So for instance, if you want to play the G pentatonic minor, that first box pattern that he showed would start with the root note on the third fret of the low E string. All the box patterns would be shifted down one whole step (2 half steps) down for this key. Make sense?

    I love that you're playing that Phoenix a lot lately. I really love that guitar's look and specs. Is there significant neck dive? The only thing I don't like is the gloss finish on the back of the neck. ESP could have easily made it satin like other guitar manufacturers are doing. I might also consider switching the bridge pickup to a Dimarzio Dominion (if you haven't tried it, you should. To me it sounds better than any active pickup). The Custom is cool though, but can be a bit bright/brittle. That Phat Cat is amazing though. It's either this or a Charvel tele-style.
    Thank you for going through this. It is something I definitely need to practice. It would have been nice to have the tab flipped 180 degrees so it would have matched your neck/fretboard. It was kind of confusing at first until I realized the tab was flipped. Thanks! I do enjoy your channel.

    I was wondering why you down pick the first 2 notes, then alt pick the rest starting with an up stroke?

    • @EugeValovirta230V
      @EugeValovirta230V  3 роки тому +2

      I did? Probably by accident ’cos I played really slowly. But when I’m playing fast I alternate pick and sometimes start with downstroke, sometimes with upstroke, sometimes with economy picking and occasionally even sweep picking; whatever comes naturally and gets the job done and feels the most natural / easy.
