I'm a GMM member & these free UA-cam videos are very helpful as well. I recommend becoming a member, it's great course for those who either want to just pick up a guitar & wow some friends all the way up to becoming the musician you have dreamed of. Even if you're over 50, this course is very easy to follow & it's all on you to practice at least 10 minutes a day & you'll be blown away what a month of learning & practicing, mental & physical daily learning will accelerate you farther than you can imagine
After a brush with death this summer, I realized life's too short to postpone pursuing your passions. At 43 years old, I finally picked up the guitar, an instrument I'd always longed to play. Starting from scratch, I began watching your videos regularly. My playing and health is getting better every day. It's never too late to chase a dream!! Keep the videos coming.
I’m 70 yrs young and finally some body showed me what I’ve been waiting on. You have the camera on your right hand and show in detail your left hand. Now finally I can put this together. ( slow but sure). Thanks Eddie glad I found you.
Hello from Canada, thank you for your way to understand lessons, I’m 52 and you’re the first instructor I’ve had or watched that talks like a down to earth guy and not a stuck band member just trying to make cash. Keep up the great work🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Super valuable lesson. Keeping it simple and building off of 2 chords all over the fretboard is a great exercise. Then when you've got that....3 chords....and you're off and running....
I'm a 65-year-old self-taught guitarist and playing for 23 years these are the best learning lessons on how to really play guitar I don't mean songs but playing little licks that will help you sound good You've helped my playing incredibly since I found you station here I love it and you're a great player and a great teacher thank you
Dang man! THANK YOU! I had the tools, just needed to know where to put them to work! Even my wife was like, damn that sounds good. She has NEVER said that, and ive been noodling off and on for decades.
I'm 68 and relarning the guitar after 51 years. I promised myself that I would learn "The Right Way". Through the serendipitous intervention of the Rock Gods, I'm taking weekly lessons with a bona fide touring rock star whom I shouldn't mention in an open forum. While she's on tour in Europe, I supplement my practice with sources like Guitar Mastery Method and it has proven to be INVALUABLE. The instruction style is easy to follow, makes sense, and I'm learning theory as a bonus. Thank you 10,000,000 times over for these lessons!
Tony Iommi uses a lot of triads and diads. He bases a lot of his stuff off of the blues scale, which is essentially a minor pentatonic with the added flattened 5th. I admired him growing up and tried to emulate him. Then when I was older and started learning the blues and the pentatonic scale I just naturally threw those diads and triads in. I was already doing slides. I learned a lot watching and listening to Tony Iommi play.
Thankyou so much Eddyville, lol. You are still my #1 instructor bud. You n Steve Stine got me hooked. I only played bass all my life til lockdown shitshow. That's when I came across you folks n haven't looked back since. Love the work and passion that you so naturally convey. Keep up th xcellent work mang!!
Hello from Germany's north-sea coast... while summer prepared to its end, I felt over your fantastic opportunity playing the right blues sound what I was looking over dozens of years for. In fact, less is mostly more. I am aware of triads, but couldn't connect them yet to its right sounding. Thank you for your simplicity of explications. Well done ! 👍
Great video. Chords and lead lines have always had a giant barrier between them that I couldn't connect. I'm going to have to watch this like four more times, but this is the missing piece I've needed.
Thank you..ive been teaching myself for 3 yrs and have been in a rutt, not in a band just self pleasure, learning songs is great but not rewarding i forget it if time goes by..then i found this lesson and explored your work..man i think you have giving me new wings to play by myself and feel great about usefull knowledge i can make part of my dna, as you say,...i may even dabble w soloing ,you make it doable...mahalo
Great lesson. After years of playing scales and chords trying to connect major and minor. Coming up with new chords. This lesson fills in the gaps to allow for smooth transitions. Thank you.
I've been wanting to play over chords forever now. I tired the caged system and it didn't help like I hope it would. But then I stumbled upon this video and now I'm stating to sound the way I always wanted. One of my biggest goals is to become a really good power trio guitar player and you open up the door thanks so much Steven
I know this comment is gonna get lost at the bottom, but man...I really learned something here. I always wondered how to connect chords like that and you explained it in a way that I just got it. I'm a beginner, playing about 6 months now, but I was just playing stuff others had made, imitating, if you will. I just tried it, and realised I wasn't copying you, I was just making music. It wasn't great, but it was mine, just coming out of my hands. Awesome video man!
Hey Eddie - this is just genius! The right lesson at the right time for my playing. If I can get this down, it will enable me to just pick up the guitar and play something interesting. Thank you! Sinclair (U.K.)
What a great lesson! Thank you very much. I've come out of it with a feeling like when I first saw the image in an autostereogram. The lesson just made a bunch of things I knew independently from each other connect together. Cheers!
Great lesson mate! Opened my eyes to whole new way of attacking the fretboard - keep up the great work mate! I look forward to checking out more of your lessons!!!
I had to stop playing my guitar for personal reasons, but the need to make music wouldn't leave me alone, so I've been playing piano with my daughter. What's funny is that I just started to understand the concept this exact lesson is teaching, only days before seeing it. All it took was playing on another instrument to open my mind up a bit.
I've been changed by the Both of you and there's was a point that I Never expected to actually happen and I have spent more than 20 year's being average. But out of my daily playing and I am talking 5-7 hrs every day and going through many of Eddie's videos and jumped into a bit more extreme with Charlie. But my point is that I broke through a barrier that I didn't know existed but it most certainly does exist. I can simply say this go back to before you started playing and start over in a different way, as a student not learning as I did was mostly zero tech. The new people who want to change their lives you've got it made by leaps and bounds, compared to the way it was done in the 70s,80s, and even into the 90s. I am still playing everyday and after seeing this video you gave me an idea...Take care never give up the outcome of your time will come back to you 10 fold if not more...🎸
Awesone guitar. I have a '66 335 and a 2000-something Heritage 555 (a blinged out model of their 335 equivalent). I am quite partial to semi-hollow bodies. Good video too. I liked. Thank you.
Great job on this! The focus on the 1/4 chords and single notes, in 3 positions is a complete lesson,and though been playing for years I learned a "new" grove. Like to see another just like this one, but minor! Keep up the good work!
You are pedalling back and forth between the 1 and 4 chord. Great lesson, thanks. You can do this in a twelve bar blues over the long, boring first four bars of 1 chord. Really makes it much more interesting.
Love your videos! I’ve played for 36 years, but my soloing has always sucked. You are an excellent instructor. Can you learn creativity, or is that something you either have or don’t have?
Hello Eddie 👋 Doug Smith, from Denver… student from GMM. It’s good to see you again, always so awesome to look at your lessons, I learned so much! Hope you and your family are doing well.
Super lesson Eddie, I can see using these tricks in every genre I'm playing (jazz, blues, country rock, even classical style) Thanks for this inspiration mate.
Hiya mate, really love this video and the technique. Another tip for beginners trying this for the first time could be to record themselves playing the rhythm guitar on their phones and then put the solo licks on top of that? Keep up the good work mate 👍

Regardless of whether you are over 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 OR EVEN 80! .... practice makes perfect.
Me too, I'm 63.

You got me by a year-69 and still learning every day 🎸
72 here and wishing I had these videos 50 years ago
I also
I'm 69 and I was too old too learn playing the guitar.
53. Lol
Hello from Canada, thank you for your way to understand lessons, I’m 52 and you’re the first instructor I’ve had or watched that talks like a down to earth guy and not a stuck band member just trying to make cash. Keep up the great work🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This is an unbelievably good lesson. 16 minutes of actual value added instruction. Outstanding.
Wholeheartedly, agree!
Exactly... INTELLIGENT lesson
Not just learning a song
Super valuable lesson. Keeping it simple and building off of 2 chords all over the fretboard is a great exercise. Then when you've got that....3 chords....and you're off and running....

Heck yeah man, this is what its all about!
Keep playing bro
Really excellent. He seems not to have forgotten that he too was a beginner. Excellent teaching skills. Thank you.
This is great for an intermediate player like myself. Great information without getting bogged down in theory. Thanks!
Yes, thank you. You’re helping me, an old dog, learn new tricks.

Here we have a real teacher!!! Now I can say that I´m the best guitarist in my house. Great lesson!!
that was the best short guitar lesson I have ever heard - I tried it and got it immediately - fantastic - i
I subscribed right away
Never get tired of listening , creative playing !!
This is a rarity with YT vids. You showed some extremely practical method! Thank you.
Man, your lessons come naturally.
I am not overstating that this had to be the most valuable video lesson I ever saw.

Thank you for your simplicity of explications. Well done ! 👍
Thank you sir first video I’ve found to break this down in a way I can understand. Years of searching
Very nice exercise while being alone and spend hours to explore. Thanks Eddie. Cheers from Indonesia.
Great video. Chords and lead lines have always had a giant barrier between them that I couldn't connect. I'm going to have to watch this like four more times, but this is the missing piece I've needed.

Thank you Guitar God's for people like this guy for the helpful tips
Best lessons are like this: well presented, and easily implemented. Getting my guitar now to try this.
You sir.....are one of the best guitar teacher's i've ever come across. It's a very hard skill to simplify complex guitar patterns. Thank you
You're one of the best on here, you leave people with the enthusiasm to give it a go. You're a friendly guy too. Thanks for helping us.
Great step by step lesson! I’ll be back for more! Thx! 👍
Superb!!! You, sir, are simply the best guitar teacher on YT.

As always Eddie, you knocked it out of the park. Awesome lesson. Thanks!
Great, clear and concise step by step lesson. Thanks Eddy
Omg!!! I've been waiting for this advice for 40 years..thank you so much
You always make learning feel smooth and easy.
Very helpful, very simple but sometimes less is more, I enjoyed watching this and making it part of my blues licks repertoire. Thanks!!
Cool info, man - just right for my level.
What I've een looking for.
Bro amazing video, I really learned a lot keep making this vids brother God Bless You ❤✝️
This channel is pure gold! The tempo and how straight forward it is on each lesson. 🫡🤘🏻
I'm going to do this every day for 2 weeks to get into the habit then make this a part of my learning :)
Excellent lesson - Thank you & Cheers from Seattle!
Eddie, what an excellent tutorial. It has opened up a whole new range of possiblitlies for 'solo' soloing.
Wonderful lesson. I’ve been looking for this. I love how you call them “neighborhoods”. That helped things click
Love how you break down these inversions. Allows me to up my rhythm and soloing game. Thanks!
Hey Eddie - this is just genius! The right lesson at the right time for my playing. If I can get this down, it will enable me to just pick up the guitar and play something interesting. Thank you! Sinclair (U.K.)
What a great lesson! Thank you very much. I've come out of it with a feeling like when I first saw the image in an autostereogram. The lesson just made a bunch of things I knew independently from each other connect together. Cheers!
Love this. I've picked up guitar again after a long break....I know all the components of this... But the combo is awesome
FANTASTIC lesson ! This helped me immensely….& like others have said here, You are a great teacher ! 💥🎸💥
loved how you explained the lesson
You’re a good man, Eddie
Great lesson mate! Opened my eyes to whole new way of attacking the fretboard - keep up the great work mate! I look forward to checking out more of your lessons!!!
Great video there’s still a fair bit of technique and solid rhythm but this is accessible and well delivered 🙏🏻
I had to stop playing my guitar for personal reasons, but the need to make music wouldn't leave me alone, so I've been playing piano with my daughter. What's funny is that I just started to understand the concept this exact lesson is teaching, only days before seeing it. All it took was playing on another instrument to open my mind up a bit.
This was very helpful. Love it! Been playing a long time but it was great to see this laid out the way you laid it out here.
I've been changed by the Both of you and there's was a point that I Never expected to actually happen and I have spent more than 20 year's being average.

Thanks Eddie, great lesson. ✌️
Love this blues lesson.
Awesone guitar. I have a '66 335 and a 2000-something Heritage 555 (a blinged out model of their 335 equivalent). I am quite partial to semi-hollow bodies. Good video too. I liked. Thank you.
I like this i got the lessons of the fretboard conveyor belt in my computer thanks Eddie and Charlie!!
It's been a while, this video really turned me in right now,
I wish I can go back to learning the guitar
Brilliant lesson. Thank you so much. So pleased I found you.
Exciting information, thanks.
Great job on this!
The focus on the 1/4
chords and single notes,
in 3 positions is a complete
lesson,and though been playing
for years I learned a "new" grove.
Like to see another just like this one,
but minor!
Keep up the good work!
Brilliant, simple, and fun!!! Thank you. You just earned a subscriber!! !
TY
This is a great lesson!
You are pedalling back and forth between the 1 and 4 chord. Great lesson, thanks. You can do this in a twelve bar blues over the long, boring first four bars of 1 chord. Really makes it much more interesting.
Great job, as always, Eddie! I appreciate you brother!
Earned a sub. Thanks Bud.
Thanks Eddie 👍
Love your videos! I’ve played for 36 years, but my soloing has always sucked. You are an excellent instructor. Can you learn creativity, or is that something you either have or don’t have?
