I get asked this all the time...which beginner guitars do I recommend?
Electric: Yamaha Pacifica. The most versatile electric guitar for the beginner and beyond. they do rock, blues, jazz and metal and anything else you can think of! I LOVE them!
amzn.to/3gecQ8R
Acoustic: Cort AF510 - These have a folk sized body, which is a smaller sized body better for lady chests, and donut bellies. I've sold lots of these guitars to students and they're impressively well put together. I always have a bunch in when I teach my live guitar classes at my music school.

I have played the guitar on and off for decades (more off in recent years) and always had issues with certain notes on the fretboard. This video has helped greatly! Thanks for the info and the simplistic way you explain it.
Thankyou
Thank you - This is brilliant - so much help in this video
I was actually able to grasp something and it wasn't much of a baa'le ! Thank you sir !
Suds on me if ur in the Okanagan, British Columbia anytime! This is gold brother, much thanx!
This is wonderful! I never comment to anybody. I am 67 years old and for the first time I can start to understand the notes on the fret board. Many thanks!
There are 4 main Grids! The second grid lesson is coming soon!
First few minutes I'm thinking, "What the heck kind of kooky stuff is this?" And then I keep listening and suddenly, "WHAT?! Is it really THIS EASY?!? I should've stumbled on this sooner!" Talk about a revelation and one of the biggest epiphanies I've had in a good while! Can't thank you enough for this. I have no more words!
I just found this video. What a find!!!!!
@trukkastanleyJ 😂😂😂😂😂
well, sure you do, lad! Here they are then:
"Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles's Father". Right. Give it a go...
@@DJMerck He has no more words
Me too!
Wow, it all makes sense now! The first time this has been explained in such a simple manner! 5 stars! This has to be the best instructional video and I've been playing for 50 years!
Right there with you - this video is gold
Been trying to memorize the fretboard for a while now, and this is simply the best video on youtube. Can't believe it's six years old... This mnemonic should be in every video on this topic by now
I've been playing the guitar for nearly 60 years and about 10 years ago I started reading the music. I have had the first 5 frets pretty much memorized but have been having trouble retaining the rest of the fret board. Your BEADGCF tip has started opening up a bunch of other patterns in my head. Thanks Mate!
Extremely helpful. Can we have a moment of silence for Charles's father?
what if the battle was that charles father was trying to abolish guitars??
No Death By Stereo. His battle was with HIV. It was the eighties and he lost.
@@Kreecher82 I have an easter egg for you here ua-cam.com/video/h1ldjZHIRog/v-deo.html
F
Maybe Charles's Father is actually celebrating the end of battle with Charles's Mother...
I used to play out professionally, never knowing a damn thing about the instrument. Several years ago, in an attempt to expunge all of my acquired bad habits, I put the guitars down. The time has come to begin anew, hopefully having lost most of the muscle memory and mental blocks from before. I am beginning with theory, before even picking the instruments up again. I just happened on this video Ricky. I will not be looking any further for support materials for mastering the fretboard for quite some time, maybe never again! Take this revelation, add in discipline and you have a formula for success. You have unlocked a door for me my friend and I wanted to publicly thank you for that. This is quite possibly the single best little nugget of instruction one could ever hope to receive. Well done. Thank You again.
Hi Robert. Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to write them. UA-cam is amazing isn't it?! Sure, I get some really daft and weird comments but comments which can make you doubt yourself and the notion of doing a UA-cam channel. However, comments like yours REALLY MAKE MY DAY. It spurs me on to make more videos. I LOVE teaching guitar and to be able to share it with like-minded people regardless of what country they are in still astounds me.
Thank you again, my friend. I would love to see you in the chat on a live broadcast here on UA-cam :)
Finally, someone who will talk to me like I’m an 8 year old while teaching guitar!
Sometimes my brain just needs time and repition to absorb a concept, because it’s in overdrive on account of ignorance/confusion crushing any reason. Too many teachers will go: 1, 2 (ok, got it), skip a few (wait, what?), 99, 100 (oook, nevermind).
My battle with learning the fretboard just ended! This man deserves a Nobel prize
I know right. I started playing when I was 17, 35 now and this just made my guitar neck click in my brain.
Now the real battle begins.
Like... What if someone says find the 'F' note in G string I mean it's gonna take some time.
Really I agree with you brother.This is very helpful to us.
I've been an average bass player playing only by ear for over 50 years. I have recently begun to learn some basic guitar and I have been overwhelmed by the idea of learning the notes on the neck. This is the first time I have ever seen something like this,.....and it has given it organization and simplicity. Thanks
Eyup Brian! If you get rid of the B and Thin E string this makes even more sense for bass as the kink in the tuning is eliminated!
I just noticed that this video is over 4 years old, so I'm hope I'm not too late to the party. I'm at the earliest stages of my journey and determined to learn the fretboard early on, although its 2D array makes that trickier than a keyboard's 1D arrangement. In that pursuit, I've looked at a *lot* of resources for tips, tricks and hacks and this is by *far* the most helpful one I've come across. While none of the information is exactly new or groundbreaking for me, the way it's integrated has given me hope. As you mentioned at around the 9:00 mark, I got the E string layouts rather quickly and 'A' is coming along, but the prospect of the other three and keeping it all straight has been a bit daunting. Thank you so much for this trail of bread crumbs!
I learned to play back in the 80s, then two marriages and three kids intervened. My youngest son is about to finish school and I've picked up my old guitars and started playing in a covers band. I decided that it's time I learned the notes on the fretboard, and Google brought me here. Absolute genius mate...from one grey-haired guitarist to another...my hat is off to you...and thank you very much.
R.I.P Charles' Father, that was a hell of a battle mate.
F
Hahahaha
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
I read this before starting the video and was confused as hell. 😂
🤦♂️
18yrs of playing the guitar and this is the first time this actually makes sense to me. Going back to basics to teach someone else, you just made it so much easier for me :D
Simply amazing! I've watched hundreds of guitar videos on notes, scales, etc. I've been playing over 20 years and do pretty decent but I've had to learn the hard way (no scales or note names). This is by far the most informative video I've seen. Good job man! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Excellent explanation Ricky - clear and concise. I've been playing guitar for over 60 years and I've got away with not knowing the notes I've been playing throughout this time. My musical tastes have changed and, instead of Chuck Berry etc. with a bass player and a drummer, I now play Celtic melodies with fiddle, pipe and accordion players. This means I have to learn to read music notation to keep up with my talented fellow musicians! Before I can do that, I have to learn the fretboard. This has helped enormously and yes, I learned it in (less than) a day. Thanks Ricky.
This is THE video I’ve been searching for. It actually teaches a repeated pattern that exists on the neck. It’s opened a whole new world of understanding. Thank you! I’m totally psyched.
This should be one of the first things taught when anyone begins to learn guitar
This, the chromatic scale, WWHWWWH -> major scale, keys and root notes, chord building and the playing cowboy chords with transitions between, some easy songs. My opinion should be the first 3 - 6 months of a beginner regimen.
I couldn’t have said it better myself
@@PlanktoniusRex is learning this as simple as watching it on UA-cam? Or do you recommend an alternative?
Finally someone who doesn't plug their website book or lessons all video.
But actually he deserves more donations than those other guitar youtube guys
*cough* Yourguitarsage *cough*
Johnny Johnny he’s the worst!
I like his explanation over Beatos.
Discount code!
@@deano6410 he's definitely the worst of the worst
That is the clearest description of the fretboard I've seen. THANK YOU. I knew there had to be a pattern.
I’m 39 years old. In my 10th grade Music Theory class I learned the way to memorize it as: (B)oiled (E)ggs (A)re (D)elicious, (G)o (C)ook (F)ive. It’s hard to get that out of my head at this point. Haha. Great video!
My OCD tells me there would be 1 egg left in the egg box...What are you doing to me Scott? The reason I use Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles Father is it's the order of the flats in the flat key signatures. If you reverse the story it still makes sense and is the order of sharps in the sharp keys. I only want to remember 1 mnemonic and this one is a doozy. thanks for watching buddy :)
@@rickysguitar Ricky, you crack me up with this comment (egg 🥚 pun not intended). I’m from Massachusetts..maybe its an American thing..or my theory teacher was just a weirdo. To remember the order of sharps, we used: (F)ive (C)ats (G)ot (D)rowned (A)t (E)ast (B)ay. Cheers Mate!!!
The only problem with that is you can't go backwards for your circle of fifths - "Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle.
I don't know if they use that for guitar, but its essential for piano.
@@brandont4693 The Charles Father one is definitely the better mnemonic device in hindsight. Lol. Always always learning/unlearning new things.
well in that case the 4th would be a G right ?! like i have seen on most circle of fiths and 4ths, it never goes to the E has he have in there !! that shit confuse the hell out of me... again !
So useful. Especially as I've just started bass after years on guitar- no pesky 3rd gap as no 5th string! Love it.
How much time did it take to play bass is it very different
I watched this video 2 years ago when I started learning and I was completely bamboozled. Now it makes sense, and I can already easily find notes on my fretboard. Glad I came back again. Thanks for the great video!
I found this video a few years ago when. I re-started playing guitar as an adult. It’s so helpful as others have pointed out. I watch it every few months as a reminder, and I love the way you say “learn the guitar fretboard dead easily.” It cracks me up. Thank you!
I feel like I owe you money! That was hands down, the best theory lesson I’ve ever been shown. Many many thanks.
simplified, clear concise and easy to remember, this is honestly the most important thing anybody can learn on the guitar
This is AWESOME. Every other video "teaches" you to learn the fretboard simply by counting the notes on each string one by one from the nut. This actually shows the relationship / pattern of the notes ACROSS the fretboard. Now I feel confident that I can find the strings that are near / adjacent to the note I'm playing, instead of just the note before or after on the same string. Genius!
My Method: I just learned the E and the A String.
The D String is the E String, just 2 Freds higher.
The G Tring is the A String, just 2 Freds higher.
And the B String is the A String just 2 Freds lower.
But your video is also very usefull :) I´m looking forward to also learn your method.
Greetings from germany!
Maybe I am not following you. Mabye it's just your wording but it seems like you have it backwards. D is lower than E e.g., (D D#/Eb E.) G is also lower than A in the same manner. Lastly, B is higher than A.
@@UTAH100 D is lower than E. Thats right but what i mean is finding the same note. E on E string is just playing it open. (0 fred). To find the E on the D string is just moving 2 freds up. So for me its higher because i have to move higher on the fred Board. But maybe its just my wording. English is my second language. :) greetings
@@TingleTangleJones I get what you mean now. Looking at it relative to the open string what you say makes sense. I figured it was something like that. I was thinking in terms of tone- you were referencing physical location. I guess what matters most is how it sounds!
Cheers!
This is an example of the beauty of UA-cam!! Thank you!!
Hey Ryan. People like yourself who comment and appreciate the value of content help to keep UA-cam beautiful. Totally appreciated comment buddy
The You Tube
The first time I watched this, I didn't really understand what you were trying to do...now, months later, it makes perfect sense! THANK YOU!
@@rickysguitar I am so confused 😬
@@petrupasniciuc6138 Did you learn your E string first?
ua-cam.com/video/bDZYmhIlS4A/v-deo.html
As a primarily self-taught player, I cannot tell you how invaluable this lesson has been for me. I've been going through the process of memorizing the low E and A strings but wondering if there was maybe another way to help visualize the fretboard. Thanks!
Just revisiting this video again. It really is superb. Perfectly uses what most guitarist already know (E, A & high E strings) as well as giving a stable theory platform for later use of intervals. Brilliantly constructed & great presentation. Thanks!
Ricky this is amazing - thank you so much for posting the video. It’s taught me more about the fretboard than I’ve learned in the past ten years
I'm a brand new guitarist and just would like to say, thank you, and that this video is exactly what I've needed and been looking for 👌👍😁🎸
Being a beginner (3,4,5 chord campfire "guitarist") this was really helpful and understandable. I'm really happy and made my day crossing over to this! Now let's see how long it's going to take now that I learn the fretboard. Many thanks to You, Ricky!
How far did you get after 4 years?
Best explanation of the fretboard on UA-cam, by far. Your passion for the guitar and teaching are infectious. Thank you .
Wow, I can’t believe I finally understand this, I followed along and stared taking notes 📝. I actually drew the fretboard too and cycle of 4th. It’s finally making sense. Now next thing is to tube my guitar and watch your other videos. Thanks a lot.
Started learning this 3 days ago and now I know the whole fretboard l have been struggling for a long time to do this until I learnt the pneumonic phrase and it's a perfect fit amazing how it works!!!!
As others have said, no frills and fancy stuff, just a very clear and helpful explanation. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to post this.
Thank you for watching Gary. Means a tonne buddy :)
I have watched many videos on this topic. All of them taught by people who clearly know what they’re talking about. I’m not bashing them at all, but as is this case when trying to learn anything, you eventually find someone or some thing that explains it in such a way that it all clicks. This gentleman has given me that click. I feel like I now have a solid base from which I may be able to finally get this once and for all. Thank you sir.
Thank you! I've been playing for years and never really learned the fretboard until now. That makes perfect sense - and I never saw the pattern of 4ths on the fretboard before!
I've been playing for three years and been terrified of learning the frets because it seems so daunting. Honestly this is the best video I've ever seen on the topic. Honestly can't believe this is the first I've ever heard of this. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Just thank you
I just keep coming back to how amazing this is. Hopefully I remember when I get paid so I can send you some money for that beer. Life changing stuff man
Best way of describing / teaching the fretboard I've ever seen, really good stuff
Hey Kev. I appreciate your kind words. Thanks for watching. I'm thinking of doing a Fretboard Q&A at some point live next week!
I'm 62 and had an on off love with guitar all my life, got to know a few songs just enough to where people could recognize them and could add lib a little with pentatonic blues riffs and never was able to learn the neck. I thought I was going to have to post a little sticky note under each note and play the neck over and over until it sank in. I've got ms also so my learning is a bit sketchy, this really called out to me the first watch. This is the trick for me, so clear, it's beautiful. Thank you so much.
Same age and problem. Have stickers all over the fret board that are coming off tonight.
This has been the single most helpful video I’ve seen on the web so far. Very clear and my learning has taken a leap thanks to you.
Having recently learned the order of sharps and flats this trick instantly clicked for me. Awesome video man!
Have you checked out my circle of 3rds video? I’m guessing you’re learning how to sight read key signatures if you’ve been looking at sharps and flats. I have a lesson in the planner looking at why learning keys and key signatures is vital to being able to play any genre everywhere on the guitar. Thank you for watching and dropping a comment:)
@@rickysguitar right here, you convinced me to subscribe.
Been playing about 3 years now. I figured this out about 6 months ago and could never find anyone that was teaching it. I almost made a video about it because there was just nothing out there. Thanks for the video.
Great minds think alike ;) Thanks for commenting Adam. I appreciate you taking the time to do so :)
No you didn't
I can't believe I never thought of this on my own. I've been playing a long time and only recently decided I should learn them all. When I read the write up and saw B (EADG) it all fell in place and I got it. Thank you so so much.
Wow, this was actually super enlightening. No video or lesson I've ever watched, explained exactly HOW the circle of 4ths is applied to the guitar fretboard. Amazing 👏
So easy, amasing how stunned I am to finally get the gist! Wow great job! Thank you so much! Finally understood fingerboard notes. Yay!
As a beginner, this is extremely helpful for me. Thank you !!
I'm starting to learn about EADGBE and CDEFGABC, and now starting to figure out the puzzle pieces. This is awesome. I need to put this all on paper !
I wish I could share photos here. I understand the fretboard now. I use old fashioned pen and paper, and write it down. I'm learning !!
Thank you, Ricky! I have owned a guitar for over two years but its only begun to make sense now. I can actually play something sensible now after watching your video!!
This Video is really an eye opener for me and enables me to memorize the fretboard much easier and faster.
Many thanks for this great video.
Absolutely enlightening! Thanks so much for this! I have been playing for over 20 years and this video has helped me more in 14 minutes than just about anything else I have tried! You are awesome sir!
Yes, I'll admit I'm a little awesome, but then so are YOU Mike! Thank you for taking the time to watch my silly video and even more for commenting. Much appreciated my friend :)
Been playing 50 odd years and never progressed beyond the hardest cover song, never learned beyond the E string, this has opened up the fingerboard to me, thanks and also Bert weedon helped a little.
Thanks for commenting. Glad it helped. God bless Bert. I have one of his original instructional books which came with an awful plectrum!
I remember the plec shape,like a house lol, I had exact same guitar but did not say Bert Weedon on it, came from boosey and hawkes and was prototype for his model (which was essentially a gibson 330/ epiphone casino type hollowbody) wish I still had it! de-armond dynasonics and bigby.
Anyway thanks again, greetings from Pontefract.
i dont understand why you havent learned more? im not dissing you. And things are 100000 times easier now with the net. But why wouldnt someone who'd been playing more than a few years learn theory and especially know the fretboard? Again not dissing you. You made a Choice
This is the clearest lesson I've seen on this I've been trying to learn this for months thankyou for such an amazing lesson I'm finally starting to understand the fretboard
This is just really good. I already know the notes on the fretboard well, but this just gives an instant relation between strings that is very useful.
This is so very helpful to me to memorize the notes, thank you.
+Larry Chan Thanks for commenting Larry. Glad the video helped :)

Seriously THE BEST video on how to do this! You earned a sub!
Aw *blushes... Thank you for watching and commenting. Stoked you found the video useful :)
There are so many helpful tricks to make sense of the fretboard. This is definitely one of the better ones.
This is soooo good lesson that I have been ooking for and no UA-camrs bother to talk about. Makes more sense how guitar works.
I started playing guitar from scratch one month ago. I've sat with about five different friends and I've started reading three different books about understanding this concept. None of it sunk in. I turned to you tube and watched a few videos. Still, it didn't quite click. I was seriously starting to think I'm just brain-damaged and will never comprehend it. Then, here's your video- the one that made sense to me after everyone else was like greek to me.
Hey Krist! Thank you for your kind words, Stick around as I'm doing my best to be comprehensive in approaches to learning the fretboard. Alas, shooting and editing videos takes time and that's pretty scant these days
When I was writing down my system on how to memorize the notes on the fretboard, which is in fact a method invented by my husband, guitar teacher for 30 years and more, I couldn't imagine that so many musicians were looking for that sort of answer. I'm very happy to see that the subject is rather serious and I'm proud to contribute with the A.G.T.S. method, an infaillible way to read the fretboard top to bottom and the other way round...Teaching and learning guitar will never be the same anymore... my book is on sale on amazone, ebook and printed.. Have a look ! The notes on the guitar fretboard, Yves ARGANT.... thanks to this community united in the same target... help musicians discover always more of what their guitar has to offer... let's play music and get happily ahead
I wish i woukd have watched this video 25 years ago.
Haha. Thank you for commenting Aaron. You know it now though :)
Aaron Richards
Tell me about it. I have been at a stalemate for so many years, I lilo st count.....lol.😂
Probably the most useful lesson in the world!
No joke. Wow
Just about to write something similar
A million thanks. I got over a HUGE block because of your system! Cheers!
That's an excellent method. Thank you for taking the time to explain and post it.
Absolutely and without doubt the best video on how to learn the fretboard, I was struggling and then after watching your video BOOM! Got it, this is so invaluable, I can’t thank you enough! Cheers
Great to hear Derek! Thanks for watching. We've gotta keep rock'n'roll alive!
Ricky Comiskey absolutely my friend! Keep on rockin’
Trust this: you're a going to live long🙌 you have simplified this puzzle like a 2+2 math. Awesome 👏👏👏
I watched this video and my jaw is still dropping. I can't believe that's how easy it gets. Not seen a video this year as informative as this one
Thanks for taking pain to explain in detail, Ricky! This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you again!!
I like any approach that helps identifies relationships between notes on different strings. Like the difference of a fourth between adjacent notes on strings 3, 4, 5 & 6. I also think of the relationship between the notes on the same fret for strings 1 and 3 as that of a minor third. Very useful for chords and fills. In addition to the open strings, everyone should know all the notes on the 6th string for power chords or barre chords. And the 1st is obviously identical to the 6th and everything repeats at the 12 fret. So out of 72 notes, there's probably only around 40 that people struggle with. Another approach is to keep a tuner on your headstock and play a game to find every C on the fretboard, then every F# and so on. After a while you can see the patterns.
Thanks for watching! Spooky you mentioned the 6th string (E string). I just did a live tutorial on that very topic. ua-cam.com/video/E1J-iWn_5Lo/v-deo.html
@David Wang It's a cheat...but don't tell anyone shhh!
BRILLIANT!!!! I wish I'd seen this 45 years ago when I started playing!!! Huge thanks!! Genius!
Glad you found the video useful. Thanks for commenting Marko!
This is the best fretboard video I have ever watched. Started slow but I glad I stuck with it. Tremendous lesson! Thanks!
Thank you so much .I've been at this for many years .have never known what notes I've been playing you made it simple great lesson .
That was brilliant.
+WysteriaGuitar Thank you my friend. More cool videos coming soon!
Thank you, this is the easiest, most practical method that I have ever seen!
Hiya Philip! Thank you sir! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
I have watched so many videos trying to learn this and you sir have put it in a way that has finally stuck into my head and I am so excited and thankful for what you have shared. I have so much more praise for you but I will leave it at that. Thank you so much!
Music is my life, and I feel you just gaved me oxygen with this Charlie story 🙏 THANK YOU FROM FRANCE !
Without doubt the best vid I've seen. I've tried all sorts and still struggled. As soon as i watched this it Was like a eureaka moment. Thank You.
This is very usefull, i've never realized about the 4ths. I speak spanish so I made up a sentence in spanish and works like a charm, thanks for your help
Que es?
INCREDIBLE. Best guitar video for fretboard memorization ever.
Brilliant, 10 years of trying to learn the fret board ,now seams so clear
Brilliant. So with the mnemonic BEADGCF there are 2 rules. If you jump from string 3 to 2 add 1 fret. If you cross from an F to a B add one fret.
Spot on Gazza! It’s super easy when you think of it that way. Be careful when you cross the G to B strings at the 10th fret as both rules happen at the same time and you add 2 frets to maintain the BEADGCF sequence.
Thanks for commenting and watching!
I discovered that. Got me first time but then I thought about the rules and they work !! Thanks for this tip. Been using it a lot recently !!
and add another fret for the F on the 10th fret on G string/3rd string so you'll have B on the 12th fret of B string. Cross from F to B = 1 fret, 3rd string to 2nd string = 1 fret.
Ricky, this is fantastic. I've never seen this concept explained so simply and so well. You're a great teacher, and you've got one more subscriber now. Thank you!
Hey Jamie. I really hope to see you in the chat when I broadcast live. More videos coming! (I'm just uploading one on strumming!). Thank you for commenting buddy and for subscribing. It really means a lot :)
This is the only useful video among the many videos that I have watched regarding learning all the notes on the fretboard. I learned a new thing today. Thanks a lot! Best wishes! ❤️
This was very helpful. Great job!! Thanks

Sometimes the guitar is referred to as an "axe"...
You're a freakin' genius dude, thank you SO much for this ! God bless you.
Haha Cheers Allen. Glad it helped. Thanks for dropping by and watching!
yep yer right - he's a frickin' genius. this will improve my life, as guitar is an HUGE PART of my "life"
Fuckin genius you are sir! You should win a nobel peace price for this. Thank you!!
WOW. Ive been playing for 19 years and I just learned the fretboard completely in 15 minutes. Wish I saw this 19 years ago. Thanks!
Awesome! You just took me to another level. Thank you for this.
Oh jeez Rick! That made sense in ways that I didn’t know were possible!
Hey Ryan! Thanks for watching buddy :) So pleased that mades sense :)
Ta da!!! Light went on right at the end when you showed the guitar. Would like PDF of your fretboard layout please. Thank you very much!
Thanks very muchly Jim. I've amended the video description to include a PDF of the fretboard as requested my friend. Love your comment too!
Im just leaning guitar at 60years young and this was so much easier to understand. Thanks mate.
Amazing. After very long time thinking there must be a faster way to memorise the fretboard notes. In 14 mins video, with little practice I have learned what I could not learn in over 3 years. A very thank you Ricky.

Thank you for your video!! The best method to learning the fret board ever! I have tried to memorize notes on the fret board for years and this just makes all those other methods obsolete. Thank you so much for helping me unlock the notes on the other strings other then the E string. I am now having no problems with where the notes are without having to count down from the open strings to find them. Awesome job man !
Sir, you just gained another subscriber! This change my life I was struggling so much and now I see the notes on the fretboard so easily! Thank you fretbro!
Smart way of explaining.....I got slot of clarity of the grey and I've been playing a little while without understanding what's going on

Ricky: This has been extremely helpful. I have played on and off (mostly off) for 20+ years and decided to get back into playing and become serious about learning everything I can. To echo most of the comments, I wish I had seen this 20 years ago. Thanks for sharing this. I am subscribing to your channel to see what else I can learn. Cheers!
