    Your method for beginners is excellent in the respect that you explain at at a reasonably slow pace. Your method of moving your fingers out of the way so one can see which finger you are using on which fret and string is also extremely helpful. As good as some instructors are on UA-cam, they frequently move very fast and you can’t always tell which finger is is pressing which fret. Also, your tabs and diagrams are helpful. Thanks.

I've learned the penatonic scales a 3/7 of the modes and I've come across two other scale diagrams and now these. Looks like there are many scales that can be done, Which are the best ones to learn, and how is this helping other than getting my fingers working across the fret board? Thanks
