'pinky for major, index for minor'
WTF dude, how is it I NEVER realized this? Pure genius 😲
I feel 100% confident that I can say, this is the best guitar teacher out there period.
There is something very engaging about how you do this stuff. The angle you take is much more holistic and contextual. One of my biggest criticisms of guitar Teachers is they teach without context.
Thanks Colin! I appreciate the words. Thanks for following along with my vids 😀

@@zombieguitar Send me a reply so I can easily find this video
I first learned how to play the guitar when I was still in elementary school. I picked it up again in college. That was 40+ years ago. Your YT videos help me to refresh my memory or teach me some things that I never learned. In any case, your methodology works. When CV-19 is over, I will take some lessons again. Thnx.
Brian, Your stuff is hands down the best Guitar lesson info I've ever found. I'm a bit embarrassed to say but I've been playing for 40 years (I'm basically self taught ) and still never fully understood scales, circle of 5ths etc. (forget any Modes!!) and decided to start teaching myself again. After (2) days of reviewing your videos, I've improved my improv soloing and creating simple chord progressions 100%!!! I'm somewhere in-between a Type 2 and Type 3 level guitar player. This sounds like a cheesy (fake testimonial) but I honestly got excited again about the guitar. So impressed, that I looked for a way to donate to your UA-cam channel and realized you have a site and quickly signed up for a full membership. I look forward to diving in! - Rich
Thanks Rich! I really appreciate you joining the site! Enjoy, and let me know if you have any questions 😀
Exactly this.
Best teacher I've seen......finally someone that makes sense....
I subbed when you had about a little over 20k and thought this channel and your website was incredibly underrated. Now here we are and I still think the same thing.
That pentatonic on-off really opened up a new perspective for me, I can already see how much time I’ll save by practicing that.
Thanks for the words Chris! I've made a few other vids about that same approach too...that's exactly what my "Improvise Like a Pro in 8 Weeks" video is about!
Thisone is definetely a keeper to rewatch over and over ! Thanks Brian
Man I've been playing guitar for like 10 years and in that time all I did was learn songs via guitar tabs. Sure, I got decent enough at playing but that entire time I had no idea what I was doing. This past year I've barely played at all because it got to a point where I had learned most of the songs I ever wanted to and the fun kind of faded.
Recently my dad suggested a Savatage song to learn, but there weren't any tabs for it so I decide to look into the theory of learning songs by ear. I stumbled upon your video, and something about the way you teach, made me really interested in theory and I have learned more in just these past few days than I think I ever have in my time playing. In just 3 days I learned about key signatures and how to find them, you made complete sense of the caged system and it clicked for me, I've learned all the pentatonic positions and can improvise in any key, I can write chord progressions that sound good, I know how to build chords and how to change them into different variations, I understand the circle of fifths, and I've made my own backing tracks to jam to.
All basic stuff to seasoned veterans, but it's a great start for me considering I couldn't do literally any of that a week ago (and I'm having the time of my life). Definitely the best guitar teacher I've ever learned from.
Thank you Brian
That's awesome!! I'm really glad to hear that. I appreciate you checking out my vids 😀
Pure genius. Best guitar teacher out there
This is truly "The One Scale Lesson to Rule Them All"! I understand Bilbo Baggins hands are too small to apply any of this, but he still agrees with my summation.
Brian, you teaching method is great. Very simple to understand. I taught myself what you're teaching in this video. And I've learned quite a few techniques from your teaching. Keep up the great work. And thank you.
Among the thousands teachers on Yt i found your communication to be the most effective, clear and targeted ever. I admire your teaching skills and i will consider your lessons site next days. Thanks a lot and keep it up Brian! Greetings from Italy!
Thank you! I really appreciate the words 😀
Dude, I love you. You explain challenging concepts in such simple ways. You’re incredible teacher. I’ve been learning a lot from you lately. I really appreciate it.
Thank you Mr. Kelly
Your genuineness is easily detectable and you teach very humbly. Like I can tell you enjoy helping people. Keep it up. I found you via Facebook and your lessons always teach me something I didn't know or demonstrate it from a different point if view, Thanks!
Thanks Josh! I appreciate you stopping by to check out the channel. Glad to hear you're liking the vids 😁
Brian, ive re-watched this video many times. Probably your best in my opinion. The pentatonic on off system is awesome. Never seen a simpler approach to chord tone targeting explained. To boil the video down to its most useful id say spend time finding e string and a string roots of all keys until you know the e and a string like the back of your hand and then understand that the a string root tells you where d, c & a chord shapes are and the e string root gives you e & g.
And of course, thank you
Always great lessons Brian! Thanks
This is really best summarise of patterns so far.. thank you 🙏
Great stuff. Thanks Brian!!
Very cool the way you linked this to your website lessons, and showed where to find more!
What a great lesson! Thanks, maestro.
You explain things so well, thanks.
🎉alway it's a wonderful lesson for me .. thank you.
Brian, thank you very much for these videos. I’ve learned a lot. You’re a fantastic instructor.
Cool presentation. Sorted out a number of muddled concepts in my brain!!
Thank you so much! You have helped me to unite a lot of "random concepts" in music theory. UA-cam is such a shotgun approach to learning I'm thankful to have found your channel; it came along right on time.
Dedication and kindness within a solid musician and teacher !!!!
Thank Brian, awesome lesson!
Thank you, very useful information.
Scale intervals made this soo much easier for me to transition between scales and break out of robotic playing! Legend! Hats off to you!
Thanks Brian!!! Awesome.
Amaznig video man ! for me the best way is a mixture of these but learnt and used in context, very very nice video for information sir :D
I'm definitely a nerd. I want how AND why. Your explanations do that in a very solid way ! Kudos, my friend.
Thanks John! 😁🎸
Another good video Big B. Thanks again 😎👍👌💯🎸🎸
Dude! Thank you so much for doing these!
Thank you for watching them!! 😀
Well done Professor ..... so much important information condensed down into one very informative nutshell.
Especially loved the intervals section ... I'm currently working on the Circle of Fifths triads on the bottom four strings (DGBE), and all is going well.
Ahh ye ol' immersion method. That's a great way to learn 😁
Brian, thank you!
Thanks again, you are amazing
You the best! Thanks!
This was great. Gotta few things to dig into.
Thank you big brother..❤🎶
Last part is gold
@26:30 = GOLD to me. Thank you :D ! You made me take notes LOL !
This is excellent content. I will signing up for the full membership soon! You are the best instructor for analytical minds!
Thanks JD! I appreciate that. If you have any questions, feel free to ask 😃
This methods are how we guitars lovers start learn fretboard. I start with Diatonic scale system..after knowing scales i start seeing( visualize) CAGED chords inside scales , intervals, triads this was my happiest moment when "kliked"..next step is was frazing i love blues.Guthrie Trapp ,Jack Rouche.. Anyway great lessons..learned tons from ur channel..
Very nice. I know bits and pieces of the various systems it was extremely helpful to see all of the various methods in one video. It helps me integrate my knowledge. Thanks.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for checking out the vid 😀
massively underrated channel
Thank you! I appreciate that 😁
thanks zombie your the best
Had my break through moment with the Pentatonic on/off explanation. I always understood your chord tone target notes but struggled hearing and playing the changes. I will use the on/off notes as my baby steps into soloing with the chord changes. You have helped so much, thank you. I think it’s time to order a few more t shirts.
Thanks Ed! The pentantonic on/off is one of my favorites. The entire "Improvise Like a Pro in 8 Weeks" video is about that exact method 😀
Great video. Would like a follow up with advantage/disadvantage of each and maybe which one's work well together etc.
Thks Brian 👍🏻
Great master lesson… THANKSSSSSSS❤
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching 😀
3 notes per string has always been my favorite.
Good job 👏 👍 👌 🙌 😄 😀
Yowsa, lots of stuff to learn!
Just tuned in and a like just for the title❣️
Wow never heard of method 7. Fascinating
Yes you have! I've done many videos about it before 😁. Here's one of them: ua-cam.com/video/ReP6l4-C4xc/v-deo.html
@@zombieguitar thanks Brian!!!
That was really helpful to see these different systems. I was perplexed how guitarists could flow melodies with a 12 bar blues that worked so well outside of tone targeting.
Excellent primer for looking into other systems, thank you!
Hi Brian, may I clarify some points on major pentatonic positions' numbering conventions?
At 4:43, regarding the A major pentatonic position you referred to as "Pentatonic Position #1". Elsewhere I have seen this position referred to as "Pentatonic Position #5" since the root notes of A are in the form of the G-root-notes pattern of CAGED.
(As in G-root-notes pattern of CAGED = root on 6 - 3 - 1 in the shape of G-root-notes triangular pattern of CAGED.)
Likewise, the next ones you referred to as:
"Pentatonic Position #2" were referred to elsewhere as "Pentatonic Position #1", E-root-notes pattern of CAGED = root on 6 - 4 - 1 in the shape of E-root-notes triangular pattern of CAGED.
"Pentatonic Position #3" were referred to elsewhere as "Pentatonic Position #2", D-root-notes pattern of CAGED = root on 4 - 2.
"Pentatonic Position #4" were referred to elsewhere as "Pentatonic Position #3", C-root-notes pattern of CAGED = root on 5 - 2.
"Pentatonic Position #5" were referred to elsewhere as "Pentatonic Position #4", A-root-notes pattern of CAGED = root on 5 - 3.
Hey Paul, keep in mind that the numbering of positions on the fretboard is completely arbitrary. At Zombie Guitar, we number the 5 pentantonic positions the same way for both major key and minor key contexts.
Some prefer to have a different numbering system for major because they like "position 1" to start with the index finger.
Others (such as myself) prefer to keep the numbering systems the same for major and minor, because it stresses the importance of the relative major/minor relationship.
Either way is perfectly fine if it works for you!
@@zombieguitar
Hi Brian, thanks very much for the clarification.
Finally, I think I am getting it!
I kept getting muddled up with the different position/box numbering system for major/minor pentatonic used on various other UA-cam channels.
Your method of keeping it consistent with one numbering system for both major/minor pentatonic makes a lot of sense.
Keeping it short & simple is better, this is great!
Once again, thanks for your reply.
So what exactly is caged system? No one actually explains what it is or how to use it. Also I cant find an intro lesson on chord tone soloing, or playing the right notes, during guitar solos. Can you make a video, with tabs, to explain this stuff from the beginning up?
Hey Mike, I have tons of lessons on chord tone targeting. From the website, here is the CAGED video to check out 😁 www.zombieguitar.com/blog/9-steps-to-fully-understanding-the-caged-system
This amzing simple and comprehessive ..and its Big..opens the pandoras box
Wish I fucking found this guy years ago.... gaaaah!!!!
I have the exact same guitar you’re using, had to do a double take for a second lol
What guitar is it? I love the look
Hoping somebody could clear this up. When learning the pentatonic visualization with A major for example what is the advantage of locating the major with the pinky and the minor with the index vs. locating the A with your index and playing first position from there? Is the advantage just that have the relative minor first position readily available? Thanks to anyone who can clarify.
The advantage is that it gets you thinking in terms of "12 keys" as opposed to "24 keys". The numbering of the positions is completely arbitrary anyway, so you can number them differently for major and minor if you want to...I just find it MUCH easier to keep numbering consistent for both major and minor whenever possible!
@@zombieguitar oh ok I understand now. So rather than thinking of it as 1st position F#m pentatonic and 5th position A Major pentatonic just think of it as one shape since they consist of the same notes. Thanks for the response man that helps a lot 🙏🏻
Brian, after watching many amazing G n R Slash videos, how does he play all the notes so well that seem to fall either in the scale or modified scale? He doesn't read music. Did he just practice, endlessly, root note locations and scale patterns?
Slash solos, specifically from the GnR era are a perfect example of why chord tone targeting is so important!
@@zombieguitar Thanks Brian! All your videos are excellent, but this was super interesting and helpful!! Peace
Great stuff! #9 could be an Arpeggio way.
He actually mentions that in #5 and #6 when he talks about adding 7th, 9th etc to your chord to arpeggiate
Chords, chord tones, arpeggios...these terms can all be used interchangeably 😀
brand of guitar?
I use at least 3 or 4 of these systems simultaneously
17:11 Words of wisdom from a dude with a “Circles of 5th” tattoo. Get the scales tattooed on yourself😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
For me it is not the case about visualizing every thing. Sometimes I look away completely from the fretboard. In my opinion it is more about neurological functions.
👍👍👍💪💪💪👏👏👏
And u didn't mention any of my one way that I use
Not sure what you are talking about?
@@zombieguitar he said he had 8 ways to look at fret board..and none of those 8 ways is the way I look at the fretboard
@@kilroywahzhere2476 how do you visualize the fretboard?
Arent, you missing the main pattern???.. The universal, the only scale pattern that covers all major scale patterns and modes ? It´s another way of visualizing the fretboard. The 9th.
You mean the diatonic scale?
@@zombieguitar No.. I mean " the only big 3 note per string pattern". The king of all patterns.. The only one.. The one that let you build all major keys from any note.. Hello Brian...I am talking of a simple method of learning all diatonic scales and modes. if you use the 3 notes per string pattern that you use in one of your 8 systems, it could be argued that really there is only one pattern( and not 7) for all positions and therefore modes. How can this be?. Well if you think of the pattern from the bass string as three strings of tone, tone, followed by two strings of a semitone, tone.. followed by two strings of tone, semitone, followed by three strings of tone, tone. (You get the picture). you can start anywhere and generate any mode or position of the major scale. Essentially you are thinking of a virtual string set extending the fingerboard below and above the actual neck. To get any scale, just superimpose 6 strings on it. Thinking this way means that there is only one pattern for the fingers, just different starting points. For a deeper understanding of the only pattern, I am talking about please have a look at these 5 videos ua-cam.com/video/CGmj2kuHojQ/v-deo.html
@@zombieguitar Let me know what you think, but only f you have spent the time and have looked at the five videos that explain the system.
Complete jibberish, to me. All these YT vids, are making me feel stupid. I don't understand any of this. I don't think I'm stupid but I'm missing something pertaining to the basics. I'm trying to learn the notes on the fretboard but somehow, don't feel like it would be beneficial here. The circle of fifths, makes absolutely no sense to me... I just don't know what part I'm missing. But good video I guess.
This video may be more for you 😁: ua-cam.com/video/yROP_aLKEVI/v-deo.html
Serge De Novo,
This stuff is tough. If you don’t catch a video a the right timing in your journey, it won’t make sense.
This video is like a, “I get what’s going now - now how should I approach organizing this information…?”
Keep motivated.
When it comes to this conceptual stuff, I have to go over and over the material.
Music is sort of math, but it’s like this wacky math. You’ll get there!
Flag this video for later. You’ll really appreciate Kate it when the time is right. I guarantee it!!!
