    Another thing that helped me was singing the names of the notes as I play them. It made me memorise where all the notes are, so I don't have to rely exclusively on shapes.

    The down 1 string plus 7 to find the same note rule is so handy for a beginner, I’d love to know more quick easy little things like that because they’re easy to remember and give me starting points for understanding the larger concepts.

    This is the kind of material that anyone trying to figure out where to start guitar, needs!! .
    I say this in reference to material that comes from a legit source such as yourself Sean. It helps us feel like we're actually learning something properly because of YOU.
    Thank you Sean, for these videos!!

    This is a diamond amongst the chaff of scales' videos! Would love to see the one about the B string.

    The slide created by starting the minor third on the next string rather than reaching on the same makes for a much more melodic sound. Never thought of it that way. The demonstration really made me cognizant of that.

    Great lesson. You make it understandable, in a musical way, and slow enough to see what ur playing and time to absorb the info. love it. Same thing on all of the rest of the major's please.

    Setting up your own guitar is soooo cathartic! A small investment in basic tools and some good instructional vids made a HUGE difference in my long neglected acoustic! Now I feel like Im a part of my axe and vice versa. Do it!

    Ok , i just started looking into the big repeating patterns and how that relates to the scales. With that being said now im looking at the setup scale formations ,trying to figure how to implement it into my playing. Now im looking for the repeating patterns in the different modes lol. My guitar journey has been the last maybe four years, but always had a guitar in my possession, without knowing a damn thing about it. I am getting better in time. Thanks for all you do Sean, Merry Christmas

    I suck with the B and high E strings. So when I “try to” solo. I just play the top 4 strings like a bassist. I play bass as well. That’s where I stand currently in terms of soloing and sounding musical

    • @craziehawk

      I thought I heard you state that in the key of G, if you start on the vi it equates to a mode. Is that correct? If so, could you do a video explaining how modes come about? Perhaps with you tacking on to this video with that topic I might be able to finally get modes as well. Your teaching has helped me a lot. Again, thanks Sean

    I've been breaking the B string wall after realizing that if you keep the string pairs thing going like at 2:50, but you go down 3 more frets on the B and high E strings, the same note pattern is found. 🤯 Looking at the fret board framed in string pairs has made me see the note patterns much clearer and get to the point of knowing locations of all the notes.
