Hands down you are undeniably the best guitarist on UA-cam in my opinion, you just make everything look so effortless and smooth, every time I watch one of your videos it feels like a privilege.
This is a doorway to mastery! Combining this with vertical scale concepts pretty much solves the guitar neck and allows the mind to focus on creativity and articulation rather than on navigation.
@@rvmeth7070 What I meant was the playing of scales in position (the way scles are usually thought) moving up and down across strings 6-1. Sorry for the confusion.
Lol I Iove this so much. I've been playing for 19 years, I can play with anyone, to any song, and my mind exploded when you said this is just the AMaj shape at the end. Beautiful little lesson, great picking technique, and fantastic form on the fret hand.
Great! I was going to ask you jut about what you mentioned in the end, if you could show us the other arpeggios to see how you think them and how do you apply them to your fingers. This has been one of the best lessons I've learnt in a while as this is something I've struggling with for years.
I saw this last week, and just came back to say this actually did unlock my playing ability much more than I thought! Give it a try folks, and try to adapt it to your favorite scales if the major is not your thing
It's the first winter I've seen since being in the UK (going on for 4 years this year). It's hilarious how much of a cataclysm -6*C weather is in the London area. I literally had to work all of this week since not a single train I would ride to work ran. I went home in the winter last year, it was -20*C at the time and the communication was just fine! ;)
I wish i was skilled enough to practice your lessons... While i watch them i keep reminding myself that one day... One day... I'll come back to learn them
Andres Joi just get them and practice them painfully slow and use a metronome to build up speed over time. Eventually you’ll get it and will be up to speed. I think you’d surprise yourself. Plus no one ever learned something new by not having tried over and over. Just start.
You'll get there dude! Don't even worry about it, like the first guy said. Just learn learn it SLOWWWWW. Pick 8 notes at a time, and then start building from there. Get the first 8 down and then stack the next 8 on top, then go a tony bit faster.....and so on.....and so on. You will end up surprising yourself, in fact, I'll bet within 1 week you'll be better than you even thought you could be! Give it your all and really do it! Good luck man!
Very cool! I made the mistake of learning and practicing arpeggios exclusively in a 2 octave vertical pattern. It's made it tough not to get lost when following chord changes. I think this will help a lot
How are there dislikes on a video like this? Really easy to digest teaching style and even though I’ve been playing a while I get so many light bulb moments when watching your videos. You’re a legend!
everytime you share these methods i find it relative easier to learn my way on the fretboard.. I'm still starting but this one is a must have knowledge thank you rick for dropping by middle earth just to teach us mere mortals your godly ways..
I've been going through these 2 note per string exercises with the major, minor, dominant, and diminished arpeggios from your lessons Rick. It's helped me a lot. Great stuff Rick. Cheers mate. I bought your lesson packs over a year ago and I'm still just scratching the surface. Just a lot of stuff to digest.
I seriously have to study for my test tomorrow but I wanted to watch Rick's lessons instead hehe New subscriber! I learned a lot from your videos dude! Hope you doing well rn
Really cool rick. I think you could use this + the vertical position version and travel through them the way Guthrie govan does diatonic/chromatic scales. Really cool way to traverse the fretboard.
So what about chord tone scales? Are they related to what you are talking about? Can what you are talking about be helpful in learning how to play jazz standards like Autumn Leaves, etc? Or are we talking about 2 different genres, approaches?
A good way to approach standards is by playing the arpeggios of the chords in 8th notes, connecting the next chord tone (the ones that are the closest to each other) with chromatic notes. There are some good lessons on this in jens larsen's channel.
Thanks a bunch, Rick! Always enriching with your lessons... @4:19, isn't the E at Es12f (E string, 12th fret) a perfect 5th to the root in the chord (instead of a 4th)?
Das mit den Arpeggien hört sich sehr vernünftig an. Entdeckte diese Shapes letztes Jahr, aber verwendete nur je eine über alle Saiten und probierte es nicht über 2 Saiten nach oben. Vielleicht kann man diese Technik auch im Jazz Bereich verwenden, z.B. triolisch im up Tempo. Auf jeden Fall ist das Video besser als so mancher Workshop.
What i found useful was to just take the first shape and play it all over the fretboard, and just explore every possible combination of it. My brain can only handle one shape at a time. Then when im comfortable i will try the inversions.
Great presentation and techniques as always, Sorry to hear about your pipework !! ;~) Our boiler decided to break down and we only have 2 little plug in electric heaters... ...it's horrible playing with slightly chilly hands. And the earliest the part needed to fix-it is Tuesday! Oh well , it could be worse Cheers from Hampshire

Ain't nothing like a bit of horizontal action to warm you up on a cold day :-)
lmao
Hahaha yeah buddy!
Horizontal dancing, nothing better!
Was that a little naughty eh? ;)
Joke of the day at 1:42 rick tries to improve his fretboard knowledge.
Cool lesson as always
he is right one never stops learning

What is the vertical scale

Nothing like a Rick video on a thursday afternoon. Thanks, Rick.

I love how your not afraid to share your knowledge. Very helpful!
it's *W R I C K H A I R*

That is an aha moment for me. Rick, my good man, you are a legend.

HOPE YOU'RE DOING EXTEEEEEEEEEEEMELY WELL RICK!

This video absolutely blew my mind into the next level of my fretboard knowledge. THANK YOU!
finally I can touch my guitar on this episode, thanks rick

You will never learn thinking this way. Sorry, but this is the true.
You'll get there dude!
Don't even worry about it, like the first guy said.
Just learn learn it SLOWWWWW.
Pick 8 notes at a time, and then start building from there. Get the first 8 down and then stack the next 8 on top, then go a tony bit faster.....and so on.....and so on.

Give it your all and really do it!
Good luck man!
Andres Joi is it today?
Just curious but, seeing that your post was from four years ago, I wonder if you still feel the same way?
teaches while moving the hand. very clean and makes execution look easy. very inspiring.
Very cool! I made the mistake of learning and practicing arpeggios exclusively in a 2 octave vertical pattern. It's made it tough not to get lost when following chord changes. I think this will help a lot

I wish there was a love button! Great stuff, thanks man.
This lesson is a goldmine
Excellent!!!
Glad I found your channel.
Just ran across it, a few days ago.
Awesome
Nice to see you back on top form Rick
Wow! This opened a nice new door for me. I think I'll try to go through chord progressions in this manner. Could be cool.
Thanks for the lesson.
Taking things that I already know and improvising the way you do really opens my mind up. Thank you!!! I see the pearl now I’m going for it. 😊

Thank you Rick. Much appreciated.
You are a good teacher, mate.
Love playing arppegios this way
Thank you so much for these videos. I’m getting out of a natural minor rut and this really helps me out.
You're so good you make me feel like giving up How much practice do you put in in a day?
Plumbing tips + arpeggios ;-)
seriously... i came here for the arpeggios dude stop talking about the weather and your plumbing issues.
This is really great material Rick
This is awesome . Can you show us some examples of that last idea you talked about? I mean doing groups of arpeggios on each set of 2 strings.
I seriously have to study for my test tomorrow but I wanted to watch Rick's lessons instead hehe
New subscriber! I learned a lot from your videos dude! Hope you doing well rn
That was awesome! I can see!! That is a great way to see the links. Thanks Rick!!
Cheers from Los Angeles sorry you're freezing fantastic lesson fantastic playing
Rick shoulf form a band like Plini and the Intervals and go on a tour , he deserves more recognition
other then the awesome guitar playing , i also like how he talks about every day life lol
You're channel is awesome Rick thank you so much for sharing you're knowledge. It's really helped me become a better lead player.
Really cool rick. I think you could use this + the vertical position version and travel through them the way Guthrie govan does diatonic/chromatic scales. Really cool way to traverse the fretboard.
thank you rick, you're the greatest
Good lesson, but could you please tune your guitar, or explain if you are deliberately flat, or maybe tuned to 432 Hz? thank you!

German Lungwitz Thanks. I will check it out.
Updating 1step my lesson.. thanks bro👍
Hugs from Brazil!
Rick please make a lesson about creating riffs !! Love ya.
Awesome thanks rick
thanks, Rick
Your incredible!
If only I'd had someone like you to work with me 40 to 45 years ago... :( Good Stuff!!
Cool concept dude, I have only been using the first shape
Thanks a bunch, Rick! Always enriching with your lessons...
@4:19, isn't the E at Es12f (E string, 12th fret) a perfect 5th to the root in the chord (instead of a 4th)?
Great lesson! Thanks again
Please more exercises like this...for me more helpful than shred

Great lesson very usefull! love these stuff
Ola sou do brasil e admiro muito o seu trabalho e estilo de tocar... poderia mostrar os teus equipamentos de efeitos?. Obrigado Sucesso
Really enjoy your lessons, but I really like it when you do shredding solos. Like when you did the Andy James guitar review.
What a fucking legend.
Good playing guitar RICK GRAHAM 😍😍😍😍
Here in sweden it's 20 - Celsius and I'm burning up

Great conceptual lesson. Thanks from Canader. ;-)
What does blast some shred in frozen water pipes mean?
Great tutorial!!!
How do you achieve so amazing sustain?
Good job man
Hi! Please ,give your patch to Axe Change. Sorry, my English is poor. I use Fractal axe fx 2 Mark 2.Thank you!!
Please do a video on Shawn Lanes style

@ÁUß Code
Lol Nice.
Yeah this guy is a douchebag
I live in Tropical Australia,I’m cold at 20 degrees Celsius.
Don’t know how those fingers aren’t frozen ha.
Hi Rick couldn’t her your voice over your guitar! Distortion sounds great but so loud.
All I could think was Stranger Things the whole time lol
CodyMBB yea it's pretty much a c major7 arpeggio
That's a good thing!
Thank you good lesson:)
What Pickups do you use . Thanks
Where are good places to live in the UK?
Great help brother :)
This is classical guitar. The hand is square on the fretboard. Not thumb over with hand slanted.
