Stop Using Scale Diagrams & Build A Strong Fretboard Understanding (Part 4) - Scale Chunks (Ep. 11)
FREE Tabs: www.becomegreatatguitar.com/how-to-build-a-strong-fretboard-understanding-4-5-scale-chunks/
If you’ve been following the previous parts of my How to Build a Strong Fretboard Understanding series, you’ve already built a solid foundation. You no longer need to rely on diagrams to navigate the fretboard and find the right notes!
In Part 4, we’ll take this a step further. I’ll teach you an easy and practical way to conceptualize scales-without relying on diagrams.
That’s a relatively uncommon concept, and you’ve probably never heard of it before because it’s not commonly taught in the guitar world. But it’s common sense for real musicians and extremely valuable for guitarists.
By the end of this lesson, you’ll be able to play longer, more fluid scale runs across the entire fretboard-no scale diagrams needed! Even better, this concept can be applied to any scale you want to learn in the future, giving you a versatile tool to really master scales on guitar.
It is highly recommended that you complete Parts 1 to 3 and practice the exercises there. Otherwise, you may find it challenging to grasp this concept. Here are the previous parts in case you need to catch up:

I play trumpet and saxophone and i have had a few guitar lessons and i think you are right it is hard. But not as hard as trying to find a non Chinese manufactured guitar.
Agree 100% I always found this frustrating. Cheers!
Brilliant information, you explain difficult problems so well, so clearly. I'm already making musical progress based on your advise. thank you so much.
Liked.. Now, the tapping harmonics. 😅
Thank you. Great video again!
People need to understand a Major Scale and then the Key.
I am sure you will grow on TH-cam Gregor. Your free video lessons and free downloads are of outstanding quality. Thank you very very much!
Thank you for the kind words, Han!
Votre vision pédagogique est toujours aussi intéressante et pertinente. Il faut être conscient qu'elle demande du travail! Les progrès ne viennent pas seuls mais cette démarche est motivante et riche d'enseignements. Quand je pense que certains sur TH-cam prétendre nous apprendre le manche en 5 minutes ... sans commentaires! Merci pour vos contenus.
Thanks! I have to admit, I often chuckle at those bold promises in TH-cam titles too. Of course it takes enormous time and effort to master anything... I’m glad to hear you find you find value in my approach. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

Thank you
Best to learn your intervals and formulas to scales!
Brilliant lesson, thanks
Really helpful, thanks.
Thank you. Very practical approach. Extremely helpful. Looking forward to the next video on triads.
Thanks❤

While the majority of YT guitar teachers are teaching checkers, Gregor is teaching chess in an understandable manner. Awesome lesson, thank you 🙏
Thanks man! Glad you like it!

Not really. Its just piano but non linear. If you learn piano or music theory (preferably both) its really not that hard.
Do you have a video about the diminished term or overall about building chords?
Unfortunately not.
Dziękuję bardzo za wspaniałe wytłumaczenie teorii gitary. Mam nadzieję że pan jest Polakiem. Pana angielski jest również wspaniały.
Dziękuję bardzo. Rzeczywiście, jestem Polakiem, który mieszka w Niemczech.
@becomegreatatguitar poznałem po panu akcencie że może być pan Polakiem. W Niemczech pan mieszka, nie źle. Ja też mieszkam za granicą. Mieszkam w Kanadzie przez ostatnie 33 lat. Ale byłem urodziny w Wrocławiu. Bardzo ciekawie przedstawia pan tą lekturę na gitarze. Ja będę studiował ostro. Ja gram na gitarze może z 20 lat ale nigdy dalej nie doszedłem z moim graniem niż znając naj bardziej popularnych uchwytów i paru piosenek. Ja bym bardzo chciał się nauczyć teorii i nawigacji na szyi gitary. Miłego dnia.
@@purplemonkeydishwasher9360 My Polacy jakoś zawsze potrafimy się rozpoznać :). Cieszę się, że moje filmy z lekcjami się Panu podobają. Jestem pewien, że jeśli będzie Pan ćwiczył, wkrótce zrobi Pan postępy na gitarze. Życzę Panu powodzenia!
Interesting
After struggling to move beyond cowboy chords, discovering all fourths tuning was a major breakthrough for me.
This lessons are amazing and the graphics make them even cooler.
Great video. Part 3 is needed
I wouldn't say the piano is a perfect system and make the comparison like you did, I understand you did it for the sake of conveying the ideas in the clearest way possible, but playing different keys in the piano has a lot of difficulties because the keys are not regular, keys with a lot of sharps or flats is difficult because you have to twist your wrist more and adapt the posture, fingerings are a mess... But in guitar you can easily change kays of the same song and the only limitation is the overall register of the instrument, a lot of chord shapes can be easily moved while keeping the same shape, transposing melodies isn't very hard either, but doing that in a piano is more challenging... But this ease of use I think is also one potential drawback for guitarist to internalize music beyond a motor level. The content is good, but I find a bit misleading tbh... But maybe by the time people get there, they already know this.
Great! I've seen so many horrible explanations that take 20 minutes. You did this in under a minute!
When someone asks me how i played it i always say : "I dont know" . Its just ears and learned muscle memory and some band experiences. Didnt think about it till now.
Would have been better without cutting the camera off so you could see what you’re changing to.
He starts with the tonic on every mode. The only thing that changes is the note that gets changed. The notation above explains the note that is altered. In order to understand this in a practical sense a thorough understanding of the major-Ionian and minor-Aeolian would help to understand what he is doing in this short! It really takes a lot of time and studying to be able to run through these things naturally in a musical sense! Good luck
Hey man! thanks for the video. I have a quick question... What would this chord be? e|---x--- B|---7--- G|---7--- D|---5--- A|---7--- E|---x--- ChatGPT keeps saying it is a Dmaj7 as well, but I don't see it included in this video. I am writing a song that goes from that chord, into: e|---0--- B|---7--- G|---6--- D|---7--- A|---5--- E|---5--- And I'm trying to find variations for that. Am I just playing the same chord? cause it sounds different when I change obviously and am not able to tell yet.
Hey, the first chord (E G D F#) can be interpreted as Em9. E is the root, G is the minor 3rd, D is the 7th, and F# is the 9th. The second chord could be interpreted as Dmaj9/A (A = 5th, D = root, A = 5th, C# = major 7th, F# = major 3rd, E = major 9th). However, if the Em9 precedes this chord, I would name it as an A6 with the 11th (A is the root, D is the 11th, A is the root, C# is the major 3rd, F# is the 6th, E is the 5th). This way, you play a i-IV connection, which is very likely-but we need more context to be sure about that.... .Hope this helps. Good luck with your song writing! (Watch out! ChatGPT is extremely unreliable when it comes to music theory or guitar playing questions...)
Yep, I teach my students with Tabs and notation combined, notations are designed for piano. Thx
Thank you for making me realize I picked up an intrument for the clinically insane. You made me give up on it and saved me years of frustration 😊
Thank you !
Genius😃
Finally someone who actually made it make sense with a straight forward learning path and broken down piece by piece plus translated to piano who’s is simpler to learn Ty Ty Ty
Yep ! At 14: 35 " but on the guitar its a total mess " ive been noodling on guitar for 60 yeras and its STILL a total mess in my head !
Good video. Great content .
Thanks!
Good video, clear and concise content.
Wonderful ! Thank you for sharing !
Thanks! My pleasure!
🙇♂️💓🍀🎶 🤘😃
At 2 minutes in he's still giving us the ad for the thing and has not showed anything. Why such a long intro? Add 2 minutes and a half the commercial comes on, naturally it hangs, and he still hasn't said anything worth hearing. I might get back to it later
Guitar is certainly challenging to learn because of its layout and the physical complexity of playing it. But I think that the first steps to learn basic chord shapes for playing rythm is very rewarding as you can quickly play popular songs... Then there is the 'shape hell'... It took me years of stagnation to go past this and start discovering music theory from near zero. Discovering how intervals define scale / modes construction and how chords are built was a key missing information that I did not get during my self taught journey (thanks to David Walliman videos for that training material). Then I went to identify how to play the chord tones in solos and how to highlight modal characteristics. And also playing based on arpeggios as skeleton for melodic playing. This allowed me to compose / improvise on my own with a looper ... Was a long journey that could have been much shorter if I took a few classes that trained me on intervals, scales and chord construction in guitar at a young age instead of learning shapes of chords and scale blindly.
how do keys work ?
I just started teaching myself how to play the guitar. I just started with trying to play scales, triads, and arpeggios because that’s how you learn how to play the piano. I was just trying to find the notes by ear. I found this extraordinarily challenging. Glad to know that it isn’t just me. Also good to know that there’s value in this approach.
Tablature can be extremely helpful to help learn.
Too "young" to understand this. Thanks for the great work you do. I will"grow" and understand the pretty valuable things you are sharing here. I subscribed. Let me be on the one string pattern, first. You gave us a great exercise.
Nice video Dmitry!
Thanks. I did not see the full circle version in the video. Now it's in one reference. very useful!
Understand from the circle that the key of F has one flat. Where on the circle did you discern the flat was B? I figured it out by playing the major scale pattern but I don't see it on the circle
Hello William, you can easily look this up in the free resources for this video. There, you’ll find a printable PDF of the circle of fifths. I’ve marked the new notes-those that are sharps or flats-on the outside of the circle. For example, in the key of F, the B changes to B-flat, as shown on the outside of the circle. Similarly, for sharps, like in the key of G major, you’ll see F# marked on the outer edge of the circle. Additionally, there’s a worksheet titled "Note Degrees for All 12 Keys," where I list the note names for each key. Hope this helps! If not, let me know.
I know you mentioned the exercise is not to actually play the scales starting on the root. But I'm not sure I track the connection to the circle of fifths. by using the circle of fifths as your reference you're actually starting on the 7th note with half step to the root then following the w-w-h-w-w-w-h pattern right?
That's correct. But rather than conceptualizing this exercise in terms of whole and half steps, I recommend viewing each key as a pool of notes with the natural notes (ABCDEFG) a your reference. Start by practicing moving from C major to a neighboring key like F major, where only one note differs-in this case, B becomes Bb. Next, move from F-major to Bb-major, where E becomes Eb. Then, proceed to Eb major, where A becomes Ab. The same goes for the sharps. This step-by-step approach helps you memorize the note names as well as the circle of fifths.
Whatever it may be guitar is addictive. It keeps opening the uncountable doors-- an exploration of a never-ending discovery. This video has been an amazing production.
Thanks!
