A few months ago you taught me the notes on the fretboard. Then you taught me to meander, then you taught me the Pentatonic shapes 1 through 5, and then you taught me about how you can play in nearly any key as long as you accentuate the root notes to stay melodic. And now because of you I can look at my fretboard and go okay he wants me to play C on the E string, I memorized that for Steve months ago, then D, then down a string to E, F or F# G, and then slide to A. And i can see that on the neck as you tell me to do it. I still can't do hammer on pull off riffs at blinding speed like you but i've unlocked the whole fretboard because of your teachings and my will to practice.
Yes once you figure out the fret board alphabet it's such an amazing feeling i had to comment to say keep at it man if you can keep up with steve on a scale like that you have potential to exceed the sky us the limit.

The CAGED way of learning arpeggios really puts me off. I get the concept, but memorizing the arpeggios everywhere seems to be taking things too far-at least for a beginner or intermediate player. Finding the arpeggios within the major scale is much more fun, and probably musically relevant, way to learn them.
Thank you, Steve. I can honestly say all my break-through moments are a direct result of your excellent lessons and teaching style. This amazing video is one of many and I am very grateful to you. Kman

This video was just what I needed to move my playing and my understanding forward. I’ve tried to learn scales, modes etc. over the last few years but this has made so much sense of something that I just couldn’t tie together until now. I’m now starting to really see the fretboard, my playing sounds better already. Many thanks Steve.

Stevie gotta say bro... I love you my friend.. You are the don teacher of you tube period....,...thanks for being my teacher...your the best.... .Tony.. England... Nottingham
I follow a couple guitar sites, one for gear, one for inspiration, and now yours for theory and technique. Thanks for all the free content. You definitely have a way of taking things that most people fear to be too complex and explaining it so as to be understandable.
I was half asleep watching your lessons. My mind swims alot when we talk notes so quickly. When you started showing how to connect the triads, my ears grabbed onto something familiar, and I jumped awake. After self teaching for 25+years, this lesson really helped me make some sense out of several arpeggios. You have opened a long road for me with this lesson. Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot, Steve. When you mentioned about "chord chasing" and how our solo/scale patterns might not follow a larger order of shapes and positions, it cleared a whole lot up for me. My very best to you 🤟

This is just what I needed to learn right now. I’m just drilling into the complex three chord triads and this is helping unlock my fretboard. Well done Steve.
Thanks Steve, great concept of keeping the arrpegio compact and simple. What can also be very halpful (at least for me) is to see you improvising with this concept over a jam track with 3-4 chords, without sounding too mechanical
What a amazing lesson I have ever seen to be learn solo and everything done honestly coz most of the people struggling for I’m great fan of you may god bless you live long lots of love from Middle East and 🇮🇳

Wow thanks for this Steve... hugely helpful. My brain always defaults to 1/4, 1/3, 1/3, 1/3, 1/4, 1/4 pentatonic shape and it hasn't been easy to break free from that rut. Thanks!
I don’t really understand why the Pentatonic scale is so popular or why it was created except for ease of use. I find the major scale by far more melodic. The sound of the half steps is awesome, as hopefully this video has proven. Maybe I shouldn’t hate on the pentatonic but I learned it when I was 16, and never once was inspired to go anywhere with it. Every guitar melody that I found really intrigued me always seemed to be using the Major scale. Maybe it’s because I love pop punk so much, which is very Major (I,IV,V) and rarely Minor or blues-like.

This was very helpful for me to expand from basic chords into lead guitar solos. I've been locked in a box of basic chords and this video really helped explain how to get out of it thank you very much. Subscribed.
This really pushed my understanding of the scales and theory to the limit, which is right where I like to be. Now if I could just be able to actually practice what I know and make it sound good then that would be even better.
I think it’s important to realize that the “transition “ note we use to slide into the next arpeggio is in the key / mode we’re playing in… Cool lesson.. Thanks..!

Super cool lesson. Lots of useful suggestions... broken down really clearly. Loved the melodic example of the higher octave string pair.. as some other commenter says it'd be great for a performance from you over a backing track showcasing the techniques you have demonstrated.
Nice work Steve. I use more bends and vibratoes in my work so sliding will be my natural choice in low tempos. While in high tempo >120, sliding will be avoided. Does this seem logical?

‘It’s a kind of magic’. Thanks a lot from Italy. Incredibile lesson from who have problem to breack the line between play a box and play a melody.
Wow thanks for this Steve... hugely helpful. My brain always defaults to 1/4, 1/3, 1/3, 1/3, 1/4, 1/4 pentatonic shape and it hasn't been easy to break free from that rut. Thanks!
I don’t really understand why the Pentatonic scale is so popular or why it was created except for ease of use. I find the major scale by far more melodic. The sound of the half steps is awesome, as hopefully this video has proven.
Maybe I shouldn’t hate on the pentatonic but I learned it when I was 16, and never once was inspired to go anywhere with it. Every guitar melody that I found really intrigued me always seemed to be using the Major scale. Maybe it’s because I love pop punk so much, which is very Major (I,IV,V) and rarely Minor or blues-like.
Love guys who teach concepts as well as licks. Super useful and many thanks.
Steve as usual. A professional and a good guitar teacher.
What a talent.
Thanks for the kind words, John! :-)

A killer guitar lesson, thanks Steve Stine.
Lightbulb moment 💡
This was very helpful for me to expand from basic chords into lead guitar solos. I've been locked in a box of basic chords and this video really helped explain how to get out of it thank you very much. Subscribed.
This really pushed my understanding of the scales and theory to the limit, which is right where I like to be. Now if I could just be able to actually practice what I know and make it sound good then that would be even better.
Thank you so much, my friend. A light just turned on inside my head when you explained this concept.
what a great teacher you make things hard to learn attainable and as they should be fun thanks very much for your awsome skill
I love this guys teaching method
I think it’s important to realize that the “transition “ note we use to slide into the next arpeggio is in the key / mode we’re playing in… Cool lesson.. Thanks..!
Thanks for watching, Joseph! :-)

such a great less0n.. really appreciated @Steve
Great Teacher and Great Guitarist - Thanks Steve! :)
Great suggestions
Thanx Steve
Thankyou Steve god bless.
Thank you.
My pleasure! Any questions please feel free to ask.
Xcellent! As GTR teacher this simplistic concept helps me with students who think soloing require little thinking..Not
great lesson, thanks
Great Video ty for giving me more ideas for improvisation
Excellent lesson, thanks.
Awesome lesson as always, Your guitar sounds amazing
Mind blown at 5:25
Such a great lesson! Thank you Steve!
Very nice explanation.
Super cool lesson. Lots of useful suggestions... broken down really clearly. Loved the melodic example of the higher octave string pair.. as some other commenter says it'd be great for a performance from you over a backing track showcasing the techniques you have demonstrated.
Nice work Steve.
I use more bends and vibratoes in my work so sliding will be my natural choice in low tempos. While in high tempo >120, sliding will be avoided. Does this seem logical?
I am.learning here steve, thx men
Thanks Steve. Great info and excellent teaching skills.
Great to see a recent post on this Steve thanks, man...THIS is exactly where I am at in my pursuit of melodic nirvana...lol
Awesome Steve .... You are brilliant... The enjoyment I am now experiencing is down to you. Many Thanks. :) :)
Thank you for this✌
Thanks Steve, U help me a lot with this
