The pause after the alien thing in 2:14 is my all time favourite moment of his videos..
Seriously! I was about to write a comment about that.. the first i read.. hahaha good i'm not alone :D
I remember watching the old version of this video few years ago, when I first started learning guitar. Now I am able to solo through jazz standards with different arpeggios and modes. I self-taught myself all the way through by watching Justin's videos. He is a fantastic teacher.
Hey Justin, just saying that you were my first guitar teacher and you were the one that really got me into guitar, so thank you😊
You're welcome Harry :) looks like you're doing great!
That’s awesome
JustinGuitar thanks so much man!!
Holy cow! I feel so dumb saying this out loud, but I learned my scales and such but didn't know what to do with them... Until now! THANK YOU!
Same
how on earth did you keep a straight face during, 'if you happen to know some aliens'. A consumate proffesional right there. justin thank you for re-igniting my guitar passion.
I am *very* good at taking breaks in my playing. Sometimes I dont play for months. Uhh.. bad joke sorry. Good lesson -- thanks a lot for all the great material!
When it all came together at the end I had a huge smile on my face.
"Hey Justin here" :) signature mark. Blessed to have such a mentor.
Justin...thanks so much for making the download available....it's amazing!🤗 As an older learner of 74, to discover I really can jam along to a backing track is sooo good. It really gave me a lift and helped me to understand what can be done just by learning a scale! Thanks to you my guitar journey is progressing along...slowly....but I'm getting so much pleasure out of it! You're a great teacher, thank you sincerely!🤗🤗🤗
Hey Dave, I’m real happy for you! Thanks for letting me know it and keep up the good work. Cheers.
Hi Sir, it's been 3 years, I started learning Guitar,and I must tell you,it's a incredible journey. I never had any Teacher during this time. All what I learnt, Majority of which is from your videos and website. Thank you very much for your support. Loads of learning is still awaiting. Long way to go.
♥️♥️♥️
Such a fantastic way of explaining things. This lesson has really given me some great inspiration.
Thanks W A
Justin, both of us have been learning from you for 3 and 2 years respectively and you’ve made our guitar journey both fun and enjoyable. Your lessons are easy to follow and you seem like such a friendly chap. Thank you!
Hey Justin 💪, you are the best...i have been playing guitar now for 5 years and you introduced me to chords and scales...and when i have difficulties with something i usually come back to check..am thankful
You always have such great advice in your lessons Justine. There is something here for players at EVERY level to learn. I think there are probably many players like me that taught themselves how to play a long time ago and are missing a lot of fundamental, and much needed, knowledge. Thank you.
A patient told me once that breathing is the first step to living longer! Seriously, love your lessons! Keep on keeping on! 🤟
I started watching your video way back many years ago. I think it's still in a 240p resolution. But man, you helped me a lot. I just want to say thanks for all of this. I appreciate the help you are doing to the guitar community.
Thank you for this lesson, Justine. I've been playing guitar a long time ago and recently resumed by studying your grade 1 and now in this video. I opened youtube and saw some blues jam track where I tried the foundation you just taught us. I was so happy inventing leads thank you so much for all your hard work. I wish you more success.
I didn't know you can do SO MUCH just using a C major scale, this is fantastic, thanks Justin.
I love you Justin. I can not afford lessons but you are my Go to Online instructor when I'm practicing. Your instructions are the perfect pace for me and I understand everything when you convey it. I'm relaxed with you more than other online instructors. Thank you so much and continue to bless us who want to learn to play well. God bless!
Brilliant! . . . and simple, I learnt all 5 positions of pentatonic, and while I might go up and down neck, not produced anything as musical as you just have. I completely fall into all the traps you talk about, too many notes, feel I have to permanently fill any space and feel pressure to do so. Going to have to go back, simplify, absorb your lesson and start again!
Bravo to this lesson.... It's something I've been struggling with...spot on!👌🏻
This lesson blew me away. I’ve been trying to improvise a little. Mostly cheesy blues phrases from the a minor scale. This is the first time I was able to play over a backing track and string some phrases into anything the even remotely resembled a solo. Thank you!
Justin, you are an amazing teacher! I don't think I've had this much fun playing guitar :) This was a great lesson!
Youre the best teacher ive ever seen. Thank you very much Justin
Thanks for the lessons!
JUSTIN! Thanks for inspiring me to teach guitar!!
Jason I’ve been searching for this lesson for so long, thanks so much
Earned my subscription mate, keep up the quality work
Thank you. And I appreciate your subscription.
Every lesson from Justin Guitar is awesome. But there are those lessons that really make you smile because now everything makes sense. This lesson made me smile, I want to learn all types of scales now xD. Thanks again Justin.
Justin I really enjoyed just watching your solo, can't wait to try it out myself! :D
Magic little demonstration. Worth 10,000 words!
awesome improv justin😍😍😍
Just a few words to thank you for all your videos. They are so helpful and you are the greatest teacher. 🤩
You are a fantastic teacher! Love your videos
This is brilliant stuff for beginners!
That really was a nice sound to work notes around..fun too
Ohh I love the backing track it's so fun to play and learn with. Thanks Justin! :)
This is sooo coool.... Thank you so so much, Justin ☺️☺️👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
That sounded pretty cool Justin cheers
Very cool info...this is exactly what Danish Pete said to The Captain in his lessons and what you said to the Captain in the Rut Buster videos! Thanks Justin!

Your awesome keep up the Great work you do
A pathway to joy , with my guitar. Thank you .

Always loving scales and noodling throughout the day and everyone learns from mistakes but keep at it and it comes together!! Guitar is a way to create positive feelings for all of us practice is everything Justin is the god of positivity and we should all take it all in, such an inspiring individual I wish the whole planet would be like big thanks to you Justin you mean a lot to me and your community
Wowwwwwww.thank you so much Sir,💐❤❤❤
Justin - First, thanks for all you've put into your channel and into the guitar teaching universe. You're always my first stop when I'm looking for guitar-related info (usually lessons for a particular song, but other stuff, too). You're THE example of giving, a very unusual trait.
With over 90 beginner lessons now, any chance we'll see either intermediate lessons or more intermediate songs in the near future?
I so wish I was able to take personal lessons from you. I should be a much better player than I am, but there's a mental block somewhere (I think). My problem, not yours!
Thanks again! ~ Lee
Brilliant lesson, even i can understand it, ha. Will be trying this later.
Very fun indeed I started jamming with you at the end
I see what you did there Justin 😎 veryimportanttoleavegapsevenwhenspeaking
Those chords in the key of C he listed and said go with notes in the C scale: C, Dm, Em, F, G, & Am
And? Did you want to say something, regarding those notes, and or Chords?
Colin Cannings Because he mentioned them just once, I was trying to save people time I took to go back and find that spot in the video and write them down.
Justin, you just opened up another secret door. Amazing teaching.
Thanks Master! :)
Thanks Meister! :)
@@justinguitar haha my name means master but im rhe apprentice in ülaying guitar but your a true master in guitar haha. Thanks for your helpful vids and tutorials. Always inspiring!
Finally a video format has answered my questions on making up a solo, brilliant video
justin am sure you can do that with the am beginner scale to that we start off with right ? Been playing for a couple of years now already done a bit of soloing to gary moore parisienne walkways at my sisters wedding a couple of years back but that was a melody me and my teacher came up with, and for me scales have been my downside for my playing havent gotten to the soloing stage yet just been mostly acdc chord kind of playing, And even though my teacher who is way better than me at soloing has shown me how to do it with the am scale ive still struggled to keep it going because i thought you had to do it in one big bunch if you like didnt know
You could break it down justin so i learned something new there so gonna try that next time i go to scale practice
Brilliant Justin! An epiphany for me.Soloing doesn't have to be overwhelming.Less is more.
Hi. I’m learning to play Sax and really would like to start improvising. Should I use the scale of the song (the key) or change scales at every chord change? Using just the one scale as you’ve shown (C) sounds good throughout the track even though there are several chord changes Thanks
Great. I am always afraid of doing this. The book i have, the scales shows a different c major scale to the you are using in the video. The guitarist scale book by peter vogl
Please Justin, can I use the C scale to improvise on all keys and even when the keys/chords are changing within the music?
This is fantastic stuff Justin, really loving playing over the backing track. Appreciate the lesson! I'm curious as well about how the notes are picked. Perhaps this will be answered in a later lesson but I'm curious. I know its all improvised, but are there certain notes that we should be thinking about that just sound good together? You'd mentioned in another lesson that the musical alphabet is similar to the regular alphabet and that you can't just string together random notes as it might be akin to writing something like: fgsdjfhskdjhfnkj instead of an actual sentence. How might this apply with improvising and scales besides (generally) limiting ourselves to playing notes within the scale itself? For example are there certain rules like how far you should jump around the scale at any given time etc?
More on that exact thing next lesson! :) but important to explore it on your own first!
@@justinguitar Definitely, I'm having fun doing just that! Looking forward to the next lesson, thanks a lot Justin!
Do the scale and the key have to be the same, both C for example?
Where can I find the backing track please and thank you.
Hi Justin....trying to find the backing track in "C" from this lesson...please give me a clue...thanks
3:15 I saw what you did there. Nice
What of songs that don't fall under C Major keys (Dm , Em , G,F,)
I googled major pentatonic and it showed 5 positions but none of the diagrams I found showed notes 1 and 3 on the high E that you played, Justin. Every time I think I have a grasp something like this knocks me back. I would really appreciate a simple explanation from anyone if you'd be so kind.
C- Major SCALE.
The major scale is a 7-note scale and the notes in the C Major Scale are [ C D E F G A B C ]
For your specific question, the notes 1 and 3 on the High E are... E1 = F, E3 = G, which fit perfectly well into the C major scale. (And the pentatonic scale)
The pentatonic scale is a 5-note scale the C Major pentatonic is 5 notes from the C-Major scale. CDEGA
The Root note, C
The 2nd, the D
the 3rd, the E
the 5th, the G
the 6th the A
Hello, I'm trying to understand scales better and how to play freely across the neck, are there any videos that explain how to do that? Or how to understand the scales in general ?
Learn the Five positions of the major pentatonic scale.
There are many places online and many apps available as well that show scales.
Hey, great lesson but there's no backing track on the app
I remember the first time I started improvising, my life hasnt been the same since 😅
So much fun eh!
@@justinguitar absolutely :)
I couldn't find the backing track link.
This is great! But do you have a various kinds of scale backing tracks like a link or something
www.justinguitarjams.com
@@justinguitar Thank you...
Justin, could i hire you to teach a song for me, if so, what’s the best way to contact you
Hey Justin, where is the backing track? Can’t find it on the website and anxious to get started.
You have to log in then go to the lesson, click download
Isn't there a tab for this?
What even is the ultimate (or alternate??) picking pattern as said in the video
Up down picking
Justin, where is the free backing track for the C major scale? I clicked on the above and it just takes me to the same video above.....Sal : )
Hi can someone send me the link for the backing track for this lesson
Thanks
Steve blakeley
It is just a loop Justin did for the lesson. There are many backing tracks here: www.justinguitar.com/products?type=jam-tracks
Cheers 😊

Hi Justin; How do find the Backing Track you mentioned?
Click the first link in the description
Does anyone has a link for the backing track??
Justin has provided the first link in the description to the lesson on his website to which this video relates. The backing track is in the download section of that lesson. I trust that helps.
He looks like Mr. Sato from AJIN(anime)
Can't find the backing track at the website. It says mp3 available on tab above... can't find tab above. Probably my error... anyone have advice?
Hi. It is downloadable here: www.justinguitar.com/guitar-lessons/major-scale-improvisation-bg-1006#resources

@JustinGuitar what kind of tuner are you using in this video?
Anonymous Hippopotamus looks a bit like a polytune clip on to me?
Yep - polytune clip!
@@justinguitar Thanks mates, love the videos. Keep them coming!! :D
Jamming with alien
Double stops lesson anyone??!!
I hope it's supposed to sound like absolute balls at first
Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask but I looked up C major scale and I don't understand why it starts where it does. So I looked at the rest but still don't see an obvious pattern.
It will usually start on the root note.
There are basically 5 main positions on the fretboard going from the nut and up to the 12th fret.
It then starts over up to the end of the fretboard.
There are plenty of good scale apps available for free online.
The playing with the backing track starts at 8 minutes
Can’t download the backing track.
What chords are in it?
You can play / download by clickong on the Resources tab under the video player here: www.justinguitar.com/guitar-lessons/major-scale-improvisation-bg-1006
Cheers 😊

One single thumb is far too little to give...
?
@@justinguitar He liked it so much he wants to give many thumbs up as a like.
well, you can donate in his page when you are eager to give more than a thumb up ;-)
@@chrisa3961 Good point and from those of us taking his course it's good to see that a number of us do.
Jamming with an Alien ? Did you mean Joe Satriani ?
Is it my eyes or he is Cillian Murphy?
If you’re jamming with an alien? ET?
Maybe? Phone home jam?
JustinGuitar Awesome. Can’t wait for the reverb to kick in on that one.
You had left your tuner on
Its just paying attention to the great lesson :)
The problem is not the guitar itself, okay this video is about 10.28 minutes, and the talks takes about 8.17 minutes in a words that can be summarized in a minute. Most of the adults learning wants to see how it is done. Thanks for posting .
He's being articulate
sorry to much verbal explanation. do not get me wrong i like your videos. peace.
