great lesson Steve. I am a new player. I learning the caged system and major C scale and building chords. It nice to see playing open string chords and mixing them with the pentatonic scale.
At 40 years old and off and on playing for years I finally learned to slow down listen. I have found that combination of thinking and Steve's way of teaching are it. I have light bulbs going off left and right and have never been more excited about guitar. This guy is tops

I’ve played for 20+ years. Took private lessons. Seen a million guitar instruction videos. This video is the first of yours I’ve ever seen, Steve, and it clicked with me like none other. Thank you! I’m eager to watch your other videos and learn even more.
Yup! Steve made pentatonic concept of major and relative minor "click the switch" on in my mind. I like the hammer and pull varients and the finger positioning techniques to set up strength dynamics in bending and vibrato and such.
Great job Steve.. I'm NYC therapist working 12-14 hours a day the past few months. My only reprieve is a little guitar time. This was a fun learn... really appreciate it!
Probably the most inspirational and important lesson I've ever seen on how to get a lot more 'colour' into my playing! I know I can't do this stuff yet, but it makes me want to get there - thank you!!
Steve, this lesson came at exactly the right time! I was comfortable with most open chords and changing between them and just starting to think that it all sounded a bit samey. I knew the pentatonic scales but never made this connection, this opened up so many possibilities! Honestly I can't express how much of a gamechanger lesson this is for me. It instantly clicked and feels so obvious and natural now that you've explained it. Thank you so much!
I agree 100% with David here! This came at the right time and making this connection of this overlay helps me to begin to understand the origins of how soloing might come about. I totally agree, it's a game changer. I also really appreciate understanding the minor pentatonics and how they correlate to major pentatonics in a different key. This is HUGE!! Thanks steve!
Yep agreed! Thanks Steve, that was great. I love blues jams, but more oftenthan not, I'm in a situation where I play songs on the acoustic. The embellishments and opportunities you have created are just what I need. Simple, thank goodness, yet so effective.
This is one of the best guitar lessons I've ever seen on youtube. I've been playing 40 years and this lesson explained to me how to solo around the fretboard with interesting ornamentation and slides. I never knew those slides were built into different pentatonic positions until now. Awesome and inspiring.
Steve's teaching method is the best I have ever seen, I think. He is so clear. and well-structured, and best of all, he doesn't rip out a difficult lick in the middle and sort of go: "there you are - pick the bones out of that!"
Thank you for showing the magic sounds that i didn't know how to incorporate in my playing. This video moves me years ahead of what i was doing on my own. Forty years playing and without this video I might not have known.
i love you man❣❣ . seriously the lessons taught by you are very simple to comprehend and execute and it clears of all the confusions. thanks for your work and jesus bless you. ❣❣
I am almost 50 and thought I was able to do on the guitar what I can already do and no more but you just showed me how my dad was always able to play those notes as he transitioned from one chord to the next and you made it so easy! I am actually progressing again (I play by ear so notes are like a foreign language to me) the visual and hearing it together was just what I needed!!! Thank you so much!
Hey Steve! I'm a re-beginner guitar player who have had a 30 year pause due to a bad blues teacher in Stockholm. Happy to say I'm back in the saddle again after stumbling over your videos here. Your make it so fun and easy to learn and you put all relevant info together perfectly without "gaps". Your vids are a goldmine and I'm so thankful to you. Peace and love from Stockholm Sweden. 😃😃😃
Steve is the best teacher. Bought his courses in October 2021 and since then I have gained understanding of the guitar after 30 years of playing. My enjoyment has gone up 10x. I only paid $69 and it was worth every penny! Rock on people
Finally, the ONLY lesson that unravels the mystery of fretboard without a hint of marketing tone - answered my question that I had for years. Thank you Steve; definitely one of the top teachers on TH-cam bar none!
Always worth watching Steve. He works through things methodically and thoroughly so we can all understand. There's even lessons within lessons. His explanation of the relationship between Major and Minor is a great lesson in itself!
Hi Steve, this is Bruno from Italy, well, not often I spend 40 minutes looking videos, but I never bored looking to yours!... You are clear giving time to understand what you do.... Please keep on this way!
Been playing 15 years, gave up for 3 and just started... I could never truly understand how to do this and with in 15 mind of this video I now do.... awesome buddy, gave me a new need to play again.
Hi. Thanks so much for your comment and kind words. Glad to know the video was an inspiration to pick up the guitar. Keep up the good work and feel free to ask any questions if you need to.
Mate you've completely lifted the way I play guitar , this and your other videos are just making everything link together and allowing me to let my guitar flow .
Best course ever. Never seen anybody explained this like you. So nice when you show how to combine theory with tecnique and different sound. You are the best. Thanks Steve
Dude hands down you are the best guitar teacher on TH-cam!! You make everything so much easier plus you actually make it make sense. I’m glad I stumbled across your videos
Steve , not only are You a GREAT talented player but You are a very gifted teacher.Easily imparting Your gifts with US! Thanx for saving Me a Year of fumbling through My journey in the "chord jungle".YOUR MACHETE helped Me cut a clearer path! Peace and Long Life Steve!
Thank you so much for this video...Seventy two years young and just learning the guitar.. your videos have been a great help for me . keeping my mind and hands busy Thank uou again
Love your lessons. Makes me wish I had 12hrs a day to work on each of these videos. I would be the worlds second best player! But my hour a day, after work, it’s going to take about 980 years to get all this. Here’s to 3000!!
I've been strumming guitars a long time, but have progressed slowly to the intermediate level. I love Steve's vids like this as I pick up on a bunch of tips and ideas I either didn't realize I do already or are totally new to me. Steve puts out a bunch of info in such an efficent "no time wasted" interesting fashion. Very cool hombre, this Steve dude.
Great lesson! I’m finally starting to grasp this! Lol Started playing with zero experience 2 years ago at age 52. Wish I would have done this 35 years ago but I’m making progress little by little. Thanks again Steve! Your a great teacher!
If you’ve been playing acoustic 6 months, watch this video. If you’ve been playing 6 years, watch this video. I’ve been playing 55 years. Yeah, I guess I knew everything Steve covered here. But I watched this video. I had to watch every second of this, because the subject is explained so clearly-so beautifully. Thinking back to when I had just been playing six months I can see my 15-year-old self getting a little frustrated maybe about my fingers not doing what I’m telling them to do. But if you start with this core knowledge covered here, you can speed up your playing skills; by years maybe.
Well I don’t want to sound like those other people that say oh my god I’ve been playing for 30 years and just now understanding this...but I’ve been playing for a year and you sire just helped me save 29 confusing years.
Thank goodness, and thank you Steve ! Oh this a beautiful lesson showing something I’ve wanted to learn and tried to observe with other players. So helpful and so clear 🎉!
He’s a beast ! One of the most talented and versatile musicians ! I’m 54 and started “attempting “ to play about a month ago , I have nothing but respect for you and thank you for what you do !

This was actually super helpful, by far the best video I've seen explaining pantatonics in general. This helped me not only apply it to my music but understand the theory behind songs like wish you were here. Amazing
Steve- After decades of toying around with a guitar, I committed to finally study and consistently practice once COVID struck and found myself in lockdown. I started with many of your videos and bought one on your courses. Then I discovered the multitude of other options and material available and found myself buying courses from a dozen other sites. So many choices. Although I made some decent progress, I realized after being blown away by this specific lesson, that I should have remained your devoted student. This is the only lesson that I have seen in that time that clearly articulates the chordal and scalar relationships so beautifully. You have a real gift Steve.

I have never seen/heard anyone ever explain this (major/minor) scale concept in such a clear and simple lesson, double thumbs up to you Steve. When you can answer questions, before people even have the chance to ask themselves why - this or that. I think is a sign of an awesome teacher.

Thank you Steve - this lesson has been perfect for opening my eyes to how I can use the E minor pentatonic blues I’ve been building on for a few months and take that shape and the ideas in a completely new direction! Also the way you’ve layered on the techniques trough the video is so simple and yet gives me a path to follow. Great lesson 👍

I sub'd a while back, and have been stuck on the confusing scales issue. I paid $$$ for those bogus PENTATONIC and NECK COURSES... FAIL! You nailed this in one go over the whole fingerboard and every key in one unified, simple rule! Your instruction style makes it so straightforward to understand everything you discuss. So glad i subscribed! Thanks so much Steve, awesome dude, best wishes for ALL here. 🤓
Once again, an amazing lesson! His explanations and demonstrations simplifies the theory points better than any previous lessons I’ve had with other teachers. Thanks so much.
this is really well done. I play quite a bit, still go online for sutff like this to stay on my game, but your methodology and delivery is the best i've seen on TH-cam. well done, man.
talk about embellishments! steve this lesson is awesome ! opens up a whole new world of acoustic playing. been playing for nine months and your lessons especially this one was a aha moment. i need to watch this one over and over again. thanks your the best !
Thank you so much. My guitar has been my happy place which I desperately need right now. Home with two pre-teens since March and will be home with them until sometime in the future whenever the school decides how they are going to educate through a pandemic. I was starting to get bored but this will keep me busy for a while. It’s fantastic to learn how to play and not just how to memorize
WOW !!! ... just WOW !!! Thanks ... I will watch this over and over. This is where I am in my private guitar lessons but seeing you every day vs my teacher once a week will really accelerate my progress. You're awesome !!!

Best explanation yet. Needs notes with numbers. And multiply 145 positions. Possible add flat picking. I like to see how you muscle train right and left hand coordination
Starting working on this today after watching your vid - too awesome how this is sounding right away. I've been working on pentatonic scales for just a bit, so this lesson was perfect timing to give something to do with that. Thank you - truly.
Nice demonstration guitar playing video Steve. I am a guitar dabbler for 22 years. Wish I had something like this long ago. This was great ! It is where I want to go next as I do not know any Pentatonic scales at all yet. You showed us the how and the why. Thank you very much !
Hey my pleasure! So glad to know the lesson was helpful. Thanks for commenting and feel free to ask any questions if you need to. Keep up the good work. All the best!
Very simply taught. Thanks Steve you make it very easy to understand. I've been on other sites, were they go out of their way to make it more difficult then it really is. "CHEERS"
Thanks so much Steve for posting this and making it accessible to all. I was in a rut looking to link up chord ideas JUST like this, and you also explained why it worked. This helped me see where I was 'going wrong' so to speak, jumping out of key inadvertently and whatnot. Your attention to rhythm helps me do the same as well. And I can hear the classics in these mechanics as you play them, zeppelin, stevie ray. So Helpful!🎵🎶
All I can say is Holy Guitar insight! Not only did this help my pick strum thinking it completely and quickly gave me understanding of how to use the pentatonic up and down the neck and the theory. Tons to practice from 30 minutes of lessons. Thank you Steve!

great lesson Steve. I am a new player. I learning the caged system and major C scale and building chords. It nice to see playing open string chords and mixing them with the pentatonic scale.
Thanks Steve I need a little theory

At 40 years old and off and on playing for years I finally learned to slow down listen. I have found that combination of thinking and Steve's way of teaching are it. I have light bulbs going off left and right and have never been more excited about guitar. This guy is tops

You’re the 1st to explain this to me !!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸thank goodness
I’ve played for 20+ years. Took private lessons. Seen a million guitar instruction videos. This video is the first of yours I’ve ever seen, Steve, and it clicked with me like none other. Thank you! I’m eager to watch your other videos and learn even more.
I feel exactly the same.
steve is the best guitar teacher in the world period.
In the universe in the universe
Right! Go Steve!
Yes...and...STEVE...PRÉSIDENT 🙂👍👏👏👏👏
I’m looking for a teacher ! Where do you live ?
Yup! Steve made pentatonic concept of major and relative minor "click the switch" on in my mind. I like the hammer and pull varients and the finger positioning techniques to set up strength dynamics in bending and vibrato and such.
Hi, I'm 71 and have been learning/playing for 6 years. This lesson will take me a bit further in my quest to get better. Thank You!!
My pleasure! Glad to know the lesson was helpful. Feel free to ask any questions if you need to and keep up the good work!
Great job Steve.. I'm NYC therapist working 12-14 hours a day the past few months. My only reprieve is a little guitar time. This was a fun learn... really appreciate it!
Probably the most inspirational and important lesson I've ever seen on how to get a lot more 'colour' into my playing! I know I can't do this stuff yet, but it makes me want to get there - thank you!!
Steve, this lesson came at exactly the right time! I was comfortable with most open chords and changing between them and just starting to think that it all sounded a bit samey. I knew the pentatonic scales but never made this connection, this opened up so many possibilities! Honestly I can't express how much of a gamechanger lesson this is for me. It instantly clicked and feels so obvious and natural now that you've explained it. Thank you so much!
I agree 100% with David here! This came at the right time and making this connection of this overlay helps me to begin to understand the origins of how soloing might come about. I totally agree, it's a game changer. I also really appreciate understanding the minor pentatonics and how they correlate to major pentatonics in a different key. This is HUGE!! Thanks steve!
Same. So helpful. I'm suddenly all over the note which are located within the chord locations. Brilliant explanation.
Same here....I'm starting to put all this together and this was a "light bulb" moment for me too! Thank you Steve!
Yep agreed! Thanks Steve, that was great. I love blues jams, but more oftenthan not, I'm in a situation where I play songs on the acoustic. The embellishments and opportunities you have created are just what I need. Simple, thank goodness, yet so effective.
This is one of the best guitar lessons I've ever seen on youtube. I've been playing 40 years and this lesson explained to me how to solo around the fretboard with interesting ornamentation and slides. I never knew those slides were built into different pentatonic positions until now. Awesome and inspiring.
Hi Kevin! Thanks so much for your comment and kind words! Really happy to know the lessons helped. Keep up the great work!
Steve's teaching method is the best I have ever seen, I think. He is so clear. and well-structured, and best of all, he doesn't rip out a difficult lick in the middle and sort of go: "there you are - pick the bones out of that!"
Thank you for showing the magic sounds that i didn't know how to incorporate in my playing. This video moves me years ahead of what i was doing on my own. Forty years playing and without this video I might not have known.
What a great lesson. There's so many duff guitar tutorials on TH-cam but he's absolutely nailed it
i love you man❣❣ . seriously the lessons taught by you are very simple to comprehend and execute and it clears of all the confusions. thanks for your work and jesus bless you. ❣❣
I am almost 50 and thought I was able to do on the guitar what I can already do and no more but you just showed me how my dad was always able to play those notes as he transitioned from one chord to the next and you made it so easy! I am actually progressing again (I play by ear so notes are like a foreign language to me) the visual and hearing it together was just what I needed!!! Thank you so much!
My pleasure. Really glad the lessons are helpful. Thanks so much for commenting and sharing your story.
Hey Steve! I'm a re-beginner guitar player who have had a 30 year pause due to a bad blues teacher in Stockholm. Happy to say I'm back in the saddle again after stumbling over your videos here. Your make it so fun and easy to learn and you put all relevant info together perfectly without "gaps". Your vids are a goldmine and I'm so thankful to you. Peace and love from Stockholm Sweden. 😃😃😃
Steve is the best teacher. Bought his courses in October 2021 and since then I have gained understanding of the guitar after 30 years of playing.
My enjoyment has gone up 10x. I only paid $69 and it was worth every penny! Rock on people
Finally, the ONLY lesson that unravels the mystery of fretboard without a hint of marketing tone - answered my question that I had for years. Thank you Steve; definitely one of the top teachers on TH-cam bar none!
The best guitar lesson i have ever seen! 👍
Sounds like Wish You Were Here and I Remember You had a child. Awesome lesson!! Thank you for sharing.
Always worth watching Steve. He works through things methodically and thoroughly so we can all understand.
There's even lessons within lessons.
His explanation of the relationship between Major and Minor is a great lesson in itself!
Hi Steve, this is Bruno from Italy, well, not often I spend 40 minutes looking videos, but I never bored looking to yours!... You are clear giving time to understand what you do.... Please keep on this way!
Been playing 15 years, gave up for 3 and just started... I could never truly understand how to do this and with in 15 mind of this video I now do.... awesome buddy, gave me a new need to play again.
Hi. Thanks so much for your comment and kind words. Glad to know the video was an inspiration to pick up the guitar. Keep up the good work and feel free to ask any questions if you need to.
Mate you've completely lifted the way I play guitar , this and your other videos are just making everything link together and allowing me to let my guitar flow .
Best course ever. Never seen anybody explained this like you. So nice when you show how to combine theory with tecnique and different sound. You are the best. Thanks Steve
Dude hands down you are the best guitar teacher on TH-cam!! You make everything so much easier plus you actually make it make sense. I’m glad I stumbled across your videos
Steve , not only are You a GREAT talented player but You are a very gifted teacher.Easily imparting Your gifts with US!
Thanx for saving Me a Year of fumbling through My journey in the "chord jungle".YOUR MACHETE helped Me cut a clearer path! Peace and Long Life Steve!
Hi! Thanks you so much for your comment and kind words. Really happy to know the lessons are helpful. Any questions please feel free to ask.
So patient, relaxed and thorough in explaining this. You're one of the best teachers I've seen online. Thanks for this lesson!
Steve by far you are still the best youtube teacher, and those lessons are so practical and useable...keep up the best
Thank you so much for this video...Seventy two years young and just learning the guitar..
your videos have been a great help for me . keeping my mind and hands busy
Thank uou again
Thanks Steve,I have been glued to your videos all these while.You have really taken me higher in my love for playing music on acoustic guitar.
Agree with the comments, love your teaching style. Been playing guitar for 40 years but have never understood music. This is really helpful.
Just stumbled on this guy.
Wow.
Excellent . Simple but not patronising and beautifully explained.
Some people are born to teach
Love your lessons. Makes me wish I had 12hrs a day to work on each of these videos. I would be the worlds second best player! But my hour a day, after work, it’s going to take about 980 years to get all this. Here’s to 3000!!
I've been strumming guitars a long time, but have progressed slowly to the intermediate level. I love Steve's vids like this as I pick up on a bunch of tips and ideas I either didn't realize I do already or are totally new to me. Steve puts out a bunch of info in such an efficent "no time wasted" interesting fashion. Very cool hombre, this Steve dude.
Right it hits you
I watch this video at least a half a dozen times, stopping and starting, trying to soak in all the knowledge. Great video. Thanks Steve.
Steve is the best teacher I've seen. I've learned so much in a very short time.
My playing has really taken off. You are the best teacher I've found! Thanks and God bless!!
Much gratitude for this clear, easy to follow lesson! Yet it’s packed!
Great lesson! I’m finally starting to grasp this! Lol
Started playing with zero experience 2 years ago at age 52. Wish I would have done this 35 years ago but I’m making progress little by little. Thanks again Steve! Your a great teacher!
If you’ve been playing acoustic 6 months, watch this video. If you’ve been playing 6 years, watch this video.
I’ve been playing 55 years. Yeah, I guess I knew everything Steve covered here. But I watched this video. I had to watch every second of this, because the subject is explained so clearly-so beautifully.
Thinking back to when I had just been playing six months I can see my 15-year-old self getting a little frustrated maybe about my fingers not doing what I’m telling them to do. But if you start with this core knowledge covered here, you can speed up your playing skills; by years maybe.
Nice job Steve. Using the pinky to emphasize the note was an epiphany in hiding for 47 years. So grateful. Thanks.
Well I don’t want to sound like those other people that say oh my god I’ve been playing for 30 years and just now understanding this...but I’ve been playing for a year and you sire just helped me save 29 confusing years.
Thank goodness, and thank you Steve ! Oh this a beautiful lesson showing something I’ve wanted to learn and tried to observe with other players. So helpful and so clear 🎉!
He’s a beast ! One of the most talented and versatile musicians ! I’m 54 and started “attempting “ to play about a month ago , I have nothing but respect for you and thank you for what you do !
Thanks for the kind words, Rob! And thanks for watching! :-)

This was actually super helpful, by far the best video I've seen explaining pantatonics in general. This helped me not only apply it to my music but understand the theory behind songs like wish you were here. Amazing
Hi. Thanks so much for the comment and kind words! That's awesome to hear! Thanks again! 🙂
I have been playing for years but your easy-to-understand lesson opened up so many possibilities.
Steve- After decades of toying around with a guitar, I committed to finally study and consistently practice once COVID struck and found myself in lockdown. I started with many of your videos and bought one on your courses. Then I discovered the multitude of other options and material available and found myself buying courses from a dozen other sites. So many choices. Although I made some decent progress, I realized after being blown away by this specific lesson, that I should have remained your devoted student. This is the only lesson that I have seen in that time that clearly articulates the chordal and scalar relationships so beautifully. You have a real gift Steve.
Glad you're back, Rob! If you want to check out more of Steve's courses, there's a new GuitarZoom Premium Membership you should check out: guitarzoom.com/join

I've played for over 30 years. This is a fantastic lesson. I learned a lot!
I have never seen/heard anyone ever explain this (major/minor) scale concept in such a clear and simple lesson, double thumbs up to you Steve. When you can answer questions, before people even have the chance to ask themselves why - this or that. I think is a sign of an awesome teacher.
Thanks for the kind words! :-)

Thanks Steve you're a great teacher.
Thank you Steve - this lesson has been perfect for opening my eyes to how I can use the E minor pentatonic blues I’ve been building on for a few months and take that shape and the ideas in a completely new direction! Also the way you’ve layered on the techniques trough the video is so simple and yet gives me a path to follow. Great lesson 👍
Dude, your Martin has such great tone...Glad you chose that one to show us pentatonic scales on.....
One of the best lessons online for sure.
Thanks for the kind words, Cody! :-)

I sub'd a while back, and have been stuck on the confusing scales issue. I paid $$$ for those bogus PENTATONIC and NECK COURSES... FAIL! You nailed this in one go over the whole fingerboard and every key in one unified, simple rule!
Your instruction style makes it so straightforward to understand everything you discuss.
So glad i subscribed!
Thanks so much Steve, awesome dude, best wishes for ALL here. 🤓
Once again, an amazing lesson! His explanations and demonstrations simplifies the theory points better than any previous lessons I’ve had with other teachers. Thanks so much.
this is really well done. I play quite a bit, still go online for sutff like this to stay on my game, but your methodology and delivery is the best i've seen on TH-cam. well done, man.
talk about embellishments! steve this lesson is awesome ! opens up a whole new world of acoustic playing. been playing for nine months and your lessons especially this one was a aha moment. i need to watch this one over and over again. thanks your the best !
Thank you so much. My guitar has been my happy place which I desperately need right now. Home with two pre-teens since March and will be home with them until sometime in the future whenever the school decides how they are going to educate through a pandemic. I was starting to get bored but this will keep me busy for a while. It’s fantastic to learn how to play and not just how to memorize
WOW !!! ... just WOW !!! Thanks ... I will watch this over and over. This is where I am in my private guitar lessons but seeing you every day vs my teacher once a week will really accelerate my progress. You're awesome !!!
That is one of the best lessons I’ve seen on you tube. Exactly what I was after. Thanks Steve.
WOW STEVE LOVE IT. MY FINGERS ARE MOVING FASTER THAN MY BRAIN RIGHT NOW. FROM ONE STEVE TO ANOTHER THANKS.! I AM 65YRS OLD
. NEVER TO OLD TO LEARN
Don't take this the wrong way but, you are the Bob Ross of guitar. You are a fantastic trainer/teacher. Thanks so much.
You are such an awesome teacher mate.

Best explanation yet. Needs notes with numbers. And multiply 145 positions. Possible add flat picking.
I like to see how you muscle train right and left hand coordination
You are awesome... I have been taking lessons for a few months now and not learning any of these things thank you so much
Starting working on this today after watching your vid - too awesome how this is sounding right away. I've been working on pentatonic scales for just a bit, so this lesson was perfect timing to give something to do with that. Thank you - truly.
Nice demonstration guitar playing video Steve. I am a guitar dabbler for 22 years. Wish I had something like this long ago. This was great ! It is where I want to go next as I do not know any Pentatonic scales at all yet. You showed us the how and the why. Thank you very much !
Hey my pleasure! So glad to know the lesson was helpful. Thanks for commenting and feel free to ask any questions if you need to. Keep up the good work. All the best!
Very simply taught. Thanks Steve you make it very easy to understand. I've been on other sites, were they go out of their way to make it more difficult then it really is. "CHEERS"
Thanks so much Steve for posting this and making it accessible to all. I was in a rut looking to link up chord ideas JUST like this, and you also explained why it worked. This helped me see where I was 'going wrong' so to speak, jumping out of key inadvertently and whatnot. Your attention to rhythm helps me do the same as well. And I can hear the classics in these mechanics as you play them, zeppelin, stevie ray. So Helpful!🎵🎶
Very valuable lesson for those who are busy learning pentatonic scales combined with hammerons, pull offs and slides. Like me! Thanks Steve
All I'm hearing in this video is Wish you Were Here and I completely love it!
And bits of over the hills lol
All I can say is Holy Guitar insight! Not only did this help my pick strum thinking it completely and quickly gave me understanding of how to use the pentatonic up and down the neck and the theory. Tons to practice from 30 minutes of lessons. Thank you Steve!
Glad the video helped you, David! :-)

Thank You Steve, now it makes sense on what notes sound good to dance with between the chords, and some great ways to play them too. No more boring strumming from chord to chord. For us non finger pickers this really makes our playing sound so much better. As always your method of teaching is easy to follow and starts us on a new playing journey. Thank You SOOOOOO! Much
