nobody’s gonna sit down and teach you every scale because there’s way too many of them lmao. he’s just referring to how to shape the scale on the fretboard so that you’re not confined to one position, which will really hold you back when improvising solos
This is such a good idea Rick. Imagine this being how you’re taught scales right off the bat, so you don’t have to go out of your way to then later on break out of the “boxes”.
I was trying to put this in words, but you said it pretty much straight forward. I would humbly add that it may be hard to see the restrictions in creativity (e.g. soloing) that position playing can put on you, until you actually can break free. Like hindsight, 20/20 and all that. But I guess we all gotta start somewhere ;) Cheers!
An interesting thing: I first started with 2-3 diagonal pentatonic, which made the boxes more intuitive. I think teaching diagonally helps to show where those main shapes connect
I’ve found it helpful to play 3 notes per string for alternate speed picking practice on guitar. You easily fall to the next string that way. I will be practicing this 4 note method on my bass tho. Appreciate the heads up
Beautiful guitar with some kind of sustain floating as you play that scale! It has that Neal Schonn feel to it, from the infinity album? Love his, and the band playing together. Neal's cosmic notes are a perfect floating dance with Steve's soaring voice. Perfect name for a band that acoustically and harmoniously literally took you on a Journey!
Hi Rick! Congrats on making 60. I'll be 57 in May..never believed I would make passed 30. Anyhow, I'm watching ur lessons on scales.. I can't afford ur lesson guides, between jobs.. Thank you for your candor and generosity!
He played a scale - 2 notes per string. Is your sound on? I mean, you know what "2" means right? It's one more than one. And a string - those long wobbly things. And a scale: check Julie Andrews - the Sound of Music. Beyond that, I don't know what to suggest..get Rick to play it for you?
Take the D note on the 10th fret of the bottom E bass string and try spelling out the D major scale(WWHWWWH) with two notes on each string going up the strings. Isn't as hard as most other Rick Beato videos.

Wow ! That is so awesome brother !!! I definitely need to learn the notes of the fretboard, I been playing for years and still never took the time to actually memorize the fretboard,, TY ,, 😎✌️🎶🎶🎶
I just stopped the video a few times and figured it out pretty quickly. The concept is simple enough. Start at one note, go up 2 notes per string through the scale, stay on the last string until the next octave, then descend through that same scale 2 notes per string. You'll learn a lot more trying to figure out the notes of the scale, rather than simply playing a line off of notation. The last part is just the ascending triad arpeggio with 2 extra notes on the descend for a better resolution to the tonic.
I’m a 40 year old man with aspirations of becoming a shredder. For my own gain. I’ve been playing a while and neglected to learn the fretboard. This seems like a great place to start. Thank you very much.
I’ve been practicing the caged system for those five shapes on the guitar and and playing the chords that they’re based on using those five shapes, and then building major scales around those positions. Also, practice, major, harmonic minor, melodic minor, and harmonic major scales
It would be so sick to see you react Australian Indie Pop/rock and surf rock. There are some great and original sounds coming from down here and it would be awesome to see what you think. Some bands may be Spacey Jane, Tame Impala, Teenage Dads, Lime Cordiale, Sticky Fingers, Skegss, Hockey Dad and more!!
Like coming from trumpet for 7 years and now guitar for the past two. I know what the scales sound like and what notes are but he just makes it look easy!
Bloody hell! finally I feel I want to have a go at scales and trying to learn my way around the neck same as i do keyboard. watching you run up and down the steps i suddenly saw the shapes and thought “it’s the same, I can do this!” just a bit more complex with the scales sitting on top of one another rather than spread out in a single line as on keyboard. And loving the catchphrase: “like that!” 👌🏻🙏🏻
Start in open position. Stay in position, play the scale, one finger per fret. Slide up one fret to 1st position, repeat same scale. Next 2nd position until you went up 12 frets. Back to open position pick next chromatic scale. Repeat.
Long-time flute player who's now learning guitar, and while I understood the instructions, this still gave me "draw the rest of the f🤬kin' owl" vibes...But, like, in a good way. 😅
Good idea bc when you pick 3 per string the pick gets alternatly orientated up/down when moving to the next string which wastes time and energy. Its like pentatonic picking for full scales.
Can someone explain in simple terms what this is teaching? I have no music theory but I am picking up guitar. I have no clue what scales and all that exactly means. What are the relationship between these specific notes?
Scales follow this structure: whole tone, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half. With the C major you get C, D, E, F, G, A, B. If you play the scale on your guitar two notes pet string, you'd be looking at those notes on a specific string like Rick does here (he uses the D major scale which uses C sharp and F sharp)

Rick starts playing: Heavenly orchestra of angels join in*
🤣🤣🤣
How does he do that?
@@guylevi He uses shimmer reverb
I’m dead!!
No, he just added some pads in post. A shimmer reverb doesn't behave or sound like that
Compared to most of his “like that” videos, this one didn’t hurt my mind.
... and then you hear the amazing pad harmonies behind.
@@maldivirdragonwitch 😂
🤣
So true...the man talks in binary
That little 3rd part where he go's up again is so fast I have trouble following him?
He is truly brilliant in his practicality. His lessons aren't meant only to teach theory but actual hands-on usage.
“Okay let me teach you guys this good practice technique” **Shreds** “like that” 👍
Exactly. I wish someone could teach beginning from the very beginning. 😅
@@alexmetistaThere are plenty of people on this very platform that do. What he was showing was an intermediate exercise, not a beginner one.
You have me dying 😂

Right?!! You have to already know so much just to be able to follow along, let alone learn anything new.
I need to find a guitar like yours that runs a string swell in the background whenever I start playing any notes.
It's the new padocaster
It's a effects pedal bro, like a looper.
It's a pedel that "freezes" a note
That's the 'likethat' effect pedal. I think.
Sounds a bit like the RV6 shimmer verb.
Most important thing for practicing scales :
Shimmer reverb
This is such a good idea Rick. Imagine this being how you’re taught scales right off the bat, so you don’t have to go out of your way to then later on break out of the “boxes”.
@@crouchjump5787 that's good for you, but almost all of us learned that way
Yo lu got any tabs to practice that?

yes.exactly ...still trying to break free of ,the boxes

A more in depth video with some other scale examples would be awesome
I have found it helpful to also play scales four notes per string, also moving up and down the fretboard, especially on bass.

Rick - seriously DON'T LEAVE US. Even if we can't be like you, we get inspired by your questions, answers and humanity. Please don't go away!
damn that color is beautiful
I concur… Never wanted to rock an SG so bad!!!!
.........I just watch for the “like that”.......
Like dat, b!tches!
Me too 😂
Seriously
@@Jonbo117 yes, I miss Tommy Cooper... 😂
Same 😂
What a beautiful cut on those horns. That is one gorgeous SG

Its amazing how you can spiral around the chord and come right back to it. This is a very useful concept
I'm still asking myself, "What just happened?"
SAME

This is the first time I understand something nice!!
I’m partial to the no notes per string method
Never thought of it this way, but just learned it from the video😮 It's easier than it looks.❤ Don't forget to learn it in a minor scale.
Beautiful lesson!👍 Watching you again got me itching to get back into it.
Brilliant lesson. best teacher on the planet
.
Rick you are a great 👍 👌🏿 guitarists my friend.
Wow ! That is so awesome brother !!!
I definitely need to learn the notes of the fretboard, I been playing for years and still never took the time to actually memorize the fretboard,,
TY ,, 😎✌️🎶🎶🎶
What a fantastic tone..
Hey Rick, man I would love to get my hands on some tabs of that brother! It would help me tremendously
I just stopped the video a few times and figured it out pretty quickly.
The concept is simple enough.
Start at one note, go up 2 notes per string through the scale, stay on the last string until the next octave, then descend through that same scale 2 notes per string.

Man I so appreciate your content. Thank You for all the FREE content. I hope blessing and prosperity for you and your Family Mr B
Great lesson as always Rick! 👍 🔥🙏👏
He just taught nothing. Just showing off.
You're pretty amazing at the guitar!
I'm assuming you are being facetious! He's getting his own signature guitar and it's not because he's in a big name band.
I’m a 40 year old man with aspirations of becoming a shredder. For my own gain. I’ve been playing a while and neglected to learn the fretboard. This seems like a great place to start. Thank you very much.
Love and respect to you, RB!! ❤
I knew Rick was very knowledgeable about music theory and composition etc.
But I had no idea what a badass 😎 guitarist he is!!
Guys, search for a drone chord with strings video and apply this. Feels good
I’ve been practicing the caged system for those five shapes on the guitar and and playing the chords that they’re based on using those five shapes, and then building major scales around those positions. Also, practice, major, harmonic minor, melodic minor, and harmonic major scales

Very nice Rick, thank you
Rick is such a great guitarist to the point that heaven is his one and only backing track
Dude. All these scales sound like timeless classical compositions. You're a goddamn wizard.
Hilarious and just like that …..I like the angels singing in the background……that was the most beautiful lesson I’ve ever seen
Wow..amazing
Can we get Mark Tremonti on your show soon??
Support your local Italian American’s!
Bro I love your way of teaching... it's so me... melody wise I love it
Always more to learn!
Allan Holdsworth generally uses 4 fingers per string for this before transition to a next string, like violin players.
But that's Holdsworth.
Great practice lesson for beginners.
Wow...fun exploration...will sure try this out
I'm sure I'll enjoy this.
Thanks!
Man I'm lucky to even hear it and it register in my brain.
That droning note is angelic sounding
Yes I was able to do this one . Probably because I spent all Covid learning scales and modes . Thx!
Bloody hell! finally I feel I want to have a go at scales and trying to learn my way around the neck same as i do keyboard. watching you run up and down the steps i suddenly saw the shapes and thought “it’s the same, I can do this!” just a bit more complex with the scales sitting on top of one another rather than spread out in a single line as on keyboard.

This will help a lot. Thank you maestro.
came in for the scales, stayed cause of "like that..."
I could listen to you doing scales over and over.
That was awesome. I kind of heard Xanadu by rush in there! 🥁🥁🥁
Rick is the man. I’ve been playing guitar for 30 years and almost immediately he lost me…..if this is supposed to be a teaching video - I’m lost! 😊
Start in open position. Stay in position, play the scale, one finger per fret. Slide up one fret to 1st position, repeat same scale. Next 2nd position until you went up 12 frets. Back to open position pick next chromatic scale. Repeat.
Been watching your full videos for years - NO IDEA you were so good on guitar.
this is a huge step in the right direction, but a diagram should be included
It's the major scale. Do your own homework.
Excellent
That tone is awesome
Lol this simple exercise just blew my mind and ability wide open...how have I not come across this sooner ..ty sir
I like this. Simple and easy. Great idea. Plan to put this to use tonight.
also by learning triads and not memorizing which shape comes next. That way you have to find each not all over the neck
JUST HAD A DUH MOMENT!!! Been playing for years! THANK YOU!!!
This is brilliant 👏
You can also practice modes doing this by moving up to the next note of the scale and doing the same thing while staying using d major
Might be the most beautiful thing I’ve heard
I love the magical drone that plays as soon as he starts playing
Long-time flute player who's now learning guitar, and while I understood the instructions, this still gave me "draw the rest of the f🤬kin' owl" vibes...But, like, in a good way. 😅
Fantastic exercise 👏 👌 🙏
You make this look so simple. Thank you! Maybe I can learn more in this manner using this video as a model in my free time.
I have that guitar in the epiphone version. It's just pure beauty
Two notes per string is a good way to force you to move across the neck more
Im sure i hear heaven when he plays
Phucking beautiful example!
Like a champ!! That’s how you do it.
Every time I watch one of your instructional videos my head explodes.
awesome 👍👍
That's actually really an ingenius idea, thank you for it
Ok this will be my next year's of practice just in this short video sounds so awesome and looks like u can get so many combinations waoo
That last chord though 👌
Good idea bc when you pick 3 per string the pick gets alternatly orientated up/down when moving to the next string which wastes time and energy. Its like pentatonic picking for full scales.
So cool , I’ve never seen it done like that!!
THANK YOU, Rick!
Can someone explain in simple terms what this is teaching? I have no music theory but I am picking up guitar. I have no clue what scales and all that exactly means.
What are the relationship between these specific notes?
This is help u to understand frets better. To maping the melody. But I think u should learn pentatonic scale first if u new to electric guitar.
Scales follow this structure: whole tone, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half. With the C major you get C, D, E, F, G, A, B. If you play the scale on your guitar two notes pet string, you'd be looking at those notes on a specific string like Rick does here (he uses the D major scale which uses C sharp and F sharp)
Beautiful instrument
Love your work!!!
What a master. Love me some Beato
I’m a “beginner” and I have a couple questions: 1) Are all the notes he played part of the D major scale? 2) Is everything he played in the key of D ?
What a great idea! Currently struggling to get the melodic minor modes under my fingers. Going to try this!
That's useful. Much appreciated.
Excellent advice!!
I definitely need to get some hours in... Rusty!
What a brilliant little video
Cool AF! 😎🤘🔥
love the SG
