I have known the five patterns for sometime now and sharpening the leading note to make a new key, but the -5 +5 trick did it for me a real golden nugget. Thanks pal.
I have never learned boxes or patterns. I think intervals and where they lie in relation to each other. For example flat 7 2 frets back from root. Major third one string down 1 fret back, 4th one fret up from there and so on. Works anywhere on neck provided you know to compensate for the b string. Also trains the ear to the intervals which allows more melodic lines to be created
Brilliant John. Now I understand, whereas in the past I was all over the place because I didn't fully understand what I was doing. Thanks for helping this beginner. Great teaching.
Thanks John, that's useful, good timing as well, I've been looking at getting the pentatonic across the various keys into my head, but had resigned myself to the "ye oldde rotte and large styke aside thyne skull method", as taught in all good boarding schools of the middle ages.
I'm still a bit hazy on the pentatonic positions overall but I've already learned more about how to find them here than in my last 2 1/2 years since I started playing. I will rewatch this a few times just to cement it in there. Great lesson John,from another John.
Must admit I prefer using the chord positions. Root on the E string - minor pattern 1 above the bar and pattern 5 below. Root on the A string - minor pattern 4 above the bar and pattern 3 below. Pattern 2 is basically an extension of pattern 1 so job done
Brilliant stuff John! I especially like the +5 and -5 hack - that is so simple and so useful. By the way, I saw you in a new, bright red T-shirt in another video. New T-shirt? 🤔 Custom, signature edition guitar? 🤔 I’ll have to take a crack at this TH-cam stuff, it could be worthwhile … 💰😆
I think analyzing the names of the notes is another burden to get rid of. It is easier to think in intervalls, which are independent of the scale you are in.
Oooor, just slap a fret zealot on....tho that isn't my preferred learning method. Too late for me, I already learned them by force of habit and repetition

That's where I am getting to. It makes so independent of elaborating "what scale we are in".

Cheers mate. Glad to be of assistance 👍
Crikey, nice one - that's so clear. Absolutely brilliant lesson - thank you!
Very *VERY* cool, many thanks, John
Fascinating explanation 👍👍

Just opened up a whole new world to me. Thank you so much.
Absolutely splendid squire,thanks for the wisdom.
Extremely useful John - thank you very much. I liked your jam at the start - it sounded very Steely Dan like.
Thanks John. I’m definitely going to give that a go.

I like the idea of knowing all the scales in one position, but I can never remember which pattern equates to which scale.
Great lesson John
This is awsome. Thanks John
👍👏
Great thanks always a joy cheers sir
John: "Oops!"
Me: "Oops, oops, oops, oops, oops!"
Lol, Me Too! ; )
Great lesson John. I'm also enjoying your Udemy courses and getting a lot out of them. Thanks, Jay

Hi John. What would be the very first lesson you would teach someone who wanted to learn Guitar? Keep up the excellent work 👍
Cheers mate. Here's my absolute novice lesson th-cam.com/video/BF1uOgJ376U/w-d-xo.html
good question
Thanks John, really appreciate it 👍
...Don't memorize,UTILIZE!!!...Thank you...Peace...
Brilliantly put! I'm using that one 👍

Guess I'll never be a lead or blues player...you lost me.
