8:09 Hi Ricky, just finished this lesson (8) from your eBook, and found your story method for memorizing the note alphabet backwards interesting. If I can suggest an alternate acronym story based on a BEEFY nutrition. Grass FED Can Be Awesome 😂
That was a fantastic lesson thank you so much. Wish I had had a teacher like you when I was 11 here I am middle-aged and still playing house of the rising sun. But lessons like this are really helping me. I never knew there was life beyond the 12th fret.
72 YO - had piano lessons as a kid and that only lasted a couple years. You can't keep the attention of a kid with classical music when he wants to be Fats Domino or Chubby Checker - those were the a&& kickers of the day. Learning the keyboard is a no-brainer compared to the fretboard. It looks the same from top to bottom. That gave me a head start on theory but that was it. Fast forward to the day I decided to pick up a guitar and then Twenty two years later, I'm in the same boat with you. I've seen a lot of online instruction and Ricky has one of the best approaches to teaching I've seen. If I can get out of this on-again off-again routine I think he can actually teach me how to have fun with this 5 string + 1 instrument. Funny thing, one of the first songs I learned was House of the Rising Sun. Great minds.... right?
Old timer learning guitar for the very first time and I just just came across your videos. Having watched a couple I would like to say thank you for demystifying the fret board. and advising to learn in the board in chunks. Love your teaching style your a pleasure to watch. Dave
Holy cow big guy! This is the craziest, unorthodox, mind bugling way to memorize the fretboard. And most of all, even I could learn this puzzle. How you sliced and diced this fretboard and knowing where you're at at any given time is simply awesome. Cheers from Florida, USA.
I'm so glad to find a FBI that teaches the real basics of things that other people take for granted that we all know every thing about fret board notes and scales. Never knew anything about what I was playing until I found your teachings. I love your method.
I really appreciate your perspective. It resonates with me. Born in the UK, but an Aussie now in Canberra ACT - the Nations Capital. Thank you soooo much.
Absolutely brilliant Ricky. Very informative as was your earlier BEADGCF that you'd filmed through a sock ;-) I drew the entire fret-board just as you had it down. You are an excellent teacher.
Ricky, you are a great teacher! So few instructors look for and reveal these kinds of insights. These lessons have opened up the fretboard for me so quickly and easily. Thankyou!!
Thanks Rickey! I’ve wondered since the time I started learning guitar, how I would easily descend with these patterns. I was hearing and seeing the ascending notes and patterns, but hadn’t fully or securely “memorized” or know ALL the notes on the fretboard so descending seemed impossible or at least very frustrating to grasp! You are an AWESOME Teacher! This should start bringing me to another of many necessary breakthroughs in order to advance my playing skills. You make it fun! One Love
Just wanted to add my thanks for your lessons, I stumbled across them by accident, had no intention of going into theory, I started out guitar trying to learn all the theory stuff and soon hated playing guitar. So all I learned were songs and quite a few but the way you are teaching this stuff makes it easy to remember and understand so not as boring, and I actually may learn it after all, cheers!
Ricky thanks a lot for all your help And videos, I wish you were here in Tyne and Wear NE to teach me in person. I have purchased your book though and it’s arriving. So I have figured out some new patterns on the fretboard in this video. First of All, all the 3 scales modes have 17 notes without the sharps and flats that ascend and descend in a vertical way, that reminds me an escalator (scales) that moves people (notes) when a new person (note) step on it, the next one down or bellow (because we have escalators that goes down and up) and when one is reaching the end this person is moving away (the kink between the B note, is moving away the escalator (scale pattern ). I hope you understand this way I see. I think your the best teacher here, because you are patient, cool, funny, ludic (playful) and lovely.
Ricky - This is the 3rd video of yours that I watched in 24 hours. I've learned more about the notes on the fretboard in those 24 hours than I've learned since my first lesson in 1978. I saw the BEADGCF video a few years back and couldn't find it until now. Thanks. I wish I wasn't 3750 miles from Huddlersfield.
Well friend, I'll be turning 70 this year and I'm beginning to find out your never to old to learn more. Sure glad I found Ricky, I've learned a lot. His book should be in my mailbox this Friday, can't wait. Happy picken. 🎸
This was one of the most helpful music ideas/lessons ever. Going through the notes backwards was always one of the most challenging things when I was trying to learn (and gave up) as a kid. Wish someone had broken it down like this then- Awesome stuff!
i just bought the book! I am getting a lot from the shapes and patterns ideas. I have for the most part memorized the fretboard but never felt like I know the fret board... and there is a difference. thanks Ricky!
I learnt guitar almost 15 plus years, went through some private music classes, joined music club while I was in university, went for the School of Rock certification but to no avail still not able to memorize the notes on the fretboard. But you sir, you just taught me how to do it EFFECTIVELY. That late Charles's father coupled with A team being spotted by that american boy, all the way to Aeolian, Phrygian and Dorian, just unlocked my fretboard!! Thank you teacher, from the bottom of my heart
After 40-yrs on keyboard, I’m entering the guitar world. For me, this lesson is highly effective. At my age now, I’m primarily interested in smooth jazz, country and some blues. But Ricky helped me understand that learning the fretboard is not just a tedious task, but the key to unlocking creativity on the guitar-New subscriber. Peace.
Ok. I've subscribed. You've just helped me see the frett board like I've never have before. I've had trouble trying to remember the notes. Even bought some stickers to place on the fretts. Hahaha!
Ricky new subscriber here. Long time self taught guitar player. Man you have open my mind and have unlocked so much for me it's incredible. I can't thank you enough for your videos.
thank you for this, ricky. breaking it all down into 3 chunks to memorize is a game-changer! i am finally making progress. why isn't it always taught this way?! you rock. cheers!
Incredible! Not only fretboard unlocked but teaching unlocked! Thanks for all your hard work, passion for the guitar, passion for teaching and the amazing insight you share with us. Brilliant!
Hi Ricky I’ve been scouring the internet for ten years plus looking for someone like you,and guess what I found you less then ten miles away. I’ve tried them all.I recon I’ve learned more off you in 2hours then all the others put together. Keep up the good work TONY from HALIFAX. CHEERS MATE
Great tutorial Ricky demystifyimg the fret board. Helped me enormously. Bless you. Too far to come to Huddesfield I would have liked to join your school.
Just to throw in here something I've been doing, is using the metronome with learning the fret board. Setting the metronome to 4/4, and hitting each note four times on the beat.. while playing scales (or something like it LOL). I can practice different beats this way, too. This gives me a chance to error correct and adjust with the fingers and pluck before the next note. I remembered this technique when learning the violin in school for a few months when I was 8.. Came in handy then, and is working for me now.
I love this Benjamin! I did a video a while back that I never published about learning scales. Try this for more homework: as well as playing each note 4 times, work on it as a rhythm pyramid by playing the note twice per beat and then once per beat. Once the muscle memory kicks in on the singles it’s time to up the tempo in increments of 10bpm. Keep going until it fails. Write what bpm it fails. Do that as part of your practice routine. It’s astounding to see how much faster your “break” speed is after a few weeks of doing this!
@@rickysguitar Thank you. As my error rate drops, I'll switch to fewer notes. I was going to go 3 then 2 then 1, and yet I like your idea of 2 then 1. Right now bpm is set at 127. I started at about 60bpm. My stretch target is 260 after a little warm up. Since I've reached my minimum goal of 120bpm, that of average songs and the song I'm learning, I'm starting to learn "the 10 Chords Every Beginner Guitar Player Should Begin With" (from your worksheet) and adding a couple to get all the ones in my target first song.
I never thought how I could make learning the fret board easy, always thought it was beyond me. After watching this video and how to learn the notes backwards and the three positions it has simplified it for me. Thank you Ricky.
Wow Ricky! I can’t tell you how may times I’ve watched your videos over coffee in the morning, and couldn’t wait to grab my guitar afterwards! I’ve watched your other videos about fretboard navigation, and albeit they’re all very good - this is the best one! I found the best way to learn, is by playing, but I found there are gaps in the information. It may be my instructor hadn’t covered it, or I just didn’t grasp it on the first time around. Your videos (and book) have been a wonderful resource for me. This video helped out in a big way! 🎉
G is the lonely gangster without a crew. The lonely G!! Love it man. Using everything including Charles father. Learning my way day by day. Up to the 7th fret with instant recognition. Been three days. Got my first guitar yesterday. The strumming and picking is a different story. Feels very akward!
Love, Love, Love your content! Bought your book etc... You seem extremely genuine, to the point and cover multiple learning methods that combine to form some really great ways to learn the fretboard and the guitar as a whole. I have learnt quicker watching you for 2 weeks, and practicing of course, than I have in 2 years. I live in a rural area of South Australia so its hard to find good (in person) teachers easily.. Yay for the internet and Ricky Comiskey! thanks again form Aus...
Wow I watched this a yr ago!Its weird how u suddenly bumped into a lesson u watched when u just started guitar and how much u have learnt and little reminders like this fits into ya guitar puzzle ya creating on ya guitar journey Right I’m off the feds r coming come on Mr T run bring ya jewellery with ya
I love the use of BA in the story to help remember the alphabet backwards. I definitely remember BA, and it has helped me to “know” it backwards, thanks so much for sharing!
Ricky, only just found you, Your teaching method for the fret board is brilliant. Im fairly new to guitar and ive always had this thought. How am i going to remember the entire fretboard. This method just opened the door for me. Thanks mate. Love it.
I just love the way you teach Ricky - thank you so much - love the G Fed trick !. I am very much a "pattern" person, and with your help am starting to see,,-- with this and also Down Goes Charles Farther...thank you .
Ricky thank you for breaking that down or as you say chunking. I did the the pentatonic in the modes after yo pointed them out. I will be watching for future videos.
I have been playing guitar for years, and I confess I never learned the notes on the fretboard. Now I understand why I should have, long ago--along with learning what notes are in the chords I play. I thought Ricky's comment about learning the musical alphabet forwards AND backwards was one of the many takeaways from this lesson, as was his diagram breaking the fretboard into three zones to make this "alphabet" knowledge more instantly useful. Very helpful, and I look forward to using this new insight.
Ricky, I'm amazed! Your silly story connected with my silly brain, and I made huge progress. Breaking this into "bite" sized chunks made the connection for me. THANK YOU!!! Also, your cap is a great aid when I am looking for this video! :-)
Armed with the info from “Charles’ father”, this video enhanced my navigating the fretboard! Thanks a bunch, Ricky! Didn’t realize watching all those A-team episodes would ever pay dividends, hahaha !
Hello Ricky, I have come across a lot of You Tube videos on learning to play guitar But, I can honestly say that your methods have really helped me. I have learned a lot from your (Small Chuck) approach, the PDA downloads, and the way you are able to simplify the lessons..
Cheers Ricky for another brilliant lesson. I'm just down the road in the Peoples Republic of Barnsley, so chuffed to find a fellow Yorkshireman making awesome guitar lesson content :-)
WHY aren't more guitar instructors teaching this, Ricky??? I mean I've taken lessons from numerous guitar instructors over the years and picked the brains of guys who like you know the fretboard inside out YET not one of those 'cads' (said lovingly mind you) ever thought to present the fretboard in this manner! Yet in an online 30 minute video you've covered the whole note tones for the entire fretboard in one.... fell.... axe wing. Good show and thank you so much for this and the other logical fretboard videos. They've helped me. :)
Man from Hudddersfield, (just East of that famous split in the M62), this is so straight foreward! never never never, thought about this way before? Well done that Yorkshire man!.
Thanks for doin this, the way you teach is so inspiring and fun also. I just started as a keyboard player with the e guitar. And following all your vids, please keep more stuff up for beginners. I find stretching hands fingers, arms warming up in general before playing also a very important.
Similarly, years ago I started memorizing my musical staff spelling from the top of the Treble Clef going in reverse order with FED, C, BAG ; FED, C, BAG etc. I like your breakdown on the fret board. Thanks.
Excellent explanation. I'm currently learning the modes of the major scale, so very timely information. I've put off learning the individual notes on the fret board for far too long. I knew there must be a way to make the patterns of notes easier to remember. 🎸🤘
This is great! I like new ways of looking at things about the guitar. (I watched the “Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles’ Father” lesson some time ago.)
Great way of memorizing. Just another nmemonic I noticed. The first section is Phrygian and you started with an F, kind of like Ph. Then the second area was Aeolian and you started with the A note and the last section was Dorian and you started with a D. This helps me remember the zones. And thanks for the nmemonic of Gee FED BCA. This is very helpful just like the 5th Root 3rd. 5R3. Thanks again.

This is the best instruction I've found on learning the fretboard, thanks, Ricky.
Definitely a great way of passing his knowledge, even for us older newbies. Thanks Ricky! 👏🏻
I really, really like Ricky's down-to-earth, common sense approach to teaching the guitar. Bravo Ricky!
I really appreciate your perspective. It resonates with me. Born in the UK, but an Aussie now in Canberra ACT - the Nations Capital. Thank you soooo much.
I've learned more in two of your videos than I have in years. Thank you so much for your excellent training techniques.

Man from Hudddersfield, (just East of that famous split in the M62), this is so straight foreward! never never never, thought about this way before? Well done that Yorkshire man!.
Eyup! Another Huddersfudlian here!
Thank you for making the fretboard less intimidating for me. I think that I CAN memorize it now.
You CAN! Fight for it! Put the work in and you will WIN!
Excellent lesson
You are much appreciated!
wow! Excellent lesson Ricky! Very valuable 👍🏽👍🏻🎶👌🏽😊.

Wished I had encountered your teaching earlier in my guitar journey
Your a superb teacher...thanks bud!! Such a big help
You literally just unlocked my brain 😆. Thank you
Absolutely delightful video.....extremely helpful......Kudos.....from Manhattan, New York City.
Thanks so muck you are excellent instructor with new beginner thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!
Indeed you are so good. Thanks a lot for uoir video
Thanks for doin this, the way you teach is so inspiring and fun also. I just started as a keyboard player with the e guitar. And following all your vids, please keep more stuff up for beginners. I find stretching hands fingers, arms warming up in general before playing also a very important.
Very good video! There was no fluff in it at all. Excellent.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting Jack :)
Thanks Tarzan for your directions out of the jungle! 👀
Similarly, years ago I started memorizing my musical staff spelling from the top of the Treble Clef going in reverse order with FED, C, BAG ; FED, C, BAG etc. I like your breakdown on the fret board. Thanks.
Thanks Ricky, tapping into strategies to remember through association.
Excellent explanation. I'm currently learning the modes of the major scale, so very timely information. I've put off learning the individual notes on the fret board for far too long. I knew there must be a way to make the patterns of notes easier to remember. 🎸🤘
Ricky - you’re a legend!!!
Good job. Very clear and understandable I thought. Cheers
This is great! I like new ways of looking at things about the guitar. (I watched the “Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles’ Father” lesson some time ago.)
Thank you so much for this video just what I was looking for you made it so easy to learn so appreciate it
This video gave me my aha! moment!!! Thanks for the great content!
Super stoked to hear that Reggie! Thanks for watching :)
Great way of memorizing. Just another nmemonic I noticed. The first section is Phrygian and you started with an F, kind of like Ph. Then the second area was Aeolian and you started with the A note and the last section was Dorian and you started with a D. This helps me remember the zones. And thanks for the nmemonic of Gee FED BCA. This is very helpful just like the 5th Root 3rd. 5R3. Thanks again.
