@@vandyman9957 Sweet! Hope they're enjoying themselves. Saving up for very lengthy and long overdue vacation myself with only a flip phone in the off chance of an emergency or something. Thanks for the info and taking the generous time to do so, Vandyman. Hope all this well, rock on!
Played guitar for YEARS...never learned the notes on the fretboard. Just enjoyed playing but always felt (knew) that I missing a BIG part in my playing advancement. Learned the piano by studying music theory (just the basics)...so this video was a HUGE encouragement!! A few BASIC scales (A, C, D, etc) and a run-through concerning fretboard note locations/ familiarization would be EXTREMELY helpful. THANKS! I always enjoy your videos!
For a long time I played in bands only knowing cowboy chords, barres, and little riffs that turned out to be triads. I knew the low E and A strings for chord roots. I started by playing both your 5 minute practice every day, usually for 20 minutes. I learned the Fretboard decoder. All the topics in today's video are addressed in those lessons. Just applying that to what I already knew has made a world of difference in a year and a half. Thanks! I'm working on it.
There are no shortcuts, unless you're born a musical savant, and even then the physical attributes required to play technically are a learning process that takes time. I picked up the guitar at 12 and have never looked back. I'm 54 now and was always a sporadic practicer and as a result I was never able to achieve what inspired me. Now with all the time to spend playing 2 to 4 hrs a day I find I can do pretty much whatever I want to technically, and I'm pairing that with the theory I started learning in school. Robert, thank you for your videos and generosity as I have learned considerably from them, for nothing. TH-cam is doing you right by the looks of your collection lol. You deserve it.
Come on don't ever apologize about your intros. Or anything you play. We are mostly lesser guitar players compared to you. Most of the stuff we come up with is probably not so good and/or unoriginal. And every once in a while we come up with something that really feels great, then we forget it. Putting these little bits in the intros is just the right place for them. Of course not all of them will be the same amount of legendarity.
clearly your very good. ive been playing a long time, know the major scale, major and minor pentatonics, the neck and where the notes are, triads, modes, and yet i feel im still missing something. just when i think i finally get it i find something that doesn't fit with what i know at all. so watching these type videos hoping something clicks, subscribed as i have a feeling i can learn a lot from you.
It's because it's TH-cam It's a one-sided conversation where you're hoping he's going to talk about something that's hindering you but it either never happens or it's always in the program you need to pay for and then if you pay most of the time it won't be in there either. I've struggled with chords up to the point where I'm just about to give up and go bsck to DJing because I can't find anyone here that can teach you how to do chords without an augmented trimester diminished 5th sustained third octave of the ninth integer and I'm yet to find that string or fret.
@@DJMerck if you can't play chords just forget it bro. That's basically the first thing everybody learns. Without them you're toast. Unless you want to be a pure lead guitarist. But that would be as wise as jumping into a race car without ever even driving a car in the first place! Good luck
I just got done learning the fret board and memorizing the dang thing.........BOMB.this IS what-Where I am on this ! your taking the 3 note/string moving your 3rd to the next string down n so forth I do NOT know this but I will figure it out........ "A major scale local to that IMMEDIATE position then get your shape from that (others calling it the CAGED).....I will use this wish I had a picture I assume it is the same for all the positions?.........Thank YOU RB.
Some of us though, can feel it. Theory is a hinderance. Playing from your heart, and not your head. Dude you are the exception. You are incredible. Your theory and heart are attached. In that, I got nuthin'.
Dang, that was some awesome riffing you did at the beginning, and the jam was great!! You really answered and clarified a lot of questions that I wonder about. Peace from Los Angeles ✌️ ☮️.
Yeah as someone who cant name each note on the frets but can positively shred. I wish I wouldve learned. I understand intervals and that's really all you "need" but it would be nice to know exactly what I'm playing sometimes.
7 years in and I was never taught to alternate pick. My teacher sort of snapped at me one day and asked why I wasn't alternate picking and I had no idea what he meant. I wonder how much else I missed out on
I was always envious of that. I switched to jazz picks that are really pointy and overnight my playing changed. Alternate picking became second nature and almost a joke to perform at speed. There is a lot more plastic to drag across a string with a rounded edge pick as opposed to a pointy jazz pick. I use the Dava red/black picks about 1.5mm thick.
I started playing piano after leaving my guitars alone in their cases and after 2 years, I realised guitar became a much more understandable and controllable instrument for me.
I took a piano and guitar class concurrently in college. Didn't wanna do it at first since I thought it would be really difficult to learn 2 instruments at the same time. Turns out they really go hand in hand with each other with just minor differences. Turned out to be the best decision I ever made.
When I took German in high school, I was immediately struck by how similar it was to English, but I was the only one in the class (besides the teacher) who heard Elizabethan English in it. Thee, as in "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day", came from Sie, meaning You. Thou shalt = Du sollst (You will). Since then, people who are fluent in other languages have told me the same thing. So have people who play two or more instruments. Legendary trans actress & musician Calpernia Addams plays more than a dozen. She started playing the violin at such a young age, she doesn't even remember when she did. I imagine she must have theory screwed down air-tight.
Yeah, I actually have no idea what you're ever talking about, I just know every time you play a major scale I hear Julie Andrews voice and picture a female deer and a drop of golden sun.
I would say learning notes on guitar is crucial. Just because it's fun. You play i,VI vII, strum the Am, F and then instead of G chord you play note. and you connect, not even on theory level. that G chords take name from the first note. so you can play it anywhere on the neck.
So Robert what do you thin is the best way to learn the notes on the whole fretboard,I'm new-ish player and having a really hard time to memorize them.
I would use octave and intervals to slowly piece the fretboard together, don't worry too much about being able to memorize every note, just memorize notes that you can use as reference notes to others and the muscle memory and memorization will kick in, memorize notes on the the E string is the best and from their piece the octaves together and than major 3rds and 5ths, and minor 3rds and 5ths, and keep going off intervals such as that, thats what worked for me, good luck :)
Also, it will probably take some time. I find it to be a circular thing, where I try to memorize the notes but without much other knowledge. Then learn other stuff, chords and scales, whatever, come back to memorizing notes again, now they stick better, then learn more stuff, then again actually concentrate on knowing the notes, and slowly but surely it will come. Don't get stuck on it. Learn other things, learn songs, don't worry about it too much. Revisit it every once in a while and you will get there.
Can you do a video on how to determine what pentatonic box to use based on on where the note is on the fretboard. How you knew to use box 1 when you played the 12 fret on the low E is where I get confused.
If you know box 1, it can be used at any point on the neck. He chose fret 12 because he knew the key was E (the open E chord he used). E is the 6th string open, the same E repeats at the 12th fret, one octave higher. He could have used box 1 in the open position too, he just went to the easiest or next logical spot, the 12th.. hope that makes sense.
The key to this is knowing where the root notes are in each box. You will see that box 1 has a root on the low E, that's how Robert knew to use that box.
Well, now I am confused again... Lol, no seriously this was a cool video, ugh so many ways to learn stuff lol. Do you know how difficult it is to try and memorize this stuff after you reach 50 year? lol.. now I am 55 and it isn't easier let me tell you that much. I play along to backing tracks of various genre's and I printed out the Pentatonic scales and have them taped to the wall in front of me so I can look at them while playing along to whatever it is I am playing along with. This has helped to learn the note placements on the fret board as well as to somewhat memorize some scales. But what's really fun is to play like 7 or 8 backing tracks that are all in like Bm and AMaj then suddenly hit one that's in A minor or D minor and then remember that 's it OK to play a g now lol. A few years ago I had come to the conclusion that I am a rhythm player and not a soloist, but as my playing has improved I have ventured into the solo territory. I am not a fast guitar player, due to hand issue, but I can play "OK" . I love the backing tracks because I am making the solo's up as I go along, so I am never wrong lol.
Ron Just Ron I can totally relate at 58 years young. Just started learning at 53. What a challenge especially when on the migraine meds I am on that cause some short term memory challenges. Lol
Good to see the older crowd. Literally just bought my "first" guitar at 51. (I did buy a Kramer Focus 3000 in '83 or '84 but didn't do much with it. Now I wish I had learned back then.)
@@mikefrighetto5368 Hello fellow almost a boomer lol. I missed being a boomer by one year but these youngsters insist on calling me one anyway lol. Yeah man, trying to do it now at this age and with these memories is tough huh? I really learn a lot from Robert, more than anyone else on YT and that's no lie! Sometimes it's nothing more than watching how he is picking a part or palm muting or just whatever ya know? I would watch my step dad play his GORGEOUS Gibson Hummingbird to groups like the Ventures or to some country song and it would just memorize me, but as I said in my original post, I was never able to take it seriously until I turned 48/49 and my kids were grown and I was making decent enough money I could finally afford the guitars I wanted. Anyway, hang in there Mike, us old guys will eventually figure out how to play these things lol.
I don't know the American notation, but I went to music school and for example the note A1 on the piano matches the fifth fret on the high E string of a guitar, but on guitar that note is A2, don't know why I'm mentioning it, I just always found it weird. I hope that makes at least some sense.
Thanks Robert. So how do you find a good teacher for intermediate level players? I've been playing guitar for 2.5 years and have solid basics but want to become a master player and learn 100 new metal songs end to end and techniques like sweep picking arpeggios and difficult songs and solos. I had a teacher who kept rehashing the same lesson of diatonic sequence scalar patterns and would not teach me new riffs, songs or licks.
Renaissance Man sweep picking is hard to tackle. I’m still learning. Tapping arpeggios are pretty simple when you get the hang of it. If you use the side of your pick to tap the right hand note, it should be louder. Boost your gain, use a compressor and delay if you need to.
The ability to not be able to navigate away from Theory has almost made me quit guitar several times. Every time im trying to learn something I gotta fight through theory stuff. It has definitely made me put the guitar up for weeks at a time thinking im stuck as more of a dj, and that makes me wanna give up on music. That BS was cool as a kid but not so much at 40...
I know most of my Pentatonix shapes but I got no clue where these twos and fours are! except the second fret in the fourth fret there's a 2 and a 4 there. Everything is a 5th, 4th or a 7th suspended 19th to 9/16 or 3/32 1/2 inch and 10 mm. all these quarters 8 and 16th I don't know if I'm playing an instrument or buying drugs... lol
I hate theory. Its the most difficult thing for me. Every time i think i understand something,someone comes along and explains it differently, and then im lost again. For me,its always two steps forward, three steps back. Ugh. Frustrating.
I know that feeling, it took me many years before I understood some of the things. My tip is find a real teacher that can explain things so you understand, then listen only to that person. The person has to be able to explain things with simple words. If you can't afford private lessons, look around TH-cam try to find someone that teach from beginner to advanced. Just watch some beginner videos without touching your guitar, ask yourself do I understand what this person is talking about. Then take it step by step, don't rush, watch the same video again if you have to
When I met my guitar teacher, I said to him: "F*ck theory, teach me how to set my fingers so I can play the songs I like most". It was so difficult that after some months I said to him: "OK then, lets start learning to play the guitar so I can play any song I want". It was so slowly and boring trying to memorize everything that months later I said to him: "I think the correct way to do it it's learning to play the guitar with my ears, so I can play whatever I've got in my head". A year and a half after I first met my teacher, here I am TRYING. And having fun.

I found I was having issues with timing until I started playing to backing tracks / metronome, it really helped get my rhythm in check.
Thanks for throwing in the great triad bits, I pickup up something every time you go back to the basics.
I really like that headstock. Very very clever and good looking design.
Perfect timing. I needed exactly this and was gonna start searching for these type of basics, and you just throw it at me like that. Thanks man!
Great stuff Robert--Always skipped over learning the notes on the fretboard but I will now!--Thanks for the lesson!

your jam track was very vitto brata loved it
7 years in and I was never taught to alternate pick. My teacher sort of snapped at me one day and asked why I wasn't alternate picking and I had no idea what he meant. I wonder how much else I missed out on
I was always envious of that. I switched to jazz picks that are really pointy and overnight my playing changed. Alternate picking became second nature and almost a joke to perform at speed. There is a lot more plastic to drag across a string with a rounded edge pick as opposed to a pointy jazz pick. I use the Dava red/black picks about 1.5mm thick.
The guitar sounds powerful without being too agressive, which is a quality i admired with the JHE, what is the mix??.
Nice stuff, thanx!
I wish i learned the boxed scales first,
Very cool man. Good info
You really inspired me to grab my axe again and even take your guitar course pack along the ride. I thank you sir!!
IMO, the best thing a guitar player can do is learn piano... I'm talking real 88 weighted keyboard..
I started playing piano after leaving my guitars alone in their cases and after 2 years, I realised guitar became a much more understandable and controllable instrument for me.
I realized that too
I took a piano and guitar class concurrently in college. Didn't wanna do it at first since I thought it would be really difficult to learn 2 instruments at the same time.

Greetings from NY! Excellent vid Robert, great advice here for the beginners. Enjoy the down time guitar brother! :)
Robert, I have a question... A couple years ago you won some stuff from Chappers. How long did it take you to receive them? Thanks!
The jam track was very Akira Takasaki-esque. Pretty cool.
Yeah, I actually have no idea what you're ever talking about, I just know every time you play a major scale I hear Julie Andrews voice and picture a female deer and a drop of golden sun.
Such a nice brown sound in your closing jam! What humbucker does that Strat have in the bridge?
Not 100% positive, but I'm fairly certain Friedman winds their own pups. I think u can get them aftermarket from Sweetwater.
Awesome. Like always

Another thing that helped me is to know the fret board repeats over and over infinitely. So learn frets 1-12. Then it repeats 12-24.
Also, it will probably take some time. I find it to be a circular thing, where I try to memorize the notes but without much other knowledge. Then learn other stuff, chords and scales, whatever, come back to memorizing notes again, now they stick better, then learn more stuff, then again actually concentrate on knowing the notes, and slowly but surely it will come.

all these quarters 8 and 16th I don't know if I'm playing an instrument or buying drugs... lol
@@DJMerck you crack me up DJ, that's funny.
@@wolverine3344 Im just stressed out. Lol
I hate theory. Its the most difficult thing for me. Every time i think i understand something,someone comes along and explains it differently, and then im lost again. For me,its always two steps forward, three steps back. Ugh. Frustrating.
I know that feeling, it took me many years before I understood some of the things. My tip is find a real teacher that can explain things so you understand, then listen only to that person. The person has to be able to explain things with simple words.
If you can't afford private lessons, look around TH-cam try to find someone that teach from beginner to advanced. Just watch some beginner videos without touching your guitar, ask yourself do I understand what this person is talking about. Then take it step by step, don't rush, watch the same video again if you have to
Thanks, I'll give it a whirl.😉
See end jam - Could never play in pos'n 1 hand would hit it
My head hurts
When I met my guitar teacher, I said to him: "F*ck theory, teach me how to set my fingers so I can play the songs I like most". It was so difficult that after some months I said to him: "OK then, lets start learning to play the guitar so I can play any song I want". It was so slowly and boring trying to memorize everything that months later I said to him: "I think the correct way to do it it's learning to play the guitar with my ears, so I can play whatever I've got in my head". A year and a half after I first met my teacher, here I am TRYING. And having fun.
For someone who’s parents didn’t put him/her in piano or violin lessons as a kid, this might as well be Greek.
