    Wil, merci! Mahalo! On my self-taught journey I've cobbled together a fundamental grasp of music theory as it applies to the guitar. Over the past four years, I've sponged up this knowledge from Zombie Guitar, Chris Sherland, and Guthrie Trapp, primarily, plus several others. Lately, I've been working on Charlie Long's triad and pentatonic exercises and Jack Ruch's dominant 7ths and blues licks tutorials. I understand how the cage system works and what intervals are, and my technique and capacity to apply these principles to the instrument have been advancing, albeit incrementally. Then I stumbled into your deep dive explanation of intervals. What stunning clarity! Somehow you seem to have touched on all the murky unanswered questions struggling to take shape in my mind. These are questions, that, of course, need to be answered for me to pick up the pace. The same can be said of the next one of your videos that I watched, your deep dive into the caged system. And now I'm about to rewatch this one on pentatonics. You do a terrific job of explaining the context in a linear way that answers many of the 'why' questions I have. Thank you, especially, for your tip about correlating the pentatonic patterns to the caged chord shapes, starting at the root (which can be on the D string, in the case of two of the shapes) instead of always struggling to reference sequential "boxes" that all start on the low E string. This is pure gold! Adopting this won't take long -- and I can see how mastering this alone will lead me to a higher tier. You've given me hope that, before all is said and done, I might even come to understand how to proactively apply modes -- something I had to this point, assumed, was unattainable. Thank you for your commitment to share your knowledge in such a thorough way -- for the greater good. It's admirable -- and greatly appreciated!

    Thank you, I have watched most of your videos now and they have helped me out of a 15 year rut of all the classic problems you explain for an intermediate guitarist. If I have some extra money around I will buy your books. Thank you for doing the longer videos I appreciate you man!

    You by far are the best teacher I’ve ever seen for music. I’ve been stuck on the plain for about 5 years now. Please don’t shorten these lessons up. Everyone does 15 to 30 minute videos but the way you explain not only the theory but how to use it just works so well. It’s helping me fill in the huge holes I’ve had and I’ve been playing for 15 years so I can only imagine what this does for beginners.

After being a vocalist all my life, I’ve been playing guitar for five years and I want to know everything because I’m going to be 70 years old. I don’t have all the Time in the world I am on a mission, I don’t want to be a good guitar player. I want to be a great guitar player and you are certainly helping.

    I have finally made it through the whole lesson. What a treat! You are so generous with your talent and teaching. I’m a Singer, who has been playing now for five years since retirement. I’m going to be 70 in February. I already knew all of the boxes which I learned as boxes of the major and minor pentatonic. I can play them backwards and forwards, and be kind of melodic with them. After this lesson I feel more in tune with the entire fretboard. I have progressed to the point where soloing with a major and minor pentatonic is not challenging for me anymore. I want to learn the whole fretboard and how to connect everything, and how to play better technically thanks again Guillaume. I will be awaiting further lessons when you put them up on you tube. Peace and Love Todd B.

    Average beginner; learn as much as you need to start playing as fast as possible, to sound as good as possible, move on to copy something flashy that sounds good as fast as possible, then repeat. Then in a few years we sound pretty good and never go back to these basics. This is eye-opening to look back at what I should have learned first, so many years ago. I needed this! Badly. I shared it with a friend who is presently in the studio recording the groups 2nd album. He said the same thing.

    Amazing! The importance of knowing exactly where you are in the fretboard its essential for playing gigs, where you may be surprised with a unknown song, or a take in a solo, i'd only add that learning where your intervals are will help a great way, finding the Major 3° on the fly, the Perfect 5th, making the relation between the interval position with the chords on fly does a lot into delivering your best performance!

    Great video Will. From personal experience, I know what you are saying. Knowing the 5 shapes of the minor pent (one after the other up the neck) and then learning the major shapes only as they are related to the minor shapes is like saying you know the English language because you know the alphabet from A to G. If you stop there because you don't have the perseverance to take it further, you are done - end of progress.
    That is why I am here - it only took a couple of minutes listening to what you had to say to know that you understand this common problem among us wannabe twang bangers. OK enough, I'm off to listen to the rest of your presentation hoping I can muster up the discipline to work at what you are saying. I'm tired of wading in the shallow water, I want to swim in the deep end. Thanks for making this effort for us.

    Brilliant info although it's slightly confronting to find its true, I am the guy stumbling around in a few box shapes. But this makes perfect sense. :) I have a lot of work to do but don't have unlimited free time to do it.

    WILL METZ, make a YT lesson when mixing shapes and cross shapes in each Box#1 thru Box#5. This is what Jerry Garcia would play using CAGED but also chord inversions. The CAGED system is just root position on the low E string or A string is the root note. Jerry Garcia would use 1st inversion CAGED and 2nd inversion CAGED system plus adding the pentatonic CAGED shapes to the pentatonic scales. You should make a 1st inversion CAGED which is when the bottom low E or low A is the 3rd scale degree and 2nd inversion CAGED is when the bottom low E note or low A note is the 5th scale degree to make YT lessons about.

    You are so darn cute ! Not hitting on you just stating a fact. Besides, you're too young for me anyway.
    I am thoroughly enjoying your videos. Trying to teach myself guitar ( and French ) at age 59. When I get really good I'll move to the French alps and play there ! A bien tot et merci! If I had lots of money I'd send you some....but I am not killing it driving a school bus. I am happy though. Thank you for teaching me something new every day. Never too old to learn something new

    In all my years of playing and singing, I never played lead, we usually had a "hired gun" or a great player. Now I'm old and all my guys are dead or disappeared. Recently I've met some new (old folks) and realized I'm the last guy standing but not dead yet!
    I'm working really hard on this pentatonic stuff .. Anyone like Freddie or Albert King or BB King? . Trouble is I'm a white guy. Stevie Ray said I'm really a black guy in a white body. R.I.P. Stevie Ray.

    At 0:41, you play two scales: A pentatonic minor and C pentatonic Major.
