This is probably the most intuitive note layout I've ever seen. I learned something today and I've been playing guitar off and on for 35 years. Cheers!
As someone who has 0 guitar theory knowledge this pattern started appearing in my head like a month ago after i had struggle with some finger placement for chords. I have noticed same notes were appearing on other strings so i am able to play them differently. And now here we are on this video making everything logical.
I am going to chunk my neck memorization for my next lessons. I am going to draw out my a,b,c and just get them down to memory. Thanks so much for making this easier for me. Grateful
It never seems to amaze me about how much information lays in plain sight on the guitar but you never see it…until now! Finally spelling chords/triads just got a whole lot easier…Thank You So Very Much! 🎸🔊🎶🤘✌️❤️🤟
So VERY useful Ricky! Thanks so much I can now see the fret-board is a continuous fashion from one string to the next!! 😀 You always have stuff I need ...
this is gold, after watching this video half way through I started to do it, makming 1 or 2 mistakes through but its starting to stick, thank you I am a firm believer anyone can learn anything you just got to find the right method for you.
You are amazing teacher mate.! Been playing four years and in that time the last two weeks of watching your Theory is sank in! Wow! Thanks so much keep up the great videos mate
Every now and then i find something on you tube that explains something so well, so seemingly simply, that you can't help but grow from the experience of watching it. This is such a video. I feel slightly daft that i've never fully grasped this theory side of guitar playing. And, voila, along comes Ricky and shines a light so bright onto the subject matter that i now see it in an absorbable way. Thank you Ricky. Great job.
Maestro every lesson you have is done so well, you break it down so orderly that looks so simple, there are no words to say thank you for sharing your knowledge and time.
I’ve been doing this 20 years, and even taught it, but I love his color-coordinated approach. Subscribed and will be recommending your materials to students.
Wow! Since starting with my first guitar nearly eighteen years ago I have watched DOZENS of tutorials and chords /tabs diagrams which only made me more confused, beginning with ponderous"old-school" music-lesson manuals teaching one note at a time and "modes" which to this day, are STILL Greek to me. But THIS is FAR and AWAY the most useful eye-opening revelation of basic fretboard setup ever seen. A big THANK YOU and WHERE do I sign?
Hi Ricky. Great video. I took it one step further. I learned where the A-BC chunks were and then I randomly plucked a string and looking at the fretboard found A-BC. My next step was to randomly pluck a string without looking at the fretboard and finding A-BC. I learned to recognize the sound of each open string and found A-BC without looking at the fretboard. I will proceed the EF-G next.
Sometimes when I watch stuff like this trying to learn something, it turns out I already do what’s being taught only I have my own way of doing it. While trying to pick up what’s in the video I get frustrated, but then realize, hey I actually already know this. The first lesson my old man gave me was power chords on the bottom strings and the root notes that coincide. Just from that I was able to learn the notes.
Good lad Ricky have been trying for years to sort this but with you and your daft little marker pen have sorted it for me bestinformation I have ever had Why did I not find this out earlier so simple Well done
Been trying to learn the guitar unsuccessfully for eternity after watching your videos Ricky now understanding more had my head in many many books and no one to jam along with.
This was the most important video I have come across during a year of serious practicing and learning. This was the one that just broke me through! Thank you! You are a legend!
The human brain is a damaged good. These little tricks help it to function like it once did in spite of the damage. I am a human and I love these tricks. Thanks
I've watched over a dozen videos and literally was getting the sad's. Then,there it was. I looked up athe time and within 3:30 Into your video I had comprehended something. 3/4 of the way I'm grateful you kepthe sharp and flat stuff out. There's chunks all over my guitar now. By the wayou forgetoo highlight the A. That's proof righthere thathis guitar (w/a built in speaker) is gonna eventually play some Iron Maiden This video is the one that saved my relationship with my guitar.Thanks.
This is awesome. I love the way you break things down in such detail it's great. Those little video snippets from movies are nice little quips that help with remembering too. It's fantastic
thanks man! This was super helpful to me!! i learn better with patterns that are color coded. trying to learn to play music without color for me, is like trying to learn too much math at once and i get anxious and retreat. But i k now that i know how to play music i just need help with the maths. This video was very informative and really beneficial. It was really kind of you to share it for free. Thank you!
The b string is a full line of the doremi scale. Then you can deduce the high e string from that. You know the c scale (pref you know it repeats to the high e but anyway) it starts on the a string, so if you know that, you know where the notes are from A string to high E string. Then finally the low e string 0=E then first fret is F and then you have another full set of doremi scale or C major scale if you will. Anyway, ive played guitar since 1992 and knowing where all theese notes are have never been something I needed to know. Whats better is after you know the basics of the chords, learn as much of the triads all over the neck, how they fit together. And the pentatonic boxes are also a nice puzzle to learn. The caged system is neat. Basic music theory is not hard to grasp. But what is the most neat is learning the songs you like to play, steal as much as you can from them, make youre own songs and enjoy playing the beautiful instrument that is guitar. Its fun for a whole lifetime.
Wow!!! Thank you for this video. It really jumps out at you when you show us!!! How simple it is, just like you said. I’ve never seen the patterns before; great stuff! I’m subscribing too & will pass it along!!! 🇺🇸
Rick yesterday I sat down I drew the fretboard like you did. It helped me see it better. I have never been able to do triads up and down the fretboard. Thank you love the way you teach. I play only open chords. 😢
True but I would just call it the octave pattern it’s nothing to do with caged. That system has the octave pattern in it but that because it’s built on the reality of how the fretboard IS
I can't believe I never saw this! Explains the pentatonic patterns without fail! Also note that BEADGCF is in the circle of fifths......that's also all over the fretboard. That's aways helped me but not nearly as helpful as this! It will definitely change the way I look at the fretboard

I'm Spanish, I don't understand anything you're saying haha... but I think this way of learning the notes is brilliant, just by seeing the patterns with their colors and memorizing how these patterns repeat, you can find the notes on the neck easily... thank you!!
discovered this yesterday put review on this is the best video I have ever watched ,can not believe I could not find this before I can not stop playing it .Must stop now going to watch Boro play QPR
this actually makes sense to me why a lot of guitarist are having a hard time to play C scale solo lead because how the strings are forming on that part, and also why a lot of guitarist loves to compose music in A, G, D scale.
I memorized this using my dialect, nonetheless once I’m locating my fingers on the fretboard it’d take time. Thanks so much for sharing systemic way of memorizing.
excellent content! I wish I could get the fretboard you use for my own studio. How did you do it? Could you share the file with me? greetings and thank you very much for your content🎉
Three fours are 12, on the A string this simple pattern takes you from the nut to the 12th fret where it all repeats again. Brilliant, i must get the old guitar out and get this into my playing. Use it or lose it. Theory is just theory, its forgettable until its practiced and put to good use.
Wow am I glad that I stumbled across this video explaining it o_o I'm a bass player that started one year ago and this pattern never occured to me, it's so helpful!
This is probably the most intuitive note layout I've ever seen. I learned something today and I've been playing guitar off and on for 35 years. Cheers!
You are the BEST teacher I have been playing guitar over 20 years and your explanation is the absolute easiest and best!!! Thank you!!!
I wish someone had shown me this years ago when I bought my first guitar. Sure makes it simple, straight forward, and logical.
It should come in the case.
As someone who has 0 guitar theory knowledge this pattern started appearing in my head like a month ago after i had struggle with some finger placement for chords. I have noticed same notes were appearing on other strings so i am able to play them differently. And now here we are on this video making everything logical.
Yeah, me too..
I am going to chunk my neck memorization for my next lessons. I am going to draw out my a,b,c and just get them down to memory. Thanks so much for making this easier for me. Grateful
You're one of the best instructors iv ever come across. You simplify complex things so most folks can "get it". Thanks for your hard work!
Best way I’ve ever been taught this.
Thanks
Thanks Pauline, really appreciate your support. Ricky
I cannot believe I just learned the entire fretboard in 9 mins. Seriously! Such a great video! Thank you so much!
Thanks!
Thank you Rob, super appreciate this. Ricky
It never seems to amaze me about how much information lays in plain sight on the guitar but you never see it…until now!
Finally spelling chords/triads just got a whole lot easier…Thank You So Very Much!
🎸🔊🎶🤘✌️❤️🤟
OMG ! You have shown me the light. Thank you for this. The KISS method does it again. I am so glad I ran into this. Brilliant !
So VERY useful Ricky! Thanks so much I can now see the fret-board is a continuous fashion from one string to the next!! 😀 You always have stuff I need ...
This is a brilliant way to present it. I seen so many videos on this topic but this video made it click and gave me and aha moment. Thank you so much
This is brilliant! I've pretty much learnt all the notes on the fretboard but this has just sped up my navigation of the notes.
Great lesson, thanks!
this is gold, after watching this video half way through I started to do it, makming 1 or 2 mistakes through but its starting to stick, thank you I am a firm believer anyone can learn anything you just got to find the right method for you.
This DEFINITELY makes it SIMPLE. Congratulations. Thank you!!!

I'm glad I found this video, it finally makes sense how to find the key on the fretboard. I can't wait to practice this, it made it click finally.
Amazing!! You simplified it so that it makes it easy to understand. Great Job.
For years, the fretboard has been such a mystery. Thanks for the video! I think I can finally start to move on to try to progress my skill level.
Wow- love this video! Very well explained. Thank you for taking the time to help others. 🙏👍

Thanks! Fucking BRILLIANT!! It’s a eureka moment. I’m running naked through the streets happy
Thanks John! hahaha!
Thank u for this... Appreciated more than u know. You just freed me from scales. Wow..

Thank you for your explanation, it has been of great help to me.
Awesome vid mate.
This explained it so much better, 1000 times easier to understand. Thanks a million👍

Coming back to understand this better.
By far the easiest method I've found. Thank you!

You sir have just blown my mind 🤯 thank you

As a newbie your talking my language, a well explained video I can understand 10/10
Amazing, wonderful teaching method!
Thank you so much for your help. You made that so much easier to understand. It will be easier to find out and to play. You're a blessing
Brilliant. And extremely useful and usable. Thanks!
Notice that looking at the green G's, we get the CAGED octaves pattern. That's an additional navigational aid!
This allows fast recognition of G as a road sign which allows for immidiae realization of the patterns above and below!!!😊
True but I would just call it the octave pattern it’s nothing to do with caged. That system has the octave pattern in it but that because it’s built on the reality of how the fretboard IS
Wow😮absolutely very easy to remember 😊 on of the brilliant video ❤
Thanks for the lesson cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Great Info Man (extremely Annoying production). This helps Thank you, 👍🏻
Brilliant. Very well explained. Thank you.
That was an excellent teaching video. Thank you so much.
Best way I’ve seen. Thank you!

What a brilliant video. I wish I would have come across this brilliant explanation when I first started playing guitar. Thank you 😎👍
Thanks dude this has got to be the easiest for me up under stand yet
discovered this yesterday put review on this is the best video I have ever watched ,can not believe I could not find this before I can not stop playing it .Must stop now going to watch Boro play QPR
great funny presentation. you are a guitar master Ricky
Fretboard Looks so complicated ..but for da very frst time im quite understood and makes it so simple to memorize
This was very helpful-thank you.
That really was amazing and makes perfect sense
Thankyou so much, that was excellent! Just excellent.
100% agree with HolidayDoc44 !!!!! SO FREAKING SIMPLE !!!!!
Amazeballs!! Thank you!!
this actually makes sense to me why a lot of guitarist are having a hard time to play C scale solo lead because how the strings are forming on that part, and also why a lot of guitarist loves to compose music in A, G, D scale.
Thank you, now I know something to start
Great lesson
excellent you made it easeee.thank you.,,,best wishes
Funny this had just started clicking for me. Great lesson. It all starts with knowing the 'A's.... Oh G's crew can be DGC renegades 😃
Light bulbs going off in my head. Thank you!
Can you start applying this right away? Maybe create some licks from it? Just to make memorizing it fun
I memorized this using my dialect, nonetheless once I’m locating my fingers on the fretboard it’d take time. Thanks so much for sharing systemic way of memorizing.
The best video I ever watched
Excellent, I´m now a member.
Great content. Never thought about chunking it up. 🎉😊
excellent content!
I wish I could get the fretboard you use for my own studio. How did you do it? Could you share the file with me? greetings and thank you very much for your content🎉
Very good lessons.
Another great informative video. I like the creative way you tutor. Many thanks.

Good information; I couldn't open the the PDF I was hoping to get though
I just tested the PDF and it downloaded perfectly. Maybe try another browser?
@@rickysguitar thanks I will try
Great help - thanks!
Wow am I glad that I stumbled across this video explaining it o_o I'm a bass player that started one year ago and this pattern never occured to me, it's so helpful!
thank you for this!
I love your book!
Thank you for your great and helpful explanation. Masterclass :)
I love this!
Thank you Ricky.
Rick😅y don't you have a book on circle of 3rds and where can I buy it ? Do you ship to the states ?
Great explanation... Subbed to find out more!
Super helpful!
