Legit just learned more about the fretboard in 8:27 than I have in the 12 years I’ve played. This just unlocked so much for me - as a player that has been stagnate in terms of skill for 8 years
You always teach so well. One of the few things that I did right in my early guitaring was learning the entire neck. Sadly I had no idea what I was doing. But now that I know theory, I'm real glad that I learned the whole fretboard 3 decades ago.
Great lesson Chris. Linear playing certainly opens things up. I suppose an analogy would be like a high school chemistry lesson on Carbon which can exist in two states called allotropes. One is graphite which exists when the items are stacked in a particular way. If you rearrange the atomic stacking, you get diamonds !
Sometimes I get in my head about doing too many videos, then I realize that I'm retaining everything and just not used to learning so much so easily. Keep it up Chris
Saw your interview with Marty! I could certainly tell I would benefit from watching you! Loved the tip on the Billy Gibbons exercise. I need to find someone like you in Dallas!
So glad I found your channel. Subbed and joined your Patreon as your teaching style and very approachable theory "deep dives " already reaping benefits. I was taught to use CAGED to not only learn the fretboard, but to connect pentatonic scales and also to find chord tone notes. I haven't been through your whole library 😁 but haven't seen you refer to CAGED much. I would be interested in what you thought about using CAGED as a fundamental framework like this ....thx again for taking the time to put this great learning option available
Hey there! Welcome and thanks SO much for subbing and joining Patreon! For me "CAGED" is simply a marketing term for learning how to see triads and scales together. But as a holistic study it's very good. My only hesitation for referring to CAGED is that it sounds like something else, when in reality, its just learning triads and scales 😎...so I actually teach all this stuff already but I just don't call it something new I guess.
So the 5 box patterns of the pentatonic scale are actually modes? The major scale has 7modes right? But the penta only can have 5,so what happened to the other 2 that the major has or which ones are dropped off ie mixolydian,locrian???
So interesting. It helps me break down what I know. Really good. And which Judas Priest song? Freewheel Burning comes to mind but I don’t know why. I love them
Chris, thanks so much for making these videos! They're super clear and helpful with basics that I should have learned years ago. Please keep them coming!
I cannot express how much this helped me. I don't need to think so hard about "what's the next pattern? what note is this?" such an amazing breakdown of the scale. Do you have an email for contact?
Of course. But when the vertical patterns begin to get stale a new point of view often inspires serious growth on the instrument. Thanks for the comment!
OMG Chris I think I have this kind of figured out ,omg no not this leason! well this stuff your teaching ,omg! i am blowing my own mind on guitar ,omg i could kiss you ,thank you thank you thank you ... jen🦋

Wow, that’s fantastic Charles! So glad this is helpful!
Coming to you from Marty Music - like the emphasis on theory
Glad you're getting something out of the channel Jason!
The best teacher ever... Concise. Clear and articulate.
Nice idea. "trot that puppy out" - well, now you have the confidence, so, yes. Plus, I like the JUG on the green strat. :)
Did anyone else notice this exercise spells CAGED CAGED CAGED CAGED ? Cool idea for a lick, eh?
More Gold thank you. I'm enjoying going all the way to the end of the fretboard.
You always teach so well.

Which Priest tune is this lick from, Chris?

That's a great comment Jake, thanks a ton!
awesome dude !!...very frateful for this great game-changer video. many THANX. !!
You bet!
I played for years just memorizing patterns without knowing why they worked. Thanks for the lesson; it’s one of your best.
Ahhh, thanks Kevin. I'm glad this one landed well for you...and thanks for the views and comments.

David Huey I used to live in Ft Worth!!! Thanks for taking a look at the channel, I’m hopeful you find these ideas useful!
Is this guy playing a character? He's hilarious. "I got this off a Judas Priest record".
Nope, that’s actually me. Glad you enjoyed the video! At least it made you laugh!!
This is the stuff!
İt does help

This video explains why that is: th-cam.com/video/Y5bN2ddUIQI/w-d-xo.html
Chris, when you say modes ( e.g., 6:42), is this a different usage of the term than is used to name Ionian, Lydian, etc., modes?
Sort of. The modes can be seen as “positions” of the major scale with the roots based on the E string. That’s what I’m referring to there.

Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge. I love it! Just subscribed to your channel. keep it up.
Thanks for the sub!
He such an advanced teacher but managers to keep it so beginners can understand his extensive experience.
I appreciate that, Yudi, thanks. I'm glad you're enjoying the channel!

I so love JP!! Especially the earlier stuff… although Flamethrower is so damned good!!
@@curiousguitarist totally agree. I’ve seen them 3 times. Rob Halford sounds as great as ever
Great lesson, thanks for making it!
You bet, Jason!
Great.Thank you.It's like a sitar approach.Well, on two strings instead of one .
Love that Ripley kind of colour guitar too !
Killer info man!🍺
Thanks Rick! Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice video ..

I love learning from you! Thanks Again - Pure Gold!
You bet Chuck!
COOL LESSON, cool shirt!
Yeah...you know me! Did you watch Andor yet?
@@curiousguitarist of course, Kenobi was better. Tales of the Jedi the BEST!
Very instructive. This deserves way more views. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub TractorMonkey! Welcome to the channel.
Loving your lessons! Beautifully explained usable instruction. Thanks from NZ 🙏🏼
Thanks Tim! Glad you're enjoying these...more on the way!
Thanks Chris, You are not only a super great guitarist, but you are also uniquely a great teacher. You are my goto TH-cam channel.
That’s so great to hear, thank you! I’m glad you’re here!
Cool concept! Really helpful for getting out of box. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed this one Vaughn!
I really dig your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make this! You're super helpful and professional
Wow, thanks George, that is much appreciated. Welcome to the channel.
Chris, thanks so much for making these videos! They're super clear and helpful with basics that I should have learned years ago. Please keep them coming!
Glad you like them Bevan! More on the way!
I just figured this one out, after thinking about it with my new knowledge from the phrasing video. Boom!
Love that Jon! Nice tying these together!

Chris, thanks for the great lesson! Just found your channel, can’t wait to dig into all your other videos!
Good to have you here Jim!
Why not just learn the rest of the patterns? It's easy, they all link together.
Of course. But when the vertical patterns begin to get stale a new point of view often inspires serious growth on the instrument.
Thanks for the comment!
Ive been teaching this for years i have diagrams and all related materials !
Sweet!!
Hey Chris, thanks so much. Never thought of changing perspectives on that. Makes life so much easier.
Isn’t it cool to look at something familiar from a new viewpoint?
Thanks for being here!
@@curiousguitarist Indeed, it is, bro!
Yes this certainly helps, thanks Chris.
Happy to help James, anything we can do to get more mileage out of what we already know keeps the fires stoked!
Thanks, great lesson!
You bet!
Great lesson thanks.
You bet, thanks for the view and comment!
gets my sub but wish was a tad slower but hey not the brightest
I was trying to get the video under 15 minutes :)
At least you can play it again!
Thanks so much for the sub !
Lol all good man I’m just got slow fingers don’t like to learn but you are right #inmywatchlater
@@1spaceman604 You can slow it down too, just use the playback controls.
OMG Chris I think I have this kind of figured out ,omg no not this leason! well this stuff your teaching ,omg! i am blowing my own mind on guitar ,omg i could kiss you ,thank you thank you thank you ...

I was wondering when that light would flicker on for you Jen. Honored that it's happening here.
@@curiousguitarist Thank you for having faith in me ,now if I could only focus ,,oh wait these aren't my readers ,oh never mind ,,haha
