Thank you for all of these videos. I have been struggling to find free music theory material within the context of guitar until I found your videos. You are an amazing teacher and these lessons couldn't be made any better. Thank you.
So, assuming your tonal center would be the 1st tone of each pattern, I guess these could also be used as a quick reference for modal playing purposes, right? Pattern 1, Ionian; Pattern 2, Dorian; etc.
hello, I've got a question. i understand how different patterns are made now, but how can you use those patterns? for example, if you play the second pattern of the Fmajor scale, you are also playing in G right? often if i play certain shapes, it sound like if the root is the first note you play (like the G note in my last example, instead of the F note, which is the 6th note in that shape) i hope you understand my question. Patrick.
Patrick I think if you keep watching the series your questions will all be answered. I dive deep into the Major Scale and Major Scale modes which relate to what you're asking. But you can always email me (chad@moveforwardguitar.com) and I can try to help you out. It would be much easier to go back and forth that way. Thanks again for all the comments! -Chad
So we change keys by shifting these patterns left and right? For example we could take pattern one and shift it two frets up the and we would then be playing the same pattern but this time it would be in the key of G. Do I understand this correctly?
Great lessons mate I’ll definitely finish the whole series, quick question though, I understand how the scale patterns connect up and down the fretboard but how would you do this without the scale in front of you and off the top of your head? Am I missing something or do you explain this further in the series, cheers.
Ashwin murali Yes they cover all the notes of a certain scale but only on a portion of the fretboard Hopefully these lessons help if that's unclear th-cam.com/video/Es4sVRU8tOE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/CCblc218XTI/w-d-xo.html Thanks! -Chad
Nice and Simple as things can be But just a question : do I need to know anything more about a scale after knowing its order (i mean the 2 wholes 1 half 3 wholes 1 half) ?
The next thing to learn are the scale patterns so you can get them under your fingers. Best place to start is probably the 5 CAGED patterns. Thanks! -Chad
Hey Chad, how's it going...thanks for this amazing series I have a question...in some patterns (2nd one for instance) the starting note is not f ( it's g in the second pattern) so how is it F major scale ?
its still F major because it has all the notes in the F major scale. the pattern just starts on the major second instead of the root and you can see that the red dots show you where the root (F) is in each pattern
I got a doubt ... In the 1st pattern 13 note have jumped to next fret because in that string perfect 4th is not coming ...... But we are not following that case in the 2nd ..3rd ... So on patterns ...y???
Hi Chad, I've got the basic patterns under my fingers now. now i'm practicing the long patterns that travel over the length of the neck (the ones in the e-guide) i have a question about the notes where you have to slide your hand up the fretboard to reach them. what finger should i use for the transition? (the finger you use to hit 2 notes in sequence) do different fingers have pros and cons? or is it just 100% personal prefference? do you have anything else to say about this? thanks a lot ^^
+Patrick When it comes to more random horizontal patterns you pretty much have to find what works best for you. There are so many options and everyone's hands are different. I recommend playing them really slowly and seeing what feels most comfortable. Then as you start to speed them up, see if your stumbling on any spots. If you are, see if using different fingers works better. Email me (chad@moveforwardguitar.com) if you'd like to to send some fingering options that I would use. Thanks! -Chad
I have learned a different major scale. The major scale i learned have the last pattern in yours as the first pattern. I recognize all your patterns except from the first one. All the others are the same, and its 5 different patterns i learned. Should i learn this one too? I can play the one i know pretty good both horizontal and vertical. It wouldnt be that much of a hazzle to learn this one too, its only the first pattern that are different. Its a little confusing, i know there are different modes and all, but everyone seem to use different major scales as the standard. Its similar to minor and major pentatonic. The minor pentatonic has the major pentatonics second pattern as its first.
It's totally cool to stick with the patterns you know. There are a lot of ways to play any scale. Biggest thing to make sure is that you eventually break free of patterns and see the scale up and down the whole fretboard. Thanks! -Chad
Chad thanks so much for this.. One thing.. I learned the major scales they taught us 5 positions, then start over and repeat.Every one of the 5 patterns looks TOTALLY different than the 7 you posted up! What is the deal, now it is confusing, can you shed some light, some info about this?
There are many ways to play the major scale. The 5 patterns are a really common and useful option. I’m making a vid soon that explains the differences but for now you can just stick with whatever you already know. Thanks! -Chad
He is brilliant and knows his stuff. It’s just confusing when he spend more time telling you what he is not going to talk about than what he is going to talk about.

Amazing lesson, thank you, it makes so much sense.
Amazing stuff. I'm so glad I found your channel! Thank you so much for sharing this for free. :)
Thanks and you're welcome! Lots of new vids coming soon -Chad
Great stuff. Enlightening!
Thanks! -Chad
Its starts to make sense now!!!
question, if you start your pattern on say the second position, will that be playing a Dorian scale?
Yes technically if you played the 2nd pattern and started and ended on the lowest note you'd be playing a Dorian scale. Thanks! -Chad

I think it's memorization by practicing.
Do scale patterns cover all notes of a particular scale on the fretboard??
Ashwin murali Yes they cover all the notes of a certain scale but only on a portion of the fretboard
Hopefully these lessons help if that's unclear

It sounds like you learned the C major scale bro
Can I ask what software you are using to display the graphics?
I create all my charts in Illustrator and just screen record them. Thanks! -Chad
@@Moveforwardguitar nice
7 patterns can be divided into 5 right?
Yes you can use 5 patterns instead of 7. Thanks! -Chad
idk why the free eguide is not sending to my email anymore?

quick ques: Do I need to learn all 7 patterns?
i want the pdf so badly
Wonderful 2

pattern = shape
