When you go to college to study for your Bachelor's degree, or your Master's, or maybe even your PhD, if you're lucky, you meet a few professors along the way that really make learning fresh and exciting-professors who are able to bring everything together in a way that makes sense. Steve is one of those very rare professors that makes learning the guitar fresh and exciting. Everything he teaches you makes sense. He's an amazing instructor.
Now let’s hope he teaches PhD classes in other subjects…
Actually I agree. And I never agree with people on TH-cam.
In college I spent 3 years studying economics, minor in History, then I had this professor that changed my life, the best story teller you'd ever hear....ditched Economics, I've been teaching 20th century American History at UofM for 17 years.
Been playing guitar 25 years, I know all pentatonic positions, can read music, all that. Never realized those patterns in that way. Very cool. Makes perfect sense.
When something is so simple and you don’t realize it. This video just bumped my skill level up
I think I need to see this 18 more times to get it
Steve is by far the best instructor available online, I joined and went through courses like Jam Play, Guitar Tricks and TrueFire and the Instructors don't even come close. Having taught College myself in the past, there is nothing better than having someone that is a College Professor of Music and Professional musician teach you, his level of instruction highly detail yet his concepts are easy to learn, I'm learning tons from his teaching and have cancelled all other programs and gone with him! Thanks Steve!
Awesome, John! Thanks for all the kind words, and thanks for sharing your experience! :-)

this little trick help me sooooo much because dont have a real good memory
Nothing better than when an instructor can answer/explain something before you ask(referring to the 4th position and the groups of 1-3).
That literally just blew my mind and removed the blinders from my eyes I think I'm going to be able to connect solos now or create my own amazing Steve high-5 yourself. Thank you keep it coming.
Got to say, this has been an AHA lesson for me. Really freaking cool. And what’s even easier is if you want the blues notes, it’s the middle of the first 1-3 and the outside of the 3rd 1-3 (ie #4 as you add it up the neck).. Once you’ve mastered the pentatonics, the blues scale is just 2 more notes. Easy !!!
Fantastic. Steve makes learning these scales fun and exciting. The way Steve teaches, it makes you want to just rush in and start practicing. One of his best lessons yet.
Dude...i been playing for over 30yrs and i never noticed that 1-3, 1-4 pattern....it instantly clicked in my brain when you demonstrated it...you, young man, definately have a God given talent for teaching....most guys just want to "show off" their shred abilities...you convey the knowledge in a clear, concise way that clicks....rock on brother!!!!
I've been playing bass too long. Theory gets in the way, so when I decided to buy a Les Paul and give it whirl, I couldn't think past "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" on the 'b' and high 'e' strings. Fifteen minutes invested in this video uncorked the genie. I never thought I could do 'all that' with a pentatonic scale. Kudos and all kinds of good stuff to this master teacher!
Ive been playing for 35 years. Great way to simplify the boxes!
I learned these scales, the fretboard, all scales by notes rather than patterns years ago BUT this is a great way to encourage students in that critical early stage where learning all 5 patterns of the pentatonic or blues scale might seem 'a bit much'. Excellent work & I'm ashamed that I didn't get it myself with all that playing. 👍👍👍👍👍
wow. been playing for over 30 years, never heard something explained so simply and helpful as this. great spot man.
Steve, I just want to thank you! You are my favorite guitar teacher. I love how you simplify everything. I really haven't played for about 25 years. I did take guitar lessons when I was a child but he never taught me any technique, scales, modes , only how to read music and full song's. I've never had any understanding of the things you are teaching. I'm basically starting over and just in a couple of lessons with you, I have far more knowledge than when I was planning everyday. I'm so grateful to you for freely sharing your wisdom and knowledge of the guitar. Every blessing to you! ✌🎶🎸🎼
Steve, you are a gift to humanity.
Oh wow! This just changed everything for me. Thank you Steve!
Steve Stine is a gifted teacher.. I am a piano/keyboard player with some bass background and learning guitar. I spun my wheels trying to learn guitar watching and reading other guides. I feel like Steve is talking directly to me answering the questions that i have that no one else was capable of explaining. I would bet Steve also plays piano as he can deliver information explaining the relationships in understanding music. I don't get how he has 121 dislikes. Probably from guys on youtube or charging to teach students concepts Steve gives you in a 10 minute video, and they charge a years worth of lessons.
I am a professional student in many different disciplines. I know a good teacher when I see on and you are the real deal; You are a great teacher. Thanks so much for the lesson.
That's hugely helpful, someone tried showing me them on a piece of paper and I've only been at this for about 2-3 weeks.
I am a57
yr. old guitar player and following the SS videos I can now sweep!!!
i know this a year old but what video is that
You don't know how much I've struggled with UNDERSTANDING any of this. This is amazing and will do so much for my guitar playing > self esteem. You see what you did there. Thank you Steve!
Steve. I have gone from someone who has no idea how he is going he is going to learn pentatonic to haha light bulb on, and three months later I can play any key of minor pentatonic scales. I was lost in space until I watched this video. You are amazing. Thank you a million times.
Steve on this pentatonic thing it was an "aha" moment for me because it always confused me but you made it simple! Thanks
"this is life changing stuff" Classic!
This is great. Not only is it breaking me out of a stuck place but I'm having fun learning and trying to comprehend these lessons. Keep making videos
Steve, Great Trick!!! I will soon be 70. I'm still a Player, Collector AND Instructor. I am Retired but still Teach a Limited Number of Students from 11 yrs old to 70+. I try not to "Beat Scales" into Students BUT I tell them although running Scales may seem Boring Initially, they will KNOW when they are becoming Good as they will not even consider Playing a Gig until they have loosened up by running their Scales and what I call "Running Chords as a Tune" comprising of Majors, Minors, Aug's and Diminished PLUS some variations, ie, Min7's, etc. You just Helped Me Help Them with this Trick. One little "Trick" I came up with Many Years ago regarding knowing the various Notes on the Fret Board vs. "Sheer Memorization" was - When one plays a 6String Barre Based on the 6th Sting is - "One has (2) 5's (Strings 2 & 5) (1) 3 (String 3) and all other 3 Strings are a (1) - The Root Note and Two Octaves! Of course, they DO have to understand a Basic Triad. I mentioned this to a Fantastic Jazz Player and Teacher Years ago and He said my Scheme made absolutely NO Sense to Him so maybe I just have a Weird Mind. Regardless, Your Pentatonic Trick is Fantastic! Thanks for sharing! ErnieSC
very awesome steve. ive learned more from you than anyone else. complex stuff that I can understand. Thank you. keep up the good work!
Steve, THIS IS RIDICULOUSLY USEFUL you are awesome man. I'll grab my guitar right now. A great teacher makes the student WANT to learn, and you just DID it.
This is really useful!!!
I broke my 1st string on solo gigs, and this stellar explanation from mr Stine saves EVERYTHING!!!
From double stops, to tapping while playing chords, the soundman don't even know that I don't have a low e string 😹
Mr Stine you will be engraved forever as my guitar teacher!!!
So glad to hear that dude! ❤
This guitar player is an absolutely great teacher . In over 30 years I have never found , not even close , a better teacher than Steve Stine .
Thank you .
Groovy Steve!!! light bulb just switched on in my head and fingers , thanks man .
wow , if I'd only heard this when I was a teenager back in the eighties . I could never connect the scales to make them sound musical . Whenever I played , it sounded like I was warming up .
Damn dude. The problems you said you had before looking at the scales this way, are the same " looking at the scales with blinders" stuff that I struggle with! This technique is super simple, and easily overlooked. Kudos, good sir.
The single most cool tip I've come across in YEARS of wishing I could break away from being a rythym-guitarist-only, because of the overwhelmingly vast amount of scale/mode knowledge other players seem to pick up so easily. THANK YOU!!! I have a real visual sort of learning style, and too much cerebral "theory/calculus/rocket science" makes me shut down entirely. In minutes, these patterns are making sense!! You're really good at this learnin'-us stuff!! Explain it to me like I'm 5, and once I get it, innate musical ability kicks in. But the simplest thing can be over-explained into something that loses otherwise promising players. Please keep this de-mystifying up!
This video is awesome! Definitely gonna help my playing
OMG, thank you so much for this simple explanation of something that has always been so intimidating to me! I wouldn't call it a "weird trick" so much as freakin' genius!
I've been playing a long time but this is one of those "guitar epiphanies" that you wish you had found when beginning. Amazing! So much better than trying to memorize 5 positions. Super-powerful tip!! Thanks so much Steve!
I have been playing for 35 years. You sir are a great, great, teacher. Your style of instruction is outstanding. Keep up the good work.
This is a really fantastic lesson. I learn something new every time I watch this guy. :)
Great! Keep it up!
Guitarzoom
Excellent lesson, once again!
I'm buying a guitar in the next couple of weeks so thought i'd watch some music theory videos on YT just to give me the heads up. well i've been watching these videos for about a month or so now and I have to say, my head is completely Boggled. Well it was until I saw this video. Everything has suddenly become crystal clear. This is by far the best tutorial video I've seen on YT. SO CLEAR, SIMPLE!! Thanks Steve:)
Played the guitar for 40 years and I never noticed your trick nor did any of my teachers ever show me this.wish I had it would have saved so much time memorising. Well better late than never Thanks Steve 5 star lesson.
You're the best Steve...I wish I would have seen this years ago!
Great explanation. Great job, man.
James Nicholson here.I just asked myself what about changing keys, and that 3 1'3 s and two 1'4 s pattern has just put it in perspective.I watch lots of different teachers on you tube,that don,t have the proper patients to teach.Thanks for being complete. Like I said before,I can play anything by ear,but now understanding why.Keep up the good work,you are by far the best teacher out there.
Of all the tricks to unlock the fretboard, yours is the weirdest yet the most fantastic. I've watched so many of your tutorials and can conclude that you have various ways to explain the guitar to others. Can't ask more from an TH-cam instructor.
Holy Cr*p that makes sense! You literally gave me something solid conceptually to grasp as a foundation to approach learning this with. Thank you for this gem of information!
Hi Steve! 1 Weird Trick is the best! I finally figured it out, and it only took three times thru to learn it! Best 15.75 minute lesson I ever learned! Now, if you can do this for the modes, I'll be off and running! Thanks Steve!
Thanks for the kind words, Michael! :-)

Thank you for presenting this in an understandable way. Most guitarists I know still look at the scale patterns in 'boxes' instead of as 'puzzle pieces' that are part of each other, whether along or across the fretboard. Just a couple of years ago I had a little epiphany of my own concerning the diatonic scale. I imagined having a 100 string guitar and visualized the diatonic pattern ascending up to the next higher strings in 3 note groups. What I found was something I now call THE pattern. Starting with the root note, there is a 1-3-5, a 1-3-5, a 1-2-4, a 1-2-4, a 1-3-4, a 1-3-4, and a 1-3-5. To make it easy to memorize I started with the 5th instead of the root to visualize 3 1-3-5's, 2 1-2-4's, and 2 1-3-4's. Now I can pick any reference point on the fretboard and instantly know what 3 note groups are in the area. To change modes, simply move the reference point in the same key. I'm glad I don't feel like I live on an island and that someone else actually sees what I saw.
1-34 (higher string)
1-34
12-4
12-4
1-3-5
1-3-5
1-3-5 (lower string)
i'm impressed with how you simplified this. I have been playing rythm for 35 years and recently decided to learn to play better lead by memorizing scales. the 1-3, 1-4 technique is awesome as is the fact that the positions are the notes of the pentatonic scale. with my experience I can't believe I didn't see that! embarrassing but an epiphany all the same, I thank you sincerely.
Genius ! Thank you very much !
This was very helpful Thank you... I was finding difficulties in pentatonic now I quite understood the way to play. 😁 #please_keep_sharing_knowledge
Best lesson I've ever seen for understanding the pentatonic scale patterns. So, it's always two 1-4's followed by three 1-3's. If I understand this right, the middle 1-3 is always my riff? It would be an honor and a privilege to meet Steve face to face someday. What a great teacher.
Steve...bought a couple of your courses....none has changed the way I play like this did....really made a difference for me. I actually look like i know what im doing....rock on
You're a great teacher. 💪
Wow, we have the same method in memorizing scale/patern hahaha! Great video btw :) I'm subscribing
Steve, as many have previously said, you are an awesome teacher. So clear and concise. Thankyou.
Steve Stine is the greatest. He explains things very clearly.
Brilliant, thanks!
Damn others teaching with fee and it's not even that nurturing and you my friend are an angel from the heavens. I really like your videos. I learn a lot. Thanks man!
Been wanting to pick my guitar up and actually learn more about how to play (notes, scales, etc.) - i am self taught mostly just open chords and tabs here and there. Iv been watching lots of videos and stumbled across Steve Stine. He is by far, without a doubt, the easiest to understand and best teacher iv found on youtube. Never had the pentatonic scale explained this way. So much easier..genius! Iv had this same experience with about 5 other videos he has made...and iv only watched about 6!
so refreshing to find someone who can communicate effectively. thanks so much
Thank you very much! Please share if you find anyone who can use the help :-)
Damn good lesson!!
wow. super helpful...light bulb moment for me. thank you very much!
Hello Mr Stine... I like your approach. This lesson particularly makes it possible to understand better and actually cut down on the confusion when you look at the fret board. Very helpful.
I've played drums for the last 15 years but 2 months ago I decided to learn the guitar. I'm 52y/o and and kick myself in the asss because i should of started learning guitar back when I was 20! lol
Thanks again for your help and the time you take out of your life to teach others. I don't think most people understand just how much time, aggravation and work this takes to accomplish this and it doesn't matter what instrument one might play. Music is the toughest thing one can learn and sometimes teach, it's a whole different language but at the same time it's the most universal language in the world.
Thanks again for the help with all your videos, I really appreciate your time.
~A~
I would encourage anyone who feels like they have not been able to get these shapes down to watch this. We do all learn differently, but even if there is a chance that one video could make it all click for you, I would say that is was more than worth a shot, ? Good luck all and Thank You Mr. Stine!
Woah, 60fps looks so strange!
Well I feel like an idiot. Slow down, lol
Can you go back and show me this vid in '92... save me all these years of almost seeing this... AWESOME Lesson! Good luck and thanks...
Steve, I have learned more in one year of your videos than I had in years trying various lessons and methods. You are a gifted man. Thank you for your instructions.
You are most welcome,
Steve
I've been stuck on this plateau for probably 3 years, gave up learning lead at this point because the scales were so overwhelming. Gonna give it another go, thanks :)
I love how Steve can put a different perspective on complex issues. This is a great trick!
And after all this time trying to remember those last two shapes this video was just what I needed
Wow! This is like a Rosetta Stone for unlocking the fretboard and internalizing the pentatonic boxes. Thank you Steve Stine!
Everyone claims to have a trick to memorizing the pentatonic patterns and the fretboard. This is the first one that actually works! So simple I'm almost embarrassed I never noticed this before. Great video! THANK YOU!
Game changing! Great teachers simplify teaching
Steve you have a gift to put things in easy way. Whish to have a teacher like you.
Genius.. finally I understaaand! I realized that I always have to get back to certain channels like this one to really understand what I have to do. Ignore those hobby players that try to explain stuff but do it wrong so in the long run they mess up your brain and guitar playing. Learn from people that really know what they're doing.
Thank you, Steve!
Playing for 10+ years and never saw the Pentatonic like this....mind blown! Thanks Steve!
I don't usually comment on videos, and idk if anyone will ever see this, but I gotta say it. This video explained pentatonic scales and the position in a way that no other has, and its finally making sense. I've been struggling so much with pentatonic and the positions and understanding how they are connected and now it's clicked. Thank you so much!!!!
i'm 46, a life long musician rather new to guitar, and this video just opened it up for me. Thanks so much!
Steve, I was totally lost for the last 20 years without YOU! Sure, I learned a few things here and there on the guitar, and I got better SLOWWWWLY over time, but, the day I discovered YOU, and started exploring your teachings (which was about a month ago), I am absolutely flabbergasted by the amount I have learned in such a short time! I learn so much every single time I watch another one of your videos. I have big plans on buying some of your courses, but I want to thank you for giving me enough to work with until I am able to do that. You make it easy to keep going, while, in the back of my mind I really just want to buy your courses. I am going to this week. I see there are some that have been slashed to half price on guitarzoom.com. Some of them are literally only $37, and, to me, the knowledge is priceless. You have made my journey so much more exciting, because I know for a fact I am going to learn more stuff tomorrow and every day after, because you are the one teaching me, and I learn every single day with you. Thank you so much!
Mr Stine, you are the best teacher in the world ... Thank you for being you
After 2 years the light finally went on! Awesome video, thank you.
Steve, I have the same "blinders" you referred to, but I think the lightbulb just went off. You're a great dude for posting these vids. Thanks Steve!
Wow, what a great teacher, I learnt more from his video's then I ever did from my teacher, thank you, Steve.
Great insight! Thank you for passing it on to us so generously.
Dude!!! You just unlocked what i have been working on for ages now.. Seriously, THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video!!!!
i've been playing a long time, but never practiced much so i never learned my way around the fretboard. started recently looking around youtube at all the different instruction, and while there's some good stuff out there, this is the best thing i've seen for help with scales! thanks so much!!!
Thank you for the change in perspective.
I watch this when I started 4 years ago and was lost ..no clue..I come back and just now see ...and it's wonderful...thanks man
Hi Jimmy! My pleasure. Glad to know the lesson has been helpful...finally...LOL Thanks for posting!
I can’t believe this guy doesn’t have 2 million subscribers yet... Clear, to the point and most importantly always teaching techniques based on easier lines of thought and practices.
Kudos to you!!!
honestly thought of this early on but the way he explained it actually makes it useful outside of just memorising scales
Hey Steve, this video is GOLD! May even have broken my 50 year mental block! Thank you!
First time I have ever commented on a u-tube video but Steve just broke this scale down in a way I can finally make some sense of the pattern...Great teacher...Great tip..Thx
Best guitar instructor on TH-cam. Hands down. Maybe even the best anywhere. I love uncle Ben Eller, but Steve you got this shit down! Thank you for everything you put on here! I started watching your 12 videos of absolute fretboard mastery (obviously more then once) and I've learned BY FAR more from that then in my last 15 years of playing. So again, hats off to you, sir!
Steve, as always your lessons are so much appreciated! I appreciate you taking the time to help the thousands who are pushing to be better players. Thanks for all you do!
