Just discovered this channel and have to tell you that I have had more "aha!" moments in the last few days than I have in the last year! Thanks for making such great, informative, and accessible videos!
Yes I agree, Aha moments. I think that I want to join the Patreon. I have a feeling that it will be well worth the investment.💰🎸🎶🎶🎶. Authentic musical knowledge with wisdom is priceless!
I come back to this lesson from time to time because there is so much info you can base off of it, I realized that you can build a triad in each position ... go figure
Chris- this is incredibly clear and easy to understand and such an important fundamental which I wish I would have learned 25 years ago when I started playing. Thank you!!!
Great videos Chris, thank you. One thing I realized doing this pattern is that the notes seem to follow the C(b)AGE(f)D spelling pattern on the strings. That helps this old guy to remember what string the next (or previous) octave can be found on
Three days ago I watched your Circle of fifths video via Marty Music. Like others commenting, I have advanced more in my music knowledge than I have in years just over the last few days and your video sparked that. You definitely have a gift in helping people understand this stuff. Thanks
Chris, this is gold. I bought the Music theory 101, totally worth it! I knew some of the stuff, but after taking your course, it all makes a lot more sense. Thank you!
Thank YOU Claudio! I’m so glad it’s helpful. Sometimes it’s fine to know the concepts, but better to have an example of how to incorporate them. I hope you enjoy the course!
This was a great exercise in itself but for me, I've also been learning triads recently and knowing where all the roots are for root position, first inversion and second inversion is consolidated by this exercise. Thank you!
Thank you, Chris! The way you teach is clear and engaging, and the things you teach are immensely practical. I'll be binge watching all of your videos!
Wow, I was a little confused at minute mark 4:30 where you got that last G when you ran out of G notes, until I realized you were creating that highest G note with a bend! Super cool concept.... create a note where it doesn't exist by using a bend to get it! Well I guess it technically does exist by bending to it, but not as an actual fretted note. I had never thought of this before, so thanks for this cool little concept!
Ok so this is a super cool thing to realize. What I wanted to show there is that the guitar is the limit...not the player's brain, right? "IF the guitar had more frets, I KNOW there would be a G up here" ...rather than... "IF I knew where a G note was, I could probably play it..." Really love the fact you picked that up nateross14!!
Also, saw your comment on the other video about constraints. Have you watched this yet: th-cam.com/video/pjU7SOeqDyc/w-d-xo.html It's part of a book I wrote a while back...comment on that vid, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it nateross14
@@curiousguitarist Awesome! Yes, I started to watch that video, and commented a little too soon before finishing watching the vid. The comment was initially what popped into my mind, as I sometimes have a tendency to comment before having the full picture, because I forget things easily and its a way to get my thoughts down right away. I deleted the comment because I felt like I should go back and watch the whole video in entirety, to make sure I have all the pieces and not missing something, before commenting. You've got a ton of really cool eye opening videos and find myself following links into another one before finishing the vid I'm on, lol. Gotta slow down and quit getting ahead of myself, thanks!
Man 7:19 min and I was blow away and had to stop the video and start it over . You make it so easy .thanks so much. Amazing times we live in we’re knowledge is so available and free .I hope you do great on here witch I’m sure you will.
You truly have a gift for teaching. Just recently found your channel and I've started to binge-watch your lessons. For the first time, in what seems like forever, things are starting to click for me. Thank you for taking the time to put these lessons together.
Play Acoustic, thought I would try learning more soloing so got an electric for practice. This video and one of your previous videos turned on the light bulb. Thanks. Already running across the neck.
Iv been playing about 20 years, I’m ok, not great or anything because I never properly learned except by figuring out songs I liked. I have a major breakthrough with each one of these videos.
Finally- something I have learned before :P I do get three things out of this- 1) i need to practice finding them (octives) 2) I really need to pay attention to and sort out my method of transitioning (fingering/finger movement) 3) I need to work on my transitioning (musical flow) Thanks, Chris! oh, and- 4) I need to work on my guitar collection! haha way cooler guitars and way more, i'm sure
Not sure you can ever have too many guitars...but I guess that is true at SOME point. I know I'm not quite there yet! 1) Use the circle of fifths!!! 2) Use the fingering I'm using in the video, it's the most efficient. 3) That comes with time and the use of the old metronome!! Good luck!
Chris, so glad I jumped on your channel when Marty recommended it. Your content has been very helpful to advance my understanding of the theory and roadmap of the fretboard while also being very easily understood.
Phenomenal teacher. I'd be intermediate level and have covered some of this theory but your clarity and concise explanations have refined and added to what I thought I knew relatively well. Very glad you set the channel up!
This is GOLD Chris. Really enjoying ALL of your videos. I've only been doing the guitar for about a year now and your videos are beginning to unlock a few things in my brain lol God bless you and this channel. Thank you very much.
Just want to say you opened my eyes! Crazy good lesson! Your pentatonik video is also awsome! Now i know why Marty is that good at playing the guitar. Keep going man this is really high quality guitar teaching!!
@Chris Sherland Thank you so much for this, I have not seen it explained so straight-forward yet. And the way you showed how to attach a scale (pattern) to the notes and by doing so playing through the scale on the whole fretboard was a real eye-opener!!!! This is really, really helpful stuff you are posting. Great work!
Glad it’s helpful FJ! You can attach any musical information to this pattern...a scale, a chord, a riff ect. Any time I learn something new on the fretboard I take it through this pattern around the circle of fifths and then it’s mine forever, anywhere on the neck!
@@curiousguitarist Thank you for the extra info. Do you always start on the lowest fretted note, or do you start with the open string note for E, A and D? I noticed that I can get the notes on the lower frets in that way.
@@dotanoob2k Start on the lowest pitch of that note, no matter where it is. It makes seeing that pattern a but more challenging, but keep that as the constraint...lowest pitch.
Thanks for the information. I enjoyed this video. It's good to know that musical knowledge and wisdom are available to those who seek it. I'm so glad for this. Thanks again and I am considering supporting this channel in the Patreon. Looking forward to more material.😊
Kevin, you are more than welcome! I'm expanding the patreon features next month, so it's worth a peek at least! Hope to see you there and thanks for considering supporting the channel!
@@curiousguitarist That's great! I agree with you. Definitely worth peeking at. I have to wait until the first of the month for payday. I'm excited! Thanks for the replies.
Thanks for these great videos, I’m another one who found you through Marty’s channel and subbed immediately. You’ve got a great teaching style and your content has been immensely helpful.
I one week you have helped me understand what 2 cello teachers a bass teacher and piano teacher couldn’t get me to. Part of it is finally finding my instrument. And I finally feel like I getting “it”!
That was an awesome lesson, I can find all the Gs on the fretboard, but had never played them together and connected the dots, this should open a few doors when playing between chord changes for me
That's fantastic Tom! Did you take this pattern around the circle of fifths yet? Once you do that 4 or 5 times, your relationship to the fretboard will be changed forever, promise. Do that same pattern in this order...first time might take 10-20 minutes, second time will be less than 3 minutes :) C G D A E B F♯ C♯ G♯ D♯ A♯ F
@@curiousguitarist I know the positions pretty well but after a few tries I can see I know the note, before Id have to find something familiar and count up or down, it also reminds me of places where notes are. I haven't used the circle much I under stand 1-3-5 or adding a flat 5th concept, maybe with practice I can find them, I see now its all those building blocks
@@curiousguitarist I had to touch base to thank you for your help, I haven't had much time in the last few days and not sure I have a grasp on what you were pointing to but I learned, there is a connection in where these note land in relation to each other all up the neck, I think the pattern uses every note on the fret board, the pattern IS the circle of 5ths, I had never used or seen one- mind blown several times and every time I look I see more, I could go on, Second re: recommend look @ Troy Grady - I learned a lot, for one pick position and him using a camera had me watch my right hand, I can't play at any speed becase up-down strokes and now correcting bad habits but now im aware and correcting myself. In closing Ive got to thank you for the direction you have given me, you are probably one of if not the best teacher ive seen on the net, if I had an internet voice I would shout it out you deserve a following. Ive progressed more musically in a few of your videos and chat than in 3 months of watching dozens of others you asked what people want to see, theory, songs? For me its theory but there is a lot out there but NO ONE explains it , so it goes over 99% of people watching and it takes time and dedication to learn theory, I hope you can crack that code because the basics building blocks are important, the other option is to do songs and lead riffs, thats how I found Marty and now I watch his intro and then figure it out buy ear or watching for a challenge
Morning Chris, I got sent back here by the video you posted today sir. I have a quick question. When playing pentatonic in this manner to a blues lick for example, is it useful in tone targeting as well? Meaning key of Am, second chord Dm. Would/could you simply restart the scale from the D note root within the original shape? Not sure I’m articulating this effectively lol
That makes sense for sure M R. Start with the roots if you are new to this, then start looking for those other notes to target. Flat 7 being a good beginning point.
one minute I'm looking at your fretting hand, the next, I'm thinking "hey, is that a 1/72 Tiger tank???" then, "hey! what is that swept wing jet ?" might need a few more watches to get the patterns. :-D
Ha!! Yeah, my wife was like "honey, get those silly things out of the shot" The small Tiger I is a 3D print...very cool. The swept wing is a vintage die cast (1969 or so) of a Dassault Mystere. You should see the rest of the place! Fw190s, Thunderbolts...
Hi Chris, I would like to purchase your book,Lead Guitar From The Inside Out. Your site curiousguitarist says it is unavailable. Has the course moved to a different platform? I went through your fretboard harmony primer and loved it! Your teaching and style are fantastic! Thank you!
I took LGFITO down temporarily as I'm having a bit of an issue calculating taxes off of the website. Now that I'm thinking of it, I might move it to my other platform called "The Studio"... hmmmm. Thanks for the kind words, Kathleen!
@@curiousguitarist …. What is the address to your platform ‘The Studio’ ? I could not find it by searching? Or is this in your patreon membership? I have been looking at the memberships but haven’t decided. I prefer to purchase courses as I work full time and can’t seem to get on a regular guitar schedule. I seem to be an all or nothing type! 😬 Which level in your patron packages gives step by step instruction? Does this platform have an order to learning? I find I am all over the place with TH-cam! Although I did finish watching your ‘watch these first’ TH-cam videos. Thank you for those, I greatly appreciate your teaching. I am probably at a beginner/ intermediate level with general chords and enjoy some finger picking. I have decided I want to learn how to play the fretboard and create some cool sounds. Thanks again for all that you do! Although I have just recently come across your work I hear myself saying often while watching your videos , ‘Oh, well that made it easy’! 😁
Chris, I'm a bit confused, likely I'm missing something obvious...if we start at C then wouldn't the next note we play in the Circle of Fifths be G (not F)?
Going thru Gs I looked at where the Cs were typical chord change, then I looked at Es and where the As were ect, never looked at it that way but obvious when playing barre chords, once you add a pentatonic scale ..... Ive never seen it like this or considered you can play your chord changes because you are already there
Knowing the fretboard helps, but this drill will actually get you that knowledge. The struggle is indicative of a gap you probably want to close. This is going to help change the way you look at the fretboard. I redid this video recently, this one might be a bit easier to follow, and it definitely looks and sounds better!! Good luck!! Learn the notes on the fretboard. Use Octaves th-cam.com/video/M6UAgi5nPyE/w-d-xo.html
Yup! I hit that note one octave up during the example at 0:03 Ultimately you can do this any way you like, this pattern specifically keeps you moving along the neck linearly better than having to stop at the high e string at the start of the pattern. Thanks for the comment!
@@curiousguitarist beauty! im considering having my mim sunburst strat refinished in nitro coral but not sure!!! Gotta look the part if cant play it!!! great vid anyway!
@@dan823 coral is a great color, but also so open to interpretation! I ordered a strat from the custom shop in “Salmon” and had to exchange color swatches through the mail for weeks before they would commit to paint!!
Right!? But in another way, it's the best moment, really. Because you can "see" what you're missing...like: "if I had one more strings I'd be able to complete the pattern and finish the scale!!!"
Even if you are a beginner this exercise will give you a huge head start to understanding the fretboard. Thanks for the view and comment SwedishTrucking!

Currently watching and practicing this whole series. I’ve watched SOOOO many videos, but you my friend, are the best teacher!
Wow, thanks for that Joe, really means a lot to me.
Great stuff! So many are limited to the 1st 5 frets, which is a 3red or less of the guitar. Great place to start!

Chris, I'm a bit confused, likely I'm missing something obvious...if we start at C then wouldn't the next note we play in the Circle of Fifths be G (not F)?
Yup you’re totally right! I often go around in both directions I guess I just auto rotated the wrong way!! Sorry about that H, my bad.
@@curiousguitarist thanks, Chris, no worries...I saw you were going in the other direction but wasn't sure why.
Do you have any video for learning music knowledge for acoustic guitar playing
All guitar knowledge is the same for any standard tuned guitar.
Usually it’s more technique differences between electric and acoustic.
Dude, I’ve been relearning things that I’ve known for years.
Ha! That’s a great comment Scott, glad these are providing a refresher!
Argh!! Crisis!! Go and buy food or practice this? What an excellent exercise!!! Thank you so much.
This is without a doubt one of the best ways to learn the fretboard...who needs food at a time like this!?!?!?!?!!
Going thru Gs I looked at where the Cs were typical chord change, then I looked at Es and where the As were ect, never looked at it that way but obvious when playing barre chords, once you add a pentatonic scale ..... Ive never seen it like this or considered you can play your chord changes because you are already there
YES!!!!
@@curiousguitarist I don't understand what he's saying. Maybe a video topic? That's Chris.
Struggling to keep up with this, is knowing the theory in advance a requirement?
Knowing the fretboard helps, but this drill will actually get you that knowledge. The struggle is indicative of a gap you probably want to close.
This is going to help change the way you look at the fretboard.
I redid this video recently, this one might be a bit easier to follow, and it definitely looks and sounds better!! Good luck!!
Learn the notes on the fretboard. Use Octaves

Thank you so much coach@@curiousguitarist
so If I wanted to learn from you, these would be the first videos to start with? and I do learn fro you Iam watching your videos.. LOL
Look at the playlist here called "WATCH THESE FIRST" and that should get you a great start!
What about the G on the high E third fret?
Yup! I hit that note one octave up during the example at 0:03
Ultimately you can do this any way you like, this pattern specifically keeps you moving along the neck linearly better than having to stop at the high e string at the start of the pattern.
Thanks for the comment!
@@curiousguitarist thanks man. I’ve been watching you and others like Marty. To learn. Thanks I appreciate you guys very much.
HOW TO LOCATE TABS ON THAT PAGE???
Hey Jonathan,
Are you looking for the TABs on patreon? They're right here: www.patreon.com/posts/42872982
is that a coral strat?
I wish! It’s actually Fiesta Red.
@@curiousguitarist beauty! im considering having my mim sunburst strat refinished in nitro coral but not sure!!! Gotta look the part if cant play it!!! great vid anyway!
@@dan823 coral is a great color, but also so open to interpretation! I ordered a strat from the custom shop in “Salmon” and had to exchange color swatches through the mail for weeks before they would commit to paint!!
@@curiousguitarist I know what you mean! i wish i could see one in the flesh before making the jump. Sadly not many around!
"We're out of guitar"...lol. Man, I hate when you run low on guitar.
Right!?
But in another way, it's the best moment, really. Because you can "see" what you're missing...like: "if I had one more strings I'd be able to complete the pattern and finish the scale!!!"
Beginners look elsewhere.
Even if you are a beginner this exercise will give you a huge head start to understanding the fretboard.
Thanks for the view and comment SwedishTrucking!
@@curiousguitarist Thank you sir. Thanks for the free content as well.
@@marrzie467 you’re welcome!
Great lesson
Glad you enjoyed it. I re-did this one again here at better quality: th-cam.com/video/M6UAgi5nPyE/w-d-xo.html
