I Wish I Knew When I First Started Playing Chords On Guitar

- In this lesson I'll be showing you a hidden neck pattern I call the "L7 GRID". The L7 GRID allows you to easily figure out and play chords in any key and the kicker is it also shows you how to solo in any key! This super helpful for playing chords across and up the fretboard
Understanding and visualizing "The L7 Grid", will unlock the chords on the fretboard. There are 4 GRIDS btw...but this is the simplest.

Kick ass guitar lesson as usual! Im taking lessons from a couple of hot shots out of Nashville BUT your lessons are hands down the easiest to understand. Thx!
Having zero understanding, in fact, TODAY is my first attempt at Fretboard anything, I was surprised that just listening to your Tutorial I actually began to gain some fundamentals. wow. wonders never cease, even at my age! thanks!
this man is a rockstar in disguise.
Another great 👍 lesson, Ricky!!! I knew the “7” shape of I, IV, V... but didn’t realize the “L” shape of minors, residing just next door 🏠 . It was another enlightening moment. Thank you🙏 again! I enjoy your channel.
~Glad your old school....it helps a lot of us who are trying to understand this beautiful instrument....Louisiana girl here. Love your accent.
Teacher once told me I was unteachable if I insisted on playing left handed upside down. 50+ years later I still love playing and learning. Your videos always floor me with what ease and clarity you're able to teach this incredible instrument (even to us LHUD players). This video was especially useful. Least of which, using the root note of the 6 chord to locate the best place to riff was mind blowingly simple and something I mostly guessed at before. Been a subscriber for a few weeks now, loving every minute. You have an astonishing gift of teaching, thanks for sharing it with us and keep up the good work!
I stopped believing such "experts/authorities" years ago. I got in so many detentions as a result. Lol
Why didn’t u just flip the strings
You're in good company with some of the Gipsy Kings players. I recall being at one of theur concerts with my dad and thought their hand shapes for chords were interesting. I grabbed my dad'a binocs and realized they had simply rotated a right-handed guitar.
LHUD? Is that a UK term?
I couldn't have said it better. Rick definitely has an gift! And he is an incredible gift!
Learning. Feeling like I'm playing catch-up. Right-hander who finally started playing on a guitar small enough for hands. Lovimg every minute of playing and learning on this portable instrument.
Ricky, I just binged (taking notes) around 5 of your videos on Music Theory. You are the best teacher I have ever come across. I have learned more in the last 3 hours than I have in my previous 40 years of playing, but not learning. Thank You Brother!
This might be the single most useful lesson I have seen on youtube!
Three years on and just watched your additional lesson on the Grid have to say, inspirational, genius video lesson.
Love the way you feed us just enough to not be overwhelmed.
Dude !!!! I've been playing guitar for decades and have been guessing at my ad libbed guitar solo note choices and would always wonder why my notes wouldn't sound right even though I was playing in the Key of ______ !!! The vi chord is the ANSWER to all of my woes !!!! THANK YOU Ricky !!!! This video as well as many other videos have been truly eye opening as well as entertaining. Can't wait to go through the rest of your catalog. You are talented and appreciated !!!!
Eyup Rich! Super stoked this video gave you some answers. Thank you for your kind words and the subscribe! :)
this is the first video of yours that I watched and I am fascinated I can't wait to watch more and try these things on My guitar thank you so much
@@rickysguitar great lesson question for you what do you do when the e 6th string pentatonic runs in to the 5 string pentatonic. In other words you showed two positions you can play the pentatonic scale to be in key but if you move one of them down the neck it starts overlapping with the other one. Which leaves you playing two different positions in the same spot do all those notes sound right or overlap?
Wow! I'm going through this video a second time because the first time around I didn't quite understand. half way through the second round, Bam! I'm 54, I last took lessons at 13, for a year. I learned basic cords and scales. I learned a few simple songs. I quit playing because nobody was explaining to me how it all fit together, how it works. I wanted to know, but I didn't even know what to ask, If that makes any sense. Like the way you built the cords off of the low e string. As the root note changes when you climb up the neck, so do all the other notes when using the open e pattern with e being the root. And that's it Man! It all makes sense! Perfect logical sense! That concept applies to all the strings and all of the open cords built from their root note. Wow just wow, I could go on. You have explained to me so well what I needed to know. Man, by far the very best lesson I've ever had. Great video!!!!!
You're saying what we're all thinking. Very well said!
Definitely the most brilliant lessons you can find in TH-cam.
I jam a lot with my friends. Friends that have been playing together far longer than I have. As a new guitar player, I have trouble knowing where everybody is in a song. Never knowing where to be when it's time to solo. I usually stay in the rhythm and pass on my turn to solo. Only because I don't know where to start. I have an idea of what I want to play, but not the knowledge of how. This tutorial has opened it up for me. I get it, now. I know I will still have trouble, but this makes it closer. Thanks a million.
Best guitar lesson I’ve watched yet! What a gift you are to TH-cam! Thank you!
I've been playing blues for awhile now. But, you just gave me the secret to where to solo in a rock genre. You are right....the minor pentatonic does not work very well in rock....but now I know where to start pattern one of the pentatonic when playing rock.....KUDOS!!! No one else gave me that glimpse.
This may be the singularly most helpful guitar lesson I have ever seen. Nice job.
Ricky you’re a diamond mate ! I’ve been ‘noodling’ on guitar all my life but getting no where. You’ve literally ‘switched on the light’ for me. Really great videos, excellently done with easy to understand explanations. Honestly until I found your site I was a lost soul musically speaking. Many many thanks 👍🏻
Eyup George! I’m really stoked to read that. That’s why I make videos for TH-cam! I appreciate your kind words buddy :)
The way you tell us, it makes perfectly sense all of a sudden
I play 30 + years, but have a poor understanding of the theorie behind what I'm doing on my guitar.
It's all about feeling/hearing so far.
So I've decided to learn this.
Ok, the US football reference...I feel like each of your videos I watch are like passing the ball 30 yards, getting a first down every down...Not that I have everything absorbed and memorized, that will take some practice, but I have learned more about guitars in a day of your videos than everything else I have looked at. Thank you!
I watched American football once...that you play with your hands, which is kind of like Rugby but with a motorcycle helmet and mad max body armour. I didn't have a clue what was going on... mind you it took me a while to understand the offside rule in British football that you guys call soccer...I'm hoping getting a first down is a good thing *smiles nervously
Best guitar lesson I’ve seen in 10 years of playing 👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸
You put excitment in the possibilties of learning this stuff.Long way to go but can see a light way down the tunnel.Thanks a lot,
Rick, you speak and teache in a way that my brain enjoys learning from. Thank you !🎉
I'm Joseph from Ghana and as a beginner I am tremendously enjoying and gaining so much from your teachings. Thanks so much
You gave me another “Ah Ha” moment showing how the brackets fit together! I am going to need to watch again to digest that 6th note Pentatonic scale part. Thank you from Wyoming.
Thank you so very much, I needed this lesson to get playing in a minor key. God bless you special!
That was the most important guitar lesson of my life.
Your comfortable clarity is fantastic .
If our paths cross, the beers and curry is on me.
No skimping.
I've bought an EYUP t-shirt, lest I don't see you.
Ricky, I've just had delivery of your book. Running through this lesson and you dropped a little gem. No wonder my minor pent riffs sounded wrong as the root should be on the vi. You're the man!
I can’t believe how awesome this is!!!! Does every guitarist know this ????
I love watching these 3mth/6mth later as I still learn with it but everything beginning clicking together cheers Ricky
I've been learning a ton from your videos... Thank your sir. Going back to refresh.
I rewatched the video again and it is *SO FUCKING BRILLIANT* I am besides myself and could hug you for it. This alone can be used to jam and noodle for AGES without knowing anything else. What a joy to spend time watching you. Thank you from the heart! ♥
A very meaningful music lesson for the guitar fret board which has no black or white keys.
Ricky, fantastic lesson struggled for years, I know you’ve heard this many times it’s like looking through a misty glass, you come along with a de-misting wand and suddenly it makes sense, just got to work harder at it. Thank you so much🤣👍👍 love the lessons fab!!!
This is GOLD !!! TY, Our Brother !!!! Excellent lesson ! 😁👍💕
This is brilliant, helping us mere mortals understand this stuff. You are a legend, thankyou
This way of looking at chords is mind-blowing. EVERYBODY should teach this. Thankyou soooooo much.😀
Just watched this lesson. I had figured out that I could solo using the Box 1 pentatonic shape pattern over any Key just by positioning my pinky finger on the key note on the bottom string as a reference point. What I hadn't realised was that I could also start with my index on the VI note position on the A string. A light bulb moment for me. Brilliant lesson. Thnx.
Gold indeed! thank you Mr Comiskey, it is all soaking in
Wow! Thank you the penny has finally dropped. I have learnt my pentatonic but never quite understood how they fitted properly until now.
Maestro, there are no words to say thank you for your tutorial, you are just amazing! Blessings!
I'm going to go back .... And re watch. It is gold
Just perfect for me right now… breaking out of just bluesy progressions. Like your style pal! Crackin’
You are a brilliant teacher Ricky, I wish I had found someone with your tuition skills years ago, well explained , well done!
This absolutely blew my mind. Thank you so much for making all these videos, I'm so excited to go through all your other ones!
I’ve been with you for a while now Ricky, but I rewatch these videos and still find revelation and joy each time ! Thanks Ricky.
You are a great teacher! Thank you so much for sharing these lessons and making it easy to understand!
This is what I’ve been looking for. You’ve explained it perfectly Ricky. Thanks
Killer stuff Rick. I have never heard your version of the string memory nemonic. Since I have a different accent than you do, I had to listen to you over and over again so many times! Ha,🤣🤣 when I finally understood what it was you were saying....so funny!!!! I had a blast. Thanks mate.
This knocks everything else I have learned out of the park. Great job. Really am enjoying watching and learning from your videos.
Ricky just discovered where have you been….🤭You have an amazing ability to teach and in a manner everyone should understand and benefit from.
BRILLIANT.
Thanks Kevin
Hey Rick..just recently found your channel and find your teaching methods so easy to follow, I've been faffing around on the guitar for many many years without any major breakthroughs and a lot of imitating other people but you have opened up my mind to so much in so little time..thank you so much
Ricky - Thanks for "leading" me to this video. It was fantastic - this was so useful to me, as it answered many questions that I could not quite figure out how to pose to anyone. I like to thing of this video as the "Missing Link." It is so useful and helpful. Anyone interested in guitar playing should view this video, as it is pure gold. Thanks for taking the time to create this video, the PDF, and for your keen insights into how to express your feelings through guitar playing. Great Job.
Watched two of your videos today, learned so much. Easy to understand and more than informative. Keep up the great work.
This is beyond sense, its reality!!!!!!!
The best teacher on the fret!!!!!!
Realy good lesson. Started to learn bar chords a few weeks a go and this realy is getting me motivated. Thanks!
Wish I had you around 20 years ago. This is a crap load of information taught in the way I can learn it. MUCH appreciated. I'll be back.
Glad I can help! Ricky
Me too!
You are gifted with a talent and natural ability to impart guitar lessons that’s easy to understand and connect the fundamental theories that’s easy to follow. Outstanding you are Sir!
YES! This certainly has connected some dot's, and it makes PERFECT sense. Playing the minor pentatonic on the 6th of a major key is golden. Thank you for a master lesson! I did have to watch it twice, my eyes glazed over the first time I watched it....
Your one of my favorite teachers, I sence your emotions through the lessons taught, thank You for opening the highway to joy of music.
The way you teach is just the way I finally understand the guitar
Thank you .
you are the best teacher ever
Maria
Lovely flow and logic you have in your lesson. Thank you for your lesson on contructing the chords and structuring them and making it easy to flow. 👍
Dude, I've been playing and composing songs in the Neil Young Jackson Browne vein for 40 years and still love it (play almost every day), but never figured out the soloing thing. Since I already have a basic understanding of all the chords (but not scales), this video instantly caused a huge leap in my understanding of what it is I have been doing all these years by trial and error. I can see you love teaching (I am also a teacher). Thank you thank you thank you.
Lots of Utubers can play,…your style of teaching is unique,as it obviously comes from the heart! Keeps me coming back for more .the Old school pen and paper penetrates my thick scull like no other! Thanks for helping me learn the language !
The Grid I love,I go over the videos 3-4times over the last yrs and ya videos show me how I’m picking up how much I understand second third time rnd watching it it’s all making sense so thanks
Sure do get a lot out of your videos. Started learning guitar 50 years ago and your the first one I've found to teach this. Your videos make more sense (cents) then the Rothschild's and Howard Hughes combined🤪. Sure glad I found your videos. I play rhythm in church, once in a while I'll flip out an arpeggio. Plan to get one of your books too. Turned my nephew on to your teaching also. Thank you for sharing your Guitar expertise. 🙋
Thank you for your kind words Ron.
Rick, I have to say thanks, I watched this again and wow it makes sense. The jewel is how the 6 chord goes with the minor pentatonic!!!!! This has opened the fretboard so much. You make learning fun and so straight forward. No Jibber Jabber!!!!! I will add the 6th chord part playing the minor pentatonic to the printout so I can practice.
Best YT guitar teacher I’ve found.
Check out Kelly Dean Allen "KDA". He teaches or plays 100's of songs! Very inspirational!!!
I just want a say a big thank you to you for providing these content for free. Obviously this video has helped me gain a lot of knowledge and I am in in debt to you seriously. I have been playing guitar since a long time I knew the basics to some extend but you just helped me to connect the things well together. I have been searching for tutorials like these but have not managed to find it until yesterday which I don't know how it got popped up in my recommendation but whatever or however it has happened I am really thankful to the algorithm and to you. I'll definitely follow all of your videos. Just this video alone has unlocked a different level to me. thank you thank you.
This was totally eye opening. Thank you so much for the detailed explanation and handouts.
Awesome lesson! Very enlightening! So much good information. Thank you for sharing
Another brilliant lesson. The vi chord trick just opened a whole new world for me.
Mentally here I'm a beginner, physically i'm a V8 that just needs to be steered. I feel the progress already after applying what you've shown in about 2 videos, you've got me coming along coming cause I need this. I will continue. Thank you ricky.
Gold is right Ricky! absolutely right, thank you very much🙂 You are a tremendous person and tremendous guitar teacher! God-bless you👍
You Sir are a blessing in disguise , everything is making so much more sense to me after watching your videos. Can't wait to see your website when it's active 🎸 keep rocking
One of the best, most understandable videos I’ve seen. Taught me a lot of good stuff. Excellent and thanks. Keep on with your great work.
This is really fun to watch. I can't wait to play with this tomorrow.
This is the best explanation I've seen! Thanks for sharing! It's going to help!
I think your videos are brill... thx for putting them up and making them kinda easy to understand.... some easier than others.... as i'm a dad with not much spare time or spare cash... your needed more than ever as i could never get these types of lesson on apps.. trust me i've looked and find them to difficult as they dont explain the process they just throw you into playing which is fine but then when u switch the app off and look at the fretboard it hasnt taught me anything about how it works or how to decode fretboard etc keep them coming .... my messiah.... lol
As many, I knew the 7 shape… but not the relative L shape. Thanks for enlightening me😊
Nice lesson. This shape approach really helps me with the right chords and notes for songs.
Your personality is just great for your gifted lessons which to this fellow who could only chord to sheet music is really so very helpful. The GRID is a gem. I will probably lock on to a teacher soon and you are certainly up there in my sweepstakes. Thanks amigo.
Awesome lesson. I am a beginner and I've been trying to understand the chords you just explained. Thanks for taking your time to break down and simplify the process. Things are much clearer now. I wish your channel a lot of success. Blessings.
Very helpful. I like how you explain things. I have to go back and finish watching the chords video as I took a break a the tub reset my view. Thanks a ton. I'll be watching more of your tutorials.
Your method is brilliant! Great way of learning something difficult and simplifying. Thank you.
This lesson is fantastic!
How awesome is that, though? Continuously blows my mind how simple shapes can be so powerful musically. Pythagoras really knew what he was doing. And so do you! Brilliant lesson.
Ricky that was certainly an eye opener for me as I was always stumped as to how they all seem to know what it means its in this key or that and they all just start always seemed like magic now I sort'a got it!
I have learned so much from your lesson, it is unbelievable! A lot of broken pieces of information are coming together now. Thank you!!!
Wow!!!! This tutorial is awesome!!!! Thanks!!!.. looks like im going to watch all your tutorials one by one and have my friemds look at it..
It makes me fee confident to play in unusual key like Bb.
Thank you Ricky! This tutorial is very eye opening, you are very very good at teaching guitar🎸❤️ I’m a Left handed guitar player and you make it easy to understand.
Yes makes perfect sense ! Thanks for your work
Amazing stuff Thanks for helping me under stand learning steps to grown on and sharing
I m speechless
Man … a so major input in my understanding of the guitar .. thanks a lot !
Fantastic!!! All cleared up. Thanks
That was well worth a watch! Thank you for a great lesson :)
Very good lesson , my light is turning on brighter with all your cool tricks well done 🎉
Love it, thanks mate!!!🎸You're helping me immensely.
WOW thank you !!! This ties so much together.
Hi Ricky, love your style my man. You have a great way of teaching and make what is a complicated instrument more accessible. I'm a 68-year-old student and I've always wanted to play guitar. My son is now teaching me and you are providing invaluable insights. My son, who has been playing for over 30 years, is also following you and your systems are benefitting us both. Thank you so much for your knowledge, personality and time. You are a dude. Have a great day. Pete
This makes me super happy to read Peter. Even better that you and your lad get to talk about it together. Just wait till you can get out and look at guitar stores lol! Thank you for your kind comment and watching :)
