I have been playing guitar for 55 years. Only by ear, I never learned any Theory except very very basic stuff that I just picked up along the way. I haven't told many times I'm a great guitar player, and I just laugh, because I'm a hack. I played great solos but I have no idea what I'm doing or how to make them better. I improvise, I don't plan very much at all. I had a stroke two and a half years ago I lost the use of my left side completely. I have fought hard and got my arm and hand back and I am bound and determined to learn this instrument that I loved all my life. Thank you so very much for these videos. I only have a short amount of time to learn things that I've always wanted to learn, and your channel is helping more than anything I have ever found. I don't understand it yet, but I will
Roger Williams I also had a stroke and lost all strength and coordination in my left hand. I thru a slide on and was able to keep playing music after months of sounding like a squeeling pig...lol I also got the lightest strings on another guitar and never stopped working my fingers. I would do spyder exercises "chromatics" using every finger. At times I had to place my finger on the string with help from my right hand! My advice to you is NEVER give up. You can make those fingers work again and in the mean time still play music using a slide. I am not back 100% but Im a good 85% of normal and playing music BOTH ways now, slide and normal fingering. Chords were killer! start with simple triads and double stops you CAN do it. Good luck to you Brother.
Hi how were you able to recover playing , I have trouble even holding the guitar let alone putting pressure o the strings, thanks everyone Iplan to play again any way I can playing music is the best drug for depression, it has been a great loss not to be able to play going on two years now!
I’ve been playing for over 35 years and my knowledge of the fretboard is extensive, yet there are exercises in this video that I’ve never done. I guess this old dog is gonna try and learn a new trick.
Rick is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 bro I've been following him for few years now and I also got his book please buy the book it's worth it I had loads of questions for years and this teacher got it everything open up for me ❤️🙏
This guy is doing stuff no one else is doing on TH-cam. A deep understanding of music theory and an ear for all types and styles of music. This is good stuff
During this pandemic, I have picked up a guitar for the 1st time in 33 years, all I've ever known was about 5 basic cowboy chords and Ive always wanted to learn how to solo. Ive been practicing roughly 6-10 hours per day on and off throughout the day and all I could do was the pentatonic shapes when Id try to play to a backing track, this lesson opened up so many doors, thank you for putting this out there man, I have a lot more to absorb from this and at first I thought there is no way my old arthritic shitty hands can move that fast but they're getting there and videos like this really help. I can honestly say that reigniting my guitar passion has definitely made my days worth something lately. I suffer from crippling anxiety and depression and the only thing keeping me happy, focused, and driven is the guitar. It seems so impossible at first and my fingers literally peeled the first week from practicing but I can see some light through the tunnel now and again, its videos like this that really help get through the rough sticking points. Music saves lives.
Agreed. I learned cowboy music from my Dad and then picked up Beatles and Donovan fingerpicking and harmony singing and a little blues soloing and wrote my own songs. But aside from a few jazz lessons long ago never learned properly the fretboard. Rick's attitude and generosity has opened things up for me again and with the virus, I'm back to playing every day after years of stagnation. The idea now is to keep opening up and moving forward-Rick shows it can be done, it's just putting the time in. Everything he shows is logical, but it helps so much to see it done and have it clearly explained.
@@lopezb whats also helped me learn to keep time and rhythm really well is a game, believe it or not, Rocksmith for PS3 has really kept me going through the frustrating and "boring" lulls of some days. Ive "mastered" (the games words not mine) 7 songs which I had no idea how to play before and can get at least 50-75% on most songs, its also a great tool
So i did it right. I had one guitar instructor when i was like 14. He walked in, taught my brother bass, came to my room, said what do you want? I said blues. He played the clap and yes album then and there, hendrix, and trower. Wrote down pantatonics, showed me chord formulas. Just like you did in this video. Left me on my own to do the details. It worked. Good video. Peace Rick
Thank you so much for your knowledge. I m 70 years old and starting a little later in life. This will help me out of the rutt I seam to be in of not being able to progress. Thank your for the structure of learning to what to and how to practice.

I think Rick is just a great teacher. I’ve been playing for 10ish years and this is the first video I’ve come across in a long time that gave me one of those “ohhhhhh” moments. Thanks Rick, you’re awesome!
Many others have said it and now so will I: best lesson on pentatonics on TH-cam. Plus that Gibson LP Junior in TV Yellow! A great way to pass the time in lockdown.
I stumbled on this “concept” years ago and it opened the fretboard up for me, suddenly everything made sense. This video just reminded me to revisit this and practice more! Thanks Rick, you make things fun. p.s. Anyone who wants to play well, study this inside out until you can do it in your sleep!
I've been looking for a tutorial on how to learn this for what seems like forever. This is by far the most useful I've ever seen. And you deliver the information quickly, unlike videos where they take so long to explain a even a few notes I never watch the videos all the way through. I also loved your "What Made Bach Great" video. Bach is my favorite composer. Counterpoint forever!
Been playing for almost 40 years...took lessons for a couple of years from an old jazz player when I first started, but never really practiced anything after that.. other than learning songs. This is a great video on not only the pentatonic scale, but also how to approach practicing and then applying the patterns in a creative way for soloing. Thanks for putting this video out there for us...great stuff as always!
Quite possibly the clearest - most concise and useful lesson in learning pentatonics on the internet anywhere - and it took Rick 11 minutes to teach it - aboslutely no bullshit
Rick, I hope you know how helpful and clear your videos are. Been playing for over 30 years (mostly by ear) and your videos have really helped me learn so much. Thank you!
This is the absolute best video I have found that covers not only the pentatonic scale, but how to practice it effectively. Awesome awesome content. Thanks Rick!
I’m just getting to understand this concept... getting to know the neck. I feel out of my depth. This video is the best one that I feel I can actually grasp so far. Thank you.
This is such a great channel. From Bach counterpoint, to how to practice, to deconstructing great songs and convincing me that I'll never develop perfect pitch. Great stuff! Thanks.
YES!!! A BEGINNER VIDEO> EXACTLY MY LEVEL. thanks rick!!! YOUR CHANNEL GOT ME INTO MUSIC AGAIN AT 44. I CAN'T EXPLAIN THE JOY IT GIVES ME. GOOD JOB MAN.
So simple yet so USEFUL! Was in a rut trying to figure out how to go about practicing the minor pentatonic. I've been just kinda wandering around the fretboard picking the scale notes at random. This will keep me busy for a month! Seriously, thank you for this structured approach.
I had heard of "positions". I didn't know exactly what they were. Never been formally trained. Rick explained what I need to know in about 10 minutes. Rick you are a music god.
Ive had some GREAT teachers thru the years... But in all honesty, I had to figure most things out on my own from endless hours of practice!!! I always wished I had some like You/Rick to show me some more theory!!! I ended up being an incredible rhythm guitarist, by building my ears, by repetition, feel & the desire to become better!!! But back in the 70’s & 80’s, THATS how most of us learned!! Thanx for the vids, I’ve turned countless people on to your site-Keep up the great job☮️🎶☮️
Rick this is James Banks here man and I have to say today looking at you talk about the pentatonic minor scale you are an absolute badass and that's straight from the heart brother thank you so much😎😂😎!
I think the reason why this is the best lesson for pentatonics online is because it’s the one that includes the most work Lol ;) nice lesson Rick. I’ll be working on this for sure!
OH! You “shift,” and that’s how you make a smooth transition from one position to another! Why didn’t someone tell me that 20 years ago? Thanks for the tip!! 🎸😍
After playing guitar for almost four decades, these Pentatonic exercises you have shown here really inspire me. In the early 1990s I used to do some exercises like this (especially doing patterns with 5 notes, 6 notes, etc.), but I somehow didn't continue to practice these for whatever reason (probably laziness). I'm going to work on these more to further inspire my creativity. I love that playing guitar is a continual learning process since there are really endless possibilities in creating interesting things (patterns, riffs, sounds, etc.) on guitar. Thanks so much for this great video (among all of your other great videos too), Rick!!! :-D
Excellent lesson Rick. Been looking for this for a long time! This helps me to know where all the G notes are too. This will help my linear playing and improve my phrasing too. My horizontal playing is good in all 5 positions. It's my linear playing that suffers. This is a great exercise you've given me! Thankyou for the freebie Rick.
100% - I've been looking for a practice like this. Seems so intuitive after you see it. After just oneday my fret board movement has improved drastically.
Wow Rick I love it now I want to play pentatonic scales which I've been stalling thank you for this tutorial it's the best I've seen on pentatonic scales yet
Damn, Sam, an absolute eye opener! Position shifting has always been a real bear for me and these exercises provide a practical, melodic way to break out of old habits!
Yourenthusiasm is infectious the content is clear with useful information at every step, overall it’s a totally enjoyable and inspiring experience I so appreciate your presentation and your advice. It’s been three years since I’ve touched a guitar since my stroke. There is a significant void left, but I look forward to a time when I can play again I usually think of nothing else when I am daydreaming thank you again!, so until the next time...
Thanks for opening my eyes to this way of pentatonic playing, teachers keep throwing me the 5 positions and tell me it’s how you solo without showing me how to apply it.
amazing lesson. i have been strugling connecting and sliding from one shape to another. u have nailed practice for this doing those groupings of 3 strings. no other practive method work as good as this for me
Wooow! The first video I've seen making sense right frOm begining to the end! Thank you Sir... You're really a Guitar Legend.... Let me practice this now!!!
Great video and lesson! I know all the positions, and can move around the fret board, but I love the two string and three string practicing. This is excellent, Rick! Really enjoying your channel and what you create for everyone!
I have been looking for ways to properly practice scales. This video popped up and wow… it really helped. The video is 5 years old, I’m a subscriber, but I just watched it. It really lit a fire under me. Thank you Rick!!!
After on and off for 14 years of "playing" guitar, I've finally decided to learn the instrument correctly. This just this video, but your videos in general have helped me a lot this year!!! Thanks Rick!!!! You're the man!!
however I do still think that it is somewhat freeing to start out doing it wrong, so you eventually understand what the difference is, and why doing it right is worth it. Most of the time, but not always.
Got this gist of the technique down and now I'm trying to polish and master it - thanks Rick! Love the sideways playing or vertical playing - I'm so green but I'm able to put in a few hours every day - which I do.
I've never heard Albert play a lead in key... Ever. Rarely hits a note that's in key even, and I'm sure that's accidental. Ruled? Ok bud, opinions vary...
I have been playing guitar for 55 years. Only by ear, I never learned any Theory except very very basic stuff that I just picked up along the way. I haven't told many times I'm a great guitar player, and I just laugh, because I'm a hack. I played great solos but I have no idea what I'm doing or how to make them better. I improvise, I don't plan very much at all. I had a stroke two and a half years ago I lost the use of my left side completely. I have fought hard and got my arm and hand back and I am bound and determined to learn this instrument that I loved all my life. Thank you so very much for these videos. I only have a short amount of time to learn things that I've always wanted to learn, and your channel is helping more than anything I have ever found. I don't understand it yet, but I will
Roger Williams I also had a stroke and lost all strength and coordination in my left hand. I thru a slide on and was able to keep playing music after months of sounding like a squeeling pig...lol
I also got the lightest strings on another guitar and never stopped working my fingers. I would do spyder exercises "chromatics" using every finger. At times I had to place my finger on the string with help from my right hand! My advice to you is NEVER give up. You can make those fingers work again and in the mean time still play music using a slide. I am not back 100% but Im a good 85% of normal and playing music BOTH ways now, slide and normal fingering. Chords were killer! start with simple triads and double stops you CAN do it. Good luck to you Brother.
More strength to you 2 gents in your persistence and not giving up on this great instrument in spite of your recent challenges. 🤘
Don't give up, Roger!!!
Bro I lost most most of my right...maybe we could work something out. I'm a claw of my former self-self!
Hi how were you able to recover playing , I have trouble even holding the guitar let alone putting pressure o the strings, thanks everyone Iplan to play again any way
I can playing music is the best drug for depression, it has been a great loss not to be able to play going on two years now!
This is the best video on pentatonic scales that I've seen on TH-cam.
same
Agreed 😂👍🏻
I’ve been playing for over 35 years and my knowledge of the fretboard is extensive, yet there are exercises in this video that I’ve never done. I guess this old dog is gonna try and learn a new trick.

"Doesn't matter. You should be able to do both" I freaking love you Beato!
This guy is doing stuff no one else is doing on TH-cam. A deep understanding of music theory and an ear for all types and styles of music. This is good stuff
Zombie Guitar channel is decent as well, very theory based and good presentation
Yeah, don´t get me wrong, but there are TONS of videos like this one

This lesson has changed my life. Specially those high strings exercises.
Holy hell… i never knew the pentatonic could b used this way… a real eye opener, just the way to practice it makes a huge difference…thx man!
Thank you Rick for the blessed way you communicate music and musicianship. And for all of your generosity.
Never been clearer... thank you Rick.
This is the absolute best video I have found that covers not only the pentatonic scale, but how to practice it effectively. Awesome awesome content. Thanks Rick!

dude i've known the pentatonic scale for like 10 years and i never thought to practice it like this. great stuff.
I've been stuck in a rut with my guitar and this is something to really get my teeth into. Thanks Rick! xxx:)
This one video has completely transformed my playing for the better of course. Thanks much, Rick!

Rick thank you. Your lessons are the best. This is the most useful exercise on the Pentatonic minor on TH-cam.
For me, one of the most enlightening videos on you tube!!!
What a great lesson Rick, you are a great musician. Thanks so much for your videos.
What a great exercise. Sort of a game-changer for a longtime, self taught player like myself. Thanks, Rick.
Brilliant practice routine. Thank you so much, Rick.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for all you do to help others Rick. It really is appreciated.

nope I do not call it laziness. as when he interviewed tim, there were OTHER THINGS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE and you had DISTRACTIONS such as breathing.
Glad I found this one. I've been looking for a way to vary my scales practice... this looks like useful fun. Thanks.
Awesome teaching!! Thank You!!
Thank you or taking the time to do this. I am always grateful for this type of help ;)
Thousand times thank you for this lesson.
Rick, this is one of the most valuable lesson session you have offered.
Great lesson Rick. Thank you
Thank you for these videos. You have a tremendous gift for teaching.
Thank you. That answers my questions from your 'how I would relearn guitar'
thank you so much. I'm inspired.
Excellent lesson Rick. Been looking for this for a long time!
This helps me to know where all the G notes are too.
This will help my linear playing and improve my phrasing too. My horizontal playing is good in all 5 positions. It's my linear playing that suffers. This is a great exercise you've given me!

This is the best practice I have seen yet for learning and understanding the fretboard. Thank you. 🙏🏼
100% - I've been looking for a practice like this. Seems so intuitive after you see it. After just oneday my fret board movement has improved drastically.
I used to love the old Beato video !
Thank you so much for making so many of us better musicians
I can finally see where I was going wrong to get the sounds I was looking for. Thank you Rick!
Wow Rick I love it now I want to play pentatonic scales which I've been stalling thank you for this tutorial it's the best I've seen on pentatonic scales yet
Man i really love your lessons! Thank you so much for that! You are better then any other teacher I saw before!!! Awesome!!
Damn, Sam, an absolute eye opener! Position shifting has always been a real bear for me and these exercises provide a practical, melodic way to break out of old habits!
After all these years, I finally get it. Thanks Rick, awesome lesson.
Yourenthusiasm is infectious the content is clear with useful information at every step, overall it’s a totally enjoyable and inspiring experience I so appreciate your presentation and your advice. It’s been three years since I’ve touched a guitar since my stroke. There is a significant void left, but I look forward to a time when I can play again I usually think of nothing else when I am daydreaming thank you again!, so until the next time...
Been looking for these exercises all my life.
Thanks for opening my eyes to this way of pentatonic playing, teachers keep throwing me the 5 positions and tell me it’s how you solo without showing me how to apply it.
amazing lesson. i have been strugling connecting and sliding from one shape to another. u have nailed practice for this doing those groupings of 3 strings. no other practive method work as good as this for me
Awesome video! Really helps me understand more how to use the pentatonic scale! Thanks!
Just great. Keep it coming, that was very interesting in terms of giving me ideas to practice.
Very informative. Thank you!!!! Keep on Rockin in The Free World Cya Dale! !!!
Thanks Rick for this lesson. Very immportant one!
It has changed my approch to pentatonic.
One more time thank you brother!
Great lesson, found it when I needed the next boost forward. Thanks.
Super cool lesson Rick learned alot
Great stuff, Rick!
Wooow! The first video I've seen making sense right frOm begining to the end! Thank you Sir... You're really a Guitar Legend.... Let me practice this now!!!
Good practical exercises to build the mind along with the fingers.
This is a great way to practice scales, thanks for your insightful videos
Great video and lesson! I know all the positions, and can move around the fret board, but I love the two string and three string practicing. This is excellent, Rick! Really enjoying your channel and what you create for everyone!
I have been looking for ways to properly practice scales. This video popped up and wow… it really helped. The video is 5 years old, I’m a subscriber, but I just watched it.
It really lit a fire under me.
Thank you Rick!!!
Really helpful, thanks for sharing!
Only person I heard to say practice both fingerings on the scale, so true! 🙏💚
After on and off for 14 years of "playing" guitar, I've finally decided to learn the instrument correctly. This just this video, but your videos in general have helped me a lot this year!!! Thanks Rick!!!! You're the man!!
however I do still think that it is somewhat freeing to start out doing it wrong, so you eventually understand what the difference is, and why doing it right is worth it. Most of the time, but not always.
Lovely! Have some work to do know. Thank you, Rick!
I’ve been working on these for weeks but not in such an organized manner.
Great episode!!
Thanks
Thanks Rick. Really like the two string drill and the 5 note groupings are so cool sounding. Love what you do man
Well done Rick...will add this to my practice for sure
Loving your videos!
Great video Rick, loved the way you explained it all! cheers
Thank you so much for this video. Before this I was not quite able to put together the patterns with the practice to know they can work together.
This was perhaps the best lesson I could watch today lol
I just stumbled on this and this is exactly how I've taught it over the years, I love it
Good lesson as always. My advice: use a metronome and gradually increase the bps. Slow down when you make a mistake.
mistake? what is that.
I love your stuff Rick it's not solely based on the jazz type theory or the blues but a great mixture of all sorts
You never seem to stop amazing me!! Thank you again. You really help me alot!
Dude! Hands down the best video I’ve seen explaining CAGED.
Got this gist of the technique down and now I'm trying to polish and master it - thanks Rick! Love the sideways playing or vertical playing - I'm so green but I'm able to put in a few hours every day - which I do.
Thanks, Rick. I appreciate the knowledge you share.
God, you're a genius ! I wish I could have seen this years ago, now, it makes sense to me. Thank you so much for sharing your brilliance 🤘🤘
Awesome. Very useful. Thank you.
All that, and Albert King ruled with just one box...genious... i loved the lesson, i Will practice that, thanks Richard
I've never heard Albert play a lead in key... Ever. Rarely hits a note that's in key even, and I'm sure that's accidental. Ruled? Ok bud, opinions vary...
thanks for your time Rick...awesome lesson
I like the vertical two-string thing. I also like the Les Paul special!
Thank you Rick. It really put things together.
