Mr Renman you have a great teaching style. Your measured gentler pace really helps get the nuances in the music. Thanks also for taking the time to get a great sound not just in the guitar but your voice too. There is "Space" in your style and music. Thanks very much. Masterguitaracademy is well titled.
An excellent example of a really great lesson, you articulate the theory so well and simplify things so nicely for us mere mortals. Thanks again for sharing this lesson 😀🎸
I thank you. This has been my struggle with boxes. And I appreciate you covering this. Aside from this video and your suggestions to fiddle with, do you have any visual aids for exercises in connecting the boxes ? Sometimes it's difficult for me to really see what another guitarist is doing with their fingers.
Good video, Robert. I'm going to work on this over a jam track. I find it easier to learn the whole natural minor scale and drop out or add notes if need be (maj 6, etc). Memorizing the shortcuts seemed disconnected from scales.
moving to the 5th backward from the 2nd position, could be made into a cool slide from say the D at the 7th fret to the B(first finger) or even the Bflat,followed by a downward bend then hammering onto the B(second finger) at it's release(or as a trill) as a positional change...the 2nd and 3rd position notes offer a lot of targets to BEND into also!
In 1982 I discovered the 3rd box of the E minor Pentatonic scale when I discovered the Bowie song She Shook Me Cold off the MWSTW album. Sadly, there was f*** all else to back this discovery up - no internet, no specialised publications or Tab books and TH-cam wasn't even a twinkle in its creator's eye.
What's the model name of the Suhr guitar that you're using in this video? Could you provide a list of the hardware on this particular guitar? It has an incredible sound! I really appreciate you taking the time to do these tutorials. You're helping me get out of my rut. For that, I want to thank you!
@@Dolphinstreets Mr. Renman I just wanted you to know you have an exceptional knack for teaching this stuff and getting the point across in a clear, concise manner. You and also David W., the both of you have a great gift. I tried my hand at teaching guitar back in '74 for four years at a Southern California Music store. So, I can tell you from experience that it's "hard but rewarding" work. Also, I took lessons from some great guitar players like Ted Greene, Joe Pass, and my friend Lenny Breau who showed me a lot of things but it was hard for me to understand and play at that time (still is, ha! ha!). I only mention these wonderful people to add credibility to what I'm saying here, that you in fact are a "great teacher" and that you are "greatly appreciated" in the guitar community. That is why I'm thanking you, Sir.
You are genias Robert I am one of your fan and student you connecting it by shifting your hand. I am stil recovering from that nasty motorcycle accident
I already had the shapes down. I've been practicing playing along to backing tracks to get used to moving between the different shapes. It's a slow process but i'm starting to see them quicker. I don't want to just see them though i want to feel them. I want them permanently engrained. I've been trying to practice moving between them without looking at the fret board. Also i play along to other keys then the one im most familiar with which is A minor because i don't want to be stuck on just those same frets. I've been trying to practice 1-2 hours a day.
Hey Robert my good man running pentatonic scales and phrases on a video like this is fantastic but without a click like a metronome it doesn't teach the upcoming musicians how to work within time this observation not no criticism continue to shine on man
Robert, I'll admit I'm being somewhat lazy (I could easily look this up) but, you assume I know the Notes of the Em Pentatonic Scale and that I know the concept of Boxes.
same notes as Gmaj pentatonic. looking it up, printing it out and playing the 5 patterns over and over give you best recall, better than a verbal answer and the boxes will reveal themselves(4 notes make a box)Robert calls the 5 patterns boxes
I draw inspiration from a lot of different sources, but would never reply that I preferred another on what is basically a free site. You're not just a dork, you're a bunghole too!
I do not think in terms of box shapes. The whole fretboard is one big shape, in which you can freely move about without thinking about 5 boxes. That's the point here. Do not get locked into these 5 individual boxes as standalone units - they are not. They are part of a bigger picture. That picture is worth knowing properly.
OK, now hit the b5 .... right NOW! Oops, you can't. Why? Because you're playing patterns, not intervals. Patterns tell you the legal notes. Play them and you are boring but at least you don't completely suck. Intervals free you. Play all over the neck. Up, down, back, forth, upside down, it's all very easy. Play any scale or mode easily, all without any boxes. When you're really playing guitar, you know exactly what scale degree you're playing at every instant. When you want to hit that b5 or b3, you know exactly where it is.
Great lessons I guess if you already know how to play. Good player but takes no time to show you how to do what he is playing. If you are a beginner you are just watching fingers fly and slide around and learn nothing.
to learn you need guitar tricks, or even fender play...this stuff..for beginners, means nothing without practice...all these random videos are the same...you have to understand one thing at a time..one scale in one position, before going all over the fretboard with the fancy vibrato and bending crap....doesn't teach a thing.
Great lesson from great teacher..
Really appreciate the quality and delivery of your videos, Robert. It's clear that you've put a lot of thought and work into these.
This is so helpful just as you said i was stuck from moving one box to another and this video helped me tremendously to break free from it. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Just cam across you and love the way you explain everything. Much easier to understand than others I've watched. Thank you!

+Bill Van Lammeren I do put in a lot of work. Glad you noticed.
Robert is the best guy on the net to teach you licks.
Beautiful melody and very good lesson. Thanks from Indonesia.
An excellent example of a really great lesson, you articulate the theory so well and simplify things so nicely for us mere mortals.
Thanks again for sharing this lesson 😀🎸
Freedom, I'll work on it!!! Thanks Robert.☺️
So glad that I found this lesson. i know that this will help me in my playing. I needed this kind of instruction. Thanks so much Robert.!!!
+Julie Ferrari thanks Julie! I sent you a message about finding a teacher. If you didn't get it, email me from my website.
The importance of playing melodically is sooooooo important. Thank you.
i study many players this guy is so tasteful. amazing
Great lesson, helps out a lot for beginners like me who's looking for proper technique to improve
Very interesting !!!
Thanks, Robert !!!
Lovely tone

Your guitar sounds so good thanks Rob
It should...it costs about $4000+!!! Suhrs are very good guitars!!
Mine was only 1500 used.
Good video, Robert. I'm going to work on this over a jam track. I find it easier to learn the whole natural minor scale and drop out or add notes if need be (maj 6, etc). Memorizing the shortcuts seemed disconnected from scales.
Excellent masterclass. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!

You're a good guitar teacher Sir!
Wonderful! Thank you very much, my friend! :) Have a wonderful weekend! ❤ Best regards from London.
Cool' that's really added an extension to my play in the minor scales awesome '' 🎵🎵🎶
Great lesson Robert! I really appreciate your videos.
+Brent Noury great to hear!
The best guitar teacher !!! so good.
+powerbylight futureisnow thanks!
man that guitar sounds great
hey thnx Robert...i was just practicing minor pantatonic scale . improvising a minor pantatonic
.and suddenly i got notification from your channel...
Very helpful Thanks!
THANK YOU!
genial gracias
pretty simple idea, but one of the most important things to start playing for real...
I like watching your vids Robert, you're like the Bob Ross of the music world
A little scattered, but Rob's great. I'd suggest hummin'/scattin' along with the note to get a "freelyer" vocal style. Freelier?
Thanks man
i think this one also good lesson for soloing and improvisation s..
In 1982 I discovered the 3rd box of the E minor Pentatonic scale when I discovered the Bowie song She Shook Me Cold off the MWSTW album.

great lesson👍
Nice lesson nice tone nice shirt!

Suhr Pro C1 - I used Toontrack's Blues Guitars amp pack for the tone.
That is what I have been thinkung I need to do next. 🤔😁
Go for it
Excellent lesson. Thank you
Thank you.
You're welcome!

You are genias Robert I am one of your fan and student you connecting it by shifting your hand. I am stil recovering from that nasty motorcycle accident
Thanks my friend. I hope you recover fully!
excellent video
Thanks for good lesson, good teacher I have on youtube, sorry for my english

Mission Impossible - nice
Thumbs Up!!
Thank you!!

Nicely explained and demonstrated. Thanks 8 )
More vocal like approach. Dig, well phrased.
Thank you, Robert. I like... need, the KISS learning system: Keep It Simple Stupid. I'm talking about me.
how to bring out tone soul minor feelings?
If the chord change you change the scale right?
Not necessarily. Depends on the chord.
Robert Renman Oke, what chords you can use over e minor scale How do you now? by ear or looking for traids thats fits in the scale?
Google it. See for example www.guitar-chords.org.uk/chords-key-e-minor.html
Jean Luke piccard of the starship enterprise
James Hunter Nah this is Joe Satriani🙄
Is that the same Em scale in each of those boxes?
Chali Q yes, they're all the same notes. Just in different spots on the fretboard.
Whats freelier???
Not confined open and breezy
learn the boxes then learn to connect them then forget the boxes but dont forget the connection :)
Your comment nailed it! You read my mind and then added "dont forget the connection!".. This is now my mantra..on to the next level! Thanks
thanks for this lesson, btw that's a Nice shirt
Excellent....-:))
HOOWAH!
👍 😎

OK, I took the time to find what I needed. Great printout here: www.freeguitarsource.com/files/e_minor_pentatonic_all_patterns.pdf
GREAT..
Practice as a Minor 7th arpeggio
I love your lessons, but the method that really clicked with me was The Never Lost Pentatonic by StitchMethod.
your a dork..
I draw inspiration from a lot of different sources, but would never reply that I preferred another on what is basically a free site. You're not just a dork, you're a bunghole too!
Dang no I just do not get it. Aren't you just utilizing the 5 box shapes as usual of each key. I don't understand how this is any different than that.
I do not think in terms of box shapes. The whole fretboard is one big shape, in which you can freely move about without thinking about 5 boxes. That's the point here. Do not get locked into these 5 individual boxes as standalone units - they are not. They are part of a bigger picture. That picture is worth knowing properly.
Ok thank you that makes a lot more sense now.
I found that there are 5 ways to play the same thing, but only 3 of them are easy to play and 2 are not.
People think they are good teachers. But lesson need break down and explained in easy segment
Freelier ha ha ha
Why is everyone here on a first name bases
+JDolande hello J!
OK, now hit the b5 .... right NOW!
Oops, you can't. Why? Because you're playing patterns, not intervals.

When you're really playing guitar, you know exactly what scale degree you're playing at every instant. When you want to hit that b5 or b3, you know exactly where it is.
Don't say which fret number he is fingering. Not a good lesson
Great lessons I guess if you already know how to play. Good player but takes no time to show you how to do what he is playing. If you are a beginner you are just watching fingers fly and slide around and learn nothing.
Too bad a good practice video is being interrupted by a political add. What a shame.
That's one ugly guitar,but you my friend make it look so cool
