I really appreciate your framing of the lesson! It’s amazing how many folks are touting “5 easy tricks” and you avoid all those gimmicks. love how you present the scale, mapping root to root, and provide scale exercises with application principle. Great work! I just subscribed!
I typically don’t comment on guitar lesson videos, but this one, as well as your other videos deserve massive praise. I never was motivated to learn scales. I finally decided it was time. Months ago I watched your scale video on natural Major and Minor scales, learned them using this method. Took awhile but it eventually stuck. Now I can solo outside of the pentatonic boxes I was stuck in. I enjoy neoclassical music and came to your page to find this video. This method works if you out in a little bit of time. And i manage to land on the roots when i am playing because it’s hardwired into my brain now. Great lesson!
Thank you for the several relavant series of lessons that you have been putting up on your incredible channel. I highly appreciate the simplicity and your clarity that your bring about through these lessons. I will soon be going through each of your TH-cam lessons, right from the very first one...
definitely an off the 6 type of guy here, just quicker to process and see no advantage if the results are the same for the chords. glad im not the only one.
Exactly what I was looking for. I have charts for this scale but I couldn't quite suss out how to chop them up. Also great explanation of breaking down the theory and how to apply quickly. Subscribed.
Ok, i think you're really good at teaching this. I'm all in. I've been a little stuck in major and minor pentatonics for a long while. Now i have another scale to learn. Thanks.
Great lesson. I just stumbled across your website and I have to say I've looked at many and I think you have the best teaching. Just wanted to let you know and I hope you get a lot of viewers because of your teaching method. Thank you again it's really appreciated.
Thanks ... I found that interesting and helpful. Sometimes I employ the 'Hyper Mode' concept / a 5th below Tonic pass the Tonic to a 4th above Tonic, for interest.
The one string approach gives such a physical and spatial feel for the scale that you can internalize it easily. Playing scales vertically (across the neck) makes that very hard to feel.
Thank you Jared, am just beginning to study the chord structures and scales built from the hms and was struggling with the positions. Is there somewhere I can find a pdf of these that appeared on screen during the tutorial. All best.
Sure thing! I have a free pdf download packet of the seven most important scale types to know, each in five positions on the fretboard (these harmonic minor scale forms are in there). You can download it here: www.soundguitarlessons.com/scales. Thanks for asking
If you play the harmonic minor over a dom 7th chord or a major third in the major context you get a small window to play the scale , can you play the harmonc minor scale over any other chords in a chord progression ??? Thanks in advance
I do t know if you will see this post or not but here it goes! Well I play guitar but to be honest if you was to tell me let’s start off in A at the second bar I wouldn’t know what you was even talking about , I just , well play, rock mostly, I see and hear my short comings in my playing , I know you can’t be told how I’m playing unless you hear it so if you are curious and like to give some constructive criticism I’d would appreciate it very much
I’m pretty sure it’s cause it’s a 5 note scale position based on a pentatonic scale. Like the 5 caged major shapes. The 3nps scale shape gives you all seven inversions of the scales thou
It’s impressive how quickly you talk but are still super clear and don’t spit or trip over your syllables. You considered being a rapper or auctioneer?
I don't understand the point of learning a bunch of positions when you can internalize the sound of the scale in one octave then use your ears to create your own pathways. Keeps you from being locked into position based playing.
To each their own my friend. My hats off to any approach that works for anyone to learn anything. The scale shapes and positions in this way is one of the methods that works for me and one of the ways I teach it. I do enjoy working on the same material from as many angles as possible as well if it's something that I want to know as deeply as possible. I also have and teach exercises for how to freely connect between the scale forms to play between them and connect seamlessly throughout the whole fretboard without getting stuck in any position (I have a video about that coming up in the near future). I agree that this is one way to work on scales among many and none of them are right or wrong or better or worse. And every person is different in terms of what works best for them. It sounds like you have a great internal ear if you're able to follow the structure of a new scale by ear like that. That's fantastic! But that's not a viable starting point (or even middle point) for most people. If you think it would be helpful to show that there are many ways to work on these things I can post a video presenting the approach you're talking about to demonstrate a contrasting method that may be helpful for some people, especially those who hear pitches very clearly in their head. I appreciate your feedback/comments so thank you for sharing your thoughts. All the best -Jared :)

Been playing guitar for 14 years and here i am learning this thanks it was easy to understand . Done and Subscribed !
This is so clear. It's pure gold for me. Thanks

Very helpful video - thank you; I was looking for the "next step" scale to focus on beyond the major scale. This is what I was looking for --
Awesome, I'm so happy it was what you were looking for!

Hi
From Thailand. Really helpful lessons Thanks!
definitely an off the 6 type of guy here, just quicker to process and see no advantage if the results are the same for the chords. glad im not the only one.
Right on Bob, thanks! :)
@@soundguitar if you remember me, you can call me dave.
Exactly what I was looking for. I have charts for this scale but I couldn't quite suss out how to chop them up. Also great explanation of breaking down the theory and how to apply quickly. Subscribed.
You've turned into my favourite music theory channel. Felt like I should share that :)))
These lessons are amazing, Keep it up, the subs will come, some of the best lessons i've seen.
Wow thanks for the encouragement, Alistair! Cheers -Jared
Ok, i think you're really good at teaching this. I'm all in. I've been a little stuck in major and minor pentatonics for a long while. Now i have another scale to learn. Thanks.
Thanks so much! Glad to help you get unstuck :)
@@soundguitar Thanks, what chord progression would one play this over? a C minor? Anything else?
I started listening to you today. I,m enjoying your lessons. I have a new take on scales now. Thanks
Wonderful!
Thanks!
Wow thanks so much! 🙏 :) That's very kind.
Great lesson. I just stumbled across your website and I have to say I've looked at many and I think you have the best teaching. Just wanted to let you know and I hope you get a lot of viewers because of your teaching method. Thank you again it's really appreciated.
Thanks Jared , that’s interesting lesson for me to pick bits out of 👍🏼
Thanks, Lovat! Glad you found some bits in there :) -Jared
Your videos are extremely valuable, thank you! One of the best channels out there, for sure.
Thank you! 🙏
You’re a really good teacher. And actually make the harmonic minor look cool on a telly lol
I love your lesson
It's clear to understand
Thanks ... I found that interesting and helpful.
Sometimes I employ the 'Hyper Mode' concept / a 5th below Tonic pass the Tonic to a 4th above Tonic, for interest.
Nice! that's a cool concept. Glad you found the lesson helpful!

Thanks for the lesson
You're welcome! :)
it's a best quality lesson thank you
Now I am addicted to improvise in harmonic minor scale thanks 👍
Nice! :)
Great leason. Do you have the 5 box position shown innthe video as a pdf? Great leason
Great tutorial.
Great stuff!
Thank you Jared, am just beginning to study the chord structures and scales built from the hms and was struggling with the positions.

awesome video man thanks so much
Glad you liked it!
solid teaching
Many thanks, Terry
Again really great information and well presented. You nail the theory quickly and signpost advanced concepts that show pathways ahead
Thanks, Mitch! :) Glad you liked it
If you play the harmonic minor over a dom 7th chord or a major third in the major context you get a small window to play the scale , can you play the harmonc minor scale over any other chords in a chord progression ??? Thanks in advance
Very helpful
Do i need to know all the shapes, or i can learn just one and move it for other keys?
You can just learn one and move it other keys to start with for sure
Am confused! In pentatonic scale the root note is the first note to play,right? in the harmonic scale what determines the root note ??
Thank you
So, to raise the 7th in this scale is C#?
hey just a heads up if yall are wondering why when you look up the scale it isn't the same it's because this one is based on the note of C.
Aren't the five positions just recombinations of the same (five) single string fragments? See the S'FS String Fragments System'...
Cheers, Hermann
I do t know if you will see this post or not but here it goes! Well I play guitar but to be honest if you was to tell me let’s start off in A at the second bar I wouldn’t know what you was even talking about , I just , well play, rock mostly, I see and hear my short comings in my playing , I know you can’t be told how I’m playing unless you hear it so if you are curious and like to give some constructive criticism I’d would appreciate it very much

why is there not seven patterns only five

I’m pretty sure it’s cause it’s a 5 note scale position based on a pentatonic scale. Like the 5 caged major shapes. The 3nps scale shape gives you all seven inversions of the scales thou
Buttsac
The othe 2 shapes are extensions
It’s because the patterns interconnect with each other. The patterns of CAGED are not related to the spelling of the major scale
It’s impressive how quickly you talk but are still super clear and don’t spit or trip over your syllables. You considered being a rapper or auctioneer?

So Bach's Toccata & Fuge in Dm was a harmonic minor scale? ... well, there you go 🙂

Look at his response… you should apologize. You hit a nerve 😂
Nah the original comment is dumb and shows dude doesn’t know his shit or what he’s talking about. He prolly can’t ready anything.
The one octave approach is better if you actually want fretboard freedom.
Guy gives me anxiety. Talks to fast moves to fast.
