Lesson 3 - The Dumb Machine

You've learned that most of what goes on in music goes on in YOUR MIND. The guitar is just the TOOL you use to express the language. But how does the chromatic scale actually play out on the fretboard of the guitar?

[@Wegelius.]

My mind is blown. This is the first time I’m actually excited about practicing a scale because I understand it.

This is the instructor I have needed since I was 16.

[@benji_thetree]

I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna master this dumb machine

[@DrymouthCWW]

Me too man!

[@totalannihilation9065]

To come across something like this when I'm starting to get serious about playing guitar is amazing.
This should be shown or recommend to every beginner

[@dharmendrathacker165]

Yeah, you are right 👍. We should inform other Guitar oriented persons about this.

this man might be a genius. And he's hilarious. Teacher gold.

You're a legend. This is the most helpful lesson course I've found in years. Thank you very much for posting

[@queifjay]

I've been playing the guitar for an embarrassingly long time for this kind of information to finally reach my brain in a succinct manner. Really enjoying this series so far, thanks Scotty!

[@dharmendrathacker165]

You are absolutely right Scott Sir ; in last 5 to 6 years I have gone through a lot of Guitar Theories and Tutorials but have never come across such so useful basic concepts and secrets of the Guitar 🎸 !!! Voooooowww..!! Amazing man, Amaaazziiiing...!!! God bless you so much 🙏👍👌

What a good teacher!

[@MichaliSarris]

I'm just 3 months into learning guitar and extremely glad someone pointed me to this series. Going to watch it all, already 3 episodes in. Thank you very much!

Absolute gold - i never knew thats why the guitar was tuned in 4ths because of 4 fingers.

[@lucaslimadellaflora]

Watched on 08/13/24. Definitly an amazing dumb machine damn

[@kevinswierzbiolek4966]

Changed my guitar holding position and can now reach 4 frets without finger and shoulder pain

[@kdubatx1]

I like the way you have the index shifts and pinky shifts organized for ascending and descending. I have been going back and forth between these with less consideration

[@sergebraida5622]

The best sentence I ever heard to remember standard tuning is this. Eddie Ate Dynamite. Good Bye Eddie!

[@julesdegiulio2565]

My teacher uses "Every Acid Dealer Gets Busted Eventually". Not necessarily family oriented, but given the right audience, quite effective!

[@slowswimmer9169]

how do you like that?

[@Srobinson102]

LOL. I had no idea on why guitars were tuned in 4ths... so embarrasing!

[@marktaiman2934]

Anybody thinking of nameimg the notes as they do the scale? Lol

[@keenang4705]

If im more comfortable doing the pinky shift each time instead of the index finger, will it mess me up further down the road or will it not make a difference?

[@dareelevi9945]

Wonder how he's doing now...

[@gh1985ify]

Modern day version of Scotty does the intro before each lesson!
