Lol. Well the thing about the pentatonic is the skips in intervals where the penta can sound interesting instead of the generic bluesy licks we usually fall prey for in the 2 notes per string pattern. You can use them in the Diatonic or other more advanced scales but mix up your intervals (repeat the same note once or twice and revisit it for more melodic build up) with string skipping and you'll sound more musical as well.
@@RickGraham You might want to add the title to the title "scale 2 notes per string" that way if someone searches for it they can find it easily. The word "scale" included because some people have videos on 2 notes per string but they are talking about picking. This is is a unique backward motion you have. I would like to hear an advanced polished solo using this method. It could also open up a lot of improving paths but I'm not playing guitar these days. I noticed another video, from 11 years ago that has a nice 2 note per string lick but it goes forward (although only 4 notes) > Bet You Cant Play This (channel = Chris Goodchild) (description) "Basically what im doing is a 2 note per string legatto pattern. The notes are 7, 1, 3, 5 and go up 3 octaves. I finish with an A pentatonic scale finishing on the A note on the 12 fret, A string" novelty
Great lesson as always, Rick. I actually believe that learning scales using any pattern is highly detrimental. You should learn scales by playing them starting on only one string, then two, and then up to six. By doing this you will get familial with the intervals in the scale and how they "look and feel" when crossing the strings and by the end, you'll have intuitive knowledge where the intervals are and how the scale "looks" on the fretboard, and you'll be able to traverse it across any string, up and down, left or right on the fretboard. Everyone, good luck with your practicing and have a great day!
This was actually really nice Rick, I have been playing for a fairly long time but I love it when a simple idea pops up that is so musical. I notice similar things when I transcribe vocal melodies and am looking for different ways to express a melody but this made that "inherent" thing click somewhat. Thank you.
The descending scale, with a slide off the 1st finger, is one I've used for decades, because it allows the other 3 fingers to be in-play, as if you had 5 digits on the fretboard. Cello players do actually use the thumb on top too, but you need a different LH positioning on guitar, to make that work.
This is fantastic! What a fun way to practice connecting the visual and audible elements of major scales and their relationships to chord and positioning. Killer!
Thank you for your perspective. I never thought to make playing notes backward and down on the fretboard a standard method of guitar playing. I was headed for a 3 note per string tutorial. I think 3 note per string is kind of inherent trying to play all the notes in a single position reaching forward. I shifted gears and come here since you don’t get better doing what everyone else is doing.
Thank you Rick for this lesson. You teach pretty well, even a fench guy from Canada can easily understand your videos. Always keeping me motivated to grab my guitar and play something different. 😎✌️
I've been practicing two notes per string patterns for a while and would start with 4 notes per string now. Thanks Rick and have a nice Sunday ahead! Yes, the idea of a streaming service sounds interesting. Thanks again champ!
Gonna have to report you to the Music Police, the 2 note per string is given has a gift not for the masses. Same with the soul scale, Harmonic pentatonic and diminished pentatonic not for the masses, it like Kung fu secrets.
Awesome! I know what I’m playing around with today! I remember a Satriani lesson years ago about playing the same notes across all strings across the board and I always loved the sound and fun of doing that.
I've been working on this kind of concept for a few years now. I'm certainly a product of the 3 note per string generation of play, and I'll say the thing I've noticed about doing specifically two notes per string is that the timbre of each note sounds more balanced. When playing in a single position, there is always a pretty dramatic change in tone when going from the D string to the G string, but if you move back on the fingerboard as you're going up in pitch, it keeps a more balanced tone. IMO. I've been messing around with 2 and 4 note per string, and making combinations between 2, 3, and 4 note per string concepts together. Really just freshens up the perspective of the scales and really inspires new ideas. Great video Rick.
Wow, awesome. Every lesson that shows me a whole new way to think of the fretboard is a great lesson. “You should be able to play all the modes by ear”-but no, that’s a bit lofty a goal for mortals.
these look like great exercises for all the reasons you say, plus, for me it will help learn the fretboard. i've been practicing 3NPS for years and can never remember them!!
all of your guitars you own have great tones whatever software/gear you're using. The single coil pickups sound beefy enough but still single coily and bright and very nice...
Rick- you are a good dude. You’re doing great things for the guitar community and you’re an excellent teacher. I often talk about the risks of only using 3nps scales to my students (I use them all the time, but not exclusively) and I feel like this video does a great job at explaining some of that. Keep up that great work my friend. Cheers
Would love to see yours lessons / courses streamed, I so much prefer monthly affordable payments to check stuff, and ofc later if something is good would still consider having it on my hard drive :)
I was messing about with tuning and fell on a nice 2 note per string pattern for both major and minor scale I took of the top and bottom E strings , which left me with 4 strings Then tuned a minor 3rd interval then a major 3rd , then finally another minor 3rd I think ! It was definitely interesting
just when I learned the 7 modes and started to feel comfortable moving up and down the fretboard!! back to square one again! Great video anyway Rick!!!! I´ll start right away practicing it!
been there, just enjoy your journey without rushing through , you sound like needing to know a lot in order to find satisfaction in your playing, find what you like and makes sense to you. Testing ideas and refining own systems takes very long time. And after a while new ideas may bring you to older ideas and systems through a different route, and enhance them, then you know you tapped into something worth treasuring.
not three, but two instead I did this concept in my mid teen years, it just helps you memorise the neck much deeper same with the extended pentatonic with 3 per string, dominant pentatonic it is not related to creative process of music, where scales have merely 10% significant role (at least to me)
Multiple approaches allows us to see more possibilities and allows more opportunity for creative playing. I had seen these two approaches (2NPS, 4NPS) separately as well as the idea of directionally, but they’re cool to see together. Great lesson, Rick!
FordScales II, chromatic, six note per string starting on A and Eb, alternating... I wouldn’t be able to play without it. Great for getting through bop charts... Thanks for helping break the world out of the 3nps vs caged, inane debate! 2nps goodness!!! And hope you are doing extremely well, Sir Rick! Best, Daniel 🤙🏼
Hey Rick what preset (amp/cab combo) you using on axe FX II? Cheers m8 Edit: maybe anyone else that could awnser this question? Really appreciate it.... been curious for quite some time and asked it a couple of times..
You're probably going to ask for cab IR and I would advise to use whatever normally pairs well with a hot-rodded Marshall - V30, G12-65 Creamback ... In the end use your ears
@@slot2 you can also play that as much as you want but these exercises will provide you nothing. You have to extract what is creating the effect the essence lies there.
Regardless of hand size/finger length, I suggest using 4 fingers to fret 4 notes per string scales at first, then apply sliding later. These are called "cello fingerings." Practice releasing tension from each finger and applying energy like a bouncing ball from finger to finger when working through scales. Work 3 notes per string scales, 4 notes per string, and 2 notes per string arpeggios: M7, m7, Mm7, mM7, m7b5 (diminished), and M7b5 (half diminished). Then move on to suspensions and extensions for your arpeggios (sus2, sus4, 6ths, 9ths). Using a software to input notes (or TAB, if that's your thing) is extremely useful for gathering a plan for your practice routine. Study hard so you can play easily. Chopin wrote, "Simplicity is the highest goal" which is true in any subject of study. antjamnow.com
You're an excellent technician but I think your guitar tone could use an overhaul. That amount of gain obliterates hearing the natural tone of the instrument at the same time lending only a very thin , tinny tone, lacking body. Not hating, just lending my opinion! Great instructional videos👍 your playing is very tasty and, your technique is just excellent as well 👍 Cheers
Ohh God ..... Great thing for learning... As i play the scale of your way a new way has formed in front of my eyes. How nicely i go from a position to another.
I always come to your videos for inspiration but by the end I just want to give up!! Lol but it doesn’t stop me from coming back to your channel time and time again.
Really enjoyed this lesson Rick. This opens up the ear in an easy to understand way (to me) like the pentatonic or blues licks do. Normally I just add the notes of a diatonic scale to either the pentatonic scale or a modified version of it. This is cool because it opens the sound up to my ear without having to use that sort of system and it's easier to make music ideas from. Thanks Rick
I have a problem with my left hand due to old damage I made to it, so when possible I always try to avoid 3 notes per string when it is "whole step - whole step". So I love two notes per string techniques
I was never a fan scale positions that forced a 5 fret stretch, even tho I was taught them that way. All the 7 modes can be placed in nice positions that allow the hand to sit over a 4 fret stretch , although sometimes that 4 fret stretch has to move over a fret , but it’s still more comfortable and natural. A lot of the time i enjoy having more 4 fingers in a 3 fret stretch because it just feels so good. I tend to think most of us would be much more suited to a shorter scale length . I am about 6 foot tall with average size hands and although I’ve always played 25 1/2 inch scale guitars ive come to accept it’s just not the right scale for me. Hard to admit being a fender guy
@@ourclarioncall 3 notes per string are very convenient for fast legato phrases. I just realized, that in spite of my problem with left hand, I still don't have any short-scale guitars! Good reason to buy a new one )))
@@SergeiVlassov sorry, I should say , I love 3 notes per string And even over 5+ frets I think it’s still a good tool to have in your tool box. Makes you think and play differently You have my encouragement to go buy guitars 😄
@@SergeiVlassov yes sir ! I remember the first time I played a Jaguar, I was really impressed at how comfy it was, how well it balanced on the body and how much easier to play with the frets being closer
I found economy picking from the 2nd note down to the 3rd note of the previous or adjacent string makes the 3nps faster and provides more options at the turn around.
This kind of reminds me of Steve Vai's trick where he plays the same note all over the neck at high speed, to a non guitarist it looks cool and to anyone who's played a guitar its a damn fast impressive trick! The pitch increasing as the hand moves the "wrong" way across the neck is quite tasty! Anyway I've got a new thing to practice for sure, thanks man!
Great lesson, Rick! Clear, succinct, and easy to digest, but most importantly...interesting. I know what I am gonna work on this weekend...besides my stupid thesis paper, of course. lol.😅
Re: modes. I get how they're derived (i.e. Dorian as 2nd scale degree to the 2nd an octave higher) but do you have any tips on how to understand them contextually? Like, when to use them, when you can switch... modal interchange. Borrowed chords etc. Would love to see something on that. Sorry if you've already done it & I missed it*
Took me 45 years to discover 3 notes and felt like I understood and could do it. The next day I ran into this (Stop). By the time I achieve this excercise, I probably can't hear, see and walk. But I will try!
My opinion is: Just learn the fretboard, the notes and start with the root note of any scale anywhere on the fretboard. 3-NPS, 4-NPS, 7-NPS, Modes, moving scales up and down, 3, 4, 5 or more positions on the fretboard whatever ... use the fretboard and your ears, just feel free! 😁🎸
Your videos always inspire me to pick up my guitar and play 😊 then I realise that I am shit cos I don't practice enough and I'll never sound as good as you do 😢 I wish I'd put more effort in when I was younger and had all the time in the world
I like doing this but one fretted note and one open note, aka cascade scales kinda thing, sounds really nice but only works in certain positions obviously.
@@HarryS77 ahhh, I've heard cascade or waterfall scales, but didn't know the classical term, this is a good video of what I mean: th-cam.com/video/sK7zZc2-73A/w-d-xo.html

Your videos always inspire me to pick up my guitar and play 😊 then I realise that I am shit cos I don't practice enough and I'll never sound as good as you do 😢 I wish I'd put more effort in when I was younger and had all the time in the world
Beautiful Charvelle, Rick. ☮️
Very cool. Fun to do.
I like doing this but one fretted note and one open note, aka cascade scales kinda thing, sounds really nice but only works in certain positions obviously.
Campanella.
@@HarryS77 is that the name of a technique or a song?
@@SoupieGuitar What you described as cascade scales are sometimes called campanella scales.
@@HarryS77 ahhh, I've heard cascade or waterfall scales, but didn't know the classical term, this is a good video of what I mean:
