D'you know how nice it is to hear someone who's not shredding, but playing music? Subscribed.
Thank you!
I couldn’t agree more. To me all the shredding is just useless musical gymnastics with no soul. Jack makes music with soul and he can teach like nobody’s business.
Precisely!🇺🇲🎯💯💥💯🎯🇺🇲
Its all about the story on a instrument.
Yee'Up!
Your lessons are some of the best out there in helping us get out of the pentatonic rut with amazingly tasty phrasing ideas. Thank you so much.
Glad you like them!
Christ, what an extremely nice and relaxed individual ! How smooth can a guitar lesson be ? He must be a gourmet chef on the side ! Stay Positive!
This man must be protected at all costs
Thank you for trying to teach the unteachable....taste! You're awesome
I've been playing for a long time (much longer than TH-cam's been around). These lessons are fantastic. What a great player.
Glad you like them!
I mean, I just love this channel and as a teacher Jack is right at the top of the pile. Any fool can put up some lessons on TH-cam but to teach, motivate, inspire and explain concepts in a way that really works is a whole different story. Apart from anything else, isn't that just one of the most beautiful, killer guitar tones you've ever heard?!?
Thank you!!!
The best bite sized delivery for getting this sound in your head and under your fingers. Thank you, THANK you Jack.
wow. been playing 20 years, this is just amazing. tone, feel, everything. nice job
Dude. I've been learning guitar on TH-cam for over a decade. Your videos are some of the best. Exactly what I needed.
Awesome! Thank you!
What a great lesson! Simply explained yet very thorough. Just what I needed. Thanks a lot Jack! 🙏🏽
I am a music teacher my self and you humble me Jack Ruch. You are a great pedagogue! Keep up the good work!
That tone is A1 👍. The "in context" is highly useful. Some people talk so long you forget what it's even supposed to sound like. Subscribed.
Thanks Bryan!
Great sound and feel! I really appreciate the use of space in your solos 👍
Jack, superb. Youve got a great tone and touch. Thanks for your clarity and generosity
I have been looking for someone like you all of my life. Finally-something I can understand and get me out of the riffs I am so ingrained in. THANK YOU, Mr. Ruch!!
Thanks Steve!
Always find gold in your lessons! I'm finally getting my head around some of the more jazz concepts and this and ii-V-I turnarounds from your lessons has been an absolute game changer. Thanks Jack!!
Thanks Jimmy!
What a great feel 💯💥 Somebody someday will do a successful 10 part series on FEEL. I pick Jack. The world would be a better place because TH-cam players desperately need to learn the vibe.
Love your relaxed, calm voice.
You are a class act Sir. Thank you for sprinkling your talents on TH-cam, we all appreciate it. Tremendous playing. Greetings from Edinburgh, Scotland 😊
Thank you kindly!
Very good lesson Jack, it all boils down to a good melodic outside phrase which resolves logicly to a good chord note, you explain it beautiful and with logic, thanks Vic
Thank you Vic!
Thank you Jack, lovely and simple way to learn from you
Oh God, I really love your tone and feel! Reminds me of the love for the instrument, which I need to rediscover and your videos help a great deal! 🙏
VERY helpful! Great practical examples that gave me an understanding of how the altered scale is used. I also learned a lot from the non-altered parts. Thanks!
One of the best teachers out there, practical, musical, well explained. Given the speed picking youtube vids a miss. These musical ideas and demos priceless.
Thank you Rob!
Another clear explanation with useful application. Right on!
You're really helping me jazz up my blues Jack, thanks 😀
Awesome! Thanks John
I rotate through a selection of your lessons again and again hoping to get some of the info burned in. Each time I revisit one I pick it up a little quicker. Thanks for constructing such great lessons and sharing your knowledge. It's not lost on me.
Love this video and how you teach!Super important to perceive the altered scale in terms of the dominant chord that you’re on. My two “quick cheats” for the altered scale are thinking whole tone scale between the third up to the root Or the more commonly taught one(also more complete) melodic minor starting a half step above the root. That being said I totally believe understanding it relative to the chord you’re on is what gives meaning to it. Thanks for a great and clear lesson
You are so THE MAN! Love your videos and I learn a lot of cool stuff from them. I have played guitar professionally for over 50 years now, but you have stuff under your sleeve that really blows wind up my skirt! Thanks Jack.
That is awesome! Thanks
Thanks for this lesson Jack.
Very cool, and accessible.
I’ll be using this soon.
Thx again
🪕✌️
You hit on exactly the problem: how to start very simply introducing the scale and in the right places. Like it, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, Jack, all the way from Italy, for another excellent, inspiring and awesome lesson on the blues. Pentatonic, diminished and altered scales become clear concepts under your guidance.
Tasty tasty Jack! Another winner. Thank you for taking the time and breaking it down. Some serious wood shedding to do!
Thanks Tom!
Hello Jack! I am one of your new Patreon subscribers and I’m loving your soulful music and crystal clear instruction. Thank you so much! ❤️
Awesome, thank you!
As soon as I heard the first few notes and the sweet tone and lovely playing, Subscribed. Lovely playing and nicely explained.
You ARE an educator! Loved this post. It spurred me to buy your shades of blues course. Just what I needed to put it all together. I got it now!!! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
One of the best lessons I've ever seen on using the altered scale. Thank you!
Awesome, thank you!
I have come to realize that you are a treasure with the knowledge you share with us. Thank you.
You are very welcome
Beautiful as always Jack..working through your videos has TOTALLY transformed the way I approach my playing,studies and listening..as I am such a theory virgin I have to concentrate so hard but when I do make progress I am really proud of myself..😊😊 once again thankyou from the bottom of my ♥️ love,peace & happiness
Thank you Kevin! I'm glad to hear that
What a great lesson. I've struggled with how to use the altered scale for so long...especially when it comes to timing, note choice, and being able to hear and identify the "altered" sound. This lesson broke things down into just the right amount of information to get anyone headed in the right direction. Would love to see this concept expanded into a TrueFire series. The first series was extremely helpful. Thanks for taking the time to create these little gems.
You're very welcome!
Great lesson, tasty licks.
This is very good. Thanks Jack. I'll try to internalize this.
This lesson really improve my playing! Thanks a lot!
Man such great lessons!
Thank you Robert! Love your channel
Hey Robert and Jack! Rob is here hey, who would've thunkded it!?! Great scale to use. Cheers.
I mostly come here to watch you play. The lessons are great too.
Aw MAN at 3 minutes in...... I totally understand intervals, but never connected the value of knowing by rote those intervals in transposition...... huge thanks. I've as so typically found transposition to be something best avoided unless absolutely necessary. This just opened up the doors and windows :)
THAT TONE!! Thank you for this, Mr. Ruch!! God Bless You!! 🙏
Thanks for listening
Excellent lesson.. thank you so much for the lesson.. Love it.😊
Another really well presented lesson Jack! Nice one!👍
Glad you liked it!
Every lesson of yours is pure gold! Love your tasty phrasing! Greetings from Italy 👍👍
Absolutely the best practical lesson on the altered scale
With useful and very tasty licks
Many thanks JR
Great lines, Jack. I definitely need to do some work with the altered scale to get a feel/ear for it's tones.
Solo guitar doesn't get much better than this. So inspiring.
Outstandingly informative. You are the king!
I appreciate that!
Sick playing man!!!
What a goood lesson, pefectly explaind, relaxed and first of all a huge content! Thank you. PS. Your english dialect is the best understandable on the planet.
Thank you for this brilliant lesson. You play beautifully and are a great teacher!
You have a great way of explaining things to make it easy to understand.
Glad you think so!
Smooth-unique-helpful.
Thanks Jack-enjoy your work with the Heritage also👍
I knew about those concepts and use them but it’s always great to hear your melodic approaches 👍
New favorite channel. Man, you are so tasteful. Love your groove man
Thank you!
It’s hard to even get through the lesson when I’m stuck listening to the intros🤣 ROCK ON! 🎸
Nice!! some really tasty ideas and a good explanation. Thanks !!
Dude, you got my brain and hands jacked up. I've watched like 5 lessons tonight and I'm just over here like, I know the chord tones to anything but now I need all the "wrong" notes syncopating and building tension to everything I plan to resolve
Yep, yep, I like it very much. Such great, smooth tone!
Thanks for listening
Hey Jack! Could you make a video explaining your guitar tone setup one day? How you set your overdrive tone, etc Thanks!
What a fine blues player he gives me shivers up and down my spine! Thanks for the Memories Jack! I'm going to buy your courses!
Awesome! Thank you!

Great to hear!
Thanks for the great lesson again. Beautiful how much mileage you get from one idea. Very clear explanation and tasteful playing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Mr. Ruch you are a phenomenal guitar player! Thank you for sharing your blessed guitar playing and music with us. Just wanted to say that I've learned so much watching your videos. I've been stuck for so many years and you've been a huge inspiration in advancing my playing. Would you ever make an instructional video for players that need some sort of path to follow, practice routine, structure, music theory, what were the most important things you did to make yourself such a great guitarist?
Love this and i need this! Ty
Love your playing Jack!
Hey thanks Shawn! Love your channel

Hi Jack, Love your stuff, man! I’m sure it’s been over a year since I first caught one of your videos, and I subscribed that day, and told you I’d be back! I’m pretty sure I have tapped into ALL of your videos since then. You’re smooth, tasty, informative, and a joy to listen to. I see that you’ve ditched the hoodie and jacket, today! Glad you turned the heat up! ⬆️. Carry On, Brother! 👍🎸✌️😎
Awesome! Thank you David

i love your ease at playing beautiful
Thank you!
Great lesson! Interesting subject and well explain! Thx
Glad you liked it!
Sounds great Jack!.
Thanks!
You're a brilliant guitar player. Great feel.
Pure Gold!!!
another cool and sometimes easier way to get this idea is to think of the altered scale as being the same as playing the minor melodic scale from the b2nd (minor melodic C in the case of going from B to E)
Those lines lovely
A very useful video. Thanks!
As a horn player I often use altered scales when soloing over dominants. The easiest way to figure out the scale is to remember that every note in the major scale bar the tonic is flattened by a semitone.
So your BAlt scale is a Bb Major with a sharp tonic; your F#Alt scale is an F Major with a sharp tonic.
Never explored it from this perspective - time to get out the pencil and paper ! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Nice lesson. Subbed
Awesome, thank you!
Very brilliant and imperative ⚘
Jack , Big Hello from France. As usual, very instructive video. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Amazing!
Genius. Thanks.
You're a Legend❤️❤️
Very good teacher
10 !!! Very Good Lesson !!!
