Hands down you are undeniably the best guitarist on TH-cam in my opinion, you just make everything look so effortless and smooth, every time I watch one of your videos it feels like a privilege.
This is a doorway to mastery! Combining this with vertical scale concepts pretty much solves the guitar neck and allows the mind to focus on creativity and articulation rather than on navigation.
@@rvmeth7070 What I meant was the playing of scales in position (the way scles are usually thought) moving up and down across strings 6-1. Sorry for the confusion.
Lol I Iove this so much. I've been playing for 19 years, I can play with anyone, to any song, and my mind exploded when you said this is just the AMaj shape at the end. Beautiful little lesson, great picking technique, and fantastic form on the fret hand.
I saw this last week, and just came back to say this actually did unlock my playing ability much more than I thought! Give it a try folks, and try to adapt it to your favorite scales if the major is not your thing
How are there dislikes on a video like this? Really easy to digest teaching style and even though I’ve been playing a while I get so many light bulb moments when watching your videos. You’re a legend!
I wish i was skilled enough to practice your lessons... While i watch them i keep reminding myself that one day... One day... I'll come back to learn them
Andres Joi just get them and practice them painfully slow and use a metronome to build up speed over time. Eventually you’ll get it and will be up to speed. I think you’d surprise yourself. Plus no one ever learned something new by not having tried over and over. Just start.
You'll get there dude! Don't even worry about it, like the first guy said. Just learn learn it SLOWWWWW. Pick 8 notes at a time, and then start building from there. Get the first 8 down and then stack the next 8 on top, then go a tony bit faster.....and so on.....and so on. You will end up surprising yourself, in fact, I'll bet within 1 week you'll be better than you even thought you could be! Give it your all and really do it! Good luck man!
Very cool! I made the mistake of learning and practicing arpeggios exclusively in a 2 octave vertical pattern. It's made it tough not to get lost when following chord changes. I think this will help a lot
everytime you share these methods i find it relative easier to learn my way on the fretboard.. I'm still starting but this one is a must have knowledge thank you rick for dropping by middle earth just to teach us mere mortals your godly ways..
It's the first winter I've seen since being in the UK (going on for 4 years this year). It's hilarious how much of a cataclysm -6*C weather is in the London area. I literally had to work all of this week since not a single train I would ride to work ran. I went home in the winter last year, it was -20*C at the time and the communication was just fine! ;)
Great! I was going to ask you jut about what you mentioned in the end, if you could show us the other arpeggios to see how you think them and how do you apply them to your fingers. This has been one of the best lessons I've learnt in a while as this is something I've struggling with for years.
I seriously have to study for my test tomorrow but I wanted to watch Rick's lessons instead hehe New subscriber! I learned a lot from your videos dude! Hope you doing well rn
I've been going through these 2 note per string exercises with the major, minor, dominant, and diminished arpeggios from your lessons Rick. It's helped me a lot. Great stuff Rick. Cheers mate. I bought your lesson packs over a year ago and I'm still just scratching the surface. Just a lot of stuff to digest.
Really cool rick. I think you could use this + the vertical position version and travel through them the way Guthrie govan does diatonic/chromatic scales. Really cool way to traverse the fretboard.
What i found useful was to just take the first shape and play it all over the fretboard, and just explore every possible combination of it. My brain can only handle one shape at a time. Then when im comfortable i will try the inversions.
Das mit den Arpeggien hört sich sehr vernünftig an. Entdeckte diese Shapes letztes Jahr, aber verwendete nur je eine über alle Saiten und probierte es nicht über 2 Saiten nach oben. Vielleicht kann man diese Technik auch im Jazz Bereich verwenden, z.B. triolisch im up Tempo. Auf jeden Fall ist das Video besser als so mancher Workshop.
Thanks a bunch, Rick! Always enriching with your lessons... @4:19, isn't the E at Es12f (E string, 12th fret) a perfect 5th to the root in the chord (instead of a 4th)?
So what about chord tone scales? Are they related to what you are talking about? Can what you are talking about be helpful in learning how to play jazz standards like Autumn Leaves, etc? Or are we talking about 2 different genres, approaches?
A good way to approach standards is by playing the arpeggios of the chords in 8th notes, connecting the next chord tone (the ones that are the closest to each other) with chromatic notes. There are some good lessons on this in jens larsen's channel.
Great presentation and techniques as always, Sorry to hear about your pipework !! ;~) Our boiler decided to break down and we only have 2 little plug in electric heaters... ...it's horrible playing with slightly chilly hands. And the earliest the part needed to fix-it is Tuesday! Oh well , it could be worse Cheers from Hampshire

What is the vertical scale
@@rvmeth7070 What I meant was the playing of scales in position (the way scles are usually thought) moving up and down across strings 6-1. Sorry for the confusion.
Ain't nothing like a bit of horizontal action to warm you up on a cold day :-)
lmao
Hahaha yeah buddy!
Horizontal dancing, nothing better!
Was that a little naughty eh? ;)
Nothing like a Rick video on a thursday afternoon. Thanks, Rick.

Joke of the day at 1:42 rick tries to improve his fretboard knowledge.
Cool lesson as always
he is right one never stops learning
This video absolutely blew my mind into the next level of my fretboard knowledge. THANK YOU!
I love how your not afraid to share your knowledge. Very helpful!
How are there dislikes on a video like this? Really easy to digest teaching style and even though I’ve been playing a while I get so many light bulb moments when watching your videos. You’re a legend!
teaches while moving the hand. very clean and makes execution look easy. very inspiring.

You will never learn thinking this way. Sorry, but this is the true.
You'll get there dude!
Don't even worry about it, like the first guy said.
Just learn learn it SLOWWWWW.

Give it your all and really do it!
Good luck man!
Andres Joi is it today?
Just curious but, seeing that your post was from four years ago, I wonder if you still feel the same way?
That is an aha moment for me. Rick, my good man, you are a legend.
finally I can touch my guitar on this episode, thanks rick
HOPE YOU'RE DOING EXTEEEEEEEEEEEMELY WELL RICK!
I wish there was a love button! Great stuff, thanks man.
Very cool! I made the mistake of learning and practicing arpeggios exclusively in a 2 octave vertical pattern. It's made it tough not to get lost when following chord changes. I think this will help a lot
Thank you Rick. Much appreciated.
everytime you share these methods i find it relative easier to learn my way on the fretboard.. I'm still starting but this one is a must have knowledge thank you rick for dropping by middle earth just to teach us mere mortals your godly ways..
Love playing arppegios this way
Wow! This opened a nice new door for me. I think I'll try to go through chord progressions in this manner. Could be cool.
Thanks for the lesson.

Nice to see you back on top form Rick
Taking things that I already know and improvising the way you do really opens my mind up. Thank you!!! I see the pearl now I’m going for it. 😊

Rick shoulf form a band like Plini and the Intervals and go on a tour , he deserves more recognition
You are a good teacher, mate.
Plumbing tips + arpeggios ;-)
seriously... i came here for the arpeggios dude stop talking about the weather and your plumbing issues.
Thank you so much for these videos. I’m getting out of a natural minor rut and this really helps me out.
2:40 first exercise
4:53 second exercise
7:50 third exercise
If only I'd had someone like you to work with me 40 to 45 years ago... :( Good Stuff!!
I've been going through these 2 note per string exercises with the major, minor, dominant, and diminished arpeggios from your lessons Rick. It's helped me a lot. Great stuff Rick. Cheers mate.

Excellent!!!
Glad I found your channel.

This lesson is a goldmine
Great knowledge 🎸✌️👍
thank you rick, you're the greatest
Great lesson very usefull! love these stuff
Great lesson rick!!! Thank you 😊
Really cool rick. I think you could use this + the vertical position version and travel through them the way Guthrie govan does diatonic/chromatic scales. Really cool way to traverse the fretboard.
Heard loud and clear in Land O' lakes,WI.usa.....thanks new fan- player.....😶
Please more exercises like this...for me more helpful than shred
This is awesome . Can you show us some examples of that last idea you talked about? I mean doing groups of arpeggios on each set of 2 strings.
You're so good you make me feel like giving up How much practice do you put in in a day?
Thanks for this lesson
so good! Thnx Rick!!
Rick please make a lesson about creating riffs !! Love ya.
Hello from Canada!!
What a fucking legend.
Thanks Rick

i know i am
@ÁUß Code
Lol Nice.
Yeah this guy is a douchebag
Cool concept dude, I have only been using the first shape
Amazing concept
Here in sweden it's 20 - Celsius and I'm burning up
Lol, come to where I am and its between 38 - 41 on a daily basis
Good job man
Please, come to Brazil soon!
André Prates
Thanks a bunch, Rick! Always enriching with your lessons...
@4:19, isn't the E at Es12f (E string, 12th fret) a perfect 5th to the root in the chord (instead of a 4th)?
Great tutorial!!!
Thank you
All I could think was Stranger Things the whole time lol
CodyMBB yea it's pretty much a c major7 arpeggio
That's a good thing!
God damn I never thought of this. Smart guy, I gotta try this
Good lesson, but could you please tune your guitar, or explain if you are deliberately flat, or maybe tuned to 432 Hz? thank you!
Great conceptual lesson. Thanks from Canader. ;-)
That is useful it's a good visual
So what about chord tone scales? Are they related to what you are talking about? Can what you are talking about be helpful in learning how to play jazz standards like Autumn Leaves, etc? Or are we talking about 2 different genres, approaches?

German Lungwitz Thanks. I will check it out.
Really enjoy your lessons, but I really like it when you do shredding solos. Like when you did the Andy James guitar review.
Ola sou do brasil e admiro muito o seu trabalho e estilo de tocar... poderia mostrar os teus equipamentos de efeitos?. Obrigado Sucesso

Do you ever do private lessons?
Hi! Please ,give your patch to Axe Change. Sorry, my English is poor. I use Fractal axe fx 2 Mark 2.Thank you!!
Where are good places to live in the UK?
What Pickups do you use . Thanks
How do you achieve so amazing sustain?
Extremely well
I live in Tropical Australia,I’m cold at 20 degrees Celsius.
Don’t know how those fingers aren’t frozen ha.
Hey Rick! Any chance on sharing the Axe FX preset? Great lesson!
Podrias agregar subtitulos en español? por favor creo que tambien habemos gente de habla hispana que ve tus tutoriales
Great presentation and techniques as always,
Sorry to hear about your pipework !!
;~)
Our boiler decided to break down and we only have 2 little plug in electric heaters...
...it's horrible playing with slightly chilly hands. And the earliest the part needed to fix-it is Tuesday!
Oh well , it could be worse

Please do a video on Shawn Lanes style
Play paganini 24 plis of master li jie
Great help brother :)
One small suggestion: Expand the screen so that we can see the full length of the fingerboard.
GoldenChicken doesn't need to I could see just fine
