thank you very much man

[NervesOfSteel1986]

im left handed .. I use a site to practice my scales but to be honest I don't feel Im getting the idea of each scale .. I can hit each note but Im not sure how to get a lick out of each scale

[unherolike]

Did anyone else have to rotate their monitor 180 degrees in order not to get confused?

[darkglamour666]

this might sound stupid but

what exactly are scales for in music?

[jezzepi]

@darkglamour666 Super epic rockstar solo time!!!!

[pilotpodom]

@darkglamour666 i think they are for solos.and its also easy to find the melody of a song when you know the scales because songs are created using scales in a specific key.hope this helps.GOD BLESS

what I don't get which is not in this video is the part about different positions of the same scale.

[trevortjes]

i learned the minor on a whole different way: (in A)

e5-8

b5-8

g5-7

d5-7

a5-7

e5-8

[achibelle123]

OMG this is the first scale video that i actually understand. thanks lisa!!!!



[BfmvMetalDemon]

wrong. u move out of position with the slides. instead of going for G to A on the 6th string then to B on the 5th string u need to move from G to A TO B all on one string

u no shit about positioning bro

[sadpanda7]

Having your guitar flipped opposite mine is slowing me down big time and making it hard to memorize the scale. I have to look at your guitar and translate it to my own before I play each note.

[FreakExceptionale]

@sadpanda7 Learn to spatially reason, bro. Quit your bitchin' and play.

[sadpanda7]

@FreakExceptionale How about less spatial reasoning and more MUSIC!?

[trevortjes]

@sadpanda7 printscreen it and use paint to flip it horizontally but also vertically. First i thought this scale just didn't make sense untill i flipped everything

[markkkkkola]

@sadpanda7 yeah I agree with you man that's actually driving me I can't even process that without thinking about it. why not just have it in tab form?

[markkkkkola]

@markkkkkola to amend for my negativity I must say I respect your effort in helping people learn, a truly beautiful commitment.. just so used to tabs that processing that proves to be very frustrating

[outofslumber]

As a learner he confused me when he said for A scale start at the 5th note. He should have been clearer and only after looking in a scale book I have did I realise he means the whole shape is moved up, not just that the starting point changes, which is what he made it sound like. Thats the difficulty Ive found as a learner some videos Ive watched can be interpretated wrongly and other videos Ive watched turned out to be flat out wrong.

[BkkCheesepie]

Just remember, WWHWWWH for major and WHWWHWW for minor.

[vincedelgato]

@BkkCheesepie best comment on the video IMHO

[azwan1992]

@BkkCheesepie what do W and H mean?

[lollerskates101LOL]

@BkkCheesepie what?



[ltohio]

@lollerskates101LOL i think W=whole step and H=half step.

[SwiftBassBeats]

@BkkCheesepie hey i just picked up playing guitar 2 days ago and can u explain a little more what u mean because i kinda feel dumb asking but why with the whole and half is there 7 in your comment but 15 notes for the scale?(major )

[ohyoojingirl]

STOP GOING SO FAST!!! golly

How do u expect newbies to learn if ur talking so fast!!!!

TAKEURSTINKINTIME!!!!!

[appelbob7]

Love your videos but i need help ! when i play the major scale mine my notes get lower as i get to my last strings but yours gets higher XD is my guitar out of tune ?

[dmenaced]

@appelbob7 you might have a left handed guitar. the 6th string, fat one, should be at the top.

[JodiSherwood]

@appelbob7 its out of tune, or your not holding down the strings hard enough

[jasonscootboy12]

@appelbob7 Maybe, your guitar should have thethicker strings at the top and go down to the thinner strings...if that is not the problem , then you need to tune your guitar. Search youtube for a tutorial of that

[oldgoat1942]

I don't know how long you have been on youtube providing these guitar lessons, but in my opinon you are the best I have found. I am a beginer and have been seaching for a very good instructor with results until I found this site. I take lessions and have been for awhile, but you surpass him in your instruction. You are brief, concise, to the point and very understandable. If there is anyone that needs such, believe me check this man out. I am sure you will agree he is the best.. Thanks

@oldgoat1942 This guy came here here to give us a speech.

[salmonandthai]
