@Tweekerhead Most people take the System for what it is, as you do.. a debate arises usually because a person is trying to express their theories and/or concepts, when the System of Guitar is the foundation on the neck, that everything is built on. So to them it's an attack on theory that they've learned, because no one has ever explored the complete system of the neck...maybe the patterns, but not The System..The System and Theory go hand in hand...some people can't see that...
figuring this out mathematically has to be done by oneself no one can do it for you it is your homework so to speak patterns on the fret board are obvious it is the way a person sees the patterns that makes what he does unique no one want to hear a clone of Geo Benson or some
other great guitarist take time work it out slowly and a precisely and you will slowly build up speed. Play along with Coltrane he is your best teacher.
@campocat Great comment, true in order to comprehensively understand, it has to be figured out mathmatically and by YOU....I developed this channel because most people don't even know what they are in search of....People should start with a road map of the instrument, so that they know where everything fits as they learn...
@TheSystemOfGuitar The road map can't be a math problem they have to do that themselves I studied & played with the best it makes a nice You Tube just too much of this out here and it is your ball of wax so knock yourself out. I actually thought I was commenting on someone else's site I thought he made this vid... carry on
@campocat understanding the roadmap is like solving a math problem if they get into the numbers. The confusion for most is that they teach with letters instead of numbers, pieces of theory, and nothing about the functionality of the instrument itself. Most of what is out here, are licks, concepts and theories. The System teaches what takes place ON THE NECK in all situations, using the foundation of the instrument (the 5 scale patterns that make up the neck). Nothing else like it out here
@TheSystemOfGuitar Dude I'm 65 yo been teaching for over 50 years graduated of music with a masters degree. They have to figure it our on their own no spoon feeding it isn't rocket science. Give them a schematic and let them become unique musicians not cookie cutter clones... Don't tell me what is happening on the neck again...
@campocat First of all credentials don't and have never impressed me.. can you play is the question...George Benson grew up with and taught my older brother in Pittsburgh,Ive played with many of the greats as well, but these things prove nothing...I simply mapped out the neck for whomever decides to use it, however they'd like.. You are the only person since I wrote the book in 1990 who has come at the system like this.. Prove that what I've shown is incorrect...if you can...
@campocat Further more, I can say whatever I like on my page about my System. You came to my page and tried to degrade it...Say what you want, but I know what's on that neck and how to SIMPLY get around on it as good or better than anybody out here...
@campocat EVERYBODY who plays guitar in the standard tuning, plays over this system, whether they know it or not.. yet everybody approaches it differently. those who are clones, are because either copied somebody, or somebody taught them a certain way.. they don't know enough about the instrument to find themselves on it. with 50 years and a masters degree, you should be pretty good at breaking things down....let's see what you can do.. Did Wes Montgomery have a degree or did he know the neck?

@TheSystemOfGuitar Some people will flame you no matter what.
I mean ..have you seen this guy's videos?
This is Y-Tube, everyone an expert and has PhD's.
Thanks for your vid's man, they help me, and will help me more and more as I go on. Thx a mill'..
