I started playing in '85 and never took lessons, now that I'm trying to learn "the right way" your videos are helping me learn some very useful concepts. Thanks much, sir!

thanks scott! can you do a lesson on your favorite pentatonic runs / exercises? I sometimes get bogged down in combinations of 5 notes, running out of ideas, or practicing the same modes over and over but with little practical application. not sure if this makes sense or not. maybe i just need to take some lessons from you? ;)

Cool!

It's also useful to think horizontally two strings in parallel as well as of thinking two positions at the same time!
