some of you dont understand that there is no next to this.Its all about what you can do.Think of scales as a pattern in which the notes that sound good together just add notes or take notes away repeat the notes play it faster or slower with the beat/backing track.Scales in music are like a panters brush its just a kinda tool to express your mind/yourself. A painter can learn all the tecniques in the world but t the end of the day its what is in his mind that he expresses through tecniques.

hey i'm having a hard time figuring out this quick stumming technique. the only way to explain what i mean is by saying it's right before the chorus of the song big city dreams. could you make a short video possibly to explain this. i can't find one anywhere. thanks

I know nothing about improvising. I don't know scales. How do I know what notes I can hit so it doesn't sound off key? Where would you suggest I start? Thanks for your response.

Great lesson. I want to ask you a question. I can't exploit the pentatonic boxes as they should, I can only improvise always the same melodic lines and this make my improvisation boring. How can I exploit it better?

@futebalmakedonia you have 5 different shapes in the G major scale. All of them use the note G as root note but on another string. This means that your shapes will be on a different place on the fretboard but you'll still play in the key of G as long as you play those shapes and use G as root note!

@JustinSandercoe Have u done a vid teaching us how to know what notes work outside a scales so we can play up and down the neck rather than being stuck with the 1 notes in the pentatonic scale ???
