Wow, lots of thumbs up :D

IMPORTANT NOTE: I was having extreme difficulty playing the scale on the 5th & 6th strings. I couldn't stretch my fingers & thought it was because my fingers were so short. THEN!! : I paid attention to where Justin has his thumb when he starts out. It's directly under the 3rd fret & POINTING at him!! Mine was pointing towards the head of the guitar. Once I changed, it all fell in place! Give this a thumbs up so it stays up top & other dummys like me see it!

What sort of Tele are you using in that video, Justin? I know it's a Tele but is it a re-issue, a custom, or have you changed the pickups and stuff yourself?

I don't have any problems with finger stretching but I have A LOT of trouble synchronising with the metronome clicks. Can anyone help me here? Is it something that goes away with practice?

Is anchoring two fingers instead of just the pinky a very bad habit?

I made an account so I could post how awesome Justin's lessons are.

I was just watching the new version of this lesson IM-124 ... and man you were too serious!!! I couldn't help but laughing with the "we'll be playin scales with a metronome...YEIIIII".....Keep Teaching the world how to play!!!!

@LeonPowolski it depends on what key you are in. If you are in the key of G major you only use that G scale you learned throughout the whole neck of the guitar. As soon as the key changes you change what notes you play. But in order to sound "in key" you stick with the notes of the key. If you want to get "abstract" you can venture out but those are more advanced note additions you will learn as you spend more time on the guitar and learn about abstract scales. Hope this helps some.
