Andrew, I've had guitar teachers and lessons for decades, but no one has ever put all the scales, keys, and shapes together as you have. Most teachers never show how all the keys and scales are related, right inside positions on the fret board. This lesson puts it all together. A big thank you, especially for this lesson, which ties everything together. As you say, it's a beefy one.

Wow, this video was a huge level up for me. I'm an intermediate guitarist, and I was familiar with using scales to improvise and triads to hit the chord tones, but I had never established a "home base" where I memorized all the triad shapes and their numbers within one scale. This makes it so much easier to figure out the chord progression on the fly because it narrows down the options. I've been practicing quite a bit with the "outpost", which is more like my main home base, because that's the scale shape I'm most comfortable with. I've even started to be able to naturally pick out the chord transitions by ear thanks to this method, which I wasn't able to do before. I've never heard another guitar teacher explain it like this before, so thank you for laying it out so clearly. I have learned a lot from all your videos, but this one is my favorite.

Another awesome video mate thank you… literally the best teaching videos on KZread

Great lesson as usual. I always enjoyed people who listened to a song and figured out the chords without looking them up. I would love a detailed video on using the number system to figure out what chords are in a song based on the most likely progressions.

I watch every one of your videos and I lean so much conceptually, but I don't know how to necessarily practice these things. I'd love a video on how to nail this concept when I pick up my guitar. Right now I always just end up sounding out scales.

Andrew Thanks for the lesson. Really good breakdown. It's cool to see how the triads fit into the scale shapes, but what's the practical take away? - Practice your triads all over the neck so that you can play chords in tight bunches .......or - Practice identifying and building triads by analyzing the scale shapes I hope this makes sense

@andrewclarkeguitar

Жыл бұрын

The focus of this lesson is more about understanding the concept -- giving you a chunk of the neck to feel comfortable improvising solos and playing different variations of chords with. I'm releasing a video tomorrow all about how to practice the concepts I teach in my videos. Should give you a more practical takeaway. Cheers!

Thx 3:40

This is amazing stuff andrew, thank you. Is there a reason you used the diagram in the video instead of the standard tabulature (upside down) diagram? Its fine, I just have to process more a little bit and imagine things upside down

@andrewclarkeguitar

Жыл бұрын

I've gone back and forth on whether I should place the fretboard diagram one way or the other. I chose "backwards" because it's the same orientation as the fretboard camera on the guitar above it. Rather than having them go in opposite directions. I may change this in the future, but I'm not sure yet.

Mind blown😮.. I think this is a watch several times.. what's the best way to identify the root of the Triad you are playing? What level of guitar player is this aimed at? Great video🎉

@andrewclarkeguitar

Жыл бұрын

The root's location will change depending on the shape you're using. I always like to relate the small chord shapes back to the original larger shape and find the root note from there. So when you play the little C shape, you imagine the whole C shape and where the lowest note would lie. At least until you've got all the shapes memorized and can pick out each note quickly.

@@andrewclarkeguitar ok cheers for that.. the ones I struggle on the most are the d and g shape without using a barre (Triad).? E,a and c I can see those shapes (or where you'd put all your fingers down for the whole chord..g and d shape barre I find my hands and wrists too small to play those..😔

This is where the real money's at. And eventually understanding this in all the caged positions (would probably recommend just focusing on the I's, IV's, and V's first, then VI). Much more fun and freeing than cowboy chords.

Question. I was taught to play the B from the A minor scale on the d string rather than the G for modal purposes and flow of the scale. Is there a specific reason why you play it on the G?

Thanks for this one dude ❤️
