Great to hear thanks! Lots more guitar lesson videos on our channel and Patreon www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver

I just discovered your site about two weeks ago, and now I'm obsessed with watching every video you've done. Your teaching style is the best on the entire internet. I love when you teach me how to do things without thinking! I finally found the guy that will show me the secret sauce!

Thank you! Glad to hear it. Lots more lessons coming here to YT and our Patreon this year 😎👍

Hi Blue Morris, Just a few words to thank you for your great contribution and generosity to guitar teaching community. I am an old 62 chap already and after a long pause too busy with Work and duties, fortunately I am still standing and now i am back to playing guitar and hungry for learning to do it a little bit better, if possible… and i must say that you have helped me a lot. Each of us has different ways and your teaching way fits me very well. I find your methods fantastic, short videos with various and very applicable useful subjects, going straight into the horse mouth with a clear explanation in an understandable tone, aiming to have fun and successfully making complex things easy. I am constantly diving in this universe of never-ending list of things to learn to improve my guitar playing and as said, your lessons are among the very Best. I can tell I will never be a Pro but your teaching and your Book Guitar Soloing like a Pro are surely contributing to my guitar playing sounding much better and having lots of Fun on the Journey… Practicing and Persistence are winning over Frustration Days when you can’t play as you wish… Greetings from Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, many thanks again and congratulations for your great teaching, and I plan to carry on learning and having fun until the game is over… Fabio Nieves.

Man , your teaching is the most useful stuff I have found anywhere. It is so practical and useful. Others teach stuff that sounds great but without how and where to use it, it is pretty much useless. I play on a praise team and the music is constantly changing from week to week & your instruction is helping me break out of usual playing . Thanks so Much.

Well, after playing for one year now, I have seen a lot of videocontent for guitarlessons on YT, but I have to say that for me you are the only teacher where I can hold my focus on the complete lesson. Therefore I make a lot of progress. I have bought your Book 1 on Amazon a few months ago. Happy to hear your second book is out. I will buy it as my Christmas present 🙂

Thank you!

Your shape 2 starts on the major root on the 6th string, so call that shape 1. Your shape 1 starts on the minor root so call that shape 6. When you consistently name the shapes after the major scale degree they start on, you then have both E strings as your guide posts for every key. Let your shape numbers truly mirror music theory and it pays off in keeping you from losing your place. You can even stay in one place without chasing roots even as the key changes. Try it sometime.

I love your lessons and your books. 🤩

Thank You! Very practical yet powerful videos as per the usual. I used to practice the pentatonic positions and worked on becoming familiar with root/blue notes and the nice bending/tension points by improvising along with Roy Buchanan (e.g., Soul Dressing, Five String Blues, Sweet Dreams, etc.). Then I did the same to practice/experiment with navigating between and through the positions. Likewise for practicing dropping in the additional notes that belong to the natural scale.

Thanks! The books are set up a little differently than that. But by the end of Book 1 you will be able to apply all the concepts to all the shapes. And then Book 2 takes it further by applying all that to Major Pentatonic

Hi Blue. Thanks for another great lesson. Does it make sense when I play shape I higher on the neck, after playing shape V. Or should I desent to to shape I on the low A (root)?

@GuitarLessonsVancouver

8 ай бұрын

If I understand your question, after shape 5 comes shape 1 again. So shape 1 is up the fretboard from shape 5 ... up being towards the body of the guitar.

@@GuitarLessonsVancouver yes I know but when I play shape one again, do I go up the fretboard or desent where I started?
