You have inspired me to start over and really ingrain the foundational concepts that make the guitar the elegant instrument that it is. I sincerely thank you for your posts and your thoughtful approach to instruction.

What a gift this lesson was and what a terrific teacher you are! I was just laying out my practice curriculum for the coming year and I thought I'd find a comprehensive approach to 4ths and BOOM! there you were. Thanks Jared. I'll be checking in regularly. Happy New Year.

This is one of the most interesting lessonsi havecame across i'ave been looking for something like this for a long time love this

Excellent exercises! I am new to learning how to play any instrument but definitely see the value in learning this scales.

This is a really great lesson! Thanks for sharing your insights - very helpful!! 🏆

I listened to your whole lesson. Been playing guitar and bass for 52 years, all styles and genres, for free and for a fee. Your online instruction is one of the best. Thanks

It takes a whole lot of discipline and determination to force one's self to stay in one or two positions instead of jumping to familiar key positions when improving but it's so worth the effort. It opens up so many doors to spontaneous, melodic lines.

Thank you so much for blessing us with this it is so informative and in great details great lesson

Jared, I've seen the master level exercise described before and understood the value but it seemed so daunting. Your preamble of the Circle of 4ths and the levels of difficulty make this approachable. Great lesson. Thanks from this nerd and new subscriber.

This may be the lesson i've been looking for. Finally. Thank you!

This is great! Thank you sir! I’ve been working on interval skips and sequences using the caged system and while learning to damp out unwanted string noise. But this is another form of practicing I can add to continue building knowledge which seems to be very important. Thanks again for sharing this valuable information. Best wishes

Liked and subscribed. Excellent, intelligent subject matter. It will take me time to digest it, but someone finally is explaining how to use fundamental theory on the guitar.

This has gotta be the most impactful lesson I've ever seen but I'm sure that partly had to do with where I'm at in my journey. If I had watched this at some earlier time it would have slid past right over my head. I always wondered what the guiding logic was when I heard players do chord progressions that just had a pleasing connection throughout and now it makes perfect sense that they were probably using the circle off fifths and fourths. Once I get this under my fingers well enough I'm thinking it'll try to use the circles in custom ways such as going by internals other than single steps. Maybe double, or triple, or double and triple would also find pleasurable rings to them. Hats off to you Jared

@psivil.disobedience

Ай бұрын

@@satchrules101in case you still don’t know, it’s being called the G form because the chord shape is the same shape as an open G chord. For example, a C chord in the ‘G form’ is when you play the E strings fretted on the 8th fret, the A string fretted at the 7th & the D, G & B strings on the 6th fret.

In order to mute easily remember what notes map to any form it seems you could say, rooted on the 6th and 5th strings, the ones higher up the neck use the pinky roots (G, C forms), while the others use the first or second finger (E, A forms), and the ones rooted on the 4th string all use the D form

The patterns also change in the patterns of fourths. For E.g the G form pattern goes to C form which is a forth, then the E form goes to A form & then D form in that particular fret, Also a helpful tip to remember which patterns to apply on which string while switching keys.

I definitely understand the value of learning this and also understand that naming each position by number can be confusing but I do not get what makes the G position the G position or the A position the A position etc. I realize you are using the letters of the caged system but what attribute gives each position it's letter assignment. I don't fully understand the caged system so this may seem a silly question but if I understood this it might make things easier.

All of your videos are tremendously helpful. This one in particular hit home for me and I think it's one of your best. I struggle with making the changes as keys change in jazz tunes. This program is going to help me a lot. Can you please post the five major scale forms chart that you used in the video?

You have a talent for simplifying the complex. Thank you. I learned the major scales patterns as modal patterns. (Oh, horror! 🙂) I know that raises the hackles of about half the guitar-teaching community since modes require a magical incantation and chords to before they can be distinguished from scales. But since the seven modes derive from the seven notes of the major scale and there are seven patterns for the seven modes, why only five patterns/shapes for the "non-modal" major scale? (When I look at the first pattern above, I see the pattern/shape for the Lydian mode. But since it's the "C" scale, the 4th degree of the indicated pattern/shape is NOT raised, so I know it is not a modal scale. But that does not answer, "Why only 5 shapes/patterns for non-modal scales?") Some times the obvious, isn't. Well, at least to me.

Great video mate, really re-motivated me to finally learn guitar theory. Hoping you could help me with one question I had though. Google tells me the notes of an A Major scale are A B C# D E F# G#. I can see from your diagrams that A major should follow E Form. E Form seems to start correctly on the note of A however the next note in E Form pattern is Bb instead of the expected B note?

You are so awesome!!! Where can we dive deeper with your teachings?

As someone relatively new to guitar, this was an extremely helpful video. Thanks for sharing. I wonder if you might explain the relationship between a key and its scale form. For instance, why should I use the E Scale Form when playing in the keys of A, B flat, and B. Why not utilize the G scale form? Another way of asking this: what is the inherent relationship between the scale form and the key? Also, could we not see these scale patterns as modal variations? The A scale form seems like a version of the Lydian, just leaving out the initial F note on the low E string. Thanks again. I really enjoy your channel. Its super informative. Has helped me a lot!

He asks us to focus on the area of the fretboard where the index finger will be on frets 4,5, or 6 when beginning from the thickest string. The exercise is to get us to play all 12 keys in the same neighborhood to avoid jumping up and down. the fretboard The relationship of the scale shape and key here is only a constraint for the lesson - play all 12 keys in the same neighborhood. To accomplish that we figure out which shape is available to us for each key in the specified neighborhood. Outside of this lesson, we use the shape that makes the most sense for the musical ideas in play at the time. Most guitar solos for rock and metal generally start closer to the nut on thicker strings and then end on the thinnest strings closest to the bridge providing a crescendo and climax. modal variations - If we play a major scale, we have a root or tonic note that is "home", having the "strongest gravitational pull". If we decide to make the tonic the 4th note in the scale instead of the 1 but still play the same shapes, this is Lydian, a relative mode. Jared and many others have videos about modes.

So is this playing i all keys in almost one position? DO you have a way to do this with 3 notes per string scales, also in Harmonic and Melodic minor, blues scales etc?

Interesting! but I noticed that your 5 diagrams for the Major scale does not match up with the 5 patterns of the Major scale that I searched on google for? (I could not remember in detail all the patterns), I have no idea why this is?

Hi Jared! This is awesome! So for the minor scale I can also apply this but just using the relative minor chords based on the cycle of fourths . Correct? So C Maj would be Amin?

Good question! Yep, you can absolutely apply this strategy to the minor scales/chords. ** Thanks for asking -Jared

This started out really promising with the suggestion of which of the 5 positions to use depending on the interval one is changing to but other than learning where the tonic is in each position I cant see why its not the same as learning anything "by wrote" rather than shining a light on the understanding. For example the exercises dont appear to help with understanding that if you have to play a 6 5 4 1 how to easily move from a none tonic note of one scale to the next any differently to just learning caged and the tonics there in. Also a lot of rockier stuff is minor key based and I fully understand its the same thing just a different tonic note but I cant see how this helps me understand the relationships any differently to the way its traditionally taught. I love your demeanor but am I missing something ?

what to do if i want to play in a different mode e.g minor

Heyy!`Thanks for the lesson. I had one question.... you told for what keys what form will be used ON THE 5TH POSITION. But what about the other positions?? Like how do we know what form to use for what key...say on the 7th position

at 16:31 im confused by the diagrams. What are the letters on 5 different scale forms mean? as in the top has c then next has f etc. Because if i'm not mistaken the F on the C form diagram is on the wrong fret. how is the E form supposed to include the key of B if it doesn't contain the B on the 6th string 7th fret? I feel like i must be misunderstanding something here

@soundguitar

Thanks for the questions! Sorry that it was confusing! The letters on the actual fret notes in the scale diagrams are the root notes of the scales and they are the exact note of that fret. The F on the C form diagram is on the correct fret: Fret 8 on the 5th string and fret 6 on the 2nd string are both F and that's where it's written. The E form is to be used for the key of B major by moving it accordingly (up a half step from where the diagram is written). I hope that helps. Please let me know if I can help clarify further. -Jared

Glad I discovered your channel. As an 'ear' player my technique has usually been to grab a backing track with the preferred key/scale/mode, and then I'll either use the scale layout in the video (if has) or the guitar scale app I have on my phone. I always go to around the 12th fret position and see what's there if there's a pattern. Once I get the feel and sound of the scale I just use my ear to flesh it out all over the fretboard and then it's pretty much stuck in my brain and usable, but that doesn't excuse my lack of theory which is why I'm here.

I really like your teaching methods. My question is; how do you determine a 7th,9th,11 th,13, whether it's on the top or bottom strings? Can it be either or? Thanks 😊

Hi, I'm just wondering if there's an easier way to find all the forms of one scale, let's say C scale, all over the fretboard? Or if you just kind of have to fiddle around with it? I've learned what you've shown here, and it's nice that it's contained within a few frets, but I'd like to also know where all the other scales are on the fretboard. I did find (i think) all the forms for at least one scale. Thanks!

Excellent question! I'll do a follow up video specifically on mastering the major scale forms all within one key instead of changing keys. It will draw from this method by having us view the location and scale form off of the roots as we did here. In short, you'll find five roots of the same note along the neck where you'll base your five scale forms off of for that key. I'll explain in detail in the follow up video, but hopefully that can get you started thinking about it. Thanks for the request!

I know this is an old video Jared but I’m just getting to this level. Love all your videos and teaching methods. Sorry if this is a simple question but I’m baffled. When you do the order of 4ths, C F Bb etc, I can play the corresponding major scales in all positions following your chart. However, I find it hard to remember all the position names C F Bb etc for all the keys. Then say if I wanted to play A on the 6th string I understand the 12 key pattern would remain the same but I would need to know all those position names. Is there a simple way to remember them?

I play 3 notes per strinng and the way I work out the different keys is remembering the major chords 145 are always the same pattern. No matter what key you are in. If you just remember 3 chords you cover nearly the whole neck. I got about halfway through this video before I got a bit lost though. I can see the advantage of being able to do this, but my brain is not engaging LOL.

Okay, Level One. What scale PATTERN are we using. Are we only using the G PATTERN or are we using the Chart to the right that you have to switch Patterns with each New Low Root Note??? Edit: okay yes, you use the different scales according to the first note with the different mark on it. Okay. Got it. Been practicing and this is the best video on this ever. You really helped me get to the next level. Thank you.

I can jam along to the Circle of Fourths with pretty good accuracy, but I don’t understand the strict adherence of the “forms.” I learned the major scale/modes in 3 note per string movements and know my 1 note per string arpeggios so the forms I am struggling to understand. Is it just a matter of the challenge of staying in the same general position?

Yeah, the point is just to stay roughly in the same position to connect keys without big jumps on the fretboard. You can apply the same concept with 3NPS system or on any other position on the fretboard. This is just the way I do it :)

I’ve been improvising with progressions I’ve written and tried to follow the changes, but this is the first time I tried following the circle of 4ths, something I wasn’t entirely familiar with and I was surprised how my well my ear led me and once I started remembering the chord changes I could anticipate where I was going. But holding that generally position is quite challenging, so I’ll keep trying, it’s a great challenge and is breaking me out of my regular scalar patterns.
