    Thank You Jules! This is the best one guitar lesson that I have ever found !! I am 70 so I wish I would have found this 60 years ago, LOL I have been a Patreon member of your material for about 6 months and your classes are the BEST. My blues playing has improved immensely! You make learning the blues so much easier than all the other classes I have taken,

    Hey Jules, I want to thank you for all your help. Your videos area goldmine to me. I am 42 complete begginer,been playing for 2 months already. I learned the pentatonic scales on your earlier videos and made me understand them very easy. I'm still on pattern 1 and working on 2. Cheers from Arizona 🍻 🌵☀️

    The diagonal blues scale, I think I discovered it in one of your older videos (thanks for that!), is the best shape of all (I call it the "flag" shape). I spend months memorizing all the pentatonic shapes but that scale has all the pentatonic notes plus the blue note, and it tells you where the blue notes in each "conventional" pentatonic are (two in every position). And with extending the "flagpole" one fret above and below you get the full minor scale together. And you are not stuck in just that one position you learned but can diagonally play across the whole fretboad. So you can memorize one lick in that shape and move it one octave higher or lower at any time. And two frets down is the next same "flag" shape, this time going through the major pentatonic positions. And all that just with memorizing this one simple 5 note shape.

    Hey Jules! 40yrs old, back at playing electric guitar after 20 years. Took me this long to just be brave enough to not be good. To play for my self.

    Awesome stuff , your tutorials are easy to follow, even for an old beginner like me , your videos on how to use these boxes have been of so much use to my learning, I’ve surprised myself a few times by actually getting some music out of my guitars instead of just noise ,, thanks 👍👍🤠🎸

    I feel there is just no way around learning chords and scales, the function of their notes, their voicings and substitutions in order to get fit to place that one or two tones which enhances a position beyond the 'box'. I am saying this because I am finding it really hard to make the transition from patterns to a flowing string of notes which are meaningful. Especially in a minimalistic environment like Blues. Anyway, thanks for your well made video. :)

    Nearly every other KZread guitarist shows the fretboard from the perspective of the guitarist playing the guitar, not the observer watching the guitar player. I really appreciate his videos, but really dont care for the fretboard illustration style he's chosen.

    In spite of the standardized method, I have to agree that it seems more appropriate to flip the fretboard. It certainly is the way the player sees the fretboard and where fingers should go
