This lesson helps me make my solos sound less "random". I usually don't stay in one position, and now it makes MUCH more sense to use the chord method. I've been watching your KZread channel for a while. After just 45 minutes watching and applying to my own playing.......now it's time for me to check out your extended lessons.

Thanks Marshall! Pretty simple set up. Just a Divided by 13 BTR23, Rockett Archer Boost Jeff Beck mod, and a Tuttle guitar with Lollar and Dimarzio Pickups. A touch of verb in post.

Noticing how you used Apagios and triad shapes within the scale and how they connected and how to navigate melodically thru the 5 scales . There is no end really. I think knowing where all the Apagios are within each scale also is important as the triads . You have me thinking away I have never looked at the fretboard the way I do now and understand I still know little even though I've gained a lot. . One step at a time. It's a beautiful puzzle in a sense that notes can be hit and rehit at different intervals but so important to land on the root third or fifth to blend in with each chord progression. I play by ear so I can hear when it's right but knowing what I'm hitting and where it's all located s priceless. The caged system is awesome .basically it always comes back to that. Now which scale shape to use or start on is where I get a little confused I can figure it out quuckly but not sure from the start it's coming to me it's the mixture of major and minor scales combined that throws me off.

Great lesson. This was one of the bests 30 minutes of your channel. Congrats 🎉

Yeah I call it shape one for the actual shape of the scale that way wether I am referring to major or minor I can just say shape one.

@@BrettPapa Thanks Brett, we`ve always known it as position one for major or minor, but maybe things have changed since I started playing, TAB`s certainly better now than it was in the 60`s and no more trying to drop record player needles in groves to work out lead bits, thank goodness for youtube and sites like your.

This video helped me out a lot. I have been looking for something like this for a while. Thank you for this! I have a dumb question as I am a beginner with soloing. The shapes you were explaining…if I am soloing in the key of C, that shape 1 will be the same but with my root note at C right? And the shapes go up the fret board and end up back at the first frets? I guess what I’m mainly asking if I start shape one in the middle of the fret board, will shape 4 or 5 end up at the first few frets? Thanks!
