Oh yeah where was this in 1972, OH yeah PIANO books. I can tell ya it was tough learning everything by Ear back then. I can remember learning Til there Was You by the Beatles, a Beautiful Jazzy type solo. Sure was not in a Song Book back then. I got this Bizarre book back then with the Beatles on the cover. It has no TABS, they did not exist back then, written out in regular notation. It turns out it was song Endings, and or Song beginning Bits/intros., and they were not even specific to any Beatles songs. I think one of them was very similar to closing lines in the Song Slow Down, the Larry Williams song the Beatles did. The 1st ROCK/Blues book I know of came out in late 73 called Improvising Rock Guitar with Pat Thrall, it was BOX SYSTEM for guitar and cliches, think chuck berry. Another word not even Found in the Book, which would be a Cliches today RIFF or Riffing, but that was what it was. Today Guitar instruction is ALL over the Place. Look up the BOOK here on KZread, for the songs on the demo Disk that came with the Book. Quite Historical, we all laughed back then and the Garage/basement band back then plays one of the Demo Songs. LOL.

Oh, so right! Although, learning by wearing out needles and vinyls (I went thru 4 of Kottke's Armadillo albums), was really great ear training. And, all that was good for learning songs but did little for my understanding of theory. Jack is really adept at showing us these morsels.

This is so fundamental and Jack laid it out perfectly. This is the grind you need to learn to play blues or any genre without sounding like you are only doing scale runs. I'm a cheap mf and this is one of the only guitar channels that actually tempts me to buy a course.

I have both of Jack's TrueFire courses and they are excellent. I've been working on his Shades of Blues course for many months now and there is so much incredible information in that one course that I haven't got further than the fourth lesson, mainly because I really want to get the information under my fingers before I move onto another lesson. If you're going to buy one course, I really can't recommend Shades Of Blues enough.

Practised this one for about two hours and really felt I was getting somewhere instead of my usual pentatonic stuff. Terrific lesson. Thanks Jack

One of the greatest guitar lessons I've seen on youtube. This is top notch instruction. Thanks, sir.

Just so super clear- I got immediately how this way of approaching solos applies to any piece. And so calmly delivered- just awesome. Not to mention also that delicious tone on your 335! Thank you thank you THANK YOU from the UK!!!!❤

Outstanding piece of work this Jack... thank you. Rest assured that this very comprehensive roadmap you have set out is exactly what helps.... this took me years to "nut out" on my own and enough grief..... so this is very helpful.

Very gracious of you to share your expertise and knowledge. Getting a lot of miles out of these lessons. Really appreciate it. Thanks

Ok... I just need a moment here... You've just superboosted my understanding on how to navigate the fretboard in a clear, concise and understandable way. You sir, are a true master. Thank you so much!😁

You're very welcome!

Arpeggios are probably the most important musical construct to learn until it becomes a reflexive instinct. It’s so easy to associate with practice the sound shape correlation. I view them as a hybrid of a pentatonic and triad chord tone playing. I guess because that’s what they are, a linking up of triads in a pentatonic scale grip or subset of a pentatonic scale. Great video 👍👍👍

Thanks Jack.......well done.

Only been playing for 60 years but some very useful revision here. Thanks!

Three chords per each of the 5 positions, so it’s E-A-C, D-G-A, C-E-G, A-D-E, and G-C-D shapes. The C7 shape gets used for the B7 chord (down one fret), and the E7 shape gets used for the F7 chord (up one fret). That’s how CAGED covers all 7 letters (ABCDEFG).

I love the tone of that guitar. It's so simple but creamy. I want to play my les paul but my Ibanez semi hollow kind of vibrates like an acoustic but still electric. I cant stop playing it. I need a 335 or 345. Love the channel man.

Very nice

Learning all the 7th chord arpeggio qualities is a task and a half, but once you get them all down I think you can solo over anything really

dom7 book ending triad chord tones comes at a good time with what Im practicing , thanks for people thinking of how to reduce caged shapes into groupings.. G and E shapes are basically serving the 6 string root note chords and C and A shapes serving the 5 string root note chords , for staying more left or right , and there are 3 unique sweeps possible for your basic major , basic minor triads
