Out of the hundreds if not thousands of guitar teachers on KZread , your lessons / tutorials are consistently head and shoulders above the vast majority in content and clarity . I’ve learned so much . Thank you

What a fantastic lesson! I've been playing for 20+ years and still found nuggets of goodness in here. So well structured and explained. I'll be saving this for my future self and students. Bravo!

Just saw this comment before turning in after a long day, and just want to say thanks so much for sharing some positive feedback and encouragement. Have an awesome night. -Rob

Super useful as always. It is a pleasure to follow along.

One of the best lessons I have watched, thanks very easy to follow & apply

What a great lesson , tied all those loose ends together, taught so much in such a short time, totally appreciate you talent, thanks for sharing 🤙🏽

Thank you! One of the most useful lessons at my stage of playing I've come across. Such useful information to put to heart and experiment from. Thank you for speaking my language! ❤

! Excellent lesson. Thanks.

Great job sir, can’t wait to check this out… 🎸

This is pure gold! Wow! Thank you so very much dude! Peace out!

Dig your lessons man. You got a nice energy.

Wow, Rob. Thanks for this! I was just playing around today, trying to jam in I, IV, V chords (different ones), and trying to figure out how to remember the different positions. Then I got that text from you, telling me about this video! Talk about perfect timing! This is what I needed! Today, too! Thank you so much. I was obviously ready for it. Now I can improvise for any chord, in any key. I'll just have to practice a few times to find the chords more quickly. But, since I'm familiar with CAGED chords all over the neck, that won't be a problem. (And, the G shape is my favorite!) 👍 👌 😁

Awesome teacher, I'm 65 and learning so much, you make it easy thank you.

BB box in the third position was what I was missing all these years. 😮 Thank you my man, very much appreciated. Some important light bulbs just lit up for me.

If you are learning that the BB king box is the third position after playing for YEARS, then something is wrong and you need to take a step back. The various positions of the, in this case, pentatonic scales is paramount. Learn the positions of the pentatonic scales left, right, up, down and across......and then a new world will open up to you. I would say someone playing 6 months should already know that position. I didn't say that would sound great, that is what the lessons are for. But years not knowing this?

This really is a great & informative lesson & so well explained . Thanks for that!!

Much appreciated Jason, and it’s my pleasure. Enjoy your practice, and let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for a follow up. Have fun! - Rob

Great licks to get under the fingers. Many thanks!

Great lesson

Very very good lesson thx a lot

it basically playing the notes that are in each barred chord anywhere on the neck depending on what key your in and very good advice in my opinion , after 30 years of being a rytm guitarist but wanting to play lead and make it scream and sing even though im hapy being guitar george knowing all the chords

Many thanks ❤

Great lesson! Never thought I'd hear myself saying "I'm a Swiftie", but now I am!

Thank you bro for the marvelous teaching ❤.im from srilanka.

Hi Rob, thanks for yet another great lesson. I will also add I really like the personal touch of a text message. Thankful for you. David

My sentiments exactly Rob! The text was a nice personal touch. Actually, you are spot on with my experience at this time. I can make some beautiful noise (Neil Diamond) but just need more for my musical toolbox. Thank you Rob!

Thanks a lot sir

Hi Rob. As always, your lessons are wonderful, and your playing is a pleasure to listen to. I have a question. How can I send you a personal message about a new acoustic guitar product, without mentioning it on your channel. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

I've been trying to solo in a 100 different methods and always get confused--thank you for this method--finally one that is doable for me, kudos, buddy.

I want you to keep making teaching clips, teachers from Thailand.

thx 4 the text Rob, always look forward to one of my fav, if not favorite artist here😊

Muito bom.

My pleasure Mike!

Although I agree with marrying of the chord shapes with the various licks, positions, etc..... I sincerely feel that an understanding of the various pentatonic scale positions is the way to go. Although scales were being pushed...The "extension" taught, early in the lesson, is not an extension; its the next position in the scale. That should be the take away. Just teach that and say you are using the lower end of the position. Only so much time in the day to write and I loved the lesson. Learn the scale position folks, learn how to move between them. That is the ticket!

Coming through with another killer lesson that is so invaluable to us lesser mortals. Hail to the Maestro. I wish I was as good at guitar as I am at laying on the charm thicker than a big dollop of peanut butter.

Being shown as Strings and frets instead of tab or added to it would make it a whole lot easier to remember. That's the first thing I did draw the notes out as they are on the fret board. .. this is almost impossible to remember anything being shown as tab. JMO. GREAT LESSON 👍 TOO NOTCH 👍. THANKS

That's what I'm working on. I know I'm limited. Thanks Rob for your lessons that open our blues playing road! 🎶🎶🎶

My pleasure Nicole! This will provide you with a bunch of great options for taking a solo. Even still, this is the foundation that I use for most of my solos, though I often build upon it with arpeggios, and a couple of other boxes or scales depending on the context. Have fun! -Rob

Hi Rob, great lesson as usual, but I can’t get my head around how the e chord in the c position raps around the bb’s box, appreciate a bit of help. Cheers

@swiftlessons

Ай бұрын

Great question, the C shape overlaps with the major pentatonic scale in that position, which contains most of the notes found in the BBs box. At minimum, it serves as a place marker for memorizing the position of that box.

You are a good teacher only thing when you come to BB box you looks like BB

Great lesson, but a question off topic. You seem to lay your fingers flat across the fretboard. Is this the correct way to play when soloing, as opposed to playing chords/rhythm guitar?

@swiftlessons

Ай бұрын

Generally less space is better, as you can use the underside of your fingers to block and mute the strings you’re not using, which prevents unwanted hum. This also facilitates string raking and percussive elements.

Great lesson I wished you used electric guitar for that
