I second that 👍💯🎶
Jules, Been stuck in a rut for decades; and couldn't move on until you revealed some theory, that would never have crossed my mind, Thank You so much, nice work.
I love how you give a great camera angle PLUS the big fretboard to see what you're playing. YOU my friend are my NEW BEST GUITAR TEACHER! Thankyou tons!!
Your lessons are so easy to follow. it’s amazing that I learn more in ten minutes watching your videos than hours watching other videos for hours! Keep up the great work my friend!
Heck yeah! Beginner to bluesman like Clapton! Those blue notes and fret changes offer color and a professional lead lines. Combine with timing and an “ear” for the right key, and Jules has opened real player opportunities!!
One of the best little tutorials I've ever watched for improving my soloing. Thanks heaps for sharing - I'm off to practice it right now!
Excellent lesson. Simple. Direct. Potent. Actionable. Griff Hamlin put out an excellent 4 note blues solo video some years ago. You are adding much more context to that. Stich puts out lots of videos about pentatonic boxes and techniques in down to earth ways on his channel. Your touch and insights deeply enriches that conversation. Congrats Jules. Great job.
Just brilliant Jules, your lesson presentations are second to none. Thank you.
Really useful and very helpful from a practical standpoint!! Here, we have another manifestation of the very well known principle of "less is more". Great job Jules, thanks so much!!
Fantastic as always! I find your channel is the easiest and most fun to understand. Thank you so much.
Hands down one of the best lessons I've seen in a long time. Thank you.
This is one of the best guitar vids! Gets you playing good sounding solos straight away while introducing some music theory that is actualy understandable. Well done Jules!!!
Well done Jules. Another relaxed and informative lesson.
Impressively clear and easy to follow! Great job. I've already tried using the box and it works amazingly well! Thank you
You make it easy!! Thank you for your generous spirit, Jules.
I'm a beginner that's wanting to get into my bluesy stuff beyond chords; this video is absolutely perfect!
Genious shape. Thanks for sharing :) You have opened my eyes on everything pentatonic, blues, minor and major conected together!
Hey Jules don't stop! we love your videos.
Jules - you are the MAN… thank you for your great, helpful videos.
Gorgeous lessons, Jules! Thank you so much😊
Great video...To clarify, this is only for the Em or relative G major key. Assuming in this video the root note is E, then I guess we move the "box' up or down the neck so the root is on whatever key we are in...? Thanks guys.
Wow! This helped me a lot as I’m a beginner struggling with making my solos more melodic. Much appreciated!!!
your guitar is always so clean. Like, physically clean. And your videos are GREAT
I really like the way you put things together, Thank you!
That was superb, well explained and great demo

Best video yet. Pivots with congestion box is really good.

Great lesson, Jules. I’ll put it to use right now. Thx!

Thank you. A really useful lesson.
Very well-explained brother. The relaxed groove and jazzy style is coming through loud and clear. Keep your videos going, you're making guitar players out of every viewer that watches you.
Your videos are excellent ! Formidable pédagogie, des concepts qui simplifient la théorie et l’approche du manche ! Big big up & thanks🇫🇷✨👍🏼🙏🏻🍒
Fabulous. Thanks for a brilliant lesson.
Brilliant way of illustrating the fretboard finger placement! Makes it easier to understand and see how the shapes are made, imo... I'm still a newbie after a whole lifetime of playing by my amateur ear... Always room to learn!! Thank You Friend! 👍🙋♀️🎄
Very useful information. Love that blue Strat!!
Absolutely great. More please sir.

Well, I've struggled for years and never really got anywhere (Home Hobby Player) Managed to put a tune together with a pink floyd backing track but nothing else but you describe every note/scale clearly so I will persevere with your teaching, Thanks so much and keep up the good work! subscribed with 2 minutes of watching you.

Hang in there. I've been playing 40 plus years and I still feel like that at times. A teacher I had many years ago once said: "Don't be afraid to experiment and explore the improbable. It's the things you discover on your own that really stick with you and define you as a player"
Very cool video on how the frying pan shape without the handle fits into the blues and major scale.
those solos sounds dope :D
Very well done
Brilliant!!
Your right this works bro. Very well.thought.
Thanks bro got me playing this right off ( just a beginner) Nice explanation keep up the good work
Love it!
I love this video Jules. This is genius level instruction that I needed in my first ten guitar lessons 50 years ago! This is really going to move me to the next level. Thank you, Thank you THANK YOU! Subscribing.....
Thank you, Jules. Your channel is the only one I've seen that has the tabs shown exactly how we see you playing the notes. I've asked on multiple channels why the tabs are upside down, and have been told "that's the way it's done". I feel that is a poor response, especially for someone learning guitar that wants to play what they are watching and not have to flip the frets around in their head to do it.
Great informative lesson! When improvising on a Jazz Rock piece or taking a short solo in a R&B song ...typically it involves positions . They are fingerings which you memorize and apply during improvisation and you connect them by using chromaticism or Pentatonic passages. If a tune is mainly in A7 you simply alter the fingerings to sound fitting...also do it with a chord progression that revolves around a Major7th...and then there are minor keys.....or harmonic minors stylistically based more on traditional desert music of the Middle East with a Jazz blend. You alter the fingerings in all 12 keys and you attempt different styles of music. Egyptian or traditional Japanese melodies of the 14th century. This takes years of practice . Hours of devotion . It does come natural overtime. 😊
BB mastered this concept.
Fantastic...got it
Brilliant!
OMgosh- new subscriber- thank you
Great for beginners, to get creative with just four notes. Did that too few months after starting guitar. 4 notes in different order and length and played with all possible fingering techniques: slide in/out, half, whole, one-and-half step bends, prebends, micro bends, hammer ons/pull offs… and so on. Then later maybe adding some other two notes which lay near by. Then playing the same lick emulating different genres and styles: jazzy, blues, rock, dreamy. I call it “milking a sequence”

Best teacher
I've been trying to learn how to go up and down the neck for awhile now after getting tired of trying to find someone else to play lead. I've decided I'm camping out here. LOL Until I figure it out. Great video and channel!
guitar hero always master class
this guy is so fkn awesome
wonderous
It’s INSANE!!! Absolutely & utterly INSANE!!! It’s MORE INSANE than all the others INSANE videos! INSANE it is!!!
sure made that simple ,, thanks
This guy is the best
Thankyou for this - digging out my 1990 American Standard later and having a play with this pentatonic. I’m SO lazy with scales but life will be over before I get it done if I don’t hurry up ha :)
Your playing reminded me a bit of the Peter Green/ Snowy White track, Slabo Day ❤
Cool 😎, just subscribed

Bro…excellent video. When it comes to soloing with a person singing do you use chord tones or solo in rhythm with the song?
I like your term 'box'. Similar to your 3 fret box, I use a 4 fret box which (in the act of noodling) I discover is the about same 4 notes used in a less convenient position. But it is a useful exercise for the pinky finger in the overall quest to finding an out of tune string. Still, there's risk of hitting a bum note - a note that doesn't resolve up or down. The note that makes people think, 'he doesn't know what he's doing'. more fun than video games.
Thanx Jules. (:
Thank U
I would prefer the graphic of the neck on screen to go from low E to High from the bottom of the screen, and left to right- as it would be looking down at the guitar when I'm playing it. Otherwise, this was very concise and well explained, and I've been playing 30 years. Always looking for inspiration and new tricks. Nice video mate 🤘👌👍
Thank you, Jules! ❤
Can you tell us about your KIT : what guage strings are you using , how are you getting all the sustain , with a slight edgy distortion ,, pedals , àlso are you "treating" the strings with anything ?
Great Lesson, I just found your channel. One Note, could you flip your guitar neck the other way, I think most of guitarist are right handed and looking it flipped, will be like us looking at our own Neck. Thanks Jules.
I love that blue Strat. Is it in Lake Placid blue?
great
