Let’s see you do this at 70 plus years old and working as an automotive technician/mechanic for fifty plus years!!!

I had to figure this all out on my own back when I was 12 years old. I remembered everything as a ‘pattern’, not a scale. Then I figured out I could connect patterns. If only we had KZread back in the early 70’s…..

I also figured this out on my own, and assumed most other guitarists serous about improvisation did likewise. I'm not sure I could have absorbed it as a lesson, as presented here, without having first reached a point where I needed it.

exactly..

Map this out on a huge legal piece of paper- all 5 shapes. Learn slides to get into one shape, then the next shape. Then, use a backing track called VAMP e.g., A min. VAMP. Play this over that. On your diagram, highlight the ROOT note and land on it more often. That is key. Eventually you need to learn how to play to the chord changes. Knowing where your roots are is very important.

@@tomcripps7229 Cool tip, thanks. I prefer it though larger and in landscape orientation. Do they sell one like that? 2 on a page is better. I see 4 is Portrait. The value of a book can be to keep things organized. You just inspired me to make my own- came out great! Thanks. I also have the software to make it on the PC but it can be annoying to use. This will be great for quickly jotting down some ideas, chords, etc. How did you learn- are there any teachers you like? I am really digging on Jamey Arent lately. And Guitar Zombie is always great.Nice Martin by the way. Autumn sounded nice. This was a really cool and easy lesson by Jamey. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmus1reFmtWXY8o.html&ab_channel=JameyArent I am also trying to master intervals and triads. I signed up for this guys course too. I have to say though, I prefer the way Jamey teaches. Even a master player does not always make for a good teacher. I signed up because I like how Jack sounds- doing the lesson but still not getting there yet. I am however learning to appreciate and focus on "playing the changes" more. So much to learn! kzread.info/dash/bejne/eqplw6uBp9DKibQ.htmlsi=AAvGlBxia3qEjzcg&t=1 Cheers!

Been learning your methods for a while. I can feel and see in my mind this slow mapping, tagging and listening has. Its like having a mirror of a guitar in my mind. If we put in quality information in digestible sizes the mind seems to do most of the sorting and connecting. Thanks Rotem 🌄💯😎

Love your lessons !! Always very useful ! ! Steps SIX i am going to practice that a lot ! I used to practice a lot pantatonic scales exactly as you showed ! and it pays off to own that 150% before applying it ! :)

I really appreciate the time you take for these informative videos!!

Killer lesson. You just totally inspired me.

Always spectacular. Thank you🙏🏾👊🏾

Nicely presented and explained. and it's not that hard ! So many people just end up learning 2 patterns and maybe a diagonal, when learning the other 3 and connecting it all up takes so little extra work, and opens up so much potential.

Great advice at the end there!! Thanks for the video- really useful.

Always great stuff, thoughtful and unique lessons. Practice music, peace, and love!

Just what I needed. Thanks, Rotem...

This is brilliant 🤩 thanks so much 👍🏻

Thank you for sharing your tips ❤❤

This is gem. Thank you so much my teacher.

Excellent idea for making scales fun & enjoyable sound creation

Sounds good. I will experiment with this idea.

Great video 📹 Thank you so much! Very informative ❤🎉

Very interesting lesson. Thank you What kind of Chords Progression coud be played over this F Penta ?

Hey Rotem, thanks for the practicing inspiration! Speaking of inspiration, I notice you humming along with your playing and find it heartwarming! BUT bro, you have to try this, it's a recent discovery and I thought you'd benefit as it improved my singing and playing immensely: try consciously breathing into your diaphragm while playing (not into the chest and not holding air), it will free your rhythm and your arms. It may take a week or two to get used to, but it is so worth it. The trick is to consistently breathe into your "belly" while practicing what you practice and focus on not raising your chest. You're such an amazing musician and it feels weird to give you a "tip" as I respect the F out of you, but I know how much it did for me! Cheers mate, hope you can try it.

I am looking for something similar that I can use with a item like yours rather then buy a commercially made one. Yours looks more DIY. Thanks in advance the info would be very helpful. Philip

Thank you What is the story with that red string wrapped around the neck of the guitar and the 1st fret , and the corck next to the pickup? :)

Is that a modified ES-175? My dream guitar. Maybe post a video on its build and controls...

It’s all about GOIN’ DEEP !!

Just lear n to play E Dom 9 and Em 9 arpeggios all over the neck. The E min 9 swaps a M2 for the P4 in the E pentatonic minor. The E Dom 7 does the above and also swaps a M3 for t he m3 as it is chord based on the E triad, E A♭ B. Or just play E Dorian as E Dorian is a E pentatonic minor with a M2 and M6 as passing tones.

Was this the F Minor scale all positions? In stage 6 did you just have an F chord playing and hitting the F notes through out the scale? Thank you, great video

Anyone know why Rotem has the cord wrapped around the head?

Pro tips alert!

what a wonderful generous video lesson and absolutely spot on Rotem! however did you really 'crack your knuckles" at 9:10 im just rubbing my fingers thinking about it!..

What do you think of adding stickers with notes, e.g. 1, 3, 5,, 6, so it’s easier to see the spots at the beginning? Later on these can be removed.

This would hinder you from actually learning the patterns and how to connect them. Just take it in small chunks, and when you've got that bit , move to the next. Don't overwhelm yourself with too much at a time. You will be surprised how quickly you will learn them and they start to become muscle memory. Eventually you will hear the interval before you play it.

Later you will learn to move the shape around so that starting on fret 1 it's F on the third it's G and on the fifth it's in the key of A. If you lay down stickers in one place you will for sure learn the finger pattern but that's only appropriate for a single key and the stickers are immediately in your way if you play in another (move the same shape up the neck). That's why others are telling you to experience and remember the shape in your head; it's so you can move it freely. [@others yes I know technically those positions are F,G and A minor rather than major but hey one beginner step at a time!!]

@MOAB-UT

6 ай бұрын

Ever watch the Sopranos? Remember..."ForGet About It." F.G.A. No stickers needed. Or make up your own silly mnemonic. Focus on those three to start so the F (is the "1" on fret one) G( the "2" in the F Major scale, located at fret 3) A(the 3rd on fret 5). In the F major scale, those are the first three...1, 2, 3. Do you know your musical alphabet? It would be good to learn...so if you played the F Major scale all on one string (the top of bottom as an example), F G A Bb(fret 4), (C the 5 on fret 8), D (the 6th on fret 10), E (the 7 on fret 12) (F on fret 13 completes the Octave- goes back to being a 1. The Major scale has 7 tones aka Diatonic. If it's easier for now, just worry about the first three. Tip. Chords are made from the 1, 3 and 5 or if minor, 1, flat 3 and 5 notes. An F Major chord has the notes F, A, and C. You will often hear the progression as being a 1, 4, 5. Now you know where that all comes from! So a 1,4,5 in F Major would be the chords F, Bb and C. Notes alone are neither major or minor. They can be sharp or flat. It seems a lot but it is honestly not hard at all- just unfamiliar. The level is basic HS math.

7:31 Sad it is! I'm procrastinating in front of my desk computer at the office. No guitars here. :P

GREAT LESSON but, no matter what I do, I can't seem to link the patterns. Been trying for years. I get so thrown off and lost. This is why I mainly play by ear and shapes. I just can't remember all these patterns and link them up the neck. It's a mess.

I know English is not your mother tongue. The word (very important for a music teacher) you were looking for when you said “soundly” should have been SONICALLY. You may already know the word and simply couldn’t remember it in the moment but I figured I’d refresh your memory just in case. There. Now you have taught me and I have taught you! 😊

2:00 you switched to playing D instead of Eb.

Don’t have a guitar handy can you send me one 😮

I didn't know that Rocco play the guitar.

Didn't know Rocco Siffredi can play Guitar *lol*

If you don't have a guitar, so sad! Lol

Watches this a few times and its not really telling me anything other than practice scale over and over.

So THE Pentatonic shape is just is just UNBELIEVABLE is just the pentatonic scale positions....like literally.....on the guitar? man you thumb nails are friggin insane haha

Control.. check. Flow…. Check. Phrasing … check. Speed …. not so much

I feel like I’m cheating playing legato.

So, in a very complicated and convoluted way, all you're saying is learn the pentatonic scale all over the neck. DUH!

too much info, much better to focus on the g shape, then part of the c shape and the e shape, then slowly adding the other shapes. i started with all the 5 shapes, it was too much, i needed to focus on the trees

There’s no way this is a Gibson.
