I love how Jack says, in short: Copy the great players... which is of course sage advice: But start by copying jack first... because he's done the work and you can just park your car right here and fill your tank with premium licks and runs - as tasteful and stylish as the best of all times / subscribe and start breaking his stuff down today, I've gotten better in less than a month just by literally stealing his runs - its PURE GOLD people... this has been a lifesaver for me and I've been playing for almost 40 years

Nailed it, this guy makes me feel like a kid again and I’m 70!

The more I watch Jack, the more I realize the man is an encyclopedia of music theory. Going through those shapes and scales like that with no mistakes, no pauses, and no cuts of the camera is pretty amazing. The Lord gave you a gift my friend!

This is the first lesson in a long time that I kept coming back to practice until it felt solid. So easy to look for knowledge anywhere else instead of deepening what's already there!

I can't get enough of your playing. Beautiful phrasing, clever lines, and you let every solo breathe. Thanks so much for another brilliant video. -Mark

What an excellent lesson. I'm 72, and I've been playing acoustic guitar my whole life. I just recently bought an Epiphone Dot and a little Fender Vibro-Champ amp. I am having a blast, thanks to these great Jack Ruch tutorials. Thank you, Jack!

Hola Jack! Saludos desde Argentina. Sos un gran guitarrista y excelente docente. Abrazo grande.

JACK! Watching and listening to the first 56 seconds of this video reminds me of the the first time I heard Robben Ford or Mike Bloomfield, even Clapton with the Bluesbreakers! Except that you present it without going over the top with show off speed, playing so classy with that extra touch of jazzy knowledge that makes the simplest riffs come alive with newness, it kills me! Playing 56 years now I’m 70 years old and Robben’s teaching course I took was complicated when it didn’t need to be, like he was showing off during his “lessons” I came away feeling like I learned nothing. Flat. More knowledgeable but uninspired. Your touch, sound, FEEL, and “outside the box” knowledge just kills me, like the first time I heard you. Makes this old man feel the way I felt the first time I heard Bloomfield, etc. like a kid again- excited! Thank You Again!! - SJB

Jack’s voice is smooth as his playing.

Jack, great lesson thank you. In the middle of your Truefire Course and loving it. Many thanks.

One of my favorite guitarists.

I already love your playing and lessons. I have been playing professionally for years but you can Always learn something new. Thank you Sir..

The most helpful, thorough and well-explained guitar video I have ever found. My worst student could comprehend this.

Great lesson Jack! Super helpful to show the same 3 chords ( scales and arpeggios) in all those different positions so a student my find one they might not be familiar with and can use that for strengthening their ability to improvise more freely. Have a blessed day! Keep up the killer work!

Jack, you're a hero man. The way you play is so nuanced and beautiful, but also the way you explain things is very clear and practical. Thanks a lot!

I’ve been teaching myself for about 2 years and this is the most fluent and descriptive video I’ve seen on the subject, thanks Jack!

@JackRuch

Great man! Thank you

I've loosely known these 'layers' of scales and arpeggios for a little while but struggled to incorporate them into a coherent exercise. Seeing a full demonstration of this in each position of the neck is just what I need to consolidate that information. Thank you very much. I know this one will bear results.

Great stuff Jack. I really appreciate you sharing all of this. I’ve learned more since I discovered you than I have in the last 10 years!

Absolutely brilliant lesson! Thank you Jack! So clearly explained. This is really something to sink my teeth into.

Incredibly useful. I’ve been looking for a comprehensive approach to straight up practicing/exercising and this is perfect. Thank you!

This video is gold, and very well-presented, thank you!

Been playing a while and though I use all of these, the practice of them in the way you describe is gold. Thanks from way down in New Zealand. Love your relaxed groove and feel. I’m a big fan and so glad I found you. 🙏🏼

❤ - Tremendous wealth of information for Dominant Blues, Thank You….. very easy connection of the pentatonics and arpeggios for the various positions. Format was perfect… 1) Example Solo / Transcribed 2) Chords in backing 3) Scales Used 4) Target Chord Tones / Arpeggios 5) Connecting each fretboard Position. LOVED IT!!! ❤ *** Could You please consider doing this for a Minor Blues in G.

Man, I love your playing, your tone and your lessons!! Great stuff. And I love the Mockingbird 😍

Discovered you thru Michael Parmisano,Brett papa and Guthrie trapp. After a huge life change once again music saved my life as it did 30years ago when shuggie Otis changed my path from a suicide attempt to deep,deep connection. Sitting down and soaking the teaching is as powerful. I am grateful you replied to a comment I posted and I am so excited to learn more .sorry for this novel!! Blessings and love to you and family x

You're very welcome!

Your knowledge and ability of this has been a (needed) gentle rebuke. I have been playing Professionally since 1966, but I realize how that got in my way. "Well, I'm already making my living doing what I love, and on a fairly large scale, so I don't need to work on all of that." (Opened for the Allman Bros. in '69, and Ricky Nelson in '71). That was FOOLISH thinking. I share this now, for any of your students who may fall into that self defeating nonsense. I let YEARS go by where I basically played the same thing every night and spent NO time at all learning anything beyond what I knew. DON'T DO THAT! I watch your fluidity and your immediate knowledge of WHAT you're playing, and I kick myself in the butt! That being said, I want to thank you for posting such a valuable lesson, and encourage your students to LEARN IT... ALL OF IT! God Bless You!

Wow!!! So refreshing to hear a player choosing all the right notes instead of fuzzed out mindless noodling. Must have listened to Larry Carlton and Robben Ford a time or two. As a brand new subscriber I have to say I sure am glad I stumbled across this channel.

You are one of my favorite guitarists by far... Keep them coming...
