Hello Cherries! Have you ever tried to find the Triads within the Pentatonic Shapes 🤨 Triads are groups of three notes (root, third, and fifth) 🧐 By identifying these triads, you can create more melodic and harmonic lines. In this ⬇️ NEW VIDEO ⬇️ I go through all 5 Major Pentatonic Positions, 1 string set at a time. Within these positions were going to play the Major Pentatonic Scale and find the triad within the string set. I offer a FREE PDF of all the graphs that I created for this video. This exercise opens up the fretboard for improvement better than anything I know 🎸 Enjoy the video and have a great weekend everybody 😊

Hello Cherries! Here's a really great approach for your playing. Connect triads with the five major pentatonic scale shapes 🤨 Visualize the triads as embedded within the scale patterns, focusing on the root, third, and fifth notes 🧐 Each pentatonic shape contains multiple triads; identifying these within the shapes allows for more melodic and targeted soloing within the pentatonic framework 🎸 I really love this and I think you will too. We're also taking this one string set at a time. This allows you to really fine tune and limit what you do to make the most out of one area at a time. Enjoy the video and have a great week Everybody 😊

Hello Cherries! If you're looking for a great foundation for playing the major scale all over the fretboard, this is it. The 5 CAGED shapes have 5 Major Scale patterns. You can break the fretboard into manageable sections. Create a deeper understanding of how scales and chords relate to each other on the guitar. By connecting the scale patterns and their corresponding chords, you can build a strong foundation for creating melodic phrases and improvising across the fretboard. Enjoy this ⬇️ NEW VIDEO ⬇️ and have a great weekend everybody 😎

Hello Cherries! Here's a new thing I've been doing. My guitar straight into an amp. No fancy filming or edits. It's as real as it gets 🎸 Still giving some valuable info on guitar. I hope that you enjoy it. Today we're playing Double-Stops. There are so many great teachers/players out there on YouTube and many far better than me. But one thing I see all the time in their lessons is that they're leaving a giant hole in a certain topic. The harmony of the Double-Stops or Diads, "2 note chords." They play these double-stops and I believe that they're confusing students. Playing over a diatonic 1 4 5 progression or a blues 1 4 5 is completely different. In this new video I'll show you what that difference it. Enjoy the video and have a great week Everybody 😊

Hello Cherries! The CAGED system is based on five open guitar chord shapes (C, A, G, E, and D) 🤨 In this video I'm going to show you how to navigate the fretboard by connecting these shapes to the major scale 🧐 Each shape can be moved up the neck and these shapes provide a framework for understanding the major scale's positions across the fretboard. By playing the major scale in 5 positions that relate to the 5 chord shapes, you'll cover the entire fingerboard. This will make your playing more melodic 🎸 It really doesn't get much cooler than this especially on a hot summer day 😎 Enjoy the video and have a great week Everybody 😊

Hello Cherries! I uploaded this video yesterday but decided to take it down and re-upload it. I added some graphics to help focus on what triads I'm playing. I hope that helps. I've been searching for years to find the perfect framework for playing guitar and I believe that this is it 🤨 It involves playing a chord progression in just one position of the fretboard using triads 🧐 Once you get that, move on to the other 4 positions, one at a time 🎸 You can use these triads to highlight chord tones in your solos. Focus on targeting the root, third, and fifth of each chord within the progression. Incorporate these notes and their inversions into your licks and phrases. You'll create a strong sense of the underlying harmony and make your solos sound more melodic and purposeful 😎 Enjoy the video and have a great week Everybody 😊
