JOIN THE DISCORD VIEW THREADYou do a great job..its just that im having trouble with some things and its because its new to me and im older and i dont get to practice a lotI try to offer the "easiest" fingerings in all of the lessons. That being said - it's all subjective. It's only easier for me. lol. You may find an alternate fingering that's easier for you. When I learn something for the first time - I ALWAYS try alternate fingerings to find the most comfortable fingering. It gives me the best chance not to fuck up when I'm playing it live. : )
Yes it's D for this one.I am very new to theory and having a difficult time understanding all of this. He seems to just jump into the CAGED system without properly explaining the positions or scales themselves. This is all in the key of D correct? How do we know this? I have to constantly pause the video and look up scales to figure out what I am playing I am just having a hard time trying to figure out what it is I am supposed to take away from these videos. I can't practice doing the double stops and sliding in and out of scales because I still don't know the scale shapes well enough but that hasn't been covered in a video yet. The videos are great and I am learning but still feel like every couple of sentences he brushes over a topic or says a word as if it's already known but hasn't been covered yet in the video and I have no idea what he is talking about. Any advice would be welcome!
I did. I still feel like the whole picture has not been painted for me. In his video explaining the major scale he explains the formula which I understand and plays the scale but he doesn't play the scale on either of the E strings, so I don't feel like I truly know the shape. Also, the major scales he is playing throughout the CAGED videos change shape and I don't remember him showing all the different shapes of the major scales. The only time I remember him mentioning positions was when he was referring to 1st position as near the neck. But in these videos I think he is referring to positions as where the root note of a scale is. I just feel like there's something that is clicking for everyone else that I'm not getting. I've watched these videos several times and have tried to sit with the information and practice but am still feeling lost and unable to connect the dots.Yes it's D for this one.
I have question for you, did you start with lesson 1 or jumped straight into CAGED? Fundamentals of guitar should explain everything you need.
The idea of the CAGED system is to change shape while playing the same notesI did. I still feel like the whole picture has not been painted for me. In his video explaining the major scale he explains the formula which I understand and plays the scale but he doesn't play the scale on either of the E strings, so I don't feel like I truly know the shape.

I'm a bit late but to answer your question. The major pentatonic scale really is just the major scale with the 4th and 7th taken out so there's absolutely no problem doing that.Is it kosher to hop back and forth in between pentatonic and major scales? I did it a couple times without thinking about it and it didn't sound terrible. For instance, I started in the major scale then slid up and continued in the pentatonic scale. I'd assume it's okay, considering most of the notes overlap, but I was curious as to what everyone else thought.
A double stop is two notes played together, which notes you okay together is usually determined by which intervals you like the sound of when played together. I mean you're probably not gonna do a double stop with a b5 and the root or b2 and the root.I don't still understand the double notes construction...
For C shape, we built it according to the shape (or the arpegios changing the cord at reach step) 23 / 32 / 24 / 45 / 55 /52
So for A shape I though that will be 57 / 77 / 77/ 75 / 55 but instead Papa gates show us a different double stop: 77 / 55 /77 /54/ 77/45 / 55 / 45
What is the logic behind double stop construction? can we associative two notes of the scale ? because some association seems non conclusive (7 on A string and 4 on D string so E and F#) Is it because I associate the second and the third together ?
Do you understand lessons 8,9 and 20? That's where building chords, the major scale and the pentatonic scale is explained.I don't understand how to build the pentatonic scale or the major scale just off the chord, maybe I'm just missing something, idk.
I will check those out and perhaps then I will understand, and thank you!Do you understand lessons 8,9 and 20? That's where building chords, the major scale and the pentatonic scale is explained.
I didn't exactly understand how do i know how to play the Scale shown in the video, Can someone help?
