When I learned guitar 35 years ago I did it with a Mel Bay 'Learn How to Play Guitar' book from my local music store. I then subscribed to Guitar Magazine and waited anxiously every month for a new issue so I could learn more songs and study the lessons inside. In between I listened to records and tried to learn songs with my favorite guitar players by ear. We live in a world today were in 15 minutes a guy supper talented shares with you ideas that took YEARS to learn. Heck, in 3 hours of KZitem lessons a beginning guitar player gets the CAGED systems, triads, pentatonic shapes up and down the fretboard, etc. I'm so grateful for having access to this material today. I hope anyone starting out appreciates the FREE lessons available by great instructors that have spent years learning this stuff only to pour that knowledge out for us to digest in minutes not countless hours. It's awesome. And no...I'm not a boomer. I started guitar when I was 10!!!

Simple but really powerful. I can see why so many good players constantly emphasize knowing triads all over the neck. For a while I just nodded and moved on. Once I started really trying to learn them things started to open up, although I still have a long way to go.

CAGED is the fretboard's super highway. Thank you for continuing to share some of your routes, Jack. I think we all wind up creating various fretboard roadmaps relative to how we initially learned to play -- by ear or by theory. I haven't met many players who felt they did both at the same time. I'm from the play by ear camp who backtracked to tackle theory many years later. And the biggest gift that that unending journey offers? Theory gives me a deeper understanding of what I have already assembled by ear (i.e. chord tones, scale choices, triads, modes, different chord voicings -- long before I learned what CAGED was etc.) while continuing to open new avenues of possibility and connection. As I continue to apply theory to what I already know, new knowledge is synthesized and new or better roadmaps are created or become accessible. This is one reason why I have such respect for players/people like you. I appreciate your willingness to both show and to tell, how and why it is that any one of your roadmaps -- in your glove box of road maps -- gets you where you want to go. Many thanks, Jack.

I could be way off base with this comment, but I'm going to start with the premise that your opening solo is just so marvelously delicious and tasty. The phrasing and licks are so delightfully melodic and expressive, those growling double stops adding just the right sassiness - man I could listen to that solo all day long! That said, I'm wondering whether studying that solo involves far, far more than the triadic concept you explained so well. My sense is that there is a certain magic in that solo that is impossible to capture by breaking down the note choices. It sort of reminds me of the way Larry Carlton teaches. Sure, you can follow his explanations, but his solos involve so much more than that - just like yours. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Sharing how you’re visualizing the shapes (both Triad, and Scale) together is a great tip. I’m trying to do both visualization (mapping) and listening. Actively listen to the melody, and letting the next note come out of that is great. Having a fret board map, can help you not get lost. Folding all of these concept together gives a structure to hang improvisation…endlessly interesting

Excellent lesson. I am stuck somewhere between the second and final example. I can play the chord tones as the chords go by but not musically. I'll keep plugging away. I think a big part of it is internalizing the harmony so that you are anticipating the changes. Then being able to hear a melody that you can get out. Takes a lot of listening to good players and then being able to access the vocabulary. Slowly but surely I'll get there. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi, Thanks for sharing ❤ I have a few questions though …. 1) Do you focus specifically on hitting the 3rd on the change of each chord as it changes, or just any chord tone as the chord change sounds? 2) Do you finish your phrase or sentence a half or whole step within the scale before your next targeted note for a chord change? Example : Em to Am ( minor key v to i change , without changing the v to V) So let’s say each chord lasts for 1 bar each in a loop. Em sounds and we hit a chord tone at the same time, then we create a little phrase while it (Em) rings, that maybe resolves to the B note on the “And of 4….. Now Am sounds and I hit a C note as it sounds and maybe make a little scale phrase that resolves to the root note before the Am stops ringing….. Is that kind of how you’re thinking as you’re improvising your leads? Or do you have specific beginning tones or ending tones based more on the functionality of the chord in the progression? Or even chord tones on certain strong beats? I love your phrases and I am trying to get a better idea of how you think about your note choices from chord to chord. Thanks in Advance ❤😊👍

Nice, Jack. All makes perfect sense… What would you say to someone (ok, me) who has trouble keeping two concurrent thoughts in his head? That is, thinking of a solo line AND knowing which chord is currently in the background (add in any time sig counting & it’s 3 things). I imagine if you played the track and randomly stopped it while I’m soloing, I might not know what chord was on when you stopped it. Thanks!

I liked the lesson, and appreciated it. But I just had a conversation with a friend of mine who grew up with a certain EVH. He learned to play guitar and used his ear to figure out songs. I'm trying to learn the piano and the ukulele after my retirement, and a handicap of having two left ears. I can't audiate, I don't have music in my head. I'm beginning to hear what should go together, but I didn't hear all the subtleties you mentioned. I understood it, but putting it in practice won't be an easy process. Oh Well. I'll just have to work at it. I'm better now than two years ago.
