Hi Keith, I have been playing the acoustic guitar for about 30 years now. After years of feeling "trapped" within the confines of the first 5 frets, I decided that I needed to start learning the notes of the fretboard. I've watched countless videos on everything from the CAGED-system to triads. They all kept saying that I need to visualize the chords within the scales, but - try as I might - I just couldn't. This video is the first one I've seen, where I actually had two "aha-moments": how the diagonal movement in octaves relates to CAGED, and using the rectangle and stack for the pentatonic, as well as how the warp affects both. I really feel like your way of explaining these patterns has unlocked a door to visualization for me! Thanks!

I was very surprised by the content this channel illustrated in this video! The information was well explained and went in depth where most music teachers would shake it off. Thank you so much for making such a topic well understood! New subbed, looking forward to coming back for more!šŸ˜šŸ™

I recently read on a guitar forum a post from a guy who had played for years and had been stuck for a while. He memorized the fretboard and suddenly one evening as he played...he was able to jam out and he played for a couple hours. He said it all came together because he could see what he was doing as he played things he knew while thinking of the notes he was playing. It made me realize that I need to be able to know what note I'm playing at all times, which is why I'm here! Thank you for creating these videos and the PDFs!
