Hey guys! Its your good buddy, Uncle Ben Eller, back again with Weekend Wankshop 262. In this lesson, i'm going to show you the keys to instant fretboard freedom by just learning two easy-to-visualize patterns for the major (ionian) and minor (aeloean) scales!!! They're extremely simple and will work perfectly in ANY key.
If you can master these simple 3+4 2 string scale shapes, you can root them off of ANY string and blaze away. Its SO much easier than trying to visualize gigantic 6 string patterns while moving across the neck. Plus, you get the HUGE added benefit of learning how find root notes on any string all over the board. Once you start LOOKING for those notes as roots, you're going to start finding them!
I designed this E minor shred lick as a great way to learn these shapes, but its also killer alternate picking practice, too. I played it as sextuplets (6 notes per beat) at 110 BPM in the intro, but its TOTALLY possible to get it WAY beyond that! Try messing with the phrasing of the 3+4 scale shapes and see what you can come up with. Combine these patterns with the high speed phrasing ideas in last week's Sick Sick Sixes lesson and you're going to dominate the world. And don't forget to sign up for patreon and get that bonus video showing you all 7 modes of the major scale, then you'll REALLY be cooking!

Thanks for watching! Let me know what you want to learn next in the comments!
I'm a step dad, thanks to you I'm able to blaze through my 1/8 note minor pentatonic scales at 67 bpm.
You're the greatest Uncle Ben !
Gotta have respect for tbe stepdads of the world
Only 2 more BPM to go!
@@senspartech3533 nice
Well done, Just don't try to play good riddance
Pretty handy, especially for a 1960 model processor 😎
Uncle Ben is a generous one. Not only he shares his knowledge but also his hair! HE is the best
You learned then now try and unlearn them!¡! FACTS OF INTEREST!
😂
👍🏻
After 25 years of playing, Uncle Ben is always showing me something that actually improves my playing. Thanks Uncle Ben.
Im over 50 and I took 2 guitar lessons then quit because I had a bad teacher, I went on to be in several bands and work in the music industry but still often find myself fishing for notes when I play, thankfully I found this channel and can proudly say that not only do I have finally a guitar teacher but one the really motivates and inspires me, you have truly found your calling Ben.
A I Gaming thank you so much dude!!!!
@@BenEller Thank you.
So happy I just found your channel ....by accident. I'm 61 years old and want to get out of just playing "blues licks" and love what you've shown us here. You present the material in a very easy to understand fashion. Time to go practice.....
Uncle Ben is the best teacher. There are many other teachers. But he is the best. There is no other teacher that is better.
Sounds like he programmed your mind lol
He's awesome! The schtick really isn't my thing, but I understand why he does it! It's for the simple minds (homeschoolers as he refers to them, I believe, haha!) that need a song and dance to keep them excited. Throw in some Fretjam from CZcams, and you'll be golden! Fretjam is a killer channel too, especially if you're interested in theory!
@Stan Ef What are you trying to say ??
He is good...also check out Steve Stine vids. That guy explains the modes very well.
As a working drummer who's been a guitar student for the past few years, your channel is my favorite for guitar knowledge and good humor. Thank you, Uncle Ben!
Uncle Ben, I have learned so much from your channel in the last 6 months, than I have from any one on the internet in the last 2 years. You possess amazing skills, both as a teacher as well as a musician. Any possibility of you teaching how to play spread triads? Thanx again Uncle!!!
Thanks dude. Check this one out: czcams.com/video/qTkKYUQfCp0/video.html
This is a whole new fresh(and musical) way to practice scale shapes. I've even took this a step further by opening with the low E the minor shape. At the moment since I just learned the run, I can't even get to Stepdad speed, more like red-headed stepchild sloow speed.
But I'm already beginning to see the possibilities, and even doing "escape" runs anywhere along the sequence, and starting to figure out which box shapes are under my fingers at any point.
This is some seriously good stuff Uncle Ben 🙏
I dig this...lots. When I used to teach, that pattern was my go-to for teaching major/minor scales and modes. I am stuck in sixes for life. LOL! I will point out, however, there is a 3rd shape that you introduced...transitioning from 7th position Em at 10:17. ;) Thanks for your awesome vids and lessons!
Thanks Ben for explaining everything so clearly in your lessons
I am actually blind but I always find your lessons easy to follow
Keep up the good work man👍🏼
Ben Eller always puts out the *BEST* guitar lessons. Literally the greatest.
👏👏👏 wonder scale😁😁 i was amazed thanks Uncle Ben
Thanks Uncle Ben.
Hands down , he's gotta be the best teacher on the net.
Yes , my mileage very s !! you rock uncle ben !!
Man, this is something I learned from a Paul Gilbert video a couple years ago, and it changed everything.
Also, I don't believe I'll walk up to a random child and tell them "uncle Ben says hi", stop trying to get me arrested.
"Shop local". Ben, that is gold.
I was just thinking about Ben, and how much I missed him and then he popped up in the sidebar. He's an angel.
Another great guitar video
This is a great way to see the fretboard! Two shapes. Awsome! Thanks for sharing this information!
I am not and nor will I ever be a shredder but that was really clever and will give me hours of fun especially mixed up with the pentatonics I have used for ever cheers man was well appreciated
Powerful information and technique! Thank you so much Uncle Ben!
Guys what he is showing you changed my life made me a proud guitarists. There is only whole steps and half steps except for minor 3rds really
Great teacher ,thanks mate 🎸🔥💪
Uncle Benny the greatest. I try learning new things a lot of times on gertar, but dont know to go where to find those things. Uncle Bob really showed me how to gain brain power and I want to thank Uncle Bam for teaching gatar to noobs like me.
thank you. your lessons are making me a lot better. you make the lesson very easy to understand .
Ben Eller Rocks!!!
This is by far the best method I've seen to get players out of scale boxes and start thinking horizontally across the fretboard. Well done
2.5 years later, here I am, and this video made me become a member on your Patreon. You're videos are so relatable - there is no better "teacher" on CZcams. Thanks dude!
Sorry I'm late, got sucked into watching a video first of ships being launched and making huge waves...cool!
This was really interesting thanks for the great video
Ah...Ben, you've gone and done it again!? Making things look easier than what they are!! Haha...you bloody cool dude you!!
Good on you for cutting the locks dude. My buddy did the same. Super cool!
thank god i’m just now seeing this. makes it so clear. thanks man!
Your the best ! Thank you!
You are a GREAT instructor. Where was ANYONE like you back when I was learning to play guitar?!
Thanks Uncle Ben!
Exactly what my playing needs right now, thank you so much!
Thanks Ben, that's awesome inspiration. Playing 4 notes on one string in two 3 note blocks??? i always played my scales with 3 notes and then moved to the next string / root but there always seemed to be some kind of "gap"... never really fluent... this opens up new worlds when it comes to speed and making use of the entire fretboard!
Nice to know that there's a Ben Eller toupee out in the wild somewhere. Hopefully it'll give some lucky person all your shredderific powers too like some weird conduit.
Love these! Got into the series far too late, started over from video number one and is crawling through them all.. But can't help tuning in on the new ones as well! These lessons are so helpful, thank you so much for all the shredding tips Ben! 🤘
my new favorite guitar playing term: "Shop locally" lol I love it!
"Your mileage may vary!"
That's a really great tip. Oatmeal will never be the same!!.
Uncle Ben this is an awesome lesson!
I’ve been mooching off you for along time cuz yer geetar teachin iz awsum!
This lesson has forced me to become a patreon supporter. Keep up the great content!
blindtonedeaf thank you for the support! Be sure to check out the bonus lesson that goes with this one!
thanks uncle ben !!!
One of the best lessons to break down the fret board,man in a couple minutes i was doing it around the neck wow how simple you broke that down thanks.\m/
awesome teacher.. i think ive broken the ice on playing scales .. wonderful.. i use it but i have a different groove but yeah i love it
Great lesson !! Definitely will help !! Thanks Uncle Ben !!
Great pattern. Definitely adding this to the practice routine. Thank you Uncle Ben!
Ben Eller thank you for all your videos! I picked up guitar again recently and your videos are amazing. When I was younger I was so focused on playing songs that I never learned any theory. I'm going back now and learning how theory plays into songs, chords, scales, and more. Your videos are making this process a lot easier and I can't thank you enough for the free information!
happy to help, man!!!
This was a good lesson. Reasons 1. it made me consider the notes that went in to the scales more helping me learn the fretboard as well as basic theory 2. easy freestyle routine. I ended up just kinda forgetting about the notes for awhile and just jamming out this slow steve vai esque solo with exaggerated slow vibratos and realized I was just ripping fade to black by metallicas combined with another song, but it sounded beautiful and I had a good hour of jamming based on this one trick where as I was feeling stuck for a few days before that. Thanks
Holy shit, this is where you build the pocket octaves from! Learning! Uncle Ben, you're amazing.
Found this really useful, thanks so much for sharing and explaining so well.
Shop local🤣🤣
This was an eye-opener for me...Great lesson Ben!!
Love the format and simplicity.
And thank you so much for not showing the Am pent scale in 1st position to start the lesson.
Great stuff. Thanks.
Thank you!
Holy sh^t!! Why have I never figured this out. This is really useful stuff. THANKYOU
This is a great one. Thanks Uncle Ben
Funny thing is that I've been doing this for years without having a name for it or actually even knowing really what I was doing.
I have studied, and attempted to study theory on multiple occasions, but I just tend to lose interest and always forget stuff. Especially scale shapes, if I think of them as boxes like a lot of people probably do. It just doesn't click with me.
Thanks for the video. Super helpful stuff.
Great lesson! Nice job donating to Wigs for Kids. I donated 16 inches in Nov. \m/
This and the 3 4 lesson is another great tool to see and use the whole fretboard. Thank you Ben!
With great power comes great responsibility, and boy does he take the responsibility. Keep it up, one of the best guitar channels out there. Picked up the guitar again after years of neglect and using your vids I have made more progression than ever.
Another excellent lesson. We love you Uncle Ben.
Killer tools .Thanks Unk Ben..🤘
your videos are honestly great. very good information.
I love you uncle ben you've helped me so much thankyou
Great teaching great lessons simple to fallow tutorial. Great guitar guy.
That was a nice lesson. Thank you Uncle Ben. Nice and easy to understand. I kind of already knew this magic, but it was nice to learn it your way also.
Fantastic approach! Thank you!
Another awesome lesson Uncle Ben.
These are great! Not only do they sound good when upping the tempo but now I'm starting to stitch the actual pattern into my other licks. I see what your doing...nice job!
Good on you Ben for donating your hair. Also, your lessons are great. I will be visiting your Patreon page.
uncle ben, im making it a goal to watch one episode of your channel and one of chris liepes per day to maximize the shred, thank you for always being here when ive been slacking on my practice, going 4 years strong
Your a very cool guy from your videos! and great teaching skills showing us how to get better at guitar!
Congratulations for hair donation. And your time offering us your lessons! God bless you, grettings from Portugal, \m/
Ben is the GOAT I like it a lot thank you so much
Very cool. Less thinking. I like! Thanks Uncle Ben! 👦🏻
Thanks for this Ben,I'll be on this sucker today.
Uncle Ben ur a genius. I do the same scale shapes without ever connecting them efficiently and I know there’s a way but it doesn’t register. This is perfect I can feel out all the intervals here too
I like your approach to teaching these things, good stuff!
Thanks Uncle Ben, I'm gonna use this.
Great tone! And thank you for the lesson. Much appreciated.
You and Kiko are the alternate picking masters 👍
Greg Tyrone kiko is a monster!
Thank you uncle Ben for this great lesson. cheers from Indonesia :)
Sweet, my favourite uncle is back with another awesome lesson. 👍
Thank you Uncle Ben you're teaching method is excellent but I try to step to speed up it's tough if it was easy I wouldn't be bothering thanks again for keeping me inspired to play 😊👍
All this, and a golf reference!!! I'm sending this to Chad Deagle, he has a glorious wig too!!
Very cool lesson! thank you Ben!
Thanks for the great tips man.....love the new backdrop... everythings looking slick! Hope this helps get you the followers you deserve uncle ben. Im sure it will. 🙏🎸🔥💥
Thanks Ben!..I just liked your video and subscribed to your awesome channel
Sadly, my hair donation days are over. My head is where hair goes to die. Oh, and your teaching style is some of the best I've ever seen.
You Rock Uncle Ben !!!! Rha, Rha, Rha !!!! 😂😂👍
Thank you Ben, very good lesson
Nice, you can learn something from shredders!
Practicing this now! :)
"Play it where it lies " and "shop local".........😂 good analogies 😎🙏🏻👍🏻
Hold up! This almost makes sense! I better watch again.
Subbed. I think I can learn something here!
HAH! Cool and soo simple. Thanks young Ben!
Im not quite up to this standard yet, but I keep watch your channel Ben because I aspire to be good enough to learn from you.
You're also hilarious. Really appreciate the dry humour.
Thanks
