THIS is the Rosetta Stone I've been looking for. I'd been noodling in a couple of these positions for years without a proper understanding of how they are linked together. Beautifully done, easy to understand. THANK YOU!
Jules, you videos have helped me a lot. Thank you for sharing you knowledge. I have been playing rhythm all my life, and now that I'm old I'm learning to play lead. You really are a good teacher.
After watching countless videos on how to solo I more or less figured this out on my own but this is the first time I was able to actually understand how to connect all the patterns seamlessly and musically. Thanks!
Dear Brother Jewels , Your Videos Are getting Better, Better, Better!!! I love the illustration, your Fretboard Diagram Looks Amazing, So Easy to See, Practice. I Love the Whole Fretboard Display. Your Colors, Images are Fresh and Vivid. Keep Showing The Scales And Chords Just like your doing here. Fantastic All The Way. Thank You !!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🕺🏼✨️🙂
Thanks Jules. Your lessons are clear, concise and understandable. You make putting these concepts into practice easy. Awesome channel, awesome teacher, awesome guitarist. ✌️&❤
So fun. I've randomly found some of these easy transitions...but you showing them as patterns all the way up and down does 2 things: 1 - makes me wonder how much better i'd be if i knew this earlier. 2 - makes me happy i found some of them and have been using them (almost like a good friend).
I like your teaching method , very simple and a lot of fun learning from you. The diagram and scale pattern demonstration that you displayed onscreen is what i like most. Excellent video and very uniques. Thanks for sharing this tutorial.
Good stuff. It took me many years ago to put it all together as you show. Those double stops are game changers and the beginning to playing to the chord.
Hi Jules, once again you are just a great guitar!! You help me a lot to make solos all over the neck with your clear without "rimram" explanation. For me you are the guy and keep up the good work because with your approach of the fretboard things are a lot easier for me to understand! Thanks a lot Jules!! Cheers & regards, Ron🎸🎼😃
Exactly what I needed. Thank you. This simple lesson is enough to make anybody become a decent guitar lead player. Just adjust for the different harmonic minor and such; add come chords, and you're done.
This is THE video I was looking for! I had already started playing with the 2+3 and the BB Box, but this is now connecting everything. Amazing video, thanks for this.
Wow this is genius! I've been doing the 5 note shape in a lot of my leads because it sounds natural and works so well. I didn't realize you could link them on different strings. You just gave me something stellar to practice and incorporate into my leads and improvisational playing. Cheers mate!
Wow! I play the first "diagonal" pentatonic pattern already but I haven't seen the other patterns incorporated like that. Totally opens up so much more. Looking forward to playing around with them.
Excellent lesson. I remember seeing a video of a young Eric Clapton being interview. Clapton had his guitar in his lap and played some single note runs. He played the A minor pentatonic scale position 1 and he used the 2+3 slides demonstrated in this video.
Hey Jules, thank you for making your lessons simple. Easy to follow and it has helped me with solos. I’ve been a rhythm player most of my guitar playing. Started working on solos and your videos have been the most helpful for me. Thanks again!!
Jules - I really dig your instruction. This lesson is very good on a few levels. Pure gold. To me, this method meshes very well with CAGED as the pattern takes you right into and through most of the chords along the way. I dig your caged tutorials as well as your diagrams as I do not like or use TAB at all.
It took me a minute to get used to the upside down fret diagram, but you used it to match the orientation of the guitar, so I think it was actually a smart move. You are teaching the right things. Nice video.
Hi Jules! Your lesson is incredible and you play very well. Your explanations helped me a lot and you gained another subscriber. Thanks a lot. Greetings from Brazil.
I got a lot more out of this video than I anticipated. Thank you very much, your method of presentation on this topic really helped me conceptually put together these different patters in relation to each other. Now all I need is a video on how to best drill these exercises and commit them to muscle memory and then figure out how apply them to different keys, and also practice different licks within the different positions to build my "vocabulary"
I don't know yet ! Hopefully after a million tries I will. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 😊I will be saving this precious info for future reference.
This is an outstanding lesson! Thanks you much! One tiny suggestion (and I hate opinions that I didn't ask for, lol...sorry!) But in the future please consider making the neck diagrams reverse and upside down from what is seen here. Then it would match both standard and tab notations. Again thanks! Subbed!
Jules what a fantastic lesson!! thank you very much , offcourse I have subscribed to your channel , what an eyeopener this video is, admiration and respect from the Netherlands Europe.
These lessons are great. I don’t have any problem at all viewing the fretboard from this perspective but I think I’m in the minority judging by the other comments.
I made the same comment as you in a previous video from Jules. The videos are presented as if I had called to his house for tuition and they have that same no nonsense feel without any egotistical shredding etc. Keep going Jules you are hitting all the right spots for me.❤❤
One of the best explanations I’ve seen of these concepts especially the 2+3 and 3+2. Worth noting you can manipulate to 2+3 does a 1,3,4,5,b7 type combo etc. Thank
When you start a "How to Solo all over the Neck for Lefties" , that is when I will join your Patreon. You are the only teacher on CZcams that I can easily understand and who's video's don't put me to sleep. But your upside down tabs requires too many ink to print out and reprint with correct string orientation.

I can do more new stuff after one of your lessons Jules, than any other teacher out there. Thank you!
Every time dude. You deliver.
THIS is the Rosetta Stone I've been looking for. I'd been noodling in a couple of these positions for years without a proper understanding of how they are linked together.

Dear Brother Jewels ,
Your Videos Are getting Better, Better, Better!!!
I love the illustration, your Fretboard Diagram
Looks Amazing, So Easy to See, Practice. I Love the
Whole Fretboard Display. Your Colors, Images are
Fresh and Vivid. Keep Showing The Scales And Chords
Just like your doing here. Fantastic All The Way.
Thank You !!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🕺🏼✨️🙂
This simple, no nonsense approach is really opening my theory hating eyes. Haha. Well done, Sir. Appreciate your work. Cheers from Wisconsin.
Your lessons are always packed with such great, condensed, useful material. Thanks 👍
Beautiful simple and easy for a 78 year old like me. The whole ball of wax. Thanks Jules. I can even see clearly and follow your finger moves.
You are the best teacher that I follow. Wonderful useful lessons to have fun playing.
Thanks Jules. Your lessons are clear, concise and understandable. You make putting these concepts into practice easy. Awesome channel, awesome teacher, awesome guitarist. ✌️&❤
I like your videos without all the boring small talk so many "CZcams" personalities. Jules you're good at keeping it real and to the point
This is the best video I have ever seen on how to use the pentatonic scale to solo. Amazing work! That was so clear.
Every time I watch one of your videos, it increases my understanding of the fretboard. Thank you
Possibly the best channel on guitar tips and method I've run across, I've absorbed a lot. A very great teacher. Thanks!
Absolutely eye opening and mind blowing! The entire guitar neck, covered 🤯. I recommend your videos to all of my friends.
The best video on learning soloing. You made it perfectly understandable. Subscribed because of your awesome teaching style. Thanks!
At the age of 56 learning to play guitar, seeing your concise way of teaching , how to go all over the neck. Wishes for more videos.
So fun. I've randomly found some of these easy transitions...but you showing them as patterns all the way up and down does 2 things: 1 - makes me wonder how much better i'd be if i knew this earlier. 2 - makes me happy i found some of them and have been using them (almost like a good friend).
Absolute magic, so well done on this tutorial and thank you, fabulous playing!
I like your teaching method , very simple and a lot of fun learning from you. The diagram and scale pattern demonstration that you displayed onscreen is what i like most. Excellent video and very uniques. Thanks for sharing this tutorial.
Wow, thank you. This video helps me take a big step into using scales instead of just practicing them and waiting for the magic to happen.
Really a great lesson. I love this channel! Fantastic stuff.
Good stuff. It took me many years ago to put it all together as you show. Those double stops are game changers and the beginning to playing to the chord.
Great video. You explain everything so simply and clearly. Thank you!
One of the best guitar channel I've ever seen, great job man!!

Probably the best presentation of concept I have seen!
Very easy and SO informative. I am trying to learn the fret board and this just opened alot of it for me.
This is gold. Thanks Jules.
Nobody ask these negative minded people for their opinions…I find Jules lessons very enlightening …Thanks Jules keep up the good work !!!
Exactly what I needed. Thank you. This simple lesson is enough to make anybody become a decent guitar lead player. Just adjust for the different harmonic minor and such; add come chords, and you're done.
This is THE video I was looking for! I had already started playing with the 2+3 and the BB Box, but this is now connecting everything. Amazing video, thanks for this.
What a great short little lesson. Subscribed.
I have been using this for over four decades now, a great way to move from one position to another pentatonically.
Awesome lesson man. Ive found this pattern when I was starting to solo, as a way to move from the same place in the neck to other patterns.
Great video mate cheers🎉 whole guitar playing in 1 video put trying to figure this out was looking for a video like this for a month
this is presented very clearly and easy to understand,, thank you
You are a very good teacher. 👏🏼
Wow this is genius! I've been doing the 5 note shape in a lot of my leads because it sounds natural and works so well. I didn't realize you could link them on different strings. You just gave me something stellar to practice and incorporate into my leads and improvisational playing. Cheers mate!

I became a subscriber today. Great approach. You make it clear and easy peasy
Amazing i can't stop watching your lessons
A very inspired and inspiring tutorial. Thanks very much.

Also the bass strings are thicker which makes it more interactive
Just discoverd you Jules...LUCKY ME! So clear, concise and easy to understand...
Incredible tutorial! Thank you so much.
Hi Jules! Your lesson is incredible and you play very well. Your explanations helped me a lot and you gained another subscriber. Thanks a lot.
Greetings from Brazil.
Thanks for connecting it all together for me, up until now it’s all been luck how I get there but not knowing the basics of this technique!
Fantastic bud amazing guitar lessons god bless you.

Been using the sliding pentatonics for 50 years. They work.
I don't know yet ! Hopefully after a million tries I will. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 😊I will be saving this precious info for future reference.
Absolutely phenomenal lesson, Jules. Beautiful concepts perfectly presented. Wow. Sub'd!
Fantastic Jules! Very helpful, thanks!
Very impressive to see your guitar might bro . Thanks for sharing. Always like your playing skills. Cheers.
Great lesson.
Cool to see this reengaged in 2023. I picked this up from Green Note's "Improvising Rock Guitar" - 1973 - Rock Scales pp 22 - 25
This is an outstanding lesson! Thanks you much! One tiny suggestion (and I hate opinions that I didn't ask for, lol...sorry!) But in the future please consider making the neck diagrams reverse and upside down from what is seen here. Then it would match both standard and tab notations. Again thanks! Subbed!
