I still think that this is the best instructional guitar CZcams channel on the Internet. And probably the best on any kind of media platform period.
Wow, that is pretty flattering. Thank you, very much!
I will “second” that opinion Karthain! “Mr Miagi” of the guitar world…..”wax on - wax off” LOL. Thanks Chris, as usual - super insightful and helpful!
@@Dave-gf3kd you are so welcome, Dave, thanks for being here!
For me it is the BEST English speaking instructional guitar CZcams channel on the Internet. Every time I watch his videos I'm fascinated
@@divingcowboy happy to hear that! Thanks for being here.
Found your Channel from Marty Music!! So glad I did!! You two are my go-to's for guitar knowledge!!
Great to have you here Brent!
What a great lesson again, Chris. As usual, you explain things eloquently, understandably, and at a good, laid back pace. I also want to mention that your quiet, relaxed manner of presenting and your focus on open-mindedness towards looking at things from various perspectives really helps set a good mood and vibe for learning and understanding.
Wow, thanks FJ! Glad you’re here!
Great stuff!
That really threw the door open and let a whole lot of light into the mind Mr. Sherland.
Glad to hear it E M!
Wow, Chris, that third pattern is something I've never sussed out and it's so convenient to know. Thank you so much! 🏅
I originally learned it everywhere by breaking it down into the 5 notes and moving that pattern everywhere: 3 major seconds, and 2 minor thirds.
You’re welcome Timmy. Sure is enlightening when you approach something familiar from a new angle isn’t it? It’s like there’s an endless resource of new context.
As always, thanks for sharing your wisdom Chris
My pleasure, Miguel!
They say if you wanna play like your heroes you should find out who their hero is and learn all you can from them. Marty brought me here. Thanks Chris
Glad to have you here BG!
I love this! It's going to give me food for thought (and play) for a long time to come. Thanks Chris!
You're so welcome, Nicholas
Great video and information as usual Chris! Thank you so much for making this make sense for me and so many others!
You’re welcome Jesse!
Great stuff, Chris! Another new look at the most important scale.
Yes indeed Russell! Hope things are well, thanks for all your support.
You have the best teaching style. As always a great lesson
Thanks for all your Support, Scott!
Good work Chris, keep it up & I think you're channel is going to skyrocket !
Thanks Jonathan!
Thanks for this lesson Chris! I'll add this to my practice!
Thank YOU Tim, for all your support!
So simple when you show it but that looks like a lot of practice. Brilliant. Thanks
It really is not that big of an effort. And in fact, its the journey and discovery that are more vital than the result.
Sir,you are really amazing. very useful and great knowledge you gave us.thanks a lot for the lesson.
It's my pleasure, thanks for the views and comments!
Wow! You are an outstanding player and teacher! Thank you for sharing your guitar wisdom with us!
You bet, Shannon.
Chris, you make this so easy....Once again many, many mahalos!
Thanks, Kevin. Glad you enjoyed this one! Lots of mileage on this type of thing!
Another uniquely insightful and helpful lesson. Your approach to the *learning* process is refreshing.
Especially powerful for me is your final piece where you stay on the same string pair. Putting that together with triads (which touch a two string pentatonic channel, but which bring you onto other strings) is a little jewel that I’d never quite noticed, even with many years of playing. The result is like fluid caged with a pentatonic escalator.
Thanks for sparking really useful curiosity.
"Fluid CAGED with a Pentatonic escalator"
wow...that is the coolest phrase ever.
Chris Sherland’s channel is the best discovery of the past 18 months. The way he explains practical theory, scales, triads etc just resonates immediately with me. This lesson in particular has allowed me visualise the pentatonic over two strings and it’s now less stressful moving up and down the neck between patterns. Thank you.
You are so welcome! Thanks for being here Andrew!
Mind blowing! I was looking for something like that and it's like you've read my mind... Subbed... Thank you so much.
Glad you’re here Roberto!
This is so good I’m stopping halfway and looking forward to jumping in again. Really like both the actual content but even more so the concept. Thank you.
You bet Jesse, glad this resonates for you!
Words cannot express my gratitude for you and your lessons! I’m working as hard as I can with the time I have. I’m confident that my guitar playing wouldn’t be what it is without you and your lessons! Thank you! Love and respect from Maine!
Wow Scott, thank for this, and all your support!
Simply a fantastic teacher, thank you Sir!
You're very welcome, so glad this landed well for you, Ray-Lynn.
Another great video! As I opened up to know all five positions of the minor pentatonic I noticed that there were two minor 3rds and three whole steps to complete each cycle from first to fifth position . I never thought to start with a root note and translate it to different positions in two string patterns. Such a great explanation, and thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us!
It's always so beneficial to look at something completely familiar from a new point of view.
Happy to be here helping out, and I'm glad you're here, Scott.
Chris, once again an excellent lesson. It is fascinating taking what you know bout the 5 pentatonic box shapes and see from another direction how they transpose and why they work as they do. A lesson on visualizing the relationship of the relative minor major boxes and how they transpose and relate to the cage system/chord shapes would be great.
Great idea! Writing that one down now!!
Hi Chris. Jon Finn has a great book exploring this concept called Advanced Modern Rock Guitar Improvisation. Great lesson.
Yup, Jon Finn's book is great. I did a summer prog at Berklee and he was there. Cool guy, great teacher.
I've had Jon's book for a few years. It is very good. He calls the area between the G and B string the Warp Zone for the way notes move up.
I find it both educational and entertaining!
Two birds, one video!
Loving method 3!
Thanks for posting this, Chris! Brilliant lesson!
My pleasure Joyce! Thanks for all your support!
All 3 methods were light bulbs going off for me but, if anyone heard a loud explosion....that was my mind being blown with method 3 lol.
@@briansmith1760 love it!!!
Reminds me of Jon Finn’s old fretboard logic book. Awareness of those linear patterns is very helpful, but they also rotate horizontally around the neck, which really helped me too. Thanks Ed for reinforcing that I need to stay aware and enhance practice sessions.
You bet Gary! And you can call me "Ed" whenever you need to!
Perhaps Mr Ed?
This is really useful. Thanks!
You bet, Stuart! Glad it was helpful.
🤗 The discovery technique! Similar to how I learned to cane. 💫✨ Edges, 😉
Thanks Chris❣️
You are so welcome, Audrey!
That is so cool. I need to start implementing that.
yeah I still love doing these types of things...I discover something new all the time.
@@curiousguitarist well, I'm on for tomorrow sir.
@@christophervincent8420 see you then!
This is awesome, man. Thanks.
One of those things that seems like such a no-brainer, but helps get you out of a rut.
Perfect!
The only thing missing for me in this lesson is seeing you put this skill to use in playing music. Excellent teaching style.
Ahh right! Well the deep point here is to build a tool that moves you out of the mindset of being in a position.
I agree, a demo up front would have been good! Thank you!
Thought I knew the pentatonic, guess what....;) You made me discover them again!
That is win right there!
Loved the vid! Great job! Could you please do a lesson on the most used jazzy chord extensions?
Great suggestion, I'll write that idea down on my list of videos to get done! Should be fairly soon, so stick around!
Awesome lesson. Subbing! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Wow, thanks, Oliver! I appreciate it!
Hey Chris I'm enjoying your videos and appreciate all of the work you put into your teaching. I am looking for one of your lessons where you highlight the intervals that make up the 'core' of the minor pentatonic (1, b7 and 5 I think) but I forget the title of the video. Can you help me out?
Try this one NJ! czcams.com/video/xvlcj1Q-KXs/video.html

Going by what Einstein said, Chris knows his stuff so darn well!! Thank you for your videos Chris, I am glad CZcams algorithms brought me to your channel! Lots of appreciation from India!
Thank you very much JEL, I really appreciate it, and I'm so glad you're here.
Damn cool
I like!! THX
I'm glad you like it, Alonzo. I still find new things to discover doing this type of thing!
@@curiousguitarist I am at the point in my guitar journey where I'm trying to break my old paradigms and discover new things. I find lessons like yours are helping me achieve my goal. Again, THX! (and yes, thanks Marty;-)
what do the last two strings pattern look like please & thx.. loved this vid
Glad you liked it! I'm not sure which strings you're referring to, but I've got all of them done as TAB on my Patreon page here: www.patreon.com/chrissherland
Thanks, Chris.
You bet!
Ah! 2 strings linear paints the dots to all the shapes easier to see now
Exactly!
Always find it funny how the pentatonic(5note) scale is always shown as 10 notes!I know,I know,but I truly think that little bit confuses many beginners...
I agree, it’s glossed over and suddenly there’s vital context missing.
Is A minor pentatonic the only minor pentatonic scale? Every time I watch lessons, they use the A minor pentatonic. Why is that?
I use A to help reduce the cognitive load for the viewer. Easy to see, familiar, increases the chances of retention and integration.
Hahahahhaha very cool
Glad you liked it!
