This is great, excellent explanations, practice advice and all. If you want to take it to another level, given that you are targeting beginner or intermediate players, you should add a section in the end where you use it to improvise over a well known standard (not just generic changes) and walk us through exactly the way you are thinking when composing/improvising a solo/etude over that standard. Not the whole song, but 8-12 bars or something. Just my two cents and a part that I am always missing in these types of YT videos. Best of luck and thanks for teaching us!
I don't know. Your lines jump around too much for me - going for the 4th fret to the 8th on different strings, for example. Why not just just make that sixth up another string and pick a scale note or chord tone in the same position. Too much lateral movement. Maybe my fingers are just too stubby. Great melodic ideas as use of enclosures and chromaticism but I'm finding lines that sound just as good to my ears and I'm not working as hard (i.e., moving up and down the neck so much). But thanks!
@scottnipper7334 if it feels better for you to grab it that way that's totally valid. I do things the way I do for phrasing and articulation reasons a lot of the time. Sometimes that gets me some stretchy fingerings but they work for me. The fingering isn't nearly as important as the melodic content. Thanks for watching!
Ah man I'm sorry to hear that. If this feels too difficult that might mean you need some more time with just the major scales and the arpeggios or simpler sequences. You can do this but just might not be quite ready yet! 🙏

This is really hard :/
