To me the fretboard diagram doesn’t match at all what you’re playing. I can follow your hand but have to completely ignore the diagram because it makes zero sense to me. Props to those who can “see” it. That’s probably why I suck at playing
So i can olay guitar well but never learnt to actually do scales that's why im here
Holy crap man.
I dont usually comment on stuff, but i just had to say.
It is so blatant and passionately obvious how much you care about wanting to help the people watching these videos. Justin literally speaks so earnestly and honestly that the advice he is sharing becomes EVEN MORE BENEFITAL. You rarely hear musicians- no offense yall, but especially guitarists- fully admitting " Oh my gosh i haven't always been this good". No other guitarist, teacher, OR YOUTUBER has made me feel this relaxed about entering the big world of music. That's why he is the GOAT of guitar youtubers. And if you disagree with me at all, just go back and really open yourself up
Looks like norm Macdonald teaching me guitar
What scales should I learn next? It would be helpful to have a little guide for what to keep learning as I am just starting. Really appreciate your videos!
thanks man youre a massive help, ive always just learned songs and it came to my attention when i was with a few others i should actually learn these. Also i love the tele you have
one of the first songs i learned a few weeks ago was falling into place by Radiohead so my picking is pretty decent I was able to learn this in abt 15 min thx
Thanks!
i dont get it when your saying open string and playing the chord i cant see it on the chart this is really confusing to me
Wtf how do you read that lol
Rank beginner here. He went way too fast, I couldn't keep up. Need to find a video for beginner beginners.
Norm Mcdonald is sure good at guitar
Great lesson! Thank you for the quality content 🎸🎸🎸🙌🏼❤️
Cheers
Since I like Justinguitar's lessons so much: is there an equally good equivalent for bass guitar? Does not have to be free, I happily pay for a good and effective teacher.
What are the benefits of learning scales on a guitar?
A major scale is 8 notes, whys he playing 12?*
Nice hat. I have one just like it.
I'm playing a dreadnought and while my left hand is fine I can't seem to reliably pick the right string, doesn't help that I can't actually see the strings either. Any tips?
whats the importance of learning scales ive been studying scales now and i still dont get the point of it
Maybe I’m too dumb but I literally cannot understand the chart he showed while demonstrating… help pls?
Thank You So Much.. Sir❤️
Your Lesson is Really Gr8. Everything You Taught is Pretty Clear & Hence Easy to Undrstnd.🌟🙂
Thanks Justin! 59 and just bought my first electric guitar! The last comment is great about helping with chords.
Why do we do all down-picks? Is it to make it easier, or is it an important part of the practice? {edit: ah of course I found the "Alternate Picking the C Major Scale" video immediately after asking…}
incredibly helpful. best video on this period
knowing the major scale formula helps…whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half. this refers to the distance between the notes
What about muting strings? I notice you are doing that. Should I wait to learn scales until after I've mastered string muting?
So why's this a C major scale? I see it starting with an E, so I would expect it to be an E major scale.
I've been playing self taught for 15 years give or take. I've tried and failed with scales a few times up until now. I love the way you explain everything in an easy to understand manor. At least for me anyway! Highly recommend these videos and I'll definitely be checking out more. Thanks a bunch! 🎸
Sir that was an excercise or it was the nites of c major scale?😊
How far into the beginners course should be consider learning scales?
4:50 This is so wrong in so many aspects. Perfectionism is bad. When a child is learning to walk, they are likely to stumble and fall many many times. However, this doesn't prevent them from eventually becoming skilled walkers. Making a mistake once or twice doesn't build a fundamental habit of doing something wrong, and instead, provides an opportunity to correct and improve upon the mistake. You don't have to play it perfect from the beginning, don't force yourself. So, rather than striving for perfection from the beginning, it's important to approach learning with a growth mindset, where mistakes are viewed as opportunities for improvement.
Nice
Watched this twice, Broke my brain and confused the hell out of me… Back to the basic of basics I go…
this is about impossible to follow, without pausing and rewinding thousands of times. have to look to see what string you're on, then look where i'm going. since you say you're going to use index first fret and so on, why not just say which string you're on, or both… so you can listen and watch what you're doing.
If any guitar player could help me with this question I’d appreciate it. But I’m watching this as a beginner piano player with a strong understanding of basic music theory and scales knowledge. How come he is going past the c once he reaches the c a octave higher and going to the g then rewinding back to the beginning C note. When with piano it’s just c,d,e,f,g,a,b, c octave higher, then all the way back to beginning C?regards
I'm also trying to recall the name of the note I'm playing. This is easy going up the scale since it's C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G. But it's not so easy going down the scale since it's the alphabet in reverse.
I have never been able to remember which note is where and what any given note is called (same with chords), so I may need to enforce this while practicing things like scales
I had started playing guitar at 45 yrs I played for a few months but then I gave it up. Now I restarted after 11 yrs and have forgotten everything. I have no memory of the C major scale which I used to play ever so often.
Thank you so much for what you do. So grateful.
You have been so helpful , I thank you
Learning the basics right now so I can get better idea of how to play guitar even better
Why are we starting on e note for a c major scale shouldn’t we be starting on c for instruction purposes?
