Scale for Beginners. Start Here.

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

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

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!

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

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

Rank beginner here. He went way too fast, I couldn't keep up. Need to find a video for beginner beginners.

Great lesson! Thank you for the quality content 🎸🎸🎸🙌🏼❤️
Cheers

What are the benefits of learning scales on a guitar?

Nice hat. I have one just like it.

whats the importance of learning scales ive been studying scales now and i still dont get the point of it

Thank You So Much.. Sir❤️
Your Lesson is Really Gr8. Everything You Taught is Pretty Clear & Hence Easy to Undrstnd.🌟🙂

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…}

knowing the major scale formula helps…whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half. this refers to the distance between the notes

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.

Sir that was an excercise or it was the nites of c major scale?😊

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.

Watched this twice, Broke my brain and confused the hell out of me… Back to the basic of basics I go…

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 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.

You have been so helpful , I thank you

Why are we starting on e note for a c major scale shouldn’t we be starting on c for instruction purposes?
