Wow… to be 17 again and have access to this kind of information. Kids today are so lucky!

This is so fundamental and Jack laid it out perfectly. This is the grind you need to learn to play blues or any genre without sounding like you are only doing scale runs. I'm a cheap mf and this is one of the only guitar channels that actually tempts me to buy a course.

You're like the Bob Ross of YouTube Guitar Masters. You're so calming and engaging. Great lesson. Thanks!

Jack is outstanding, guitarist & teacher

I first saw Jack on Brett Papa's channel and it was amazing. I'm learning SO much from Jack's videos. He has an excellent grasp of what is needed to be an amazing teacher. Thank you, Sir Ruch!

[danthsmith]

Practised this one for about two hours and really felt I was getting somewhere instead of my usual pentatonic stuff. Terrific lesson. Thanks Jack

[taildragger]

So wonderfully patient. Every video of Mr Ruch is explained so perfectly you can't get confused in any way.

Simply the best articulated, defined and well spoken blues Guitar lesson I have found to date…

[dannyvanswieten]

Ok... I just need a moment here... You've just superboosted my understanding on how to navigate the fretboard in a clear, concise and understandable way. You sir, are a true master. Thank you so much!😁

I appreciate you Jack. You could’ve easily sold all your lessons for 100s of dollars but you have it up here for free. This is high quality lessons.

[petereiseman-investor]

I've been playing all my life but I never really heard it explained so straight forward and simply. Using the CAGED system just makes it a lot more logical and easier to remember. As usual Jack, very well articulated and demonstrated. Thanks for sharing.

[JnWayn]

Jack, I gotta tell you. This is a quality lesson. It's the most moving lesson I've ever watched. Funny though, before now I could never follow your videos but only because they were over my head. So I think I've upgraded a bit enough for this lesson to finally make you among the clearest tutors on YouTube. This lesson moved my mind so much, I feel my playing is just about to pop.

Thank you

I practice a lot and can play some difficult pieces but playing the changes requires an entirely different thought process. This is a great workout - thanks Jack

[stickysat]

Amazing teaching and playing skills ! Thanks a lot for sharing Jack ! :)

Man! I needed this lesson about 15 years ago! TY!

Arpeggios are probably the most important musical construct to learn until it becomes a reflexive instinct. It’s so easy to associate with practice the sound shape correlation. I view them as a hybrid of a pentatonic and triad chord tone playing. I guess because that’s what they are, a linking up of triads in a pentatonic scale grip or subset of a pentatonic scale. Great video 👍👍👍

[ChrisWhiteAuthor]

This video should have over a million likes. So important to a guitarist who knows his pentatonic shapes and has no idea how to play through changes with them.

[brentwheeler]

Outstanding piece of work this Jack... thank you. Rest assured that this very comprehensive roadmap you have set out is exactly what helps.... this took me years to "nut out" on my own and enough so this is very helpful.

[goswo]

Not only are you an amazing guitarist but also a great great teacher. And that combination very few master :-)

[nicolasforfant]

Thank you Sir... For the outstanding quality of the content and pedagogy of every lesson, for the perfect blend of elegance and (apparent...) simplicity in your lines... And thank you in the name of all non-British/Americans for your calm, simple and clear diction, which makes that we (at least I...) don't even have concience that the course is given in a foreign langage.
