Love the philosophical approach. Opens up the entire fredboard and mystery of sound there

Thank you for not just saying "you need to see the shapes" and instead giving us some actual work that will MAKE us see the shapes.

This video along with several of Jared's other videos are brilliant and the most helpful tools for progressing on guitar found on the web. I have searched for this brilliant type of instruction for many months. His videos are not just gimmicks, content to hook you or pieces of indecipherable information like most are. They are amazing pieces of important information that truly helps you progress. His videos have done more for my knowledge and playing that all others on the web and I have watched hundreds. This is true instruction by a master. I have never subscribed to anyone's video with the exception of Jared. I have never left a comment. Perfect, brilliant, intellectual, practical and extremely valuable information for any guitar player. He is clear, exact and to the point. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. The exercises give me lots to practice and I am never left with the question " what should I work on " keep up the great work. Jared is a real guitar Hero.

good Jared. Don't make the videos shorter just to appesl to shorter attention spans. Teach from your beautiful heart as you do so well. Let those who can't or won't hang drop off. You don't need them. They'll get what they can get.

My #1 takeaway is that all five positions can be found by finding the lowest root of each position on the 6th (2 positions), 5th (2 positions), and 4th (1 position) strings.

seeing how they all connect has been a problem for me this will help a lot thank you

Those lessons are really valuable.
People who have him as a teacher,
where he has his school. Are really lucky.
If I would live in that area, I would have him.
And nobody else…….

He knows exactly what he’s talking about.
Yeah, that exercise with the 8 notes. That’s
a killer one…… « Jazz musicians » have some
of those. Very effective….but not so easy.
But as Jared says, let it be difficult,
part of the process……good attitude to adopt.

Keep getting carried away. You are sharing very effective insights. Thank you!

ok, haha, the number one take away that I got from this video, after I finally watched the whole thing (and stopped in the middle to practice and find the A scales) was that I love you. You're hilarious, I laughed out loud. The very end was so funny, because you just kept going, and then you said, oh, two bonuses! Love it. You are verbose, but it is also helpful and you're having fun! And I'm learning so much! Also, just the scales all laid out and shown was super helpful. But I also like the idea of going down one scale form, and then going up the next scale form and so on. I'll try that one next, once I get through all the scales. And you mentioned learning pentatonic scales by simply removing the 7th and 4th. Great! Thank you!

Thank you for this. Honestly, really helped me connect these shapes and feel more comfortable moving around the neck

[garrycole]

Jared, you are spot on! It's helping me so much. Thank you so much!

[sergiogomasuarez]

Thank you so much. For me, the duration is perfect because you give due time and explanation so that everything is really clear at every point. Honestly, I think you give the necessary time to each video. The necessary time that the content itself requires.
Thank you very much, you are helping me a lot... Your passion is transmitted and contagious. 😊

[kevon]

I love implementing your lessons. Extremely helpful!

Hardest thing for me is seeing the forms starting from the way down.

[treacherkat]

don’t worry about your ‘motor mouth’ pal. you are a fantastic teacher and your content is A-1. … as they say when they signed our high school annuals back the the Jurassic era: ‘stay as you are and you’ll go far.’ keep smiling, playing, and teaching

[lainyjordan]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. Great video.

[StephenStigling]

This has been such a eye opener ive been struggling to see how to combine scales but this has cleared so much how it works

[drdebrillos]

Extremely Helpful as always, Thank you Jared, you sir, are a very valuable resource

[HighStakesDanny]

Best on YT
The takeaway for me was not to work on them like I have been but to switch to your style of practice. I had zero structure and was stuck on G Major / Em Scale (same scale) all over the neck and was not learning to play the changes which has stunted my learning and growth. Now I have tons more work ahead of me, tons of hours of practice to do. Goal is the learn scale tone melody playing maybe like Jerry Garcia??

[stephenchristensen]

Comprehensive, concise, systematic and understandable. Great lessons 😊

[krebbin]

Thanks. A really valuable lesson, brilliantly articulated 😊
