I have watched a hundred videos on scales. Finally, somebody makes freaking sense. Straightforward, well spoken, very informative. I’m searching for any video or anything he has online. Finally, some sense.

Finally, ...finally, someone took the time and effort to teach this correctly. Thank u for your videos. I've been self teaching for quite a while, this is what made the light bulb go on.. made a big poster for the wall in the practice room... each position shape and scale... thanks again Preston

I watched many tutorials before but this one is different. The long search is over. Good job sir!

Dude I'm blown away all the stupid ass books I bought and videos I watched about scales
And no one explained position
I feel relieved and cheated.
Thanx again

Wow, at almost 78, and been a 'strummer' for almost 50years, but struggled to try and pick up scales, your tuition video finally give me hope and understanding.
Thank you for posting this. Looking forward to torturing this old fingers to learn some new things. Uk

I haven't seen the pentatonic scale presented this way before- this really solidified the concept for me and I know it will do the same for others. Thanks!

Been playing for 30 years, finally started learning the pentatonic. This is probably one of the best tutorials on it. Thx

[TheSmartodd]

First time I've found a logically easy way to understand how the Keys link to the 5 positions!!! Thank you!

I've just deleted 10 videos or so on my bookmarks and replaced them with yours. Best teacher ever!

[rexbenemerito]

Very good tutorial. It has all the complete Pentatonic Ingredients. Great summarization. Just Wow. Thank you.

[rayberczik]

Awesome video, love how you broke it down and gave examples at a slow speed where everyone can follow along thanks!

[toogoodkilabee]

This is everything. Insanity is its so simple when you explain it, yet ive never seen it explained so simply. This is just amazing sir 🤘 honestly ive not seen another video that explains it any where as near as good, nailed it.

[timward]

This is a game changer explanation for me...I can get my head around the scales.

[Swede-jsjq]

Probably the best tutorial on the pentatonic scale I’ve seen. Thank you so very much.

Excellent straight forward communication!! I'm a fingerpicker who wants to learn some lead so I can branch out and jam a little with other people, versus playing by myself all the time. Say what?? There are of course other lessons on scales, but this one "clicks" with me. It's like I now totally --- "get it." Thank you Six String! I truly appreciate it! It really means a lot.

I gotta say, this is the most informative video on the pentatonic scale I've ever seen. Thank you for this. Wish the title said MAJOR pentatonic scales before I had myself saying "OMG, everything I know is WRONG!" Lol.

Outstanding utilization of the pentatonic scales!! Opened my eyes up tremendously!!

[eddyeddy]

Thank you so very much. All this while all were explaining only the basic 5 boxes. But was still a mystery how to play in other keys. You have really taken great effort in explaining in detail in how to play in each key. That has opened my mind completely now. As I am a new learner and was wondering how does this magic happen. I sincerely appreciate your painstaking effort to explain in detail how to play it. Thank you so very much.
