This is one of the best short instruction videos for beginners on YouTube.

I love how you give a great camera angle PLUS the big fretboard to see what you're playing. YOU my friend are my NEW BEST GUITAR TEACHER! Thankyou tons!!

Jules, Been stuck in a rut for decades; and couldn't move on until you revealed some theory, that would never have crossed my mind, Thank You so much, nice work.

[ABBYDOG]

Your lessons are so easy to follow. it’s amazing that I learn more in ten minutes watching your videos than hours watching other videos for hours! Keep up the great work my friend!

[drhall]

Heck yeah! Beginner to bluesman like Clapton! Those blue notes and fret changes offer color and a professional lead lines. Combine with timing and an “ear” for the right key, and Jules has opened real player opportunities!!

This is one of the best guitar vids! Gets you playing good sounding solos straight away while introducing some music theory that is actualy understandable. Well done Jules!!!

What a running pentatonic scale across the frets and strings. Made so easy .

[Jaimelapoesie]

I'm a beginner that's wanting to get into my bluesy stuff beyond chords; this video is absolutely perfect!

[peterliolis]

I like to slip down on the g string, enough laughs! you are one of the best teachers on YouTube

[rohanmarriner]

One of the best little tutorials I've ever watched for improving my soloing. Thanks heaps for sharing - I'm off to practice it right now!

Excellent lesson. Simple. Direct. Potent. Actionable. Griff Hamlin put out an excellent 4 note blues solo video some years ago. You are adding much more context to that. Stich puts out lots of videos about pentatonic boxes and techniques in down to earth ways on his channel. Your touch and insights deeply enriches that conversation. Congrats Jules. Great job.

[VinceVaughn-pt]

your guitar is always so clean. Like, physically clean. And your videos are GREAT

[wetali]

Hey Jules don't stop! we love your videos.

[Gitarapiotr]

Genious shape. Thanks for sharing :)
You have opened my eyes on everything pentatonic, blues, minor and major conected together!

[jomarsoares]

Congratulations!!! Best channel for those who are learning. Congratulations! You gained a following in Brazil. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😃

I just love your videos. I have shared to many of my friends and family they now begin to play guitar again

[PaulCrostaHomes]

Great video...To clarify, this is only for the Em or relative G major key. Assuming in this video the root note is E, then I guess we move the "box' up or down the neck so the root is on whatever key we are in...? Thanks guys.

Well, I've struggled for years and never really got anywhere (Home Hobby Player) Managed to put a tune together with a pink floyd backing track but nothing else but you describe every note/scale clearly so I will persevere with your teaching, Thanks so much and keep up the good work! subscribed with 2 minutes of watching you.

Really useful and very helpful from a practical standpoint!! Here, we have another manifestation of the very well known principle of "less is more". Great job Jules, thanks so much!!

[vincentboutet]

Impressively clear and easy to follow! Great job. I've already tried using the box and it works amazingly well! Thank you
