Jack's YouTube gold mine is open 24/7 and this nugget is one of the shiniest...

Great lesson Jack. You've always have an interesting turn on common and uncommon licks. Love it! Thanks for sharing.

[RealDaviProf]

This is inordinately helpful. I hadn't yet connected the triads with the diminished scale and the possibility of repeating them along the neck in symmetrical intervals. Knowing this changes everything in my understand of how to use the diminished scale and related apreggios! Now all I have to do is get the timing down! Thank you so much!!!

[johnmac]

Fantastic Jack! I hadn't thought about triads within the diminished scale, it's another tool to keep things interesting, thanks

[jeffreyreid]

Great lesson this will take some time for me to digest as usual thanks!

[marcuscorneliusaurelius]

You have great videos. You present the information in a very digestible way. Thatnks! By the way, that tone you get from that Headstrong amp is otherworldly.

[fenderbender]

@Jackruch My goodness the tone and melody that you have is so needed. You have became one of my favorite guitar players. Your playing is so smooth I would love to hear you be aggressive and raunchy..lol But I know It would still sound like well dressed 335 in a long Cadillac.

[michaeldmytriw]

Never a wasted note and your playing always lets us in. Thank you!!

[larrybethune]

Thanks Jack for opening this up for me. I've always been curious about how Ford gets the outside sound on his turnaround licks. He does this a LOT! And the triad pairs thing is going to require some ear hand coordination and practice Video saved to my Lessons folder. Thanks again!

[Widmer]

I can’t believe this is free! I’m getting tired of pentatonic blues. Will support your paid lessons online for sure. I’m still not clear on how the F# and D# triads are related to the 1 (A7) and 4 (D7) chords in context of Blues

[remco]

Brilliant Jack!
You did it again, explain not so simple theorie in a clear and easy way!
Thanks!

[thAMG]

Good lesson as always, Jack. You're the real deal.

[FrosMusic-qopn]

I enjoyed meeting you last night at 3rd & Lindsley, great show. Thanks for helping us out. Jeff Jones - Midnight Riders.

You are a truly Master, sr.
Excellent as always!!!
Greetings from Colombia!

[budrizzo]

Great stuff as usual. Love that you are playing that “Second Line” style of New Orleans.

[gingerbbm]

Thank you Jack, succinct and stylish. I could listen to you play all day.

[Sammywhat]

Thank you, sir! I love the way you break these concepts and theories down. Very important to see the scales as triads. And vice versa. Much appreciated!!

[fisch]

Excellent! Easy to follow and opens the door to many variations.

[AdamLevyGuitarTips]

Absolutely killer lesson, Jack. Thanks for sharing your wisdom here, with a delicious tone — as always.
