Excellent lesson on how to "break the spell" of noodling. the 1, 3, 5 are the stable chord tones, 2, 4, 6, 7 are what add color and interest.

Marco, my favorite lessons are the ones where you make me want to play for hours.

[itsamegabriel]

Marco, i just found you, and allready fell in love with your teaching. Please dont stop, do as you are, its just amazing!!! If this what was missing for me to start understanding my guitar properly.

[ethantanatsiwasesedza]

There is lots of beauty in the simple melodic musical ideas that lie within scales. It takes intentional decisions coupled with artistic expression to tap into this kind of sublimely creative work flow. Thank you Marco for sharing these musical tools with us 🎸🌠

Great lesson on how to actually create tension and release while soloing.

[saraskelton]

This is such a cool lesson and idea, I would love more videos like this- the explanation of the grounded vs tension was great! Thank you!

[bennybenenati]

You nailed the point in a few minutes video. I can pick now the notes I want to play consciously instead of only relying on my feeling. Grazie. 😊

[tianjohan]

What a great way of thinking about scales and what notes to play and why . Hopefully this will cure my noodling problem. I hope to see more very basic and to the point videos like this from you. I don't think I've ever seen this point actually being explained before, and then it is easy to watch all kind of videos about scales, yet end up noodling. Look forward to an in depth dive into this with you.

Excellent video!! Great explanation of tension notes and resolution. Thanks

[RR]

Thanks Marco, always fun and useful lessons :) Need to learn the notes on the fretboard :D need to learn scales, then I feel like it makes so much more sense in creating chords and music...

[maxkelter]

The interval accompanied with each note is very important as you brought that out. Thanks Marco.

Fantastic lesson as always. Thank you for sharing. I started last night and your right it’s addictive and so much fun to simply make music.

[javilobaton]

Gracias, Marco. Muy útil y bonito. Voy a empezar con la escala A menor, porque veo que el dibujo es más fácil y las notas son naturales y más fácil de recordar.
