This is probably the most useful guitar lesson on the internet. Turbo boosted my fretboard knowledge in just 6 minutes

The amount of work you put into this video's is amazing how do you even do the animation a bro? You're amazing

I just discovered the relationships between shapes, transitions, and the connections between song scales (and chords) and soloing. This lesson really pulled everything together and gave me a solid foundation for practicing. Thank you, Garry, for not hiding precious knowledge behind reinvented titles and advertisement of "magical guitar methods"! I would pay only for this 18 minutes lesson!

I just sit and have coffee in the morning and watch and listen hard and learn.
Seeing and getting that sound in my head makes it better / not easy to start to play it.
I really dig the lesson in this format.

I am 61 years old and have been playing guitar off and on since my mid-twenties. I retired a couple of years ago and started playing a lot more. I've gotten better on my own. I guess a good analogy would be if I was traveling down a four-lane highway, I've moved from the slow senior citizen's lane on the far right and am firmly entrenched in the second lane with all the other traffic. I was happy. But then tonight, I stumbled upon this video, and within an hour, I think my guitar soloing skills have moved over to the third lane and are on the verge of busting into the high-occupancy fourth lane. Your theory and teaching skills are off the charts. I can't wait to see your other content. I know this will sound silly, but this video has changed playing for the rest of my life. Thanks!!

You don't understand how powerful this video is, this is crazy, thank you so much

[MajorUpgrade]

Thank you for not assuming that we already know all of this stuff. You really break it down in a way I can understand it.

[hushhog]

I’ve struggled with learning the real way to play scales/modes. This makes sense to me from the beginning. This is awesome. You put it in a way I can understand

[steveporsche]

I've watch a lot of other music theory and guitar lesson, but this is make more sense than any other teaching. Thank you !!!

[avijitov]

I just loved this guy and his channel. Everything is illustrated very clearly! Thank you for your wonderful efforts.

I've been playing guitar for about 18 years with a 7 year break in the middle. I am self taught so it's a slow journey. The last 3 years I've been trying to utilize YouTube to learn. I have found many good channels for learning but this one is by far the most effective for me. I know not everyone can learn things the same way the next person does. I'm not sure what it is with POWs methods but I find i retain the information a whole lot better than I do with any other channel I've been watching. That said, I'm going to sign up for Patreon as soon as I can. Thanks for all you do here! I can't tell you how happy I am with all your videos!

Hands down the absolute best instructional video I've ever seen. A lot of others are good but I find myself not learning much by the end of them. Yours is unbelievably educational. I can finally see how to actually use all the shapes together

[chappiedope]

Sadly....it has taken me many years to understand the idea of the pentatonic scale...today THIS VIDEO has connected all my little islands of acquired info throughout 22 years of playing self taught. Off and on that is. But 3 straight years of actually trying to learn what exactly I was doing. 3 years of many paid courses, which were great and mostly finished from start to finish. BUT THIS VIDEO...this free video...was the video I have been searching for to connect everything I learned. So hard to find or search for what you need when you can't really explain it out loud. I shall enroll into your course. Thank you so much for this extremely useful video. Idk how to explain how happy I am right now!!! THANK YOU!

[immorion]

Gary, this lesson is amazing. I listened to it in my way to work and the way you explain the difference scales and how to find them is fantastic. Since I have been plucking at the pentatonic scale for the last couple of years this lesson has explained what I have found. Now I can practice with purpose and understanding! I am sharing your content with everyone I know that is messing with a guitar. Cheers!

[robny]

I thought I found a secret when I started watching others lessons upside down.
So much easier to mimic.
Here you are, animating it for me
POW, BAM, WAM.

[dawnnwilliams]

I’m a bass player and I watch a lot of guitar tutorials because you guys explain things way better than bass tutorial guys IMO. This explanation is one of the best I’ve seen. I think the mix of practical and theory was perfect. Some of the things you explained I had seen before but with your explanation I was finally able to internalize them. Thank you.

[johnfair]

Man, thank you so much for your lessons. I grew up learning to play by ear wearing records out. No musical training. I bought books on scales and learned to jam in the pentatonic scales and from learning solos by ear and figuring out what notes fit with what chords, but I never learned the chemistry of it all that would take me where I wanted to go. You are opening that door for me. You have no idea what that means to me. I have been frustrated trying to express myself in my playing, but never had the road map to help me. You are just that for me.. I really really appreciate you.

[peetey]

Love the visuals. It so helps. Love it.

[ILoveMagic]

Dude, this is awesome. No other guitar teacher on Youtube teaches it like this. The 2.5 shapes + start on pinky/start on index is such a good way to memorise it.
