    Dude, this was so helpful. I've gotten super comfortable with doing scales, but I just feel like I'm endlessly noodling. The idea of phrases is so helpful, and thinking about how you organize them is going to be something I work on.

    I still can get the part when you play starting from A chord...From the start you telling that pentatonics forms starts from 3rd,5th,8th,10th and looping to 12 fret. But in A pentatonics 2nd form G starting from 2nd fret, how is that?

    Just found your videos and have to say that your teaching is fantastic. I’ve been playing guitar for a long time and know music theory pretty well, but your explanation was easy to follow and very well illustrated. May I ask you what software or plugin you use for the on-screen note/chord dial on the right hand side? I’ve been looking for something like that everywhere. Thanks and please keep up the great work. You’ve found a new subscriber! 👍
