Playing guitar shouldn't be some insurmountable task that doesn't make sense. It is fun. And fun things are usually simple in their foundations. I've seen a lot of people painstakingly memorize songs note-by-note never really coming to an understanding of why a song is the way it is.
In this video, I will introduce an easy and professional way to map out the fretboard, so you can jam with anyone, write your own songs, and understand the why behind making sounds on a six-string.
In this first installment, we'll cover the first pentatonic position (there are only five) as well as the hot intro licks and riffs from Chuck Berry's rock and roll classic "Johnny B. Goode."
Playing lead guitar is just like a puzzle, and everything has a meaning. I'll show you the basic puzzle pieces and help you apply them as this series progresses through finding them in real rock and blues songs, making chord changes, and maybe most importantly, writing your own tunes.
I also plan on covering other types of scales and modes, and showing how simply they overlay this basic framework!
Enjoy!

Really good lesson :) as a guitarist I am sometimes guilty of just relying on my ear and ignoring the theory!
