• I Wrote A Book Filled ...
Im 44 and started playing guitar when I was 13. Everything I learned was by memory. I never took the time to 'learn guitar". I put the guitar down about 10 years ago when my 1st kid was born. But last week I decided to open the guitar case for the first time in a decade. Now, I really want to learn the guitar. Learn it properly. So I've been binge watching and practicing you over the past week. I really appreciate your taking to time to make these. I'll be purchasing your book.
I really like Rickey’s way of teaching. I’ve seen lots but Rickey really breaks it down to make it very easy to understand.
I really appreciate you taking time to explain this. I know it's very basic, but somehow I missed it years ago when I started. Picking up the guitar at 70+, I needed to hear it.
This is amazing. What I’ve been looking for. 45 and just learning to rock.
Got your book after the first video i ever watched from you and oh god, so far it's amazing!!
Ricky, you're a gem! I'm an aging beginner guitarist and have learned sooo much from all your helpful fretboard videos...thank you so much. Love your friendly and witty presentation style too. Please keep up your great work. If ever I get to Huddersfield, would love to buy you a pint...or an eggs and bacon breakfast, if you prefer!
I recommend Bolster Moor farm shop for breakfast! Cheers Marc!
For the first time someone has explained this in a way that makes sense. Thank you!
I watched two of your videos and i bought the book on amazon. For years ive wanted to learn and ive tried 3 seperate times and your videos were more understandable than anything else ive ever watched or read. Thank you, i hope with your help i learn this time.
Thanks for your support, glad to be helping you on your journey. Ricky
Your such a good teacher Ricky learn a lot from you today thanks Colin 😊
This is great. I'm a new bass player and many of these fretboard tips kind of puts it all together. Excellent !
Proper east to understand at last thanks man 🤙
What you have just done is to give me the best reason to memorize the fret board. Your explanations of how to go about this incredible feat. It is the best example I have ❤heard since I picked up a guitar at age 71 to teach myself how to play chords and songs. I am now 79, but here I am with you making sense to me so far on being able to perhaps learn the notes on the fret board. Most other so-called guitar guru's said that, as long as you can find the A note, the rest will happen like magic 🎩 😮😅😢! So I have now found you that I am in hopes that you can say some magic words, so I can peace together the rest. Does that sound easy enough for you to explain things to me. Now, I am a LEFT-handed player. My right hand is my fretting hand. I can play roughly 250 songs using chords. But I want to be able to play up and down the fret board like a pro. Keep it simple and understandable. Thanks so much. I will SUSCRIBE to you and be able to learn from you. This is no joke. You can laugh now if need be.😅😂
And just like that - after years and years of this being a complete mystery to me this wonderful chap opens up a whole world. Thanks man
Thank you Sir! Believe it or not, just seeing the fretboard in a vertical layout has made it click. Crazy! Major understanding breakthrough for me!
Thank you very much for taking the trouble to help us beginners.
Even, Angry, Dogs, Get, Bones, Eventually……….I taught myself the fret board pretty quickly by learning where all the A BC D are located. Then I drew a full size fret board, made lots of copies of it and then filled in the blanks. And, I always speak the note names when I play scales. I’m a retired airline pilot. We learn how to simplify complicated materials and then smash those numbers, acronyms and mandatory memory items into our heads. Every time you move to a new jet, the process begins anew and never ends…There will be a test😅
Yikes. I never thought of that. The process of flying an airplane is never as easy as jumping into a standardized cabin of a different automobile.
Thanks for that
@dustdevilz4771. What you said in your comment has helped me more than what that bozo is saying at lightning speed in the video. Thank you so much.
And if you keep your nose up in the turns you won’t lose any altitude. Maybe a little top rudder?

Every Brilliant Guitarist Deserves An Encore
Great lesson, first time I got it ^^
Hi I'm having more lessons since retiring as learnt since I was 11 playing guitar. But got rusty. I needed to do something with my music as it's great therapy. I like this saying to remember the notes. Every Adult does Get Better Eventually. Alison
I just started writing things out on fretboard diagrams last week before hearing of your channel this week. Before I even saw this video I had proved to myself that plotting chords, I would find with my ear, onto a fretboard diagram made the imaginary connection of all the notes into a solid thing I could see in a logical manner then apply. I prefer to write tunes using my ear to guide me at first then I can grab my own handwritten diagrams to fill in the blanks, see if there’s anything interesting diatonically, or search for chords I’ve found in that key (or transpose my chords into the new key). Writing it out does technically add another step in the composition process, but I can already tell that by writing it out I eventually won’t have to. Thanks for the videos
Very helpful presentation, thanks very much.
my favourites got to be there's sharps/flats between each notes apart from BC & EF Be Cause Everythings F..... also your lesson on Chunking was probably most useful bit of info as to how to memorise the fretboard I've ever seen.
You are an excellent teacher!
You are the only YT teacher who uses the same guitar all the time. I wish I was happy with just one guitar too.
I LOVE my Yamaha Pacifica! It plays sooo good!
I give myself one year before I buy my next guitar......I think that's fair.
Mind blown 💥
Great master.. gurji.. 🙏
I did my homework, next and thank you 😁
Best ,video!
Very very good lesson. Thank you
Eric And Duane Got Blues Early 🤘😎
Loving your videos kemy watched a few very well put together you make a very good teacher love the eyebrows,was nice ti see you the other month.
Eyup Paul! Thank you! The eyebrows are definitely gaining their own lifeforce. Yeah we should get together again. A pint at Rap's place when a band is on might be cool
I prefer Each, Additional, Day, Guitar, Becomes, Easier.
Love this, will teach this to my students instead!
Eat At Dave’s Get Better Eggs was the pneumonic my first teacher showed me. Wish I still had that old electric guitar.
Dang man, I could have learned this a lot faster back in the day if I was told this stuff lol

Why make it political? 🤣
finally it makes sense
HEY I bought your book a while back, - imagine I landed on this video today 4/13/24!

Expanding on your mnemonic: Eggs Fried Good And Bacon Crispy Delights Everyone That covers the entire E string.
58 Beginner Brilliant job
Eyup Ricky, another excellent informative video on the notes of the E String.On the gift of the GAB mnemonic you eloquently explain, just peek below on the A string in the GAB area and you have the notes Cadburys Dairy Egg CDE. So a guitarist with the gift of the GAB can be awarded a Cadburys Dairy Egg. Love your work, always learning from your 80 lessons on You Tube.🎸🎸🎸
I like Cadburys chocolate so this is a winner! Make it your own! Thanks for the kind words buddy :)
Got a sub and like from me nice video

Every Acid Dealer Gets Busted Eventually
I'm an old gezzer who is just starting in music. I'll blame it on boredom. My fat fingers could not handle the fret board on a guitar, so I just purchased a Baritone Ukulele. It has more space on the fret board, so even I should be able to handle that. NOT!!! I am putting my hand in awkward angles, but I still can't fret triple finger cords. Do you know of a method to get my fingers more vertical on the fret board? Maybe old people can't bend that last knuckle enough? Help!
Just watch your wrist and how you're holding your arm. Angles of arm and wrist make a difference. Relax your fingers or they'll cramp up and make it harder to change chords. It'll get better. Just enjoy the new hobby.

Is a power chord just playing two strings?
Technically a power chord is a dyad made of a root and 5th but you can play more strings and double roots and 5ths. Then you can get silly and invert the 5th into a 4th…it depends how heavy you want them to sound!
Play but only know sounds, watch others or tab numbers. Cool. BC & EF are "neighbors". Light bulb moment.

Been piddling with the acoustic guitar for over 25 years and still don’t know the neck. Also, My fingers get so sore it isn’t fun to play.

You are throwing way too much information at me. Way too fast. You gave the mnemonics in lightning speed. Some of us really do need what you’re saying and you’re acting like you’re talking to bored people who already know it.
Stop. Rewind. Rewatch! It’s a video. You can revisit it! That’s the beauty of KZhead! You can even slow the video down using the ⚙️cog icon in the player.
@@rickysguitar I have rewatched and it’s not helping, no matter how many times I watch it. When you get to the end and talk about power chords, root notes, key notes, for me it’s like you’re speaking in a dead language. Libbyworkman3459 is right, it’s too much.
