Much like a breath, pick your spot to shift. Usually at the end of a phrase.
Shifting, the side to side motion of your fret arm, is very easy motion to do. Much easier than stretching a finger. I can shift back and forth all day as its just like the motion of masturbation to me. Check out Greg Howe and watch his sliding vibrato. Learning this technique will make shifting ridiculously easy.

im practicing but i feel like i lack some knowledge to practice efficiently
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in Gibson Guitar Lessons, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Dean, and I have over 300 confirmed litigations. I am trained in dadrock and I'm the top pentatonic blues player in the entire Guitar Center. You are nothing to me but just another poorass. I will Springsteen you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of lawyers across the USA and your patents are being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, zoomer. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your wallet. You're fucking poor, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can post embarrassing videos I later delete over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in the blues, but I have access to the entire AC/DC discography and I will use it to its full extent to powerchord your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy Authenticity™ your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the inflated pricetag, you goddamn idiot. I will noodle aimlessly all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking poor, kiddo.

I hope Im not misunderstanding the question.
One can play the same scale shape over the entire neck, yes. But its important to remember: I dont punch like muhammad A li ionian dorian phryg lyd mix aeol loc
When It comes to modes, I like to think of them as one repeating 3nps shape.
The great chasm of the G and B strings fuck up that repeating shape, so this is what Id reccommend. Switch to all 4ths tuning and play 3nps in as many positions and modes possible. You will soon find a repeating pattern afterthe 7th grouping of 3nps. 7 groups, one for each unique note of the scale. Looks something like this.
You see, 3 stretchers, followed by 2 malmsteens followed by 2 gilberts.
This pattern repeats infinitely. Youll notice it goes up a 4th verically as you are in all 4ths tuning.
The bastardization of the G-B string chasm creates what you posted, a fusion of two broken 3nps scale shapes, requiring you to either shift a fret mid scale OR omit a note on one string, leaving a grouping of 2nps shoehorned inbetween beautiful 3nps goodness. So physically shift a fret to continue 3nps, or mentally weld the two scales together using an instance of 2nps. Both are situational.
If none of that was on mark, let me know, or elaborate on your question a bit further.

you can cancel the infetterence by just installing a few tone diamonds, only the poor dont know this trick.

I honestly think he has the idea that I'm some jackass kid because I dropped off a cheap 8 string I hadn't played in years.

for your first question
its because they have no value of practice or what its like to devote your life to an instrument, putting thousands if not tens or hundreds of thousand hours behind each note.
They think because they can write a 4 chord song they can "play the guitar" just as well as any other talented person, but in reality they are like McDonalds, pandering to the lowest common denominator, hitting the easiest targets and thinking they are hot shit.

ya if your point is to shop for the joy or shopping, or you just always idolized that one specific axe, go for it. money is for spending, so live life my man.
full disclosure: i like gibsons, i just feel like theyre bleeding from a self inflicted QC/PR wound at the moment and its funny because the corporate side of their business started to overpower what really mattered to the folks who buy guitars. This, and once you have a good quality gibson you can pretty much call it a day, its just that for people buying new axes its not enjoyable to have to fish for the good one in a pond of guitars that probably should have had their QC issues caught before they get to the player.

So Im the first person to graduate college in my family. I Started in Mathematics and got my AA in that field but I then switched and pursued a 2 year Music degree in guitar. So I have both.
How do I rect when my family criticizes me for choosing music.
>they say things like "What do you tell people you graduate in? *mockingly gay voice* "oh i graduated in mooosic""
>"Music isnt a real job, why dont you do something useful like construction or law
Music is a lifelong passion and i had an opportunity with a world reknown instructor, meanwhile if i handed my family any instrument they couldnt even make 1 musical sound come out. not one goddamn note.
How tf to i handle this rage? What do i say to them?
Elijah Sanders
now, to me this is an ideal situation to do the work yourself since its not an expensive axe. id actually recommend going and getting your guitar back, say thanks but i need to have this fixed, then pick up a soldering iron on your way home. in the end, your gonna be learning a guitar skill that is super practical because any guitar you own can have issues that will require soldering to fix.
the man who enjoys his job never works a day in his life. as long as your arnt suffering financially, and youre enjoying what you do there should be any issue on your end.
but then, if you want a high status position in your family, maybe thats what you really wanted out of life?
Ryan Robinson
this this this this. Basic electronics repair on guitars opened me up to stereo repair and ultimately fixing my own amps. Youtube has soooo many good electronics vids. The shit is physically dead simple with a little bit of mental brain power. This is also how i realized most "repairmen" are trash.
Lucas Wood
I get that, I just am busy with school and poor so I assumed taking it to a pro would not just save me the time, but also save me the money it would take to buy the soldering iron. Obviously I was wrong, but I'm not really upset that I don't have my guitar, I hadn't played that guitar for years for a reason, I'm more upset that these small shops seem to have this idea that they can do whatever they want and lie and be scummy without repercussion. I know how to to solder.
Samuel Cooper

Watch John Mayers Inspiration to Information vids at Berkley, one of the sections goes through this EXACT question and he demonstrates it.
Some notable pullaways are, recognize your glass ceiling, dont lead with your strongest attacks, dont be afraid to use silence and "wrong" notes to your advantage.
thats a problem with a lot of services, whether its mechanics or guitar repair - they prey on your lack of knowledge to justify some scamish tactics, and they often have a stable of regulars who they prefer and give more honest service and advice to.
thats why in my opinion, youre going to want to learn repairs on a cheaper axe. when i was like 14 one of my uncles got me a book on guitar repair. I thought it was a waste of time because i just wanted to shred at the time, then i had one of my guitars that was in storage for a while develop microphonic pups and had some severe corrosion on the frets. Thats when i was like, oh wait, i have a book about this shit.
Trust me, learn the basics now. Learn the shit, youll probably save money over the long run and you will be in control of the quality you get. then you can spend the extra cash on gear or whatever.

How new are you?
Michael Myers
I've seen a few Mayer berkeley vids years ago, but I may not have seen those, I will check it out, thank you.
Another question though... I find I have a lot of trouble beginning my solos... like I always seem to just climb the pentatonic to get into a solo. How do you go about starting a solo within a song in a less formulaic way? I feel like I never know when/where its appropriate to start within the measure or how to subtly insert myself into the jam and just rip out a solo. Also, same thing about ending the solo. Ending them is always awkward for me... are bandmates supposed to kind of accentuate/cover up and take over after I'm done so it doesn't sound so obvious that the solo has ended?
Lucas Reed
>crying about how long it's taking you're deliberately missing the point to troll. cringe
yeah I'll get around to it. I know how to solder, I'm an electrical engineering student, I just didn't feel like fucking around with that shit when I could drop it off at the luthier who was right next to my college.
keep going retard, keep on going
Nicholas Davis
fuckem. literally fuck em. Why do you care what some noneducated immigrants think of you. They are not your demographic. Their job is to house you and feed you. Thatsit.
Id reccommend watching a fuckton of college jazz bands as they all turn every song into a turn based solo wankfest.
Youll see what works ad what doest, then look at jazz greats to see how they perfect he craft.
Hell, sign up for a semester or two of jazzband at your local college. Usually its only abt 150 bucks and you lear a fuckton.
Sebastian Watson
you fucked up. you got a degree in something that doesn't require it and wonder why people think you're retarded. A musician can walk into an audition and demonstrate enough proficiency to get the job regardless of their qualifications. Nobody will look at your resume in a mathematics job without a degree. Enjoy poverty.
Juan Green
>sign up for a semester or two of jazzband at your local college. Usually its only abt 150 bucks and you lear a fuckton.
never thought about that, but it brings me to my next question: is there a way to do this without having to deal with a bunch of flaming jazz faggots?
Joshua Young
Frank Zappa has a music degree. So does Slash. And Jimi. And don't forget Clapton and Gilmour. OH and Ace Frehely. Also Steve Vai. John Petrucci. Did I mention Stevie Ray Vaughan? Yeah him too.
>I'm an electrical engineering student Now it makes sense why the guy is ripping you off. He could tell by how awkward and beta you were when you dropped it off that he could fuck you over. Especially knowing it's such an easy fix and that anyone with an ounce of gumption wouldn't need to take it to a tech. You should learn from this for the future. Mechanics in particular are bad about this. Once they realize you are incompetent, they will upsell you on a bunch of services since they know full well you're too inept to know any better. You're essentially a suburban housewife.
lmao without googling tell me what a supertonic is, then kys
Evan Morales
nobody cares, the fact that you admit Google could teach you what it is means your degree is worthless. You wasted your time and money. You essentially paid people money to force you to practice and learn theory, something literally millions of people have done on their own, for free.
Aiden Gutierrez
some jazz faggots are faggots. the really cool ones who put in work keep their mouth silent and are nonjudgemental of any skill level. They listen more than they play by nature cause its a trait that true jazz musicians share, as its the only way to keep the dying art alive, to listen listen losten losten. When they speak they let their instruments do the talking.

Christian Mitchell
Except I'm not trolling whatsoever. Music school is a joke unless you're studying classical music. Music school for guitar is the ultimate meme. You 100% wasted your time, and are lying about the law and med school people. Or they were lying to you, because everyone in STEM recognizes music school as a complete waste of time. Music school is paying money to study the works of people who didn't have to study. You ape your ideals through intensive study of creations you will never achieve, for what? To have a more complete and in depth understanding of your mediocrity? To make 35k a year?
Jacob Long
He spends his time writing paragraphs to troll, he doesnt have time for education at school OR on his own. Hes gotta buttfrustrate those 10 year olds!
Charles Barnes
Not that guy, but you don't pay for school for the information. As you said, all information is free these days, and that's not just with music. What isn't free is the learning experience. Asking questions of qualified people, making connections with peers, having people to correct and challenge your ideas, AND all the information you want to learn in an organized structure so simple, there's no excuse to fail other than a student's own inadequacy.
If it were as simple as you say, the notion of higher education would've been phased out years ago.
Sebastian Barnes
100% not trolling whatsoever. Music school is the biggest meme in academia behind "art" and "soft science" majors.

Colton Barnes
I have ~6 hours worth of .5-2minute snippets of unfinished, unorganized chord progressions/melodies and a lot of them are rerecordings of the same idea but done a little differently. they are all literally only numbered 354-854. I know if I take the time to go through and filter through them all I'll walk away with maybe 50-60 recordings (probably ~5 recordings per concept/idea) that I feel have potential or sentimental value and I probably won't even do anything with any of those.
Elijah Rivera
>qualified people >making connections >correct and challenge ideas >organized structure every single thing you listed is achieved by either A. Actually leaving your room and playing gigs, becoming a member of your local music community B. The internet and it's ability to connect you with teachers, learning material(structured learning material is obtainable, usually for free)
Higher education is for the most part a meme, unless you're entering a technical STEM field that requires intensive study and correction, and often dedicated equipment i.e. medicine, physics, etc, you shouldn't go to college.The education system has been designed to drain you of money, and spit you out with a piece of paper saying you met a minimum of requirements. That's it. Now for real fields of study, this is important, because you cannot be a self-taught brain surgeon, someone has to certify that you know what you know. Music is not like this, music is a field of study where you can develop the ability and acquire the knowledge on your own, practice on your own, and showcase your ability, on your own. Nowhere at any point in the process of being a musician does it require you to pay money to go to a college to waste years hiding in a practice room to impress someone whose greatest musical achievement is getting a job where they evaluate people who play in practice rooms.
they certainly didn't pay tens of thousands of burgers to go sit in a practice room for 8 hours a day.

>Smoke on the water riff on the E string. I see you too want to master kaka as an artform
Alexander Jones
Anyone else notice sam has been hiding these past few days?
Jeremiah Hill
I'm following man, but I still need to get the E to D chord changes down, I can only do like 40 in a minute

I wouldn’t even bother with the chord change exercises, they’re painful and tedious. Just learn songs until you get fast enough at changing them.

Elijah Ross
I did give him a practical suggestion, learning songs is far more interesting and useful than changing back and forth with chords.
Zachary Powell
hmmm, maybe I'll give that a shot. I am getting better at the chord changes but they ARE tedious, but I don't want to be weak on my fundamentals because I'm lazy, ya feel
Learn the notes/scales on the fretboard for soloing, pay attention to what your right hand is doing(rhythm) biggest part imo.
Nathan Scott
At first it is extremely difficult man. Keep at it! Stretch your hands and fingers. Can you tell us where you are and what you have been learning, and where you feel you're stuck?
Lucas White
But then it will be both more difficult and less pleasant to play, and it will smell like kaka.
Jace Collins
The smell will attract bass and guitar players
Blake Morgan
I'm a real fucking jazzman. We don't even talk about the craft. If you can't play three inversions of every chord and solo in any mode I won't even let you into our free jams, ya dig cat? Most of you little faggots can't even count the meters I warm up on. Our guitars aren't even instruments anymore, it's an extension of my being. When you're don't pretending you're not a filthy casual, at least go buy a Gibson so you can look like one of us.
Benjamin Roberts
no one good on guitar started off doing chord changing exercises, i guarantee it. you're just going to make yourself hate guitar if you start off that way.
Chase Cox
>no one good on guitar started off doing chord changing exercises Wow you're a fucking idiot
Bentley Morgan
My Les Paul has kind of high action and I cant get it as low as I want it without buzzing. I was thinking maybe it can be solved with a different style nut, so the strings sit a bit further off the first fret?
My 800 dollar PRS SE is easier to play than my fucking Les Paul and this pisses me off. Thoughts?

The thing is you need to change chords seamlessly when you sing otherwise the song will sound like shit. It will force you into making the changes quickly and eventually it will become second nature.
I’ve been playing for a few years now but when I play guitar it’s the singing that takes up 90% of my attention, you’re not thinking finger shapes and chord names when you’re playing or “up up down down up” as you strum or fingerpick.

i am not the person who asked the question, don't be retarded
Andrew Morris
Here's a practical suggestion for you, user: immediately take your guitar to the nearest pawn shop so someone who's actually passionate about the art form can have it.
Jaxson Cooper
something where the body color looks similar to the headstock. thats what gets my eye.
