John Mayer Teaches His PENTATONIC EQUATOR Concept with fretLIVE Animations! (Guitar Lesson)

Ok JM is legendary, but who's the intern who had to go back and chart out every single note he played for the animated tab? Hats off to them because that's sick!

This animation is pretty sweet. It’s like seeing how a magic trick is done. After you see the animation, the patterns are revealed and with a little practice, the trick seems attainable and not as much a secret.

If you play it at half speed it’s your drunk uncle giving you a banger unsolicited guitar lesson.

That animation is a life changer. That did more for me in 5 minutes that in 35 years of self-study. This is what I've been missing my whole life. When it stopped I was just heartbroken. Where can I see more instructional videos with this type of animation? It was perfection. The best I've ever seen by miles

“I could play forever and I will.” I respect that.

His ability to make the minor pentatonic to sound like that always blows me away.

John is just playing the 5th position of the pentatonic scale. Just learn the 5 positions of pentatonic scale and it will set you free.

The John Mayer lessons are amazing. To have someone at his level breakdown how he looks at what he’s doing and how it makes sense in his mind is something you could’ve never been given for free twenty years ago.

They say everyone learns differently. Well, 25 years after picking up a guitar - FINALLY. THIS my friend. This is how my brain learns best.

I love how not only music theory but more specifically the guitar is just this puzzle that we all and even John Mayer is still trying to figure out and we all share clues with each other in this journey to solve it. This video is brilliant. Thank you for making this. Liked and subbed. Oh yea and the animation is next level detail

"It's so much fun"...I love that he says that in the lesson. Everyone forgets that's what creating music about. Great job on the editing and animations.

Wow. I've been playing Blues guitar for over 40 years and it NEVER occurred to me to riff on the Blues scale behind the Blues box. I just tried it now. As familiar as I am with all the notes on the fretboard, I found it more than a bit tricky landing on the I, IV, V notes and chord tones in the position below the "equator". Great lesson. I'll be practicing this, for sure. Thanks, kid. I guess you are the real deal after all.

The lesson itself is gold, but the animation is impossibly good. How the hell did they manage to pull it through? Extremely well done!

HOLY SHIT. I'm not even 3 minutes into this and it's already the best pentatonic video I've ever seen. And I've watched dozens... It's the best explanation, the best graphics, the best everything. How come every YT guitar channel doesn't do it like this? I'm a new sub!

I don’t see the big deal? I figured this out years ago while drinking beer and smoking great weed at a friends house!! In my early 20’s. I was staring at a guitar poster on the wall in my buddies room, that had the pentatonic scale up and down the neck. In one crazy moment, it all made sense!! I was astonished at what I was seeing!!!! It all fit like a puzzle! I picked up my guitar after getting home a few hours later and checked out my epiphany, it was amazing and worked perfectly! After that, I was able to completely solo up and down the guitar neck and always know where I was at! Being able to blen minor and major anywhere I wanted to, It was absolute perfection!!!

i met John's Guitar teacher many years ago he bought my 1956 Gretsch Round up Amp. He told me he was his teacher I had never heard of John Mayer, he told me that he one time played in Helen Reddy's band I believe. He drove from NYC to Hartfod Conn. I drove from Boston and met him We did a swap plus cash for that Class A Gretsch amp the big one

This is the hands down best guitar lesson I’ve ever seen. This has totally changed my soloing in 48 hours.

Whether you like his music or not (I do), John Mayer is a truly great teacher. Clear and precise.

"That's not a capo," classic Mayer humor and the kind of subtle stuff that I love in his lyrics.

Instead of Equator I have been teaching circle pentatonics for years. Same concept but when introducing the concept to a student I will show them how to go up the first down and then down the second box and then keep circling up and down until they are familiar with the notes. Then you choose the next two boxes and practice those. Eventually you learn the whole fretboard.
