For this video, I wanted to go over my approach to understanding the main scales and modes on guitar, using what I call "The Grand Pattern". It's definitely aimed at someone with at least an "advanced beginner" level of guitar / music knowledge, but I try to go over everything in very basic terms (so don't be scared :). I hope you enjoy and find it useful!!

Also I'm still learning this whole video and editing thing, so pardon the image quality as I experimented with some of the automatic settings on the cameras, as well as a different framerate this time.

If you'd like to skip directly to the end solo I did:

I found this image showing a good breakdown of "The Grand Pattern" into its basic positions. Very useful for learning, and credit to Jay Skyler for hosting it:

If you're an AFX2 user, here's a link to the patch I used. The delay and reverb are Strymon units, so there's no delay/verb in the patch. Also I was using an Xotic EP Booster and SP Comp in front of the AFX:
