Thats why I play in Forths now - no more B string hicup (EADGCF) great lesson
JT Gaebe
Awesome Uncle Ben! I also think of them as sets of 2 strings going across. 1st 2 strings are 1,3,5; 1,3,5 The next set of 2 after that is always 2,3,5; 2,3,5 . Next 2 are always 3,5,6; 3,5,6. The only exception is the Mixo which is 1,3,5; 1,3,5; 1,3,5 then your back to the second set again. I don't know if that made any sense, except to me.

Man – this is fantastic. I just played like I've never played before, moving around the entire neck. Also, the drone tracks you made are excellent for practicing this. Thank you!

This is exactly how I had been visualizing 3NPS patterns. Cool to see that the uncle thinks the same way!
Ben Eller

Great stuff Ben!! I noticed those tops while praticing recently and you just confirmed everthing so well and how they tie in together also!!! Thanks dude!
Michael Allen
wow this is amazing!!!!! i have been playing vinny moore pepsi lick type stuff just recently and could not have come at a better time! this also helped me visualize the rest aside from the standard 3NPS modal scale shapes !!!! awesome explanation !!!!!
Matthew Desmarais
Super cool lesson, Ben. Thanks for making this. My biggest challenge for following along will be trying to figure out what each of the shapes are for each number. Is it something I can find with a basic scale chart I don't have to zoom in on your fingers?
