Well, I think this could be the best approach to harmony, phrasing, and fretboard fluency I have ever seen. Thank you so very much for the approach. You have something special going here. When you get to 1M plus don’t forget about us!

Cant say enough good things about this guy and his channel. I got a lesson and he is unbelievably helpful, relatable, and thoughtful. Hard to believe he is available to the masses. Thanks again Nicky!

Hey man .. I'm on day 3 in week one and I've already made connections in the major scale that I haven't before. The distances between each interval. The minor major scale relationship. I can make actual melodies. <br>This is truly a great way to break out of a rut.<br>I'm making new sounds on the guitar and that makes me happy <br>Thank you

Thank you Nicky! I am really enjoying this challenge and to everyone out there that is watching. If you think this is cool go grab Nicky V's Fretboard Mechanics Course. The entire course is just like this video and I think its important to note that I have had in person lessons with Nicky and I bought the course as well. Nicky helped take this old metal guys playing to the next level by making me think about notes and their relationships to one in other. Apparently everything isn't just a fast scale run. Having said that I highly recommend Nicky's course!

Fun fact: you can play the first bit of "When the Saints Go Marching In" with these two strings.

Honestly Nicky this is the best guitar teaching series on improvisation I’ve seen. I love how your guitar course and weekly YouTube content goes hand in hand. You are truly an amazing teacher. I’m glad I found your channel shortly before your course started. My guitar playing skyrocketed since then. <br><br>Greetings from Germany Niki

The "hippy dippy" groove is perfect. Music is sounding the energy of life = feel vs notation and quantisation which is a machine<br><br>Love your teaching

I'm on week four but I'm giving each string 2 weeks instead of just one. <br>Thank you so much for this lesson! <br>I have never made progress so quickly before!

Working in week 2, and I've already gained a better feeling for moving around/between the E & B strings. And, this works well with what I learned before. Thank you for posting this stuff, it's golden.
