I've seen other videos by this guy. I remember because he has the same studio monitors I have (well, mine are the cheap 5 inch versions...).

I like his approach. Patterns help, but as he says it doesn't work in real time.

There is still value in knowing patterns though in case you completely blank out...you have something to fall back on. I like the "root shapes" because they fall into chord shapes I already know.

I've been working on a daily routine of learning the notes on the freboard. I'm going to modify it to his method and approach.
