This concept of linking the pentatonic shapes by seeing them as having a front and back end makes it so easy to memorize. A revelation! Great teaching!

Yup, it was visualizing the "front and back" of the scale shapes that actually made the whole thing click for me!

Holy crap, same. I read your comment before watching, and was like...hmm what could this be. Mind blown lmao

I have learned more about guitar playing from this channel than any of the other ones that I am not gonna name for obvious reasons. Don’t get me wrong, I like those other channels too, but there’s no better teacher on KZread than Steve. Thank you for all your lessons brother. Much love to you. God bless 🙏

Hi Steve, A friend gifted me a Squire Strat and I purchased a HB35 Plus. I just started guitar at 63 on November 20, 2022, 40 days now. Music is not new too me as I started in 3rd grade on clarinet and l played 5 instruments by 9th grade. I immediately started an ever intensifying focus on the 5 petatonic shapes. These were very foreign at first but I have gradually gotten more comfortable. Now comes this video of yours and a whole new "aha" of pentatonics has occured. I am so excited in seing your demonstration, can't wait to get into my practice tomorrow morning. It seems I just get more excited as I go. Now averaging 2 hours per day on the strings practice while putting in another 1-2 hours studying theory, chords, and other areas of guitar. Just can't wait for each day's practice but my fingers are taking one hell of a beating. I can't see where I will be in one year but that too is thrilling to imagine. I am highly motivated to constantly learn. It's like marathon training, you don't just go out and run 26.2 miles, you've got to put in the training. Thank you so much for your excellent lessons and material. What great work you do. Ciao

After watching several dense and complex KZread videos on key signatures, circle of fifths & fourths, song structure, etc....this lessons was quite a refreshing change of pace. Thanks again!!!

You’ve truly showed a path most teachers find it so complicated to convey! Your practical is simply fantastic... i feel like I’ve improved leaps in my theory by just watching your videos, now I only have to put it to practise. loads of respect ! 🙏🏼

Woaahhh! Now it makes perfect sense to play different positions and now I finally get to visualize positions instead of memorizing :) Thanks a lot Steve!

Awesome video Steve! I'm a sax player and know my theory, but now learning guitar. Here's why I like your instruction so much: great pacing, great structure/chunking of topics, and really effective use of visualization in your presentation. Greetings from Toronto - hope you are well.

WOW! This is the clearest explanation of this that I've ever heard! Thank you for doing this!

I can’t get away from these, got hooked already..

Awesome Steve! You're the greatest "theory teacher" on the planet!!!

i love the way he says "roots"! classic!!! hes the best

OMG........the front side / back side comment just blew my mind. It's there, I've been doing it, but I never saw it or visualized it in that way. Something so simple, just four words, and it put this whole thing in a totally different light/perspective/understanding. I can't not see it anymore.....that's crazy. Immediately everything I was doing up to that point, became faster and smoother. Thank you for this.

Puzzle pieces! Brilliant

Hey very good video ! What I don’t understand is why sometime you’ll start the scale with your pinky, and other times you’ll start the same scale with your index finger? Thanks again love your vids

The simplest way to learn this is to drill the 1st position literally hundreds of times front and backwards then drill the 2nd position up-and-down front and backwards hundreds of times. Then try to find a way to link the 2 positions together with a slide at a certain fret any frent it doesn't matter. It just has to be consistent after you get those 1st 2 positions down drill the 3rd position hundreds of times. You can find charts online that have each of the positions in different colours. This really makes it super easy to actually see the positions like hes talking about.

Good.

Hello! your videos are the stuff of legend and I appreciate your work, When looking on google to find the 5 shapes they always start with (E)1-4(A)1-4. I thought the first position was (E) 1-4 (A) 1-3... Could you clarify this for me?

The rut notes

@stinemusiclessons

Hi. Thanks for the comment and kind words!

The first time I watched this video, I couldn't really make too much sense of it. So I learned the 5 positions (or patterns) from a graphical layout of the fret board. Immediately it was obvious it was possible to adjust the positions to accommodate other scales. My biggest revelation was the fact that the A minor pentatonic was also the C major pentatonic. The same principle also applies to the other scales. After my study of music theory (purchased from you) I also understood WHY this is so. Now... on to "meandering" among the notes including the neighboring positions.

Jesus man, I should have learned this ages ago. Folding out the notes of the pentatonic scale over the 6th string gives you all the positions of the other pentatonic figures in an instant. What've I been doing all this time?🤔

Nice, but how do you figure out by yourself how the scale goes for the "backside" further down the neck to be able to fit everything together? By counting whole-steps and half-steps?

@camilo1455

3 жыл бұрын

The point is only play those 5 notes he named that make up the A minor pentatonic scale. Use whatever method you like for locating them. Counting whole steps and half steps is one way.

Can you please explain why in the A minor pentatonic scale you play A C D E & G notes?

@stinemusiclessons

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching, T.! :-) Those 5 notes are the 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7 notes from the A minor diatonic scale. To get minor pentatonic from minor diatonic, you remove the 2nd and 6th notes. Which are B and F, in the key of A minor. Also, the A minor diatonic scale is the relative minor scale to the C major diatonic scale. Which means, both scales have all the same notes, the only difference is A minor diatonic starts with A: A B C D E F G And C major diatonic starts with C: C D E F G A B Remember, as mentioned above, to get minor pentatonic from minor diatonic, you remove the 2nd and 6th notes. A minor diatonic → A B C D E F G A minor pentatonic → A C D E G And if you want to get major pentatonic from major diatonic, you remove the 4th and 7th notes. C major diatonic → C D E F G A B C major pentatonic → C D E G A Basically, just about everything in music theory is based on the C major diatonic scale. :-) Just wanted to give a heads-up, if you enjoy Steve’s KZread videos, you should definitely go here and check out the new GuitarZoom Premium Membership → guitarzoom.com/join Members get unlimited streaming of 40+ of Steve’s best guitar courses, including ✔️ CAGED Made Simple ✔️ Barre Chords Made Easy ✔️ Ear Training 2.0 ✔️ Unlocking The Fretboard Connection ✔️ Music Theory Made Easy ✔️ Play Guitar For Life ✔️ Blues Guitar ✔️ Rock Licks ✔️ Acoustic Guitar ...and many more.

hey great video, why does it go 7 9 on the 3rd string for the second position?

@stinemusiclessons

9 ай бұрын

Hi. The notes of the scale in second position are C - D - E - G and A. The first octave starts on string 6 with C - D, then str. 5 E - G and on str 4 the note A. Then the scale starts over and we play the second octave again, C - D - E - G and A. Here we get the notes C on str. 4 and on str 3 the notes D and E. These notes are found on frets 7 (D) and 9 (E). And then we complete the scale with strings 2 and 1. The complete shape with strings and frets is 8 - 10 (6); 7 - 10 (5); 7 - 10 (4); 7 - 9 (3); 8 - 10 (2) and finally 8 - 10 (on str. 1). Hope this clarifies and answers your question. 🙂

thanks for the reply! it helps @@stinemusiclessons

Always beautiful. This is quite simplex stuff, I'll add a level: learn 3 note per string patterns. 7 notes means there is a 7 string pattern that repeats over the 6 strings. Knowing this pattern repeats from different starting notes/frets means you can quickly learn the whole fretboard. A good place to start is Mixolydian (5th note of major scale) as this starts with 3 identical 3 note patterns across 3 strings. That easily introduces 3 of the 7 patterns and it connects to itself horizontally as well (they all do). So in G mixo (from C major: cdefGab): G, 6th string to A and B (on 6th string) C, 5th string to D and E. And F, 4th string to G (octave) and A (9th). Find the other 4 3-note starts and 'viola', you know the fretboard patterns well in no time.

Just curious, why did you skip the B note? Interesting lesson, thank you

What confuses me is if we move to a new position and start with say a C why isn’t that considered a C pentatonic scale or is there no such thing ?

If you're playing the First Position starting on the C note, then yes. If you're playing, say the Third Position on the C note, then it will still be an A minor pentatonic. The notes in the A minor pentatonic are A, C, D, E, G. The C scale would have C, D#, F, G, A#. The notes always dictate your scale, regardless of your position or starting point.

It has to do with the notes in the scale. The tonic is in different places depending on the pentatonic position you play but the notes are the same. So a C played in a different position may be on the third string. As for minor and major, the 6th note on the major scale of whatever key you are in is called the relative minor because it uses the exact same notes as that scale. For example A minor, A being the 6th note, is relative to C major because it uses the same notes. Because of this you can play A minor and C maj using the exact same scale.

Because it would be a mode of the root pentatonic scale. There is a scale that exists for every single key and each one has its modes for every note. As long as you know the structure of the parent scale, the modes are easy to figure out by simply playing through the same exact note sequence just starting and ending on a different note in the scale

@@joebermuda6452 thanks for this - sounds like a great place to start on modes

Imagining them as a puzzle connecting the positions together was an ah ha moment for me.

🤯

This is all intersting theory & chromatics, and yet when I solo, I don't think of scales like that, necessarily. I understand major & minor pentatonic scales, and yet I just seem to go for it. I know that sounds stupid, right? I just tend to hear melodies. I can't explain it. Nevertheless, it doesn't take away from your lesson as I like to at least know what I'm doing, even though I don't, conciously, use theory. Thank you.

Find the rut note

Do confused where to start. Maybe I should stick with pentatonic and not do anything else until I have that method. I think I jump around too much.

Holy SHIT ...... the light bulb just came on !!!!!!

Wow you're one hell of a smarty pants! Why don't you do private lessons lol
