For anyone wondering , the D major pentatonic shapes he’s playing is the same as B minor , which is the relative minor of D major . Mixing major and minor is my fav thing to do on guitar … the BB box is a perfect example of this . Great lesson . 👍🏼

This video is GOLD. So many blues secrets on display. I honestly don't understand how you don't have millions of subs. Best guitar teacher on KZread hands down.

Absolutely agree. It's hard to find a teacher, whether online or in person, who can explain these concepts in a manner that makes it easier to understand. It's like, ahhhhh....now I get it

I love the notes on the fretboard. I’ve played for decades and played pro around the world. Love your teaching style. I may have to study with you ❤!

learning how to mix major/minor in a single solo coherently is enough to get like 90% of guitarists by forever I think. it certainly opened up a whole new world for me as a guitarist who does a lot of improv jamming live

The way this channel mixes dynamic visualization with the music is above and beyond any other channel I've used for teaching myself guitar concepts. You rock

This has been a wow moment for me as a 3 year player. Using similar phrases backwards and fires between the scales, and using the 2 minor notes in that Scale pattern, same with the major scale, like a conversation …… Awesome lesson ,

Yes, it does have that conversational element. Glad to hear you got a lot out of it

This visualisation is so good man, you should be proud of this

Your FretLive animations are so helpful! Thank you!

Thank you Pow san, Eric. C playing are exactly your explanations. 👏👍🙏😎.

Finally someone speaking INTERVALS instead of fret numbers!! Thank you!

This broke it down and made me fully understand it now. Great lesson 😊

Your animated fretboard diagrams are fantastic.

FretLive animations are a game changer for me, thank you so much. Ggreat lesson and super easy to follow.

This is the best explanation of the Major/Minor scales used together that I have seen. I love the chromatic-ness of the (2nd) E up to the (5th) A. Great lesson. Thank you😀

By FAR the best lessons iv had - Thankyou for all the classes much appreciated

Thanks brother!

great mental, ear, and mechanics exercise. Thanks!

This is a ‘Pearl’ of a lesson ! Early Clapton mixing major and minor pentatonic is so essential ! Careful though…….it’s easy to think it’s just a ‘1. 4. 5’ cycle but like all “songs” the melody, progression and meter demands ‘Creative Phrasing’……eg bending and holding notes longer than just a ‘1. 4. 5 ‘ cycle…..it’s these nuances that ‘bring the major’ of Clapton !

Love this channel

I have learned many ideas from this video's how to mix maj and min ❤

Subscribed. Thank you.

What great video! This did more to demonstrate mixing major and minor than any other video I've seen. Just overlaying the two positions into one pattern was a revelation. It simplified it so well that I feel dumb for not figuring out myself. Thanks!

If I can ask! I am so far a month in. I always finding myself back here because the tone and way you teach. I wondered what would you recommend for me. Thank you so much for such amazing content 🤞🏾

My buddy taught me Major & Minor 25 years ago like this. Minor is sad Major is happy. Since then we just use the happy or sad scale. Crazy we did it without knowing what we do 😅. Like a bumblebee, who doesn't know it's too heavy to fly with it's small wings...it just flies 😂. Great lesson btw! 👍🏼

Great lesson I love Clapton Cream era, I trying to remember the patron zoom lesson Mornings , Dallas Time ? and what time was it in the evenings , trying to remember now , I have always loved the way you explain things clear and concise

I’d love to see a video covering the badge solo

I'm an advanced player. Cool lesson.

With all due respect to your excellent channel, and another really great video --- I gave up on learning dots and patterns a long time ago. I did this for a long time, but eventually found it really frustrating and limiting The best way is to learn all the actual names of the notes on the fingerboard, and the chords and arpeggios in every key, major and minor. But I sure do like your excellent analytical videos of what guys like Clapton are playing.

@PowMusic

Chords, arpeggios, scales, and the harmonized scale (chords in a key) are patterns. You can’t help but visualize what you learn - I aim to expedite that process for people, and to connect the music to the underlying structures/context. Notes are absolutely necessary to learn but intervals (numbers) are absolute to all keys. What works for one person won’t always work for another so thanks for sharing your perspective

@roncallahan40

Learning intervals makes it easier to move the keys up or down without getting bogged down with letters

U rock dude

Great lesson, thanks . Noticed at Time 20:07 playing G and Emin not F and Dmin.

Hey @PowMusic, awesome video as always! May I ask what software you‘re using for the animated pentatonic licks? Best, Larry

Major pentatonic, just 3 frets down from minor using the same shape, but the root note will be in a different spot relative to the scale shape compared to minor pentatonic

Mixodorian !!!!

SRV, and maybe others, uses one more note. The 11th note. In this example that would be d#

How can i find your video "bb king teaches how to solo over a blues progression"? 🙏

Good morning! Do you have any book related to these kind of lessons?

I swear I was listening and then something went off in my head that said you have to stop calling it pentatonic. I was like that's almost all the notes if not more😂

Is there a way to buy FretLive software? I would in a heartbeat

buongiorno o trovato le tue lezzioni finira le piu complete anche se non capisco la lingua inclese io o 58 anni e non mollo x me cercare di capire la musica soprattutto le scale nonavendo scuole e poco tempo x che o un impresa edile se ce mi piacerebbe avere un tuo manuale delle pentatoniche anche se leso a memoria ma so solo improvisare a modo mio e so che e sbagliato sei un bravo maestro

17:56

A good wake up call, that you can get a lot of mileage out of pentatonics.

POW MUSIC, Find more CREAM Clapton Major & Minor Pentatonic licks to make more lessons. I know White Room he switches back and forth from Major & minor Pentatonic and likes to Borrow Double Stop Dyads from the Major pentatonic scale

Over this standard blues chord progression you can play either the D major or the D minor house of blues for different flavors! :)

who else noticed the guy who wrote Slow Dancing in a Burning Room

can we talk

Youre the guy from Maroon 5 right

1:20 Uh, average at best. Great lesson though.

Are you selling brushes....just play

Everything Clapton plays is SIMILAR,....to everything else he plays

WOW! MIXING A MAJOR AND MINOR SCALE! GENIUS! MEL BAY BOOK 2 HOW TO PLAY BLUES. Clapton plays like a child, this, IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, it's what talentless musicians do to fool you into thinking they know more than they do

Pshhh

Your lessons are great, but Clapton? It's all Clapton's been playing for 65 yrs. It's Mel Bay Book 2 How to Play Blues crap, Not the guitarist I would aspire to be, a boring, repetitive, monotonous drone. he's a fraud. Lacks any musical imagination (talent), his technique IS flawless, but if he's your goal? Lot's o' luck, gentlemen! There are plenty of shitty seaside bars with open mic nights, do yourselves a favor, LOOK UP, NOT DOWN, it's not 1975 anymore
