Please do not make the videos shorter. If someone is having trouble with the length they can hit pause forever unti they are ready to move on. Love your Vids. Thanks Rick.

Exactly what I just did, it just took me 2 hours to go over the first 16 mins, making notes and practicing it. It feels so fresh to practice in this way.

If they have trouble with the length wouldn't they hit >> or skip ahead rather than pause? just sayin'
This is the best pentatonics lesson I've seen in 20 years.
I've been playing for 35 years, using KZread for 10. This is one of the best lessons on the internet. Absolute brilliance Rick. Thank you.
This is a great amount of content for a 23 minute video. For those wanting more, he's only scratched the surface here. A great exercise is to pick a position and go through all 12 keys via circle of fifths staying in that one position, and do this while playing against a single note drone. When the scale roots are near the drone ("near" in the circle of 5th sense) you'll get the natural extensions that he discussed. But by the time you get to the opposite half of the cycle you start getting some insane alterations. Another cool thing is that as you move up fifths, you get brighter and brighter sounds (minor, through dorian, through mixolydian, etc.), as you move down fifths you get darker and darker sounds (minor, through phrygian, through locrian, etc), and on the more remote side of the circle you get sounds that have no diatonic derivation.

Good advice! I got some drones with Metronom on my channel exactly for this kind of exercise 🙏👌
Dude! You've no idea how much this video has opened my mind and my playing! Thanks so much Rick, legend!

I wish I had access to all of this when I was young! I had to buy book after book to piece things together and it took a long time to gather the knowledge and ability, now anyone could find a treasure trove of quality knowledge instantly! I'm thankful for my father being a classical guitarist, I learned a lot from him, but I had to learn blues, rock, metal and jazz on my own. Mr Beato is awesome! I truly love this man! Blessings of Peace, Wellbeing, Prosperity and Unity to YOU and For ALL!!! Happy holidays.

Dude- think about the tremendous head start you had on ppl who have no classical guitarist for a dad- or any kind of guitarist for that matter. My dad actually played bluegrass and country at a professional level- but he wouldn't show me even one chord. He was so angry with me for not playing bluegrass or country, for wanting an electric guitar- he barely spoke to me. And most of my friends didn't even have that- no one to show them anything- at least I could sit and watch my dad and copy after him. We spent most of our time at the local shop, waiting for anyone who knew what they were doing to make the mistake of picking up a guitar- then we would basically corner them and make them show us stuff. Most ppl were flattered and would show you anything, no matter how long it took- but not everyone, some guys were pricks. I did this so long, they hired me- I worked there for like 3 years- until the guy who owned it died in a motorcycle crash. Which totally destroyed us at the time, of course- but looking back now- what a metal way to go out, Jeff died with his boots on- we should all be so lucky. It took me years tom learn to even be the average guitarist I am now- books, random ppl, and finally- the internet- in that order. Had I had the proper instruction, and someone, including myself, had of invested in my potential while I was younger- I could've been a monster, I think.
The future musicians are all going to blow away any musician of today. Imagine anyone can come here anytime and just learn stuff like this. You are tutoring a whole new generation.

Rick this is FIRE!!! I've been playing 50 years and these pentatonic scales I considered boring has been brought to life in this context. Oh my goodness, Brilliant!!!!!
That's a great lesson, mister Beato! I've learned a whole here! Telling me I can play my good ole penta shapes, but still sound more than just bluesy, for a self-taught like me, that's an epiphany! Makes me want to give back!!!

I accidentally discovered the bluesy use of pentatonic through sheer ignorance when my younger self thought "I don't care if that's a major chord, this same shape I've been using over everything will do just fine - hey that does sound kinda cool".
His videos always have the same effect....at first I understand what he is talking about and slowly by the end my head is spinning. Amazing....

unless you already are familiar with the concepts - you won't be able to assimilate the later part of the video without taking the time to watch the earlier part several times till more and more of it makes sense - there's the equivalent of several weeks of face to face music theory lessons all compressed into one video clip .
Rick, I have heard others talk about this concept but you have a way to teach that makes its sophistication accessible....great stuff bro! THANKS SO MUCH
Well hot damn! My pentatonic game went from imtermediate to leaving people's jaws open. Thanks so much Rick, you're the best!
I haven’t had an ‘aha!’ moment on guitar since learning to harmonize the major scale, and before that the F-Barre chord. This video opened a new door for me for which I’m very grateful
This is one of the best videos regarding using pentatonic scales and sounding out of the box. Thanks for making the patterns easy to remember and for showing the different usages:)
Aaaand mind blown yet again. 🤯 Everytime I think I’m getting somewhere with music theory, Rick is there to let me know how little I actually know! Keep blowing it up, Rick. I’ll try to keep up! 🤙🏼
I need to sign up for this course, rick seems to have all the answers to my questions. How and what to practice, as well the theoretical information needed. He lets me understand the need to practice slowly and not rush. Big up Rick!!
Love what you're doing Rick. This is gonna break me out of the box a little more without really getting out of the box. Great simple, common sense description. THANKS
I didn't really start writing music until I experimented with modes, and this pentatonic method was the only way I could understand modality at first. You can read a whole book on modality, but it doesn't make sense until you actually hear it. It was the biggest eureka moment for me in music, as if I escaped from Plato's cave. Before that, all my melodies and leads got trapped in rigid tonality. I'd usually stick to basic triads to decide what note to sing, often getting hung up on the root and fifth only. I always thought a note that wasn't in the fundamental key was "wrong", and I even thought I had to sing a note from each chord for it to be proper.
Dude, I've been searching for a video about this topic for so long. Don't know why I didn't started with Beato since the first time, but I'm so glad I found it
I was learning this yesterday but with using modes and inverted chords. This is a great lesson, will definitely look into this more. Thanks Rick!
Rick, this is really amazing stuff, thank you so so much. It's so hard to find cohesive content like this.
been watching your videos for years, and just now discovering THESE gems. thank you for ALL of this great knowledge! dedicating my show tonight to this lesson!
Fantastic video. Days of intense practice from this. So glad I discovered your site. I summarized the whole thing as a single page so I could have a reference to work from.
I wish these videos were around when I started to play guitar in 91 when I was 14. I had to rip out lessons from old guitar mags or buy videos to learn this stuff. I feel like I'm saying I had to walk five miles to school back in my day. Rick's awesome. I bought both beato books. Buy his book and support him!
Rick... Dern.., my 56 year old learning curve has been bombarded. You have so... much material that I have needed to work on, and it keeps coming, OMG, everyday... You are the Boss!
This really solidifies everything i have ever learned about pentatonic theory It is cool to look at the Tritone pentatonic , instead of saying " i'm playing the altered scale off of the V"or" Mel min a halfstep up from the root " Like it
Expertly and logically explained, Rick -thank you and hope you and your family keep safe during the pandemic.
Rick I've watched two videos this morning of yours thank you so much for opening up my mind. What you are teaching here is priceless bless you kind sir!
Absolutely love the structure of your vids and the knowledge spilling out of them........ Thank you RICK!!!!
Wow, that delivers tons of possibilities by "only" using pentatonic scales. Thanks a lot
Awesome insight to how you can take the pentatonics you know and use them to different/new ways! Great lesson, thanks!
Another Beato nugget. Can’t wait to practice this. Thank you!
I just wanted to say huge thanks for your outstanding videos!! Your content is gold and priceless! I can't believe I've studied in the music academy and my teacher has never explained it to me in such a clear and concise way. People of today are lucky to have this information for free! I hope you earn well from your videos, you well deserve it!! For my part, I've bought a Beato book and it's great) God bless!
This is an amazing channel. I just found out Rick can play the guitar like a pro, I thought he was a keyboardist. This is a great tool to really memorize the five pentatonic forms all over the fretboard, and for really associating different root keys with different patterns. Plus, it spices up what could be more boring solos. Keep up the great work!

Rick your stuff usually goes over my head till my brain catches up with what your teaching but every now and the. I get blocked in a specific spot that is hard to find info about and this transitions video finally clicked and I realized how relative everything is about switching modes and when to move them and when to switch from minor to major. Thanks for the breakthrough I couldn’t find anywhere else
Awesome! It all makes sense now. I now have 10 years worth of practice ahead. Nice tip at the end too!
Ever notice that using the Bb min pent over the V if the rhythm section plays a tritone sub sounds a little sterile? But if you pivot back to a E min pent(G Maj pent) it brings the tension back. Just have to make sure to bring your ears to the gig every time.
Now we know how to solo over non-stop 60Hz hum... -all humor aside, this was an amazing lesson. Thank you Rick!
I used to do this exercise years ago with my guitar instructor. Opened my eye's to new ways of soloing. We would also super impose chords..say a Cmaj over a Dmin7 etc...
Thanks for all these wonderful lessons Rick! I can't believe I haven't seen this information before, it's amazing.
What I would give to have had this lesson 20 years ago! Still, better late than never. Thanks so much for this incredible lesson.
I've only found these by accident in the past. Thank you for laying them out so clearly!
Yes, this is the most immediately usable and easy to understand information you have shared yet! Thank you!
Excellent clear and simple lesson considering how modern and sophisticated the sound is. One addition, on the 2-5-1 bit at the end, you can complete the turnaround and cycle back to the ii chord with a VI dominant (altered) and raise the pentatonic one more half step to a Cm pentatonic over the A7 (saw that on a Scofield video). So you end up with Dm7 - G7 - Cmaj7 - A7, with the corresponding pentatonics being Am pent - Bbm pent - Bm pent - Cm pent.
Excellent video! You summed up a lot in a very simple way, luv it!
Eh Rick, this is gold for me. I truly wish i had a mentor or teacher like you when i started! It's eye opening for me, now time to go practice this théorie. I can't thank you enough for these videos, these are great time s we live in for guitarists! Be safe you are awsome!
Love this method. Scott Henderson, a real master of scale superimposition, has described this in some of his video lessons.
This is amazing! Something finally clicked inside me. Thanks Rick!
Always go back to these and learn tons more after many replays.
This is an eye-opening video! Rick, you are the coolest!
God this is a good video. No one else talks about using pentatonics like this. Really, really helpful.
WOW! My head is spinning! I will rewatch this awesome video again and again until I GET it!
Great lesson Rick. Thanks for making this stuff more simple to understand.
Fantastic lesson that falls right under my fingertips. Thanks alot Rick. Major ear opener.
University level classes. Thanks so much! Love your book! Perfect reference! Thanks for giving the gift of jazz to future players across the world.
This is the best lesson ever. Right at my level. Perfect. This will really open things up !
Ok, well that was a bit of a revelation. Thanks, so much information there.
Rick is a Great teacher! Really MOLTO BRAVO! 🎸☺️
Known knowns, known unknowns, and my specialty relative to this video - unknown unknowns. Thank you Rick!
Thank you so much... I can’t wait to dig into your new book releases!!!
Where were you and your excellent videos when I started on guitar? Best stuff on KZread
Just to say thank you so much for all those videos ! it give me plenty of ways to practice and ideas, so ton of thanks !
One of ricks best lessons, I keep on coming back to it !
Great lesson Rick, I love this channel. I've learned so much from watching your show.
DAMN!!! All i can Say is Glad I Found Your Channel Rick:-))...
Really useful stuff. Spent a lot of time looking for info on pentatonic subs, and it's all right here.
Once AGAIN, this is Brilliant stuff! Thank You Rick!
I was following it pretty well until RIck said all that stuff about "let's get started". Lost me around then.
you are amazing. my understanding in music is better than ever thanks to your channel!
Thank you so much for this! very insightful lesson. Greetings from the Netherlands
This is a great video Rick. Perfect length and simplicity for me. If one doesn't know the pentatonic scales and the various fingerings for them then it might not be the best place to start. With a little background work though, everyone should be able to absorb and use this information. Thanks for making this video Rick!
What a neat trick at the end of this video!! Totally using this next time I come across a ii V I progression, thanks Rick! :)
Terrific stuff. I use this all the time. I did a DVD on this thing, too for keyboardists.
Really cool tutorial! Thanks for that great time! I have new idea to explore now!
There is a before and after in my playing with this video...thanks a lot from the deep of my heart!
The floodgates are open. Thanks Rick, quite possibly the only scale lesson I'll ever reference again.
This is totally awesome information. I thought I knew a lot about music theory. I always knew that there was stuff I didn't know and this is it. Thanks.
Again, green guitar player here - but I have been playing box playing or position playing and keep using my pinkie instead of my ring finger - I'm definitely practicing with both now because of this video - very helpful - Berklee level world class instruction from Rick - thanks!
Far out man - RB, what a phenomenal lesson. Awesome.
Hey Rick, just want to let you know that I really like your videos and your teaching. I've been playing for 30 years and just figured out that there's still so many things to learn.......hahahah...Thanks Rick
totally awesome awesome lesson1... really love your lessons Rick Beato ...
Hello Rick, just wanna say thanks. You just de mystified Scott Henderson's Pentatonic Secrets.. Cheers and may God Bless you more!

In fact, you can find all these concepts on the Scott's Quick guide for improvisation. Pdf on the net. Very clear. But tks Rick Beato, you are a master.
Wow that was great. Very good stuff. Thanks for not holding back but letting us in on your tricks ;)
Man! I love you. This is great.
Rick Beato does a great job with his youtube videos. Very informative. I have been binge watching them. I didn't know about playing e minor penta over a dm7 chord. I also have a better understanding that when playing slightly "wrong" pentatonics it adds certain color tones. A lot of these tricks seem jazzier, more hip and more colorful than I'm used to. I would also use G minor penta over a dm7 chord. G Bb C D F is not too dissonant over D F A C or a d minor key. I simplify it in my mind as the "1 b and 1 # away penta trick". It basically takes advantage of enharmonics and tones that are inherently missing in pentatonic scales compared to seven note scales. Example: G minor penta is 1 b "too many" compared to the target key.
this lesson is a real treasure! thank you SO MUCH
Am Pent.( a, c, d, e, g) + Dm Pent. (d, f, g, a, c) + Em Pent. (e, g, a, b, d) - - - > (add all the notes together) = C ionian/A Aeolian modes (or Major & relative minor). Hopefully this clears up any notational accounting)
Best video yet. Can't stop thinking about it...
Best teacher on KZread!
This has blown my mind. Bravo!
Thanks Rick! This is really helpful and I've never seen it in any you tube channels. You are a musical genius! Thanks for helping us mere mortals! :)
Excellent, Rick! Excellent! And thanks!!!
This video is super useful and clear, thanks once more for sharing Rick !! Only one suggestion: perhaps you could include some of the pattern tabs you use in the examples, they are very cool and still simple enough to start practicing.
This lesson is pure gold. Thx Rick!!! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
This is one of the most helpful lessons I have encounted. Thankyou Rick. Do you cover this in your book ?
Thanks a lot for this Rick and especially the three minor pentatonics over a II V I it's going to change some patterns in my playing... Take care :-)
Another awesome vid, thanks Rick!
Your the best Mr. Beato.
I'm not sure if you've covered this elsewhere, but if you augment the progression with A7 making a II-V-I-VI you can continue the process and move up to C minor pentatonic over the A7 chord. I find it a nice exercise for students - A minor pentatonic, Bb, B then C, and then transfer to the next position on the guitar and cover the fretboard that way.
After years at the conservatory I realized just learned almost nothing. Thanks for this amazing and practical lesson.
