It's only from your lesson that I could lrearn soloing connecting all the shapes. Wonderful teaching. Thanks a lot.
What a really great lesson. you are not only a tremendously talented player but a really goog teacher. you know how to break things down and clearly explain them.
hey man where were you when I was 14? My life would've been completely different. At 60 time to start all over again thanks so much you're a great teacher
I found this video because I watched the Greer Lightspeed on your pedalboard wich my favorite pedal and then came over this lesson, I’ve been the mediocre guitar player who buys gear but doesn’t play very well, but I can tell I just learned in this lesson what I haven’t in 30 years, thank you so much Corey, God bless you!
Cory you are a great player and teacher, also you have a great sense of humor during your lessons. Thank you so much!
Not everyone that is a great player is a great teacher. You have a talent teaching

You literally just made CAGED click for me. I knew my chord shapes and could play the minor pent in each, but hadn't figured out how to take that final step to connect them together. Now I'm noodling over backing tracks and jumping between shapes like I know what I'm doing, feels amazing
Coey, Thank you for your channel and your simple explanations. The most simple connection that I missed all of the sudden comes alive. This rift is now a part of my basic knowledge to build upon. 🤯 thanks again

Great video on connecting patterns across the fretboard. Once you know where the intervals and roots are,, you can go anywhere in any key. My brain still thinks the major pentatonic but it's "relatively" easy to translate this to the minor. Thank you.
Hi there Corey - Eddie in the UK here. I've heard several Guitar " Teachers " say you can't learn guitar by watching KZread but this has totally blown all that sh*t away Corey ! Thanks for such great lessons and for the way you put the nitty gritty stuff across in your videos Buddy. I feel I can now make some progress in getting outside the G Minor Pentatonic Box I've lived in for too long ! Keep "em coming please my friend - they are much appreciated ! ! ! Best Regards . . .

You can never get enough information on note targeting. So many others talk about it, and just play, you can never figure out what they are doing. Pointing at the roots as you did looks silly, but makes all the difference to understanding. Please do something similar, targeting the third and fifth as well. Would be assume.

Great lesson Corey! Loved it. Hey... here's a suggestion for a lesson: Personally I never get it cemented remembering which position goes with which CAGED position. Can you do a lesson that perhaps is the next-step to this one where not only you connect the shapes but also share the chords in each position. So for example if you have some progression like: Am - F - G - Em then how you connect the whole thing in any of the shapes. I hope this is helpful and makes sense. Hopefully some folks can vote up on this idea. Great lesson again man!

First pattern minor pentatonic corresponds with the “G shape” chord. Second pattern goes with E, and so on. I think of D and C as the same position but with a few extra note choices, having a visual in front of you while learning these patterns is a huge help. Learning triads will also help to bridge the gap. Hope that made some sense.

Sagig72. I play guitar but am not a teacher. I did want to mention that the chord progression above is the main riff in Ted Nugent's "Fred Bear", except for the Em which sounds nice since it is the relative minor to the G chord. I think your question is touched upon by Corey towards the end of his lesson, beginning around 18:45. Also, All of your chords are in the key of A minor, so playing in the A minor pentatonic scale works, but you must target the individual notes that are in the chord being played. So when you progress from Am to F, target the C note, as C is in the F chord as well as the Am . Targeting the F will work, but you're leaving the scale and it'll sound different. The A would work too. Use your ear the music will follow. Hope this helps.. Upvoted. Happy strummin'

@@samstamos427 Thanks for both replies!! I actually just made up some random progression, it can be any. What I was trying to suggest is to have a lesson showing all the chords of the progression in any of the shapes so that we understand the transition. So... for example, if there is some progression such as: D-C-G (for example..) then what I find difficult is if I move for example to Position 3 on the C chord then how do I quickly find the G chord that's following in that position so that I don't have to move far enough etc etc.. It's just somehting I personally am struggling with and thought it's a good "next step" to this lesson.

@@sagig72 Sure thing sagig72. Corey reads these posts and I'm sure he's thinking about your idea of finding chord inversions for efficiency of movement. I know you've provided D-C-G as a random example, of course what immediately came to mind was lynyrd skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama", except the C is a Cadd9. ;-) Corey live streams every Thursday at 2PM ET. And all of his live streams are retained in you tube for future reference; he has several that touch on your inquiry. One lesson was on June 18th of this year entitled "How to use chords is your solos." Just enter that title followed by Corey's name in YT and you should find it. It's an hour and 14 minutes long; you can navigate through it at will to find answers to your question. The answer to your fundamental challenge is to understand the triads and their inversions. Jump to 23:45 of that archived live stream. Corey offers free stuff on you tube and several decently priced "TrueFire" courses. All the best.. Sam.

I'm looking at the tab for this lesson and thinking that I could add in the blue notes across these patterns for some additional tones to include. The other thing I'm wondering is which of these tones make sense to bend, and how big the bends should be (full, half, quarter, etc.). I guess just playing it and trying stuff out will lead to some ideas. This is a really great lesson, and it's ideal for where I'm at right now.

Give you just elementary tips: ONLY for FIRST pentatonic shape !! (find yourself the note position on other shapes ) ONLY on the 1 chord !! (i mean while the band plays the 1 chord. Cause each chord has their own bends but it's tooo difficult to write em all) Anyway, don't stop here, dig deeper and when you understand the concept you can apply those tips accordingly to each chords (1,4,5). Full tone bending: .everywhere there's a 4 degree. from the 4 to the 5 degree (while the band plays the 1 chord). For example you can find a 4 degree on the G string. . Everywhere there's a flat 7 degree. From the flat 7 to the 1 degree : (while the band plays the 1 chord). For example you can find a 4 degree on the B string. Full Semitone bending : . to reach "the blue note" you already know. Less than a Semitone, just a flavour: .from the minor 3 degree to quite major 3 degree: For example you can find a minor 3 degree on the G string under your index finger.

I’m glad you enjoyed the lesson. Yes, you can absolutely add the blue note in and I’ll do that in a lesson this weekend. Without the blue note, you could benefit from whole step bends. A half step bend is doable with the blue note added or, when you add other tones from say the major pentatonic

Thanks for this lesson. I've got tonnes of information from it. Question: If I'm in a i iv v progression, what note of the pentatonic will be suitable for the iv chord? considering that the fourth note is not part of the pentatonic scale? I'm asking this question based on the information on the last part of your lesson where you talked about Roots, thirds and fifths...

If you're in the key of A and you use the Am Pentatonic for blues playing...the iv chord is say a D7. You can use the D(root) A(5th) or C(b7). All will work and sound good!

When playing blues, the minor Pentatonic scale is typically played over a dominant seventh (which is major) progression. Therefore the 4th is present. Example in an A7 blues, the 4th Chord is D7. The note D is the 4th degree of the Am Pentatonic scale.

Have you tried linking pentatonics with open strings?
Another oddity about the scales is the notes are in the same positions in each pattern. Example: in shape 1, the 4th and 5th are on the A string and the A string is just below the 1st and minor 3rd on the base E string. In shape 2, the 1st and minor 3rd on the D string are just above 4th and 5th on the G string. you can locate the notes in all shapes once you know them in one shape.
