Pentatonic scale is a scale of five notes. i.e d r m s l d' . It's formula is, you skip the 4th and 7th degrees. e.g C D E G A C' on a C major scale. For minor pentatonic scale, the root note is la. So you have l d r m s l'. You skip the 2nd and 5th degree e.g A C D E G A' on an A minor scale. I hope this helped.
shocking how this video changed my game from hey u suck really bad to hey that’s sounds pretty cool! thanks for the easy explanation and illustration of the fingering after 4 months on the fiddle now I can loop something with the guitar that actually sounds good thanks 🙏
I really wish you musicians didn't come across like used car salesmen!!! Total turn off, despite your musical abilities. The Internet Marketing craze must have hit you guys a while back, b/c you all use the same BS form sales letter. What a shame! Why not create some songs/ pieces that we can download - I'll gladly pay for that.
HI, i play guitar and violin too, i like blues and jazz and i would like to play it in my violin. I know some pentatonics and play some blues a bit.... i liked your tecnician. how do i can play violin blues like you?
Robert Baussay It really is though. It doesn’t matter how many strings the instrument has, the techniques that he shows you in the video can be easily implemented on to a regular violin as well.
Yes it is. I have the DVD set and wished I never bought it. It doesn't teach you anything. All he shows you is examples like this but never really tells you in detail how to do it.
Wow, that's so cool...and soon different from classical violin. Even the posture and left hand wrist position and angle is so different! A totally different style which would take years perfect (for me anyway...lol). Have you started with classical training and sort of evolved into rock violin, or have you always played this way?
There is another point to it: his violin has 6 strings. You can play very differently with six strings. When you have only four (standard violin), a lot of these pentatonic walkthroughs (that you can also play on a guitar) need shifting or vast stretches. That would look very different.
