There are lessons about super imposing pentatonic scales Gm pent over Am = Phrygian Gm pent over C = Mixolydian is another good one. Just remember for every mode there are 3 possible pentatonic scales. A Phrygian= Gm/Am/Dm pents A Minor = Am/Dm/Em pents A Dorian= Em/Am/Bm pents Relative majors APhry=Cmix Amin=Cmaj Ador=Clyd Out of the 3 possible maj/minpents for each Mode there's just 1 that is not shared for phry and dor (mix and lyd) It's the strongest. Locrian, there 3 major/minor pentatonics that can be super imposed A locrian =Gm/Cm/Dm pents So Cm pentatonic over A locrian would be the strongest. Most people just use an altered pentatonic like 1 b3 b5 b6 b7 (a mode of dominant pent 1 2 3 5 b7) I like 1 b3 4 b5 b7 since it's just one note away from minor pentatonic (Minor pent b5) it's a mode of the (kumoi scale 1 2 b3 4 6)

I know my penta scales and felt pretty good about it...then I played live with a student at a guitar conservatory program. Wow. He made me look bad. Yes, penta is great to start, but there are levels to this folks. I have been playing a long time too but fell very short of this guys skills. He explained a bit too me during our jam session. He was proficient with tracing out each individual chord, running different scales and modes for each. His in depth knowledge of harmony and tonal centers, modes and degrees of the scale made him sound like a pro vs. this Joe...and I am a pentatonic master! LOL I can play it fast, jump between Major and Minor Penta, when appropriate, in all 5 positions, backwards and forwards, in the dark. I know my blue notes and root notes in each of the 5 shapes. That allowed me to hang with him, but my playing was nothing compared to this guy. We were jamming and people took video...of him, not me. He knew about arpeggios, he knew where to find triads all across the neck and then selected voicings and runs that matched each chord...while I was playing it. He literally picked up on songs I was playing- that he never played in about 10 seconds- then he sounded better than me. His foundation was that strong. Songs that took me a week to learn. It was humbling and impressive at the same time. He knew Jazz, Latin, Rock, Modern, Improvisational, Blues- you name it. So yes, get your pentatonics down but just know there is a big world out there. You probably won't get there through YTbe. Get instruction with a Berklee grad is my advice. One that sounds good and plays what you want to learn.

@@QJamTracks Much appreciated. When I saw the neck design, it reminded me of neck on a double necked guitar I saw John McLaughlin use back in the mid 70's. What difference(s) does the JEM junior model have.....just offhand ? I can look it up, but wondering if you know.

@blue_serpent
@blue_serpent Год назад
Great video as always! Is there maybe a chance you can do a video of a fundamentals* roadmap on what to learn in sequential order? Pretty hard to self-learn guitar on the internet without a roadmap. A lot of teachers say that learning depends on individual goal but I believe that fundamentals* should be the same until the intermediate level - then specialize later on the advance level.

Adding a M3 or M6 to a pentatonic scale creates a new, six tone scale. Does it not?

A bonehead like me needs something to help me memorize and get comfortable with this, so mnemonics are in order, no? How's this imagination trick? For the minor pentatonic based on the 5th: Move 3 to 2 (9). For Am: Move C to B. Based on 4th: Move 5 to 6 (13). For Am: Move E to F. Based on 2nd: Move 3 to 2 AND 7 to 6(maj). For Am: C to B AND G to F#. (And if you use 3rd in Am, you try C# instead.) And then there's… Every Big Groupie Deserves An Expresso (common tuning) Fat Cats Go Down Alleys Eating Burgers (sharps) Birds Eat All Donuts, Gulls Can Fly (flats)

I have been looking to get to the next level and seen a million videos, but yours struck a "chord". Please excuse the pun!
