I really appreciate your framing of the lesson! It’s amazing how many folks are touting “5 easy tricks” and you avoid all those gimmicks. love how you present the scale, mapping root to root, and provide scale exercises with application principle. Great work! I just subscribed!
definitely an off the 6 type of guy here, just quicker to process and see no advantage if the results are the same for the chords. glad im not the only one.
Thank you for the several relavant series of lessons that you have been putting up on your incredible channel. I highly appreciate the simplicity and your clarity that your bring about through these lessons. I will soon be going through each of your RU-vid lessons, right from the very first one...
Ok, i think you're really good at teaching this. I'm all in. I've been a little stuck in major and minor pentatonics for a long while. Now i have another scale to learn. Thanks.
Exactly what I was looking for. I have charts for this scale but I couldn't quite suss out how to chop them up. Also great explanation of breaking down the theory and how to apply quickly. Subscribed.
Thanks ... I found that interesting and helpful. Sometimes I employ the 'Hyper Mode' concept / a 5th below Tonic pass the Tonic to a 4th above Tonic, for interest.
The one string approach gives such a physical and spatial feel for the scale that you can internalize it easily. Playing scales vertically (across the neck) makes that very hard to feel.
It’s impressive how quickly you talk but are still super clear and don’t spit or trip over your syllables. You considered being a rapper or auctioneer?
Great lesson. I just stumbled across your website and I have to say I've looked at many and I think you have the best teaching. Just wanted to let you know and I hope you get a lot of viewers because of your teaching method. Thank you again it's really appreciated.
Thank you Jared, am just beginning to study the chord structures and scales built from the hms and was struggling with the positions. Is there somewhere I can find a pdf of these that appeared on screen during the tutorial. All best.
Sure thing! I have a free pdf download packet of the seven most important scale types to know, each in five positions on the fretboard (these harmonic minor scale forms are in there). You can download it here: www.soundguitarlessons.com/scales. Thanks for asking
I do t know if you will see this post or not but here it goes! Well I play guitar but to be honest if you was to tell me let’s start off in A at the second bar I wouldn’t know what you was even talking about , I just , well play, rock mostly, I see and hear my short comings in my playing , I know you can’t be told how I’m playing unless you hear it so if you are curious and like to give some constructive criticism I’d would appreciate it very much
If you play the harmonic minor over a dom 7th chord or a major third in the major context you get a small window to play the scale , can you play the harmonc minor scale over any other chords in a chord progression ??? Thanks in advance
I’m pretty sure it’s cause it’s a 5 note scale position based on a pentatonic scale. Like the 5 caged major shapes. The 3nps scale shape gives you all seven inversions of the scales thou
I don't understand the point of learning a bunch of positions when you can internalize the sound of the scale in one octave then use your ears to create your own pathways. Keeps you from being locked into position based playing.
To each their own my friend. My hats off to any approach that works for anyone to learn anything. The scale shapes and positions in this way is one of the methods that works for me and one of the ways I teach it. I do enjoy working on the same material from as many angles as possible as well if it's something that I want to know as deeply as possible. I also have and teach exercises for how to freely connect between the scale forms to play between them and connect seamlessly throughout the whole fretboard without getting stuck in any position (I have a video about that coming up in the near future). I agree that this is one way to work on scales among many and none of them are right or wrong or better or worse. And every person is different in terms of what works best for them. It sounds like you have a great internal ear if you're able to follow the structure of a new scale by ear like that. That's fantastic! But that's not a viable starting point (or even middle point) for most people. If you think it would be helpful to show that there are many ways to work on these things I can post a video presenting the approach you're talking about to demonstrate a contrasting method that may be helpful for some people, especially those who hear pitches very clearly in their head. I appreciate your feedback/comments so thank you for sharing your thoughts. All the best -Jared :)
