Such a great lesson - such a great teacher. If my life weren’t filled with work, parenting and a ton of other stuff, I’d be a really good guitarist now thanks to these lessons. As is, I’ll just have to wait until I retire.
Now Brian - this week is a great lesson. I’ll give you props when you’re good, & I’ll criticize you when the lesson isn’t good. 99% of the time, they’re great. I don’t have much time left on this earth. I’m dying of cancer, so I want to get as many lessons in as I can so that I can play with the Lord.
@@activemelody It’s ok. I’m 60. My cancer is due to a genetic defect. I have no family left because of it. They all didn’t live past 64. So, I’ve made my peace with the Lord, and I’ll accept whatever my fate will be.
Hey Brian, thanks for keeping it simple and clear, I needed this, appreciate your logic, a few more pieces of the puzzle came together, every little bit helps and you are a natural at teaching.
As always a great lesson. And the guitar wow! I've got a Martin HD28 that I bought in 2003 but I always regret selling my first good guitar a 1966 Martin 000-18. Nice job Brian.
Always good stuff from Brian, and while it's true that the G Mixolydian is the same as the C Major (because G is the Mixo or fifth of C) people should simply learn the Mixolydian as is: the Major scale with a flatted 7th. The scale is too essential to blues, jazz, country to be trying to convert from other keys. The same is true of thinking of the G Major Pentatonic as the E Minor Pentatonic, for instance, just because they are relative major and minor scales.
I love this tune and a bit of bluegrass, just been chatting at work about Popcorn Sutton as one of the lads makes his own 'moonshine' whisky and he gave me a bottle for Christmas. The thing I like about this piece too is the metronomic rhythm, really good for my timing practice.
@Major Vincenzo Damn, why do people like you and millions of others do shit like that, if someone wanted you in they're instagram account, they'd probably just let you know right? Hackers, are jackers! And very dishonest people. Oh well, have fun being a jacker you hacker. Plus after people read this, you really think people will trust you anymore? Unless the people are just like you, untrustworthy people.
I wish more online tutors would explain this connection between the major scale and Mixolydian mode. I know they are viewed differently but it's almost like some tutors deliberately want to make things sound more complicated than they are!
Oh you really are good. A most excellent explanation of the mixolydian mode. LOL I see everything on the guitar as a minor scale pattern then I just find my relative major so if I want to play E Dorian I will play B minor scale. It works for me lol I can play all the modes on the Fly
That guitar looks like a nicer version of an Oscar Schmidt 3/4 size guitar. Easy to bend on with the short neck and it responds nicely. Great lesson too.
@@HarryBarry97 Yer agreed and the way Brian explains that is just perfect and simple. I've just been practicing the major scale with the modified note over Christmas too to drum it in and it's really easy once you know.
Brian the pentatonic scale pattern (1 G )(2 E) (3 D)( 4 C)(5 A) trying to understand telling me this is the same as the triads play the pentatonic scale would be played under same format if I was playing D shape triad G number (3 D) Pentatonic it doesn't match up I don't see the D shape in the format of pattern (3D) I see it pattern (C4 I also see pattern c triad and ( C4)
I probably missed this, but when adding notes from g minor pentatonic is that only when the song is in G? Would you add c minor pentatonic notes when the song moves to C? Something like: 1) G major -> G mix(aka C Maj) -> G min pentatonic 4) C major -> C mix(aka F Maj) -> C min pentatonic 5) D major -> G mix(aka G Maj) -> D min pentatonic
Doing the "5th of" really kills my brain. It's a lot easier for me to think of using the root and going up a 4th. Even easier, is to start in the E shape and then play the A shape in the same position and name the chord and then that's the mixolydian scale.
Are we allowed to make requests? I want to learn really swampy blues but I just can't find anyone who teaches it. Is this a possibility? I just found your site. Will probably be checking into a premium after the first of the year. Thanks for sharing :)
If you're playing Gmixo aren't you meant to use a Dm chord? Trying to work out how to play the mixolydian scale over a minor chord but I cant figure it out
A Light bulb moment for me was that all the mixolydian notes and major scale notes is just pentatonic scale with added notes. So in mix and maj scale there is always the pentatonic notes
