Thank you Roy. Not only are you a master guitarist but a great teacher as well. Unassuming, while you make it clear what your students should know before deciding to learn the hexatonic scale. I think alot of us appreciate that. Great stuff!
What package did you get? I'm not sure if I should get all levels or just 1 or 2. I've pretty new to electric, but I've been playing acoustic guitar for 20 years so I pick up things pretty quickly
Very cool Roy. I've always kinda broke the bigger scale up in my mind into smaller riffs and will tell my students we are using a minor Pentatonic here and the next riff we are playing natural minor.And it is totally getting fabulous results with my students & helping them with phrasing..but this is the bigger picture..love it man...I wasn't thinking it had another scale name . I never even fathomed the hexatonic scale . Basically because I never learned it.haha.. This is great man. Great stuff as usual.
Thats kind of how i used to teach it. If you watch any of my earlier guitar courses, everytime i play a lick that is basically built around the hexatonic shapes I would call it a pentatonic with this 'one added note'. but it got really annoying to have to keep explaining that everytime i played that shape. Then i found out it's an actual scale and that made it SO much easier to teach, because I realized my entire playing was based off of this concept
I bought a second hand ibanez rg for £130 a friend worked on it, set it up beautifully. the cheapest guitar i've owned but it plays like a dream. Getting back into it and this video comes up! perfect. Thank you. I can move my hands and fingers as quick as you but I need to hit these notes!
You know that feeling when you finally understood something and it hit you like a ton of bricks? I've been struggling how to incorporate scales on solos and I was pretty much stucked on boxed patterns. Thanks to you I finally understand how triads works on scales rather than just following the box. I'm burning with passion right now to play lmao. thanks Roy!
Roy, I have always been impressed with all of your beautiful and powerful playings. I remember the first time I saw your video of 'What if Pop songs had solos', I loved it and watched it many times after. I am even more impressed with your immaculate picking when you cross strings. I never hear a 'dead' note or a missed note. The notes all sound nice, nothing too loud or too quiet. All of that with blistering fast speed with almost no gain, so impressive. May I ask if you do any pick slanting or is it something you learned subconsciously because of many many years of playing? Also, I think you use Dava Control picks, am I correct?
Thanks for the kind words! I do you use some sort of pick slanting, but ti's something i learned subconsciously through years of playing and trying to get my notes as clean as possible. I did an interview with Troy Grady a while back where he dissected my playing with highspeed cameras to learn about my picking, but he hasn't released that footage yet. I think most of the slanting is downwards, but it depends on which direction i'm going, and what exactly I'm trying to play. The only thing I always focused on consciously was muting other notes, so I can get a clean sound while playing fast. I still use Dava Picks to this day. been using them for over 10 years! Love the picks, they really help my picking, but th wear out very quick :(
@@RoyZivMusic Thanks for the reply, Roy! Dava should consider making a signature pick for you. Awesome to hear you had the interview with Troy Grady, looking forward to watching that! When I watched your videos I thought you picked really softly with almost no pick-attack, so never thought you could wear the picks out quickly! :)
Roy , from the moment I've watched your channel , i couldn't let my Guitar off my hands , I'm trying to copy your style by watching and listening to your videos , at work , at home , in the car , my wife start to think that I'm Gay 😂 That's why she never let me buy your course's
These are pretty basic concepts. If they don't jive with your current knowledge of theory than don't burden yourself with it. You're only going to get super frustrated. Ps. If you don't have a command of your instrument yet, youtube is the worst way to learn. Getting a private teacher who will build your knowledge from the beginning or getting a beginner theory book are the best places to start.
Email askroyziv@gmail.com with proof of purchase of the jtc course, and I'll give you free access to this updated version. Its the same concepts, but includes explanation videos and lick lessons instead of just a booklet
At 5:09, you play the hexatonic scale (adding 7th notes) Am7, Cmaj7, Emin7, Gmaj7. Amin7, Cmaj7, Emend. (Did you leave out Gmaj7 arpeggio out?) Because of F# note??? Maybe it’s just me, The Gmaj7 is in the scale, but I’m not hearing it? My ear sucks
Hi #RoyZivmusic didn't understand why you skipped Dm triad when D note is there in Am Pentatonic scale! And why you hit the 6th note instead of 7th note when you played G7th arpeggio ! Will highly appreciate if you kindly explain. 🙏🏻
Because the chords are each a third apart. A minor, C major, E minor, G major. If you then only take the root notes, the result is an A minor 7. The B in the E minor and the G major chord then results in the added 6th note, which then becomes the ninth in relation to the Am7. The D minor arpeggio would not necessarily be wrong (the fourth or the 11th and the b6 or b13). But that would interrupt the flow of the riff.
Why can we use penta and the hexatonic scale in any situation but not the others? How do I know when and what's allowed and not allowed? What's the rule here?
The notes don't clash with diatonic chords (chords in a key). Any other scale has at least one "avoid" note that if you hit it on the wrong chord it'll sound bad. The pentatonic doesn't. That's why we use it all the time. The hexatonic adds one more note, the 9th- which also works over any chord. So might as well add it to the penta
