Minor CAGED System (All 5 positions!) Connect the minor pentatonic and natural minor scale - EP525 

Keep this cycle going, please!

Great lesson especially including all the chord versions associated with the scale positions. This is the stuff people need when learning.

Hello! Brian, I'm a new comer to you ..Mattie from Ireland., I just know a few chords I learned myself..I think you're a great teacher, picking up a lot from you..just want to thank you...from an OAP..😊

Maybe it's just my way of understanding things, but I have never had anyone explain modes and scales in a way that makes so much sense. These videos are so helpful. Thanks man!

Yes. This was a great follow up to last weeks lesson. A third lesson on playing over changes using the cage system would be great. No more than three changes please. Thanks again.

I believe there's not many people in the world, who have truly found what they are meant to do. You have definitely found your calling. Your passion for teaching music is apparent!!! Please keep it up !!

This is musical alchemy…light bulbs going off all over the place. Yes, please keep this cycle going ! 👍👍

This is an absolutely fantastic lesson, Brian. It unlocked the door to soloing over minor chords. Now I can connect the dots. Thanks so much. You're a treasure!

Brian, this is great! Not only does it sound great, but it makes an excellent warm up exercise. And, it teaches. Thanks! 👍👌

Another vote for a follow up playing the changes please Brian. Keeping it simple is an art. Keep it up!!

Good day. You're very kind to make the time to illustrate these concepts. Cheers!

Years ago, I took classical guitar lessons and the way my instructor taught the concept of relative major/minor scales was so much harder to understand than the way you teach it in this video. It's starting to make sense now 🤯

Only for these two lessons the membership is worthy. Thanks Brian

This is a great series. The minor scales are interesting. More lessons please.

Hi All! It’s 11:07 here in Jacksonville, Florida, I’m Sally, and been singing and strumming since the 60’s, but lately tryin to learn to play some lead. Right now, I’m hospitalized without a guitar, but kicking back and enjoying some of your Active Melody lessons from my hospital bed. Thank you so much for all your free videos, and wondering the cost of your whole package especially related to playing blues. 🎸 thanks again!! 😍

Sooper - yes we want a follow up lesson, not only one but 10 and more…👏👏🎸👌😊

Thanks Brian for another brilliant lesson, I have learned so much in a short space of time, and yes a part three would be great I now completely understand the modes with your fantastic lessons, including all the extras you get as a premium member.

Thank you Brian

Nice! I always learn from you Brian!

The minor CAGED positions are really useful😀👍🙏 and I love that last lick🎸

Brian, you're the 1st guitar teacher since Francisco Tárrega who creates the most beautiful exercises for his students! If I can just play your music, I'm happy! ♪💕

Awesome thanks 🙏🏽

Pure Gold! Major is buried in all the positions!

What a GREAT Lesson, Bryan, Yes, Please do a follow-up lesson!

I saw this lesson coming in my dream yesterday.What an invaluabale lesson.Thanks B.

I found you on RU-vid. I love your lessons they’re great.

I'm glad you are doing this lesson. The major scale is easier connect with the major chord shapes. It's a lot of stuff to adhere

These latest lessons are so full of light bulb moments.. Brian, keep these type lessons coming!!

Keep it going..it's great..a great teacher 👍 👏 👌

Just a tip: at 5:53 where you have the diagram on the screen... It might be helpful for some if you rotate it 90 degrees to the right, so it lines up with the fretboard we're seeing on your guitar. That way, we don't have to translate it in our minds while we're already translating the guitar from viewing yours (straight on) to our own fretboard, lol.

Mind opening!! Please continue and thank you!

Hi Brian, this is super helpful. A third part would greatly appreciated.

That at the very beginning sounds a lot like the things my grandpa used to play - maybe not perfectly, exactly the same but highly reminiscent. He was a Chet Atkins super fan. But that's the kind of stuff I'd like to be able to do someday. I can basically only do regular chords, power chords and tabs - basically just rhythm. I've never got into the fancy lead stuff and scales and such lol.. That's what he would always try to start with when he'd try to teach me but I had too much ADHD as a kid - plus I didn't get scales and how they related. I only began to understand how it fits together in the last several years but now, it's a lot harder for me to learn since I'm in my late 30's. I don't absorb information the way I used to. But I wish I had another chance to let him teach me as an adult. It was sad to watch him slowly decline and stop playing guitar, stop working on his old cars, stop working in his garden, stop taking walks in the woods, etc. But my left pinky apparently got broke when I was a kid and it kind of locks up at the middle joint kind of like an upside down 'L' or 'r' shape - like the first two segments of my pinky lock up straight and I can only move the fingertip - like if you think about it, your pinky should basically be flat with the tip holding the string down but when I try that, the middle joint bends backward to nearly a reverse 90 degree angle - like I can't get it to resist and push against the string - I can force it to bend right but when I use it on a chord, it snaps and defaults to that position - so I have trouble with some chords - especially B chords and F to some extent. I know how to form B and Bm but I rarely ever use them when I'm just strumming and playing around. A lot of stuff I can just use my index, middle and ring finger - and hold two strings with my ring finger. But I wish I could switch my left and right pinkies lol.. I know Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath was missing his fingertips and still became one of the most iconic guitar players of all time but I can't figure out a workaround for my pinky the way he made artificial fingertips lol... Like I've been thinking I need to lock it into a semi-bent/relaxed position. But speaking of Tony Iommi, maybe there should be an "Iommian Mode" lol... But you put this information in such a way where it makes a lot more sense than from other sources - like how it all fits together and relates and everything.

Love this series. More please!

Очень хорошая тема. Продолжай в том же духе.Спасибо, ты лучший преподаватель.

I can't wait to get good at this, and to practice it often! So far, I've got the first two positions pretty much down. (This is my 3rd time listening to it, cuz I keep practicing wrong melodies, lol. But there's a lot that sounds good in this key.) It's got so much in it! That's why I want to learn it & practice it often. Thanks, Brian!

Of course there is an interest. I’ve watched 525 plus of your videos and haven’t seen one yet that I wouldn’t want to watch again.

Wow such a great lesson

Still great : I learn so much ! Thanks Brian .🤩

Please keep it going, not to be selfish but this is working for me and it sounds cool too!

Thanks always inspiring

Great lesson Brian! Thank you ! Would love to see a lesson on the importance of chords for part 3. Or whatever you feel would be beneficial for All.

Love ❤️ the graphic overt the frets!

cor blighme thats one nice Strat ,you sure do make it sing great lessons ,thank you,keep up the good work

Your best video so far in my opinion !! Saw that you did another one for mixolydian, which is great. Would be great to have another video with the same format, but using the major pentatonic and major scale!!

Ya,ya,ya! More please!

I found this very useful.

Yes please, great stuff......😊

i discovered you today i love your style and sound ❤ I'm practicing already... like to see more amazing stuff...best wishes 😊

Yes yes, more of these.

This is awsome stuff thanks sir.

Excellent!

Many thanks for this lesson! You guive us very very interesting material thanks for all your work ;o)

Thanks great video!

To connect the 5 CAGED boxes to chords, add the b7 to the chords to make them all Dominant 7 (1-3-5-b7); then add the major 3rd to the Minor Pentatonic boxes (1-b3/3-4-5-b7). Make sure to only go UP from b3 to 3, never down and way from a chord tone.

part three yea!

Yes please more 🎸🤟

Good video like the scale charts, music had a chet atkins windy&warm flavor to it in the beginning

❤keep it up

Thank you for pointing out the blue note on 23:40. Can you do a lesson about those? Greetings from Belgium ❤

Muito bom!

Love these wee licks , finding it a bit challenging , brilliant .where do I get part 2?

Brian is a GOAT

So tastefully presented!

Very nice lesson, Brian. You're getting a sweet Mark Knopfler tone with that in between position on your Stratocaster. What strat model is that?

I need more on the positions 1st 2 nd, etc,etc

Love this stuff So how can i get the tab for the whole thing & backing track

10:54 I finally GOT it! Your minor and relative Major are just different STARTING points in the same scale! (I think... Right?)

🎸mooi

Seems if I just play the C shape over any minor A shape chord it’s Aolien?

Brian, pink?

Maybe both lol

Patterns, instead of positions, sry

thank you so much, with your example I have finally given up trying to play guitar, after 40 unsuccessful miserable years. with your lessons I see now I have no music in me. thank you again for helping me realize how much time effort and energy I have wasted in the pursuit.
