Guitar tutorial on how to use the Minor Pentatonic shape to solos over chords. Video on how to blend major and minor for blues: • The Only Blues Scale Y...
I've watched a thousand videos on pentatonic blues soloing and this is the first time I've ever been told that secret of playing the minor scale over major. Wow.
I started playing in 1987. And... You just blew my mind. I made this so much harder than it needed to be. Seriously I am just staring at the computer saying "really"? I feel like a moron.
I have learned more from you in just a few videos than I have in many years of learning and playing. You explain theory, soloing, leads and chords in a very simple, easy to understand way. Thank you.
yes i agree...i think many guitar teacher deliberately do that so their viewers keep watching lessons for years..if someone will learn in less time then nobody will watch videos
He assumes a certain level of understanding in his teaching and explanations. I don't understand fully everything, but the light turned on for me in a number of areas. Will be reviewing this clip many times in my progression. Cheers!
The most gifted guitar teacher i've seen on youtube so far. All videos are pure content and not about fancy recording. I feel like back at university :D Thank you for your content!
The real genius behind teaching any subject is being able to see, and then explain, the simplicity that lies behind what seems complex at first sight. You have mastered this brilliantly. Thanks for such an enlightening lesson.
Thank you for this lesson. It is very reassuring to see that I am on the right track with my playing. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. God bless you.
It took me years to figure out what you've summarized so well in 15 minutes. For anyone who hasn't watched it, Jules' video on blending major and minor in blues is the next step in blues guitar. You might also try using the Mixolydian scale over each chord in the 12-bar. Just as the Am is the relative minor of C major (same notes), the G Mixolydian is the relative Mixolydian scale of C major (i.e., the C major beginning and ending on the fifth tone, or the note G). But all there is to finding the Mixolydian scale of any Chord is to flat the 7th tone of the major scale.
Excellent explanation of major and minor pentatonic scales and how to use them. I must also complement you on your quality of the backing track and the tone of your guitar. It really helps the listener to hear the difference between major and minor. The lead lines are excellent and landing on the target notes. Nothing to complicated just played at the right tempo. I do wish your channel the best of luck. I would put it in the top five that I have seen. Keep up the good work. I will definitely be back to see more of your videos.
This video is perfect, I was just figuring out that every major has a corresponding minor while blindly trying to find keys to songs and improvise with them so glad to see that was confirmed here lol
Jules. You just took your lessons, Quantum! Your Theory, Diagrams And Charts Are Out Standing!!! Bravo Brother Bravo. This is Exactly what I was looking For. I was All Over. And You Put All The Peices of Puzzle together in 1 Video. Excellent !!! 🙃🎶🕺🐥😎
This is hands down probably the most helpful, well thought out guitar video I have ever watched that wasn't made by Marty Schwartz. Thank you sir, you are doing the lords work! Learned more in 15 minutes here than in a lesson I paid $75 for. Had to subscribe!
Echoing Corrina’s comment which I saw after deciding to post essentially the same comment. I’ve learned more from Jules in the past few weeks as an intermediate guitarist than I have from everyone else on RU-vid over the last 3 years. Brilliant work Jules! Thank You!!
Honestly this is exactly what I wanted to know in a nice simple short video. I'm learning to play the guitar on my own and I never seen anyone simplify it the way you did.
"That A minor scale kinda grinds against the A Major Chord...BUT IN A GOOD WAY" and thus Jules encapsulates the universal essence of musical theory in a video that should be Lesson Number One for anyone aspiring to write that first, coherent tune. Great communication. Thanks you
Hi Jules, you have helped me more than anyone ever has. I looked for a patron for your and cant find one. I want to support you so you keep going. You are amazing.
I never comment on anything really.. .have watched countless guitar teaches on here some are good, but you my friend are amazing. I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH it's kinda unreal like my family looking at me and thinking something has clicked for me well it did.... Found the right teacher
Bravo ! And thanks for your videos. You give to beginners what my 4 to 5 guitar teachers, over 30 years ago, were unfortunately not able to explain to me ... luckily, RU-vid arrived and online guitar teachers with simple pedagogy opened suddenly the dark doors I was stucked behind for years ... since then, it is a daily epiphany and I do now give all the "tricks" (yes that's the word) I have learned to those who want to play guitar around me ... Music can be complex and complicated, yes ... but 99,9% of the modern blues/rock/heavy metal/funk/rap music is not and that is what 99,9% of the beginners would like to learn. Less is more ... simplest is the better.
Jules - I have watched a couple of your videos before and dig your work. This video is really outstanding. Just subbed and looking forward to the addition your approach on the fretboard. Expectations are high. Thank you from the Pacific NW, US
Hello mate, i just wanted to say a massive thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your videos are great! You have a really good way of explaining things. I'll be forever grateful 👍
