You're Playing the Pentatonic Scale Wrong 

This might be the best lesson I’ve ever watched. This unlocked something I never realized until today.

Thanks for making this easy to comprehend video about how to easily utilize the major pentatonic in a real world major progression jam session. Better than the usual “learn all these different pentatonic box patterns in all of these different positions, then you can splice them all together to move up and down the neck” videos I’ve seen. You’ve shown a good starting point to build from and eventually expand on. I’ll share your channel brother 👍

Someone wise once told me, “never trust a man in a visor”. I am here to tell you…… you can trust this man and this great lesson, explained in the perfect way…. I would be leery to trust his taste in sports teams though. Thanks for awesome lessons ✨🙏🏻✨

Dangerous advice. Actually I gave up on playing solo after 50 years scale struggle. Now I played 2 hours, couldn't stop! All you need is to find the root not and off you go.

Are you kidding me!? This is so helpful thank you!

This lesson is amazing. I've always had trouble with learning scale shapes and this just makes everything easier. I also love that you include examples. Thank you so much!

I have gone through a lot of guitar channels to learn things, and I have come to appreciate yours the most. You give usable tips in a concise easy to follow way. Thanks again, as this isn't my first "thank you" message.

100% adding this to my Guitar Lessons playlist. My guitar teacher and I are going over a G blues thing right now -- this will blow him away at my next lesson when I can vamp over his backing track. 🙂

Crystal clear maj. pent. instruction, Sean. Thank you!

Excellent perspective Sean. this makes pentatonic major much more accessible and applicable mentally. a great way to blend in riffs with chord/rhythm concepts. thanks for the tips!

Thanks for the correct way to play the pentatonic scale lesson!!! Very helpful.

That is so helpful, thanks SD........kind of did blow my mind, I'll admit it

Cool lesson Taught so well!!!!

My request was fulfilled! Thanks so much for this lesson, Sean. 😀 🙏

Sean this is one great concept. You rock thanks

Key&Scale = TONIC, Chord&Arp = ROOT 😊 Don’t know why all Americans use this different or in the wrong way. Slight scratch for your super educational stuff Sean 😅

Wow! Such a simple awesome lesson explaining the connections. Thank you!

Great lesson!

Really appreciate your work, Sean.

Wow. So clear. Thanks!

This connects notes and patterns to the key so much better than memorizing the five CAGED shapes. So much better.

Excellent observation! 👏👏👏 I think that a lot of us have been playing it like this without really paying attention to what we're doing 🤭 This breaks it down very nicely and helps you conceptualize it around the neck. Thank you!

This is how my guitar instructor taught me how to play the pentatonic scale a lifetime ago and it made me so comfortable moving around exploring the neck and finding notes to improvise with.

Dude, nice lesson!

Major pentatonic unlocked!

I can’t believe this 😮 This is great! Thx!

Nice! Thank you for this lesson!

Thanks Sean! You the man.

I’m just excited because this is the first of Sean’s lessons where he says “you’re doing it wrong” and I WASN’T. :)

This is nice, cool and helpful 🎸

All my guitar tricks are from Sean Daniel, nice lesson dude!

Thank You!!

Great stuff

Very well done. Thank you!

Thanks for the notes, theory, mechanics and inspiration.

Holy Shit! I've been trying to learn major scales forever. Ok , I don't practice them all the time. But dude best lesson on these ever! 😂😂😂 I get it NOW! THANKS

Great way to teach the pentatonic scale in practical and simple ways to not sound like you’re playing up and down a scale. Loved how it connects to the E minor scale to add a new voicing. I’ll just assume you have Elixir strings on there.

Plethora?

Love it!

Holy shit! Where has this info been all my life? I could barely finish the video straight through before wanting to try this out.

That’s brilliant thank you

Great offbeat sense of humor, which makes you worth watching even though I have trouble following your lessons.

lesson was great

Actually, that “weird” Bb progression sounds great! Thanks for posting.

Well that was interesting. I'd noticed already how chord progressions share and add note but was never able to see the pattern. Sweet!

Well... that explains a lot. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to swallow mouthwash either.

Love it. Enjoyable andeducational

Easy to remember and apply. Great lesson :) C and F# are found in C and D pentatonics

A minor chord and its relative major chord have the same pentatonic scale pattern except the root notes are different relative to the chord (and like 3 frets apart) ? So pattern you start with (to make My Girl ?), is that one of the 5 pentatonic positions (position 3) ? or something else ? TIA for clearing this up. Great Lesson

Thanks

I am very new to guitar and newer to music theory. Sean says at approx 3:45 the major chords are I IV and V, but other places I read say the major key chords are I III and V. Is this something commonly switched out? Maybe in his other videos he's explained this as well, I've not watched his full library?

Great lesson. I'm tempted to say something about my girlfriend telling me I've been doing it wrong this whole time but this is a family channel so I'll stick with great lesson.

Bandied? Lol, good word. A good lesson should help a lot of folks.😃

What a great lesson! Must be the Yankees visor

Add it to the list.

Sean has the best openings in the game!

Cool!

A very important reminder that We Need alternative points of view in every aspect of life. How boring if all experienced music the same way. Every song would sound the same.

I am enjoying this lesson and then I got beef.....so like this sennheiser sutffs, it annoyed me at first, then you explained why they are cool, especially those fucking headphones. if I was a millionaire I would have bought those. so. dude I love your lesson and never in my life did I think I would encourage Wayne's world advertising like hey man Dorito's eat em....but I dig your style for knowledge, and not just throwing things out there that aren't tested by you. I need those headphones wanna know why becuase my room sucks for recording. but it's all in good fun and time. hey Sean, peace and Love

Play like Clapton now❤

I just found out that you are not supposed to swallow Penta-Tonic either!

How about Blues in Am

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

this is wanna tell you: i leans great things , so good

Next how and when to change from Major to Minor Pentatonic

Dude. This is not only so much easier than trying to memorize pentatonic positions on the fly, it's illuminating. It's like I've been bitch slapped with a huge helping of OF COURSE YOU IDIOT but in a good way. Thank you sir.

Is this what Hendrix does in the wind crys mary?

What?? There is a major version of the pentatonic scale? Eeeew.

Old Eddie Cochran lik m8 😂

Thanks for this! Takes things we knew and shows a different way to see it that really leads toward mastery. RU-vid sure is an interesting place full of fun teachers and things to learn. Turns out this video is showing the same thing but is a totally different style. So fun to have both. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZXIvF2ARZxA.html

Im not playing it wrong.

First'ies!

I'm completely convinced that not everyone can play guitar/instruments. I've given up lol.

"Get to the meat of this lesson". Dude, aren't you a Vegan? 😅

mouthwash?! i hope not

SEAN YOUR TUTORIAL WOULD BE NICE IF YOU HAVE WHITEBOARD MATE. SOME LEARN VISUALLY

The only wrong here is watching à Boston kid sporting a yankees visor ? The pentagon won’t like this

I been try to learn guitar for 9 years and I didn't understand anything you are talking about....sorry
