    3:29 For more clarity on this section/clip i think would be good to include explanation what makes up the minor/major pentatonic. Minor Pentatonic = 1, b3, 4, 5, b7(i.e 2 and b6 left out) Major Pentatonic = 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 (i.e 4 and 7 left out)

    You know I've watched about 70 of these pentatonic videos, I know because I've built the playlists, and for whatever reason, this is the one that got me to the light bulb. I've only been playing for 8 months but practicing every day and spinning gears for the last 2 months trying to memorize some of these patterns. Putting on the backing track I just sort of automatically started playing between positions 1 and 2. I really appreciate this video, sincerely. I actually feel like I'm figuring stuff off now and playing within a context rather than just randomly. Thank you very much.

    I find that the diagonal pentatonic is more useful for lead beginners since it’s super easy to remember.

    • @Samjamguitar
      @Samjamguitar Pƙed 2 dny

      Short term perhaps. In the long term, learning the 5 positions is far more beneficial and ties together perfectly with CAGED and any other positions of modes/arpeggios/scales etc across the fretboard! Plus I have never encountered a student that struggled with simply starting with position 1 of the minor pentatonic scale, it's such an easy pattern to learn and use immediately!

    I am in my 60’s. Been playing since I was thirteen. I consider my self an intermediate guitarist. However my friends, neighbors, strangers, and family tell me that they enjoy hearing my playing and tell me that I am a really good guitar player. I am very humbled when strangers tell me this. Now with that being written, it took me around 20 years to start getting serious about the guitar. At that time I learned the pentatonic scale. Furthermore
I applied it to backing tracks. I ensured I was in the right key. That was the beginning of my ear-training. I could hear the tone of the notes was pleasant to my ears. Bottom line is this! Learn the pentatonic scale and apply it to backing tracks on CZcams. It will transform one’s playing and guitar skills. Btw I am still learning the guitar! To truly master the instrument, one must dedicate lifelong learning.

    @irishRocker1 Pƙed 3 dny

    6:45 Actually the root locations have not moved because minor/major is dependant on the 3rd. When you showed them moving it was just cos in the diagram the key changed. If you had kept key of G, the roots would be the same, but the positions would have shifted left one position.
