  • In this video follow these six steps for Shape 4. In our Patreon group we have much more detailed versions of this video plus Tabs that will walk you through the whole six step process and explain in more detail how you can use these to radically improve your playing today

    My book Guitar Soloing Like a Pro follows a similar format for Shape 1 Minor Pentatonic and more

    Memorizing the shapes is not enough to actually get good at soloing on the pentatonic scales on guitar. I use this method with all my guitar students to truly master the pentatonic shapes and it's just six steps: Memorize the roots, favourite bends, blue notes, arpeggios, chord tones, and common licks. If you do this on every pentatonic shape, you can truly master the scale.

    You may be the most innovative guitar teacher on CZcams. You take subjects we are all familiar with and give us a totally new approach on how to utilize it to our benefit, but in a very structured manner.

      Thank you! I am gradually doing this for all the pentatonic shapes but on our Patreon group www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver I will do similar stuff here on CZcams in the future though too :)

    I teach music for free. I always say that we are and always will be students. I recommend that all of my students learn to identify their goles and how they will achieve them. From a multitude of councilors there is success! You are my first recommendation for any student. A++ for Clearly explaining tuff concepts in an unpretentious way. Thank you for caring so very much!

    I found you lessons about a month ago and instantly realized how great an instructor you were. Since then i have been watching them all. Sometime wish there was a guide on the order to follow the lessons to aide in my progression. If there is please let me know. Anyway, this particular lesson is one of the best lessons I have ever watched. Not only the quantity of content but its simplicity is awesome. Thanks. Also, bought your Solo book as well to support your efforts. Thanks and keep ‘em coming

      Awesome thank you! Book 2 is coming out very soon. I'm hoping to put lessons in an order on Patreon over the next couple months. CZcams unfortunately isn't well designed for doing things in an order.

    Really loved the focus on a Shape 4 (funny B string shape as I also now call it).
    I do tend to find myself hanging around shape 1 (easy shape) too much, so this is great to experiment elsewhere on the neck.
    Thanks for all your content Blue. It's really appreciated

    • @GuitarLessonsVancouver
      @GuitarLessonsVancouver  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Thank you again! Happy see you keep coming back to watch more videos. I admit easy shape 1 is still my favourite and that will never change. But shape 4 is soooo good too. More coming on shape 4 next week :)

    Hey Blue, one of the most important concepts on guitar playing is to realize how everything is connected, I like how your lesson run that way to glue everything together, thanks a lot. Rafa from Spain here, I changed my avatar ;-)

    great lesson - I also love using the flat 9 just before resolving to the root

    • @GuitarLessonsVancouver
      @GuitarLessonsVancouver  Před 8 měsíci

      Flat nine before resolving to the root... I think SRV used the flat nine in a little hammer-pull trill sometimes. I don't tend to do that but maybe I should be :)

    0:51 ooo! this is interesting .. i never thought some would be more Popular than others ....
    now i 'd like to know the Popularity and is that the same as the most useful, cause thats not always the same

    • @GuitarLessonsVancouver
      @GuitarLessonsVancouver  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Hmm good question. I think they are all equally useful because they all have the same notes, the shape is just different because it's in a different place on the fretboard. But some shapes, like this one, are easier to play and have the sweet notes under the third finger, which is easier for bends and classic licks. Maybe that's why they are more popular

    Great lesson Blue, thank you! But why no mention that this shape is the exact same shape as the “easy shape” just moved down one string? And when is Book 2 coming out???😬

      @colindayo Před 8 měsíci

      You sure?

    • @GuitarLessonsVancouver
      @GuitarLessonsVancouver  Před 8 měsíci +1

      That's a good point. I do sometimes say that in lessons here. They are essentially the same shape starting on the next string. Book 2 is coming very soon. I have one more exercise to write for it, then record the samples. Almost there!

    • @GuitarLessonsVancouver
      @GuitarLessonsVancouver  Před 8 měsíci

      @colindayo It is pretty much the same shape but when you start on the A string instead of the E string, the tuning of the guitar is what gives it a different shape, especially at the B string, where I call it the "funny B" string shape.
