    I use the Pentatonic Plus scale. The pentatonic, plus whatever else sounds good to me….lol

    Once I learned the difference of major / minor pentatonic , chords of a key , CAGED and that the major pentatonic positions literally fit around all those diff shapes , it was a game changer to start playing more melodically and not just playing single notes. Makes u sound like u know what ur doing 😂 love this stuff

      I spent a fucking eternity there, it is SO HARD to move onto more advanced playing.
      I finally reached next level by:
      a) choosing a particular style and researching its key scales and intervals
      b) brute forced at least 2 greek modes into my brain and forced myself to use them
      c) started trying to identify scales that build common solos from songs that I could learn by myself.
      And a TON of improvising over backing tracks

    Thanks for summarizing the old pentatonic theme so compactly again. But, the most important thing is the rhythm, the groove, the feeling when and where a note is played.

    Thanks for this Rhett; I started playing again during the pandemic after a ~20 year hiatus, and figured out a lot of this myself, but it's good to go more in-depth with you, and you lay it out cleanly and concisely.

  • @mvp6692

  • @smacker360
    @smacker360 Před rokem +14

    Wish I'd had this lesson right after I learned all the minor shapes. It took me quite a while to figure out I could play the relative minor for the major and that was only after I learned the circle of 5ths. This lesson would have saved me many hours of thought. That being said, all those hours were needed anyway. Great lesson!!!!

    What a beautiful primer lesson. I’ve been learning tons from you over the past few years and now I’ve reached that place of my own mastery where I’ve begun to turn around and teach other people. That space of trying to illuminate the basics, such that they can transition you from the terra incognita of the early fretboard into a traveler across a well worn map of grooves that are the frets of that old friend, the knotty guitar neck. Your pedagogy is sound. Thanks for always being an inspiration.

    Rhett, I knew this when I played piano years and years ago, but this just blew my mind with the relative major and minor scales on guitar and how they are the same. Thanks for all the educational work you do, keep it up! Also enjoying your slide guitar course atm.

  • @TheBaldMiddleAgedMetalHead

    The thing I always found quite funny about theory was you start with minor pentatonic with 5 notes you can use, then say b5 for blues, then Maj 3 for a mixolydian sound, perhaps the 2 & 6 for natural minor, then harmonic and melodic, Phrygian and Dorian flavours then before you know if you've justified all 12 notes as passing tones 😂👍
    Then you come full circle and start thinking in intervals and targeting chord tones using triads and inversions and stop thinking in scales anyway. 😂

  • @3kingsofblues
    @3kingsofblues Před rokem +4

    Awesome lesson thanks Rhett. When I started playing there were two songs that made me notice something that sounded “different” which of course turned out to be that they were playing major, not minor, pentatonic. The first was call me the breeze by lynyrd skynyrd. Other was live version of sweet home Alabama (from the live at the fox album), with its solos in many different positions. Loved learning those songs.

  • @miketarr5621
    @miketarr5621 Před rokem +1

    my hack approach has always been that if it's a rock-n-roll song I play the pentatonic shapes starting from the root, but if the song's a ballad, I play it off the relative minor. Learning how to play each chord in at least a few different places on the neck starts to really make it all make sense as well.

  • @Raja_Sahin
    @Raja_Sahin Před rokem +4

      That’s not a Strat tho, is it? I mean, the design is 100% Strat, but what’s the brand on the headstock? I can’t really read it.

    • @123qwe-qn5qc
      @123qwe-qn5qc Před 10 měsíci

      ​@@jpetes9046 It's a stratocaster mate. Stratocaster is a guitar design/model made by leo fender. Anyone can produce strat style guitar with a few modification and alterations or maybe exact copy at all on the design. The guitar on the vid was a Shabat(guitar brand) Stratocaster.

    • @pianoman00712
      @pianoman00712 Před měsícem

      If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend experimenting with your tone knob. I usually have it on 7 or 8 if I'm using the bridge pickup, maybe even lower if I'm playing a single coil pickup like a Strat or Tele.

  • @nedim_guitar
    @nedim_guitar Před rokem

    There is an easy way to explain in general the move from major to relative minor: Every time you want to move to the relative minor, just go to the minor 6th chord of your key.
    Learning your diatonic chords and knowing the I-ii-iii-IV-V-vi-vii° is important. And focusing on the number if the notes in scales rather than the letters makes it much easier to apply in every scale. Your major 3rd can be any note, so the easiest way is to remember just where the major 3rd is in relation to the root. That's how Tom Quayle does it, it's a really good tip.

    I think the pentatonic works so well because our human brains like the simplicity and home base feeling it gives. However, all the flavors and colors added are what make up the complex variations that keep the music interesting.

  • @drfirewater
    @drfirewater Před rokem

    There is a simple way for people learning to transition the neck. If your comfortable with the minor pentatonic scale and regular major shape your root of the scale fret 1 + fret 2 are your relative positions. Example Am pentatonic your first two notes are A and C Am relive to C major.
    Then you can develop some licks and riffs to help you transition from that area further up or down as needed.

I've been doing my best to become more than a strum-along guitar player lately, and I've found it funny that you can buy big books of chords and scales and learn all the notes up and down the fretboard... but playing most pop music, from the origins of rock and roll to current, is pentatonic scales and passing notes.

    Hi Rhett, awesome video! Great lesson, excellent job! 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻 I really appreciate you breaking these details down and making them so simple and easy to understand / apply. This for me was pretty much everything I’ve ever wanted to know about playing lead or soloing, it was very helpful.
    Quick question - By using all the different extra tones or different scale degrees, flats, sharps, etc., do you in effect end up playing the different Modes of the major scale? I imagine so, because the modes are basically just different from each other by just one small change either flat / sharp in each successive mode, right? Hopefully I’m making the right musical connections in my understanding 😆😆 Thanks again! 🙏🏻
    Also side note, I love your playing style on your leads / solos when you’re playing in a band setting 👍🏻👍🏻🎸🎸
