Great idea! You are venturing into the fusion sphere. Just add some chromatic passing notes and you're there!
Thanks for the comment! 🎸🎶🔥🎶🎸
Don’t hate the scale, hate the player😊! Another great one, Charlie!
Thanks Vlad!!! One of the best players I know!!!!
Thanks so much! I found this to be quite helpful.
Awesome - thanks for taking time to let me know!! 🎸🔥🎶🔥🎸
Exactly what I needed, Charlie! Great video by a great teacher! Thank you!
That is awesome Carolyn!!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
Very Cool! Thanks!
My pleasure! Thanks for commenting!!!
I like this very much! To me it seems I can find the combos on the circle of 5ths. Is this correct??
Progression of G-A-D but we're using A-Bm-Em pent, why is that? How to determine that? Not sure how I'd figure this out for a diff progression.
This is a great question and sorry if I didn't explain it well in the video because it's really what the video is about... This progression is A mixolydian... the G chord gives it away that we're actually in the parent key of D. Using that combination of pentatonic scales (major of the root, minor up a 2nd and a 5th) gives you the notes of mixolydian mode. Now you might think "why don't I just play A mixolydian then" - and the answer is playing those different pentatonic scales makes you break the notes up differently and come up with different sounding licks and lines
Charlie - great video glad I stumbled upon it. what if we just play the Em, F#m, and Bm minor pentatonics alongside chord changes? Would that sound interesting?
VJ thanks for commenting! Sure you could do that!
Cool trick, but how do we use these scales to play over the chord changes?
Love this video. Is there a formula to determine the correct mix of minor and pentatonic scales which combine to encompass the major scale. At this point i am uncertain how to do this in other keys.
in this example, which is the key of D, the Em scale is the 2 minor (ii), the Bm scale is the 6 minor (vi) and A scale is the 5 major (V). So just use the ii, vi and V pentatonic scales of whatever key you're playing in. If you arrange the notes of the combination of all those scales in order, you'll see they make up the entire major scale of the key you're playing in.
Seems like the combination of Emin Pent, Bmin Pent and Amaj is the A Mixolydian or Dmaj scale?
Exactly right…but by breaking it up in the different pentatonics you get different combinations of intervals than just running A mixo

good video
