PERFECT PAIRS
Breaking down the pentatonic scale into two-string shapes
In this new column for Guitar World, Dweezil Zappa demonstrates how to visualize the fretboard as three sets of two adjacent strings. - Hudba
I must have watched hundreds of hours of guitar stuff on CZcams and that was the most mind blowing four minutes I've seen yet. I already have the most possible respect for Dweezil, and his dad Frank especially, but Dweezil just went up a notch in my book.
agreed
Juicy Jones HQ I thought the same thing. You know how much money I've spent on trying learn what he just told me. Cool and practical.
I totally agree,it's almost like getting the keys to the highway, A great way to exercise your fingers and get a great new sound in your head at the same time. I wish there was some way that we could let Dweezil know just how influential his lessons are.
One of the Best Pentatonic Lessons Ever!!! New Thoughts on string theory for me
I've been playing the guitar for years. This 4 minute lesson was and eye opener. What a great video
What a great teacher / guitarist in his own right. No comparisons needed.
All the thousands of guitar video's i've watched and i've never heard of anyone thinking like this before. Must be something his genius father recognized.
David Tancon the only other place I’ve heard of this concept was in Michael Hoffman’s Serious Guitar videos he put out on his CZcams to supplement his book
David Tancon his dad was a boob
why his father and not him?
@@guysmalley Dude shut the fuck up.
he is even better than his father was, which is hard to believe. to Frank's credit he was a better song writer, no to mention a conductor. Dweezil and his band are well worth seeing if you get the chance.
Dweezil is one of the coolest guys in Rock'n'Roll, always generous with his time and knowledge, I wanna have him over for a BBQ ;)
Burnt weeny sandwich?
@@PaulJonesy LOL What?
@@PaulJonesy WTF?!? 😂
Paul was making a Frank Zappa reference.
Eric Dolphy Memorial BBQ?
Single best lesson on pentatonics and how to "get out of the box" that I have ever seen, thank you Dweezil and GW for this KILLER lesson!!!
Dweezil has a great way of teaching
He's such a great guy, right after his concert he would talk to everyone who wished to talk to him so friendly, so personable he'd talk to you as if you were a long time friend. He didn't have to but he stayed and talked in such a carefree way you'd forget he had so many projects going on at the time and was I'm sure on a tight schedule.
Love Dweezil !!.............You can see his soul trhough his eyes !!
I never thought I'd learn something new about the pentatonic scale and yet here we are. Awesome.
Holy shit. I wish someone had shown me this 30 freakin' years ago! Thanks Dweezil. Damn son, still wrapping my head around this....how have I never figured that out!?!?!? Honestly the best lesson I have ever seen on youtube or in real life even. I'm quite blown away.
I think it is neglect of picking attention and mechanics.
Focusing on that, after years of fingering focus and repetitive muscle memory habits, forces you to rethink everything, think ahead, AND learning and playing unfamiliar scalar fingering patterns.
It was Troy Grady's "cracking the code" series that did it for the 35 year wall I hit after about five years of playing covers.
The last five years I've been improvising and shredding, with freedom and melody, at whatever speed works for the chords.
The greats are fluent with both hands.
Check out Troy's channel if you've not heard of it.
I guarantee, you will be thrilled you did.
✌💨
I've been playing for a while and this is groundbreaking for me..
I've never even thought about this before.
Dweezil is such an amazing teacher and a great player and awesome human being..
🤘🤘
I've always thought of the guitar in terms of 2 sets of 3 strings. But changing that into 3 sets of 2 strings really changes things a lot!
I can only imagine what having weekly lessons with Dweezil could do!
And just like that... I can play all over the neck.
Best guitar lesson I've ever had.
Dweezil, you are the Man.
That was fabulous info. Plllllease have Dweezil do more lessons!
It doesnt get any better than having yo as a guitar teacher. Short and precise. Learned something.
Very cool lesson Dweeil ❤️ I love how music and math go together.
after watching this im more convinced than ever that other "teachers" dont actually teach anything useful. there always seems to be huge gaps that never get filled in. its been a while since i practiced guitar because i kinda gave up but this explained something i never knew i needed explained
I've been Playing for Decades .. Watched Thousands of Hours of Guitar Videos .. Like Other Comments Here .. I'm Simply Blown Away in 4 Minutes with Dweezil .. There isn't Another Single Note Lesson More Valuable IMHO .. This 2 String Pattern Visualization is Pure Genius .. and Ends the Lesson with a Challenge Riff .. Thank You DZ and GW
So it's the same......but different. haha! Always love how Dweezil breaks it down.
Zappa is awesome. Love him.
Holy shit this guy knows the board so well
He is so LIKE his dad! \m/
Very useful! Thanks Dweezil!
Brilliant. Simple yet profound. Thank you, brother Dweezil
Simple.....genius...... love it
Amazing run at the end 🤘🏽
Wow. That was an eye-opener
Just when I think I’ve seen every visualisation scheme. That’s really neat, thanks DZ.
Gotta love Dweezil.
thanks Dweezil excellent lesson
Great lesson Dweezil thanks for your gift💃🎶

Download mandatory!
Must watch often!
That is a very interesting way to look at it. Very helpful I think.
Brilliant!
Frickin genious , thankyou
Dweezill
Excellent! 3 sets of 2 strings! Dweezil is so talented! Rock On!
SO COOL!! Thanks Dweezil---that was awesome, easy to understand and totally useful!!
Those licks at the end were super rad!
Great job explaining that!
Awesome lesson I've never thought about it that way.
Thanks, Dweezil.
i have never look at any scale that way and this changed everything
fantastic! thanks!
Awesome!
Thanks Dweez!
Its good to know this stuff
Thanks deeez I really appreciate that lesson. I suppose I have known that for years just never thought of it like that.
That was great. I’ve never seen that before. Thanks for the lesson.
Thanks Dweezil. Huge fan. Caught your choice cuts tour in Grants Pass, Oregon. Y'all killed it, even tho the band was too sick for meet and greet after. Thanks for keeping your dad's music so alive. Cheers! (Great lesson too!)
Wow, that’s blowed my mind...
been playing pentatonic for 20 years and i just learned something... thanks
Wow that was extremely helpful. Thank you.
I just learned something related on JP...Awesome!! Stars must be alignment...love learning Music; love 🎸! Thx DZ and GW for expanding/inspiring further!!
possibly the best guitar player alive. great teacher, too.
You were born Awesome!! Thank you for sharing 😄
omg, mind blown! thanks for the lesson!
Thanks for that. Most helpful
Great lesson on seeing the Pentatonic pattern - will watch out for more from Dweezil on GW and will share on Guitars of Vintage site!
Thanks! Great info.
That was great!
Dweez bringing the secret decoder ring. Great stuff.
Hey Dweezil this was very cool thank you. I can sure use this!
Cool lesson
What is the word for when a person feels respect, gratitude, and the pleasure of learning all at the same time?
Very cool, brother!
That was fun, entertaining and informative.
You're a great guy and a great teacher.
Good to see you doin' your thing.
Thanks for the lesson and hope to see you playing out sometime soon.
Peace.
λυκας
neat trick, I like it!
wow that's great thanks
Very helpful
really helped me out thanks
Dweezil is a master.
Thank you!
Oh and I loved Confessions... it was a great album.
Ending was Killer!
Great!
As a guitar player you shift through a lot of useless stuff. Spending hours of your time with little improvement. Then you find small pieces along the way that make a big difference. This is one of those things. This really opened up the neck for me. It’s a lot easier to slide down the neck to hit a certain note and know what else will work in that location!
The Dweez has the grease talk about legacy still keeping it real gonna go play guitar now Thanks man Hotcha !!!
👍 Great lesson, got an "A-ha!" moment.
Yes !
You look sooo much like Dad;)Beautiful master on guitar like him too.
Something that doesn't suck. A lesson from Dweezil.
Great lesson! I subscribed, thanks
I want to belatedly thank Frank Zappa for proving me wrong about something, having grown up with and loved Frank's music. When Dweezil was first born and I learned of the name Frank had given his son, I winced because I thought that giving him such an unusual name would have given him problems in life, possibly subjecting him to ridicule. But Frank has proven my concerns to be unfounded. Dweezil has emerged as a real mensch, a wonderful musician, and an original voice.
Mind blown.....
Right on
GOD Bless You 🎸🎸🎸
So obvious and yet it had kinda eluded me...thx Zappa!
You have to remember that Dweezil's guitar teacher has been Jean Marc Belkadi one of the best guitarist of all time.
I like the look of that headstock on that SG. It's not in the best light but I'm seeing a vintage blonde color which looks cool with the black truss rod cover.
Fantastic lesson.
Great way of uncomplicating, explaining and demonstrating it in a easy to comprehend manner.
Best lesson I ever saw on this topic.
I wonder if you Dad taught you that?
I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't though, because you're a superb musician yourself and it could totally be your approach.
Either way, that's the way to teach a lesson well
I only play with the guitar once in awhile now when something stirs me up, so now I'm practicing the horns parts (on the guitar) for the Chicago Beginnings; I somehow imagine it as an interesting twist. I have a long way to go to get back, it looks like those fingers are always running and sliding up and down the frets. I see that this is exactly what I'm stumbling around with, thanks, man.
Whoa 🤯
Its rare to have a lightbulb moment, this is one. I had to watch this a couple times to get it, think of 5 shapes from form one to the next octave, I was being lazy and thinking there were only 3. I didnt quite catch that the first time around. Cool how they go horizontal and can also be stacked for the pattern.
Tanx dude!👍 😯 🍻 🎉
Wow!💣
WOOOOOOOOW
Damn. Will you please share more!
Dude just blew my mind over the walls O_O
