    What a great lesson again, Chris. As usual, you explain things eloquently, understandably, and at a good, laid back pace. I also want to mention that your quiet, relaxed manner of presenting and your focus on open-mindedness towards looking at things from various perspectives really helps set a good mood and vibe for learning and understanding.

    Wow, Chris, that third pattern is something I've never sussed out and it's so convenient to know. Thank you so much! 🏅
    I originally learned it everywhere by breaking it down into the 5 notes and moving that pattern everywhere: 3 major seconds, and 2 minor thirds.

    @davidhallowell3457 Před rokem

    Another uniquely insightful and helpful lesson. Your approach to the *learning* process is refreshing.
    Especially powerful for me is your final piece where you stay on the same string pair. Putting that together with triads (which touch a two string pentatonic channel, but which bring you onto other strings) is a little jewel that I’d never quite noticed, even with many years of playing. The result is like fluid caged with a pentatonic escalator.
    Thanks for sparking really useful curiosity.

    Chris Sherland’s channel is the best discovery of the past 18 months. The way he explains practical theory, scales, triads etc just resonates immediately with me. This lesson in particular has allowed me visualise the pentatonic over two strings and it’s now less stressful moving up and down the neck between patterns. Thank you.

    Another great video! As I opened up to know all five positions of the minor pentatonic I noticed that there were two minor 3rds and three whole steps to complete each cycle from first to fifth position . I never thought to start with a root note and translate it to different positions in two string patterns. Such a great explanation, and thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us!

    Chris, once again an excellent lesson. It is fascinating taking what you know bout the 5 pentatonic box shapes and see from another direction how they transpose and why they work as they do. A lesson on visualizing the relationship of the relative minor major boxes and how they transpose and relate to the cage system/chord shapes would be great.

    Reminds me of Jon Finn’s old fretboard logic book. Awareness of those linear patterns is very helpful, but they also rotate horizontally around the neck, which really helped me too. Thanks Ed for reinforcing that I need to stay aware and enhance practice sessions.
