    I could fall asleep listening to you play those scales it's so relaxing. I'm just starting to play jazz guitar. I've been playing rock and folk for 15 yrs and I want to try something that sounds better. WISH ME LUCK

      It's not Marvin Gaye. It's The Temptations song, "My Girl" written by Smokey Robinson! It's probably the most recognizable lick it the world!

      @@moeb4348 Smoke on The Water, Satisfaction, Start Me Up, Honky Tonk Woman, Chuck Berry riffs, the lead break on Heartbreak Hotel, What'd I Say, Great Balls of Fire, Taxman, Stayin' Alice .... and the list goes on...so what are they, the least recognizable licks? Can never understand the over enthusiasm of the "best this, best that" acolytes who post their self satisfied exclusionary judgments.

      I know, right?!? It's these intricate Shorter lines from the mid 60s -- Blue Note era, like Speak No Evil and his solos. How did he wrap his head around angular melodies like that? Pentatonics are part of the answer.

    Hi! Do you have a course that shows the theory behind it? I would love to take that course so I know what pentatonic to use in any situation

    LOL. Just yelled out, 'no way' when I saw you move up on each chord. Too simple...probably why I never figured it out.

    I've played through this video two or three times and Mark there's something that you don't really talk about. you talk about the b flat pentatonic over G and I can see the rational there, it gives you all the sharp and flat 9s and 5ths , and you talk about using A minor pentatonic over D minor ( it's basically the same thing) but you don't really address why you're playing B minor pentatonic over the C major chord and you seem to basically ignore that and tell us to choose other Pentatonic scales over C. B minor pentatonic over C will give us a sort of Lydian sound right?
    I would like to hear some more rational from you about why the b minor pentatonic works over C major

      Yes -- the parts 4-5-6 of this blog post go in detail with the analysis and scale choices:
      www.jazzguitarlessons.net/blog/jazz-guitar-pentatonics
      It's pretty simple in the case of Bm pentatonic used over a C major chord.
      The notes of Bm penta: B D E F# A
      The notes of the C major scale: C D E F G A B ...
      Thus, using the Bm pentatonic to improvise lines over a Cmaj chord will yield the chord degrees 7, 9, 3, #4 and 6.
      This is all explained in the detail on the post (link above)
