    These are really great...

I also appreciate Lee being willing to mess things up on camera. It's helpful to see all of it... :-)

    One a very positive note. Having a music education, sometimes the easiest things go by me as I would always play a B7 on a tune in E. My knowledge has handcuffed me creatively. Playing E Bm A and jamming major licks with a flat 7 (D) was an eye opening experience. Sometimes something that sounds good isn't always the "correct" theory thing to do. Nice choice of progression Pete. I've subscribed and you guys have a new fan. Pedal challenges, playing, and general entertainment. Love it fellas!

    When this clicks in Lee’s head he will take off as a player. Already his single note articulation and vibrato are excellent. Most self taught guitarists music theory is 5 years behind their playing ability and at some point you have to go backwards to move forwards. Lee is blessed to be surrounded by many great musicians. Please make the most of this. When I was trying to break out of the one minor pentatonic scale all I had was a pair of headphones and an audio cassette player. Guitar playing is more about the journey than the destination and finally More really isn’t More.

      As a self taught player I can't disagree. I ended up messing my left wrist (tendon damage and such) so basically needed to relearn playing. Ended up shifting my focus to theory as I recouped. Now I deal with having a theory level well over what I physically can do now haha

    It's why the yesteryear guitarists were so good, they just listened to the music and kept lifting the needle and replaying the record until they found the sound. All ears! I think Lee's just got to give Pete the pepper pot and not interrupt until he's tried to fully explain what he's trying too say :-0 The music tells you where it wants to go to resolve itself.

    One more anicdote. My 1st year studying Jazz we were playing Autumn leaves or something and I was getting used to playing 7th chords soloing and a guy next to me was playing bang on. I go "Hey dude that was great! What did you do?" He says "I'm just playing arpeggios of each chord over the changes." He would play the chord tones up then go to the next closest note if the next chord and go down if went up the last one and sometimes go back and forth etc. Not just straight up each, but up a few notes then down a couple then up 3 and down 2 then up 4.... Shit like that... It was mind blowing. If Lee plays the 3 chord arrpegios in 12th position then 9th position, the map will appear and the world is his... Whenever I play now I see the 5 shapes and chord tones I'm playing over. Life is good. Then just focus on Rhythm and phrasing and have fun...

    After watching this a few more times I have to say "Wahey Lee, way to pull your pants down" so to speak on the internet, you ARE a brave man to want to learn more. This is the stage we all get to, wanting to learn more, play better and find that hearing, playing and being a little more educated about all of that IS a GOOD thing! You go Captain!!

  • @zeefour
    @zeefour Pƙed 6 lety +2

    Captain Lee and Rob were the main inspiration behind learning guitar. Although rob could shred your face off, he is so knowledgable and can break it down.
    Lee may not be on Robs level but certainly has the talent to find tone, vibrato and to make the guitar sing.
    These lessons have clearly been invaluable to Lee and they will also help me too.
    I learn slowly partly because I want to play with tone all the time, I don't always want to learn songs or scales.
    But knowing that with some effort and some determination I'll become a good a player as Lee.
    Cheers to the folks at Andertons who, for years, have provided top tier guitar content and have probably inspired loads of people like myself to get into guitar.
    Cheers.

  • @patrickfitzgerald2861
    @patrickfitzgerald2861 Pƙed 6 lety +4

    Lee, I think your most important breakthrough here is learning that "penta" means five. There are only five notes in any pentatonic scale. The familiar E minor pentatonic (five note) pattern that starts on the twelfth fret contains all of the E major pentatonic notes if you start the same pattern on the ninth fret. Where I think you are getting in to a bit of trouble is when you start adding in additional "blues scale" notes when you're supposed to be playing the straight major pentatonic notes, and they don't sound right. Please have Pete explain in some detail when and how you can move from major, minor and blues scales depending on which chord is being played at the time. Oh yes, and don't get discouraged!

  • @moestock1058
    @moestock1058 Pƙed 6 lety +1

    I recall the revelation when I realized the minor pentatonic was just a subset of the full minor scale, and the notes are the same as a major scale just starting on a different note. I'm still confused and trying to make sense of these modes and such but it is a lot of frustrating fun.

    Lee - The constant relationship is that the minor third of Dflat is an E note. If you play a standard minor pentatonic Dflat, starting on the minor third (three frets up from the Dflat) then you are playing an E major pentatonic.

    For beginners - the first Pentatonic shape - if you place your pinky on the A and play the scale shape it is the A major Pentatonic, if you put your index finger on the A and play the shape - it is the minor Pentatonic. No? Add some 1st and thirds of the other chords in the progression and voila.

  • @dominicijavier1575
    @dominicijavier1575 Pƙed 2 lety

    to make it simple, you can play the Db minor shape but end your run on the E. you basically played in E major. It's all the same notes. what matters is which note you end in hence target notes are important. I get the captain's question on why learning both scales if they are the same notes anyway. Well you can learn both scales to unlock more sections of the neck. As Pete was saying they're all the same notes. Target notes are the money. As Pete was trying to say, ending on a target note defines the mood. Play a Db minor shape but end on E over an E major backing track makes it happy despite being a minor shape. Play Db minor shape and end on a D will make it sound darker but it's not wrong. It's a flavor thing.

    I know he's said over and over that he doesn't want to learn modes and all of that. But it really is just the simplest way to know what you can and can't play over whatever key. It tells you every note on the fret board that is in key, and then you just play around with it for long enough that you figure out licks from those notes.
    Then you can add passing notes and all the rest, but that foundation is the best way imo.

  • @NowakP
    @NowakP Pƙed 6 lety +2

    I'm loving the very Richie Kotzen-esque backing track :D
    I think the method of learning 'mode scales' is a kind of a roundabout way of getting to the gist of the whole concept. I believe it's far better to think about the chords than the scales themselves (this is where the whole CAGED thing comes in handy). If you have just your regular minor or major chord, you can pick at least 3 usable notes just by using root, 3rd and 5th and then you can add on notes as you see fit or 'hear' them fitting (in fact the simpler the chord, the more different sounding notes you can play - the more 'sophisticated' chords trap you into using either a major or a minor 7th for example).
    It's even easier in rock music, because most of the stuff is in a single key. You can chart out a major/minor scale for each chord and it will give you a good pool of notes you can use over the chord progression. Some of the notes will be shared between all chords and there will be one or two odd notes that will fit over a particular chord more than the others, those are the 'colour' notes that will make you sound sophisticated when you use them over the right chord :)

  • @el34superlead
    @el34superlead Pƙed 6 lety

    Lee for learning purpose if you think of the the scales as positions it may help. So if you are playing Am pentatonic with root on fret 5, we call that Am Pentatonic 1st position. If you move up to the second note of the pentatonic (3rd note of minor scale) and play a Major pentatonic pattern think of that as Pentatonic 2nd position. Both these position have the same 5 notes. We then have three more scale shapes to learn position 3,4 and 5 all share the same 5 notes. Notice there are 5 positions each position rooting on one of the 5 notes in the Am pentatonic scale.
    BTW almost all your leads on all your videos you played on start in P5 slide through P1 and end up on P2.

    What Pete was trying to say, is that the same assembly of notes may change their voice depending on the context of the backing. So, you can play the same shape in the same place, but the resolving notes will alter, and along with it the feel. Happy, sad etc.

  • @landon.cunningham
    @landon.cunningham Pƙed 6 lety

    Thanks so much for doing this guys. I think its the start of something fresh with your channel and I really like the approach of teaching one person and the rest of us looking on. I think Lee represents a lot of guitar players at his level. Pete is incredible but I can tell he's having trouble articulating what he's doing.
    I feel like what you (Pete) are not telling (Lee) is simply that the major scale is the basis of all scales - basically relate everything to that. Lee - if you are reading - the minor scale is simply a mode of the major scale.
    The ah ha moment I had is when you learn how to harmonize the scale and it gives you all the chords. Then I had an ah ha again when I realized that all the chords in the harmonized scale were always made up of the notes (the same notes) in the scale of that key.
    I also feel like Lee is trying to put together the why of relatives and same notes and so on, and what Pete is not saying is that the difference is they ARE the same notes but they start from a different point in the MAJOR scale but with respect to the same intervals. What I mean by that is this - pick a major scale like C and we know it's relative minor is Am. Why? Because if you map out the intervals of the C major scale then keep respect to those intervals but start playing it beginning on the A - then you get Am.
    BOOM.
    Watch this and explain it like this - that's when I finally understood czcams.com/video/VksFM8fSfNc/video.html

    Lee, I feel your pain. This kind of aaargh feeling is where I’ve been for years.

    Thank goodness for these videos. I might stay sane during the coronavirus outbreak and get a bit better at the guitar.

    Captain Lee - listen to John Mayer's solo at the end of "Gravity" (2007 Chicago Crossroads Festival version) where he goes back and forth between E major pentatonic and the G minor pentatonic (song is in G major) - I think that's an example of what you're looking for - and it's awesome!

    Lee, don't worry if you sound worse after a few theory lessons. This is exactly like golf when you learn to hold a club properly, it makes you play terrible for a few times but when you stick to it you get much better!

    Entertaining video as always :) Cap, the reason you're getting confused is because you're mixing up your scales. Firstly, the major and minor pentatonic are the same shape, not the same notes, unless it's the relative. Secondly, the G major pentatonic is the E minor pentatonic, because they're relative scales, meaning they have the same notes. But that does not mean that E major pentatonics relative the Db minor pentatonic has the same notes as the E minor. It's all very confusing when it's spoken out. What you need to do is look at the fret board and change the root notes with your index and your pinky finger. eg If you play at the 12th fret 6th string with your index finger, and play the minor pentatonic you have the Em pentatonic. But, if you start the scale with your pinky instead of your index finger - playing the exact same scale, you'll notice that the root note is the G, making it the G major pentatonic. Thats how I learnt, by playing through Guns n Roses version of Knocking on Heavens Door. Similarly, with this fantastic track that Mr Collin Honore recorded, The Emaj pentatonic is the Dbm pentatonic, use the same trick with the index and pinky finger. Hope that helps.

    The Captain surprised me with some of the knowledge he's missing, because his playing really is beautiful. Good ear. A couple more lessons and he's gonna be on his way to Danish Pete status. 👍

  • @pa4tim
    @pa4tim Pƙed 6 lety

    What helped me was playing over non-blues backingtracks (from Fusion to arabic) and not thinking about what notes to play but , like Pete tells, listening if it sounds OK. Play, feel and do not think to much.

  • @millershane71
    @millershane71 Pƙed 6 lety

    This is why I always think it comes back to the voice of the song and the specific structure of the chords and the complexity of music theory while I know it's valuable and would love to understand it, it sometimes seems like "wrong" notes in certain song/chord arrangements is what makes the song right or unique. I don't know. The struggle is real! At the end of the day what makes playing truly enjoyable to me is playing what sounds cool whether I know if it's wrong or right or what scale it is in so I go on neglecting to tackle the theory side all the time in the back of my mind wondering or wishing I could have both, but not willing to go there because it's not fun I guess. So I get what I can from videos like this and hope I take something from it that will subconsciously creep into my feeble advancement of the ever escaping magic to just play what should be played by the unwritten law of universal rock guitar nirvana.

    I want start saying that The Captain Lee started to build better solos. But those lessons helped me to figure out what I want to play. So this lessons are effective also for me, and maybe others. So if you don't like Pete's style of teaching it doesn't make him a bad teacher c:

    Really helpful, guys. Lee, this is so relatable - I've had a rough idea about scale shapes for years, but have applied them pretty randomly. Had to make some notes and watch it a few times, but think I'm on the verge of a breakthrough too! Thanks guys. Sweet playing Pete!

    Captain learning that penta means five!

  • @leolapulga6784
    @leolapulga6784 Pƙed 6 lety

    Captain, if you use the first minor penta shape for the D flat (8th fret and pinky on the 12th), it's the same notes as the major penta for E starting from the pinky finger! So you can play it over a E major progression! And that always works with these intervals! (e.g. Em penta = G major penta) Maybe that helps! ;)
    Also the pentatonic works on a minor! It did on me when I started... :P

    Diatonic Major 7 note scale, Ionian is the master scale. The Blues scale is a 6 note scale with the 'blue note' in the mix. The Pentatonic scale is a 5 note scale that is actually based on the minor scale, because it resides in that minor position. The sample song has a non-diatonic chord. The B minor chord. This introduced a variety of possibilities. Just learn the Ionian diatonic scale and then each derivative of it will become second nature. Learn to spot the non-diatonics, because they are key change opportunities. "How Music Works" is a 4 part BBC series, highly recommended search. Love ya Lee.
