You lost me around the five minute mark. I think I need to sign up and get on the waiting list 🫣
@@HandyLdo it!
@@michaelvarney. Can’t say no to a Michael, that’s my name too 👍🏽🫡
Signed up to the waiting list. Thank you for the effort you put in mate.
Brandon what pic do you use? I'm obsessed with the Jazz 3. I haven't been able to switch since I found them.
8 min after a 42 min video drops I can say with confidence that the whole video is exactly what I needed to get off the cigarrets.
Instructions unclear: purchased cigarettes
Papa Brandon showing us some love with a true long form video. Appreciate it!
Dude this is fucking amazing! I've never seen this explained and as comprehensive as this. I can't wait to get stuck in, thank you!
17 minutes in and you gave me a musical epiphany. I may not be ready for stage 4 but I now understand a lot more and had some questions answered. Seeing the scale names as you played really made it click
Thank you really needed this!
I can finally understand the link between scale names and how the relate to the CAGED system. Like minor is the G shape form and major is the E shape form. This will really help when learning from different people.
Man we don’t appreciate you enough this was amazing
What you're doing is so useful, thank you and keep going no matter how
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS AND YOU’RE VIDEOS THEY HELP SOOO MUCH
This vid is super rich in knowledge. Thank you so much.
Thank you, i've always struggled with guitar vid explanations but this is so comprehensive and clear!
Love this video and the effort you put in! Thanks so much!
Much appreciation for the thoroughness 🙏. Great lesson !!
Very informative Brandon. I like the way you describe your shapes. I figured out why in like 2 seconds lol. But it's actually pretty genius. Keep up the awesome work man
I'm geeked about this!
Such a great lesson!!
Thank you
This is what I needed for a break through
Thank You so much
love watching ur videos brandon 🙏🙏❤❤
Joining the waiting list tonight. Great lesson.
This video is just pure gold.
Truly the best pentatonic masterclass.
thank you so much for this video❤
This is actually quite fucking nice.
Having a name for each pentatonic key helps quite a lot in identifying and memorizing even if they are "unofficial"
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge
This gonna be a lot helpful to me
glad your doing long form content
dude you are a legend youtube needed this
Thanks bro, u did such great lessons. This answer a lot of questions of improvement.
WOW, this is GREAT! Thanks
Very thanks, Master Brandon, directly to the point. Thanks for vanish the mist of my undiscipline self in the Pentatonic topic. Thanks for the wisdom and the effort it took to make this quintessencial video.
Awesome lesson,cheers.
Your awsome man I used to teach guitar in a music shop in the early 00's and this is helping me remember everything I lost a pinky but it doesn't slow me down
you're my life saver man hopefully i get this done under a month
Been looking for something l can comprehend. Thanx
Thanks for sharin all this for free.. you're a great teacher
This is exactly what I needed. Now I know how to efficiently structure practice. One of these days it’ll come in handy 😅
This was exactly what i needed to unstuck my playing. Thank you, you are the best teacher in this platform.
Thank you so much Sir Brandon for sharing this, verry Useful Lesson, Very Helpful to us who can't afford paying Guitar Lessons .Keep It Up. Got Bless and More Power To Your Channel. More Guitar Lessons Videos to come.
Thank you 😊
Hooah!!!! Guitar treat!!
Thanks man. This was great. I've been playing since November and I knew the shapes because of an excerise I found on CZcams that uses all 5 shapes but I never knew what they were called and i knew the shapes but hat was it. This was very informative. You're the man Brandon.
Also, that thing about starting in an upstroke was extremely helpful. I don't think anyone I've seen has covered that and I'm noticing my picking is faster already. Right. Now time for a 🚬 break. 💪💪
Hi. I’m a 40 year old stoner dude that is very well versed in in all 5 pentatonic positions. For a long time.
I approve of your modal names, with extreme conviction ⚡️
This whole lesson was great and thank you boss 🥋🖤
I love this guy...
best pentatonic video i have ever seen, keep posting useful videos like this because are video like this that are really useful for people trying to learn the pentatonic
Yeah that would be nice but it’s obvious he is doing longer videos and a mid year sign up to boost his sales. People don’t want to pay for a year long guitar course that costs like $2000, that’s ridiculous
@@Robert-sn6vkBullshit they don’t. He’s selling out his course each run. $2k for a year of excellent guitar lessons is not unreasonable by any means. Even 20 years ago it was common to see lessons for one hour per week going at $50 a lesson. You do the math. The man is providing a valuable service, it’s not ridiculous just because you are one of the people who can’t, or chooses not to afford it.
@@ronsin9490 Dude, opinions are personal, and mine stands on its own merit. Debating online won’t sway my stance, especially when it’s laced with assumptions about my finances based off of nothing but what you’ve conjured up in your head. Let’s focus on constructive dialogue rather than undermining each other’s views, see if you can try to ACT like more of an adult next time you comment
@@Robert-sn6vk What a pretentious retort. I gave two options for your financial situation, one of which being your choice to not pay for his course. Since you’re so butthurt over an opinion other than your own maybe you should get off the cigarettes and get off the channel. If you can’t argue reason with anything other than based statements to try and make yourself sound intelligent then you are neither adult nor offering constructive anything.
Your initial comment was an attack on the creators motives based on nothing but assumptions of your own. Also based on your own assumptions of his financial situations which are based on nothing but what you’ve conjured up in your head. Whining about cost while clearly knowing nothing about the value of what that cost covers. Next time you want to offer an opinion have some facts and have some tact and you won’t get called for bullshit. I personally don’t care if I sway your opinion or not. You should heed your own advice when commenting on other people’s comments instead of being a hypocritical ass.
The guy works his ass off. The fact that you get any of his knowledge for free is your own luck. Yes he’s marketing himself but he deserves to make money. The value of the course is very reasonable. Whether you can afford it or not is entirely up to you. But don’t act like the only reason you don’t is because it’s ridiculous to think someone would pay for it.
Nice video, I hope you have FOOKIN NICE DAY!!
ITS BACK!!
Bro this released at the perfect time, I just had my first jam session and choked up when trying to improvise over chords lol
This helped me so much! Thanks, for picking up guitar and not cigarettes!
I use all 5 shapes at G A C D and E then keep going to the 22nd fret. This puts me on all CAGED notes on the guitar. I time myself from start to finish. It’s teaching me the shapes, how to play without looking and I can jam Am Em and C backing tracks all over the neck. Ya never stop learning. I enjoy your lessons, a little brash at times. 😎
The brashness compensates for the Canadian-ness. Like ice hockey does. 😊
Got my subscription
I would love a video like this for a different important concept, like the diatonic major scale and its modes.
I couldn't keep up.... But I ain't giving up.... Exactly what I needed to increase speed, accuracy and build muscle memory 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Brandon we want more long lessons videos❤
this is a great video for stubborn players like myself
I’m going to have to watch this numerous times. I got lost quickly.
I saw this yesterday
Good info in this video and explained well…. Dead ass about the whole “you’re not cool so embrace being uncool and will thus be much cooler” thing I said earlier. Humility = ACCURATE self appraisal
Awesome stuff, thank you. Some really useful, pragmatic steps to learning these scales. I also really appreciate the naming system you have implemeted, totally makes sense but what about the Aeolian and Locrian parts? Also, since I'm here... One suggested improvement to your vids would be to highlight the root notes of the scales on the tabulature. Thanks.
This is a superb video Brandon Thanks❤
I hope to see more long ass videos like this
Probably one on RELATIVE MINOR!!
(DAY8)
I finished it and I'm officially a G now
yeah this is gonna take a few takes or 500 lol but thank you for this video.
i got some work to do
Let’s fucking go
Fantástico
The way a teacher once explained modes to me was very simple. If I recall, he showed how playing the same scale (starting on a different note of the scale, OVER a drone note) allows you to hear the typical sound of that mode. So probably he played a drone C, and I played the C major scale over the top, first starting on root note C to hear the Ionian mode, then the same C scale but starting on the D note, all this playing over the drone C... it was like that. You really get to hear what the character of the mode is, and it's very understandable.
I suppose the next step would be not to play a drone C but play a song IN C major, and then play a mode scale around that to change up the mood of the same song. (Probably... it was a long time ago, I forgot yo!)
4:53 - That slide is the best part of the video. Ha!
That's a sweet Ultra Tele.
I’m 94 years old and have been playing guitar for 93 years and I have never broken out of the minor pentatonic and now I am sweeping Hungarian scale and two hand tapping. Incredible.
Maybe if you have 3 or 4 more years left on this wild planet you could learn tornado of souls solo before you pass
Great Playing Mate, can you please explain what intervals your modal shapes contain as I think they might be missing the key element of said mode
Cool lesson appreciate the attention to detail. I had questions on the positions names you gave. Why are you giving the 5 positions modal names rather than 1-5? I get the 5 positions start on each of the 5 notes of any given root which in case becomes the given mode (scale degree) but that probably overwhelms/confuses a lot of beginners and loses em at level 1 yanno? Since the mode names are used to describe the intervallic structure of the positions relative to the root note, but they don't change the fact that you're playing/getting the major pentatonic scale tonality, so what was the reason for that? Didn’t catch where you’d explain why you did. Thanks!
🤘
“Inside picking”. Sounds like boogers. Great video bro
4:53 metalhead habits \m/
Hey Brandon, I came to this video after watching your other one on "mistakes intermediate guitarists" make and you mention how one should use italian grip over hendrix grip when playing lead lines. However, I see you are using Hendrix grip quite a lot when playing these exercises. Can you explain why that is the case?
Just a note for anyone who might be struggling with getting the first drills up to speed. You should practice it starting on an upstroke just make sure you are using upward pick slanting (which Brandon clearly is). If you are unable to do that you can use downward pick slanting just make sure you start on a downstroke at that point. I agree with Brandon that starting on an upstroke is better for those examples as you end up getting better economy of motion, but most of the students I’ve had that are beginners/intermediate players have a tough time starting any exercise on an upstroke. For anyone who is unaware what i mean by pick slanting check out Troy Grady’s channel he really is the authority on explaining that.
On the Level 1 ? Is it similar to The CAGED system because the way you do it makes me wanna know what you are thinking. Please lmk what other solutions or videos I should look into also please. And thank you ❤
I got on the waiting list for your course but never got an email
Today, your age reveal became one step closer.
What is the most effective exercise to strengthen the little finger. 2. Make good combination for index and little finger?😫
U should name that PRS ol' Warmy
Can you talk about the circle of fifths and how can it be applied to soloing
Can the next video be about how chords are named?
there's one part for me where the peny hasn't dropped yet, it might be the cigarettes. When soloing over a progression using the pentatonic, do you use the scale for the chord being played per bar? becasue if I'm for example in Am, then an Em is played, it has a B that's not in the Am Pentatonic scale. This might be a dumb question
Shit, dude I just noticed your X ring for the first time. What years did you go to St. FX? I was there 1997-1999. Also,!was Skip Beckwith still teaching when you were there?
Best lesson ever. But got to have a cigarrete after being pissed off by the fact that English aint my firsrt language.
if you mess up dont just keep going to you get it right , learn the shape really slowly playing the correct note every time , then build speed up , or your mess it up just like this lad . slow every thing down its not a race
2 min. found the answer to why my descending is always faster than my ascending 🤦
As a beginner, what video of yours should I watch first
This
You are as good as fuck man👏👏👏
I've seen where Pentatontic shape 1 is typically called the "minor Pentatonic" and Pentatonic shape 2 is typically called the "major Pentatonic", but I've never seen shapes 3, 4, and 5 referred to as the "Dorian Pentatonic", the "Phyrigian Pentatonic" and the "Mixolydian Pentatonic" shapes, and often wondered why they were left nameless. So even though you say you informally named them, I'm glad to see they are finally recognized like their siblings!
Still unclear, however, why @3:00 you call, what most know to be Pentatonic shape #3, the Dorian Pentatonic shape. What's so 'Dorian' about it?
Similarly, the Mixolydian mode always has a flat 7th but a Major Pentatonic scale always drops the (4th and) 7th, so the 7th isn't even there!?!
I lost my cigarettes because of this!
2 min 15 seconds in…. Stopping here. I’ll be back! Must practice.
I dont get the other shapes with modal names, when to me they are all in one key
Thing is if you get this down, the other 2 notes are easy to find.
Bro wtf, 2 mins in the video and i always improved my picking speed by 40%. MAN
I just sold all my guitars and bought a kazoo.
Chain smoking menthols while I watch this
Why go major 2nd, perfect 5th etc in different shapes?
B Dorian at 23:30 ya done messed up. Lol. You started on the 5 of A or the 4 of B so the E 7th fret a string. E Is Mixo to A. You landed on Ionian. A 7TH fret D string If I'm wrong can you please explain?
Begginer here, How does the key affect the development of the scale?
Also, why is i.e the G major pentatonic called G minor?
