A lesson on the pentatonic scale and the difference between the major and minor version.
39,000th. and great instructions. Love it love it. Helpin me with my trombone
on the second part why does he call it a g dorian at the end when he says its a d minor pentatnic scale? (im only 14 just trying to learn a little)
@1KOOLRIFF You could have saved a lot of time had you just asked the goddamn question.
@nick5269
Correct me if i’m wrong….You see, I play guitar as a main instrument, and I plan on going to Berklee ( Ability isn’t my issue, I just need to learn my theory)…anyway, on Piano major scales all look different…however, on a guitar if i were to play an F major scale’s shape…To play an F# Major scale, I stay in the same shape and move to an F#, correct? I know about tetrachords, so I THINK i’m right, I’m just not positive.
Sorry for such a long question =P
@spo224 actually 2 frets. 1 fret up would be C# major
i have a question if i play a c major scale and move one fret up and played it again would that be considerd a d major scale
Thats a pentatonic scale with minor passing notes
perfecto, man. Good. I like it.
His ain’t bad, where is your’s?
what bout bluse scale
constructive criticism:
try and sound like you want to make a good instructional video.
yes, you flat the 3rd and 7th scale degrees in any key to get dorian…or you can just think of it as a minor scale with a major 6th.
dorian and pentatonic is the best it sounds good fir blues and all the good stuff!!!
i’m pretty sure you flat the 3rd and 7th for the dorian mode no matter what key ur in because i’m looking at a paper i have right now that is showing me the G dorian and it has the 3rd and 7th flat. so i’m pretty sure u do it no matter what key ur in
do you always flat the 3rd and 7s or only in the case of D major because it has two sharps?
nice video. I love improvising using the Dorian to me its how jazz should sound…
Do I spy a photo of Django Reinhardt in the backround?
well that pt me off dorians
thx men
Very nice! Clear, and instructive. Thank you
Cool, easy to follow lesson. I rely too much on the minor pentatonic. Throwing in the 2nd and 6th will add some color and they are easy enough to add by the looks of it. Thanks!
Thank you soo much
Nice pants.
I love using the pentatonic scale. It’s so easy to move fast and it has such a quick range of strings.
clearest lesson eva!!! ty bro
why do we need the 5th of A for the second lead pattern? and is the second lead pattern the same as the first lead pattern, which started off with the root F sharpe?
am kinda confused with that bit,otherwise,great vid!
thanks great vid realy helped me, really simple but hard to come by information
dude thank you so much ive been looking for how to play scales and you helped a lot
great teacher need a better camera though
Soo… A major scale is f # minor??? Right?? I don’t do theory i solo and improvise by ear
im a bit stupid coz i only just learnt the difference after 5 years ! i no stupid but when i solo to backing tracks , when they say minor , the minor scales sound awful but then if i play a major scale along to the minor backing track it sounds awsum. is it just a wrong listing or is it me being a noob to scales ? and sorry if ive alredy posted this ! my youtube is glitchy

he wasnt staring with the root note of the scale, this is why he did that.
Thanks Aaron, you explained the difference between major and minor and their relative fingerings very clearly. I have always wondered what the difference was, and now I know, so again I thank you.
