It is not as hard as you think. Get a good teacher and you will learn it very quickly with a couple lessons. Thanks for your comment!

[@krishrathod7638]

Can f#m pentatonic work on this track?

[@pocketjamtracks]

The F# minor and A major scales share the same notes, because they are relatives, so yes there is no difference ;)

[@alekschizhma3433]

I thought this note scheme ( minor pentatonic) only works with A minor ?

[@pocketjamtracks]

When you play the blues, you usually use more the minor pentatonic even if the blues is in a major key. You can use the major pentatonic on the tonic chord and the minor pentatonic on the rest of them, it works very well. The diagram has the minor pentatonic with one added note from the major pentatonic, the major third wich works very well on the A chord. Hope this answers your question :)

[@alekschizhma3433]

Thank you very much for explanation. It is very useful for me as for beginner)

[@davidthornburg8116]

Or a C Diminished !

[@aaronfairless8165]

Ok I'm new again, but when i was younger i was told to learn the pentatonic scale. How do I apply the shapes I was told to learn with the key that these backing tracks are in? This probably sounds real stupid but I'm really trying to learn I just need a lil kick in the right direction.

[@spacex7356]

​@@aaronfairless8165 I'm new at this too, just started learning a week ago. I just find the right key that the songs are in, then I search for the pentatonic scale of that key (minor/major) and then start playing those notes that are in the pentatonic scale, and try to make a good solo out of it Then you can explore more frets, use a little of techniques (like hammer on, slide...) Hope that helps!

[@TheBigSquidAZ]

Can anyone explain how to read all that on screen ???

[@mrbojangles311]

On top is the chord progression, on bottom is every note on the fretboard that falls into A minor blues scale. Although this was listed as major blues, both will work here

[@TheBigSquidAZ]

​@mrbojangles311 so if I'm reading it correctly it's A7 for 4 bars. Then D7 for 2 A7 for 2 then E7D7A7E7 then it repeats?

[@pocketjamtracks]

That's exactly it 👌

[@TheBigSquidAZ]

@@pocketjamtracks THANK YOU

[@roblogosz1]

this is A minor

[@pocketjamtracks]

This is a major blues progression in A, but in the blues you can improvise with the minor pentatonic over a major tonality. However that doesn't make the song minor, it's just an option for improvisation. And that's why I put the diagram for the minor pentatonic with an added major 3rd to fit the A7 chord.

[@donknotts5625]

Yes its in a major

[@rodrigosorna7700]

@@pocketjamtracksthank you! I do t know that 😄

[@verifybinary9109]
