[@noahpalmer8178]

Dude this just unlocked that thing in my brain that I haven’t been able to find yet, thanks for this I’m having so much fun!

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

That's so awesome to hear! ☺

[@adriaellen]

This is the most helpful video I have ever seen. Wow, I'll be watching this again for it to really sink in. Awesome, thanks!!!!

[@maxwellpike9059]

Agree 100%

[@Keninoz1]

Good to see someone explaining how an Am Pentatonic scale comes from a C major scale. I find the easiest & fastest way to work it out is to count up three from A. This is C. Therefore, the relative major of Am is C major. To find the minor, I count up six letters from C ie C, D, E, F, G, A. Am is therefore the relative minor of C major. There are no sharps or flats in the key of C which makes this one simple, but this has to be taken into consideration with the other keys. A Circle of Fifths chart will show how this works.

I love the way you teach. It's great for the level I'm at.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Great to hear :)

[@mojee685]

❤❤❤❤ love it thanks mate

[@starrywisdom]

Thank you Mr Clarke! This is exactly what I was studying last night.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

You're very welcome :)

[@JamesMcKenna-Jmcks]

I've been creating solos for past few months and uploading my progress, Each one takes me around 2 hours, Hopefully I will one day improvise on these tracks and make them better. Am still learning & want to be so much better but happy with my progress.... To everyone on this journey... Don't stop believing....

[@bonefixer100]

Amazing video! Thanks for the education.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

My pleasure!

[@thatbusinesstrainer1414]

That is the best lesson this I've ever seen...you have a great way fo explaining things!

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Thank you so much :)

[@razzking]

The best most concise explanation of Maj & Min pentatonic and their applications for soloing that I have seen on KZbin. I've only seen about 1,000 ha ha. All by obviously good and knowledgeable guitar players but, alas they are tediously long winded and confuse the issue with their need to hear themselves talk. Thank you

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

I really appreciate that. Thank you!

[@DevonRichardsCreates]

Thanks! I really appreciate the way you taught this. It represents a major breakthrough for me!

[@removechan10298]

damn you make clear 100x more about music theory in 10 minute than 100 youtube videos by mouthbreathing idiots , i don't even know what they are talking about. I am an engineer that works on highly complex systems, even using harmonic dampening and other things, but there's so many bad videos on youtube that just fill your mind with trash, this was ACTUAL TRUTH AND ENLIGHTENMENT! really great, thanks

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Really appreciate that. I do my best to make things as clear as possible.

[@teleplayer7081]

Excellent explanation of this, and showing it in action!! Its exactly the information and a foundation we need to start learning lead. Thank you so very much for your videos ❤ Greatly appreciated!!!!❤

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Awesome! I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for checking out the video :)

[@pete1003]

Really informative. The only problem I have is looking at the fret s upside down to the left instead of right side up to the right

[@stevepage6443]

That’s so much for the cheat sheet Andrew much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

You're welcome!

Andrew,Thank u so much❤❤❤

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

You're very welcome!

[@adrielthomas5080]

Andrew is really the most underrated gifted teacher out there. Really appreciate your videos. Keep up the good work🫶🏼. P.S: Perhaps a video on mini chords such as triads for playing church music can be a suggestion 😅

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Thank you very much! And that's a good suggestion. I'll try to put something together :)

[@pryzmband]

[@shibleylaw]

I had a Lake Placid blue Jaguar back in 1969. Beach Boys often played them.

[@ErnieLeblanc]

Trial and Error is Never a Bad Idea.🎯

[@DavidMorley-i2x]

I’m a big fan of you lesson really good .but question about triads .are diminished considered minor and augmented major? Thank you again

[@Dievinvlogs131]

Love from India

[@mabblers]

This is pretty cool. What determines what pentatonic to pick? You're using the same shape over all the examples

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

All pentatonic shapes within a key contain the same notes. So you can use any shape you want as long as it's in the correct key. In this case, I just used the position #1 pentatonic shape for everything. But it would work the same for position 2, 3, etc.

[@mabblers]

@@andrewclarkeguitar Thank you. That really. I'm try to get those shapes to sound like music now. 6 months in on my guitar journey, I'm working on caged chords, and getting all the major scales to memory. There's so much to learn with the guitar. I'm trying to get to the point of hearing a song and jamming that song or playing along with it. Great lesson.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

@@mabblers that’s awesome! Sounds like you’re making great progress already. And you’re focused on the right things.

[@peterpillay6712]

i really have a problem trying to improvise---this is a good lesson. if you have any other lessons please mail me...and the cost.

[@CalebMcCalla]

so how do you know what pentatonic shape to play for the scale?

[@QweAsd-zm8lp]

When can we use the major scale instead of the Pentatonic scale?

[@yammonger3171]

Wowwwww🥰😎🎤✈️🎸🤙

[@Okami45510]

Your gonna need to be creative and have a lot of experience with soloes to have references and create one in the fly

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

True! But it's important to start working on developing that skill as early as possible.

[@libanganlang867]

[@HonestlyHolistic]

[@andrenitoiu8799]

What if the key is like F Dorian

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

It works the same way as relative major/minor keys work. If we use mode terminology, C Ionian (major key) is the same as A Aeolian (minor key). The other modes just start at different points in the major scale. C Ionian, has the same notes as D Dorian, E Phrygian, F Lydian, G Mixolydian, A Aeolian, and B Locrian. Each one just starts at a different point in the scale. So for something like F Dorian, the method taught in this video would give you the key of Eb major because the 2nd note of the Eb major scale is F -- giving us F Dorian. Now, there are more (and slightly better) ways to approach and improvise with modes, but this method will still give you the "right answer."

[@Gkids8]

Make something so amazing look effortless???????

[@frankball8378]

😄👌👍

[@DouglasMcLaughlin-kq7hk]

I just play all of Paganini's 24 Caprices over every body else, as loud as possible.

[@PhilipMECI]

Please Stop flipping the board. Thanks Bro

[@carldyke5725]

I found this video interesting. 👍🏼 However, the "free download" really isn't 100% free, granted no money, but you want email addresses and people have to "register/open an account" on YOUR web site to actually receive the "free download". I'm not interested in joining your web site. 👎🏼

[@micgin]

Bro chill, content creators need to eat too. Most guitar KZbinrs stay in business by selling premium courses, KZbin views just aren’t enough. Just be glad his KZbin videos are complete in and of themselves and not behind a paywall.

[@noanshere]

Huh, you just need to login with an email or continue with google. Teachable is a platform for content creators to share academic knowledge respective to their own niche. Ive once enrolled for a Beginner Blender 3d course which used the same platform, they even grant you an affiliate status if you recruit others to use your link in enrolling. It's a win win both to both consumers and producers. Plus I've got to defend Andrew, he actually puts out free stuff that really matters in guitar learning. It's in a format that's easy to digest and pleasing to the eyes, unlike books that have convoluted phrasing and unpalatable visual aids. Dont be a hater lmao

[@jeanetteaurelio4207]

​agree

[@frubin6611]

If youre whining and you can't even share you email with the quality free content you are getting in his free youtube channel well then you can go find other channels. We do appreciate his work, lots of aha moment here for us and we are willing to support and I'll buy more of his products. Maybe you're too advanced already so this is not for you. Hope you'll find what's best for u.👎
