Diagonal major pentatonics: how you should be practising on your scales

[@sarazimmerman5181]

Best instructor on KZbin.

[@SecularSpinach]

I 2nd that!

[@meadish]

@@SecularSpinachI agree, but didn't want to spoil the symbolism of the 69 likes, so made this comment instead.

[@mediumdun18]

So many online and well meaning instructors are just lick machines and seem to think that a sprinkling of theory will chase us away . Adrian is the perfect combo of technique and theory that enables us , on our own, to make our way around the fretboard and aspire to sound like the master

[@Mark70609]

Quite original and unique.

[@aardvark77]

Yes, please include a lesson on the minor pentatonic 2+3 scale pattern!

[@SecularSpinach]

Hey Adrian, i can say I'm sure not the best guitar player around - but then again i honestly don't want to be 'flashy' or a 'shredder' or the like... I just want to play music that feels good, with a little taste and style... You've bought my playing leaps and bounds towards that goal - TY for what you do bro!

[@annunacky4463]

Your solos are not boring. They are meant for instructing! Thanks for that.

[@brandonburks4172]

I think he meant that part in quotes. As in: One of the questions I get is (people saying) “why do my solos sound so boring.

[@lolobuggah2670]

He’s saying his students have asked him why their solos are boring. He’s not saying his own solos are boring. Also, even though his solos in these videos are meant for instruction they’re also meant to be pieces of music that are enjoyable to listen to.

[@Edward-MTBKR]

Adrian, you are a very skilled Teacher. Articulate, to the point, with quality material.

[@el0blaino]

Wonderful lesson! Immediately useful. Thank you for another great one, Adrian.

[@PetefromSouthOz]

Another great Lesson Adrian. I'd like to see a similar Minor Pentatonic Vid. Cheers Pete

[@uberjam-sam8512]

Outstanding overview of sliding major scale pentatonics with super useful licks tyvm

[@hardyshmardy]

Nice one, and yes. please, do a minor pentatonic one 😁

[@bobavola3290]

've been watching Adrian for years...along with thousands of tutorials and I must admit what a great way he has of explaining what could be complicated (anything) and simplifying in methods that un-complicate.....get allot of miles out this one thank you be well bob

[@stoneglad]

Your lessons continue to get better and are some of the most useful and helpful ones on KZbin! Keep up the great work!

[@letsplayguitar2051]

Thanks for another good lesson/idea session. I don't comment often, but I really appreciate your efforts. Thank you!!!

[@kpettersen9316]

It's like you've read my mind Today I have been using your Stormy Monday tutorial to learn the classic blues but have been struggling to solo in the G major scale as I have been stuck in the minor / blues scale and wanted to add some major sounding licks . This has been a great help to get that major sound. Love your lessons and teaching style the practical and theory mix is top draw Thanks for all your work over the years to put such a comprehensive library of lessons just a click away. Back to Stormy Monday then after getting some of this under my fingers 👍😁

[@SecularSpinach]

Cool! I just searched up Adrian's Stormy Monday vid. It's AWESOME! I'm gonna work that one up next. Thanks man..

[@meeno_the_man]

Always love these primers. The basics stay critical. Would love to see an updated look at mixing minor and major pentatonics. Keep up the fine work.

[@billwaller4993]

For a brilliant example of major pentatonic playing, take a listen to the Allman Brothers track, "Blue Sky". Then use Adrian's scale patterns in E and play along! Great lesson as always by the way!

[@dasmith1962]

Another brilliant lesson Adrian, Thanks again for sharing your Knowledge

[@DrewTurock]

Very awesome that you're teaching this! My guitar teacher taught me these scales in the late '80s and I've made more use out of these than anything else in all of the years of playing since. They are so easy to learn and yet sound fantastic! Everyone should study this. Even for me, these are a lot of new licks I can learn to freshen up my playing! Thank you!!

[@martynspooner5822]

A really helpful lesson thankyou.

[@Andre_tc]

I've seen a few of your videos now and I think you explain things in a very practical (and soothing) way. I just subscribed to your channel and I will also be looking for older videos to improve my guitar playing. Thank you for your work.

[@DaveBroTube]

Great video, Adrian. Another idea for a "next" video would be to extend this major pentatonic lesson to playing over the changes of a chord progression. It's already sort of two thirds of the way there: in the key of G, use the G maj pentatonic over the I chord, the C maj pentatonic over the IV chord, and (new material) use D maj pentatonic over the V chord (and adding/subbing in the b7 of the D maj scale to get that dominant sound). Just a thought to take this to the next step.

[@hollnagelc]

That first 5 notes of G major is the start of “Wish You Were Here” Pink Floyd just realized that practicing this!

[@iantaylor827]

Great lesson Adrian. I"m learning bluegrass guitar amongst other things and this is really useful for that too. Thanks a lot.

[@rickcahill7453]

More pentatonic scales plese! Another great video Adrian!

[@jimauter1075]

[@olaftheblack4543]

Intro gave me Allman Brother vibes!

[@robertsilver5130]

Fantastic lesson, Adrian. (Comment for the algorithm. But, really, this is extremely useful stuff).

[@andrewhenderson9474]

Great Lesson Adrian

[@peterlenardon46]

So happy to have learned this, vaguely disappointed I’m only finding/figuring it now. That’s life, I guess.

[@ianwalsh9552]

Missed last wk. .easy the best guitar tuition on social media.

[@sirtogii5216]

Great ideas Adrian, cheers

[@nelsonw2096]

I’ve been looking for some help in the diagonal scale department. Thanks!

[@alanmcgowan8767]

Great! Thanks Adrian

[@dakistle]

I've never seen a Trent before. Looks killer!

[@jacquesjosep8813]

[@eohippusone]

Really helpful, thx!

[@blackdow3469]

great video from a great teacher,i really enjoy your videos,could you make a version of "solidarity" by angelic upstarts,is a great song and there isnt any lesson,thanks and greets from spain

[@DerMensch1]

Putting in my request again for a tutorial on Love and Rockets’ Holiday on the Moon, please, Adrian. I know you’ve gotta like that with your taste (which is great, obviously). Thanks!

[@sllmrog]

Love and Rockets, good stuff

[@ianharwell7500]

Hi Adrian, I know you'll tackle anything if it's interesting and challenging. How about Kenny Burrell's "I want My Baby Back" from 1967 - jazz-pop. Have a think. Thanks for the careful tuition

[@ferraro9905]

Adrian, Would love to see you do a video on Billy Duffys playing from The Cult a lot like you did with the McGeo h 5:33 Videos. 5:19 5:22 Thanks. FERRARO 5:24 5:27

[@cuellar23]

Great one!

[@JohnBlair-p2z]

great video.

[@chronichols2551]

Lack of other social media usage earns you a sub

[@Dreyno]

The only “wide range” I was aware of was the pickups from 70s Fenders.

[@Fender420]

Cool Guitar

[@mickproper1969]

😍 Trent Model 1 ❤

[@jackfrey47]

If you add the 4th you get the Dickie Betts scale

[@andrewhenderson9474]

Can follow up this lesson with a song example thatuses this 🙏

[@Delphic1]

Let It Be by the Beatles…solo

[@jefsut]

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day When it's cold outside I've got the month of May

[@Delphic1]

Thats how you can always recognize the major pentatonic scale.

[@SecularSpinach]

What happens when June 1st rolls around?

[@glendoggett9670]

Intro solo is reminiscent of The Eagles, not sure Felder or Walsh?

[@lamper2]
