I don't comment often, but I have watched several of Chris Sherland's videos. While I am far from being an expert guitarist, I do have a musical background with several instruments. Chris has an approach to teaching theory in a way that is so clear, concise and informative that he makes his lessons truly applicable. On top of that his delivery is very calming...almost zen-like. I really appreciate all the insight provided and more importantly your selfless approach to sharing this knowledge. Thank you, Chris!

Chris - thanks for the shoutout about the great Curtis Mayfield. I suspect many of today’s younger guitarists are unfamiliar with Mr. Mayfield’s wonderful playing and songwriting, although they’ve surely heard of Jimi Hendrix. I saw them both perform live in NYC - Jimi at Madison Square Garden and Curtis at the Felt Forum. Both were magnificent in their own way. I appreciate your straightforward, clear approach to teaching and playing. Also appreciate your mentioning Cornell Dupree. Cheers, Mate.

Great lesson! I have found that my timing and rhythm in general has greatly improved since I started incorporating rhythm and lead into the same measures and such. It also, makes me think and work more, which has the long term affect of vastly improving my ability to improvise. On top of that, it keeps me aware of the current chords that are playing, which I used to completely miss. Not to mention figuring out creative ways to get back in "the box" timing-wise. Thanks!

Yup, that's a thing. The great news it that it's totally a developed skill, so the only thing between you and success is time and effort. Often when I come across a new piece I run it with triads, up and down the neck, and say the changes out loud. This helps the info sort of "seep in" to my brain a bit. I find it easier to tack after doing this.

Thanks for a great lesson! It's something I've been working to resolve over the last few months - how to blend rhythm and lead. From looking into the topic, I've seen there are MANY ways to do it. I've chosen to stick to 2 ways for myself. The first way is going from bigger chords down to double stops (using double stops as melody lines). Another way is reducing the chords to double stops, then playing double stops and single note runs together...this works well for the same way that the first way does - it finds a way to make the chords and melody lines not too different from each other. I've seen Eddie Van Halen go from full chords down to single notes seamlessly, but I think for most people it sounds much more fluid going from either full chords to double stops, or from double stops to single notes. Ofcourse you can also slowly transition within the same song, from full chords, down to double stops, then down to single notes. I've noticed two general tips that help when mixing rhythm and lead (however you choose to do it), is to stay hyperaware of the beat, and to think about ways to mute unwanted strings ringing out when transitioning from chords to double stops or single notes. Thanks again for the lesson, it's given me some new insights!

By the way, I love that you describe everything you did in terms of the scale degree and the chord being played. So much more useful in understanding how and why you’re creating the noise you’re creating than fret numbers! So many other online instructors explain almost exclusively in fret numbers, it’s hard to connect that with practical use, and WAY harder to actually take something from it. Thanks for the awesome lesson Chris! As always.

Hey Chris, great video, this is my ultimate goal for guitar. This was clear, but my one question is how to know what pentatonic scale shape to throw on the chord? You said use the corresponding scale, but not sure what that means. For example, when you went to the A at one point, you used box 3, but I would have thought to use box 5 (the box you used for the C#m chord). My thinking is because in the key of E, I’m using box 2, and sliding down to the 5th fret area brings me to box 5, landing with my first finger on the fourth fret.

You'll always be safe using the major pent. over any major chord, and the min pentatonic over any minor chord. The actual "positions" don't really matter that much as long as you can find them and play them. Maj = maj, and min = min. That's the simple rule.

This is a great lesson, however can you combine the E minor pentatonic scale with the Emajor scale over an E major chord. It seems to work but I don't know why as far as theory goes. Do you do This?
@curiousguitarist
@curiousguitarist 3 жыл бұрын
That example works best over a Dominant 7 chord. The minor pentatonic scale can work over a straight major chord but it introduces both the flat 3rd (minor indicator) and the flat 7th. So ultimately these two notes force a very minor tonality over the major chord. Where as the dominant chord has the flat 7th in it already and the flat 3rd simply becomes a “blue” note, especially when slightly raised. Hope that helps! Love the curiosity!

are you using the notes from the E pentatonic or are you switching scales???

Mostly pentatonic scales that match the chords. The full TAB explains it pretty clearly, but just use the pentatonic scale with the same name as the chord you’re planing.

You are so right on Adolfo! I guess I've been disconnected from the classical guitar world for a long time. But now that I think of it, acoustic "Rag" style and Jazz "Chord/Melody" styles also use the core concept of blending. Thanks for being here!
