A Smart Way to Learn the Minor Pentatonic Scale (Open G)

[@3cardmonty602]

Frampton Comes Alive - one of the greatest live albums ever.

[@pauldavies2139]

Thank you so much. Really easy to follow lesson. I'm new to open tuning. What a great tone. Keep on sliding Paul

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

Glad it was helpful! Cheers, Paul!

Für jeden slide Anfänger ein muss DANKE

[@5s4l1p1fcw]

Great lesson and so is the background music just after the beginning of the video. So beautiful!

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

Glad you liked the lesson and the backing music. Very kind of you to notice that 🙏

[@robhead22]

Beautiful!! Thank you!

[@Ins.outs_of_Audio]

Thanks for your awesome video! Learned what to do!

[@paulmuaddib1]

Fun lesson. I did have to alter it a little for using slide on my ring finger.

[@alexgrishin8294]

Great lesson. Simple explanation! Thank you, John

thank you

Love your videos, but sometimes the easiest thing is hard to make sense of. If you say fret number as well as note, you're making sense to those of us who don't know theory + am starting with open tunings without having learned the conventional tuning.

[@nicolen.9642]

Thanks for this tasty blues! 🎶🎶🎶

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

My pleasure!

[@danielthemaniel7934]

I love the open G tuning, gut recently I've been lowering the second string to B flat for open G minor. Also makes the G minor pentatonic scale easier on that string since you can start from open B flat.

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

Very cool!

[@OoKizyoO]

As a new blues player tabs on screen would help me alot, I do find some of your videos hard to follow and I find myself watching what your fingers are doing more than anything, but awesome lesson overall 🤍

[@jackfriday31]

Been playing slide (keyword: playing lol) for over 10 years, guitar for about 20. That being said, I do believe I just got yanked out of a major slide rut by some guy that laughs like he's in on something we're not or maybe just a little nervous on camera, although God knows Why, with playing like this. 🤘🏻 You make that resonator Reeeally resonate lol And thx for the yank outta my rut 🤙🏻

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

That is awesome to here, Jack! Thanks for sharing that. That's a win in my book my friend. Play On!

[@delportefran3711]

Really great!!! Yt brought me here lookin for a « well, well, well » Ben Harper guitar lesson but that worse it! Nice lesson! About BH it might be possible he plays that song on FCFFCF guitar tuned… loved to hear you about that! Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

[@MattH1874]

Hi. I'm new to playing slide. And new to your channel. Is there a way to get a tab for this? Thank you. Such a good lesson. It's just hard for me to take it all in.

[@CC-qb9sm]

Enjoyed this one, thank you 🤠

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

Happy to hear that CC!

[@petegalloway2466]

Lovin the lesson! And I think it’s made Peter Frampton look Alive, too. 🙏🏻👍🏻🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@holdencaulfield4416]

More blues slide 👌

Thank you for watching and commenting. I am glad you liked it, Ray!

[@mikew8622]

Sweet guitar!

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

Thanks, Mike!

[@waynegram8907]

BLUES GUITAR INSTITUTE, try to make a vid lesson about using your fingers BEHIND the slide playing behind the slide to get those SWAMP Blues tones

[@bartburger5067]

Great lesson, thanks! One question: do you forget about scale 'boxes' all together playing in open tunings? So only horizontal scales?

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

good question. No, you will still play the scale and/or chord tones in position across the strings but in open g/open d the boxes are quite different. I did a lesson recently on "hot spots" for open tunings that simplifies the "vertical" positional playing but it's really based on the scale/chord tones in that position. hope that helps. very good question. Cheers!

[@robertgwinn8406]

Cool...

[@rebeccasims6875]

I'm just learning. Whats the easiest way to play A# in open G? Having a tough time. (Never played guitar before.) Catching on well except for the minor notes

[@5s4l1p1fcw]

That background music between 0:27 and 1:27 is so beautiful. Do you have a lesson on that? Thanks John

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

Thanks! I do but not on KZbin. It's inside my membership called Major Scale in Action. It was a follow up study to a scale intensive study. Thanks again.

[@5s4l1p1fcw]

@@BluesGuitarInstitute thank you so much. I'll check it out

[@Texas1836Band]

Love your lessons and I just picked up the same guitar GT PBS Deluxe. However, buying this guitar used, I got a huge bonus, the guitar had a bridge pickup! Is this normal or is this an add on aftermarket?

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

I'm not sure about that. I bought mine used too but no pickup and no signs that there ever was one. I don't think I remember a pickup in the specs on Gold Tone's site but it's been a while since I looked. Nice bonus! I do love the sound of an amp'd resonator.

[@danz2509]

Bill Paxton 😂

[@tucsonan]

What slide are you using?

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

It's the Ariel Posen signature from rock slide

[@luigicalzone1558]

Man, in the beginning it sounds like your are plugged in. Fantastic sound. Don‘t get this from my resonator. How do i get this sound?

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

I added an amp simulator in my post production for a little fun. I don’t have a pickup on this one but my next one will have a pickup :)

[@luigicalzone1558]

Almost sold my resonator 😅 Golden tone 👍🏽

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

@@luigicalzone1558 hahah noooo!

[@CC-qb9sm]

@@BluesGuitarInstitute hey John, have you decided yet whether you’ll go National or Mule? I’m definitely getting the pickup on mine as well. I’m still torn between cutaway or no cutaway on my Mule.

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

@@CC-qb9sm No, haven't decided but I think it's becoming more of a longer-term goal now :(

[@bungus49]

Just got back from the doctor; it's confirmed-I've got the blues.

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

There’s no cure.

[@michaelwaynemartin3291]

That's bad news.

[@CC-qb9sm]

Give it to me straight doctor, I can take it.

[@alancandy6080]

I also went to the doctor about my addiction to open tunings. He said: ‘You’re on the slide.’

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

@@alancandy6080 💥

[@FezzantPlucka]

Why play Gm pentatonic over G (major)? Surely you would play Em pentatonic?

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

There's alot of mixing major and minor in the blues. Em pentatonic would be the Gmajor pentatonic scale and would sound nice too but has a different character.

[@SuzieKew]

Just because the guitar is tuned to open G, doesn't mean that's the only key to play in.

[@MaTTheWish]

PRO Lessons...

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

Thanks! Cheers!

Bro you are the guitar playing Bill Paxton

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

I've heard 👍

[@BluesHeavy]

@@BluesGuitarInstitute great lesson by the way

[@dhewkins]

I wish you would say the fret number rather than the note

[@MrBarrynicholas]

Tab would have been good.

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

Hey, understand. The tab for this (and 99% of my videos) is available to my members at mybgi.co - Thanks for watching!
