DON'T LEARN THE MODES! Do this instead | Embellish Pentatonic Scales | Guitar Lesson

The table showing which notes you add for the mode "flavor" was a really great visual - thank you. Excellent lesson.

[@joemacedomusic]

Thanks, glad you found it useful

[@atutahi]

Absolutely underrated method for actually conceptualising and utilising prior learning

[@joemacedomusic]

I agree man, thanks

As someone who's trying to get better at improvisation, I must say this is very helpful ! I got this video recommended to me by YT as well as the one for tension/release. Short videos (I mean, I want to practice playing, not watch a 45mn video on all modes and learn nothing haha), clear and cool concepts, ACTUALLY useful stuff that I will use right away. That is awesome content, thank you !

[@joemacedomusic]

Thanks man, really glad it helped you. Always try to be as practical as possible with my advice

[@n8h44n]

Bro this is unbelievably helpful, I feel like I understand how to use the fretboard now.. thank you for the great lessons & musical context as always

[@joemacedomusic]

Awesome to hear man. You're welcome

[@frankgallagher2374]

Love this Joe. I like to use Aeolian to practice hammer ons and pull offs, and it’s exactly that added 2nd and flatted 6th that I enjoy trilling with. All while feeling comfortably at home in the pentatonic. Thanks ❤

[@joemacedomusic]

Awesome man, you clearly know your way around a fretboard.

[@frankgallagher2374]

@@joemacedomusic thanks for the encouragement. Even better is triiling in the exotic phrygian, on the b2nd and b6th.

[@JESOBERANES]

This is the way!

[@joemacedomusic]

A lot of my students find this way of thinking of things really helpful!

[@KevinAReynolds_Author]

Excellent - just what the guitar doctor ordered!

[@joemacedomusic]

Thanks man

[@guitarbug234]

Good lessons appreciate your time. Just curious is there a risk of road rash (leather jacket ) while playing guitar? Lol looks good though!

[@joemacedomusic]

Thanks man. And can't say I have experienced that yet, I'll keep you posted though
