its January eleventh 2021, and thank God someone finally taught me what a pentatonic even is

[@ossiehalvorson7702]

It's.. literally in the name. Penta coming from the Greek word for five, tonic coming from tone, ergo five tones, or five notes.

[@bigjab420]

The 2 biggest things that "unlocked" the neck to me were: learning the 5 positions of the minor pentatonic, and that the major pentatonic was the same shapes, just 3 frets back. From there I started filling in the blanks with full scale notes in my improvising, kind-of teaching myself the full scales without knowing it. Now I have to sound good over chord changes that one scale doesn't really fit over, playing into the chords instead, it's a bit more daunting to me.

[@Schodboyblves]

I rarely comment on videos but I must say, you are doing a great job. As a guitar player with very little music theory knowledge, this is a great way to just start learning theory without thinking it's all about a bunch of boring notes on paper which you have to know by heart. So, your videos gave me motivation to go deeper, and I'm sure it will improve my (and, of course, other people's) guitar playing and understaning guitar fretboard in general. So thank you and keep up the good work :) P.S. I admire how many great videos you manage to upload. You da man!

[@MusicisWin]

Thanks a lot my friend, I appreciate it!

[@ky9999]

Nice Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you researched - Riddleagan Blossoming Solo Remedy (search on google)? It is a great one off product for mastering guitar scales minus the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cooworker finally got great results with it.

[@jesselucero4581]

This is an incredible lesson, I've gone over these principles many times but for whatever reason the way you teach and break it down helped it finally click. Thank You!

[@seanobrien9364]

just wanted to say im happy i found your channel! The way you teach guitar is amazing and thorough. Other teacher i find explain what there doing but kinda expect you to know what your doing already. Growing up only playing music by ear has got me preety far, but once i joined a band I relized i really dont know how to "play" the guitar. Watching your video has made me relize its possible to learn what the notes are, and what scales are. You also inspired me to really dedicate myself to learning. So I thank you and I look foward to watching and learning from all your videos! -Peace

[@Ezpzlmnsqez]

Your vids have really been helping me improve as a guitarist mate, much appreciated.

[@daveshepherd7582]

Im only 55 yrs old and learning the guitar is on my bucket list for sure. Wrapping my head around this stuff is going to be a challenge but one im committed to doing. Thanks for the vid

[@danielzuend1859]

Dave Shepherd I'm 22. I started when I was 21 because I saw a guy who started learning at 66 and he was no pro but definitely could play songs and stuff. Showed me it's never too late to begin learning music.

[@Twice_Marvel]

Dave Shepherd with age comes wisdom. You should pick it up quickly.

[@daveshepherd7582]

Eric. with age comes lots of stuff, grey hair, nose hair, ear hair and belly flab. None of these are as cool as learning to play a guitar. But yes, wisdom is fortunately one of the gifts you get and hopefully acoustic ability as well. BTW do you have a Gibson guitar? :-)

[@Twice_Marvel]

Dave Shepherd maybe in the future haha. I'm new to guitar as well. Gibson guitars are pretty expensive.

[@jameslangridge1674]

Dave Shepherd I started when I was 14 and am now 37. Still play almost every day and gig as often as I can. (1-2 times a month). I can tell you that if you follow Music is Win's tips and advice, you will pick it up fairly quickly. I wish I had a resource and teacher this good when I started out with my musical journey. Good luck and my tip would be to make sure you practise everyday, even if only for 20-30 minutes. The callouses on your fingertips will harden and your hands will get stronger, your fingers more dexterous and fluid and your musical intuition will start to reveal itself. It's an amazing experience when that all comes together and it starts making sense. Good luck.

[@StephenRawding]

Impressive to say the least. You're very good at teaching. You're also becoming a REALLY good guitar player. I been playing 25+years but learned by ear. Never learned much theory. Rest of my family were semi famous musicians of sort, drummer, vocals, guitar, in the country music business years ago, I always felt pressure to pursue guitar due to music being a close thing my family grew to love. Glad I did, I love it of course, how can you not? (rhetorical question). :) Anywho, being a long time guitarist & learning from someone from a younger generation.... very cool. Props to you brotha!

I agree completely! Been a hobbyist for 10 years and gigging muso for another 13yrs, and I can tell you that I already know most of the stuff he says and the tips he provides, but the way he presents it and how he makes it so accessible is the key.

[@FabrizioPeretti]

what about learning the scale on every single string? :) that helps a lot moving it around!

[@andreapiacentini9108]

il mio maestro fa fare a coppie di corde consecutive, su una pentatonica ti escono 5 esercizi, io li ho trovati utilissimi, dopo un po' che li fai ti viene proprio naturale muoverti di piu' sulla tastiera

[@MrDmadness]

everything you learn on the first 2 strings can be applied to the next 2 strings using the next octive as a root.. ;)

[@FabrizioPeretti]

Yes i do that a lot. I was talkimg about developing the scale on one string in groups of 3... with every time division possible

[@MrDmadness]

modes, you can learn apply them to a single string or any number of them

[@upplsuckimcool16]

I think that's his point.

[@reymiyamoto5717]

[@ehud88]

Great video dude

[@dadude7]

Quite a good lesson. Like this guy!

[@tom434911]

dadude7 The numbering he was using was the scale formula, which is based on the chromatic scale and is related to the major scale, the "mother of all scales". The major scale is constructed from all major and perfect intervals. All other scales are varied in some way. For example, a minor scale (aeolian) has a flat 3, flat 6, and flat 7. A Dorian scale has a flat 3 and a flat 7 like the minor scale, and a major 6 like the major scale. The mixolydian scale is a major scale but with a flat 7. If you took every possible interval and played them in a sequence you would have the chromatic scale (root, flat 2, 2, flat 3, 3, perfect 4, augmented 4/diminished 5, perfect 5, flat 6, 6, flat 7, 7, octave). Hope that helps 🤘👍

[@reeshabhThkr]

Hello sir, I just want to say that you are awesome and too much underrated

[@FisVii77]

[@TinyMaxfer]

thanks for the tip about just playing top 3 strings. Im trying to teach my neighbour guitar and I just couldn't make it sound easier then just tough it out and learn the shapes haha.

[@TheADHkid]

this helped A LOT!

[@gatorgrass3]

Man your videos are awesome really intelligent, I'm a visual learner and player, in short it would help me to see a couple cord patterns in the scale so my verbal side can develop the theory, does that make sense? Without the theory they're just notes

[@redguitarwarrior2179]

great job !!!!!

[@lukasmakesmusictoooldtolea8122]

That's a great video! :) Could you also make one in which you explain how to combine soloing with a simple (open) chord progression? I have always been wondering how you could play licks or scales over a chord (also in particular which chord and which scale to choose). :) Really amazing content! Insta sub!

[@MikeStock88]

Meridirh Productions I'll try and help since its something I'm using find out the progression and figure out the chord scale ie which scale do those chords belong to typically in western music you stack thirds to create the chords hope that helps

[@couraguosservant4866]

youre my hero

[@romanferguson4032]

yo nice tip. learning three strings at a time moving up the fretboard is way better for me than learning each position on all 6 strings. it has noticably helped me move up more than across.

[@livelifetogivelife9462]

Thanks!

[@midwesthomehealthcarellc4274]

Thank you!

[@MuzeTitaN]

good job with you explaining the idea . I don't necessarily have that problem but what I would like to see is scales in odd patterns or unconventional was of playing scales . I tend to play in a wide range not just using the pentatonic scale . but I have a hard time with extending my range off of what I do . I don't know much music theory at all and I play by ear. I am probably not making much sense but when I solo I can't seem to create a wider range of emotions due to my lack of scale knowledge . what would you recommend me doing other then learning new scales ?

[@ronnieharrisson]

I've been waiting so long to learn this stuff! Maybe it's time to break out from the 12th fret!

[@spchaledonnj68]

good video good idea.

[@dylanculver2599]

If you are creating a song, do you have to use only one scale? Or can you use multiple? Also what is a mode?

Here you start the next position up in the 3rd. I imagine you could also start it in the 5th. Am I right? Could you also start on the 4th, 6th, 7th etc?

[@Robert-ew4jk]

I love your t-shirt

[@eddyguizonde401]

as a synesthaetic that sees sounds, let me tell you learning scales was easy for me. i don't have perfect pitch by any means, but learning my octaves and scales did come naturally. that means i never explain it correctly to someone with normal eyesight. i'm at wit's end trying to teach a friend his octaves just to move around freely. i'll give your tip a try. i know it's not his fault he doesn't see sounds, but i'm so frustrated for him not getting it and beating himself up over it.

[@ElAguilaDeSandiego]

A lot of memorization 😢 so Is the shapes from every key different?

[@qbruinsmaable]

ive kinda been doing this for too long i think now.. i have no idea of the exact names of the things im playing, yet i do know what fits together and what doesnt, without even thinking about it. yet i always come up with a new riff/drumbeat/lead song on my looper multipedal everytime i play. i wonder how i can step up my game, perhaps by going deeper into music theory? idk guys anyone have tips for me?

[@Limbaugh_]

So different positions are essentially just the other modes of the scale, but we're still focusing on the original root note?

[@raggy1324]

Might be a stupid question but, would the C major scale in the second position be the same as the D Dorian scale.

[@Asimov16]

You have my midi keyboard behind you. So do you know "Stairway to heaven" LOL. Good tutorial. I know the scales I know but I still get lost when I change key. I play all the right shapes, but not necessarily in the right order.

[@TheSgyro]

Now that i know how to learn scales.. Which should i learn first?! 😐.. Major? Minor pentatonic? Caged system 5 positions or 3 note per string 7 positions?

[@heatmanable]

like to know what brand are your small speakers in the back and how do you like em

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

Tyler is there a certain order we should learn scales in? Obviously everyone usually starts with minor pentatonic n then what would be a logical progression from there?

[@Gtraxx1]

I just bought the same shirt a few days ago haha

[@Gaukler81]

Hey, Tylor, I'm learning Guiyar Supper sysytem 1, but I didn't find what you said about these "position" thing,where can i find it？ thank you!

[@JulitoSimon1]

"Music is Win" is a Win

[@tracylaven7020]

So the third position starts w the flat third of the second position and so on.

[@tom434911]

So, this looks very similar to learning diatonic scale patterns one octave at a time, rather than learning a meaningless "box of dots". Learning and exploring the different ways an octave of a scale can appear (on one string, on two strings, 3 strings, ascending vs descending from different fingers while staying "in position") by learning the intervals that make up the scale, and all the ways those intervals can appear on the fretboard seems to be really opening up the fretboard for me. I find I am much more aware of what it is I'm playing, and lessental energy is needed to sort out where I am in a pattern. All patterns (box, three note per string, single string, diagonal, etc), meld together into different ways of linking octave fingerings together. Thoughts?

[@MrDmadness]

exactly, this is why it is so much better to know why than to just know that "hay THAT sounds good"

If a person like myself had been playing major and minor pentatonic for quite some time, and wanting to seriously add another scale what would be a good choice for the nx step.

[@eddieneal9920]

Aeolian mode for minor keys, Mixolydian mode for major keys.

[@undercrackers56]

Starting at the "flat third position" eh? It always amuses me how so many people who consider themselves to be a guitar teach (especially the younger ones) assume so much knowledge in their audience. Recently I have tried two new guitar teachers. On both occasions explained that I have had previous lessons where I have been given a fretboard printout and told to "go away and learn that". I don't know how to do that task. After a suitable amount (£35/hour) of sympathy and assurance, both teachers gave me a fretboard printout and told me to "go away and learn that". It is staggering.

[@mahdizarhon7375]

[@MadMellon777]

I'm confused as to how were are supposed to know the correct notes as we go up the neck. He says to learn the positions of the first the strings but he doesnt give us a chart to show us the 1st 3 strings. EDIT: I ended up using this website 's graph to view the e minor pentatonic scale's first 3 strings
