There are many scales for the beginner guitar player to learn. Our expert is going to show you a scale he calls the pentatonic pattern #1. It's a practical scale he uses every single day. Once you learn it, you no doubt will too.
Next on the list is scales. So scales ‚Äì there's many, many, many books of scales, big encyclopedias of scales, but I'd like to show you the most practical scales that I use every single day. The very first scale I ever learned, I like to call it pentatonic pattern number 1, but it's just a pentatonic scale, or a shape of one. Let's dive in. I'm going to do it here at the 5th fret. So I'm on the 5th fret of the 6th string. And I'm going to use my first finger. Then the next note is not the 2nd fret away from that, not the 3rd fret, but the 4th fret. So on the 6th string I have the 1st and the 4th. Then I move down to the 5th string. And I'm going to do 1, 3 ‚Äì so notice I'm using my third finger. Then the next string, 4th string: 1 and 3. And then 1 ‚Äì 3 again, but on the 3rd string. Then 1-4, but on the 2nd. And then 1-4 on the 1st. So you see, 1-4. That's why I'm saying those numbers, so I have: 1-4; 1-3; 1-3; 1-3; 1-4; 1-4. Now if I want to go backwards, I just start with this note and work my way back. So I go: 4-1; 4-1; 3-1; 3-1; 3-1; 4-1. Now, this is a movable shape, just like bar chords or power chords. I can move this anywhere on the guitar and the shape doesn't change. That's the beauty of the guitar. Let's say we do it at the3rd fret. So I'm going to do it: 1-4; 1-3 ‚ and backwards. How about the 7th fret? And then how about we try Open. That's a little trickier because I have to pretend that my first finger is playing, sort of. Can you see the pattern here? I have in this imaginary spot, 1-4; 1-3; 1-3; all the way down. Of course we're not going to play it like that. We're going to play it a little more natural, right? So it's O-3; O-2; O-2; O-2; O-3; and O-3. That's the same exact pattern. It looks a little different. That's a little thing about the guitar, you always have to compensate for the open aspect. And then I'm just going to work my way backward. 3-O; 3-O; 2-O; 2-O; 2-O; 3-O. There you go. Pentatonic Pattern Number 1.

This is one of the best beginner guitar lessons/pentatonic scale lessons I've ever watched. I've played rhythm for years but am trying to learn scales and solos. Most KZbin video's show the pattern and then the guy just rails on his solos and shows off his ability to play FAST. This video is a real lesson...and I'm very excited to learn and follow. If you're a beginner scale/solo player, I highly recommend this and his videos!

[@deerstalkinginenglandltd9176]

you have just explained exactly what I wanted to know and nobody else can put simply. I have been looking all over you tube for that.

[@user-pr7ix3dt7h]

Literally the best video I’ve seen on how to play a simple scale. Most people start taking about music theory and reading the musical dictionary whilst doing it. This guy is straight to the point. Thank you.

[@penssmell997]

Perfect, helpful video. Cut right to the chase instead of the other 5 million videos of this that feature an hour long introduction

[@Lalaluhla]

aaah perfect, I've seen so many "1st electric guitar lessons" on youtube where they just said "so we take the pentatonic scale and mix it up" etc. and...well as I said, beginner lessons, so this video is basically all I wanted to know but I haven't seen any video explaining it that "straight forward" and simple ;) thanks a lot!

[@xdenju456]

The pentatonic scale is perhaps the best thing a guitarist can learn. The thing that makes it so unique is that every one of the 5 notes (penta - tonic = five - tone) can be played over just about any chord used in the relative major scale. It is pretty much the foundation of any guitar solo you hear. The intro riff to the Stairway To Heaven solo is entirely composed of the exact scale that this guy is playing in the video, with the addition of a few bends.

[@bobbylong3312]

Thanks so much for showing this scale and pattern. It's hard to sift through all the videos of guitarists wanting to charge people just to show them a few scales. So, thanks for "giving" us the knowledge.

[@Apoped]

It's sounds great with so many rhythms and the Pentatonic sounds great solo, with other guitars, and its used so widely, learning it will also help learn other chords.

[@braedenparsons6068]

I love how he is straight to the point no bs thank you so much

[@Dab11082]

It is amazing when you learn the basic scales. I learned the basic 5 patterns in E; and then starting over on the 12th fret. From there you can learn them in A, G, D, and so on.

[@Maddi3scene]

I seriously have had guitars for years and always just played alone for fun. This ONE video has added so much to my playing and now I am like DUH! So you got a new subscriber and I can't wait to learn more. I have a Trio+ and played a 3 cord blues pattern just so I can practice some scales with it and what a game changer for me. Gotta start somewhere even if its years later :) THANK YOU.

The beauty of this scale is that, I believe, is the most simple to learn and to remember. At it's core, it's very simple, but there are layers of depth on how to use this scale

im so lost in learning how to play guitar...I mean I know basic chords and can read fairly well....but idk how to get to the level of being able to play by ear and stuff...I mean everyone tells me its practice...but idk where to start do I do scales? or tabs? or power chords idk how to get any further im so stuck...and I need some kind of advice please anybody....? ;-;

Jonny Gat An application that has helped me is Yousician. It helped me improve, even though I was already at the intermediate level when I started. I saw an ad for Yousician on KZbin and clicked on it, and downloaded the app. I highly recommend it. It is similar to RockBand, except it teaches you how to play. Try it and see if you like it.
