Thank you LGW and Suke. Your lessons have helped open a new dimension for me. Everything seems to comes together; the chords, the scales, and, the arpeggios. These are the best practical music theory+improvisation lessons on KZbin :)

[@LeadGuitarWorkshop]

That's music to my ears, so glad to hear that. Thank you and Keep Playing!

@@LeadGuitarWorkshop I'm glad to hear that. You're very welcome :)

Nothing new here for anyone who has been playing for a considerable amount of time, but if you think about it, this video is unique on youtube and priceless for beginners seeing as all this stuff has never really been presented so well and so clearly in one comprehensive video, great job!

[@LeadGuitarWorkshop]

Thank you so much!

[@nigelpayne1262]

Brilliant lesson for me! Thanks Suke for explaining how everything works on guitar music. A minor seems to me a good place to start 5th fret pentatonic scale and go back to it when feeling a bit lost when playing. Hope I'm right saying that. Thanks again Suke.👍

[@LeadGuitarWorkshop]

Thank you for watching and the kind words. Am is prob the most common key aside from Em to solo in. Keep it going and Keep Playing!

[@rexbenemerito1943]

The best lesson to watch in YT. Sir, you are the best. Thanks.

This tutorial has helped make me a better harmonica player.

[@LeadGuitarWorkshop]

Love it

[@Bumper_jed]

There a lot of information in this video but I had to wait until 10 minutes until you give an example. There is valuable info after 14 minutes. I was looking for examples of riffs using the pentatonics, not enough. This is just talking too much

[@sibongisiphovile9308]

Guess it wasn't meant for your level..found everything informative for my level

You talk too much, you repeat 5 notes too much, just get to the point

[@theband6137]

Hi, Ive just found your channel, and the clarity of approach is great - short topic broken down into simple language. And without the shredding alot of tutorial channels seem to put in at the intro!!! Im 61, have played in bands and know a bit of theory and scales etc and in as much as you inspire me to develop, I just cant find the time - or just get off my butt! I work, get home and I just want to relax... maybe you could do a topic of inspiring us to find the time, be less lazy.... I must start to do at least 10 mins of something a day.... Cheers, Glenn

[@LeadGuitarWorkshop]

Thank you and welcome!

[@JohnnyTortel]

This is the first the first video i've seen that goes more in depth than major/minor pentatonic. Usually it goes "So here's the major/minor pentatonic *huge shredding to show off*. Ok now we're gonna play something with more vocabulary, let's try the major scale. So much stuff can be done with the pentatonic and yet nobody (except you fortunately!) cares to explain it on youtube.

[@LeadGuitarWorkshop]

Thank you and I think so too. Keep playing

[@johnculligansongs2584]

Bravo! Best explanation I have ever heard on pentatonics and how to use them. And I've watched a lot of videos.

[@LeadGuitarWorkshop]

Wow! that says alot, thank you! and Keep Playing!

[@randywhite1422]

I like how you explained the correlation between pentatonic and chords and a bit of theory ,taking the mystery out of theory and how it all works together great lesson thanks.

Sir... Please make a tutorial in where that will be discussed, how to shift scale run while we play with jamm track that contains many chords.

[@kc8923]

Try this for starters. A lot of info but easy to follow and has a good backing track to go with it.

[@Poopbutt2134]

The video of the b.b box will explain it

[@JCGible]

I don't have the foggiest idea what the your talking about

[@Goksel1973]

Thank you! Now I better understand the concept of minor, which is the equivalent of the majors in the fifth of circle, which I encountered for the first time in solfeggio lessons. The 1st pattern in A minor at the 5th fret constitutes the 2nd pattern in C major at the 8th fret. Can we apply this to all chords on the 1st string, depending on the number of frets?

I saw you play at a bar in Florida called Sliders around 25 years ago or so with your band Schleigho. I bought a cd and even though it wasn't exactly my favorite kind of music I thought you were one of the best guitar players I had ever seen. I think we had a brief discussion before your set when you were cleaning your guitar or something and I asked if anyone in the band was into Gentle Giant and you shook your head and said that people ask you that all the time but that you didn't know anything about Gentle Giant at all or had never even really heard them. I hope I'm remembering this correctly. It was a great show and I still think back to all the great bands on that circuit that I saw play at Sliders.

[@LeadGuitarWorkshop]

Yes! We used to love to come to Florida and Sliders! I do remember talking about the Gentle Giant thing too. Glad to see you on this side, Keep playing!

Thought the triangle shape in music was for Major ? also for minor pentatonic it's upside down on your diagram . It's a visual thing box one. Good video BTW.

[@LeadGuitarWorkshop]

If you were writing chords, D-7 G7 to C Maj7 then u can use a triangle for Maj. But in scale diagrams it's just shapes. I use square for Major and triangle for minor root notes.

[@jennyomalley7634]

@@LeadGuitarWorkshop yep but the triangle shape is directional so it looks like it's showing up rather than down for the minor.

[@jjlbridge7877]

Your a good teacher. Thanks for sharing.

[@VintageTubeTone]

This is a truly excellent discussion. The latter portion on modes of the major scale is quite advanced, but nicely explained. To expand on your points for anyone that didn't completely follow, in addition to the relative major and minor scales, you can find all the other modes, Dorian, Ionian, Mixolydian by starting on various notes of the major scale (or relative minor). In this case, it would be the full scale, meaning the major pentatonic, plus the fourth and sixth. So using this same position on the neck and using all the same notes of the full C major scale, if started on the fifth tone, G, you have the G Mixolydian scale. If started on the 2nd tone of the C major scale, D, it becomes the D Dorian scale. And if started on the 6th or A, you have the A minor scale, as referenced in the video. Therefore, if you know the full major scale (or full minor) you can find all the other modes in every key from a simple scale that you already know. This is why the first step to break out of playing pentatonic scales is to think in terms of full scales (major or minor) from which you are omitting notes for the pentatonic.

[@LeadGuitarWorkshop]

Excellent, thank you for that

[@tdesq.2463]

It's amazing how many people have not figured that out. Congrats! And here's more: The chromatic step patterns of the 5 standard Pentatonic Scales correspond to those of the 5 non-scale notes of the standard 7-note tonal scale. In other words: The 5 Black Keys on a piano in a single chromatic octave (in C/Am). Knock out the Devil's Interval (B & F), which you already did, because they form a tri-tone. Now, take each of the 5 standard Pentatonic Scale notes, one at a time. For each, find the Black Key at the tri-tone position (7th chromatic note). Using that Black Key as the 1, tap it and the next 4 Black Keys in succession. That is the corresponding chromatic step pattern for the Pentatonic Scale rooted on your chosen Tonal Scale note. Pretty Neat, eh! Great Comment!!! Quite Impressive! ~TD, Boston

[@richdeprospo7165]

@@tdesq.2463 That is fascinating. I had no idea. I'll have to explore that the next time I'm in front of a piano.

@@LeadGuitarWorkshop thank you I will continue to play productively, I spent too many years a noodling around, this helps so much better just having a musical concept, what happened doing that for a while playing a Jam tracks click tracks and along with songs, obviously playing live with experienced musicians as well, best thing I did a couple years ago start playing with the worship team at church, when you have to learn songs and learn to transpose otherwise the self motivation to to be a living room player can get off track.
