This is the way I learned to play years ago. One thing I would like to point out is by practicing these techniques in each position first and then learn each closed position of the natural, harmonic, melodic, and blues scales , all of the approach notes and enclosed notes exist within each of the minor scale variations. Not just the particular minor key but its relative and parallel major. Very cool. Thanks for the refresher!!

NICE LESSON ... played the minor pentatonic scale instinctively before I ever knew what it was ... all of my solos were built around it ... this now gives me some new options to incorporate ... not so random but with a focus on specific basics for riffs ... COOL ... makes for great phrasing ... NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN ... THANKS !!!
@NateAnderson696 жыл бұрын
I've been playing for roughly ten years. THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR. I've memorized all of the pentatonic patterns, but I've always stayed to a blues style, and haven't been able to break out of my usual bluesy vocabulary. Can't wait to smoke a legal joint (Canada things, woot woot) and chill out to this. Thank you so, so much!!

Excellent concept of making the scales more interesting BUT what I would have liked is not only the improvisation but also what CHORDS go with the scale so the player is totally self sufficient instead of using backing tracks. For Example: Playing half the scale and then throwing in a couple easy jazz chords that would fit, then continue with the scale and then add more easy chords. some people out there (like me) who are at the novice/intermediate level) just want to sound good. Play some George Benson and you will have a better idea of what I mean - thank you for your efforts, I really enjoyed your video. Hope you take it to the next level.

Is your guitar tone sounding good because of the guitar or you used eq? How to make the guitar having that thick sound?
@FretDojo2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for asking! I use no effects on the amp and just roll the tone knob all the way down to get that thick sound.
@piposanchez Жыл бұрын
Think of pickup selector and tone knob as your eq! Neck is for the mids + lows (good for clean/jazz sound), middle pickup is like a hybrid, and bridge pickup = hotter signal, more gain, brighter sound (good to stand out). A KZbin vid can probably explain it better 😅
