Seriously, whoever animated the fretboard is incredible. Where can I see more of that? It's an excellent visualization of what's happening, and reminds me of those bassline breakdowns showing the "peaks and valleys" of how guys like Jamerson play. It's a great way to show non-musicians or amateur musicians what's going on. I need to see more of tat so I can share it with people.

To further clarify, by using the concept of relative minor/major, you would know that the relative minor of C major is A minor, hence why he is playing an A minor pentatonic (5th fret) starting on C. That gives you C major pentatonic. You can also play a C minor pentatonic over a major chord, but make sure to occasionally land on a natural 3rd. If you hang on the b3, it’s going to be quite tense. There are 5 minor pentatonic shapes (boxes) you can learn. Most guitar players know one, but you really need to learn all five, as you’ll be able to use the entirety of the neck to solo. Eric Johnson is a master of this. You’ll also learn the neck a lot faster.

First and foremost when learning scales learn major and minor and the order of modes learn the sequences for those said modes. Know where and when they are best used and experiment with them. There is an order that’s easy to follow and the shapes are not hard also use the Nashville system in bands it makes learning songs and writing parts and charts so much easier but don’t use there click track timing on 8th notes use quarter notes like a normal human

This is a good place for a beginner to start branching out from the common pentatonic shape. Take that shape you know, and learn to use those notes one fret down on each string. And ignore everything he said about major at the beginning, that has nothing to do with this lesson. This is strictly minor pentatonic. Take you time and listen to the notes you're playing, and always resolve back to the root note. This is where it all begins.

I have to mention this for anyone who might not have considered it. Depending on what you are trying to understand, you will have to look at intervals in 3 different ways: 1. As they are right now( which is in relations to the root of the scale) 2. In relations to the chord that is playing at the time 3. In relations of the note you just played to the note you are playing right now Only in the 1st category will you have the intervals looking just like they are on thease particular diegrams of the video, (aka, if you are using this scale, and having the root note be that particular one) Otherwise thease notes will not hold the same interval number in different contexts. Its a simple thing but i do think oftain neglected to acknowledge, and then it can cause confusion when looking at the guitar. My point is that ' seeing ' the guitar as more than a peace of confusing wood, is a cirtain thought process that you can get used to if you practise differenciating between thease 3 types whenever you play or analise a song. To analise a song very easly, ill recomend knowing the types of chords of the major scale and their order. For example, if i see 2 major chords a whole step apart, i know that that is probably the IV and V chord of a key, because every major scale has that pattern( as well as minor scale and every mode, but only instead of Iv and V, they are in different numberings depending on the starting note of the mode, [the VI and VII in minor btw]) Anyway, thats that, watch LoG sounds "how to think about chords" and i think youll get it if you dont already. Thats whare i learned this and finally was able to implement it in my thought process as i played. Have a good day, have fun n all that

A perfect example of how great players aren't necessarily great teachers. Edit: just thought I'd check in again as, unsurprisingly, lots of people on the Internet appear to be outraged by my comment 😅. For context, I've played guitar for 30 years but I'm a history teacher by trade. I teach every day and had to train for years to understand all the theories and research there is around pedagogy. Here's what I meant in more detail. 1. The lesson purports to be about teaching "the pentatonic equator". This isn't a helpful start as this isn't an accepted/well known phrase in guitar teaching. Anyone just starting out would be confused by this. A lesson should have a clearly defined, easily understood, title that matches the content. The people telling me that he's 'just teaching positions 1 and 5 of the minor pentatonic' should note the title isn't 'learn positions 1 and 5 of the minor pentatonic scale', it's something completely different. 2. Not only is it not clear what the end goal is, the language being used is not helpful. For example, at one point he says "lets be symetrical" before displaying something that shows no symetry whatsoever. Also, letting your sentences trail off whilst unleashing some outstanding blues licks isnt going to help a learner. The same could be said of the term "equator"; it suggests the middle of something whereas what he refers to as the "equator" is actually the beginning, or end, of the pentatonic boxes, depending on how you look at it. There is also no need whatsoever for mentioning the major pentatonic. It's utterly irrelevant for explaining position 5 of the minor pentatonic and is just confusing different concepts. 3. People telling me everything would actually be revealed by watching the full length video miss the point, why create a short that devalues and complicates what is supposedly being taught? If the lesson needs 10 minutes, then make it 10 minutes. Don’t cut corners. 4. There are a huge number of comments on the video from players who are presumably just starting out, have learnt the 5 pentatonic positions, and are completely confused. I don’t blame them. So there you go, I've been sad enough to clarify my point. Maybe I should explain how I would do it?! That wouldn't upset anyone would it 🤣🤦🏽‍♂️.

@@deadshot4245 Oh absolutely man! Technically speaking what I mentioned actually has 0% to do with tone and everything you mentioned is 100% what tone ACTUALLY is. Things like vibrato, picking and timing come down to the basic musical elements of rhythm, articulation and dynamics, which would make any instrument sound better, but actually has nothing to do with what makes the instrument sound the way it does (tone/timbre.) But because improving those techniques gives off such a characteristic sound, we sort of just call it tone anyway. But then it gets difficult, because if you articulate with a harder attack for instance, the tone gets brighter, so those techniques AFFECT tone, but they aren't what tone IS. How weird lol. And then there's the matter of how gear can actually MAKE you improve those techniques which is a whole other conversation :D

@@potatochicko Your last response here really nailed everything and was a perfect way to continue the conversation from the previous comment. This is coming from a luthier of 15 years. That said, it's all semantics to debate what tecnically constitutes "tone". While you're both right, the truth is still that the majority of how we perceive a players sound is in the playing itself. Just where somebody's hand naturally sits has a big enough impact to completely override the difference between two different models of the same pickup. Add all the little dynamics of their playing, and it's a wrap. I remember wanting to replicate the tone of Melvin Davis on bass as a kid. I went to the ends of the earth to find an email for him. Got my question through, and his response was "it's all in the hands". Imagine my dismay. I responded, letting him know I understand that, but I really want to know what pickups he was using in a certain performance. He didn't even know. It was hard to accept that I got a response from him, but no real answer. Years later, I was trying to replicate Les Claypool's sound since my band covered a few primus songs. I had just started building instruments and had built a similar bass to his. Got the same exact pickups he used... I could never sound like him. No matter what bass he uses, he sounds like Claypool. No matter what bass I use, I sound like me. Like Melvin Davis said, it's all in the hands. And yes, the gear you use absolutely can change your perception enough to make you play differently by accentuating different frequencies. It's wild, but true. Rant over. lol

Really nice to hear him play. Which is the best way to get a good amount of ear training. The basics of guitar theory and playing in a key is essential to understand and can't be learned not grasped in a 60 second video. Not even 60 minutes would give a untrained guitarists the needed knowledge to comprehend and implement the scales,modes, and proper fingering and note structure. As one learns these qualities of tone and the shapes of each scale positions and hand movements, one begins to apply the taught structure and improve their way to getting a sound and personality that's to their own.

I think the best way to teach students about music and to train their ear is to not look at this stuff as patterns and boxes on the fretboard but what differentiates the minor and major pentatonics. That is to say, what exactly makes them sound so different from each other. How the b3 and b7 notes give that minor feeling. And how the 2nd, 3rd and 6th creates that 'major' feel for the major pentatonic. The positions will become apparent during self discovery when learning the fretboard. I guess it's helpful to get a 'head-start' with someone giving you a pattern, but that tends to make you play kind of in a non-musical way. As a side note, what I find sort of interesting is how you can see how the pentatonics, both minor and major are sub-sets of the various minor and major modes. When learning all the positions of the pentatonics, you are really learning your modes at the same time, or at least the positions.

C minor scale pentatonic or regular is the e string is the minor note of the g string so if c is on the e string e flat is on the g string , all you need to do is use shared fret system as I call it , and your able to utilize c from the g string flatten the e on the bstring and it becomes e flat

It helped me because for years I never completely understood this but I would see a lot of guitar players using their pointer finger for vibrato on certain solos and when I would solo in that key the right note was the octave but you would use your ring finger to land on it and do vibrato. Once I realized that it’s the same note just lower on the neck and you use your pointer finger it all made sense . So now o can jump back and forth and mix it up so it gives you more options

its because it is the root note of the chromatic scale. he learned traditional music theory and piano, both of which start their notation and increment octaves on c. it was most likely just habit, because thats the default note a traditional musician would use for examples, since it is most talked about and used as an example when learning theory. c major and minor are the first scales a beginner learns. naturally he is teaching the subsequent forms of these scales (using the consonant pentatonics) in the key of C as well, to keep things simple. it's just a bit weird on guitar because guitarists usually start with the key of E for obvious reasons.

It’s the same number of notes just in positions that force a different attack than the standard boring box

Do you use some special software to get the notes played to the scales? Or you do it one by one?

How did I actually understand this? I’ve watched dozens of guitar videos and most seemed to not make sense to me. Nice way of teaching it.

Honestly, just looking at how he plays gives a lot of insight, but you kind of need to know how to play a little bit already. I think improvisation beginners should just get familiar with the blues and pentatonic scales up and down the fretboard first. Also, looking at some artists like Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton can really help to understand how improvisation works. There are 5 positions to the pentatonic scale. The pentatonic, blues, and major/minor scales are basically the same thing just with a few note differences in between, so all these scales essentially share the same 5 shapes that are connected. The shape he starts with is how I view the beginning of the minor pentatonic scale, the next shape over is basically the "major" part. So C minor pentatonic is the same scale as D sharp Major pentatonic. Hopefully, that gives some insight and will make sense once you keep learning.

I’m confused. First he shows position one of the pentatonic scale moved in to the major pentatonic position. Got it! Then he plays the 5th minor position instead. I though he was teaching the minor major combination?

I think it could have been more helpful (for me at least) if he explained the quality and the function of the chords he plays in between the licks, I mean, the harmonic structure behind it? Anyway, I guess I'm asking a lot from a youtube short haha. Love from Argentina.

I still can’t wrap my brain around why when he demos combining the two scales, the notes on the minor pentatonic isn’t matching the first part of the animation.
