Matt Smith - Secrets of the Blues - Mixing Major and Minor Pentatonics

[@iceshantyprostitutedragon6627]

I have paid for blues lessons more than a few times, not one has ever explained the timing of when you start a solo, Thanks, Matt!

[@piratepudge7453]

This lesson deserve a million views. Best Blues lesson ever.

[@mrbanksy7303]

Yep - He's one of the very best. Shame I can't meet the guy, stuck here in England. Best lessons I've had in a long while. All power to you Matt!

[@danieldonchov5063]

This is one of the best blues guitar lesson I have ever seen! Thank you!

[@heplar]

50 years of playing guitar and you just schooled me. Thanks so much Matt. Excellent.

[@nelsonstrange888]

I spent a week with this man. two years later I am still absorbing the amazing method of guitar he school me in. The man is not only a dude, a guru a mentor, but cool as hell. you would do well to visit Six String ranch. NS

My wife and I both took lessons from Matt around 25 years ago, when he lived in the Albany NY area. He is an incredible teacher for guitar, vocals and arrangement. I had a theory background, my wife didn't. He has a knack for meeting the student at whatever level they come from. I've taken lessons from others, but Matt was a real master.

[@cecildaniel1260]

Is there anyway I can sign up for lessons? Michael

[@6stringranch148]

Matt Maloney yes Matt, that was me. Hope you're doing great.

[@richardp5161]

Anyone have a graphic chart of the major and minor scales he was using?

[@Rick_Cleland]

Who are you? Where am I? What year is it!?

[@thegreatestdao]

𝕽ick 𝕮leek You are you. You are where you are. The year is 2017.

[@robertph1787]

Now I know your secret thank you

[@billwilliams6338]

6 STRING RANCH, ,,,, can you make a video showing a bunch of ROCK guitar solos that used Major Pentatonic scales not minor pentatonic?

[@Gichanasa]

Did you teach Paul Gilbert how to teach?

[@stratrat465]

Matt can you explain why you are using the A pentatonic( major and minor ) throughout the progression . i see how it works but why are you using Am pentatonic over a D chord , i would have thought of using D pentatatonic over D , can you explain that theory , would really help thanks

[@6stringranch148]

The A and C in the A minor pentatonic are the 5 and flat 7 of the D7 chord. The E in the scale is the 9 of D7, which also works over the chord. A Major pentatonic has a C#, which clashes with the D7.

[@stratrat465]

Thank You !

[@jamesonfloyd9415]

So can anyone explain theoretically why the A minor pentatonic works over the 4 and 5 chords? Thanks!

[@6stringranch148]

Jameson Floyd It has to do with the notes in the 4 chord. In A, the 4 chord is D7 ( D F# A C), the A minor pentatonic ha the A, C, and D in it, as well as E (9) and G, which is why the scale works so well. Stay away from that G note over the D7 chord. 4 out of 5 aint bad.....

[@flexwinggpipi]

Nice....
