Let's talk Pentatonic - How do I use them? Part 1 - Smoothie Time Jam Track Lesson

[@justinguitar]

Nice one dude :)

[@danishpete]

Thank you legend 🙌🏻

[@riwajrai]

wow! even jistin also spares some time to watch other's videos.

[@bkyella]

JustinGuitar dude!!! Dude? Cross the pond dude! Well done Justin🤙

[@jhoodwvu]

@@danishpete do you do Skype lessons?

[@RACETOTHEFINISH7]

Am I the only one who can just listen to play jam tracks and improvise for hours? The guy plays like a dream, and it's literally what I want my soundtrack to my life to sound like. *thumbs up*

[@paramediccpo]

Who thinks Pete should make a guitar course ! I would buy it

[@RACETOTHEFINISH7]

I'd buy 10 copies.

[@robertphinney1944]

I would also

[@cgavin1]

Pete's style is very good for learning and teaching imho. Too many new guitarists start out trying to learn blues style solo guitar riffs and licks and never really become musical or inclusive and get disillusioned with not having any "range" to their playing.

[@mismo358]

🙋‍♂️ im very interested in something like learn in your pace online thing

[@snappy-strat-snacks1551]

So would I!

[@StormdriverOne]

Pete's purple pentatonic plectrum picking is particularly pleasant.

[@philipwpartain]

Purely perception...probably. 😏

[@philipcliff5680]

Alliteration always amuses all and amasses awesome anticipation I've got no idea what I'm talking about

[@macanoodough]

Perfect picking of the particulars you prefer...

[@dwscott343]

Magnificent alliteration

[@EricNorstrom]

A powerful pontification of pacadermic proportions

[@ArielPosen]

yeah baby...

[@smailspace2624]

Oh yes, Pete you have influenced me to 'dust off the Ditto' once again! Thanks P.

[@Worlster]

It's all about the phrasing. Because Pete's phrasing is so musical, he could get away with (almost) playing any note, and as long as it moves to a good note, it will sound great. It's like Robben Ford... Most of what he plays is pentatonic, with some tasty diminished/altered scale thrown in. But it's his phrasing that makes it sublime. I put Pete and Robben in a similar category, which is a big compliment to both of them. If you listen to other well know KZbinrs, you will immediately hear the difference. It's all about the groove and the phrasing. It has to feel good to be good. Oh, and I forgot to mention... The tone! Lovely edge of breakup, neck tele pickup, a little reverb. Ah! Breaks up when hit hard but clean when less attack. Magnificent!

[@alfgwahigain5544]

Phrasing! We, as guitarists need to remember to take a break from note-slinging every once in a while. Pete has this down. His playing is top notch and melodic, but yeah - his phrasing is killer.

[@gintonic003]

8:28 "That's just about sitting down and learning the fretboard" Well said. That's what most guitar enthousiasts avoid but that's the knowledge which opens all the doors.

[@pierremystique5335]

Danish Pete - a living legend. Make no mistake.

[@georgesuarez1949]

I've been playing for 30 years and I just realized that Pete has changed my playing more than any other single guitarist. In another 30 years I should be as good as him

[@Fitzliputzli23]

Pete plays so musical that even the most simple stuff sounds incredibly meaningfull.

[@danishpete]

Thank you. That is my goal, to play one note and people will turn around and go, wow who and what is that....

[@villidid]

@@danishpete Great video Pete. Which blues scale are you using over the G9sus4?

[@janolewilhelmsen]

@@danishpete as long as I turn my amp up loud enough, Im pretty sure I'll get that exact response no matter what I play...... But not in a good way :'( :'D

[@MrSkunk1964]

i even think Beethoven would pat Pete on the back.... its a rare gift to hear a melody in the head and bring it to life with the fingers ...guitar or piano doesnt matter. that gift of talent will shine through always. Yes Pete has a sprinkling of magic pixie dust over his soul for the guitar thats for sure and humble to boot. John Mayer recognizes it in Pete and told him so . therefore Mr Pete keep the fingers moving and tones free flowing. Heaven is watching .

[@snappy-strat-snacks1551]

Pete, you are one of the tastiest players ever! Bravo!

[@cryptotroll1232]

Just watched this again and played along 3 years later and I. must say, I am much further along in my guitar journey now thanks to these insights. Amazing stuff Pete.

[@shuman9975]

Just noticed how you almost never end phrases on the root. Builds amazing tension. Super cool man. Thanks!

[@RACETOTHEFINISH7]

Oddly, I was listening to Guthrie Govan talk about this during a 5 part video music session. He makes some very interesting point about it. I'd recommend also viewing that.

[@aliagators3360]

Do you mean the root of the chord or the root of the key (c) ?

[@lightninguitarsolo]

@@aliagators3360 i know this is late, but it would be both as the phrases end on the 1 chord, a Cmaj7

[@dragnasty540]

Pete's phrasing is beautiful!

[@druwk]

Much prefer watching you do these kind of “lessons” vs the product stuff. You’re playing is so tasty 😋. Definitely, want to steal some vibe, and it’s super helpful to know what you’re doing (scale wise). I appreciate your sense of humor and what you bring to the table for the products, but you are a real player. Love learning your approach.

[@speckinthedark]

Distilled tastiness in an easy to understand way that I only have been able to figure out in 12 years of playing. Legend!

[@dmac-333]

Man, young guys n gals so lucky to have free access to champions like Pete to learn from... very cool.

[@cliffb2454]

I always feel square cause I like playin' clean but, your playing shows me how cool clean can be. The notes may be simple but, your timing is magical.

[@graemero5532]

Well said

[@ryjawa]

If Pete did guitar lessons I'd sign up in a heartbeat to try and even gain 50% of his skill

[@Blues-man.]

You all Know this man put in years and years of hard work too be this great, he is one of the best well rounded guitarist of all time !

[@electoplater]

its his job

[@JacksterDude12]

It's his job to sound good alright!

[@billhannum4117]

Not only is Pete's playin tasteful and musical his tone is just fantastic . That tele has that amazing fender tone I chase .

[@Love4boost]

Literally the most inspiring guitarist to me right now. I can’t replicate it worth a damn. But I try and it’s better than what I was doing before

[@paintballer1538]

Met Pete at NAMM 2020 last weekend, he was at bad cat’s booth and seemed genuinely surprised my buddy and I wanted a picture. He obliged and I’m super stoked to have met him!

[@cortical1]

Danish Pete, American Tim here. You rock. That is all. See you at the iHop in Anaheim again this January. Peace and pancakes to you.

[@10kmilesy]

The "letting the chord work" helped me enjoy playing a lot more!

[@SixString_J5]

The intro progression gave me a real Mr. Rogers Neighborhood vibe.

[@orionasgardzero7793]

10% notes choice 90% Timing, Dynamic and Feeling Good Job ;) The italian guy at Andertons

[@shawngeabhart4312]

Pete you are the real deal fella, thanks.

[@jomerapachecha6031]

I like simple notes. Please, make more video of simple and jazzy sounds.

[@GJSsongsmith]

Superb lesson Pete , many thanks

[@jamesfafrak7288]

These videos have been very useful for me, I’ve been learning a lot still in the late beginner/ intermediate level. Since I live in a small industrial town in the US these type of videos have been really helpful so thanks to Pete and all the other awesome KZbin musicians that do lessons online you guys are awesome.

[@keithjohnson8744]

Great stuff....more please

[@MegaNavek]

my gosh pete i am watching these videos just to watch and listen to your playing ...it’s a wonderful touch you have sir...

[@tomlierman3582]

sooo good !

[@glarrymoreme]

Top Guitar Player & your backing tracks really helped me get me guitar mojo back! Cheers

[@timolebeck6405]

Don´t know which video it was... but the best advise Pete gave for soloing was something like: keep your soloing/licks-phrases within two strings. And I following that rule now makes me a better lead player (though I was never a very good one in the first place :P )

[@FlamesAt1000ft]

Cool‼️👍🏾😎Yet,..reassuring + a Joy to see & hear✨🎶🎸 Younger Musicians keep the “feel” in Music/Guitar playing ALIVE!! Go Pete Go❗️🤘🏾⚡️✨🎶🎸🎛🔊🔊👍🏾

[@antonioduarte1335]

Pete's playing is always pleasant

[@rjroth4869]

This is awesome! So, so melodic! I love how you slowly add more and more to the improvisation. I'm already starting to get the basic hang of this!

[@cryptotroll1232]

Pete, you are the man. This exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you for listening to your audience and delivering what I believe are the best guitar lessons/insights available. You know what- I think you could combine pedal/gear demo into these type of lesson and have the ultimate content. You kind of did that when you mentioned what pedal you were using, but feel free to show some settings or adjustments to the pedal and you have yourself an amazing gear demo/guitar lesson combo. I will watch this video over and over, and I know I'm not alone. Bravo.

[@andrewc662]

Ever consider doing a lesson site? I'm sure a lot of people would be interested!

[@SamBellGuitar]

Pete definitely should!

[@wolverine3344]

Heck YEAH man, I’m much more interested in learning his mindset to his beautiful playing than gear reviews.

[@KailynsJoy]

You can't teach SEXY 😜

[@jonlohrenz5446]

“Yousician is the best way to...” *loud crashing noise ending commercial*.

[@musicbyclay4919]

Yeah id love to see that!👍🏻👍🏻

[@Mr59Geezer]

Oh joy! You know when work is soooooo tedious, and you're just stuck, feeling......well, feeling not much really. And then, by sheer fluke, or some devine intervention, you stumble across a delightful and thoroughly unforeseen gem. That's how this video had made me feel. I mean, I'm not even a guitar player, though NOW I wish I was. Ive very occasionally seen Pete on a couple of Andertons videos, and have always been blown away by his sense of fun and of course fabulous playing. Didn't really think to find him elsewhere. I'm on it now. Thanks Pete. This was an absolute joyful pick me up. I'm sure, in my ignorance, I'm not aware of much of the musicianship you've displayed here, especially reading some of the more educated comments, but I still remain inspired and thoroughly enriched by this wonderful demonstration. 👍 Awesome tele and sound too!

[@david_cummings]

Nice little clinic, Pete. Thank you

[@Elektrifekt]

This guys playing is insane! Such a tasteful note choice.

[@riccardovaccese933]

that improvisation is just perfect

[@ianmartin6414]

I think you have hit the nail on the head with this walk through video, not only does it help us mere mortals try to understand how to fit it all together, it also shows just how fricking great a musician you are. I could listen to you all day😄👍👍👏👏

[@zebulon39u]

I love Pete's playing style which is why I prefer him as a presenter for new guitar videos, with the Captain. He's obviously much more at home with clean sounds.

[@zeerakkhan7140]

Pete is a life saver.

[@0548SdR]

Pete, I am truly amazed how much theory there is behind your playing. Whilst it looks to be a 'go with the flow', there actually is some logics to it. This video teaches much more than all those guitar books ;). Now back to practicing scales..

[@larskarlsson9102]

No preassure Pete,but you (and to some extent the rest of the Anderton guys)have become a beacon of sweet relief,incredible jams and tasty licks.I'm so grateful!!! Take Care💜!

[@minjiigo]

Pete, your finesse is exquisite. 🙌👐

[@danhworth100]

Lot of it is just about the touch, dynamics, feel. I could definitely apply this advice

[@UKMARCO7]

Wow! Light bulb 💡 on how to insert the blues scale. Funny as I know the theory behind it but i never thought of it. That’s a SPICE Pete thanks.

[@karlsocasau]

Awesome video ! Great video as always dude 🖤🎸🔥

[@kroadster3249]

Perfect Format. Pete please keep doing this

[@henningcurtiswalter]

Spicey and so tasteful with a bit of purple flavour. Cool stuff!

[@davidbacon4206]

Pete - you are awesome. This is beautiful and simple. And simply beautiful. Thank you. (More please).

[@imranrashid6007]

This is like therapy to me

[@JoseLima-pt9hu]

I think this is the most inspiring video I watched on the subject of pentatonic or other scales and use it to solo. Use the chords to help and make me sound better! The playing technique is superb.Thank you Pete.

[@MegaNavek]

I could watch Pete all day.....brilliant

[@brockpinson949]

The Dane explains things well. I enjoy his playing and how humble he is about it. GO PETE!

[@charlesstephens3184]

You have really helped me understand the relationship between pentatonic scales and chords in an easy to understand way. Thank you my friend.

[@brockpinson949]

You are my favorite andertons personality Pete. Thanks for the lesson buddy.

[@lperry65]

Where’s part 2, you should do this for all your backing tracks as a series. Very informative, entertaining and a pleasure to watch 👍

[@cgavin1]

10:00 This is a great chord progression to teach someone how to mix up major and minor pents to get a much more dynamic sound. For me it wasn't until I felt comfortable doing that, that I really started to feel like I could make music! :)

[@pcau]

Please shoot more of these Sir! You are a great communicator and an inspiration to keep working at it. Thanks!

[@MartinBaldock]

Thanks Pete

[@BCguitar75]

Just hit record and print the CD....I could listen to this for days. Thank you for the impact you are making in the guitar world community!

[@fernandonichols7168]

Very nice touch with the minor on the five chord! Beautiful playing 👍

[@bcccangel]

Pete is my favorite player at Andertons.....also that purple cs tele sounds amazing

[@MatiaIsHim]

Hi Pete...been waiting for part 2!! Thanks!

[@vernonhoover1387]

Very helpful.you rock pete!

[@sl.is.google]

What a nice morning, acoustic guitar, black coffee, Danish bacon and Danish Pete. That rig sounds sweet man and as always some well measured playing... Sorted!!!

[@jesussavesrick]

Sounds incredible. Licks, guitar, amp...amazing. And actually THE BEST smooth jazz instruction I have ever seen.

[@richardrust9532]

Excellent lesson! Love the tone out of that Tele.

[@TheGamers-mc7zz]

Best guitar player in KZbin!!!!!

[@rdjones97439]

Pete you have such a great feel it is a joy to watch and listen to you play!

[@hazwillett]

So grateful that I found Andertons vids during Covid.. been such a overwhelming and depressing year! I’m going to get myself a Tele for Christmas! Cheers Pete!!

[@scottw9732]

That was awesome, Pete. Thanks.

[@corinbishop]

Thanks Pete! Just super, simple, understandable and fun. Cheers dude. More please!

[@BrySquatch]

[@jimmcguinness7977]

Excellent lesson which unlocked many doors. Thanks mate

[@jayfeser5259]

Thanks Pete.

[@kevdennis4884]

Thanks Pete. This video was very helpful. You make it look easy, and then show us how easy it really is, if you break it down. Looking forward to the next installment.

[@DefaultName-yl2jw]

Thank you very much for the free lesson, Mr. Honore, it's much appreciated

[@carloslluva8119]

Thank you so very much for this delightful piece of guitar playing and teaching. Fantastic lesson!!!

[@Itaivarochik]

Pete "Smooth" Honoré. Much Appreciated man!

[@1973larryrichardson]

Thanks Pete! I have been challenging myself playing along with your backing tracks. I believe they cause me to get out of my comfort zone and think differently tonally and melodically. These tracks are a treasure.

[@Rich_G22]

This was so great it had me reaching for my guitar .... but I forgot I had major shoulder surgery and can’t play for 6-9 months. Made me forget I couldn’t play! Awesome video Pete!

[@tombain5665]

I agree with all the previous comments, and yes you were definetely in a really nice articulate laid back zone. Easy to enjoy and learn from. It would be great if you could do more of the same maybe dial it back a little for the kess skilled maybe to talk about phrasing. And dial it forward of course for those better players out there, not me!

[@MatiaIsHim]

Very nice demonstration Pete. Keep them coming. Thank you.

[@GratefulGoose54]

So awesome! Thank you

[@sl.is.google]

Perfect video for the morning coffee Pete :)

[@duncan1386]

Pete- Love your approach to teaching! keeping it simple and approachable at first but then ends up being sophisticated and spicy! Your chord sequences are wonderful

[@ernestfriends4535]

This is a real lesson in how to play tastefully and make those notes count against the rhythm. You need to listen to yourself. Thanks Pete and Anderton's!

[@barrynelson8752]

Very nice and educational! You are a joy to watch and listen to..

[@alfgwahigain5544]

Pete - thanks for this. That video with the new THR amps somehow was the first I learned of your backing tracks collections, and I loved that first jam over this track - so I ended up buying all four collections. To anyone who's interested, they are all great, excellent quality and the variety is fantastic. Lots of different keys, moods and feels to practice with. I just got a Vox Adio (which is a fantastic, fun practice amp - that I'm really impressed with) and they sound great streamed through that, also. I tend to think of things like you - major or minor pentatonic - and then I try to add in some of the "other" notes for flavor. My problem is that I struggle with sounding the same all the time. What I appreciate most about your playing is your melodicism and feel. I think that's a simple lesson that is easy to forget when we start grooving - melody and feel - and a "call & response" approach is handy when running out of ideas. This was a really great lesson and very helpful. Your playing is mesmerizing and just watching and listening to you teaches so much. Keep up the good work. You have been a fantastic addition to the Anderton's team.

[@alexgu9606]

So nice! Relaxing jam)))
