Hi to everyone commenting "too hard, not well explained, not understandable etc.": Sometimes there are things you don't understand immediately but eventually will. That is called learning. And you'll learn much more, if you think yourself a little, reapeat the lesson a couple of times and find out some things yourself. I found it also difficult and challenging, but in a pleasant way. We are given tools and it's normal we don't know directly how to use them with perfection. P.S. Obviously it's partly over my head aswell, since I'm hardly an intermediate player with zero impro skills.;)

Either this, or you´re at a level that is not suited for this video. If it´s the latter, you should realize there should be videos too for people who are at different points in the learning process. What you could do for example is look up what a pentatonic scale is, and just learn the first shape I was playing!
@idontneedthisplease6 жыл бұрын
Yes, you can. Just use other frets of the remaining strings. May be tricky to move your hand however. Also you can play whatever scale you want even on 1 string.

That's exactly right. There is nothing wrong with not yet being ready for some lessons! Myself, I should be at this level already, I've only too often lurked my way around all sorts of theory. :P That despite I know some stuff from my piano years, but have forgotten most of it. But I realized it helps immensly in learning about harmonics and composing. So today I've spent a couple of hours around those positions and try & error. Thanks to you I guess ;) Btw, keep up the excellent playing, video work and your humble attitude and well, in fact everything!

@synisternil8s7674 жыл бұрын
@@Floydandsome ok first you need to understand that basic major and minor chords consists of 3 notes (arpegios), so the CAGED system is basically ment to help you in finding your arpegios in the scale. If you learn all the notes on the first 2 strings (thick) you basically can improvise over every major or minor chord. All you need to know is 1 major and 1 minor scale shape were the root note is the first note played. Exemple if the chord you need to play over is a c you need to locate it on the thick string and improvise with that same scale. If it then changes to Am find the a and improvise in the minor scale. I once saw a video the art of guitar made about it where he keeps it real simple you should check it out PS ( i am french so sorry if my vocabulary is not the best )

My playing has jumped ahead by years in just a short period of time thanks to your lessons, and you helping me to find the value of CAGED to organize information. I finally feel free on the fretboard, to move around and play like I never thought possible. Thanks, Paul!

Finally! I can’t tell you how hard it is to find a lesson on this. Look at a full fretboard pentatonic scale and compare it to a full fretboard diagram of major and minor arpeggios. They align. Each of the 5 caged pent shapes contain a major and it’s relative minor arpeggio. So if you master the 5 shapes you can use them to play chord tones/triads for any major or minor chord in any position. This is next level! Thank you Paul

Great video Paul! Very helpful. I've been messing with pentatonic scales for decades, and learned some of the other positions just by trial and error before I found out there are basically 5 positions for each pentatonic scale. For some of you having trouble with this video, you need to learn your basic pentatonic scales, and figure things out for yourself, like: C#min pentatonic is the same as E maj pentatonic. Each min scale has a relative maj scale. Most people learn the first position of the scale and never go beyond that. There are 5 positions. But start with position #1 and get the hang of that. And if you want to go deeper, Scott Henderson has some great videos where he is playing different pentatonic scales over what seems like non-matching chords. Like playing a C# min pentatonic over a B min chord. Mind blowing what you can do with just the pentatonic scale!

Paul David is a fine musician and far better than me - as I am a songwriter and lyricist rather than a great guitarist. That said, this video is not for people unless they can already really grasp it based on things they already know. It's well, well worth watching and coming back to in the future if 'where you are' at present is not at the same level. If you ARE at that level it really is very helpful. The main thing about it is that is shows you where you are meant to be going. That's certainly not something any of us should not be grateful for. It certainly does hold some lead 'thinking' gems in it if you take the time to sift through it. I learned a long time ago (when I took up electronics with zero initial maths skills) that I should get a series of different books that moved me on from what I ALREADY knew. I'd say, check out Pauls other stuff, find the one that is at your level, and when you have sorted out how to practically use the info, keep moving forward to the next level. Remember that NOBODY ever gets to the top level - It doesn't exist in music. I thank Paul very much for all this great free tuition and wish him well in his career. Jules

Horizontal and vertical playing is a key technique to mastering shred guitar. The best scale runs and licks involve starting in a scale pattern as a vertical box and sliding down the neck horizontally

Glad I watched this, it's reminded me how I need to focus on the vertical and learn different positions more.

Every now and then I come across a video that talks about something that I thought to try when i practice and it makes me really hopeful for where i am going to be able to take myself as a musician I had no idea that doing this was called something before I watched this video but I've been practicing it for the last year or so every time something I try on my instrument and someone puts what I did into words it broadens my understanding of the consept drastically thank you

Fantastic lesson. I took the time to diagram it out per the scales shown and it makes absolute sense. Just unlocked a whole new level of understanding. Thank you Paul!

Honestly my best advice would be to put on a backing track on KZbin and play the pentatonic box shape in that key. It really helps with creativity within a restricted area

A way that I like to explain this to students is like this... Use the relative minor pentatonic scale of whatever key the song is in and then simply highlight the ROOT notes of the chord changes, sticking to the SAME minor pentatonic scale the entire time. This is a great starting point for beginning players. As they progresses they can then highlight the 3rd, 5th and even the 7th of each chord in the song for added color. If you know the FIVE pentatonic shapes and you apply this method you are pretty much golden. To take it to a more JAZZY LEVEL, slide in and out of the CHORD TONES using CHROMATICS or the in-between notes.

I, IV, V. That is all you have to know. For example C major scale have C major (I) F major (IV) and G major (V) scale. Also C major scale have C major pentatonic (I), F major pent (IV) and G major pent (V). In C major scale are also A minor pent (VI), D minor pent (II) and E minor pent (III). VII is a bit special.

I can follow most of what this fellow is saying because I've been studying the Minor Pentatonic scale and how to apply the Circle of 4ths/5ths to it to be able to play in any key on any part of the fretboard. Look up Ross Campbell's Bullet Proof Guitar course on Udemy.
@adonaimorales35606 жыл бұрын
freesk8 i suggest you learn the chords of the major scale. Play with some progressions and plug their respected scales in and just think about what you’re playing. It can be hectic at first, but you’ll find stuff like this more digestible.

how do you find the corresponding pentatonic scale for each scale degree?
@Zepla5 жыл бұрын
It really comes down to memory and just being able to visualize the scale. When it comes to pentatonic, usually you want to stick to a single mode which is usually Aeolian which is just a minor pentatonic and you can just simply play around that.

I was 23 and had been playing guitar for ten years, knew all the chords I thought I needed but didn't know how to play solos until a teacher at Linda's Music Mart at Asquith showed me this pentatonic scale. Man it was a breath of fresh air and I was away. Still can't play for shit I'm 68 but at least I know where I'm heading.

Thanks Paul Davids. I didn't really understand what scales are, but thanks to the video I can improvise with appreggios and chords. So I can now play what sounds good.
