Pentatonic Scale Shredding | How To Come Up With Cool Licks!

[@Bernthguitar]

Today's topic: pentatonic scale shredding! I show you a little practical example and some of my methods on how to come up with cool licks in this context. Practice backing track, tabs and Guitar Pro files are online on www.patreon.com/bernth :)

[@Tridebeshs]

Almost all my life I've been playing with the minor scale and the minor pentatonic scale... Just with variations... And I did discover this a long ago.. And this technique really helps to build up some awesome sounding stuffs from basic scales..thanks for making a video on this

What is your guitar model? Thanks,

[@kevinolson1710]

[@adityamazumdar3242]

Love from India bro. you have no idea how much major impact your videos have all around the world

[@MetalThrashingMan13]

I tried watching another youtubers video on this and they talked for like the first 4 or 5 minutes before showing an example. Your video is 100% better, new subscriber \m/

[@whitewalker608]

Best tutorial for Pentatonic on KZbin. Period. Much love from India bro.

[@steven_marque_official_channel]

Your superimposed notes on top of your fingers is magnificent to players like me who do not have the fretboard memorized effortlessly. Thanks!

[@8861mario1]

Everytime I see you play something inspires me to grab my guitar and play aswell, I appreciate your patience the trait of a great teacher... Thanks!

[@motafov]

i love it when awesome players are also great teachers and master rhetoricians who can articulate sentences as brilliantly as they can blaze on the fretboard (its equally cool to listen to people who have a thick accent speak english more fluently than a harvard professor). i just stumbled upon this video accidentally but something tells me i'm going to spend the entire weekend checking out this channel !

[@Bernthguitar]

Thank you for the super kind comment, that makes my day :) Happy you enjoy the content on here!

[@daveg1208]

You are a great teacher. There are a lot of teachers on KZbin but I think you are best. Thank you.

[@Bernthguitar]

That really honors me a lot Dave, thanks for the kind feedback! :)

[@kunalchoubey8856]

He is so educating man....one of the best teachers in the world rn

[@Aaronius_Maximus]

You are the master of editing all this information into less than 10 min videos. These work so well to use for my practice time every day too. Looking forward to starting your course soon Bernth thanks again for another awesome video! :)

[@Bernthguitar]

Thank you Christopher, so great to hear that you will be working with the lesson topics in your practice routine :)

[@billwebb4776]

Bernth puts almost every guitarist out there to shame. Amazing shredder and great teacher.

[@2gigahijau]

Great guitarist Great teacher and humble human being thank you man!!

[@bozhidarpopov]

You are a great teacher and you are inspiring me to become a professional one day, keep the great work! Sehr gut gemacht !

[@fredrohrbacher582]

Thank You Bernth, all the way from Phoenix Arizona, USA. I appreciate your slowing down the shred to show the simplicity and thereby putting the ability to shred in the hands of everyone.

[@georeed62]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us I've been playing 45 yearsare you know the meaning of the brick walls you are helping me knock them down brick by brick thank you ever so much you're helping me go to places I only dreamed of you have my deepest gratitude my brother!!!!!!

[@darkelf369]

How could I not subscribe to a guy who has great guitar lessons and his very name contains the word Bro

[@Bernthguitar]

That comment made my day, welcome Thomas! :)

[@manuinjapan]

Honestly as an advanced player myself these exercises are absolutely great! I usually just do whatever I want and don't bother much with lessons on youtube but your videos, the lenght and how you do them is absolutely perfect. 10/10 amazing work dude!

[@Bernthguitar]

That's so great to hear, thanks for the kind feedback :) Happy that you like the structure and content of the lessons!

[@EclecticEssentric]

I find you above my skill grade, but I always get something out of it. You're moving up the list of folk I like, so... I subscribed. Have a beautiful day!

[@ferociouspterodactyl520]

This has to be one of my favorite licks on this channel. Gonna take a few days to get this down, a few weeks to get it up to speed.

[@chanceperez5038]

Man, you deserve hundreds of thousands of subscribers! Great lesson 👏 very helpful

[@garylisbon8933]

Hi Bernth! I am a new subscriber. Glad I found you. Been back playing again for 2 years now after an unfortunate hand surgery left me unable to play for many years . Doing things right this time around and teaching my self theory also. Something I should've done long ago. Great lesson! If there is one thing I absolutely love is awesome patterns! Thank you for this! Well time to get at it!!!

[@sambhavjainn._]

Dude, you're obviously a great guitar player, but at the same time, you're a great person. Hats off to you man, you deserve more ❤

[@MrSWANDADDY]

Brilliant again, taking a simple concept and fleshing it out while making it totally edible and digestible for any guitarist. Good stuff, BTW...Right now the post has 443 likes with ZERO thumbs down...Almost unheard of.

[@enricosalvatore5231]

Awesome instructional vid! Love the look and sound of your Giger Ibanez, too.

[@toddplymale5359]

Hi, Bernth Thanks for the lesson. I see guitar players doing tapping technique like that all the time, but I wasn't sure what they were really doing. And your lesson cleared that up for me. I found it to be very helpful. I have already been working on pentatonic scale in my scale book here at home this week, and when I seen this lesson I had to check it out. I really like the way you show the tabs and dot markers, it really helps to follow along. The Ibanez guitar you use is really hard to follow on, but the dot markers make up for that. I really like that guitar by the way. It awesome! Thanks Again Todd P.

[@ozeanaudio265]

I'm super stoked to have found your channel! I really dig the way you explain and show your examples! Excellent work bro! I'm looking forward to learning and expanding my playing from your awesome lesson structure! Thanks for your teaching styles and approaches... Thanx from California!

[@Bernthguitar]

Thank you very much, welcome to the channel - happy you enjoy the videos! :)

[@ciryusthemodernmarvel]

Love you man I been learning a lot! Thank you

[@sarahcampos6198]

I am really interesting in your course!! I've never had any interest on any online course until I've found your channel, I need to save money and maybe in one year I'll be able to pay it!!!

[@treeslayer2275]

Attitude and personality is 🔥 Good video and lesson

[@FlacasClips]

Man this guy turned me into a shred god in 1 year ❤️

[@marcospizarro7890]

bro is so good even the "cliche" licks were impressive to me

[@logicnotfeelings3835]

I'm a 55 yr. old fart and, no, I don't shred. But I still very much enjoyed your playing and very articulate, easy to understand instruction. Well done.

[@akshaymnag8576]

We need a video on what are the theory materials needed for a beginner and where to start. You’re doing a great job man Thanks

[@jordanc.a4456]

Brooo soy de Perú y tus vídeos están siendo de lo mejor que he podido ver en toda mi vida :D sigue así gracias por enseñarnos lo mejor que sabes hacer

[@manny75586]

Great lick and discussion. The funny thing when people shit on pentatonic scales and I ask if they like Dimebag they rarely realize he was almost all pentatonic and blues shred. Rusty Cooley plays tons of pentatonic shred too. It’s a very versatile scale especially if there are a lot of complex harmonies underlying it.

[@mirokuusjarvik3439]

Dave mustaine too :D

[@blindrommello6747]

Just new here ,and found lot of helpful tips.....thank you very much.....

[@dreamsmusicstudioproject9338]

Thank you...🤘

[@tcrane8630]

Fantastic lesson and wonderful explanations.. Subscribed

[@nitesh_narayan]

Ur lessons are awesome...Plzz make more lessons on shredding and improvisation

[@jamiee172]

Wow, that lick at 3:38 is awesome! Show me how that's done!

[@MarkHammermeister]

Dude awesome video. Subscribed!

[@droidfan]

First of all, Great lesson! I loved the fact that the slow version reminded me of the Airwolf theme song haha

[@timothy5974]

Bernth! Thank you for another inspiring lesson. I have spent so much time on 3nps patterns that pentatonic were never explored. But now I will take your lead on 3nps pentatonic shred. I agree with another viewer,your channel is one of the best in my subs. Thanx and I may soon become either a patron or a shred method purchased member. Not sure which is best for me. Thank you very much.

[@Gjo1784]

You are doing a great job on your channel Bernth. I find your lessons very useful. Keep up the good work. I recommend everyone to subscribe 🤘🤘

[@GeraldGGGGG]

[@burnsanchez]

Soo good man, keep up the great work 👊😎

[@bcmuana]

Nice lesson.. subscribed

[@Niamreg888]

This is amazing. The video production makes it very clear to understand what's going on, but more importantly, you actually explain you thought process for each section, a lesson that helps even more than just showing the lick. Excellent, cheers from Brazil!

[@jasoncrump1886]

Love that guitar man . Its killer looking.

[@emrearslan6572]

I really liked your channel, keep it going. The only advise is increase the number of licks in videos

[@Oron354]

Hi sir bernth.. i really want to thank you for online lessons coz i really learned lot.. can i ask favor? Please show us how to play Cross off by mark morton with tabs? I really like this song.. thank you so much.. more power!

[@DatKundalini]

Thank you!

[@DizzyKrissi]

It's also a matter of the size of your hand - the stretch for 3 nps pentatonic required is very awkward for medium sized hands.

[@PaulKingMetal]

Super lick! I'm going to learn it.😉👍

[@noriaky7135]

Thanks for this video Godbless

[@izdou1]

Love the videos dude! Do you think you could do a few videos of solo tutorials? Cuz you are a good teacher 😉🤘

[@vkingsstudio4587]

After minor pentatonic scale what should I learn next

[@theSpakksen]

Amazing! Subscribed! :D

[@kennysjamshack2410]

I have 12 guitars but my beat up old Ibanez still sounds the best. Dam I wish I could play that fast. One day hopefully

[@dougarnold7955]

1:00 in. Okay, I'm going to subscribe to your channel. Thanks. Wow, great lesson! I love Pentatonic. ...but I like Metal too so this is really good. What do you think of this... I've been experimenting with splitting the Locrian mode into two separate pent scales...in C major one pent being BDEFA (return to octave) and the second being BCDFG (return to octave). It seems to work well giving sound that rests solidly in the seventh mode and works well with the chords I build from each respective pents. It gives two distinctly different sounds to the Locrian. What do you think of this and maybe have you ever seen others do something along this line. Thanks.

[@Bernthguitar]

Hello Doug! Thanks a lot for sharing your concept, great to hear about that! Mixing the system of heptatonic scales with pentatonic scales is a great idea and I'd love to hear a composition of yours where you utilize these patterns! I made a long lesson about modal pentatonics on Patreon a couple months ago and will definitely feature this topic on here again too - thanks for the input and for sharing your approach :)

[@Hanuman-d5o]

U r awesome n yr lesson r. Very helpful

[@amarparki7546]

You are awasome Bossssssssss

[@jayprakashmahant5003]

Love from india love from jay sir ji I m big fan of u..🙏😍😘🎸

[@TheSaintedOne]

Dimebag only used pentatonics. We're in good company, boys. Watch it go.

[@JackR845]

Domination?

[@stratostheologou1889]

Not true at all...

[@cereallukas256]

Saint Sacrifice You clearly haven’t listened to dimebag. He used way more scales than just the minor pentatonic

[@brandonivey1651]

He definitely didn’t only use Pentatonics. I hear a lot of Hexatonic, minor, and chromatics in his playing Edit: Dave Mustaine only knows pentatonics though, aside from some chromatics he throws in

[@Thijscube]

@@brandonivey1651 he uses a lot of phyrigan dominant in the last wake up dead solo

[@oniiwave]

Thank you from Russia

[@wadeblake9876]

Geiger ibanez?? Awesome
