Minor Pentatonic Scale AUTOPSY (CAGED system Octaves)

[@ipsofacto6864]

If someone understands it, they can explain it simply. Which means they are a good teacher. You are indeed one.

[@axslinger99]

There's a quote by Albert Einstein, paraphrasing, "If you can't explain it to a 5th grader then you probably don't understand it yourself". Very true! And Ricky is great at explaining stuff.

[@لالهوةإلالهوتي]

Thank you for teaching where the notes lie to one another on the fretboard. Many teachers focus on chord shapes as a first step which didn’t work for me at all.

[@78tag]

I've seen a lot of diagrammed CAGED forms and PENTATONIC scales but rarely has anyone done anything but verbally assign the values. I know, after some time screwing around with them, that most of the confusion and misunderstanding has come from not learning the intervals. I have heard them described before but it never stuck because there was no picture in my mind of them. I am enthused that the CAGED OCTAVES and the identified INTERVALS on the same diagram are starting give me a feel for all of this. Now the work begins - get this stuff in my head and under my fingers. Now that I can see why notes sound right/wrong looking at your diagrams I can have some fun "playing" instead of it just being WORK! I am finally able to put my time on the 6 banger to good use (adding lots of notes to the diagrams and cross referencing the lessons in your book - very useful). Thanks for helping to re-light the fire. ....... btw - if I ever feel like I have completed cross referencing the lessons I might have to send you a copy.

Ricky! I’m am learning so much from your lessons. Things that I didn’t even know that I wanted to know.

[@rickysguitar]

“Needed to know” Matt. I only teach the stuff you need to know.

[@johnmattvain5927]

Probably the best beginner series on KZbin ever (among the tons of teacher series out there) ... And Definitely the most underrated ..

[@mikehussey5682]

You sure have a way of making the hard stuff sound easy. I've only subscribed to you about a week ago. Ive learnt so much from your videos. Safe to say the best tutor on you tube, at explaining theory and making it fun too. Keep up the good work. I among probably many others, appreciate the time and effort you have made. Thank you.

[@jasonlight8813]

I've said it before but it's worthy of another mention, fantastic channel. You're head and shoulders above other guitar channels.

[@timemerson2691]

Thanks Ricky. I’m glad you are doing these videos. It helps to know your way around.

[@paulwood2979]

Hi Ricky Looked the caged on system on utube many time and never really understood it.Bought you book a few days ago and now it all makes sense.How it fits in with the minor pentatonic is an amazing bonus. Many thanks Paul

[@mrbadiuzzaman]

After going through several similar lessons on your channel ending up with this today it all makes sense.This is the best comprehensive autopsy of the minor pentatonic in terms of its relations with intervals and how those in turn relate the oft quoted CAGED mnemonics for guitar. You're the true Guru who never tires at imparting your hard earned knowledge to all those lost souls. Keep doing what you're doing. This particular lesson used technology very well that I didn't have to squint to follow your pencil on paper illustration this time 🤪.Thank you very much Sir 🙏

[@jsmcdon1]

Excellent lesson as always. I learn so much from you. Hope you and your family are all well and safe. Thank you so much for these lessons. Cheers!

[@MJayeG]

I'm continuously stunned and beautifully amazed...you are truly gifted. Well done.🎉

[@Tenpoints777]

From Cleveland Ohio, Just wanted to say - Awesome content as usual ! Keep on keeping on brother

[@christopherlombardo1572]

Fantastically clear, concise and utilitarian!! Thanks

[@thunderace4588]

Thank you for making this great little lesson for us Ricky.

[@phillewis7080]

Really glad this dropped into my feed! Nicely explained, mate!

[@rickysguitar]

Stoked you got it Phil! Thanks for watching buddy

[@Paul-vb8op]

Just stumbled across you Ricky, but Ive found your lessons some of the best explained on you tube, I’ve subscribed and will certainly be checking in regularly

[@curtishutchins1224]

Ding Ding Ding Ding! Wow! You mean to tell me all these shapes make up the pentatonic scale...... Mind blown!

[@douglaspaslay1008]

I like the way you explain you're lessons

[@jwilkinson341]

Great lesson Ricky, was not aware of this, I knew you can slide up or down the neck using that shape and get the different chords but did not realise each shape is within one patteren

[@tracylaven7020]

The caged octave never made sense, now they do. Thanks Ricky

[@KayakCampingOffGrid]

Killer tutorial AGAIN Ricky! Brother Man, the CAGED principal was another illusive idea that I found useless before now! Just simply awesome is what you're lessons are... Explains stuff in a simple way, and yet that's meaningful too. Thanks so much!

[@rickysguitar]

Cheers Rob! CAGED is an amazing tool for connecting the dots! More CAGED lessons coming! Thanks for watching and commenting :)

[@huntingwithrip]

Ricky thank you so much I’m 60 and working with you to build my dream! When you get these scales what do we do with them? I’m needing to figure out how to use the scales. I bought your book you have my attention. You are here.the best teacher on you tube!

[@MajorUpgrade]

Thanks Ricky! Sorry I missed the live, but I enjoyed it and learned a few things!

[@InsolentMusicalPeasant]

Amazing lesson. Crazy how it all comes together like that. Thanks for making it so easy to understand!

[@chrisbrodbeck1961]

Cheers Rick, as always I'm blown away. Brilliant!

[@chrisbrodbeck1961]

So basically we can add a b5 to all the shapes...

[@rickysguitar]

Yup and BOOM! you have a minor blues scale!

[@jeffrymiekevanoort3953]

As ever, a very well explained lesson!

[@usmana5578]

Never before understood the concept like now. 👍 thnx man

[@jwilkinson341]

You will be 100K soon

[@anthonykinrade8642]

Excellent depiction. Never seen this described this way before...

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

Another great video. I’m learning so much from your channel, and I really appreciate it.

[@samstella2345]

Great explanation; easy to understand.

[@MoeJoe974]

Thank you so much, it makes a lot of sense to me and adds to my understanding

[@EnglishVeteran]

Excellent Ricky! Thank you.

[@alanroberts997]

Great lesson Rick. Al

[@nyacoustics8373]

Great lesson. Thanks

[@larrelscott3014]

Fantastic lesson 😅

[@sergio3713]

This was beautiful!

[@williamweiss3620]

Hello Ricky, thank you for the wonderful lessons. I happened on to one of your lessons a week ago and now your the only teacher that I will ever watch because of the way you teach. I was wondering if you know about Sweetwater Sound in Fort Wayne Indiana? The buying experience is the best the USA has to offer. Love you all. Bill

[@rickysguitar]

I’d love to check it out but it’s a trek from the UK lol. I’m always up for a visit to a guitar store!

[@williamweiss3620]

@@rickysguitar you can get online and check Sweetwater Sound out. I think you might be impressed. The customer service is truly above all the rest. Thanks again for helping me learn the right way. Love you all. Bill

[@michaeldavies7364]

Thank you Ricky, that was very interesting

[@mikecuttone2550]

Thank you so much this was a ahaa moment for me and it is greatly appreciated 🙏

[@curtishutchins1224]

Truly amazing, I'm really interested to see how this plays out in other scales.... I've seen similar charts before but it's never been linked up this way visually. So smart. I suppose this all works because cage is built from the scale/4th intervals. who knew!

[@tjukkv]

I'm new to your channel but loving it. Very informative.

[@dothazlin6215]

Thank you. Very educational. Well done.

[@LocalMarksFishing]

Awesome. Thankyou.

[@TheScotty121]

sorry i missed the live video again . this is what i need help with , i feel like im not progressing anywhere .

[@capbubba]

Great lessons,thanks for sharing, keep on keeping on 👍👍👍

[@Angfranman]

Awesome work!

[@michaelkneale3825]

Brilliant! Thanks

[@RobKL2008]

Hi Ricky I love your video's they are informative and into details.I learn so much out of it. Thanks so much.. My question What whiteboard do u use in this video. It's so cool. I would love to have it too. Could you let me know. Much appreciated. Rob

[@RobKL2008]

found the answer in the comments, so sorry to have bothered. All the Best Ricky

[@WytseZ]

See you later Ricky, great stuff!

[@gusdogbrownlab435]

Great!

[@dbucher5740]

Not seeing the pdf you were going to put up. Thanks Ricky!

[@rickysguitar]

Ah! It's in the description but here's a link bit.ly/pentatonicautopsy

[@alanroberts997]

Hey Ricky, could you make a video on the caged system for dummies like me, coz I still don’t get it. Al🤪

[@davidlegalley1161]

Excellent lesson Ricky! Finally starting to understand the true value of C A G E D chords & Intervals. Thank you. What graphic software program are you using for your diagrams?

[@rickysguitar]

Eyup David! I use affinity designer for all my graphics. Adobe got too expensive

[@davidleungaxiom3491]

Great instructor. I really got a lot from you other videos. There is one question I would like to know from you : Could I use C major pentatonic box 1 pattern for all the chords in the chord progression in the key of C ?

[@rickysguitar]

Yes you can. The tonal centre will shift with each chord though and you’ll get some ambiguity if you play chord IV (F) because the note F isn’t in the C Major pentatonic. It will sound “home” when you play C on C. Watch out for the tensions on the other chords. That’s usually an indicator that you need to use a different vocabulary tool, (scale/arp/interval/lick).

[@davidleungaxiom3491]

Sorry I mean the F minor box 1 pentatonic

[@emkay9508]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!! Mind blown Thank you

[@rickysguitar]

I like blowing minds!

[@juno7893]

Wow 👍🏻

[@jeffmiller2434]

I'm a little fuzzy on this concept. If the A minor pentatonic scale has no sharps or flats in it , why are the flat third and flat seventh on whole notes in your example ?

[@davidgunsser1901]

great teaching method how do i download the pdf file

[@rickysguitar]

Eyup David There’s a link in the video description

[@rickysguitar]

What device are you using to watch KZbin?

[@zaazletsgo1944]

🌹🌹🦋🌹

[@jeffmiller2434]

Sorry Ricky, I just remembered that you have to follow the formula for a minor pentatonic. WHWWWHW So if you start counting on the root that will tell you which notes to play.

[@charlygoehring6155]

I would prefer you NOT use any dirt on your guitar. I have high end hearing loss and it sounds like a can of bees. I can't pick out the individual notes.
