[@joeschultz74]

Great video. Love how you’re showing us what to do with skills rather than just show the skills. And good to see you using a different guitar.

[@BorisBidjanSaberi11]

Joining your patron has taken my guitar from a 5 to a 9, just thank you so much

Pentatonic is the core, has been since age thirteen when my classically minded guitar teacher did some blues noodling during a tea break and I, bored of learning classical numbers I had no connection too (I was a Rhythm & Blues nut from a very early age), said TEACH ME THAT!!! And when, some time later after playing bass in bands, playing by ear with just the pentatonic as my main tool, someone taught me the theory of relative minors, well that was another lightbulb moment that took my playing to another level. Its been a love/not so in love (I wouldn't go so far as to say hate) affair as I fall into the common pentatonic dead ends of repetition that so many players seem to go through with it, the pentatonic continues to be ever omni-present. Over the last couple of years I have been learning modal playing and scales and even then I'll be practicing say a Dorian mode and suddenly I'll be like, 'Oh theres the pentatonic pattern, nestled in the scale patterns. When it comes to our friend the Pentatonic, it seems you can run, but you can't hide 😂😉

[@MileHighGrowler]

Over 20 years with the pentatonic (minor and major) and still finding new ways to use it. This lesson was enlightening and inspiring as always, Rotem!

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

🙏💙

[@timtsagli1610]

2 years, and still exploring the scale. Thanks for lighting some head bulbs in my head, I just love your delivery ❤🎸

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Thanks!! 🙏

[@RemyLuciani]

Arpegios on penta are dope, thanks guys!

[@fran6b]

Fun fact, I learned the blues scale in a random guitar magazine when I was about 10. That moment started my improvisation journey. For many years, I didn't knew what a pentatonic was. So to me, + 30 years later, a pentatonic is still the blues scale without the extra note. I still use all that stuff a lot. It's in my colour palet, no mistake.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Love it!!

[@1billedwards]

I first learned the pentatonic scale in 1975. Been using it ever since. I use it a lot as a sort of benchmark for other modes and scales.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Deep.

[@MohaiminulIslamra]

This is so confirming and eye-opening at the same time! Thanks a bunch

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

❤️❤️❤️

[@abcrx32j]

Learned the pentatonic scale in my early days of playing like most of us, but crossed it out as the rock/blues sound i don't want to hear anymore. It wasn't until I got into jazz last year that i started to see how versatile it actually is and since i suck at alternate picking, the 2ntp was annoying so i tried ways to play it with hybrid picking and economy picking, quickly changing centers is still hard for me, but level 4 is definitely something i want to achieve

[@manvendrarawat1758]

Thanks Rotem, Can you also do a video on pentatonic modes? Would love to see your perspective on that.

[@flapamziz6867]

40+ years all 5 note scales seem to be the most natural and home for all human beings :)

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

❤️❤️❤️

[@hugoedstrom9215]

Hey Rotem! Why is it that Em works over this progression?

[@angeljavier9541]

Tengo algún tiempo que exploro con pentatonicas 3 o 4 años y siempre me parece fresca , colorida , divertida con lo cual nunca me canso de hacerla soñar . Me gustó ese diálogo entre vosotros con cromatismos .. 🤩👏🏼

[@wilbertmurry6570]

Lots of good sounds and information. Rotem, what’s the make and model of the guitar you are playing?

[@Cooltorpedo]

Knowing the scale, its spreading on the fretboard and noodling around, more than five years. Being able to make cool music using it, not there yet.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

I hear ya!

[@sixpenske1940]

Wow i am so glad i watched the 60 cycle hum namm you tube party video this lead me to your channel and i love these ideas that can broaden my playing thank you and i am subscribed and will be watching and liking alot more of your videos!! almost forgot to answer your question it was the first scale i learned and probably played it exclusively way to long i would say almost 30 yrs now using the pentatonic scale.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Oh wow! Haven't see it yet! Thanks!!

[@DirkRadloff]

Great lesson, I wonder how much of your pick is visible, since many teachers advice to play only with the tip, and most players let only the tip be visible.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Mmm. Lemme think

[@hendrik7881]

"how long do you play pentatonics?" Me: " For EVER "

[@IgalBeatfulness]

Beautiful lesson & Beautiful playing Opened my barely-intermediate level guitar mind to a bunch of new possibilities I could immediately put to play @level 4 you lost me completely, but i enjoyed it as a listener :)

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

❤️❤️❤️

[@martyh1290]

Hi Rotem, I felt in love with your guitar. What brand and model is it? Thank you:)

[@QobelD]

Rotem, ur solo was kill! Those chromatics were too smooth. 🙉 loved it

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

🙏🙏

[@paulbreaux909]

Rotem, Would another way to look at this be to add the F and B of the A nat minor into your playing?

[@M0M...]

So good

[@ClaudioBrogliato]

I picked up the guitar recently after many years and I'm trying to use the pentatonic.as a building block and then attach colourful notes.

[@JP-lq5og]

What is the brand of the red guitar??

[@stevehughes975]

About 40 years! Back then I did not know it was called that, it just sounded ...right?

[@BigLoveBigBand]

The phrase at 6:31 blew my pants off.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Lolz

[@archinsoni1254]

What I don't understand is how to use chromatic notes. Not that I am at all in all modes of Harmonic minor Harmonic major and melodic minor but even the modes I'm familiar with it becomes very chaotic when I try to change scales over chord changes. Anyways I love your videos.

[@thedragonofthewest5789]

i leanred it like 8 months ago but playing for like 3 months

[@permarshall]

might introudce us 2 your polite friend @ the start

[@domenicosorrentino1972]

I love your approach to the music but I would like you to make a video on functional theory. I mean how to write a solo. I mean how it happens in the study of classical music. I don't think anyone cares about why to do a thing and not just how. I mean how the melody has to relate to the harmony. That would be a tremendous lesson in guitar theory that no one has ever done.

[@chrissguitarshow206]

The way a pentatonic scale is used in jazz is so different than the way it is used in rock

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Truth

[@januszwu973]

you play pentatonics and its sound jazzy. how is it possible?

[@TheMitchellHarris]

Love your channel but was waiting for you to introduce your guest - didn’t happen unfortunately - suggest doing so

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

It was at the end 🙏

[@JeffCloutier]

Wait! There is more to guitar than pentatonic?

[@estebansuarezmarenzi1135]

years 😁

[@yaroslavshevtsiv]

10 years for sure. It was not easy to transit into other than first shape as in the key of Eminor with the open strings

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

I feel you!

[@yaroslavshevtsiv]

@@RotemSivanGuitar and yes! scales are important! They just work always well on you when you practice them.

[@hfrankbrown]

Learned pentatonic scale in 1982.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Very cool

I love your videos in general, but I found this one hard to follow. Like most guitarists, I know my pentatonic rock and blues and country scales very well all over the neck, but I still found it hard to get some of the faster licks in this video, especially the ones that contain non-pentatonic notes or where the chords, and hence lead patterns change so quickly from one brto the next that it s hard tell just what you are playing over the new chords and why. In general though, it is a fine video like all of the others, For me to get much of use from it would require me either to have the tabs for it if they exist or play the video through very slowly and stop at each point where I miss something and try to work out each riff while stopping and replaying and stopping etc.for each riff I can get at once. but the later is really a rather tedious way to try to learn things, so I would probably just go to another video with tabs. Keep up your great work!!

Niccce.

[@bobsegar1242]

I try not to play it, lol. i try to do chord tones mostly so i can really develop chord structure all over the board, like a pianist.

[@bobsegar1242]

but appraoching pentatonics as morphs and inversions makes me want o pull them back out again.
