CHRIS, try to make a video on how to use pentatonic boxes to play out of the tonal center. What are some rule of thumbs and ground rules to play out of the tonal center using pentatonic boxes would be discussed in the video lesson.
@curiousguitarist5 ай бұрын
Cool idea. I assume you mean "outside" of the tonal center? Or not in the key? Because even within the diatonic there are pentatonic displacements that sound very sophisticated but never leave the key. Is that what you are talking about?
@waynegram89075 ай бұрын
@@curiousguitarist Both ways of using pentatonic Displacements by not leaving the key and also leaving the key. What a good rule of thumb is when using pentatonic displacements is play the out of key notes ONLY on the off beats and resolve the out of key notes using target notes on the On beats. There are Relative pentatonic displacements and also parallel pentatonic displacements which are considered not leaving the key.
@waynegram89075 ай бұрын
@@curiousguitarist Randy Rhoads would often "position shift" on different scale degrees to play relative modes and parallel modes. I read 80's mags when he was talking about this violin position shifting techniques he learned from. That would be a different lesson about you position shift on any scale degree to Insert a relative mode or parallel mode. Jazz Horn players do this all the time in the 30's to 40's while jamming after hours at clubs is position shifting. I don't think you have made a lesson about position shifting to insert relative modes or parallel modes but something to think about.

@@curiousguitarist SLASH GNR will often INSERT an out of key note "out of nowhere" in his pentatonic scale runs. If you listen to Sweet Child of mine the scalar sequencing climbs with have these inserts of out of key notes out of nowhere and also the guitar solo from paradise city also uses these inserts of out of key notes. He does them so fast but also tasty. Check out the video and really look and focus on those insert notes that are out of key out of nowhere notes that SLASH will insert into his scalar licks. I think SLASH is an advance guitarist in 87-89 doing this time so do something like this to make it sound very classic rock bluely and not fusion. CLICK HERE kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIrbl36ti653ick

Eureka! Thank you for breaking my cognitive logjam! "Triads?" Check! "Diatonic arpeggios in all qualities?" Check! "Scales in all qualities?" Check! Great, now play the changes by targeting either the third or the root of each chord with embellishments... ... ... ... Watch lots and lots of videos trying to make the process easier... .. ... ... ... ... (six months later) Sorry, would you mind repeating the instructions? Well here it is: Start with triads and once you've got that down, complicate to your cognitive limits. My entire life has been plagued with the truism "Sometimes the OBVIOUS, isn't." In his "An Essay on Man," Alexander Pope wrote "Hope springs eternal in the human breast." That is to say, we hope for the best even in adversity. Well that's what keeps me coming back to the guitar and little gems like this are cherished reminders of what makes it all worthwhile. Thank you, Chris! Your fan, Bill
