i never believed i could instant solo over track and just follow the root note and use the scale usable for that chord to it. i literally soloed 1st time in my life after watching this video and it didnt sound terrible, it sounded like music. like i was almost feeling it, i cant believe it if somebody wouldve explained this lesson to me when i was 12, i wouldve never quit quitar. there is no lesson in youtube better than this teaching quitar, i dont care what it is, this is the best video to somebody who already knows how to strum, been noodling pentatonic and wants to move on with quitar. this should been taught 3-6 months after starting quitar, real go- getters at 1-2 month after starting. you will see results INSTANTLY.

Another very instructive vid! As another comment stated, I've been playing for twenty-odd years. But as largely a "bedroom guitarist," my music theory is crap; so I always like looking at instruction videos a few steps "below" my skill level because these lessons often break things down "like I'm a 3rd grader" -- which I need -- and I often learn something new. You do a great job of doing this. When I play in a major key, my brain always maps my finger to the Is IVs & Vs of it's relative minor (first position, Am vs C, for example). Your method of using your index finger for locating the root of a minor key and pinky for major key is a very helpful way of orienting your approach based on major/minor. I will definitely be practicing this when playing in the major key. Thanks!

Holy Moses! As an entry-level guitar player hoping to become a neophyte, I've seen too many videos on scales and patterns to count. While they all deal with the same basic information, the effectiveness of the presentation (for me personally) varies widely. This is the best I can recall seeing with regards to what I really need to pay attention to and how the patterns can link together. For whatever reason, this really seemed to enhance my comprehension and help it all start to gel for me.

I knew most of these scales (finally) but the way you explain it makes it easy to follow. Once I learned the patterns by themselves, I practiced using 1-2 slides to get me into the next shape. That really helped to connect the patterns.

The intervals if manipulated within the diatonic scale contains all the others, all the chords/arpeggios for Penta (major/minor), Blues (add flat 5), 7-Modes ( learn which are the flavor intervals within each mode), 3-major, 3-minor, 1-diminished, augmented and 7's chords/arps/progressions....all this from diatonic, excluding Harmonic minor which is a new harmonic "series" of tones, learn to spell them intervallicaly within the diatonic, they're all sitting right there.😉👍

Kind or interesting that we can take the exact same scale in the exact same order, played with exact same time signature with the exact same backing tracks or other musicians .... but two different guitar players will play them with such differences. Mabey to most people might sound the same but there's nuances that make sound we produce with our instruments unique' as fingerprints. We could develop an computer program that could 'listen" to a very short piece of someone's playing and it would instantly match against recordings in storage and know exactly whoever played it. Reality of that's a trip !

Hey Brian I love your website and thank you for all your teaching. You have some unbelievably great lessons! And I love this one. But my question is is would this also work in jazz? Obviously rock pop blues country etc are more simple than jazz and I've heard you say that before. Would these 4 scales be sufficient in the jazz contest as well Like u said obviously sometimes there are going to be more exotic scales used. But will these 4 scales still be sort of the meat potatoes even in a jazz context?
@zombieguitar
@zombieguitar Жыл бұрын
Yes absolutely... especially pentantonic and diatonic. Remember that the diatonic scale goes by 9 different names: major, natural minor, Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian...all of which are used A LOT in jazz 😁
@pschlosb
@pschlosb Жыл бұрын
@@zombieguitar silly me.....I wasn't even thinking about the modes! You're right the modes open up a world of many additional possibilities, so yes I can see that. And obviously like you said jazz is more complex because the cords are extended chords and in soloing/improvising/ composing you have to figure out which scales and which arpeggios and phrases/licks sound good as each (more complex) chord goes by so yeah that's true. I think the modes with these scales that you mentioned probably give enough to work with for a lifetime lol

To move around the fretboard with different patterns (1-5) I find impossible to remember. Hence to try and do the same with all the other patterns is impossible. Learn 1 move to the next, go back to the first I have to learn it all over again, move to the second, I have forgotten that have to learn it again. Ad Infernitum . Do I give up?

It is good lesson, difficult for me. If the fret board diagram at the top was flipped upside down it would mirror the right handed guitar & this seems much easier to understand. Jimmy Hendrix must have had a great advantage learning this, considering he played a right handed guitar upside down. Can I get that diagram the same length of the 22 frets so I can position it for my best understanding while practice?

What you are suggesting here would be backwards. I highly recommend you get used to reading fretboard diagrams this way, as it is the correct orientation which matches a right-handed guitar. It is the same as the chord diagrams too, just rotated 90 degrees

Dominant 7th is a type of chord, not a scale 😁

Thanks. So we should think of the dominant seventh run as being built on the fifth of the major?

@Brian Kelly are you familiar with Guitar Grimoire for scales book. I’ve used this to learn 7 positions/patterns (By Mode) and have the major patterns down good and getting ready to hammer down the minors next. How does the 3 position system work with modes? Maybe I’m approaching this wrong for instance my second major position is the Dorian pattern and I was thinking as long as I identify the root of major scale and root of mode I would be good?

Sorry I am new to guitar and would like to know why for the harmonic minor scale the note "E" is not "b" as shown on the fretboard. Sorry if my question is too simple to ask.

Hey Brian nice lesson, What "scale" do you recommend to use (apart from Minor Pent') for an 80's/90's Hard Rock style genre ?

Brian Kelly so just so I get this straight.If I'm playing in Major keys or Power chords,do I use Major or minor scales ?
@zombieguitar

@@hectorheath yes, if all of the chords are all part of the same key (which is usually the case for 80s hard rock tunes), then you just play the key-scale, while focusing on landing on chord tones which are the best-sounding notes to sustain on over the chord at hand. Power chords still imply either major or minor chords. For instance a progression that goes: A5 - F5 - C5 - G5 is in the key of A minor/C major. Those power chords are just abbreviated variations of Am - F - C - G. The scales that you would use to solo over that progression would be pentatonic, diatonic and blues. The note selection of which notes sound the best would be the chord tones of the underlying chords!

I definitely suggest starting to think in terms of intervals if you're not already. Basically you just need to know where the "b5" is in relation to the root. I have a bunch of lessons on intervals, but this older one will do the trick 😁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5bMZmZqgJyIaM0

Hey man. Love your work. Subscriber and member of Zombie Guitar. But as a new set of eyes, I can say that your fretboard illustrations are all upside down. In the split screens where you are playing and the fretboard illustration is above your live screen, the nut of the fretboard illustration is on the opposite side of the screen as the nut of your live guitar. Not a big deal but thought I'd point that out

It's not backwards, and they aren't supposed to match! If you ignore the diagrams...it's like having an in-person lesson with a teacher sitting face to face with you. If you look at the diagram, it then gives you an additional perspective which is YOUR perspective... similar to reading TABs or sheet music 😃
