David, thank you so much for this and all of your videos. This one here, really sheds alot of light to me, and hopefully others, as to using these different scales in such a simple way, which really, really unlocks a whole new palet of sounds and "vibes" for me. Thank you so, so much my friend! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Helpful lesson; thanks, David. But it looks like the video may have the scale name and fretboard diagram mismatched for the 1st scale. You say it was a minor pentatonic, but the diagram shows a 6-note scale, the minor blues scale. And it sounds like you're using the b5 sometimes in the improv. I just checked out the online material, and it has the minor blues scale as the first scale, properly named. Seems like something similar happened with the 2nd scale, too-the diagram shows the 6-note major blues scale, not the major pentatonic. Regarding mixolydian, you suggest using A mixolydian over both the I and the V. I think of E mixolydian as a good choice for the V (since it's the 5th mode with respect to the root, i.e., the I, so it's a good fit for the V7 chord). The A mixolydian was working fine over the V chord. Is there some theory behind that? -Tom

Minor blues scale, not minor pentatonic. Major blues scale, not major pentatonic scale. In my opinion the major pentatonic scale will NOT sound bluesy unless you add the flat 3rd. Without the "blue" note, the scale will just sound country and very "major".

David, I think the diminished, the whole tone and the lydian dominant scales must be used from the specific roots (1, 4 or 5), not the from the same root (here A) over all three chords. Am I wrong? Cheers and thanks, Hermann

Question: When you're playing the Dorian for example, you mention that it works on the 1st and 4th degree. When playing on the first, say in "A", you're playing "A" Dorian, when you switch to the 4th degree, are you playing "D" Dorian or do you stick with playing "A" Dorian?

Wasn't Pentatonic called that way because of the 5 notes in a scale? Yet I see 6 notes in yours... Where does this come from?
@CD_Character2 жыл бұрын
Yes. The diagram has an extra note added to the minor pentatonic. It's the b5 (flat 5th); aka "the blue note". This is commonly called "the blues scale". Use the b5 as a passing tone (don't sit on it) and enjoy.
