5 Minor Pentatonic Scale Tricks Every Guitar Player Should Know

[@river2352]

Brilliant teacher, guitar player and just a genuinely good dude. Thanks for making KZbin a better place man

[@krang07]

After listening to a best of Jimi Hendrix CD last night I came to realize something about the Jimi`s playing. Even though he did use the pentatonic scale as his base of lead playing, he used it in pretty unpredictable ways sometimes which leaves you somewhat dumbfounded if you tried to copy it note for note. He was a wild man in every sense of the word.

[@kingsxkids]

just wait til you dissect his chord melodies.... oh yeah, five guitar tracks on electric ladyland master

Pure gold!! Thank you so much

[@uzokimiko2808]

maaaann....!!! if I could combine the exceptional tricks in this video, added with some double bending , some squeals and tapping in a smart way I could feel what Satriani feels when composing some masterpiece......thanks a lot David ! this video is pure gold !

[@BrettPapa]

Great stuff man! Great ideas.

[@alfgibson8653]

Hey, Papa, this guy is a great complement to your excellent channel. Maybe David can move on to Nashville and both of you play in a jam... that will be absolutely awesome. Keep on rocking, Brett Papa!!!!

[@JJ3136]

AWESOME VIDEO LIKE ALWAYS DAVID. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR DEAR FAMILY !!!

[@MiikeyLawless]

Oh that idea in the second one is something i accidentally learned how to do one day. Your lessons are some of the best ive come across.

[@giampide10]

Hey sir! I just only wanted to give you my compliments! Regardless the lesson - and of course I found it very helpfull and interesting, I think you're a very skilled and able teacher. It is very easy listening to you and try and grab achievements by your tuitions. You should be able to teach everything. Keep on this way! Giampaolo. ITALY

[@idjoensjjz]

Thanks a lot from France! Going to try these tomorrow, I struggle to be innovative in my solos, this is going to help me a lot. 👍🤩

[@Wallimann]

Merci!

[@rajsundram5672]

Incredible video. Great tips, explained clearly and you present it in a relatable and friendly manner. Your backing tracks were sweeeeeeet.

[@gacyx6802]

Thanks. I like the way you present the licks. I am not a good lead player and I can understand this easy enough.

[@jamesabrams6321]

very well done...nice tasty licks to easily incorporate into playing

[@KS-hl6zo]

Dude Wallimann you are AWESOME! :) the first 4 exercises were great but that 5th really opened my eyes.. and ears.. and fingers probably.

[@Wallimann]

Thanks a lot!

[@franksallie9112]

Great tips, well presented. Awesome, clear style of layout. One of the best. Thank you.

[@victorjohnson9048]

Awesome video, very helpful

[@Geotubest]

Great stuff David. A player can work with those, combine them, etc. Incorporate into improvisation, etc. Nice.

[@neilsouza9076]

Thanks David, awesome birthday gift!

[@johnmacmillan627]

David, my brain has kicked into gear and I now understand the sequence. Never seen that pearl before

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

This is a cool lesson.

[@mksounds6326]

Some tasty chops here. Good stuff.

[@jasoncrump1886]

Appreciate ya brother . These licks helping me alot on my lead playing.

[@jordantredway5456]

I really appreciate this video. I know my major scales, pentatonics, CAGED system. I'm still struggling to actually write solos and improvise without it sounding extremely dull and predictable.

[@Wallimann]

Thanks Jordan!

[@tonefingerz2021]

[@taylorbush5534]

Great lesson! Thank you!

[@mondocane4336]

Nice lesson!!! I guess you leave me with no choice but to steal ALL these licks... Thanks a lot and regards from Argentina!

[@rusty19]

This is great, thanks. Every time I feel like I'm hitting a wall I spend some time on one of your lessons and the wall crumbles.

[@michaelgayerjr7293]

I'm doing this Challenge! Thank you David!

[@deepakrebentisch9173]

excellent lesson sir GBY

[@notebender4]

Love this!... The legato work is what I need...

[@downhill240]

Excellent lesson. Thanks for sharing!

[@johnmacmillan627]

Hi David. I just signed up for one of your courses which I am looking forward to delving into. I do have a question about this video which is in the course. When you are playing the chords in the G minor pentatonic I am at a bit of a loss in understanding what these chords you are playing. I understand certainly the Gmin chord notes but what are the notes in the next chord you play…is that note to be A sharp major or Asharp minor? Thanks

[@fryproject2018]

You are the BEST I have seen yet!!!

[@AlemTalic]

Nice, thats the stuff that people want to sit through !

[@Wallimann]

+Alex Mori Thanks man!

[@oneeyemonster3262]

What do you do when over a DOMINANT chord ??? PLAY the DOMINANT PENTATONIC of corse.lmao R...x....2....x....3................5................b7...x.....R Use it as a Skeleton/template/guide to play more defined Dominant type modes. Axis pitch/ Modulate Mix = V of MAJOR mix b2 = V of Harmonic MAJOR mix b6 = V of Melodic Minor Mix b2, b6 = V of Harmonic Minor Mix #4 = IV melodic minor Mix #2, #4 = Hungerian MAJOR Phrygian b4 = III of Harmonic MAJOR Locrain b4 = VII of Melodic minor if you Vamp the Lydian b3 over the Tonic...you can play a dominant chord in the II position ( N 6)...Harmonic minor b2 You can make a dominant chords from the b II position Melodic minor b2...you can play a domiant chord from the MAJOR 6th position WHOLE TONE scales are SYMMETRICAL...you can make this chord every WHOLE step 1.3b7 FULL DIMINISHED ( HW /HW) You can also stack dominant chords over every b3 intervals.

[@josephgoudreau7425]

kim young dominant pentatonic I find has a jimmy Paige flavour it's nice

[@genovon]

Beautiful wonderful thank you

[@nicolasleguern7654]

[@marvinmobley6294]

i have to get a fractel unit dam they sound great.i swore off rack gear for along time .give me a old 5150 or a 800 with a tube screamer and im good .but you can get that liquid tone with that thing

[@thesoulsofthedeparted1126]

[@shaunmcinnis1960]

Great way to spice up a boring scale..Thanks again, Merci

[@kakan147]

[@theslipperman6965]

Another great video David. What's the black attachment at the butt of your Ibanez about?

[@aungkomin5888]

The great lessons man! Btw pls, let me know yr ibanez guitar model.. Thanks,

[@MrDmadness]

Im never sure if you play with a pick or have some fingernail picking trick ?? I play both fingerstyle ( never pick my acoustic ) and with a pick ( with my electric ) and maybe a wee bit of hybrid.... Im curious IF you use a pick and if so how are you hiding it and recovering it when you choose to play with fingers? I know different players have different approaches to this, I am curious as to your approach.

[@381bino]

NICE

[@RickDanner]

cool dave

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Shame the tabs are not downloadable from here, not complaining, I think this an excellent tutorial, thank you again.

[@Wallimann]

What do you mean? Is there an issue with the download?

[@perrahedstrom]

Nice cup! :-D

[@Txsc4n]

What's that sweet guitar at 0:44

[@streetballer4rel]

what's the song playing in the background in the beginning?

[@smkh2890]

At 0:19, what chord fingering is that?

[@timothycorrey2154]

👍🏽

[@wakingupfrom]

goooood shitttt

[@Truthmoses]

you usually talk too long, but you got to the meat of the video like a damn boss-man..

[@UDKO2]

Any way to buy the 30 day challenge and download it instead of consuming it online?

[@Wallimann]

There you go! www.guitarplayback.com/p/30-day-penta-challenge

[@edwarddarbonne3822]

Download didn't work on iPad. Said safari couldn't handle it. Do you have other avenues?

[@Wallimann]

Sorry about that, you need to do it from a computer because the download is a zip file. I don't think iPads can unzip.

[@andystovermusic9200]

Hi David. I know this shouldn’t be what I’ve taken from this lesson but is that a Thomas The Train coffee mug I see?🤪

[@Wallimann]

Haha! Close! It’s the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine! :D

[@boomersdelightvv7201]

I like your challenges

[@michaeljensen5193]

You`ve good things, have seen some of your lessons. I wanted so much to see you play taht COLOR guitar, but not on this video :(

[@freddymclain]

I admire your intent and motive...just not a fan of the 'police car that has to pee' tone.

[@gumundurarnor1690]

how are you getting this tone iin the intro?

[@Wallimann]

+Guðmundur Arnþór I'm goi g straight in to the Axe FX II. I can't remember the signal chain, it probably was a factory preset though!

[@gumundurarnor1690]

it's a great tone. Distorted but yet so smooth and liquidy

[@Wallimann]

Thanks so much!

[@bigman-rj6ow]

the intro sounded very Steve Lukather-like 🤔

[@ryanmalone844]

My left note and my right note hurt after this lesson.

[@retiredguyadventures6211]

I would just be happy to play well enough that the pentatonic boxes would bore me...

[@matttaylor1449]

So basically play 6s over 4. Right got it.

[@aniganti5559]

You look like Doug DeMuro holy shit.

[@Jack-in4nm]

Does anyone notice this guy voice sounds like bruce banner 😅

[@martinmarini9848]

Does ANYBODY get to teach on internet???

[@hywel4605]

do you have video where you just play? i'm just getting into it, then you stop and gesticulate and talk. i was never a good student.

[@Wallimann]

+Hywel 4 I think this playlist is what you're looking for: kzbin.info/aero/PLH8SpmhtFbBvLJyNabCtqQctxXVLSsHxB
