What The Heck Are Modes Of The Pentatonic Scale?

[@garrymoss8021]

It helps to watch it twice. The first time through I was lost. Thanks, Ricky.

Eyup Rickster ... loved the video, but the Emailed link for the PDF doesn't work??

While everyone is worried about what mode they should be using or thinking of, I’m recording my next hit! JK: Thanks for the time to explain your ideas!

[@davineglide]

only the notes on the 2nd fret of the e strings and the 4th fret of the d string are visible the others look whited out ?

[@rickysguitar]

Eyup Norman. I've had a watch on a smaller screen and yes it's a problem. I've replaced the free PDF with a clearer tidier drawing. that makes it easier to follow along. Hope that helps :)

[@raymster8450]

Ricky, I'm assuming this is covered in your book?

[@rickysguitar]

No this is new material. It will be in a future book though however

[@guitarhero2022]

You really need an other color other than light gray on white paper for the non root notes…

[@rickysguitar]

Yeah I agree. I'll probably reshoot this

[@NancyParsons-y3g]

Forgive me. But, your drawings are each identical to me. How are you counting spaces with all the different numbers? Am I crazy ?

[@rickysguitar]

The scale patterns are not from 1 key. The E shaped octave is the modal centre. Download the PDF and you'll see the difference. rickysguitar.com/freepdfs?contact.pdf=pdf184

[@garrymoss8021]

Ricky……….what the heck are you talking about?

[@rickysguitar]

Each box of the 5 minor pentatonic boxes can be thought of as a mode. If the 5 boxes are in one key then the tonic moves around all 5 of the shapes. However if the modal centre is always on the E string each box pattern becomes a mode in its own right because a new scale formula is created

Color choices are horrible. I couldn’t see the grey notes!

[@rickysguitar]
