Beginning Guitar 101 - The Penatonic Scale

[harleyjim1st]

Thanks 4 the lesson. Like it alot !

[Gitfidlpickr]

Actually pentatonic scales is not "101." Beginning guitar is the Chromatic scale from C to C over the C chord (12 notes) and C-F-G7 chords (being able to place each note on the staff). Then understanding "middle C" .. notation symbols (treble cleff, CODA, D.S. al CODA, Signo, repeat, endings, rests. Then 4/4 and 3/4 and counting (16th, 1/6th, 1/4, half, whole, triplets, slurs ... the "lead sheet" .. and then chord progressions and the Nashville numbering system. That's a good start

Thanks for explaining how the shape of thef the E min pentatonic with the open string is extended to the rest of the scales only that the strings are no longer open.

That makes a big difference to the way i look at the min pentatonic scales.thanks for pointing that connection.

G bless you a million times.

[japispirina]

I thinl it's a fender affinity series

[wildsidecrew]

what kind of guitar is this?

[6stick6man6]

hmm. too bad there is more then just 1 Penatonic scale. Not just "THE" Penatonic scale, should be "A" Penatonic scale. Thanks for misleading most of the people who watch this.

[bostonhomeland]

haha true. beginners might be misled when they watch this. i was a little puzzled at first too

[lfsmwilliamson]

[deth6kerns]

[allxtar]

its a music house u idiot xD

[linkindbzw]

lol it sounds like its jumanji not a music house i just bought a guitar but now want some drums. i think i'd be better at drums then guitar.

[trogdor711]

most great guitarists started with drums and then went to guitar for instance Jack White, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and more.

[angels77100]

@linkindbzw . Hahahahaha, Funny I wanted to play drums, but couldn't afford them, ended up buying a guitar instead. Best decision I ever made.

[ianspitzig]

thats an eminor pentatonic

[Vontrolle]

If a song is played in the C key, then you should play the Pentatonic scale from the parallel key, which is a minor.

If the song is played in c minor key, then you should play the pentatonic scale from the same key, c minor.

Go try it, it's really nice to just improvise on chord songs!

[malachi9898]

maybe hes got a mic next to his heart.. but i must admit, it is a bit distracting.

[444023]

What's with the heartbeat

[zervine22]

what was the 1st pentatonic scale he did??

[xanderzone1985]

i just started and this really helped! cheers mate!

[mmaiato]

If you play a penatonic it is a Minor. Based on the assumption we are talking about natural scales. IMO natural scales are not taught correctly. I think if you teach someone the "phrasing" or pos of a natural Minor and then drill into their heads that there is a relative major 1.5 tones higher on the neck (same notes, diff root), and its natural Major phrasing, you just taught someone all natural scales in all positions on the neck. I may do a youtube lesson thing on this when I have time.

[marcdell]

Cool vid!!Cool vintage Cali Cap!!! Thanks 4 the scale lesson!!

[carguy12345678910]

go angels!

[DrHogfan]

Thank you.....you've answered my ??'s about scales.

[msopher]

could someone please explain, what is the G scale where you play, from the high e string:

G F# E D C B A G F# E D C B A G

??? Thanks.

I have another question. That second scale he played, the G pentatonic, isn't that G minor? If so, then why wasn't the E scale minor? If not, how do you play a minor pentatonic scale?

[grantking12]

im not entirely sure about the scale

but i think that it IS a minor pentatonic scale they just didnt put that in there

but i could be worng so dont get pissed at me if i am

[Knukleheada]

the first one is a G major scale

[blugzor]

@msopher a minor pentatonic scale means that the second note of the scale is a minor third. It could be a major third then the name would be major pentatonic scale. There is five notes in a pentatonic scale : root, minor third, fourth, fifth, and then the root one octave higher. The name of the scale comes from the root note. Start on the flat A for instance and you have a flat A minor pentatonic scale. You don't need to ruin your brain. Making music out of this F**** scale is a bit harder !

[ibaneziceman300]

nice vid, im diggin it but im not diggin the hat

[RadioPolonio]

Dont u think 1st string is out of tune???

[vdeleon1]

RadioPolonio

G and high E sound out of tune, or maybe it's the audio.

[boisen30]
