Hi my name is jared North and today im going to irritate you with not only my voice but this crappy scale that you wont be able to learn because teaching isnt my strong point.
So I've learned nothing from this. All this taught me is to play a bunch of notes, but have been given absolutely no clue as to what those notes are, what their relationship is to one another, or why I am playing them.
If you really want to learn how to play guitar, learn from the best. I was the lead guitarist in Bone Vacuum and Flaming Battle Axe of Flames, and I can't wait to show you how to SHRED.
What in the fuck are these ads?? First you found me at the goddamn movie theatre after I dropped $15 to get away from you. Now you have adultraded youtube, FUCK OFF!
idk why i just dont like that guy, hes just like, yeea mutha fucka look at me, its just the penatonic scale dont look so amazed when finish playing it, i mean doesnt he? douche... -.-
I tell people that it's only as hard as you want to make it. There is only 7 notes that can be played. how they can be combined is where it can get confusing. Dont start learning guitar and want to play Steve Vai. Start with Green Day or something easy , so it can be fun and not so much like work.
AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! so many numbers and letters. This is worse than my algebra 2 class. I love electric guitar but why does this stuff gotta be so dang confusing :(
It gets much easier...the concepts repeat themselves the entire fretboard. Even when you change key,the scale stays the same shape. Figure out those patterns, and you've pretty much nailed most of the concept of the guitar..the rest is developing technique and dexterity THAT'S where playing guitar gets hard when you're starting out. I'd suggest learning the major scale first..because all the other important scales are in it already, you'll see what I mean later on.
A minor 3rd is basically 4 frets spacing. It's the beginning of the minor chord - which gives the music a sadder feel. eg of minor 3rd is E to G (open string 6) then play the 3rd fret - or from F(6th string - 1st fret) to Ab (6th string - 4th fret). If you play an Em chord - you'll be playing the note of G and B as well ( G is the minor 3rd)
In music, there are intervals which are numbered based off where they sit within the entire scale (which is only 7 notes, which repeat). Think of a pianos white keys starting at note C.Its the first interval for that key. the next interval is D(2),E(3), etc. until you return to C again. A minor third means you are taking the third interval and making the note flat a half tone (down one fret on guitar) So, that means if C is 1 and E is 3, a minor third would be E flat instead of regular E.
there's 5 different positions in the pentatonic scale - then there's variations of major ( happy sound) and minor ( sadder) to suit the music. A minor pentatonic is probably the most common.
because there are 5 positions to play them in, each having a different shape (but the same exact notes) Most people use the one the guy used here, he also used a very common key for learning the pentatonic scale.
I dont know a damn thing about scales, ive been playing since i was 9, I just went straight to the songs i wanted to learn, I wish youtube was around when i was younger
Wait, I'm still confused, you start by saying 1, then 2, but it looks like you went from the 5th fret to the 7th. What I'm getting from what you're saying is-moving from low E to high E-you go 5th fret, then 6th, then 5th-7th, 5th-7th, 5th-7th, 5th-8th, 5th-8th. Is that right?
I'm confused too. I think what lead guitarists do is they play the same notes in the scale but in different position on the fret board. Meaning, they go several octaves up and down depending which key the song is in... I guess.
tHIS song is in the Key of A... so if you have a song which is in the key of A... then you can solo using the notes within the scale.. ( so you can make your own sounds).. If you had a song with the key of E... then you would need to use a scale in E, which can be exactly like the scale you learnt in A, but will be E..

Actually, that is the first position of the A pentatonic minor scale, not the blues scale. Where are the other four? Every book, every vid - only shows this first position, the magic of the pentatonic minor is the group of 5 positions and how they interlock and form one long scale all the way up the neck.
Actually, onemanmara is technically correct. When most people talk about "the" pentatonic scale" they are referring to what is taught in this video, which is a minor pentatonic scale. If you break it down, this is a minor scale without the 2 and the 6, only 5 tones (pentatonic). This scale is appropriate for A minor or C major (two modes of the same key, made of the same notes). There is a major pentatonic scale too, and it's different. He's being annoying on a technicality, but he's 100% right.
Also, to further clarify, when someone says "The key of A" it's generally implied they mean major. If the video had been one word more specific and said "The key of A minor" there would be no debate.
OMG!! i already know that.. sumbody taught it to me...and so i can make adlibs in our compositions..it's really enjoyable..you should try it..making guitar solos..^^
No, not always. In one of my songs it starts with an A sliding to a B, in that song the root note is B... But if you have a "clean" start note (no slides, bends, hammerons etc) its motly the first note that is the root note.
Also, I would highly recommend explaining what the scale is for and giving some rudimentary examples of how it can be used over chord progressions, such as E7-A7-B7 for a blues or rock sound, and then C, F, G or any combination of the C-major chords for a more standard folksy sound.
Very good scale for beginners, though. To make the corrections, 1) the finger pattern would be 1-4, 1-3, 1-3, 1-3, 1-4, 1-4. 2) The blues scale would be 1-4, 1-2-3, 1-3, 1-3, 1-3-4, 1-4, 1-4. 3) It's a minor pentatonic in A, meaning that it could also be called a "major" pentatonic in C.
Yeah I mean, the notes are correct for the minor pentatonic, but 1) he called the fingers wrong (as was pointed out) 2) he called it the blues scale which it is not (also pointed out) and 3) he just called it "pentatonic" instead of pentatonic minor, which is what it is. (and 4, he missed a note. :))
This scale is not only the easiest but its also the most commonly used of them all. If your new to playing, this is a very good starting point. Good video, nice and basic. You don't need much more than that for learning other than determination and patience. Don't listen to these knuckleheads trying to be overly critical. It's easy to leave a comment on someones video. It's more difficult to actually put your money where your mouth is in a video of your own. Put up or stfu. JMO...
grow a sense of humor. His hair is gay. And he was wrong about the scale... technically. Lots of guys look ridiculous on stage but rock... were none of you around in the 80's??? :)
Sigh.. Pentatonic blues scale?! A blues scale is a blues scale.. pentatonic is just the pentatonic scale.. more rock based than blues. And he stuck in that last note C on the 8th fret high E string which is technically not part of those 2 octaves and incorrect... And his hair is gay.
The video is from "expert village" they are supposed to use experts and educate people, he used incorrect information. If he doesn't have something correct to show, he shouldn't show it!! I didn't have to say his hair is gay.. but i did, the point is people are watching this video to learn, and it's incorrect and misleading so it shouldn't be here.
no, you're a rude person and don't know how to consider the viewpoint of other people.You showed that by making a rude statement about this guy's hair.I certainly hope you're not teaching other people guitar.I bet you're the kind of guy who points out all other ppl
's defects while the time,you're not really THAT great either.Stop being such a BUM and be try keeping quiet until you have something nice to say. Now, let's see u respond to that and act professional about it.i don't think u can.
Ooooooook. I have taught other people because i teach them correctly which makes it fine. Like i already said, people shouldn't post an educational video if the content is incorrect. I am an avid people watcher and take great pleasure in it, if he was to meet me, id tell him he had gay hair. I'm starting to go bald, i am overweight, i have a ginger beard and wear glasses and i'm sure i get people watched all the time, but.. it doesn't bother me, so what.
can somone help me ive been playing guitar for a year and i relly stuggle making my own riffs up can someone tell me what i need to to make it easyer or anything i should know or even refer me to a desent site
if youtube doesn't help.. check out some of the lessons at ultimate-guitar(dot)com. they're really helpful and show a lot of helpful lessons. if that isn't good enough head over to your nearest guitar center and buy a book or two
Calling everyone wannabees but yet you only have been playing for 2 months. Ok im self taught and have been playing a year and a half. And here i am, still watching this stuff.
Sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone, I consider myself a wannabe, shredding's not that impressive in my opinion, I guess the term was used lightly, yet taken heavily. Sorry but I had no idea people looked upon a wannabe as negative, everyone starts as one.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Great, now all of you guitar wannabes gotta learn now are some simple variations, and you'll be shredding in no-time. Try Dorian, Aeolian(minor, Phrygian, Locrian, and Mixolydian. Look those five up, then some chrod progressions and you'll be playing nice soulful music, I've only been playing two months and I'm good at shredding.
Cool man! Great teaching for beginners and experts alike. Remember folks...all great masters continue to perfect the basics and strengthen their foundation.
Good observation! The Blues scale is based off of the Pentatonic scale, but the Blues scale adds the 2 finger on the 5 string and the 4 finger on the 3 string...It's the same bluesy note you get from bending the 3rd finger on the 3 string up a half step. (The lowest pitched open string is commonly referred to as the 6th string...the highest pitched open string is commonly known as the 1st string or "little e"...at least that's the way I was taught, but I didn't create the universe.)
You did a little mistake on the first part. You said on the E string that it was one , two ( talking about the finger place ) but it's one , four ....but I know you didn't meant it
the pentatonic scale is E when your on the 5th fret

This scale is not only the easiest but its also the most commonly used of them all. If your new to playing, this is a very good starting point. Good video, nice and basic. You don't need much more than that for learning other than determination and patience. Don't listen to these knuckleheads trying to be overly critical. It's easy to leave a comment on someones video. It's more difficult to actually put your money where your mouth is in a video of your own. Put up or stfu. JMO...

"That's known as the note A"
His hair is gay, too

When you first start counting, on the E string, you said 1..2..., it should have been 1..4..., other than that, everything is in order.

grow a sense of humor. His hair is gay. And he was wrong about the scale... technically. Lots of guys look ridiculous on stage but rock... were none of you around in the 80's??? :)

Sigh.. Pentatonic blues scale?! A blues scale is a blues scale.. pentatonic is just the pentatonic scale.. more rock based than blues. And he stuck in that last note C on the 8th fret high E string which is technically not part of those 2 octaves and incorrect... And his hair is gay.

why comment if it's going to be so negative. if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it.

The video is from "expert village" they are supposed to use experts and educate people, he used incorrect information. If he doesn't have something correct to show, he shouldn't show it!! I didn't have to say his hair is gay.. but i did, the point is people are watching this video to learn, and it's incorrect and misleading so it shouldn't be here.

no, you're a rude person and don't know how to consider the viewpoint of other people.You showed that by making a rude statement about this guy's hair.I certainly hope you're not teaching other people guitar.I bet you're the kind of guy who points out all other ppl
's defects while the time,you're not really THAT great either.Stop being such a BUM and be try keeping quiet until you have something nice to say. Now, let's see u respond to that and act professional about it.i don't think u can.

Ooooooook. I have taught other people because i teach them correctly which makes it fine. Like i already said, people shouldn't post an educational video if the content is incorrect. I am an avid people watcher and take great pleasure in it, if he was to meet me, id tell him he had gay hair. I'm starting to go bald, i am overweight, i have a ginger beard and wear glasses and i'm sure i get people watched all the time, but.. it doesn't bother me, so what.

if youtube doesn't help.. check out some of the lessons at ultimate-guitar(dot)com. they're really helpful and show a lot of helpful lessons. if that isn't good enough head over to your nearest guitar center and buy a book or two

by far the best basic lesson, I've seen after 50 ... thanks!

JimMorrisonAbrams,
Calling everyone wannabees but yet you only have been playing for 2 months. Ok im self taught and have been playing a year and a half. And here i am, still watching this stuff.
idontwantaflippinnam 3 years ago 2
Sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone, I consider myself a wannabe, shredding's not that impressive in my opinion, I guess the term was used lightly, yet taken heavily. Sorry but I had no idea people looked upon a wannabe as negative, everyone starts as one.

Great, now all of you guitar wannabes gotta learn now are some simple variations, and you'll be shredding in no-time. Try Dorian, Aeolian(minor, Phrygian, Locrian, and Mixolydian. Look those five up, then some chrod progressions and you'll be playing nice soulful music, I've only been playing two months and I'm good at shredding.

Thats the blues scale!
allstaralex13 3 years ago 2
Good observation! The Blues scale is based off of the Pentatonic scale, but the Blues scale adds the 2 finger on the 5 string and the 4 finger on the 3 string...It's the same bluesy note you get from bending the 3rd finger on the 3 string up a half step. (The lowest pitched open string is commonly referred to as the 6th string...the highest pitched open string is commonly known as the 1st string or "little e"...at least that's the way I was taught, but I didn't create the universe.)

You did a little mistake on the first part. You said on the E string that it was one , two ( talking about the finger place ) but it's one , four ....but I know you didn't meant it
DominoProduction 3 years ago
notice when he numbers his fingers, he goes, 1,2,3,4. and when he plays note 2, and in his case would have been finger 4, he goes 2. that amuses me.
