@Musicman1413 scales are Pentatonic, first you can learn all 5 patterns from Pentatonic and then try to apply those with the lesson instruction method, have a good one ! sorry about the TAB i guess it’s still on my old website link, will check it out
@Kajaena exactly my friend ! :D if you want to use passing note, you can play it on the 'up' beat instead of 'down' beat, it will give a great taste to your playing. have fun !
So can i play a B minor pentatonic sharp#6 scale over A major7,Bm7 and E dominite7 without concentrating on the chord changes? Please correct me if im wrong using that scale?..I don't like to think about it if im playing lead, trying to follow the chord changes that are coming up next..lol..I don't know jazz theory, But i heard the formula is different for notes that make up a jazz chord? Not like regular chords made from, Root note, 3rd and 5th..I feel like a jackass comments on music theory''
If you're trying to do basic solos, Please don't start with jazz, jazz is for advances players only and I really don't advise using the pentatonic scales for jazz, you should use arpeggios and modes. And the minor pentatonic doesn't have a '#6' the minor pentatonic has 1 b3 4 5 b7 and doesn't need to be alterd, The first chord is Amajor7 so try the relative minor of F# minor pentatonic to start out, they add arpeggios over each chord individually. you really should start more basic
@Dazzerx I was thinking about the notes and looking at the scale from a B minor concept making the 6th note from the B minor sharp, which is the same thing as playing a flat 7th in the B minor pentatonic scale? Which is an A flat note. If i was playing in F# minor pentatonic scale along with the chords B minor 7th, E dominate 7th, and A major 7th there would be an E flat note in the F minor pentatonic scale? I asked a fairly simple question and your reply to me was unprofessional stupid shit..
@dannyhood66 Sorry i tried to fucking help you jesus fucking christ, I wasn't even insulting you, why the need to act like a total jack ass? If you want simple, solo over a god damn pop I-VI-V progression, The Key of this is A MAJOR, F# Minor is the RELATIVE of A Major, There for you are playing in a KEY in ONE scale shape over a group of chords instead of individually emphasising the chord tones of each chord.
@dannyhood66 look at the chord progression in the Information ( II - V - I ) Bminor7 - E7 - Amajor7
It's a standard Jazz progression, The I chord is A Major7, therefor the key is A Major, I know you mean in a B minor concept so you could use that scale over the Bminor7 chord if you wanted to (Better a Minor 7 Arpeggio) Also the 6th note of the B minor sharp? There is no sixth note, The minor pentatonic has only 5 notes, and the sixth isn't in the the scale so you couldn't possibly add it.
@dannyhood66 And I should add there is no Eb is F# minor pentatonic, the notes are F# - A - B - C# - E.
the notes in Amajor7 are : A - C# - E - G#
the notes in Bminor7 are: B - D - F# - A
the notes in E7 are : E - G# - B - Eb
It's all in key except G# and D, what can we do? we can add the G# into the F# minor pentatonic, as G# is the 2nd note in F# minor (natural minor) so we have 6 notes, we just have the D left, D happens to be the Flat 6th in F# Minor.
@dannyhood66 Basically... Just use the F# minor pentatonic and plug in the Flat 6 and 2nd. D and G#.
the notes in E7 are : E - G# - B - Eb ( I actually meant D instead of Eb) My bad, I think you forgot to flat the 7th on the E7 chord didn't you?
Use allt he notes of F# natural minor and we get these notes: F# - G# - A - B - C# - D - E, the notes in this scale cover ALL the notes in all 3 chords, happy soling.
@Dazzerx the minor pentatonic already has a 7b, you don't need to alter the shape, Lets looks at A C major scale and A C minor pentatonic.
C Major: C D E F G A B C
C Minor: C D# F G A# C
you can see that the Major third (E) is now flat and is a minor third in the minor pent (D#) F G are still the same and the B from the C major has been flattened to get an A#.
@Dazzerx So your saying there is no G# or Ab notes in a B minor pentotonic scale? If the G# or Ab is not in that scale then what scale is it of B minor that uses those G# Ab notes? Is it because of the E dominate 7 and A major 7th chords the reason for G# note that works good over the chord progresion well..Your first reply to me sounded cocky like you assumed i was a beginner could not play,''
@Dazzerx Sorry i never replied to this before I like what your saying except how in the hell is it that G# or Ab, not the same note, the same note no matter how you slice it it comes up either G# or Ab
@sumoblues Ponch is playing a '95 or '96 Ibanez "Talman" TC620, the only model of that series with soapbar pickups. I have the same guitar in a "raspberry metallic" color. I believe his is the Black Pearl finish. Since it looks like a cross between a tele and a Jazzmaster, I call mine a jazzcaster.
@MiniDaab hello minidab, I have teach music since 13 years ago, many brilliant students come and go, and it's always great to know some of my knowledge can help them. Just like every journey start with a single step, as well as music, we start with a single note then develop it into sonata or any form of music. I wish you all the best and don't forget to have fun with your music :)
Hi and thank you for your time. I am having a hard time following your chord progression on the video. I looked up the attached tab which does not correspond to what you are playing. I really like the two chords that you play in A - got any other tabs that do work?
Can you explane me the difference between major and minor pentatonic? Someone told me that if I play (for example) a Aminor7 chord and instead of playing on it a Aminor pentatonic I play the same scale two frets above I am playing the Amajor pentatonic...if that's true can you tell me it is that? Ciao
Major pentatonic derived from Major Scale it self, the formula is 123 5 6, and the Minor Pentatonic actually is the relative Minor Scale from Major Scale, here's the formula 1 3b 4 5 7b. so try those scale in every tonic and try to identify by their sound. have fun ! :D
@danlovesnan minor has flat third major natural third so in A for minor C for major C#...sounds good to lead from C to C# in a blues leading tones are cool
@danlovesnan The difference is simply that the major is a sweet/melodic sounding scale a favorite in country & southern rock music (Allman Bros., Marshall tucker used it alot) as opposed to the more rockin/bluesy sound of the minor (Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page). They use exact scale patterns but start at different places due to the root issue The Major Pentatonic sounds best over Major chords while the Minor sounds best over Minor & Dominant chords....
@danlovesnan: the difference between major and minor pentatonic is not in the notes, because they are the same. It's the starting point. for instance: e minor pent. have the same notes as g major, a minor as c major etc.. If u play or improvise, think in phrases. as if u have something to say.
@danlovesnan For every pentatonic pattern you have a minor pentatonic and a major pentatonic. The difference is the notes you "stop" at. If you want to play an A minor pentatonic scale, you would play ACDEG and you would try to "rest" or mark the notes of the main chord you're interested in, in this case ACE and maybe G. This pattern is also the pentatonic of Cmajor so if you wanted to play it major you'd rest on CEG and use the A and D notes as "bridge" notes to get to the others. Thats it.
This video helped something click inside my head! If I'm not mistaken, whatever the CHORD currently is (during a song) that's the pentatonic SCALE in which to improvise. Correct?
great lesson, but would be nice to know the improv you were playing with those scales??? that surely is the important part? great lesson anyways.thanx.
"We know this, oh we know this!" Oh i know : P Awesome lesson, looks like i need to check out the pentatonic positions. There was one really funky blues riff you played, good stuff. Rock on.
nice lesson dude, i like the way you treat each chord as a separate event, but if i have to nit pick at your lesson i would say to all the learners out there, try not just to learn the shapes, try to learn the notes in each scale, compare them to the complementary chrods and you will see similarities and learn much more tahn just chord and scale shapes.
Thanks for the lesson! I have troubles improvising with jazz which is a problem because I'm in jazz band at school and a lot of the songs I have a solo and those songs are jazz (of course) so I always have troubles with what I should do espicially since im used to doing just your blues hot licks, I mean it sounds good but it doesnt sound jazzy which is why I am saying thanks for the lesson I will now use it for further playing
hello mon ami, thanks a lot for the time and comment, it takes time to develop the sense of jazz sound and there's no secret behind it, It's something about the rhythm, the chords formula and the way jazz players express their own melody and ideas..it's something personal.. so no worry about trying to sound to jazzy..if you love jazz then it will come to you, just keep doing it and you'll get there. at least take this small ideas as a point to start develop your jazz playing. thanks :)
i have exactly the same question. but look at your answer. you are indeed a very matured jazz player. hats off to you, sir, for such a great lesson. thank you for sharing !
WHy I should not? It's just another approach to improvise using Pentatonic scales, not based on Modes. Surely I do know how to use diatonic modes like you've mentioned, only in this lesson I just want to share my different side of improvise using Major and Minor Pentatonic.
great thanks,finally i got a clearer idea,when to play each scale,its about the timing,i'm learnin the pentathonic scale,but i was so confused on when to really play what?????thanks again.
Question: So you can play any note from those 3 scales and it will sound good? or do you play some notes in one scale, then switch to another scale and play some notes there?
I think it depends on our creativity to create interesting melodic line, you can add some blue notes on your phrasing while play those pentatonic scale. best luck
hello bewaremyguitar, i think it's naturally came from my blues side of guitar playing, and sometimes I also considered it as passing note or chromatic ideas to connect between melodic lines. and also another cool thing about those chromatic is at some rate you can get those altered notes that hidden under the chords harmony structured. hope it helps :)
I have such a hard time trying to remember timing. I seriously have ADD and dyslexia and makes it so difficult. I will try recording something like this, but Ill get lost lol. You sound totally Awesome! Thanks for the video and theory etc.
Finally, a nice easy and jazzy sounding way to improvise, add a few chromatic notes and it makes me want to run in circles, thank you very much for the lesson

the notes in E7 are : E - G# - B - Eb ( I actually meant D instead of Eb) My bad, I think you forgot to flat the 7th on the E7 chord didn't you?
So use F# natural minor, The notes are F# - G# - A - B - C# - D - E
These notes cover all the notes in the chords, enjoy.

WHy I should not? It's just another approach to improvise using Pentatonic scales, not based on Modes. Surely I do know how to use diatonic modes like you've mentioned, only in this lesson I just want to share my different side of improvise using Major and Minor Pentatonic.

You can play Minor pentatonic over major chords and dominant chords. It gives a bluesy sound.

Question: So you can play any note from those 3 scales and it will sound good? or do you play some notes in one scale, then switch to another scale and play some notes there?
ddrnerd 3 years ago
I think it depends on our creativity to create interesting melodic line, you can add some blue notes on your phrasing while play those pentatonic scale. best luck

Great stuff Ponch, just wondering what your thinking behind adding the extra note to your pentatonic scales is. Any thoughts?
bewaremyguitar 3 years ago
hello bewaremyguitar, i think it's naturally came from my blues side of guitar playing, and sometimes I also considered it as passing note or chromatic ideas to connect between melodic lines. and also another cool thing about those chromatic is at some rate you can get those altered notes that hidden under the chords harmony structured. hope it helps :)
