Guitar Lesson For Blues Funk and Jazz : More Casual Modal Applications-Major Pent into Mixo

[bufeva]

@martyfs74 is this the sane scale as A aeolian

[kenboonie]

Thinking of George Benson...cool man.

[JackHutt23]

what amp do u use ? please

[bennerz3]

hey i love your lessons, really helpful. it'd be sweet if you could make some of these little progressions that you do in your lessons into longer videos, like a jamtrack type of thing.

[Pied777]

I think you better mix the dorian with the minor pentatonic because those two scales are minor... since mixolydian and major pentatonic are major scales, they will go together better

[howaboutsomedotcom]

Reason it works is C mixolydian is C D E F G A Bb

he is just playing A minor pentatonic A C D E G and adding the F Bb to make up scale

[Harry427]

this may be my warped logic, but does it work with the other CAGED chords? ie G mixo works on E pentatonic for same reasons? H

[aerofran]

coooooool!

[ShreddingFish92]

tasty jams... :P

[jawadahmad77]

Thanks for the video - very helpful.

[KeithRogersGuitar]

Hey Marty. I think this has been one of the most helpful videos that I've ever watched, so thanks for that. I was wondering what some of your influences in this style of funky-bluesy guitar playing are.

[guitarjamzdotcom]

thanks a lot. I love hendrix srv led zeppelin john scofield jeff beck robben ford plus a million others!! thanks again

[ivo1212]

WoW- many great licks!!! thanks!!!

[dronai]

I love it !!! Marty you rip those licks. Beautiful blend of notes.

[cmartinjr2]

I just sit in amazement each time I watch your videos.

From 3:13 to 4:38 is just pure amazing to watch you easily glide over notes... wow....

Thanks for posting these, I've always played a lot of chords but am now getting into scales. Hopefully one day I'll be half as good as you at scales...

[stevieVantanna]

Whoa! are you guys the Doobie Brothers!? ;)

[TheBeatlesfan1991]

i have one question : lets say ur playing the chords C, F ,G then back to C since that chord progrestion is in the key of C would the lead guitarist just play riffs in the key of C or would they have to switch from C to F to G and then back to C???

[guitarjamzdotcom]

good question, C F and G are all from the key of C so yes the same scale works over all of those chords. a "key" has 7 chords

the key of C's 7 chords are

C Dmin Emin F G7 Amin and a weird chord Bmin7b5

so C F and G are the ! 4 and 5 chord in the key of C

yo keep it real!

[TheBeatlesfan1991]

thanks this would also apply to the other scales right? like if its in the key of A you use the A Major pentitonic, or Am use the Am pentitonic scale

[guitarjamzdotcom]

yah man you gottttit

[TheBeatlesfan1991]

this would have been alote easier if i knew this when i was in my old band.haha

[extremus22]

Excellent video again! But I have a question. It is not related to this specific video, but it is about all your lessons. The question is: how do you learned how to make these beautiful phrases? I mean, now I know how to use the major pentatonic scale, the mixolydian and so on. But I am not able to play beautiful and colorful solos like yours :D. How do you learned that? Transcribing solos? Natural feeling? Both? :D

[martyfs74]

I rarely transcribe solos all the way through. sometimes I'll hear a lick and then learn it. I would say to learn licks from as many different and varied places, know your scales well with practicing and patterns etc. and lots and lots of jamming and improvising and then lots of hours of all that stuff. nothing beats time put into the instrument.

[extremus22]

Thank you for your answer!

[richiepowa]

really really good videos !

You make me learn a lot of stuff in order to not be "blocked" into penta stuff....

[flyboybds]

Thank you! I'm learning more practical application uses here from your videos than I ever did in 20 years worth of attempted theory studies! No F'n joke my man! Keep up the good work!
