Minor Pentatonic/Blues Scale Phrasing Lesson #4

http://markweinguitarlessons.com/forums/content.php?165-Minor-Pentatonic-Scal...

The last in my current series on the Minor Pentatonic Scale. This one is on "Sequences", or patterns that repeat throughout the scale. I ran out of time, and recorded this on Saturday morning at 6:30am, so please forgive me if I am a little groggy!

I know I am asking you to essentially compose a whole song ... but that is not what I am really asking for. I am really asking for an "explanation" of ideas and a few typical styles ...

This is really a sincere request ... in any case, please keep up the great work! Any instructor would charged hundreds of dollars for what you are teaching here ... :)

No problem....I usually do things like this for my private students...its just an exercise....we can work out song structure and some writing devices that I think are useful...

[iris98765]

I have a sincere request ... could you construct a basic lesson to songwriting ... I mean, the whole thing - taking an idea, writing a simple chord structure on it, then playing rhythm and scales together and moving with the chord changes ... adding some chord embellishments (such as 7th chords) - kind of like Jimi Hendrix style.

[premiermusic]

That is something I can do, although before I do that I am going to try and lay the groundwork with some theory so that we have some common vocabulary...in the next month or so I am going to do a couple of lessons on triads and harmonizing the major scale...after that I can definitely do a few songwriting lessons...look for them after the first of the new year...

Thanks for the feedback...I really appreciate it!

and if you need any help, please be sure to ask ... I would love to help out on this initiative in any possible way :)

maybe, I could post a video response to each of your lessons to show every subscriber of your series what I really learned from a particular lesson ...(kind of like a teacher student thing :D)

I am just a beginner and I think it will help others like me ... anyway, as of now, I am completely enjoying your lessons ... :)
