im the 49994 viewer if you turn it upside down looks like the 4 rs are a parenthesis for 666 shit why this number again

[Wallimann]

@MatKiller1197 Wow! I didn't realize this got so many views...

[dredreta]

is that second scale/shape major?

are you putting/mixing minor and major that has the same notes?

i'm sorry for my stupid question i'm not tryin to be annoying or anything:D

[Wallimann]

@dredreta That's a good question! Its just one scale, using several positions. It's all minor pentatonic. :-)

@SatanicNaziWarrior This one is a Parker Nitefly, they are high end instruments. The look is certainly quite unique, you love them or hate them.. I love them. They play like a dream!

@SatanicNaziWarrior Way to know your instruments there skippy.

@MatKiller1197 that's cus he might most likely uses a Bord ,,,not a tube amp w mic,, i noticed that as well,, and that guitar is not really a big high voltage shredder axe more of a jazz fusion axe w a different tone .. less of a sizzle

[cisco2fun1]

good lesson for the new adv player Will!!! nice and with constructive methods

[MatKiller1197]

awful tone man

[serginqueiroz1]

@dredreta Yeah, the thing is, that you are always gonna have a minor pentatonic scale, which has the same exact notes as an especific major pentatonic scale. For example, the major pentatonic scale of C, has the same exact notes as the minor A scale. And if you have the major pentatonic of G, it's gonna have the same notes as in the minor E scale. So you can notice that the major scale is gonna have the same notes as in the scale 3 semitones back (3 frets), that is gonna be minor :) Hope it help

what i did was i just made a short backing track with metronome like Am-C-D... Am-C-E at like 120 or 80 bpm

then practice with solo tempos (you can go as fast or as slow as you want)

this will prepare you for being in an actual band and will build improv skills quickly

[Wallimann]

@MetalMikeCass I think the key is that it remains very comfortable...

[MetalMikeCass]

@Wallimann how slow do you recommend? I've been really getting down my picking technique by playing quarter notes between 60-75 bpm.
