Easy Lesson on Pentatonic Scales and Modes and How to Use Them Together - Part 2

This is a lesson on how the minor pentatonic scales work all over the fret board. Likewise you will learn all the modes and their patterns up and down the fretboard. And finally, you will learn how to use the pentatonic scales and the modes together to improvise and improve your soloing capabilities. . . all without theory (well. . . just a touch).

Great tutorial......A very simple way to learn and memorize the modes is to sing "DO RE MI FA SO LA TI DO"--> that's Ionian, start with the 2nd note until its octave is Dorian.. same goes with the rest of the notes

@dpsd This is an excellent idea! I remember Steve Via talking about when he learned the modes from Joe Satriani, he would sing them because each one has a "aural flavor." And using them correctly is to get their unique sound applied to the song or solo you are doing. Thanks.

SHIT! this was a huge deal to me! made me get a whole new perspective, never really goten into scales and modes, thanks! so btw, should I ignore the modes until I've mastered the penatonic patterns?

@sunexerxfaenxgal Thanks! Most people learn the pentatonic scales first and if you play rock, you'll get a lot of mileage out of this scale.

I gess you lose me when I know Penta means 5 notes. You are showing much more than 5 notes. Also when does a person know whether they need a pentetonic or a blues scale, for example?

This is how people need to learn guitar. Having the fretboard laid out right in front of them. Nice lesson.
