Scale Patterns - Fast Eddie - PtI

An exercise to practice the major and minor pentatonic scale shape, broken down in to 5 sub-patterns ascending the neck. The exercise use the neck position for A major and F# minor pentatonic. There is an explanation at the end of the video how to apply the sub patterns to a rock and roll chord progression of A, D and E; changing the scales to A, D and E major pentatonic but keeping the hand position local to the chords

What's in the bowl? Nuts? From Christmas? I bet they're walnuts - they're always the last to go.

No, that's my begging bowl from busking. As you can see it's quite big as i always expect a good turn-out. Mind you its always empty, but i've been told that setting up in my own home is not a good idea.

What a great lesson. I'm just starting to learn guitar and this lesson will be a big help.

Thanks for taking the time to post videos and share your skills for the benefit of helping others, it is truly appreciated.

Best Wishes, Steve.

Thanks for the comment. I spent many years trying to work out how to apply scales. This forms the basis of all my solo work for Rockabilly and main stream rock. I always orientate myself around one of the five sub patterns so i know where i am. Then i add additional transition notes depending on the style. I hope that you and others will recognise these fundamental pentatonic patterns in my other videos

great stuff eddie - many thanks. Also you should do us a Gordon Ramsay look-a-like masterclass some time!

Nice way to practice those paterns! And I didn't know that another scale is used per chord in rock'n'roll, so I really learned an important lesson here!

Thanks!
