Great video, as always. For years, even decades, I would hear guys say, "learn the CAGED System," and "target the chord tones," but I stayed with the minor Pentatonic/Blues scale and could never solo worth a crap. It always sounded the same, because it was. Then I finally woke up! When you learn that the major and minor Pentatonic scales use the same patterns, to target chord tones, and to know *and listen* to the chord changes, your soloing world will open up. It's so much better soloing when you *know* that what you're about to play will work, instead of just mostly guessing on where you can go.
If anyone is confused about modes, this is essentially in G major, but it's key center is based around the second chord in the scale, Am. Dorian mode. So it's really Am for all intents and purposes. The thing to remember is that modes aren't really about scales more about tonal centers and where the music resolves to.
Agreed.
wrong A minor is not A dorian
voice sound like jack black lol
Pretty much couldn't watch the video because I kept going back to listen to the solo.
Haha!
I have to tell you my friend...I have been playing guitar for 30 years now. And of those 30 at least 20 of them I have played professionally. From Country, Rock, and Metal...I've played it all. And over the last few years I have been searching through vids and websites in search of something to knock me off of that 'plateau' that most musicians often hit. And about a month ago I found your channel and in that short period of time I am finally beginning to feel the crusty walls of the box I've been stuck in deteriorating and flaking away. Knowing cool licks is one thing...but 'understanding' what makes a lick cool is another. The combination of your personality, your teaching approach, and your caliber of playing is quite a recipe. I've heard you say before that, "If I would of known this stuff when I first started, there's no telling where I'd be now." And I'd like to second that notion. For a good 70% of what I've seen on your channel so far, I believe someone like me who's played for decades and someone who played 10 months could watch the same one and both walk away a better player. So I just want to say thank you for freely giving away all your secrets. God bless and here's to the guitar taking back it's crown back in 2018.
Sure thing man! Glad I could help and glad you are liking the vids!
Dorian papa
Dorian mode
BRETT, Can you make a video about What "Chord Changes or Chord Progressions" can you play for each MODE? because when playing in all minor pentatonic box1-5, what chord changes or chord progressions do you use the dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian modes? I know steve vai and david gilmour use the lydian mode but they use a minor pentatonic box that is so many frets away from the root note which its kinda of like the same trick that you play a major pentatonic box 3 frets down they somehow play a lydian mode. Joe Satriani also does this lydian mode trick by using the Aeolian mode so many frets up or down but its the aeolian scale turns into the lydian mode. This trick is what Gilmour, Vai and Satriani do often. Try to figure it out because its using the aeolian natural minor scale just so many frets up or down using the minor pentatonic box which will turn into a lydian mode.
Dig your vids Papa! Check out this mode hack using the pentatonic scales:
IONIAN: maj pent. + 4 + 7
DORIAN: min pent. + 2 + 6
PHRYGIAN: min pent. + b2 + b6
LYDIAN: maj pent. + aug4 + b6
MIXOLYDIAN: maj pent. + 4 + b7
AEOLIAN: min pent. + 2 + b6
This is a year too late so you may have already figured out this hack but if not I hope this can help! I took each one and made licks to help memorize which is right up your alley brutha! ✌
Nice! Thanks for that!
Looks like Guthrie Trapp's background. Same room?
Nope he liked my wall haha!
Nice lesson, Brett! However, from 3:28 to 4:00 I was a little confused about "3rd position" and mention of A minor. Instead, play only pentatonic pattern 5 starting at the 10th fret and that will give you the chord tones for the G chord, including the 3rd, plus the notes E and A. From pattern 5, go forward one pattern to pattern 1, and that will show that you are playing the notes for Em pentatonic which is the relative minor for G major, which is why this works.
Now, you can (as you showed) play A minor pentatonic over a G chord, with the only difference between A minor and E minor pentatonic, is that you get the 4th and not the 3rd with the former, when viewing G as the root note. You can "inject" the 3rd in there, but it's just better to say you are playing E minor pentatonic instead of a mutated A minor pentatonic. Not that you used the word "mutated". ;-)
This thinking limits you. Try playing in G major starting from the A on the D string on the 12 fret. That will be the Dorian minor mode. Starting from C playing in G major will give Lydian major mode . Starting on D playing in G major will give you D Mixolydian major mode. Starting on E playing in a G major scale will give you E Aeolian relative minor to G major.
cannot believe i've actually been using this the last couple of months consistently...not having a clue!! thanks so much! learned a lot! love your videos and playing style!
Awesome! Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
It makes so much Fun to see and listen how u playing Guitar. 5 Years ago i saw this here first Time, and thought...Oh my God. But slowly slowly it works. You have so many great lessons here. Never Stop to learn and i hope in few Years i can say, I can play Guitar
Awesome man! Thanks so much! Glad they are working for ya!
I'm adopting your style of stacking notes and using blues notes and mixing major and minor pentatonic. Going be a long time if I ever reach your level..,,like two life times.
Nah, you'll get it soon! It's addicting and super fun to practice. Happens quicker than you think.
I'm late to the party on this video, but great lesson! Thinking about it as A minor pentatonic being the center and plugging in the "missing" notes from the other chords as they change made my playing instantly more musical than other ways I've learned or thought about modes. Thanks, man. Cheers!
Awesome! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Forgive me if this was said, as I have not read every comment. The chord progression is in the key of G. The second chord in G is Am and the second degree (mode) is Dorian. So, You could play G major, G maj pent, A Dorian (which is minor), or A min pent. When the C and D chords come around, you can play any of the above scales (because C and D are in G major), or play C maj pent over the C chord and D maj pent over the D chord (ala Hendrix). D Mixolydian will work too, as is is exactly the same notes as G major and A Dorian.
Steven Hawking would be confused by modes! Ugh....
Brett, what happened at 7:52? You had just mentioned that you were going to play A minor pentatonic (and did), then would take it to three notes per string. However, when you played that scale you played F# not F natural. Were you thinking G here instead of A minor? :-)
It could be you meant you were going to demonstrate A Dorian with 3 notes per string instead of just plain A minor.
He was playing A Minor . A Dorian minor mode, second mode of the G major scale .
Well, when one says, "A minor", without qualifying it, one assumes the natural minor, hence, F natural. Yes, I knew and indeed mentioned the Dorian mode above. Perhaps you missed my point about being specific? I know that Dorian is a minor mode, but it is not the Aeolian mode.
Is that the Friedman ..?
or a pedal ..??
lotsa midrange bark for a Strat
Both, it's the Dirty Shirley amp with their Buxom Boost pedal.
thanks for the kind reply, Brett --
I always leave You and Marty a "like"
because you are actively involved with your Channel .. :)
SupaSicShredd'n.....⚡
Thanks! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I used to think rock guitar players just partied and jammed out. Never realized how much thinking was involved until I started playing. Lol., but that's what makes it fun. Good lesson.
Thanks!
Pretty cool 😎 stuff
Thanks for checking it out!
Great stuff papa thanks
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
Fucking A!!
Wooohooo!
Dude you burned it up !! Sounding good
Thanks!
Great solo man!!💪👍
Thanks!
I wish I could master that vibrato! And the tone is outstanding! Great great lesson!!!
Thanks! You can, it's just practicing it a bunch!
Sometimes i repeat these videos over and over again just to hear the solos and the tone of THAT GUITAR!!!! That tone is SWEEEEET!!!
Haha, thanks! Glad you liked it! It's a Dirty Shirley with the new Friedman Buxom boost! Great stuff!
Best teacher on youtube. How come, you make it almost too easy to learn. Somehow you can explain everything the way, it's very practical and I can put it onto my playing and start to use this stuff almost right away. Just little practise and you are, if not good, but better to go. Thanks!
Wow, thanks! Glad I could help you out! Thanks so much for watching!
Hey Papa, I have a question, or anyone else here. The THR10 console, should all my settings on the amp be clean when using the console to adjust tones? Thanks! It would be a great help.
+Kevin Hunt You know unfortunately that amp wasn't mine! Loved that thing but I had to give it back. Didn't get a chance to mess with it that much.
This sounds very Tim Pierce type....Glad you are learning along with us. You are an inspiration so is Tim.
Yep, every week haha! Thanks so much!
Dear papastache,
i love the way you do your videos, and it looks so easy how you do it on the guitar. I hope, one day i will be able to do all that stuff that easy.
Keep up the good work!
greetings from Germany!
Thanks! You will be able to do anything I can do! Thanks for watching!
So you can add the thirds from the G, C and D chords to the Am pentatonic scale but only when you are on those chords in the progression right? Excellent lesson!
Thanks! Yes, in this case, because those are the chords in the progression. Turns it into a 3 note per string scale. Good stuff!
Sooo R u working in some G major with in an A min Penatonic scale??
A Dorian second mode of the G major scale
Thanx. so if soloing over an A min 1-4-5 progression you could pretty much incorporate a G major scale long as U are not doing so when one/A min, comes back around??
Calling out 1-4-5 (A-D-E) will change the way you will analyze your chords.A 1-4-5 in G would be G-C-D
Keeping in the key of G using A as you root would be A Minor 2 , D Major 5, E Minor 6.
Ooo,ok. Hey thanx 4 the replies!!
Great playing! Awesome tone and vibrato! And ive just popped the top e string on my strat! :( lol
Haha! Thanks!
Finally!! You just made it all so clear. Thank you, Brett.
Sweet, glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Dear god... I forgot how gnarly of a player you were but that solo sure as shit reminded me!
Haha! Thanks, man! Thanks for watching!
Thank you !
You are so generous with your knowledge and i really appreciate it !
No problem! Thanks for checking out the videos!
I can see you have been hanging around Tim Pierce again... Great lesson !
Yep, every week haha! He is so good! Always pick something up. Thanks for watching!
even when falling on your face, i think, you, are genius...
Thanks!
You were cookin on that solo!
Thank ya! Thanks for watching!
or take two hours of your life and learn them
Could do that too! I know them by ear, and I know the shapes, so in theory, I know them haha!
it takes much longer then that to master the modes.
Brett are you liking that friedman more than your divided by 13 right now? Great playing and informative video.
I love them both. They are all my children haha!
brilliant teaching
Thank ya!
dope sound! wowowow
Thanks!
omg, you're killing it in the intro!
Thanks!
