Unlock chord-scale connectors on the guitar
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 апр 2023
- Combining chords and scales on the guitar is something that so many guitar students ask me about in their lessons with me here in Vancouver. To many, it seems like such a difficult task because when they look down at the fretboard, they see so many options, too many, and it's all overwhelming.
But the truth of it is that we only need to see a few options at any time. We don't need to see the entire fretboard -- or think about all the music theory possible -- all at once to make a decision. When we have just a few great options, these ideas "light up" on the fretboard whenever we see these opportunities. Learn how to connect major chords with the major pentatonic scale.

Hi if ever I visit Canada i would like to visit you. Iam hope my dreams come true. Tc.
@@melroybent4213 Thanks Melroy!
A simple minor scale shape exists at the same location.
I am still learning, but to my understanding for the blues we use minor scales over major chords.
Is that a Les Paul Studio? Do they Still put a PC board in them?
@Dr Ali Akram You can use major over major, and in a blues context minor pentatonic over a blues or blues rock. But we cannot use major pentatonic over a minor key. Just doesn't work 😀
Your lessons are so easy to follow. No complicated guitar theory, just straight to the point. Lots of light bulb moments for me!
Great to hear, thanks for watching and commenting!
Another light bulb moment for me there Blue. I love how you connected the lower Barre C chord with same jam session. Excellent.
Great to hear thanks for watching!!
Another good one Blue, before you know it you'll have explained caged without saying caged.
Hahaha, thanks Charles, I do seem to be doing that 😎
What a great lesson. I look forward to every Saturday drop of a new one
Thanks again Henry! Good to see you here in the comments each week too 😀🎸
You are a great teacher, my friend. The information you have sincerely provided has opened a new window for me. It brought motivation, willingness to work and happiness. I would like to thank you very much for your contribution to humanity and music in this world where everything is reduced to money. I'm so glad to meet you.
Thank you for saying! Much appreciated 👍
Blue you’re a life changer I have struggled so much with the guitar, given up and tried again and again, hopefully you have given me hope again, thanks from the UK.
Glad to hear it! You can do it!
Great - i think this explains how to deal with all major chords .. !! 🤘🎸🎶
Thanks A P!
Seriously my playing has accelerated since I found this channel… thank you
Great to hear thank you! More lessons coming here and our Patreon www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver
Light bulb moment!!! A Greatful Dead, Gerry Garcia tone, that is so simple!! Thanks!
Great thanks Kenny!
Great lesson! Opens up so many different ideas. You are a great teacher. And thank you for creating this lesson. I realize how much time and effort gos into these videos.
Thanks Sal, that's great to hear, really appreciate the feedback!
You are a great guitar teacher because you know how to cut thru all the complex theory and come up with these gems! I’ve learned a lot in the last week alone just watching your videos. Bought yr solo book and now thinking on the patreon. Have to check it out.
Thanks Tim! Really appreciate that! Let me know if you have any questions about the book.
I can strum the guitar. Can't play lead. Watched tons of videos. Tired of playing plain scales. Now, after watching this video, i can play improvised melodies. Thank you from The Philippines
Awesome! That's great to hear! Thanks for commenting.
Totally. Try learning the 5 shapes. And then try coming out of "easy E shape" in both directions on the neck.
It will really open up what you can play.
A minor and C major are the best to learn at first.
Great video, clear, lucid information, plainly presented . Wonderful! Many thanks for posting , and best regards.
Thanks for watching and commenting
Yup, pretty cool. Simplified major pentatonic
Thanks again for watching QBRX!!!
Very well done Blue...cheers!
Thanks RB, thanks again for watching each week!
Again, making another concept seem very easy and quickly relatable. It's absolutely brilliant.
Thanks again Neil! 👍
Great lesson!! Cystal clear - just what I need!!
Good to hear, thanks Lee!!
Dude I love your videos. What a great teacher. The things I’ve learned since finding you on here. Keep up the the great work.
Glad to hear it thanks Paul! Lots more on our Patreon too if you haven't checked that out yet. www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver
Your guitar lessons are absolutely amazing. I was feeling stuck for so long. I´ve learned so much since I´m watching your videos. Can´t thank you enough! You´re a fantastic teacher. Greetings from Germany
Great to hear, glad I could help
Wa... Such great tips! I've been playing for more years than I care to admit and never thought of these simple ideas.... It just occurred to me that we've covered the I and IV chords of the three blues chords... That D (V) chord just two frets above the C is tantalizing close. Allman Brothers major scale blues, here we come!
Yeah love that Allman Brothers sound !!! 🎸👍
You have a real knack for making things make sense. Thank you!
Thanks Jim!!
Brilliant instructional video. Exactly the sort of thing I wish was available 40 years ago !
Thanks James!
It was right in my face and I couldn't see it. I can't believe that I can finally solo. Thank you so much, Blue Morris!
Fantastic! Really glad to hear that, congrats 😎
Blue, another great lesson. Your books and your Patreon site are the best!
Thank you! Much appreciated :)
Agree!
Wonderful stuff here.....the fog clears more every time I see your videos!! Thank you :)
Great to hear, thanks!
You are providing some solid practical content-excellent job.
Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
Thankyou for your broadcast,,,,I play strings and I will have to check out your teaching posts...I don't read music, but my hands love my guitar...thanks , John
Thank you John!
That is very, very useful - thank you! (and there wasn’t 40 minutes of incomprehensible waffle and mindless noodling before I got to the bit I could actually use in my own playing). Good stuff. 👍
Glad to hear it thanks Paul!
Blue you have become one of my favorites bro. Haha I wake up on Saturday waiting to see what good stuff you have come up with. Keep it up bro. You are killing it.
Glad to hear thanks Jeremy!
Explained very understandable, which is a rare art in teaching , great job
Thank you Arty lots more coming to this channel!
Great delivery. What's easy is the way you make it easy to understand. Very well put. 👏 Bravo!

Thanks and welcome to the channel
What a great lesson! Thank you!
What about making a video just like this one but mixing minor and major shapes, connections and “opportunities” next door? I would love to see something like that.
Love your job. Thank you again 😊
I had this whole meticulously well thought out question 85% typed out while watching the video and at 9:40’ish you answered it (about A string bar chords using the same shape). Awesome.
Great great video. Thank you 😊
Cool! thanks for watching long enough to get the answer 🙂
Most helpful video for me so far and my knowledge on guitar. Thanks.
Glad to hear thank you!!
Blue, you have an amazing ability to explain these concepts in a way that makes so much sense to me.
Great to hear thank you!!

Thanks for watching
Great Lesson.
I'm in Scotland - just ordered your Soloing Like A PRO for urgen delivery from Amazon UK
Keep up the enjoyable, informative and well produced You Tube instructions. Thanks.
Cool, thanks for ordering the book! Look for the page near the beginning with the URL to download the sample MP3s and jam tracks. Sometimes people miss that. And let me know if you have any questions about the book. Thanks! Blue
Another awesome lesson!
Thanks Mark!
Mind blown! Love your teaching style. Sub'd and looking forward to watching other videos. 👍
Great! Welcome to the channel!!
From one BC boy to another....your instruction is fantastic.
Cool thanks! Nice to see some more BC'ers on here
Love the way you explained.
Thanks for watching 🎸
when you said you aren't calculating during improv, that helped me realize I am overthinking a TON! Thank you so much for sharing the information, time to binge your channel!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful! Lots more on the channel
Great lesson, and I have watched hundreds!
Thanks Anthony! Lots more coming to this channel!
Thanks man, this is awesome and really useful. Subscribed! ❤
Great! Welcome to the channel!
Love your explanations
You don't want to be overactive (me) in your rhythm playing and slowing down which can be a problem. You get a great connection to a chord song More of a rhythm vibe than a fill lead vibe then you can do a solo whatever you need -a dive bomb make horrible racket and everybody's happy .... well almost... 🤣
(nice bookcase)
Cool thanks! Lots more coming!
Great insight blue
Thanks Tom!!!
Dude…I dig your practical approach to soloing. when are you getting to New York for a weekend workshop.
Oh man, that would be fun!! Maybe one day. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! This is quite possibly the best and most useful lesson for beginners/intermediates on guitar - it’s practical and encourages people like me to play melodically and with purpose :)
