      major and minor pentatonic are the same i think
      the reason is because the very note that makes the scale either major or minor is removed to make a pentatonic scale because it's impossible to make a dissonant sound using just those very 5 notes.

      Correct but it is relative to tempo/melody/accent /pauses etc and often less is more when played with expression and dynamics ,the emphasis on speed and or modes of scales is only part of the whole and that is besides leaving 'sound 'out of it etc,both of these type of scales are also limited by your instruments ,or not.

    Gotta praise the mother of all scales.
    Seems to me that the easiest way to understand and play different modes and scales it's not to memorize all the different ways you can use the known shapes. But to visualize the Major Scale firstly by intervals.
    This way you can switch easily to any mode and scale you want to play by making the necessary simple adaptations, and then build the shapes (or not) from that. This way you might also better develop your understanding of the different sounds that different intervals produce, wich might make your playing sounds more creative and less "shape oriented" (where you just go up and down in well know limited patterns or boxes of a number of modes), and therefore making even the Major scale interesting to hear.

    • @SealedKiller
      @SealedKiller Год назад

      Even simpler, just think of it as starting and ending on a different note but still playing the same major scale.
      The major scale is key to music!
      Lets say you wanna play in phrygian mode over an F#m chord, well you just play the D major scale and make sure to hit chord tones and the root!

    For those who don't know, you can actually go from pentatonic to major easily by starting your major scale on the flat third of the pentatonic scale. This is a great why to make your improviseing more interesting. It also sounds really good with a flat 7. There is obviously more to it than just that but this is all I can really say in one comment. I encourage any guitarist to loom into this of you havent already.
