- Here's a quick guitar lesson on one of my favorite tricks for soloing over major 7th chords. Learn how to master the chord tones and extensions of the major 7th chord family with pentatonic scales!
Great Lesson, I love the way the major pentatonic on the five works over the major chord, sounds great
Love it!
Every time I watch one of your videos it makes me want to play again! New knowledge definitely rekindles the love!
And having gone to AIM often it's a reminder of what I was being taught at the time. But it makes more sense to me now 😉👉
Thanks man! I'm honored to hear that these videos are inspiring. I think it's pretty common to feel like the material from the music school makes more sense as time goes on. We threw a lot of material at you guys in a short amount of time over there!
amazing lesson. was a teacher precovid and every student wants to be able to "noodle" but sound pro... this video is an amazing example on "less is more" and you dont need to be a pro and totally have the guitar mastered to sound great and impress your friends and be able to compose. very good job carl:)
Beautiful music! I really enjoyed your video.
Thank you, Sweetie!
You’re welcome,my love!😘
So Carl, I completely agree with Denton Music below. Watching you lesson made me want to grab my guitar. That must be the sign of a great lesson and tasteful playing on your part. Thanks for the great lesson. I've been struggling with playing over maj7 for a while and now I can start from here, enjoy what I am playing and move forward. Fantastic, thanks!
Thank you! I'm glad you found this video helpful! And thanks for watching and commenting!
Ok why doesn’t this video have 10k likes even just the day after it dropped? Hey man, you’re an excellent teacher, in this video swimming in sort of a pool that intermediate players can float around in. It’s rare around these parts. Most videos sit in a beginner/intermediate zone, explaining all the scales we already know wasting time, or in the intermediate/advanced zone, racing over ideas too fast like Jens Larson. This was one idea, the why, and how to quickly recall it.
I was already this morning sitting on a vamp of cmaj7 and amin , and I couldn’t figure out why I kept wanting to play em pent and bmin pent, I understood it sonically and pulled a melody out of it, but couldn’t explain it with limited/average theory. Boom, here was not only my answer, but an answer phrased in a way that I could use it in any key without thinking, using pent shorthand. But also, if I got trapped at a bar being asked why it works theory-wise, I got the answer.
I’ll check out your channel; but if it’s not full of lessons, get on it man.
Thank you.
Thank you, Jason! So glad you enjoyed this video. I haven't been uploading a lot of lessons on here since it seems like there isn't much interest in it. But your comment is inspiring! Maybe I'll revisit the idea of shooting more lessons for this channel. It really makes a difference to hear from someone that connects with it! Thanks for watching and commenting! And I'll see what I can do about sharing more lessons on here!
Great information!
Great Ideas. Thank you
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thanks Carl I can appreciate but not many people could handle me I do know a great deal about the basics of music theory and I can read some music notes, and I am an advanced guitar player. Most of my learning was self taught watching and listening to great players. About 20 years ago after I had been playing over 30 years I took one lesson with a guy ONE, I was paying him to teach me what I already knew. The great Glen Campbell died a while back and played as session player in California and Nashville and could not or did not read music and I’m sure he cried about it all the way to the bank. Now, I think what I meant was some people make music theory much harder to understand than it really is and some of the greatest guitars there ever was did not have formal teaching. I think there are probably some guys out there who could assist me in a greater understanding of things I could learn that would help me based first on what I already know if not I wouldn’t waste my time I’m too old for that. And there are some pretty good lessons out there I just don’t need most of them been there done that. Thanks Carl Rock On!
🙂 👍
Hi Carl very interesting analysis of the scale chord relationship! I was wondering if there was any similar approach with minor 7th chords???
im a beginner so i have a A minor track and in it has an fmaj7 chord in it so i know i can play an A minor pent. and the a minor natural scale but i wanted to play the fmaj scale when the chord comes in the track and then switch back to the A minor when that hits but it sounds crappy why?
Wow Carl I think you lost me when you first started talking. I’m not much on theory and can’t follow music professors though I need to learn more theory just been playing so many years from scale root and positions and grips on the fretboard I would love to learn some modes but nobody on RUclips can teach them that gives me a grip
I think it really helps most people to study the basic music theory concepts with a teacher in person. The abstract nature of the information makes it hard to anticipate a particular student's needs and perspective without being present with them. That's probably why you don't get a lot of effective teaching of basics online. Having said that, there could certainly be someone out there presenting those basics in a way that would be relatable for you.
