Such a terrific lesson. Love the explanation of each note’s role! Thanks, Jeff!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Call in Am, response in Em - sounds great! Nice lesson Jeff.
Great idea!
Your phrasing is magic Jeff, great lesson!
Ah thanks!!!
That's pretty cool. When you played the E minor pentatonic over the A minor, it reminded me a lot of Larry Carlton.
Brilliant. You’ve opened the door for me. I can finally start to break out of my rut of always sounding like first position A minor pentatonic .
Awesome!!!
Great licks.
I noticed you never used the "m" word. Very smart.
Simple ways to use patterns are good for framing. Flavorful variation. Dig it!
The biggest trouble spot, sometimes is hearing the melody you are playing and trying to figure out where to go with the last note, or phrase! Always good to stick the landing! Pentatonics almost always work
I absolutely love how you explain how to get a modal sound with a pentatonic scale. Good stuff man
Thank you!!
What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend Jeff also Monday is my friends birthday also my birthday ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Wish him happy birthday !!
Love this. B minor pentatonic is nice too over this for another color. Can easily get 3 flavors over an A Dorian chord pattern, A, E and B minor pentatonics.
yup! One thing at a time! 😉
Love your True Fire course, Jeff. It’s the only one I actually finished! Your teaching style is eloquent, clear and direct. Good luck!
Awesome, thank you! Which course?
“Pentatonic Deep Dive.”
Thanx Jeff, it is amazing how you come up with practical ideas of playing every time!
Glad you like them!
Love this lesson! So simple yet sophisticated sounding. Working on it now.
So happy to hear that!!!
Tasty playing, tasty tips. 🤠 Thanks Jeff! 🤘👏
You are quite welcome!
Working between these two minor pentatonic scales, with just a half-step variance with one of the notes, makes for some interesting chromatic phasing possibilities. Absolutely fascinating! 🖖 Thank you for your continuing insight, I've learned so much from you!
Thanks for always being here Sam!
This is a great lesson. It really opened up a lot of new ideas for my soloing.
Awesome! Thank you for letting me know. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I love this!
Hey!! Thanks guys!!! Hope all is well!!
It’s MAGIC..!!💪🏼
🪄
Thanks Jeff, I’ve often wondered about this very thing. Because I’ve always noticed that the E minor pentatonic up there near the 12th fret, pretty much outlines in A minor chord. But I just sure because I don’t know that much theory.
🤟🤟
Great lesson!
Thank you!
Boy is this cool!
🤟🤟
Thanks Jeff
You’re welcome!
Great lesson I had to close my eyes and listen that beautiful DG PRS was continually distracting me. Thanks
Ha!!! It’s a looker!
Thanks Jeff. Looking forward to trying this out later. I always find these little mini lessons exciting, motivating, inspiring and, even though short, packed with plenty of food for thought!
Thank you and have fun!!
this is a great lesson, Jeff! It's really cool. Anything to enhance and alter that standard scale is a beautiful thing!
Thanks man!!
Cheers Jeff ! 🇦🇺
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Awesome lesson Jeff 👍 thanks for the great tips
Thanks for watching!
Nice lesson Jeff interesting Em concept 👍🎶
Thanks!!
Excellent tips and super-tasteful playing, as always.
Thanks!!
I love it, thanks for the easy to understand option to mix things up.
You are so welcome!
So good as always
Thanks man!
Awesome stuff as always. Thanks Jeff!
Thank you!!
Great lesson
Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Thanks a lot
Most welcome!
Jeff, in an A Dorian progression, wouldn’t you want Bm pentatonic? It willl add the F# which is the natural 6th of A Dorian and the 3rd of the D7. Plus you’ll still get the B. Another option at least.
You could for sure.
Sweet 🤟
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Fabulous, Jeff!
Thanks James!
Great lesson Jeff thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome!
So, about 2/3rds through, I was about to ask if you could overlay the 4th position of the Am pentatonic over the 1st position of the Em pentatonic at the 12th fret and work in and out of both. Of course, you said that soon after, as well as doing the same in other overlapping positions. So my next question is if this works with the between any 1st and 5th scale note combination such as Cm and Gm, or Gm and Dm, etc. ?
Yes! Oh man, I left that part out! The relationship! Oh well. Thanks for asking that question!! Just added some text with that explanation!
Sounds great, especially when you play it. For some reason when I play Em pentatonic it does not sounds the same. Guess I just need to keep practicing.
Ha! You’ll get it!
Great Lesson!
But the link for the free backing track and the tab doesn't seen to work?!
Nice Phrasing rkon
Thank you!!!
Dorian!
So if the root is A minor, will the fith minor pentatonic always work in any key. In other words, what is the theory behind the E minor pentatonic working with this A minor chord sequence? Hope this makes sense! Will it work over a 1,4,5 blues for example?
Yup!!
Thanks, inspiring. Backing track link not working, hope you can update.

@@JeffMcErlain Thanks, but it still say "Sorry, we couldn't find that page"
@@mikaelstrom1114 ugh it's working for me. OK try this which is for a different video but it'll enroll you in the RUclips Freebees section then you can download any of the other tracks etc. jmguitarlessons.com/courses/youtube-freebies/lectures/53115329
This sounds great, but the link to the backing track does not work.
Ugh, thanks for letting me know! I don’t know what’s going on as it’s working for me on multiple computers. Can you try a different browser? I have no idea what the issue is!
Jeff, so if E is the fifth of A, in the case of Gm, I could follow the same logic and use its fifth, Dm pentatonic ?
Yup!!
So by playing Emin pentatonic over A minor, youre effectively playing G major (so A dorian)? G major being the relative major of E minor?
Yes! But in thinking pentatonic it produces a unique sound.
@JeffMcErlain Awesome, thanks Jeff. 😊
OR… you could just play A Dorian😂
Sure, as I stated. A number of things though, what if you don’t know your modes yet, or are uncomfortable with using them? This is a great way to get into it. Also, and I believe the point you missed, Thinking about a scale differently such as E minor pentatonic over an A minor chord, although contained in the parent scale of A Dorian, makes you play and think differently. The combination of those five notes brings about a different sound. This is a common approach in jazz, something I learned from John Coltrane and other horn players. Scott Henderson talks about this all the time as well. Perception is everything. But wherever works for you.
The link to the backing track isn’t working
Just checked it again, it's working for me. Humm... I'm not sure what the issue is. You may have to enroll in my site but it is free.
Jeff, this link doesn't work for me either... hasnt in a while (i've tried before). I ended up finding it - first track in the RUclips Freebies course, but had to find it on my own
and yes, i'm fully signed up on your site! (also, teachable)
Humm. Try refreshing your cache? I just checked it again on two different browsers and it’s working for me. Technology…
@@JeffMcErlain Same issue for me. I double checked that I am logged into your site as well. It shows your banner, etc. and just says the file isn't found. darn computers 🙂
