Great lesson .. of the FIVE positions of the minor pentatonic scales. Keep the same patterns as you move along the Thick E string AND if you change to another “Key”. as per your example .. The intervals of the FIVE positions on the thick E string stays the same being the (Root or 1, b3, 4, 5, b7 in order) “This became an Eye Opener and a game changer for me” As you stated it may take a week to learn the patterns .. true we tend to want to jump around. Practicing this concept helped me learn intervals as well as the notes of each pentatonic scale as well as notes on the fretboard! Once again you kept the concept brief and informative! Thanks
Great video. I’m Just trying to understand one thing. I was thinking that if you start on the say E string 3rd fret then that’s the G minor pentatonic. Obviously I’m wrong 😀. Starting on the G note, why is this still the E minor key? I’ll get practicing this straight away Lee. Thank you. 🙏
Great video! I find it quite useful. I think the Graphic at 8:20 is off for some reason. (Also at 1 minute in the video). Unless I’m missing something the third and fifth fret positions start on the 4th and 7th frets. All in all great stuff
Really useful i will try to memorize it by using it as a warmup exercice every time i pick up my guitar ! Didn't really understood the last part when you start with other notes than E tho
I know you have been asked this a million times but once proficient with those 5 positions what's the best next step to incorporate those positions into the goal of being able to sit down with other players and freely and easily play fills and solos around chord progressions.
Just the lesson I need to boost my guitar playing. I think I may have previously mentioned that I literally am poor at this aspect of my guitar journey. As always thank you Lee 😊
Cool lesson, Lee. I have a question, in the context of E minor pentatonic would the notes, B, D, E, G, A when played on the 3rd to 1st strings in the second position be considered the B.B.'s Box shape in relation to the first position of E minor pentatonic?
B.B. King mainly sat in two positions, the first one being the second position of the pentatonic on the B and top E string. The notes are D-E-G-A. But the one everyone refers to (BB’s Box) will be position 3 E-F#-A-B. If you go through the majority of his material, that’s what your find he’ll be using.👍
@@leejohnblackmoremusic Thanks, mate. At the moment I'm just working on improvising in the second position, i.e. using it in context, so will get to practicing the other positions in due course.
No beginner here but this is a big gap in my learning I’ve been meaning to get back to. Thanks for this.
I totally agree with you, I’m 100% the same!
Nice I've been practicing for about two years on and off I'm almost a beginner now
Very welcome!
Fantastic tutorial and beautiful background, but missing uncle Jean this week 😂❤
😁😁😁

If you can play guitar, you’re always rich.
@@tmurphy1000 There is definitely truth in that super quote ❤
You’re very welcome! Keep it up Geri 😃👍🎸
I might be wrong , but your first position illustration seem to be incorrect. At least not matching what is played…
You’re absolutely correct, in my haste editing I used the wrong graphic.
Thank you!
Thank you 🙏 this was a real eye-opener for me
You’re welcome
Always a thumbs up even before I watch...I miss your covers brother!
I appreciate that!
This is really what i need. Thank you Lee. Just love this lesson ❤❤
You’re very welcome 👍🎸
Can you also teach us how to play the Everloving song by Moby please ?
Thanks! You're the best. Love the Stairway to Heaven video, and Hey Joe. Rock On!
Thank you so much for your kind support! I really appreciate it 😁👍🎸
I am playing for 1è year but you make me understand the 5 positione v ery clearly tk u a lot friend
You’re very welcome, I’m happy it helped👍🎸
Tks for the lesson of the 5 shapes. Now a follow up would be how to put them all together so I can play like you did on the start of the video👍
It’s coming!
Do you jump from one scale to the next and play elements of it to essentially’solo’?
That’s definitely a possibility👍🎸
isn't the first position, 4th note/dot meant to be on the 2nd fret, not the third fret? otherwise great!
Yes, thanks for pointing that out. I totally missed it as I was rushing to edit! Really annoyed with myself🤦🏻♂️
Penta must mean five. Why there are ten and more notes in each of the positions?
Because we play both of the octaves if you count them the darker dots are the roots. Which means they’re all the same note.
Thanks LJB👍
Another great lesson!
My pleasure!
can we get a follow up on how to use this

Use the extension like I do in the beginning, that’s the best way to get going 👍🎸
@@leejohnblackmoremusic Will do. Cheers.
I don't know of any value in learning this other than a finger exercise. Not saying there isn't some value just that I don't know what it is.
