I saw this 4 years ago, and i see it again after the fact, and it's still inspiring - I know we all have different takes on methodology in music especially jazz and improvisation (Hint- we can learn from each other and still be unique rather than closing ourselves) but to those 6 people who disliked the video- I truly feel sorry for you all. Chad- you're the man, really good material, simple, short, and precise.
@@saxyrep1 yes, you are right imo. For me another most important point is "articulation". Perhaps you check Chad's video about "4 Tips For Practicing Scales" by about 7:50 Min. For me was that an eye opener. Keep on practice... ;-)
It works similarly but there'll be more tension with Bb minor pentatonic. The tension is cumulative so everytime you use the scale a minor third away (as G is from E and Bb is from G) the tension with increase (ie, more non-diatonic notes). So by that reasoning you could keep going through this cycle and eventually resolve back to E minor (although it may be a painful process). Obviously there's more to it than that but I didn't want to ramble on too much, it's the kind of thing that makes more sense the more you play it. I hope that was helpful :)

Wow! I just came across this video of Chad when he was still playing with a straight embochure... He still sounds like Chad 🤣🤣

so when is the pentatonic shifting method coming out
This is an awesome advice! Thanks!!
Thank you so much for this! Keep shedding man, youre great!
Ive been playing minor pentatonic by flattening the third. Thanks for this. Now to practice this correctly
good Chad !
Are you using certain patterns for combining several pentatonic scales or you just play this freely?
No more Skype lessons, but loads of material at his website.
I dig it.
How in the world do you make the pentatonics sound like that?
@@kazire4591 "Just practice" makes no sense on its own : knowing what works and why and then practicing diligently and intelligently is key.

@@michaelvogt-gitarre9096 Yup, that's a good video. Take care !
wow ... I din't really think you could do that much/never imagined that much could be done with pentatonics! thanks chad! :)
Brilliant 👌🏻
Thanks Chad
Great lesson, thanks!!!
🔥
Thanks - your sound seems bigger with this set up, right?
what you played here 00:56 - 01:00 ?
D minor pentatonic (concert)
About the pentatonic shifting, does it work the same if I shift from Em to Bbm? Thank you!
It works similarly but there'll be more tension with Bb minor pentatonic. The tension is cumulative so everytime you use the scale a minor third away (as G is from E and Bb is from G) the tension with increase (ie, more non-diatonic notes).
