    A little about me:
    Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
    Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
    He plays and teaches guitar on his RUclips channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.

    Thanks!
    For those who want some summary (and to be corrected if I’m wrong!): you can take any major key’s 1, 4 and 5 (which are also major chords in that key) and play their pentatonics. They are “strong” enough to sound smooth in that key. And moreover, transition to the pentatonic of their (1, 4 or 5) adjacent minor key via 6th note is still sounds cool if you end riff with the original pentatonic’s note (1, 4 or 5; like “returning back”).

    • @thediamonddog95
      @thediamonddog95 3 года назад +2

      I think the thing about all these older musicIans is environment in which they grove up. They were surrounded by blues, jazz, folk, country & western, classical, soul, early rock n roll, by their early age, so they had a feeling for putting ideas together easily into a creative form, for rhythm and creating interesting melodies. They didn't have to study like we do, since we are usually surrounded by pop.
      Also, older musicians like Hendrix learned by watching other musicians playing, and in communication with them. Nowadays, people usually learn it individually, while sitting at home, and in a free time from doing other things.

    We would call those 'landing spots, or places'. When you get lost (not if, because you will 8) in a solo, you have a place to land and re-start. An octave is down 2 and up 2 (adjusting 1 for the B string), so you always know where the next 1 is. You could also pick a key, then find all the 1's, then the notes to play and the ones to skip is the scale. After awhile you can hear that, and things get easier. 50-ish years ago we didn't have anyone to tell us things like that, like YT, it was an "ah ha" moment when we figured it out ourselves! LOL So everyone thank Sean for all the great tips and tricks!! 8) JMHO --gary

    @mp3o 3 года назад

    Not confusing to me, but could be for beginners. An individual note does not have a relative minor note. Major scales have relative minor scales, and minor scales have relative major scales. Not chords, not notes. In the key of C major, A is the root of the relative minor scale, and in the key of A minor, C is the root of the relative major, etc. It is absolutely useful to understand the relationships between chords. For example, adding an A to a C major chord creates a C6 chord. Likewise, adding a G to an A minor chord creates an Am7 chord, The real brain twister is that both of those chords ( C6 & Am7 ) have the same notes. Usually, the lowest note is the name of the chord, but if you play with a bass player, even that isn't required.
