    That pattern along with every positional pattern of the Major scale will be flavored major or minor Depending on what you tones that we put behind it.. Only because we are altering The intervalic values this is why to understand Major Minor Pentatonic and all the modes we must view the major scale over the entire neck as 1 big huge movable scale.

    • @zombieguitar
      @zombieguitar  3 года назад

      Yup exactly. That's why I refer to it as the "diatonic scale" rather than major or minor.

  • @TEBAIL-v6o
    @TEBAIL-v6o 3 года назад

    What people fail to understand is this ... The tones in C Major are in Fact the same in A minor but these common tones are also in fact very different in functionality so from a mapping standpoint its fair to say they are the same but from a musical standpoint we fail to interject "intervalic theory" when this element is introduced into the equaision we begin to see the huge differences and functions of those notes

    • @zombieguitar
      @zombieguitar  3 года назад

      Agreed 100%. It's all about the intervals....
      My point from the other day is that if you are going to say that there are "24 keys", then you would have to say that there were "72 keys" (we are excluding Locrian since it's very difficult to dictate a diminished chord to be the tonal center, otherwise it would be 84).
      What makes Aeolian so special that it deserves to be called a "key", whereas the other modes do not get that special treatment?
      If you can't answer that question, then it only makes sense to speak in terms of 12 key signatures.

    • @zombieguitar

      For each of the 12 key signatures, you can view it from the major perspective or the minor perspective. The relative major/minor concept applies to all 12 key signatures!

  • @blazemoyer
    @blazemoyer 2 года назад

    Hi Brian, great video as always. I do have an issue and maybe you can help. What brought me to your video was I am trying to find answers in regards to using the minor pentatonic scale pattern for the relative pair. Everywhere I looked at on the web and you tube states that they use the same notes and that is not true for example A minor and F# minor pentatonic uses completely different notes. Am uses: A C D E G and F#m uses: F# A B C# E. What I am I missing in regards to this concept? The information that I was reading stated this was a fast way for a new guitarist to breakout out the box by using the same pattern for both The major and the relative minor scale. They pretty much cover how to find the relative minor the same way you did in your video so that concept I totally understand. I get how A Major and F# minor both have the same notes in them. However I am totally confuse about the pentatonic part.

    • @zombieguitar
      @zombieguitar  2 года назад

      Hey Blaze...A major pentatonic and F# minor pentatonic do share the same notes.
      A major pentatonic:
      A B C# E F#
      F# minor pentatonic:
      F# A B C# E
      You wrote the notes out for A minor pentatonic, which is a different key signature altogether...
      A minor pentatonic:
      A C D E G
      You were mixing up A minor pentatonic with A major pentatonic!

    • @blazemoyer
      @blazemoyer 2 года назад

      Brian, thanks for the reply. I think maybe the source material is throwing me off. It definitely states “The easiest thing to do is to convert your minor pentatonic scale into a major pentatonic scale by moving it down 3 frets. It allows you to play in both minor and major keys using just one scale.” pattern,” and it provides a picture of the minor pentatonic shape. Which is the 1-4, 1-3, 1-3, 1-3, 1-4, 1-4, pattern. Do you any videos explaining this here on “ You tube” or the website (which I am a proud member of😄)? As always I appreciate your time and effort.

You would just pick and choose topics that you want to learn about, and simply click whichever ones you wanted to work on. Lots of the free lessons on the site also have "members only" content that appears once you are logged in. This is to help you reinforce and practice whatever the lesson topic is. Additionally, I am always available to answer questions for you via the contact form on the site.

    Hi Brian, thank you for sharing you thoughts with us. Great work!!!
    But, to me, the minor sounded a little "off key", as you where using Am/G/D. To me you should have used the A dorian mode, (because of the F# in the DMajor), or just made the progression Am/G/Dm...

      @zombieguitar  6 лет назад

      You are 100% right. I remember back when I made this video that I was just thinking "Mary Jane's Last Dance", so that's why I used those chords. But, ya technically the Am - D (i - IV) combination is what yields the Dorian mode.

    Hello Brian,
    Just started watching your videos recently. I am an intermediate guitar player, and know some things but feel like I would like to now put it all together a bit better. So what I would really like to know what order should we be watching your videos in? I don't mind at all if it covers things that I already know. What should we do first, second, third, etc. For instance should we learn the five pentatonic shapes first, then modes, then relative major minor, etc. Or, should we start with the major scale, minor scale, circle of fifths? Am just having a little difficulty putting it all together. I feel like I'm almost there, but need to know where to build the foundation, and add layer upon layer on top of it.
    Cheers and thanks,

    I still don't understand, what is the point of having minors at all? if the minor scale and the major scale are all the same notes just in a different order then aren't you ALWAYS playing in a major key anyways? If someone says play a 1-3-5 in D or they say play a 5-7-2 in G... aren't they playing the exact same thing in the exact same key? I'm super confused.

    • @zombieguitar
      @zombieguitar  3 года назад

      Of the 7 chords found in the key, whichever one is dictated to be the tonal center...determines the "mode". The major key sound is Ionian, which is centered around the I chord. The "minor key" sound is Aeolian, which centers around the vi chord. Each chord has an associated mode 😁
