Hi Greg. This is a tricky one. It's actually in D mixolydian which is the 5th degree of G major. D major pentatonic works because the 5 chord is also major. You are absolutely right about the C and D being the 4 and 5 of G major but the emphasis is on the D chord. That chord is the one that sound like "home". Hope this helps and answers your question
Steve, I love your videos. Bought a Guitar Zoom t-shirt and wear it with pride. It reminds me to practice every day that I eat! Great video, I get the point but you explain it very well which helped me to understand this concept more fully. Same thing happened the other day when I watched your video on the major scale. I've seen that a lot of players mix the major and minor pentatonic in solos, too. So much to learn! Much thanks, rock on!

It works in d minor but I think only a metal audience would really appreciate it but the way you explain it is excellent for immediate players like myself if you lived near me I would love to take lessons from you. Allman Brothers stuff is similar. You rock Steve.

Hi, thanks for commenting. Here are a couple of links where I discuss, chord progressions, chord chasing and fretboard knowledge in general. Not sure exactly which lesson you are looking for but I think these might help. ruclips.net/video/cvuq81Rgf0o/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Mtg5rop6ywU/видео.html ruclips.net/video/BVTThix1q5E/видео.html If you want to dig deeper into this and other topics check out this link.

Thanks for watching, Matthew! To answer your question, you can try substituting minor pentatonic for major pentatonic over any song you want to solo over. Or combine the two scales, as Steve shows in this video: ruclips.net/video/-8M7HrMcSNc/видео.html Hope this helps! :-) Just wanted to give you a heads-up, Steve Stine’s 6-Week Soloing Challenge is officially underway, and the first of Steve’s LIVE teaching sessions is taking place this Thursday (May 5). To join the challenge, go here ASAP (page closes soon!) and sign up: guitarzoom.com/6weeksoloingchallenge/promo-2/? If you want to play guitar solos with complete confidence, that sound more fluid and musical than you ever thought possible, you should definitely check it out. When you join the Challenge, you get lifetime access to two of Steve’s all-time best-selling courses, Essential Techniques and Music Theory Made Easy 2.0. With Essential Techniques, you’ll learn the secrets of building your picking speed and accuracy, strumming, bends, harmonics, and whammy bar tricks to spice up your guitar solos, and dozens of licks that will sound awesome in your solos. And with Music Theory Made Easy 2.0. you’ll discover all the music theory shortcuts you need to play freely across the entire fretboard and really get creative when it comes time to solo. Each of those courses can take your guitar playing to a much higher level. But they’re only part of Steve’s 6-Week Soloing Challenge. Because Steve’s holding 6 special live sessions, one for each week of the Challenge. There’s also a special Facebook group you can join, so you can share your progress with other guitarists.

Great question, Steve! I think in this case, Steve is using D pentatonic scales because D is the chord being played the most. But you're right, the chords G, C, and D are the I, IV, V (1, 4, 5) chords from the key of G. But check this out... here's the notes in the D major pentatonic scale: D E F# A B Now, the note G isn't in there (neither is C), but all of the notes in the D major pentatonic scale are also in the G major diatonic scale: G A B C D E F# Which means, even though you're using D major pentatonic, all the notes you're playing are also in the key of G, just like the chord progression.

Hi. Thanks for your comment. This is a common chord sequence found in many tunes. The idea was to show how we can approach soloing over this type of chords and not the original solo itself. Thanks again for commenting and feel free to ask any questions if you need to. 🙂

Hi Steve. How did you come up with D major? I thought the song was In G major? Aren’t the C&D the 4th and 5th?

Hello Steve. I love how you teach. 👏👏👏 I'm a newbie and wondering what minor pentatonic did you use for that solo? Is it B minor?
Thanks for watching! In the first part of the video, Steve plays D major pentatonic (notes D E F# A B), then he changes to D minor (notes D F G A C) a little later.

Thought this was to teach how to do the solos. Disappointed that it didn’t.
Hi. Thanks for your comment. This is a common chord sequence found in many tunes. The idea was to show how we can approach soloing over this type of chords and not the original solo itself. Thanks again for commenting and feel free to ask any questions if you need to. 🙂
We were hippy babies. LOL
Seems to me that a mix of major and minor would be appropriate in parts of the song according to lyrics, feel, etc.
