I'm from Kentucky ,old man with cancer that loves learning guitar,now your so happy and wonderful to learn from ,I wish more people could be like you ,your great ,thank you ,I need you're help so please keep teaching me ,before I'm gone ,all I dream of is rocking out , couple times before it's over for me ,so thank you ,your the greatest
She is a really Great Teacher! She breaks it down into understandable conversations without talking down to the student . Thank You, Ayla!❤️ I Appreciate Your Down-To-Earth Style...🤗😊👍 Your Lessons Have Been Very Helpful To Me.🙏🙏🙏
Every time I learn something new about the guitar (or music in general), I realise how much more there is to learn. And I absolutely love it and don't see myself getting bored in the next few decades lol
I've already been playing for 3 decades, i can tell you ahead of time, YOU DON'T GET BORED OF IT AND YOU'RE ALWAYS FIGURING OUT NEW SHIT if you actually sit down and sort of calculate how many combinations are actually possible in a solo progression man.. i'ts like, it would take you 3 lifetimes to play them all , Every combination one after the other until you have no more combinations it's just crazy when you think about it so yeah.. trust me , You'll never get to a point where you'll say to yourself, ok, I've learned it all THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN
Bro, i'm with the same mind rn, may I ask how do you do to make yourself not frustrated that you might not be progressing with so much to learn ? I've just discovered this channel, and I'm in love 'cause of the knowledge being transmitted, maybe it'll help me a lot...
I could listen to her talk all day about anything but she sure has a great way of breaking things down with scales and approach , a master teacher at such a young age , incredible .
Hi Ayla I am taking up playing guitar again after many many years. Your videos are so refreshing and easy to understand. I am 64 years old but inspired as if I was 15 years old. Determined to learn all that I could learn if I had lessons like yours when I was a kid.
@@MegaMinecraftluver Well Sophia I play a lot at home. I have a 5w amp and a decent LP JR copy and some pedals. I took some lessons but I found that following videos on the RUclips gives me more. The things is having fun and let people like you Sophie guide us to become better musicians. My ame is to become better on guitar then I was when i was a youngster.
@@chrisseger6420 so great to hear it!! im a teacher at a music studio and agree youtube is more helpful if you have a healthy helping of volition. keep it up!
Ayla, I'm an old guy that has been playing for a long time. I just came out of a nearly 2 year hiatus without playing at all. I've been wanting to take my playing up a level or two to a long time. I've been watching very many instructional videos for quite some time but I've got to tell you, I got more out of this one video than I have from any I have watched in a very long time. You are absolutely amazing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
She is a very skilled person who is not only able to play the Guitar with total emotional connection to the music. She can also deliver crystal clear tutorials in either a graphic or oral fluency that belie her age. There are swathes of considerably older academic tutors (I have experienced many of them) who can't compare to her effortless and informative representational abilities. Keep rockin' Ayla. The world desperately a new musical revolution to carry it through the current depressing era..
I've just gotta say - I'm a 48yr old metalhead musician who picked the guitar back up after a roughly 20 year gap in playing. I've watched just about every damn "beginner" vid out there over the last year or two and Ayla is honestly the best teacher that I've come across on YT. I grew up singing and playing power chord metal, and developed very solid palm muting chugs along the way, but had never taken the time to learn my scales, or even proper chords outside of the basics. But now, thanks to Ayla's vids, I'm really starting to make real progress! This young lady has a way of explaining things that has resonated with me more than just about any teacher on this platform. So THANK YOU AYLA! Keep up the great work! I'm eternally grateful. 💯 🤘
The challenge with lessons is making it have practical sense meaning it’s easily obtainable to use as a tool during real-time performance. The short of this is: hey guys this is a minor pentatonic scale. When starting the scale with your first finger on the root, it’s minor. Take the same scale and start it with your pinky finger on the root but shift the scale down so the pinky is the minor 3rd of the minor pentatonic scale. This is a major pentatonic. This way the only thing the student really needs to know is the first finger and pinky finger position on the root and major minor based on the finger used. My 2 cents.
That's a good approach for beginners but the intervals have changed between major & minor...and it's important to know where the chord tones lie in the scale so you know what to resolve to, etc.
IMO the intervals don’t change between Major and Minor, not even between any of the modes. Examining the intervals is an academic exercise (and a very confusing one!). In my mind, Everything is WWH-WWWH. Minor scales are just the 6th (Aeolian) mode of Major scales-which means they have the same notes, and therefore necessarily...the same intervals. You just start/finish on a different note within the interval pattern.
Ayla, thank you for the lesson. You are very articulate, a great player and so easy to listen to. You should have your own channel and it would be a sensation.
Holy shit! TOTAL A-HA MOMENT FOR ME! I've been playing guItar non-committally(?) for years now but I've never been able to understand, conceptually and practically,how solo guitarist can make solos sound so different with just the pentatonic scale but now I think I get it! I discovered Guitreo just a few weeks ago with Nate's blues tutorials and started watching Ayla's videos not too long after and I LOVE THEIR STYLE OF TEACHING! I don't know why but the was they breakdown theory and practice makes it so easy for me to understand guitar in a way I've never been able to before. THANK YOU GUITAREO AND NATE AND AYLA!!! I can't wait to continue learning and playing!
Miss Ayla is a great guitarist and, now I know, a great teacher too. Simple yet mindblowing concept that really opens my playing as veteran beginner. More lessons with her please.
I’ve had guitars over the years and never really learned that much, but am now inspired by my son and his friends that can play anything and are making music in my basement. Giving it another go and I don’t know how anyone could NOT learn from Ayla. She has the most unbelievable and soothing delivery, I will watch and follow her instructions gladly.
It’s nice to see such a young person enjoying all these interval thinking and making the fretboard her play field It took me so many nights trying the instrument by myself (not even playing along to recorded music), trying to find out the “rules” of music... all those moments will die sooner or later. The tough that someone else probably half as old as me is exploring the same fields of the mind but in her own way makes me feel I’m not alone. I’m part of something greater.
When she said the pentatonic is like an infomercial phone number, 5-8, 5-7, 5-7, etc, the whole thing cracked wide open for me. Not sure if it was in this video or another one, but with so much to learn, that was really helpful.

It made perfect sense to me ..... Thanks a million times ... I've watched thousands of videos on modes and it always discouraged me because they way most people explain it is very complicated ... and now for the first time I think I get it .
i am so impressed! some may not understand yet put she opened the door to make one look at the intervals now as you connect the scales [ pentatonic] it will open new Ideas to your playing GREAT JOB !!!!!!
Yes, that's great input, I've been playing for over 10 years now and I realized that somewhere along that road and it completely changed my perspective over the guitar. Now watching you talk about it, the use of the minor as an "anchor" made total sense to me, you cleared that fogged though. Great class, thank you!!
Im awestruck by your siple explanations. I never learned theory, learned to play by ear. just Lost my Father and im turning to my music to ease the pain. Thankyou for Being a fresh start to push me into that realm. Just happened to stumble on to your video so i subscribed! My Dad wanted me to do what I Desire most in life as it goes by like butter in the sun! God Bless yo Ayla♥️😢
I noticed that a lot of people who post content on RUclips are Canadian by their accent. Maybe it's the vast amount of expanse and the cold weather that makes many Canadians create content online.
I like the way to interpret the variants of scale, transitioning from the classic pentatonic minor scale which extends to mixolydian and then dorian scale. That is a progressive and smart way to improvise the music not reliant on the fixation to one specific scale but mesmerizing how invaluably we could reproduce the melody in a more vibrant manner.
Ive come across this video many times in my 2 years of playing guitar so far and when I first watched it I had no idea what was going on. Now I can see what she says so clearly once I somewhat learned the minor pentatonic scales.
I will ignore any immature comments or insults aimed at me (as I’m sure Ayla will). I find your teaching style very easy to understand, because you have a friendly disposition. Thanks for another great lesson that I can refer back to when needed. Music should be fun & good for the soul, which you portray eloquently 😊
I really love his passion for teaching and always being happy while doing it, it really makes you want to hear her. More videos with her please!! Greetings from Argentina
C'mon guys, this is a music lesson, not an english one, be more flexible..., of course the guy it's referring to her despite the his... Un saludo Roman. Es bueno saber que hay gente con buen gusto musical en nuestro País, y sobre todo que escuche al gran SRV :)
Hernán Guillermo Wendt jajajaja, se me escapó el his y estos yankees ya me hacen pasar factura. Gracias por el apoyo! Y claro que escucho al grandioso Stevie, no se que seria de mi sino. Te mando un saludo grande!
Adding in the modes to the pentatonic makes is so simple. No one has ever shown it this way. Thank you so much. I love your upbeat positive attitude with a smile.
Great lesson. I view the fretboard in a similar way. I have my "home base" scale patterns such as the major scale and the pentatonic minor, and then I view the other modes as extensions/variations of these scales. I like how she ties it all back to the pentatonic minor.
“Even if what I was playing sounded good, it didn’t count if I didn’t understand how it worked. That’s wrong” - This sentence hit home. It sums up my problem really well and points me in the right direction.
I've been playing for about 50 years, and I'm often curious about how others approach soloing, etc., so I appreciate this video. I'm also fascinated by the comments section on the video (and other like it). There is always that handful who have to explain how Ayla (or whomever) is "teaching it all wrong." I notice two things about these comments. First, they don't seem to comprehend that she is showing HER approach, so it's impossible for her to teach that the "wrong way." Second, none of these critics have linked to the videos THEY created that approach it the "right" way.
Until now, I've been trying to get good at going through the scales. But she's opened my eyes to ALL scales. I've found that by jumping around a particular scale, I can actually produce tunes. It doesn't matter how I jump around, as long as I stick to that scale. I've been like a little kid in a candy shop. I don't know why other instructors on you tube haven't showed us this fact. Thanks Ayla
Never heard of her but love her after this first vid. So pleasant, peaceful, positive (we all need positive vibes). Her approach is amazing. I learn much and I’m not a guitar player
Just saw this video the other day . I've been playing guitar for nearly 30 years now and I've been using the pentatonic scales in conjunction with the Dorian and mixolydian modes for many years. It's nice to see it explained the way you did. Your a really good guitarist and teacher. Hopefully I can learn more from your channel
I've learnt all of that as a kid and 15 years later I'm finally thinking I'd like to go back to music. Thanks for such a clear way of lighting up those old memories and for the relaxed, positive attitude. I'd definitely pick you as my teacher :D
Ayla, you are amazing and an awesome teacher. I've been playing for almost 30 years and have been "coloring" my lead work just like you've presented here but never knew the rhyme or reason as to why it sounded like it did. Thank you for illustrating how these things work!
The one thing I got on this, being a heavy natural minor player, when she did the slide up trick to pos two on the high three strings,seeing that is actually pentatonic and the root is second spot on b string. Thanks!
I can only wish that after playing on and off for more than 50 years, I was even close to as good as Ayla. When I first began to learn soloing on an electric guitar near the age of 70, having been an acoustic folkie since the late '60s, like most novices, I began with the pentatonic minor. After a couple of years, I added a couple of notes that I later found out were the 9th and 2nd, which resulted in more melodic possibilities. I then added the 6th to both the 9th and 2nd. Thank you Ayla for validating this approach. I don't play the major scale (which has too many moving parts for me), and I only can think in terms of minor pentatonic with added intervals for 'color.'
Hi Ayla, this video is one of the best explanations I've heard on using modes (making them practical) and I've been playing guitar 30 plus years. THANK YOU!
I think this is a really helpful way to look at how these scales are connected. We can see them overlapped instead of thinking of them separately. Good perspective. Thanks
Awesome. "If it Sounds Good, it's good" = so simple, . . . yet So True. Enjoyed the lesson. Love your passion & enthusiasm for teaching. Stay Safe. oNe LovE from NYC
One of the better tutorials I've seen on here. Explained in a very clear manner. More teachers should take your approach to explaining how music works. Very nice job thank you.
A great lesson from an obviously great guitarist! My favourite thing about this channel though, is the happy and positive vibe that is always present👌I do prefer Ayla's smile to Nate's tho... Just sayin. 🤘
I completely agree with her that theory is a great tool to help you, but the true lesson is "if it sounds good it is good"! If you want to be a technically proficient musician, then theory all the way. If you want to have a base to work from, yet write/play something with pure emotion, it's a useful tool to add to that process.
You're a great teacher. I wish I could make more use of this when playing (I'm pretty good, but not as good as you). Been trying to mess around in Locrian, to see if I can make something musical sounding to me out of it. Funny thing is, I don't play as well when I'm thinking about it. I'm happier with my playing if I'm thinking about other things when I'm playing, like how my job sucks, or how pretty a lady in the bar was last night, or whatever. People would be like "That was cool...play that again...", and I'd be like "I don't remember what I did...if you were watching, you probably know more about what I played than I do...". I can learn and remember other people's solos well enough, but I'd probably wouldn't have been a great band guitarist, cause I'd have to go back and figure out what I improvised on the record.
I think people just use theory in a wrong way, as in trying to be guided by it, when theory is just a way to describe why and how you can get a certain flavour. It isn't to be used as a clutch.
After all these days watching about modes she made me clear somehow now its making sense to me guys.dont know bout you guys but i watched lots of videos out there but this makes sense i guess differentiating modes side by side really helps to understand this part.. thank you ...
It's great when you are able to switch from the minor to the major scale. I've learned it this way: - learning all 5 pentatonic patterns and adding the 2 notes to then be able to play a full minor/major scale, - ...where the root notes are in pentatonic minor, - ...where they are in pentatonic major, - ...to switch from minor to major. Then you are able to just check where a root note is and remember the respective pattern. You can then play any major or minor scale you want to if you know each "formula" of the 7 modes.
Ayla, I stumbled upon your channel and LOVE it!! For only being 21 or 22, you are gifted beyond your years! Thanks for being such a great teacher - I can tell you love what you do!!
Good stuff. Another great way to look at pentatonic scales is as a triad with a couple added intervals. In the case of minor pentatonic, it's a minor triad with an added 4th and 7th (or a minor 7 chord with an added 4th, if you prefer). Learning to see them this way helped me "anchor" them to chords, and to be able to see them better outside the typical "box 1" position. There's still plenty more I could do with it, but the concept and process of knowing the triad/arpeggio shape that lies inside each pentatonic shape or pattern is very helpful.
The reason why satan never appeared is because YOU WERE PLAYING THE WRONG SCALE No... You're thinking about the LYDIAN SCALE aka. The Devil's Scale Aka the Simpsons tune was written in the Lydian scale because bart is a trouble maker, THAT'S A FACT Legend has it that if you play the Lydian scale front to back 6 times, Satan himself will appear I DARE YOU....... I FUCKING DARE YOU TO haha

That is a progressive and smart way to improvise the music not reliant on the fixation to one specific scale but mesmerizing how invaluably we could reproduce the melody in a more vibrant manner.
Ive come across this video many times in my 2 years of playing guitar so far and when I first watched it I had no idea what was going on. Now I can see what she says so clearly once I somewhat learned the minor pentatonic scales.
Her rendition of “The wind cries Mary” is so good
Sounded clean as fuuuuuuck
I will ignore any immature comments or insults aimed at me (as I’m sure Ayla will). I find your teaching style very easy to understand, because you have a friendly disposition. Thanks for another great lesson that I can refer back to when needed. Music should be fun & good for the soul, which you portray eloquently 😊
I have been playing lead guitar and your videos are teaching me new ways to explore the range of the guitar. thank you.
Coming from a guitar player who has been playing for 40 years you are a very talented young lady. ❤️🙏🏻😎🎸
Well taught! Love this description of the modes and scales. Much clearer to me, now.
Bravissima, ottima lezione. Saluti da Palermo, Italy. Mi è anche piaciuta molto la musica di Ludic. Eccellente.
I really love his passion for teaching and always being happy while doing it, it really makes you want to hear her. More videos with her please!! Greetings from Argentina
You mean you love HER passion for teaching.
Don't get the genders mixed up.
Shes' a girl Not a guy
you don't love HIS passion
you really love HER passion
C'mon guys, this is a music lesson, not an english one, be more flexible..., of course the guy it's referring to her despite the his...
Un saludo Roman. Es bueno saber que hay gente con buen gusto musical en nuestro País, y sobre todo que escuche al gran SRV :)

i know this is a music lesson
also , i wasn't being a dick, i was just telling him so that he could learn, why is that a crime ?
Hernán Guillermo Wendt jajajaja, se me escapó el his y estos yankees ya me hacen pasar factura. Gracias por el apoyo! Y claro que escucho al grandioso Stevie, no se que seria de mi sino. Te mando un saludo grande!
Adding in the modes to the pentatonic makes is so simple. No one has ever shown it this way. Thank you so much. I love your upbeat positive attitude with a smile.
Great lesson. I view the fretboard in a similar way. I have my "home base" scale patterns such as the major scale and the pentatonic minor, and then I view the other modes as extensions/variations of these scales. I like how she ties it all back to the pentatonic minor.
“Even if what I was playing sounded good, it didn’t count if I didn’t understand how it worked. That’s wrong” - This sentence hit home. It sums up my problem really well and points me in the right direction.
It made sense until it got confusing. At least I can fall back on my minor pentatonic. Seriously this should be a series.
Yeah they never explain this stuff, I just improvise, with what sounds good in key
This is the best teaching for any level of guitar palyer. Friendly helpful! Unreal Demos! Anchor!
Very intelligent young lady. Easy to understand. That's a gift.
I've been playing for about 50 years, and I'm often curious about how others approach soloing, etc., so I appreciate this video.
I'm also fascinated by the comments section on the video (and other like it). There is always that handful who have to explain how Ayla (or whomever) is "teaching it all wrong." I notice two things about these comments. First, they don't seem to comprehend that she is showing HER approach, so it's impossible for her to teach that the "wrong way." Second, none of these critics have linked to the videos THEY created that approach it the "right" way.
I'm pretty sure that was the first time I actually understood scales
Until now, I've been trying to get good at going through the scales. But she's opened my eyes to ALL scales. I've found that by jumping around a particular scale, I can actually produce tunes. It doesn't matter how I jump around, as long as I stick to that scale. I've been like a little kid in a candy shop. I don't know why other instructors on you tube haven't showed us this fact.
Thanks Ayla
This is a great lesson, it has helped me with the modes in a fresh way. Great playing!
Excellent tuition. I’ve played guitar for 41 years (I’m 55yo) and I learned heaps from this video. Definitely subscribe 😊👍
She is an awesome guitar player.
Agreed
I 4th that!
5 agreements
I can outplay her easily though
@@PublicEnemy1337 may i please ask for a proof
Never heard of her but love her after this first vid. So pleasant, peaceful, positive (we all need positive vibes). Her approach is amazing. I learn much and I’m not a guitar player
She hits the nail on the head with 'if it sounds good it sounds good'!
Just saw this video the other day . I've been playing guitar for nearly 30 years now and I've been using the pentatonic scales in conjunction with the Dorian and mixolydian modes for many years. It's nice to see it explained the way you did. Your a really good guitarist and teacher. Hopefully I can learn more from your channel
Thanks for the great lesson, I have been working to solidify these concepts in my mind and sometimes it's nice to get a fresh perspective.
I've learnt all of that as a kid and 15 years later I'm finally thinking I'd like to go back to music. Thanks for such a clear way of lighting up those old memories and for the relaxed, positive attitude. I'd definitely pick you as my teacher :D
This video helped me greatly and that’s saying a lot because I had given up on RUclips videos to help me understand music theory.
Ayla, you are amazing and an awesome teacher. I've been playing for almost 30 years and have been "coloring" my lead work just like you've presented here but never knew the rhyme or reason as to why it sounded like it did. Thank you for illustrating how these things work!
The one thing I got on this, being a heavy natural minor player, when she did the slide up trick to pos two on the high three strings,seeing that is actually pentatonic and the root is second spot on b string. Thanks!
I can only wish that after playing on and off for more than 50 years, I was even close to as good as Ayla. When I first began to learn soloing on an electric guitar near the age of 70, having been an acoustic folkie since the late '60s, like most novices, I began with the pentatonic minor. After a couple of years, I added a couple of notes that I later found out were the 9th and 2nd, which resulted in more melodic possibilities. I then added the 6th to both the 9th and 2nd. Thank you Ayla for validating this approach. I don't play the major scale (which has too many moving parts for me), and I only can think in terms of minor pentatonic with added intervals for 'color.'
Hi Ayla, this video is one of the best explanations I've heard on using modes (making them practical) and I've been playing guitar 30 plus years. THANK YOU!
Have to say I like your performance of " Since I've Been Loving You" even more that Page's, although what an amazing point of departure to work from.
I think this is a really helpful way to look at how these scales are connected. We can see them overlapped instead of thinking of them separately. Good perspective. Thanks
"There are other great video online"
This is literally the only one that I was actually looking for
I just added those notes to my minor pentatonic scale. It's also a bonus that I now understand where those notes are derived from. Thanks!
Awesome. "If it Sounds Good, it's good" = so simple, . . . yet So True. Enjoyed the lesson. Love your passion & enthusiasm for teaching. Stay Safe. oNe LovE from NYC
One of the better tutorials I've seen on here. Explained in a very clear manner. More teachers should take your approach to explaining how music works. Very nice job thank you.
I wish I had this video when I was 15.
I’m 84 old guy and you are a blessing to me on my guitar journey
A great lesson from an obviously great guitarist! My favourite thing about this channel though, is the happy and positive vibe that is always present👌I do prefer Ayla's smile to Nate's tho... Just sayin. 🤘
Every video with her is awsome. She's one of my all time favorite teachers. Hope she is rich
I first learned the Modes as just patterns. I'm still learning how they work together!
Nice little video. Moving in and out of the base pentatonic scale through modes. Really helpful
Lovely personality, clearly a great guitar player and an excellent teacher
I completely agree with her that theory is a great tool to help you, but the true lesson is "if it sounds good it is good"!
If you want to be a technically proficient musician, then theory all the way. If you want to have a base to work from, yet write/play something with pure emotion, it's a useful tool to add to that process.
You're a great teacher. I wish I could make more use of this when playing (I'm pretty good, but not as good as you). Been trying to mess around in Locrian, to see if I can make something musical sounding to me out of it. Funny thing is, I don't play as well when I'm thinking about it. I'm happier with my playing if I'm thinking about other things when I'm playing, like how my job sucks, or how pretty a lady in the bar was last night, or whatever. People would be like "That was cool...play that again...", and I'd be like "I don't remember what I did...if you were watching, you probably know more about what I played than I do...". I can learn and remember other people's solos well enough, but I'd probably wouldn't have been a great band guitarist, cause I'd have to go back and figure out what I improvised on the record.
Great video. I appreciate the way she compares the scales and her positive passionate personality makes this easier to absorb.
I think people just use theory in a wrong way, as in trying to be guided by it, when theory is just a way to describe why and how you can get a certain flavour. It isn't to be used as a clutch.
DbHuntzz true, people see it as a set of rules rather than a set of observations
@@jonthehermit8082 it's funny you say that because theory taught me how to break the "rules" tastefully
If you try to be guided by the theory or see it as a set of rules. Then the problem is that you don't know enough theory.
*crutch. 🤖
After all these days watching about modes she made me clear somehow now its making sense to me guys.dont know bout you guys but i watched lots of videos out there but this makes sense i guess differentiating modes side by side really helps to understand this part.. thank you ...
Such a great guitar tone.....makes “bad” notes sound good!
It's great when you are able to switch from the minor to the major scale.
I've learned it this way:
- learning all 5 pentatonic patterns and adding the 2 notes to then be able to play a full minor/major scale,
- ...where the root notes are in pentatonic minor,
- ...where they are in pentatonic major,
- ...to switch from minor to major.
Then you are able to just check where a root note is and remember the respective pattern. You can then play any major or minor scale you want to if you know each "formula" of the 7 modes.
Great video! I'm sharing this with friends that are learning their pentatonics. A very well conceived executed lesson!
Ayla, I stumbled upon your channel and LOVE it!! For only being 21 or 22, you are gifted beyond your years! Thanks for being such a great teacher - I can tell you love what you do!!
Wow she is an great guitarist just need to get my mind around everything
When I mastered the modes and how they ran together, the whole fretboard opened up. It made understanding the mixing major and minor much easier.
Do I know the entirety of the minor pentatonic scales and it’s intervals? Yes.
Am I still going to watch the entirety of this video? You bet.
Great job! Love it! Thanks for Sharing Ayla!
I feel like you should be playing a jazz master. Great lesson. Rock that tritone.
very honored to have watched this fine individual explain musical scale colors and the magic of the minor pentatonic.
“Because of your smile, you make music more beautiful.”
Good stuff. Another great way to look at pentatonic scales is as a triad with a couple added intervals. In the case of minor pentatonic, it's a minor triad with an added 4th and 7th (or a minor 7 chord with an added 4th, if you prefer). Learning to see them this way helped me "anchor" them to chords, and to be able to see them better outside the typical "box 1" position. There's still plenty more I could do with it, but the concept and process of knowing the triad/arpeggio shape that lies inside each pentatonic shape or pattern is very helpful.
I was always afraid to use Pentatonic for fear of entering the Satanic cult...
Thats what thought before the entering Pentagon.
HAHAHAHA
Hi, welcome to the Satanic cult.
You do , but nobody’s played it enough yet . So
The reason why satan never appeared is because YOU WERE PLAYING THE WRONG SCALE
No... You're thinking about the LYDIAN SCALE
aka. The Devil's Scale
Aka the Simpsons tune was written in the Lydian scale because bart is a trouble maker, THAT'S A FACT
Legend has it that if you play the Lydian scale front to back 6 times, Satan himself will appear
I DARE YOU....... I FUCKING DARE YOU TO
haha
Ayla, I love your relaxing way of teaching, it's like penicilin for my soul, Rock On
