- Lead Guitarist for the Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Drew OfThe Drew, talks with EMGtv about pentatonic scale substitutions. The Berklee College of Music grad shows how starting this basic shape on different scale degrees can create unique sounds to break you out of the traditional blues box. Maddie Rice is using the EMG 57 humbucker in the bridge and the EMG SAV single coil pickups in the middle and neck positions.

Watching Maddie Rice play made me realize that a course in music theory would be well worth my while.
I heard only one solo by her in "cry,die,fly" but I was blown away,it was so goooood! Nice of the the guys of EMG to see a talent and use it in a good way.
That was actually really interesting.
A beautiful guitar she's got there.
I just looked up her other vids online
& she does a fantastic cover of Cliffs of Dover.
i just listened to her cliffs of dover.....i love she shows her talents and not her assets like most female guitarists try to market. But she is if i can say it cute even though it doesnt seem to fit with that kind of talent.
I *really* don't want to come across as a stalker on this: I try to capture every moment (and there aren't *enough* ) where Maddie is featured as a soloist on the break, and she's *having such a good time* and so is the audience ... Stephen, you don't feature her enough and only recognize her by name 2/3 of the time! *WATCH THIS VIDEO!* She's a *GENIUS!*
She's got a set of pipes, too --- the lady can SING and isn't bashful, *given the opportunity hint hint!*
2:15 ... *I'M IN LOVE!!*
We need more Maddie. Great player.
She’s amazing. So much knowledge, and she’s not afraid to share her own thoughts on music theory.
Such knowledge and talent! With a soft sweet voice. And a beautiful young woman! I was instantly a fan and totally crushing on her! Keep up the great work Mattie!!❤
Awesome!
Really good explanation of modal ideas.
I love EMGs. Installed them in my DeanZ. Great sound, no feedback, and grounded, so you don't get the shock off the mic. One of the guitarists in the band I was in at the time asked me to install the same ones in his Strat. Why, I don't know, but he seemed to like them better than the factory installed pickups. EMGs are that good, and often better. Internal grounding and superb sound. Even out of a small Peavey.
Amazing lead guitarist !!! Pentatonic superposition is a really cool approach, It is used a lot in Jazz 😀
I love her!
Great guitarist with full of feeling. I love Maddie!
Maddie Rice is a very fine musician. She has her own interesting concept/take on soloing which clearly works well for her.
Cool looking and sounding guitar!
Very informative. Maddie Rice is a boss.
She is a really awesome player!
Very interesting tips here
i'm melted now
I went to college in Florida, Im From NE NJ, the situation sounds very similar
Superb player
Excelentísima guitarrista, excelentísima músico
Get the Scott Henderson DVD or down load it. It goes into great detail of what she was talking about.
Yes he does. There's a vid on youtube. The Am, Bm and Em pentatonic licks she plays are from the Dorian, Phyrgian and Aeolian modes of Gmaj scale. They are all compatible. The EbMaj7 chord she considers in Lydian mode would be compatible with the Dm pentatonic(Pyrgian) scale she plays because they both come from the BbMaj scale.
1. If you substitute A Minor Pentatonic A-CDE-G (5th fret) with B Minor Pentatonic B-DEF#-A (7th fret) you do get the F# needed for A Dorian but you lose C and G and you get an extra B. If you play E Minor Diatonic Scale (open/12th fret) you can get the ADorian sound but you cant get it if you just play the pentatonic shape. So BMinor Pentatonic is the closest you can get it.
2. On EMinor Pentatonic (E--G-A-B--D-E), playing AMinor (A-C-E) chord, will sound like playing iv chord of Diatonic scale, adding a 6th degree. Conversely on A Minor scale, EMinor Pentatonic will play (5, 7b, 1, 2{9th}, 4{11th})
3. On DMinorPentatonic: (D--F-G-A--C-D), playing EbMajor7 chord: (Eb-G-Bb-D), will sound like playing (2b, 4, 6). Conversely for EbMajor 7 chord as Tonic, DMinor pentatonic notes will add (2{9th}, 3, 4#{11#}, 6{13})

completely blown away by her clean tone, never heard one like it is it a piezo?
If you like the concept of that, Scott Henderson also mentions exactly that. There's a vid of it on YT.
Maddie Rice is a musical genius!!!
glad to see i m not the only one who does that :D
This may be the single greatest tip anyone has ever conveyed for increasing your knowledge of scales.
My guitar teacher showed me this as well. I knew about modes already ("about" = not practicing them) but learning how flexible the limited pentatonic scale is opens up a lot of interesting doors. You should still learn where the other notes in the scale/mode are and train your ear for intervals but this one tip in the video gives you an immediate jump forward.
I love Maddie Rice so much T_T
Maddie is now on Saturday Night Live. She has hit the big time.
This girl is awsome!!!
She's the lead guitarist for Saturday Night Live 2020
More Maddie, please!
really nice. love your vids. Any Andy James vids. coming btw???
i love maddie
1:19 I wonder if this is what Gareth Liddiard does in his song she's my favourite. If you go to the 6 minute mark.
+canvoodoo Have you seen Steve Stevens Bro? Stuck was in the past.
I loved this girls solo on that cry, die, fly song, and she has me swooning... ;-; but does anyone like really like these 'lesson' videos from EMG? I mean they've got very little use imo
is she the one in the gravity cover???
Adorable
I do not understand why Batiste does not put Mattie on the front row and the horns in the back. Can't see her technique and it looks like she is just playing chords in background.
James McMillan,
This video shows how the understanding of SOME musical structure, if applied to the guitar, yields a musicality that is all-too-absent in today's hits. I may be an old geezer, but I always did believe that without any melody it is NOT music.
I found your remark about this video among the very few meaningful contributions to an intelligent conversation. In the nine months simce you wrote it, Maddie has only been featured maybe 1/2 dozen times on Late Night (and then typically ONLY during commercials), even though she plays most of 5 nights/week.
.
She should update her channel more c' mon she is a master.
Not sure what the guy means when he says "playing the A minor pentatonic off the 2, 3, or 6th" at the end of the video.
He means that if you are in the key of C major, then you can play the D minor pentatonic (2nd chord of the key), E minor pentatonic (3rd chord of the key), and the A minor pentatonic (the 6th chord of the key) and you will still sound in key.
Hope it helps :)
Can anyone say what the make/model of her guitar is?
I think it is a latter-day Parker model, when they were getting away from their signature proflles
I love it when female guitarists are holding their own against the guys when it comes to theory knowledge on the guitar. ^_^
Nice to see that there aren't just chord-bashers.
At the very end of the video, Tommy said it perfectly in just one sentence:
"'play the minor pentatonic of the 2nd, 3rd, and 6th of the key"'
So if the song is G Lydian (key of D), you can play the minor pentatonic scales of E (the 2nd degree of D), F# (the 3rd degree of D), and B (the 6th degree of D).
just to clarify, she actually suggested the 2nd pentatonic and then the 5th pentatonic scales over the A minor chord (it was an E pentatonic scale played over the A min chord) . For a major 7th chord, she used a pentatonic scale based on the maj 7th degree of the scale.
Agree that she is an incredibly talented musician, with some very nice guitar solos! Hope we hear a lot more from her.
If this were jazz music, the A minor chord would by definition be the II chord of the key of G major, so the pentatonic scales shown would be the 2nd, 3 and 6 of that key. Nice demonstration of the use of pentatonic scales and why they work here!
I wish I could find more videos of Maddie. Her singing and talking voice is soft and sweet, and she's a cutie. I think I have a crush on her. 😍
Man, me too.
lead signer of Mid-Life Crisis!!!
She’s bad ass…
Colbert sent me
It's not bad advice but it's better to just learn your modes. These pentatonic "substitutions" all borrow from different modes. Best to just learn them for what they are.
YOU'RE COOL, TOMMY- KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THIS FUCKED-UP "CORONA-WORLD!!"
Check out Jane Getter to view an awesome guitarist fyi
Maddie reminds me of a classical pianist trying to play jazz. Technically proficient but missing soul or feel.
School'd
Finally a woman I agree with :p Pentatonics (and knowing them inside out) are enough for the electric guitar, blues/rock player. Ask Eric Johnson
Didn't realize this. (Been working on modes ......)
That guy is to old for his haircut
Sadly yes. Such is the case with older rockers :/
guys in bands never have to grow up: news flash
Ageism is not a good look on you either :)
ivoryvignettes Uh no, he's right.
FUN FACT: I'm an OLD musician who has had long hair since 9 years old... but my FACE is aging faster than my hair is!! (WTF!) SO... it's STARTING TO LOOK like I dye my hair brown !! %$#@!!!!!!
If it stays brown much longer, I'm going to be forced to DYE it silver --- so I don't look like an old rocker who is dying his hair brown to look younger! (A look I detest.)
I'm 50! (People think I'm 35, which is both good and bad.) Men look GREAT with silver hair, so I'm ironically pissed that my hair stays brown as my face and body age! ARGH!
...
Sorry, tried to watch and enjoy but I was too busy looking for cover in case that dude's shirt button finally popped!
Hipster
and yet you're the one that replied to an ancient comment. hmmmmm
Say what now? 😮
Sorry, why BOY?
Hey Maddie I wanna take your strongest close line
that was useless
wtf is that cringy hat
MADDIE- play the guitar, feel the music, write songs (chord progressions and lyrics)... and forget all the theory BS!! The "BEAT IT" solo is devoid of theory- thank goodness!!! Did "HENDRIX" know theory??! Did "WES MONTGOMERY" know theory??! Since U DO know the rules... it's time to BREAK them, SMASH them AND FEEL THE FUCKING MUZIK!!!!
This is so simplistic,. Let's hear you try to shread bebop at 168 with great players and long long solos without knowing this level of improvisation and modes.
"The "BEAT IT" solo is devoid of theory- thank goodness!!! " You are joking, right?
lmao yes they all knew theory... Chord progressions? Yeah that's theory. You have no idea what you are talking about.
Imagine being you LMAO
@@Josh-it6uy hahah. Imagine having the Dunning-Kruger effect for just the concept of having a basic understanding of what music theory even is, let alone having any understanding of music whatsoever.
"You don't need to know anything other than pentatonic scales" ......yikes
I'm not gonna say anything nasty because she looks like she might read it and cry...
Or... Option C: None none of the things you said, and I was just making an honest observation. I wouldn't make any nasty comment IF I had one to make, 'cos she honestly looks like she might be sensitive to it, she seems nice.
Did you deliberately spell asshole wrong or can you just not spell..? This is also a genuine non-offensive statement, hopefully.
+kye903 she might cry,or die...she might even fly (geeeeet it?)
+No One Special Ohhh, shots fired. *graps popcorn* This gon be gud.
StahlmetallerM well
Just say it. You can't just say that you would say something and then not say it. Or else she'll think you think something way worse.
Damn EMGs are the most lifeless, sterile pickups ever...
Too compressed sounding, e.g. everything at one level dynamically.
If she was any good she would have been a picked for the queen extravaganza.........
That was completely useless waste of 3 minutes
