Find whatever scale you need, wherever you need it! Do you always start your solos in the same pentatonic shape? Far too many of us guitar players do this.
It's time to master the fretboard, finally. It would be nice to know wherever we happen to be on the fretboard at that moment, what the scale is without having to shift to Shape 1 Easy Shape all the time. And remember we can choose either just one scale for a song, or many scales for a song. But to do that, we’ll need to be able to find scales quickly and easily. All my students here are taught a simple three-step method. By thinking of each pentatonic shape as being either a "first finger" start or a "third finger" start we can find and switch scales really fast.

That is an extremely refreshing way to look at the minor pentatonic scales. 👍👍
Thank you! Glad it helped!
Thank you! I love GLV simply because it connects theory and actual playing so elegantly. 😊
Thank you! Much appreciated :)
Always happy to have a Saturday video!
Glad to hear it thank you! Will have to miss a week here and there but lots more coming.
Great lesson - good, and useful content, very well explained.
Thanks very much.
Nice guitar Blue. Love the sound of a tele.
Thank you!! 😎
You have in my opinion, one of the Best topics of discussion which ties the chords ( I replaced with triads) with the Pentatonic scales whether minor or major in an eloquent way.
You are in the pocket.
Thank you
Thank you! Lots more lessons on the channel 🎸
Blue, another incredibly useful micro lesson - simple, accessible, repeatable, moveable. Loving the 'labels' - 1st finger, 3rd finger, easy shape, symmetrical, funny B, stack. 🥳
Thanks again! Glad to hear it!
What he is describing here is actually a tried and true memorizing tool; Association. Quite brilliant really, as I've not seen any other guitar lessons that use it. By giving the shapes a unique name, "Easy shape, Triple Stack etc." he's providing something to identify them with other than just a bunch of shapes that don't mean anything.
Thank you! 😀
I really like the simple animations added for finger position. Simple and effective! Thanks!
Thank you! I'll keep that in mind and use that in more videos.
Your channel rocks, bro!
Thank you very much!
I am always able to pull something new or get a refresher from your lessons…..thank you
Great to hear! Thank you!
Great to hear other ways to think on scales and positions. I tend to think of 6th, 5th, and 4th string positions and from each a up and a down the neck. Ends in the same place. Fun to see what sticks for people.
Good point, whatever helps us to remember and use it all. It's not the same things for everyone.

Thank you 😎
Great lesson Blue ,you make theory so easy to relate to. Received your excellent Solo.vol1 book for Christmas from the grandkids. Thanks from Victoria
Great to hear thank you!!
Another great video Blue.
I'm definitely at that stage of trying to find the relevant shape wherever I am, and didn't make the connection between the related shapes and the A string root before, so this was a lightbulb moment. 😎
Keep up the great work.
Glad to hear it thank you!
Another extremely helpful lesson, thank you! I just ordered Soloing Like a Pro Book, should be arriving early next week.
Cool thanks for ordering the book! Note that there is a page near the beginning of the book that has a link to where you can download the audio file samples.
Brillant as usual !
Thank you!!
Great lesson thank you 🙏 😊
Glad you liked it thanks! Lots more on the channel :)
awesome tip.Thx Blue
Thank you!!
Brilliant! Thank you!
Thank you again!
Thanks, good stuff!
Thank you as always QBRX!
Awesome !!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Good stuff!
Thank you!!
Another great lesson! Why always starting on Easy Shape?!? Why I didn’t find it out myself? I tried it and all of the sudden all 5 penta shapes where under my fingers. I was fixed far too much on the penta extended only. THANK YOU BLU! Your lessons are always direct to the point 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awesome well done!!
💡Thanks!!
Thank you StratCat!
I would say something ridiculous like “you don’t know how helpful these lessons are” but that would be particularly ridiculous.
Haha
I concur!
Thank you! Really glad to hear it!
I like the name triple-stack for shape 3 :). Question - for the major pentatonic, it seems like you just have change the shapes corresponding to the first and 3rd fingers?. So there is a different set of shapes for minor and major, right?
Thanks! The name "Triple Stack" I didn't invent, that honor goes to one of my star students. But to answer your question, the shapes for Major Pentatonic are exactly the same as for Minor Pentatonic. They just start on a different "root." This video explains that in more detail: ruclips.net/video/2vXMecfmhdc/видео.html
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver Ah right. That's actually what I meant but looking back the question was was pretty confusing.
OK I bought book 2
Awesome, thanks for getting the book. Note that there's a page near the beginning of the book with a link to the audio samples.
Guiltily as charged 😂 I do
You're not the only one, that's for sure :)
oh oh - I use my pinky
That works! Especially for Major Pentatonic
I think you might end up changing guitar vocabulary in English with these memorable shape names
😆if it works, it works, thank you!
Didn't realiae Quentin Tarantino was a lead guitarist...
I don't understand none of this. I just play over and over until something sounds right. It's not very practical I know but I'm the only one listening. 🤔
Brilliant. Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching!
