So... The A minor is also the C major. So basically any minor penta scale I move up two steps on the scale and the note I land on the the relative major?? A. B. C? SO if I started on say E minor penta. It would go like this. E F G. So G major is relative to E minor??
@@juanantoniomusic Corny as it sounds I feel like Galileo running through the streets yelling EUREKA!!!I'm slowly learning Theory late in life and it feels awesome.. So I would assume that to find the relative minor of a major note you move down two steps down the scale,right?
Learn the interval differences between the major and the natural minor scale first, that way You will see what makes up your minor or major pentatonics. The modes he talks About are a shortcuts. It makes lots of guitar players go nuts.
Very nice! I love the mix of your production by putting the riffs into the lesson... 4:03 - is that lick those notes you just played, but then fast in an idiomatic sequence? or is this riff using different notes. thanks, keep up the awesome guitar lessons!
Thanks for the kind words man! And yes, same notes in the scale explained. In the explanation though I am using the key of Am to keep it simple. In the lick I am using the notes of Cm. To be exact at the 4:03 bit I am using C D F G Bb (which are 1 2 4 5 b7 in relation to C) in a sort of sequence. Hope that helps!
Hello- would these pentatonic modes have names like the major scale does? The I is the major pentatonic scale and the VI is traditionally known as the minor pentatonic scale-how about the other scale degrees? Do they have names that you know or are they just derivative of the major scale like Dorian pentatonic? Thank you. Just found your channel. Subbed!
I don't really know of any names that are commonly used (since I got the information by analyzing the info and not a specific source), but it wouldn't surprise me if there were names out there. You could also come up with your own names based off of the common modes if you wanted or needed to. Thanks for sub!!!
There's some tricks like playing the pentatonic pattern in different positions gives you a mode. Like B min pent over A min = A Dorian Ab minor pent over A MAJ = LYDIAN
@@juanantoniomusicMusic theory refers to them as modes or 'Modal Pentatonics' - Major pentatonic (based on 1st degree/ Ionian mode), Egyptian pentatonic (based on 2nd degree/ Dorian mode), Blues Minor (based on 3rd degree/ Phrygian mode), Blues Major (based on 5th degree/ Mixolydian mode) & Minor pentatonic (based on 6th degree/ Aeolian mode) The 5 Modes of pentatonic scale: Note names | Scale name C D E G A = Major pentatonic = 1 2 3 5 6 D E G A C = Egyptian pentatonic = 2 3 5 6 1 E G A C D = Blues Minor = 3 5 6 1 2 G A C D E = Blues Major = 5 6 1 2 3 A C D E G = Minor pentatonic = 6 1 2 3 5 Pentatonic scales above are 'anhemitonic' which means they contain 'no semitones'.

Yeah, it's a convention. Whenever you find a 7th minor, the idea on the "naming" of the interval is to put it like a b7. And when it's major, it's just 7.
Have you heard anything about this? Natural major and minor cdefgab / abcdefg Harmonic major and minor cdefg a-flat b / abcdefg# Melodic major and minor e f# g# abcd / abcdef# g# Harmonic major it's something new & interesting for me.
I've worked with the scales but I don't particularly see all of them as relatives(don't know if this is what you're referring to). For example harmonic minor and major are two completely different scales (not modes or relatives) . Also, the scale you refer to as melodic major I know as Mixolydian b6 which is the 5th mode of the melodic minor scale. I'm not sure if you meant to say that they were related or just that they exist, so I'm not quite sure as of how to answer. Btw, I've also been hooked on harmonic major as of late! Tons of awesome sounds in there! Thanks for commenting! :)
Look what I found The melodic Major scale was used in Eastern European folk melodies, but was ignored by most classical composers. Today this scale, like the harmonic Major scale, is used in Jazz Music. The difference between a melodic Major scale and a harmonic Major scale is that in the melodic Major scale we have 7th degrees lowered by a half tone. For example in the C melodic Major scale, we have B-flat instead of B. So in all melodic Major scales we have 6th and 7th degrees lowered by a half step. Let's build a C Melodic Major: visihow.com/Build_Major_Scales_(Natural,_Harmonic,_Melodic)
Do You thing that videos about all modes of C harmonic Major cdefg a-flat b is great idea? I think this is fantastic idea!!! ;DDD I mean functions of all diationic chords the possibilities offered by this set of notes etc
It's just semantics in terms of the difference between Harmonic Major and Mixolydian b6. It's the same scale, the scale construction of both is 1 2 3 4 5 b6 b7. I tend to prefer the name Mixo b6 because it implies a its over a Dominant chord (it's also more common in jazz circles) . It's cool knowing that it has a different name tho! Thanks for that! :)
Whole Tone Scale definitely doesn't have modes, but there is a "Non-mode". Try it out a half step up from a minor chord and it functions as b2 b3 4 5 6 7. It's a not quite Melodic Minor (b9 instead of the root); while it maintains the sound structure of Whole Tone. Really cool for achieving a different sound.
great eye opening lessons, brings the pentatonic alive, thank you !
Quality content as always, thank you very much
Something siting right in front of my face! Cool idea.
how i wish i could play like this man
Juanito I’m here again, 👏 bravo
As always,Nice content in every vid!
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks. Great channel!
Fantastic lesson, you earned a sub. Maybe add some diagrams?
Muy bien. Gracias por compartir!
So...
The A minor is also the C major.
So basically any minor penta scale I move up two steps on the scale and the note I land on the the relative major??
A. B. C?
SO if I started on say E minor penta.
It would go like this.
E F G.
So G major is relative to E minor??
Yes sir! You got it!

Em is the relatieve minor (mode) of the the G major scale. G major notes: G A B C D E F#. E is the 6the degree of the G major scale.
Very nice! I love the mix of your production by putting the riffs into the lesson... 4:03 - is that lick those notes you just played, but then fast in an idiomatic sequence? or is this riff using different notes. thanks, keep up the awesome guitar lessons!

There's some tricks like playing the pentatonic pattern in different positions gives you a mode. Like B min pent over A min = A Dorian
Ab minor pent over A MAJ = LYDIAN
Also if you look at the scale diagrams there's 3 sets of major/minor pentatonic patterns in 3 DIFFERENT positions for every major scale mode
@@juanantoniomusicMusic theory refers to them as modes or 'Modal Pentatonics' - Major pentatonic (based on 1st degree/ Ionian mode), Egyptian pentatonic (based on 2nd degree/ Dorian mode), Blues Minor (based on 3rd degree/ Phrygian mode), Blues Major (based on 5th degree/ Mixolydian mode) & Minor pentatonic (based on 6th degree/ Aeolian mode)
The 5 Modes of pentatonic scale:
Note names | Scale name
C D E G A = Major pentatonic = 1 2 3 5 6
D E G A C = Egyptian pentatonic = 2 3 5 6 1
E G A C D = Blues Minor = 3 5 6 1 2
G A C D E = Blues Major = 5 6 1 2 3
A C D E G = Minor pentatonic = 6 1 2 3 5
Pentatonic scales above are 'anhemitonic' which means they contain 'no semitones'. One can construct pentatonic scales that include one or more half-steps and they are called hemitonic scales.
At 3:01 Does The note C becomes flat because it a b7?
Yeah, it's a convention. Whenever you find a 7th minor, the idea on the "naming" of the interval is to put it like a b7. And when it's major, it's just 7.

Sure thing, I usually approach modes videos by creating individual videos for each mode. I'll get to it soon! Thanks for the suggestion!
I better get practicing more.
"the modes of the whole tone scale"..... 🤣🤣🤣
Whole Tone Scale definitely doesn't have modes, but there is a "Non-mode". Try it out a half step up from a minor chord and it functions as b2 b3 4 5 6 7. It's a not quite Melodic Minor (b9 instead of the root); while it maintains the sound structure of Whole Tone. Really cool for achieving a different sound.
Ugh.... man, I hate theory/scale lessons with tons of distortion, unless you are teaching a song or riff.
