I learned all the positions about 2 yrs ago I practice every day and I'm just now starting to flow up and down the neck. ..I now need to blend in the chord tones...thank you for all you do and helping me on this awesome journey
Went through the 30. After the invaluable lessons learned, and some hours of practice, I signed up for the UGS Pro. Follow the lessons, follow the 'philosophy' and suggestions, practice as frequently as possible, and you will be a 'guitarist'.
Yeah boy! That is exactly the type of playing I want to learn from you! What you played at the start is very sweet! Thank you from a veteran subscriber. Appreciate your support sir!
Thanks Erich! What a great playing. Really! Would it be possible to make a video to show us these licks you played. Would be a worthful exercise, how to use the 5 forms. Thanks again.
I know. That was an awesome solo! But if he teaches us that solo lick for lick then we miss the key point of the video. How to use these techniques in our own playing. Plenty of videos out there to learn note for note. I used some for learning BB King solos. Keep playing!
Sooooooooooper style...... 😍😍😍 I like 🎸. I don't know what impressed me. Last I bought basic guitar and just follow your fingers blindly without knowing the the basic procedure. 🎩 off your style 😎
This is the first time I see these shapes referred to as "modes". If that was the case, then "Pentatonic Modes" would be a concept that applied only to stringed instruments. Obviously that is not so. I first got in touch with the concept of pentatonic modes in 1980. The idea was pretty much this: books.google.com.br/books?id=4pIIfRuiRpcC&pg=PA2&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false I am not sure how canonical the terminology is but it has been pretty consistent since then as far as I can tell. I am not a professional or anything, just trying to shed some light here.
You can get a real cool Lydian sound if you play the E pentatonic shape in the 6th position over an open E drone note. Low E 7-9, A 6-9, D 6-9, G 6-8, B 7-9, High E 7-9. **edit** remember to drone that low E!!
ProJamTracks is not running yet but you can sign up. These Pentatonic forms are available in the UGS system and the eBooks in case you didn't get the screen shots.
Yes they are also the modes; however, there are 7 so two 'overlap' or share a couple of the shapes a bit more when "linking" across the neck in the CAGED context.
Jay P they aren’t modes unless a different root note is used. Ie the G Pentatonic major would be shape/position 1 starting on the g rather than the e (Starting on the E would make that shape E minor Pentatonic)
In basic terms, modes are formed by reorienting the notes of a particular scale creating different intervals by using a different note as the root. By using the same five notes (pentatonic) you create a mode (i.e. minor pentatonic scale is a "mode" of the major pentatonic scale). Therefore the terms "scale" and "mode" are sometimes used interchangeably. The diatonic scale contains the 7 Greek modes often used more formally in Jazz. For a more detailed explanation I recommend "Music Theory" by Nicolas Carter, or some other book on theory. Or ask Erich.
@@yourguitarsage There are actually 5 modes of the pentatonic scale, most only know the major and minor mode of the pentatonic scale. But if you stick with one set of pentatonic notes, you can actually form the respective modes by making one of these notes the root, and thus creating a different scale formula every time. Very similar as how one would do it with diatonic modes, using the same set of 7 notes instead of 5 here. The way you described it here (and confirmed by your actual scale degrees of the notes in your diagrams), it's always E minor pentatonic, and just different shapes on the guitar for playing these same notes all over (like the CAGED system)
You Are Good.., When You Can Connect This POSITIONS-BOXES..,, I Mean When You Can Go (And Connect) From The One 2 One Other Box - Or Note.., In "" MUSICAL ORDER'' Without Stop..,! (Thinking)...!!

It's very helpful that you say that you concentrate on the highest three strings when playing these
I can’t wait till I can do this. Great video 🙏💝

Thank you Erich.I am immensely grateful for all that you put out there.

You are a good man Erich. Thanks for all you do.
I didn't know the 5 Pentatonic "boxes" were referred to as Modes.
Thanks Erich for the knowledge you give!!!! 🙏💝😊👍🎸
Thanks Erich for your lessons!!! They are very helpful in one's path to learning guitar!! :)
Sooooooooooper style...... 😍😍😍

Thanks friend. This should help too: www.yourguitarsage.com/30
I haven't been getting notification for these lessons for about the last week or so, I am subscribed and in UGS Pro!!
You have to hit the notification bell and click “all vids”.
I have an email list too.
Great lesson as always!
Kind of unfortunate to call the five standard penta shapes for "modes", since modes are something else....
My ears and mind are blown🤯
Love that jam!
Thx Erich!😊👍🎸
Thank you so much Erich
👊🏻🙏

Go Pro! Worth every penny!
Thank you, Marlon. 🤗🙏
wow light bulb lesson got it thanks !
Great!
Can these forms work on acoustic guitar
Oh yeah! 👍
Yes they can, just hard to get bends.
Are all of these shapes able to be moved and used anywhere on the fretboard or is this static.? I know all of these shapes but in a different order.
4th letter of CAGED is E, that makes it 4th position. Ain't rocket science. 😉
Erich..Why are using Em Pentatonic over Bbs thrill key of F#m??
I mean F#m???
Go Pro!
The backing track is in F#. ??
Do these have pretentious Greek names like the diatonic modes?
😜No, but those Greek names have real specific meanings.
@@yourguitarsage Wow actually?? That's crazy, I didn't know that.
GO PRO!!!
Did you mean positions? I learned modes as Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian etc. Maybe you know something I don’t?
UGS PRO!
30! And Go Pro.
Are these really modes? Seems to the 5 positions/shapes, but surely modes would use those shapes but start on different notes.
Yes they are also the modes; however, there are 7 so two 'overlap' or share a couple of the shapes a bit more when "linking" across the neck in the CAGED context.

the same position just master the fret and key box position of chords.
nıce pls backtrack lınk????
These are not modes, they're simply different positions on the fretboard.
And they are called modes. But not the diatonic modes that you are assuming are the only ones that are called modes.

Why you calling them MODES? because they aren't mode they are just different positions not modes
So are the modes. They are just the major scale but in different positions.
@@yourguitarsage not true, each mode is a different formula. The pentatonic scale formula is not changing just the position of the matrix system.
Go Pro!
