Hello friends,
Welcome back to Swiftlessons for another mini-lead guitar tutorial, this time focusing on how to improve your soloing over major keys. Aspiring lead players tend to make huge leaps in progress in the early going, but at a certain point it’s common to plateau and get stuck in the “pentatonic rut.” So, in this lesson we’ll be adding additional notes to our toolbox by combining two powerful scales; the minor blues scale and the mixolydian scale to form what I consider to be the Holy Grail of major lead playing, the mixolydian blues hybrid scale. Let's get started!

Woah!!! It's NOT a Pentatonic RUT! it's the Pentatonic SUPERHIGHWAY. The Pentatonic speeds students along the road to lead guitar. And the basics of the scale NEVER goes away.
My life has been a complete and total misery ever since Bigfoot stole my precious girlfriend in the middle of the night. 😒 He even took all her clothes and the T.V. 😔
@@Rick_Cleland The consequences of poor gun maintenance...
"Pentatonoic rut." That's me. This really helped. Thanks, man.
Yeah, that makes two... This was a great help.
The Hybrid Scale of the Blues Scale and the Dorian Minor scale is also a Great way to add Chromatic runs on your solos
This is all extremely pentatonic though
@@jasonleonard9776 pentatonic means 5 notes this is not pentatonic
If you are solid on pentatonic, I find it a lot easier to think about adding 4th and 7th to your major pentatonic or major 3 to minor pentatonic than to try to wrap my mind around Mixo scale
Man, you don't show off your skills anywhere near as much as you could! You just concentrate on delivering top quality lessons and that's what makes you the best! Thank you👍🏻👍🏻😊
Yes...I have to agree 👍 He is GREAT this is EXCELLENT
Perfect example of what almost other guitar tutorials and tutors never do . . . pace taken slowly + fretboard positions shown and left on screen + notes named as played + short, playable examples clearly shown + no changes in camera position + licks kept short but also expanded later on + narration clear + no flashiness ... and so on and on.
Would never phase even most unsure player.
Never mind a gold star - make it platinum.
Definite bell rung.
I've been in the pentatonic rut for 20 years at least. I mostly a rhythm player but lately I've been wanting to expand my knowledge of the instrument and better my playing. This helped a lot!
2-3 years for me. I stopped overwhelming myself and started compartmentalising the information for myself to make it easier to learn
That’s me!!! Learning the notes then in the 5 pentatonic scale, some in the CADGE system would say this is the 2 box I think?? I wish he would do how to mix the Chromatic scale and the Pentatonic together using the 5 boxes of Pentatonic!! Learning the notes is a big help!!
Excellent advice friend
Raises hand from Pentatonic Ditch...
OMG dude ...After watching so many blues guitar lesson videos this one finally made it all make sense to me! I used to get confused when some player would play somes notes that sounded good but I would think - wait a minute those notes seem to be out of place....well now it all makes sense ! Thanks so much !
I have thousands of dollars worth of instructional guitar material watched hundreds of RUclips tutorials material from famous teachers and it’s great info but you teach in a way like I’ve have never seen before ! You are a great teacher and definitely more advanced for your age. You must have had great parents and teachers. I’ve learned more from your blues videos than anyone. Some of my favorite teachers are Frank Gamble and Scott Henderson and more from Lick Library and you are up there with the best! Thank you for the help!
😂 busit
Immersed in your lesson Rob. No clickbait from you. You so selflessly share your knowledge. You so effectively incorporate theory into your lessons,even during song tutorials. I have had many 'lightbulb' moments from your lessons. Your code of ethics is of the highest standard Rob: no blatant marketing strategy, not even a hint of gentle coersion into subscription. Will make a once off donation as a token of my profound gratitude. My abject apology for belated wish: May you and your family enjoy good health and prosperity in 2021 and for many years to come.
Hey Rajen, thanks so much for this incredibly thoughtful and kind message, it really means a lot. I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos, and making progress, I'll keep them coming. Thanks again for the encouraging words. -Rob
No hints other than the subscribed flashing up, the patreon reminder flashing up, then nearly two minutes of video showing donors. I loved the video, though. Thank you for sharing. I’m learning bass and guitar together and it’s the generous artists of RUclips who allow me to progress. I’d be stuck without you. Thanks.
For the first time in 17 years I know how to play the mixolydian, not just the notes but how to implement them. Thanks man, new subscriber for sure.
whenever I see a good lesson like this I understand why the Allmans sounded so great they always put all this together so beautifully with natural emotion and passion
Just what I needed. After a 10 year neglect of my music I've finally bitten the bullet and started learning theory and playing with a metronome. I was stuck learning my favorite tunes and jamming along by ear to blues. This lesson really makes applying the scales to soloing very strait forward - I've memorised all my modes now but somehow this mixo-blues scale and your presentation of it, are perfect for bridging the chasm between scales and improv. thanks
You were always learning theory, you just didn't know it. Theory is just a way to TALK ABOUT MUSIC. "Music" is the word we describe to series and combinations of notes with intent. It's ALL LANGUAGE.
FINALLY!!!! Someone who can explain the mixolydian and its relationship to blues and make it so EASY to understand. Thank you so much dude!
I’ve been mixing majors and minors for a while but I’ve never done this. Sooo much awesomeness in this lesson!
Hey man..you just opened up a while new world to me..can't thank you enough for sharing this.
I gotta say you putting your lessons up on here has totally given me a new flavor to my stagnant playing, even after 25+ years of playing I'm re-learning my ethos and knowledge and your licks and explanations are helping me make great progress! Thank you so much! :D
Finally!! The Clapton sound that I have been looking for!! Thanks so much!!
He is hands down the best instructor I have found on youtube. His patreon is an incredible value. Thank you so much I think I made a break through.
Nice lesson! I wish I had this when I started playing back in the '70s. Another way to think of that hybrid scale: blues + pentatonic major. The Mixolydian is adding only the 2nd, 3rd and 6th tones, which would also be added by pentatonic major. So combining pentatonics, major and minor, plus the flat 5th, gets you there. You also have the Dorian mode in the mix. Fun fact: Add in Phrygian dominant (adds flat 2nd and flat 6th) and you have every chromatic note except for the major 7th, but with the bebop scale, you have the major 7th (it's Mixolydian with major 7th). So it turns out that every single note works over the dominant 7th chord! You can go full chromatic.
And if it sounds bad hit it twice and you are a Jazzer! 🤣
OutSTANDING lesson 👍🏻👏🏻...I’ve been playing 45+ years ...yet still found aspects of this video very helpful....even eye opening !..nice work my friend...I’m now subscribed ☝️🎸
this person is very thorough, he is among the best teachers on youtube, i check his lessons out often

I really liked this video, especially how he mentioned always referencing the major scale. Thanks! Now I have something to work on!
Yep....learn all your intervals from the major scale.....help you with chords too.
Excelent video, blows my mind that this level of knowledge is available for free on RUclips.
Great lesson! I remember being in the rut, and what I ended up doing is slowly adding and dropping notes on shape one of the pentatonic. Eventually I was basically just playing a mixo-blues-Dorian hybrid... which is really just major and minor scales combined. Helps you get that classic blues sound and if you turn up the drive you can sound like cream Clapton. I recommend you beginners try it out. Once you know what notes sound good together and before and after each other it opens up the entire fretboard.
Good advice . That's how I learned .
Dude you don’t even know how much this helped!!! Great job🙌
Brilliantly explained ! - It leads on perfectly from the previous video lesson from you...'Mind bending lead guitar trick' where you took us through the major and minor pentatonic scales and how to start developing 'question and answer' styles in our Blues lead breaks. Keep 'em coming and we'll keep the Blues alive!
Best instruction out there. Don't waste time elsewhere, you can use this as soon as you see it.
Very well done. This is a masterclass in scale blending we all got for free. Thanks!
Man, my guitar knowledge has come a long way thanks to people like you!!! If i had stuff like this when I first started, i can't imagine the guitarist I'd be. Better late than never!
Soon as he played the Mixolydian part it was instant Allman!! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I was getting a jam band vibe too.
I totally heard Dickie Betts as well.
Been looking for a lesson like this, thanks. I've never taken a real lesson with the exception of a few videos and found most if not all of these notes by ear on my own. It's nice to see what I was actually doing. THANKS!!!!
Honestly, one of the best presentations of mixing minor/major scales in blues soloing on RUclips!
Well done sir
Just found you thank god. really appreciate your methodical approach also the intro with amazing guitar playing is inspiring some channels music just are not my vibe.
I have restarted after 20 years of badly playing. found an old squire with crazy tone and have been enjoying playing electric. Learnt the notes etc makes it much easier. you are showing me now whats possible with the penta. also been cramming on some triads and learning those shapes which gives you access to so much. Progressions are my next stop. will check out more of your channel thanks for your passion and for sharing your knowledge and playing!!
One of the best tutorial guitar video i've ever seen, and i say it as a guitar teacher
Great video. I used to use a cheap trick to remember the Mixolydian scale while soloing. When you're in a major key, the Mixolydian mode uses the same notes as the V of that key. So for the key of A, D major has the same notes as A Mixolydian. So in the middle of my A minor pentatonic riffs (adding flatted fifths), I'd play a D Major riff starting in A. To locate the relative major I'd slide my pentatonic box up two frets and look where my ring finger was on the high E string. I drank too much beer back then :)
Such a cool trick!
Greatest lesson that i ve had in a long time....respects sir for being a great teacher.....few are blessed like you....cos taching is so difficult❤
I've been absent mindedly doing this for years and never really thought of it as a scale as such.
Great to see it put together in a structured way and now I am realising that I can play a lot of lines that I normally wouldn't think of.
Thanks so much man!
At least now I can explain this when people ask what I am playing. This really was a huge lightbulb moment for me.
I’ve learned a lot with your classes. Thanks a lot man! Congratulations
Mate, thank you!
You just kickstarted three hours of playing with some major improvement
Excellent lesson! Like many others, I've been stuck in the minor pentatonic and extended minor pentatonic scale. This will be my goto lesson/practice going forward. I also really liked the 'sing along with the notes' advice. This has helped me to anticipate half step vs full step changes. Thanks!
Take the Pentatonic scale, layer the blues scale over it, then layer the Mixolydian over that. Brilliant! You explained it so clearly and concisely. Years of experience packed into a short video. I can't tell you how inspiring and important this lesson was. Thanks so much!
That's what I can name " lesson "... You are a teacher, thanks man.... Following now
that was one of the best explained lessons. At least for the way I understand music. And thank you for sticking to instruction and not showcasing .
Just want you to know I subscribed. I’ve played since 1968 and 1971 seriously but it was rhythm and fingerpicking until Covid lockdown. I did even own an electric guitar until a bit over 2 years ago. I wouldn’t have been able to do a solo to literally save my life. Durning lockdown I bought a looper and an Asian PRS. Both items inspired me and I then had time. I began teaching myself lead guitar. Playing 3-5 hours a day ( at 64 ) is hard but really cements needs things into an old brain. I comfortable now with both playing and writing or improvising solos with others and have been able to use it on stage. ( didn’t mention I’ve been on and off stage, working since 1973.. ). It’s a whole new level of love for my instruments and my collection grew with my proficiency. This video is the first time I’ve heard of this hybrid scale. I’m not only going to learn it I’m going to be able to teach it when I expand my instructional services to lead lessons. Thank you and I look forward to more of your videos.
“intervals are always in reference to the major scale” now there’s smart teacher. no one ever mentions this. what a concept. the major flaw of every guitar tutorial. vital info. always skipped over. teachers make way too many assumptions and leave too much (simple info) out. you deserve a prize🎉 great efficiency in communication. perfect and logical explanations. i honestly can’t believe it. historical…..
That was amazing. Inspired three hours of practice this evening!
Love hearing that, thanks Michael, enjoy your progress!

@@Tuga4life We could do this forever. Fun, fun.
Thought you were talking about intervals for a minute there...
not exactly for free;)
30 years of lazy playing and this made it much easier to understand instead of textbook learning. Well done!
I'll mimic so many other comments here, but I just wanted to reach out and say Thank You. I've been playing guitar for 40+ years, have found some of these notes previously and just used them cuz they sounded good - without knowing jack about them. Watching your video put it all together in a straight foward, logical manner. Dude, you just don't know how good you really are. Einstein said if you can't explain it to a 3rd grader, you don't know it yourself. I am the 3rd grader, you are the master. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the time stamps so we can jump ahead!
Awesome, all these years playing and never thought of mixing those two scales, I subscribed to your channel to see what other gems you might pass on, keep on groovin' duder, peace and love to you Brother ✌️💜😎
Thank you for this video, I watched it with subtitles and it really helps me understood what I'm half doing...
I'm mainly playing metal, but blues is everywhere and this video teach me something I didn't catch.
Thank you so mutch.
This was a great way to get us out of the old pentatonic scale and into mixolydian playing. Very well explained. Thanks
Thanks for the amazing lesson. It is a breakthrough indeed. Makes my soloing much more tastier.👍👍👍
*more tasty
one of the best lessons on youtube, sir. Thank you so much.
such a great idea to mix minor pentatonic and mixolydian scale.
Practical tips to do it is so awesome, couldn't be any better.
God bless you brother
Nice job, very well demonstrated. All the best players sing or hum the notes they're playin, just watch their lips while they're soloin
Great lesson - really clear and fun. Two-thirds of the way toward the holy trinity of a Garcia solo :) - should your rhythm section throw in a "borrowed" chord with a flatted third at the turnaround for a beat, you can sneak in a quick Dorian run over the change too...
Great lesson. Thank you so much. I have heard of mixolydian but I never knew what it was....Even though I am overwhelmed! But that’s OK I need to take notes down and start working on this.
Aha! I always though you could any foreign note to a pentatonic scale, so long as it was a very short note. Now I know why those notes actually work. Simply superb instruction!
Rob your enthusiasm penetrates the internet straight to the viewer's ears. Excellent lesson. I now have a new pzlace to send students. I encourage all of you teachers out there to share your students with guys like Rob and Adrian from anyonecanplayguitar. Keep your students interested by encouraging them to share also. The easiest way to learn is to teach. So send your students to other resources and ask them to explain what they learned there. Before you know it you are learning from your student, and there they go, on their way to a gig!
Best explanation that I’ve seen! Nice! Subscribing! Keep it coming!
An excellent way to transfer over to the major pentatonic as well
Great lesson. Yes, it is a lot of notes. I have used the 3rd, flat5, 6th and 2nd notes for blues with minor pentatonic scale but didn't know it was a mixolydian and blues combo scale. This gives me a few new ideas. Thanks
this is among the top small handful of gems among the hundreds of lessons on YT
I do something similar, but way easier to remember: just add leading tones to all the notes in the Pentatonic minor scale. I do the same thing with HW diminished scales to "derive the octatonic" diminished. Also, there is a beautiful Em6 arpeggio hiding in your Am hybrid scale.
I think it in a similar way too.
Love how the mixolydian ( or part of) can be used over other chords in the same scale/triad
You are one of the best tutors on RUclips.
Thanks man.
This just unlocked so much more for my blues solos
Awesome instruction!
Great learned a lot very understanding and enjoyable
I like overlapping two scales like that, but it can also be confusing when you’re first starting. I would suggest, for ease of memory, and more texturing and voicings, to play one scale (for instance minor blues) in one position, and the other scale (for instance mixolydian) in a different position. I’ve found when you do this, it’s easier to keep track where you are, and your ear and fingers become so trained that in time, you can find those notes anywhere on the fretboard.
I’m comfortable with this guy and the way he teaches. I knew a lot of these notes already but I didn’t know what the heck I was doing. Now I know a little more about the scales. I’m going to continue watching this guy
Wow! A complete explanation. Good work.
Fantastic lesson, nicely demonstrated. Thank you 🙏
The mixolydian scale is your friend. Just check out Darkstar by the Grateful Dead.
Absolutely, if you want to take your blues to the next level, mixolydian is where it’s at.
The hard Philly “o” sound is key for my learning. Thanks from Delco.
Great lesson! I know all that so it was easy to understand. A new explanation just put it back in perspective. How to jump from scale to scale or "scale hop" is what no body seems to teach, and that, is the essence of soloing.
Great little lesson! Another name for this scale: the Grateful Dead scale. Now that you, the reader, are done groaning...hear me out! It’s not all spaced out jams! Mississippi Half-Step, Jack Straw, and Deal. Start there.
Just found this. Moving out of my rut!
I just learned a wealth of information on guitar technicalities. My new fav guitar channel. God bless u my brother ìn the name of my Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 we support this channel thank you my brother
Saw this video late last night. Tonight I am taking the time to get this deep in my soul.
Thank you so much for this!
When shaggy isn't solving mysteries he's writing sick blues lessons
Zoinks!!!😅😅
When I play “sort of lead runs”, I used to call it “Boxing the frets”. Funnily enough, I have been doing what this guy has been demonstrating, without even knowing what I am doing!
Sometimes the smallest detail can lead to real eye opener; you are a great teacher. Thank you so much.
😂Been doing this without knowing what the hell I was doing. You eventually get an idea of when these things are gonna work. Many thanks 👍👍
I can just make it simple and play the minor or major blues penta and by ear add the rest. No need to think of these diagrams. He did say one needs to know _how and when_ to implement the certain intervals. Well, the when and how is _by ear_ , not by theory. It has to be intuitive, so whatever makes the player be more relaxed and automated, the more the player can 'pre-hear' in his mind what to do next.
The pentas give the reference points and one can hear (the brain predicts) the intervals from those reference notes.
Often comes out as mixolydian and dorian but other modes too for me.
I didn't find this lesson to be practically helpful, unless I learn all the modes for everything in every place on the neck, well, unless I concentrate on this type of blues on the expence of everything else.
Actually Nick Jenssen neatly approaches and explains the same topic as in this video in his Sound Better Sundays lesson " Why The Minor Pentatonic Is Really Two Scales ". The point is that the penta really is a multipurpose tool, the Swiss army knife for playing.
On this particular subject he talks about the use of first knowing _the minor third_ (naturally known/heard from the minor pentatonic) and shifting that (b3) up to _the dominant third_ (the 3). Also shifting one step down from the b3 becomes the 2 and so the minor blues scale is changed into Mixolydian. Then we can overlap both scales on each other and we got the Mixo-blues scale.
It's a simpler, more intuitive and thus more effective approach imo.
His other short lessons on the pentas build on the same principle and show why and how that also will with higher probability result in more pleasurable experience for the listener. Really good stuff.
Great lesson and an absolutely stunning guitar.
right? cannot take my eyes off of it. so killer!
Love your style of teaching man! Rock on!!! 🤘 Thank you for the lesson!!!
Thanks, This is great. I used to play a Bmin Pentatonic over a GMaj7th and Vice Versa, then Substituted a B Natural Minor Scale at the 7th Fret and it links up with the G Mixolydian at the 3rd Fret Nicely. Prince used to use this Substitution. The Circle of 5ths, Relative Major and Minor Keys are great for Reference Plus the Relation between the 3rds Major & Minor Chords - AMin9 - CMaj7th - E Minor, GMin9 - BbMaj7th - DMin. Thank you for sharing your Knowledge, This is a Breathe of fresh air and builds Vocabulary. Thanks Brother, this is great.
Wow that guitar is stunning!
Hello swift im from indonesia your guitar performance its very nice😁😁😁👍👍👍

Man! I love the camera shooting! I should take inspiration for my videos too
Thanks, I like to keep my set up pretty simple. So this is just one camera 4k angle being cropped. Good luck with you channel. -Rob
Just made so much difference to my playing. Thankyou so much
immensely appreciated! i'll be studying this video for a while. Lots of love! \m/
Learning guitar is so exciting because there’s always that next thing you can add to your toolkit
Absolutely, that is what has kept me hooked for 25 years!
Great lesson
I think of “A Mixolydian” a simply a D major scale played over bass A.
It was easier for me to think of modes as a relative major rather than memorize shapes
Thanks and I also use the same trick for modes. Enjoy your practice Vince!
I think it’s easier just to say “it’s the blank scale with a flat blank.” Or whatever.
What are the benefits of joining?
This is just an absolutely classy sound that makes me want to practice practice practice, and you play it so that we can follow along. Thank you bro!!!!!
I have the same feeling,i am beginner And this channel motivating to go on and try to únorové, to be better, to enjoy guitarplay
