I'm 73yrs old & now taking up my guitar playing "seriously" 😄 This is a great aid to learning & fretting exercise. For those who have commented that they can't make out where you are actually fretting, just listen to the note, use your "ear" and you can find it that way.
Help! I need it! I saw an old dude in Dallas Playing and old firebird he was just playing the Minor pent. But it was so flavorful . Just the way he effortlessly moved from string to string and the little small steps he took to make it sound like he was fluttering. Like Angus Young does sometimes they move from string to string so fast it almost becomes impossible to pick out what there doing! But it sounds great. I think Ive developed crippling bad habits. This is a good lesson.
Great ideas to make the otherwise boring pentatonic scale sound musical. Considering this is usually the first scale beginning guitar players learn this is a most valuable lesson. Also serves as great picking exercises for left and right-hand coordination. Well done, Jared!
came from reddit and subbed. quality video and outstanding voice over. this is the kind of quality sorely lacking in most YT instructional guitar videos. Thanks for your work and for sharing!
Thanks, David! That really means a lot. I've been on RUclips for only a few months and have been struggling to find my "voice" and approach. I want the lessons to be as beneficial as possible for people. Your feedback is super helpful in that it tells me I'm heading in the right direction. Cheers! :)
Jared you demonstrate the true definition of what “education” means….to bring out of! Somehow I know this stuff but when you explain it then it all makes complete sense and I’m left scratching my head as to why I didn’t see it this way before! Bit by bit I’m going to invest in your various courses as I know you are the best teacher I never had. Thank you for sharing your time and wisdom.
That's something I was looking for for a while. I am trying (let's say it's one of many approaches) not only to understand pentatonic as my first scale, but to do it in a way that will let me learn any other scales more efficently in the future. Thanks for upload!
Here on February 10,2021: this video has excellent advice to make scales melodic. I like your first pattern, skipping a note, and will apply it to all scales which I’m learning. Thank you.
Thank you for a valuable lesson. I’m the guy you are describing who tries to improvise solos using scales and they sound like boring scales. This lesson will definitely help.
The back neighbor pattern in particular is so fun and satisfying! I love learning this way - You’re a great teacher, man. Not just your guidance, but your means of conveying your ideas, is oh so concise and simple to follow along to. I can’t express my utter thanks enough in words. I hope you’ll understand. Rock on, Jared!
I didn’t get it either😅. As far as i understood, you play 5 notes and then go back 2 notes and play 5 notes from there. Rinse and repeat. So basically +5/-2
Great lesson! I definitely agree - patterns are one of the most important things you need to have under your fingers to create more cohesive, melodic solos.
thank you so much sir. It taught me a lot as a beginner.. Jesus loves you sir believe and receive the Lord Jesus you and your household will be Save. This is all I can give. Thank you once again continue to share your knowledge on guitar
Sound Guitar ____ I am disappointed that your 3 Pentatonic Scale patterns reverted back to TABS ... I was hoping that you would convert the lessons into 'Intervallic scale degrees, so as to be able to use any Tonic. Admittedly' I am unable to to that myself, as it is time consuming and few think in those terms. PEACE !
I'm sorry you were disappointed! The melodic patterns exercises aren't meant to be about scale degrees, they're just about physically breaking up the scale so it's not strictly linear and so we can see the whole map of the scale form at once. But if you want to do the melodic patterns exercises while being mindful of the scale degree numbers then I recommend using the scale sheet image from this page: www.soundguitarlessons.com/blog/Minor-Pentatonic-Scale-Guitar-Positions, and having it side by side with the melodic patterns so you can look and see which scale degree you're playing, or use it to write out the numbers on the patterns sheet - whatever works best for you. Hope that helps! -Jared
Good lesson but think it could have been improved by including examples of using these patterns in solos, improv, etc. Otherwise they're just memorized patterns, like scales.
Thanks for the helpful feedback and suggestion! I appreciate it. I've gotten better at including more real music examples in recent videos. I definiltey agree they are important. In this video I do include an example of improvising using the patterns, I just don't explicitly point it out: check out starting here: ruclips.net/video/aTMoxAhqgG8/видео.html. Announcing it as an example would have been better. Again, thanks for the constructive advice! Cheers! -Jared
@@soundguitar Thanks. Yes, I guess I missed the examples. As it neared the end I was hoping for some examples over a backing track to hear things in context. Still a great lesson though.

They can also change the speed of the vid to capture his fretting:) I do it all the time:)

This is the first time I ever see any explanation like this on guitar scales.
Amazing just amazing
Thank you
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
Same here. Much love from Philippines 🇵🇭

Glad it was helpful! Thanks
Thank you Jared, this is a real game changer for me!
You're welcome, Claudio! Glad to hear that! :) Thanks
Thank you for a valuable lesson. I’m the guy you are describing who tries to improvise solos using scales and they sound like boring scales. This lesson will definitely help.
I was that person too! I know how it feels. I'm glad this lesson feels helpful. thanks! :) -Jared
these were helpful to get me outta my 'scaley' solos.
Thank you for sharing this lesson. Yes I like this. Cheers from Indonesia.
Oh, apparently I watched this twice and I still like it. 😄
Моє вітання, дуже гарний урок, дякую Вам!!!

Rock on, Jared!
Glad you like that one! That's my fave as well :) Thank YOU for watching and thanks for the kind words and support! :) Cheers, ~~Jared
Slash plays this a lot
Totally!
Thanks Jared, being able to practice melodic patterns is really useful and makes practice more interesting.
Glad to hear that, Ot! Thanks! :)
Yes
Cheers!
Very helpful explanation, understandable, smooth and pleasant delivery. Keep going mate!
Thank you! 🙏
Yes!!! Pat Metheny used the first Pattern in a song.
Hell yeah! Good catch
I liked this lesson but I had trouble following pattern 3. Which note do you skip between each group of 5?
Just skip one note in the scale-the previous note that was just played. Hope that helps!
I didn’t get it either😅. As far as i understood, you play 5 notes and then go back 2 notes and play 5 notes from there. Rinse and repeat. So basically +5/-2

Absolutely! Thanks!

there has to be a more systematic approach other than learning patterns

@@garimh Good to know, that's great feedback! Much appreciated. And glad you liked it anyway too. Thanks! -Jared
This was not very clear
Sorry about that! :/ I'll try harder
Yellow tortex users unite!
Right on! :)
Too much for me at this point. Amazing skills though.
Not clear explanation
Sorry about that, I'll do better
