My old band teacher used to say something similar, he would address the class and say practice makes.....and everyone would say perfect, and he'd say no, that's what they say, but practice makes permanent. Perfect practice makes perfect. He was a very good teacher and it stuck out 😅
What I appreciate about Justin is that you can trust his judgment and direction. No clickbaity titles about secrets (as if there are any secrets left) you don't know that are holding you back, etc. I trust him and he's reasonable about what you should expect with each lesson. Teaching doesn't get any better than this.
We really appreciate these kind of comments. Authenticity is one of our main values and what you describe is one of the many facets. Thanks and keep on jamming! | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Assistant
I bought his monthly online lesson tutorials and it is bar none the best on the internet. Never knew learning to play the guitar would be so difficult, Justin makes it a lot easier for us greenhorns
3:58 - Yet another reason why I love Justin. Some other sell-out would have kept the suspense on as to what the next lesson would be, aiming to keep "engagement" high. But Justin is not in the funny business of analytics, metrics, views and all the other soul-crushing nonsense that content creators obsess over. Justin is only here to spread his love and expertise of the Guitar and music.
A great scale I learned long ago - from Hi to Lo it's the riff in Link Wray's "Rumble", wherein the 2nd to last note is bent with an extra beat and sounds so cool.
Love the videos. I played in highschool at my church and am now returning 14 years later. Much of my muscle memory is still there and this is an amazing refresher for me to drill on the mental side.
Been over several scale lessons and this is the only one I can understand, yes challenging for sure, but after 4 years of playing guitar, I think it's finally time to learn this!! THANKS!! 😊
I'm not a new player but I took some time off from playing and have come back. Even the SUPER EASY stuff is interesting to go back to because it's helped me realize things I learned wrong from the start that I need to improve as I get back into playing more seriously. Thank you so much for these videos.
Hey justin hoping to see you go over scales or point me in the right direction towards scales. I was told to practice them i like all music and jazz sound is what like
Great lesson and an "easy" scale, you always say that learning the scale is secondary to making music with the notes (in the scale) so to that end can you recommend a backing track for the E Minor Pentatonic Scale?
I’m a total beginner. I’ve had a few lessons. No mention of scales yet, so this video is unusual to me. Can I ask what the point of learning these scales is? What are they used for or what do they help you understand?

Hey Justin I have your app on my phone,your beginners guitar course. I don’t know if you did it or not but any idea about adding all your new guitar lessons to your app?
Does that tab mean that we can only play the em pentatonic scale from the 2nd fret or can u move scales around the fret board. Also how do u know which scales to use/that will work for a song if that makes sense ?
First off, it's not a tab, its a scale diagram, my friend. You have to play the notes as they are listed on the scale diagram. If you move it, it will no longer be the E Minor Pentatonic scale. There are certain positions on the fretboard that it can be played in, but you can't just play it anywhere. The minor pentatonic is a type of scale. It is called the the E minor pentatonic because it starts on the E note. Songs are not exactly based off scales. Specific parts might be, but not the whole thing. Songs are in certain keys. These keys will give you the chords that can be used, you can use other chords but it may not sound great. Musicians try to stick within the key because it sounds better that way. I hope this helps ♥️.
This was relatively easy without the metronome but once you put on a metronome, forcing yourself to stay on beat even at 80 BPM, it all goes out the window and doing it perfectly from start to finish is shockingly hard.
Start scales (when practicing) on the lowest available root note for the pattern. This embeds to tonality in your ear. Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher
Question. Is E Minor Penatonic using open strings because of standard tuning? Say I do the A Minor Penatonic, isn't it basically the same pattern. It just doesn't have the open strings?
The first position of the A min pent is the same SHAPE as the E min pentatonic but slided up the neck! While you notice a straight line in the pattern for A minor pent on the 5th fret, image sliding that all the way to fret 4,3,2,1...and 0? zero isn't freattable but it is your open string. That's why it is so important to know where the root knows are in your pattern. Apply the pattern to the root note and there you go. | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Assistant
Your question isn't clear. Notes to make a song? DO you mean to make a melody over a chord progression? Cheers 😊 | close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide [ www.justinguitar.com/ ] & Moderator on JustinGuitar Forum
This scale shape has note on all open strings so you need to play them to follow the shape. (E A D G B are all in E minor pentatonic). You can move that scale around and the root note will help you position in. check "shape one" on this page: www.justinguitar.com/guitar-lessons/minor-pentatonic-the-5-patterns-sc-304 | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Assistant
A minor scale is easy to recognize because of its flattened 3rd. The pentatonic scale takes 5 notes (and not 7 like a regular E major scale). If you wnt to explore the hows and why's of the minor pentatonic; check these lessons: | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Guide
Both E minor and E Major start on the note E (hence their name). What's the difference? Discover it here, on this lesson page: www.justinguitar.com/guitar-lessons/the-natural-minor-mt-571 | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Assistant
Please buy Justin’s books and subscribe. I rely on his site and videos continually so I always try and give him something but buying his books or subbing
The actual scale only has 5 notes, but the 6th note is an octave higher than the root note, so you are then playing the same 5 notes again, only in the higher octave.
Notes played: E, G, A, B, D followed by E, G, A, B, D followed by E, G 12 notes but only five notes. Does that help? Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher www.justinguitar.com
"Practice makes permanent, so practice perfectly." Now that's a quote.

My teacher always said “Practice makes Progress”
Too bad that your permanent is actually perishable.
Very well said
I really love that one I tell it to as many people as I can.

Thanks
Didnt know where to start and just learned this. Awesome man
I learn so much with this guy. Truly fab. Thanks Justin
Just the lesson I was looking for open E/Minor ,,perfect !
Great lesson!!!
I'm not a new player but I took some time off from playing and have come back.
Even the SUPER EASY stuff is interesting to go back to because it's helped me realize things I learned wrong from the start that I need to improve as I get back into playing more seriously. Thank you so much for these videos.
A good way to learn this scale is by learning to play link wray - rumble. dead easy.
Back in black by acdc helped me a lot with that scale
Thank you Justin.. I like the way you explain the lesson plainly. 👍🎸
Justin the man, simple, concise, calm
Thank you.
Really appreciate this lesson ! Another step up that ladder 💥
I found this scale much easier and faster to play using alternate picking rather than all down strokes.
Really you're a great teacher. Practice makes man perfect truely said.

dunno if its any help 2 years down the linme but Tony Iommi plays a LOT in this scale
If I’m not mistaken wish you were here’s intro use this scale
Justin is the man! Like the way you teach my brother. Thanks a million!
You're the best Justin❤️
Thank You Justin 🎸
Made it so simple,
Thanks Justin!
Link Wray - Rumble is a good song to practice this
Brilliant lesson, many thanks
Thank you, Justin! That's great!
Brilliant video thanks
You are a good teacher, thanks
thank you so much Justin
@justin guitar just to say you rock at teaching buddy 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Super easy... the strumming stuff I still find difficult, but picking single notes comes easily
Great vid!
To create a riff using this scale, do you have to stick to playing what’s only in the chart?
You're the best.

@@alyssarodriguez9511 extremely helpful thank you
How do I use this scale. Where do I use it. I have learnt both A and E pentatonic scale but don't know how to use them
When should I start alternate picking
This was relatively easy without the metronome but once you put on a metronome, forcing yourself to stay on beat even at 80 BPM, it all goes out the window and doing it perfectly from start to finish is shockingly hard.
So I'm finding I can do it easily with my fingers but should I be using a pic with this scale to practice both maybe??
Same here 👍
Can I ask why we start with the open string? Can it be played the other way or would that not be the correct scale?
Start scales (when practicing) on the lowest available root note for the pattern. This embeds to tonality in your ear.
Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher
I’m VERY new. Looking at that chart, how do I know which string strums are open?
great questions, I Still don't know.
This scale doesn't have the F# or a C in it and I don't understand why. Can you explain?
Question. Is E Minor Penatonic using open strings because of standard tuning? Say I do the A Minor Penatonic, isn't it basically the same pattern. It just doesn't have the open strings?

I m about to buy justin guitar songbook from amazom and unfortunately cant able to see sample tap, could u help.
Justin , can I use it as my notes to create a song? Thanks.
Your question isn't clear. Notes to make a song? DO you mean to make a melody over a chord progression?
Cheers 😊
| close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide [ www.justinguitar.com/ ] & Moderator on JustinGuitar Forum
Yah, i mean melody. that family of chord i can create a melody for a composition? Thanks.
So going down, it’s open note, play the note. Then going back up it’s, play the note, open note?
This scale shape has note on all open strings so you need to play them to follow the shape. (E A D G B are all in E minor pentatonic).

What makes this scale minor instead of just E

I'm confused. Why isn't that the E Major scale? The first string open is an E isn't it?

Anyone know how to make use of this scale?
Blues improvisiations are fun! www.justinguitar.com/modules/blues-lead-1-essential | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Guide
@@justinguitar I actually think you at Justinguitar are the best there is. THANKS.
Why is this called a pentatonic scale when there are 11 notes in it???
The actual scale only has 5 notes, but the 6th note is an octave higher than the root note, so you are then playing the same 5 notes again, only in the higher octave.
Notes played:
E, G, A, B, D
followed by
E, G, A, B, D
followed by
E, G
12 notes but only five notes.
Does that help?
Cheers 😊

dude you became old...
This too easy a caveman can do it
too much talk! show the scale over and over .....stop talking!
How is this gonna help me play NIRVANA
Thanks
