    Thanks! Really opened my eyes. Country playing has always mystified me because I'm used to learning songs by Zeppelin and Kiss which typically use the same scales.

    Just on the issue of Temptations versus OJays - the song was written by Smokey Robinson and then, as usual in Motown, a lot of groups from Motown and elsewhere covered it eventually. I saw Smokey himself do it. Nearly everybody uses the same intro. But this guy is pretty young - cut him some slack.

  • @Rollmop
    @Rollmop 10 месяцев назад

    Thanks. Interesting viewpoint. Your C Major Pentatonic with and added minor 3rd gives you C-D-Eb-E-G-A-C and your (relative minor) A (Minor) blues Scale adds the tritone giving you A-C-D-Eb-E-G-A - same notes.

    It's probably worth noting that the flat fifth of minor pentatonic is the same note as the flat 3rd of the relative major pentatonic. So these are both just blues scales played in different modes.

    The official names are the Major Blues and the Minor Blues. (That's what they call them in the U.S) They are not just used in Country music; they are also used in Blues and Rock. Seems like this was a brit take on the scales. To generalize- the Major blues is associated more with Country and the Minor Blues with Rock. Blues uses them both, but prob the Minor more. The Major was also termed 'Ragtime' by some.

      Drake 181 its been a few months ago now but i need to do things slow at 1st. Use a metronome n set it where its a tiny bit too fast for wat ur workin on ,then when that speed is a piece of cake, i mean no problem at all, then speed it up 2,3 clicks and master that speed n on n on. Playing faster will come to ya, i think mayb its our hands,fingers need to memorize the movement thats unfamiliar, But thats an absolute 1st class guess. Keep after it . Good luck.

I took it apart.I look at the.value of the capacitors. They were different. I don't know if it was a original part or somebody made the improvement. Best thing to do is go to a dealer and try out today's version and the replicas. I took a bit of bath money wise. Live and learn.
