    Great lesson, I just recently got the connection between major and minor pentatonics. Real eye opener. I was trying to play over Tennessee Whiskey and could not get the sound until I started with the major pentatonic. It’s definitely a journey and not a destination.

    There are so many videos out there about major and minor pentatonic. Although I already know these, I subscribed to your channel because you explained it more concisely and better than any other I’ve seen. Well done. You’ve done a service to the guitar community!

  • @darringodden7225
    @darringodden7225 Год назад +2

    Brilliant explanation Corey.
    It's so good to see you explain using the actual notes and not just pinky on the 5th 2nd fret etc.
    I understand this is how many learn but I had to learn the notes and their positions.
    It has taken me years.

    • @UmVtCg
      @UmVtCg 10 месяцев назад +2

      Pinky on the blabla teaches nothing. It's like learning a monkey a trick. Understanding the notes and more importantly the intervals, and how these connect into the caged system (triads) and the scale.

    Im someone who has messed about playing songs with just straightforward chords on a beat up 30 odd year old acoustic for years. Never watched or had a guitar lesson my life. Then I stumbled upon Corey on you tube. Now I always thought lead was somthing other people played not me. But in just a Couple of months these lessons have totally opened up my playing. Working single note melody's into my strumming. Thanks so much. The way it's described and linked together is so easy to understand. Really given me the confidence that I can learn and play more than just chords. Like a door has been opened. Can't say thanks enough for this inspiration. 👌👌👌👍👍👍

  • @druwk
    @druwk 3 года назад +2

    Very useful to do a simple exercise before you practice...to learn all the notes on the fret board! You will be able to utilizing lessons like this much more easily. If you have to “figure” out where any specific note is, you can’t “target” that note on the fly.
    Like how this lesson is broken down. KISS

    Very good lesson. A key learning point for me is the selecting a good progression that lends itself to sticking with the major pentatonic scale through out the tune. So much good bending opportunity that I broke a string on this lesson!

  • @VintageTubeTone

    What's really interesting is to play 4 bars of Cmaj, 4 bars of Am and 8 bars of D7 over the soloing you were doing in the middle of this video. There's a mixolydian connection there as well. Always great instruction, Corey.
