    Hey guys at 21:40 I run through all 5 of the Pentatonic scale shapes for reference.
    Please feel free to leave any questions you have here and I’ll get through them as soon as I can, thank you so much for watching for 15 years it is truly appreciated :-)

    Brilliant. I would love to see graphics showing what notes to play while you're talking about techniques.

    Reading comments that this was previously paid material. This is the best quality pentatonic lesson that is freely available on youtube as of it's upload. I wish I had this when I first started learning them but still learned a thing or two from this video. Excellent work can't wait to see more.

    I've played for quite a while, and i don't think i've actually learned anything new for a few years now. I think i'll do a deep-dive with this series and pick up some more skills. See if i can invoke the same practice-discipline as i could when i was a teenager!

    Buying this course was one of the best things I did. I know some who bought it might be frustrated that its now available free on here, but I'm glad it gets to reach a wider audience. I urge everyone to follow this series because its great. Share the knowledge and share the love guys✌🤘

      @RobChappers  3 года назад +4

      Hi Lewis, I really appreciate this - yes I released this about a year ago as a paid course, as you know it also came with other parts like backing tracks et cetera. I decided it was time to give it away for free since it had run its course, but also as a thank you to the many people who have supported me over the past 15 years. Thanks for your support, I really appreciate you being here :-)

    I recall some video from long ago where a dreadded Rob shyly demonstrated a similar lesson. If you find it, listen to his growth as a guitarist between the two. I love hearing & seeing how Rob has grown as a musician, makes me feel like I am also improving with my sound. Great job my friend, cheers from Monterey, CA, USA =)

    Your 4 2-note "chord" progression:
    The second one is major (contains C#)
    That's Major scale.
    But you're teaching pentatonic minor 1st position scale...no C#.
    Right?

    • @RobChappers
      @RobChappers  3 года назад +1

      Blues is all about the ambiguity between major and minor, you’ll find routinely blues or even rock musicians will take a minor third and nudge it towards a major third. It’s more than just a passing note it is a stylistic quotation that is integral to blues rock. Hope that helped :-)
