  • If you already know the pentatonic scale anywhere on the fretboard, you can instantly access the major scale modes by understanding how the modes relate to the pentatonic scale and to each other. Once you see it, you can't unsee it, and it boggles my mind that it's not always taught this way.

    Seriously... I watched so many people on RUclips to learn the scales, without success.

    This is an absolute banger. When I started to learn how to play a guitar I was literally repelled by how poorly different courses are structured, and turned off by the amount of patterns, forms, shapes, chords etc. presented for memorization, without any in-depth explanations of underlying system. This video and other stuff from the channel made it clicked so well and suddenly everything makes perfect sense and I am truly enjoying the learning now.

    Pardon me- I just wanted to say that as a guitar player/multi-instrumentalist and audio engineer of about 24 years (music journey started at 12), and now music teacher- I found these videos excellent. They’re helpful, very well-structured as lessons, even including a summary; that’s great teaching.
    Seen many great channels and lessons, but these seem great, especially for intermediate players looking to demystify some foundational concepts, shapes, relationships, etc., when we first start out.
    Excellent work, and thanks. The visualizations and the narration of the lesson really make these fantastic resources for guitar players, and those interested in aligning their theoretical mind with their technical understanding of the fretboard.

    This is really, really good. I was taught scales and notes and modes the ,"old" way - key signatures and where the notes are on the fret board. This confirms my own opinion is the pentatonic scales is the most important scale to learn on guitar as do much spins off from it.
    In 45 years of playing this is a great instructional video that will help so many.
    It may help to point out more that if form 1 is used at the 5th fret, the minor modes relate to A. Whereas the major modes in this position relate to C. Ie A Dorian and C Lydian have the same notes.
    I am now

    Your videos have been incredibly helpful to my fretboard navigation for both solo and rhythm playing. I already knew all minor and major triads and the 5 pentatonic boxes but for a long while had difficulty linking the two. The rectangle and stack patterns are such simple yet powerful concepts that instantly became my primary tool to find my way around the fretboard. I had also developed a half-baked intuition of how to add notes to pentatonic boxes to make some modes but your visualization make it much easier to understand and apply to all shapes. Keep these coming please! I appreciate the work you put into making these lessons 🙏

    And once again you opened a new door to a whole new world of melodies to be explored just like that. I've been playing guitar for 15 years now and never dared set a foot in the world of modes. It all just seemed so complicated and so much to learn off by heart. You and your approach to it made it look easy so I risked playing along to Blue Bossa (a track I usually play the pentatonic to) this time using the Aeolian mode and boom! there I was like Alice in Wonderland! Thanks so much for your work! Bought you another coffee!

    Your concepts are game- changers for me and helped simplified how I look at the chord tones as well. I already knew all the pentatonic shapes so the rectangle and the stack concept just made it super easy to identify where the 3rd 5th 7ths and roots are just based on where they fall in the rectangle or stack. Then there’s the easy way now to seamlessly jump between major and minor pentagon . And then this just takes it to another level. Thank you for this amazing content 🙏🙏

    I say man, you're the best! I love your videos. And i think the rectangle and stack method is a great way to think of scales. Makes it easier to just create the scales intead of memorizing five forms of 6 scales. That would give 30 different forms. Tried to learn it that way and it didn't take me anywhere. I think the rectangle and stack method will finally unlock the modes for me

  • @TomCPlus1
    @TomCPlus1 Год назад +1

    It's this. Always in this pattern. Always in this order. And it repeats. You can start on any string, at any point, and it will run from bottom to top and repeat.
    5 - 6 - 7 (repeats, bottom to top)
    2 - 34
    6 - 71
    34 - 5 (showing the B string shift here)
    71 - 2
    4 - 5 - 6
    1 - 2 - 3
    5 - 6 - 7
    And these scale degrees fit into the "rectangles" and "stacks". Modes just start on their respective numbers (1 Ionian, 2 Dorian, 3 Phrygian, 4 Lydian, 5 Mixolydian, 6 Aeolian, 7 Locrian which doesn't suck). It's there to be found.

    • @fretscience
      @fretscience  Год назад

      And yet it’s rarely taught that way. My 3nps video (coming soon) will cover what you just described. It’s still very useful (from a “making music” perspective) to be able to see the pentatonic scales inside the “universal pattern”.
      There’s a ton of value in knowing multiple ways to approach the subject 🎸🧪🤘

  • @fullthrottle3181
    @fullthrottle3181 7 месяцев назад

    Excellent! I have one suggestion and I hope I can share it properly. Put the Major mode and the minor mode shape side by side. Example not correct: the major mixolydian mode shape and the minor Dorian mode shape are the same. Just another way of memorizing when you are in either major or minor key and what 2 shapes are the same for each major or minor. This probably makes no sense only because I am not explaining it correctly. Anyway thanks for this video.

    I love your videos! It gave me a chuckle when you addressed locrian. I had wondered how that fit in the major and minor modes and you're right it was odd.
    I was literally working on just this idea earlier today. to see how the fills of the rectangle affect the stack when drawing out the other modes. I'm certainly adding this to my practice schedule for the next month. A little more root, 3rds and 5ths locating and this tool and I feel I'll be pretty great for moving around the fretboard.
    Any plans to address pattern translation for melodic minor and harmonic minor scales?
    Edit:
    I forgot to add that my soloing because of this system has gotten so much more fun!

    • @fretscience

  • @henkhenk4357
    @henkhenk4357 Год назад +1

    What is also easy : if you play major pentatonic and shift the shape 2 frets down you are in mixolydian territory (fe C maj shape to G minor shape => C mixolydian). If you play minor pentatonic shape and shift 2 frets up you are in dorian territory. (fe A min to B min shape => A dorian). No need to learn extended shapes and just use pentatonic shapes.

    • @fretscience
      @fretscience  Год назад +2

      Both approaches have their uses. It would be very hard to play many melodic sequences using the approach you’ve described (e.g., descending in fours), but it is a good way to give a modal flavor to a mostly pentatonic line. I plan to do a future video on the approach you’re describing, and I recommend learning both ways since each is useful in different situations. 🎸🧪🤘

      @henkhenk4357 Год назад +3

      @@hectorvelazcoh It is a trick a learned long ago from another guitarist. I try to keep things very simple and this works for me, since I only play dorian and mixolydian once in a while. It is important you emphasise the target notes in the pentatonic shapes (flat 7 for mixolydian and raised 6 for dorian). I understand that the OP is going to make a video about this approach. I suggest you await this, because he will do a far better job in explaining than me.
      Another trick is if you are going for the maj7 sound, you can play the pentatonic of the 3rd degree to get in that territory. For example Cmaj7 => play E minor pentatonic. In this case however you do not get the root (C), but I tend to mix the two shapes when I am using one of these tricks.(C maj penta and G min penta for C mixolydian. A min penta and B min penta for A dorian. C maj penta and E min penta for Cmaj7 sounds. Important is to highlight the modes characteristic note (b7 mixo, #6 dorian, 7 maj7) Hope this makes a bit sense.

    Ok so let me elaborate. The minor Phrygian mode - position 1 is the same as the major Mixilydian mode position 1. Seeing all 5 of these side by side would be an awesome way to memorize it. I guess I can just go back and forth and match them up but I thought your audience would like to see you have it at the end. Thanks again. Bob

    • @fretscience
      @fretscience  7 месяцев назад

      I understand what you’re saying. I have found that focusing on the rectangle and stack sub-shapes makes for dramatically less memorization, so the diagrams I show starting around 6:04 are meant to accomplish what you’re suggesting. All of that’s on one page in the PDF cheat sheet.

  • @jimbobur
    @jimbobur Год назад +1

    What about the additional pattern where you have the two extra notes staggered but in the other direction relative to the stack (bottom left + top right) and rectangle (top left + bottom right)?

    • @fretscience
      @fretscience  Год назад +1

      Good question! That pattern does not occur in the modes of the major scale. It would make different scales depending on which note you’d consider the root, but I don’t think any of them are used in practice. Might be fun to mess around with though 😊🎸🧪🤘

    Question here! First, thank you for all of this! Like others in the comments, I have been trying to understand scales, modes, triads, etc. for a while now with the help of RUclips videos and after a couple of your videos, things are really starting to make sense.
    My question is regarding Forms 1-5 of the Major and Minor Pentatonic Patterns you show throughout this video (and others). It seems like the Forms should be in the order of: Form 1, Form 4, Form 2, Form 5 and then Form 3. Is there a reason for the Form being in the order you have them? If so, can you explain a bit?
    Again, thank you so much for your explanations!

    • @fretscience
      @fretscience  Год назад

      I’m not sure if the forms truly have a universal naming convention. I numbered them starting from #1 being the first one most people learn, and then moving in order up the neck to higher frets. The numbers are definitely not important, but you *can* use them to remember how the patterns connect together horizontally. 🎸🧪🤘

    can someone tell me where those numbers b3 b7 amd 1 to 6 are for.. in 5:00 ..
    the b7, its not fets? because b7 fret isnt anything.. and whats it then because minor major are the same exept the numbers on it.. and i guess its not frets because of the b7 and b3..
    im beginner since 2 weeks and see alot of such videos but cant make anything out of it yet.

    • @fretscience
      @fretscience  4 месяца назад

      Those are the names of intervals relative to the root note of the scale. We hear the pitches of notes as relative to a home pitch, so those interval names correspond to how those notes sound to us in that context, and that’s what makes them worth knowing. All of these topics are intermediate-level, so they may not be useful to you yet if you’re just starting out.

      It’s incredibly helpful to learn both ways of playing these scales, and if you can’t pick flexibly, you’re neglecting important aspects of technique. On the other hand, if all you care about is shredding, then go for it, but this is not the channel for you
