The book "Line Games" by Randy Vincent is a huge dive into applying not just major/minor hexatonics but also melodic minor/altered hexatonic scales to single note jazz lines.
I watch two things on RUclips: anything Rick Beato and anything about Bach’s music and life. Time with my children, working, exercising, playing my guitar, reading books and learning from these two musical giants…one could do much worse! Thank you, Rick, truly and sincerely!!
Nice! This box / pattern works on 4th degree of the major scale as well. Just with different resolution notes. Using ear as a guide. On Gmaj7 chord, both G Major hexatonic and C Major hexatonic are acceptable. G hexatonic omits the 4th of the G major scale and C hexatonic omits the 7th of the G major scale Min pentatonic box / pattern works on min 1st 4th and 5th scale degrees. ( another way of expanding beyond normal pentatonic ideas ) ;)
@@Ben_Mdws Funny part is I wasn’t even into Wilco… I just went on Audible and found 3 books (one an Audible exclusive) by Jeff… I REALLY felt the spirit of music come through. (Also, I started listening to Wilco… and, I really love Jeff… his guitar…. And his son … on his 🥁 drums)❤️🎉
Hexatonic scales are nice indeed. And so much variation. Aeolian minus 6 gives you a Celtic sounding one, mixolydian minus 2 sounds Indian etc. I love ‘em.
It’s the same thing. In other words a scale it’s a pitch collection. The difference in terminology is depending if you are talking about tonal music or post-tonal music.
The reason the G major scale works so well over that E minor chord is because it (the E minor) is the relative minor key to G major. (C major / A minor, D major/ B minor, ect ect...) Take any note, 3 half steps lower gives you the relative minor key.
Wow, this sound reminds me strongly of what Jacob Collier is pulling off (no pun intended) on his 5-string custom Taylor with open tuning. Purely based on feel, I'm not a theorist. What do you guys think? Rick? :-)
I'd love to lesrn how to transpose better. My son learns clarinet and saxophone, borh instruments of course are instruments that play in a transposed key.. sorry if i am using the wrong terminology.. like the clarinet is a Bb instrument. I want to play rhythm guitar alongside him to make his practice more enjoyable for both of us. I've played guitar for 20 years but never really could get my head around theory. Anyway, would love aome tips on how to transpose into his key signatures because it doesn't seem to work the way i think.
the six note scale is something I discovered for myself 45 years ago. I got the idea from the Johnny Smith method book. He talks about upper structure. I got tired of using the pentatonic for everything and found I could use a six node G scale which is 123456 for G major. Also the same scale or the same notes for C major 7, Fmajor 7 # 11. I found that by flattering the six in the scale I could use it for melodic minor derived chords. The G scale with a flat six could go over F7#11 or B7 altered.
I want to first thank you for this video. I'm going to have to slow it way down to see what your fingers are doing. Second, I came across a song that I haven't heard in a long time and wanted to suggest a listen to everyone here. The song is Radar Love by Golden Earring. In the middle of the song there is a great drum solo and the bass riff is killer. Hope everyone enjoys this song as much as I do. Happy Listening 🎶 ☺️ 🎶 🎵
Flow comes from knowledge, practice, and application. Rick definitely has that, and these lessons are a well thought-out means to help get us there. I agree, Rick, and plenty of other teachers, should be as recognized for their talents as pop and rock stars are, but that's the nature of the world we live in. The greatest 'influencers' may be people we never hear about. What teachers have influenced your playing, or your life? Are they famous ? Some should be. Most don't see that as important.
@@rickjason215 Indeed! But seriously, not someone you heard, or a book you wrote. The people who worked with you, taught you in close proximity. It's important to know that it's often people who are unknown to the general public. They're not less important.
I am happy that I found it myself twenty years ago and even happier that it is considered a scale cause one of my more musically educated friend told me it's not and I'm gonna nag him about it next time I see him.

Respect for you Rick, ( snaps fingers )... ' Like that!' ✌
Rick I thought you were going to play Billy in the Low Ground or Temperance Reel!
I was wondering if you could put the scale pattern in the description and link it

The moment those chords started... 🌌

Just finished Jeff Tweedy’s book on writing a song really from his heart and soul. How about getting an interview with him …Hey Rick… 🎉❤Love Ya!
I agree. That would be very cool.

@@Heene1028 I’m much the same, TBH. I know their early records, but when I read his autobiography I enjoyed it a lot.

That's a really great sounding Gibson.
Does anyone know what is creating that synth pad effect that starts around 1:50? Is it a pedal?
It is probably just a pad set up in Protools.
Sounds like a keyboard set to chorus strings, either on a loop or held by a sustain pedal.
Great lesson, Rick. Love it.
Always great to find a new Rick Beato vid in my notifications!
So when is it a "scale" and when just a "pitch collection"?
It’s the same thing. In other words a scale it’s a pitch collection. The difference in terminology is depending if you are talking about tonal music or post-tonal music.
Love the hexatonic scale, the maj7 is beautiful
I believe Dickey Betts' song 'Jessica' uses a hexatonic scale - beautifully, I should add...
The reason the G major scale works so well over that E minor chord is because it (the E minor) is the relative minor key to G major. (C major / A minor, D major/ B minor, ect ect...) Take any note, 3 half steps lower gives you the relative minor key.
Em=G6
Rick, that is just so beautiful and special, absolutely magical!!!
Comfortably Numb (Smile) Respect!
This is just a major pentatonic scale with the major 7th, or a major scale without the 4th, is it?
Do I hear the Temptation's 'My Girl'?
It's Easy to see that this guy has his hours punched and then some.
So it’s the major pentatonic with the 7th
I can only wish that I had Rick’s magic fingers.
God day. Blessings. Awesome job.
Very inspirational
How do we create a 6 note scale based on the minor pentatonic? Do we add the 2nd degree of the minor scale or do we add the 6th? Answer: the 2nd.
Either. Different sounds
Wow, this sound reminds me strongly of what Jacob Collier is pulling off (no pun intended) on his 5-string custom Taylor with open tuning. Purely based on feel, I'm not a theorist. What do you guys think? Rick? :-)
This nearly got away from me. Glad I found it sifting backwards through. 😊

A quick look with enough to keep you practicing for a while. Maybe years... Cheers Rick.
Brilliant
That country western sounds exactly how an acoustic should it’s perfect even thru phone speakers
what about the b3 semitone scale, also very nice 6 tone major scale :)
This is brilliant ❤❤❤
Great stuff presented here. Love these little lessons with the Secret Sauce.
Wow omitting Lydian is really cool :)
that G at 6 seconds into the video sounds like a Cheap Trick chord at the beginning of the "Flame"
Roll with it❤
I think the best six note scale is the pentatonic scale.
No, that would be five notes bro...
You mean blues scale I guess
Not sure if I missed a joke, but pentatonic is a five note scale as the name "penta" implies.
@@ЕвгенийКрейнес-о8н Yep, there are tons of hexatonic scales. Just look them up! They're are a lot of fun!
😂😂😂😊
Niceeee
👍👍
if you want your song played on the radio, it must have the 4 golden chords.
Hex
Nothing will teach me how to flow. I didn’t see Rick in The Rolling Stones greatest 250 guitarists.
you're trying to find a benchmark for good guitar playing and the best you can come up with is some list by a stupid magazine?
It’s because your brain is closed. Simple.😕
