You lost me around the five minute mark. I think I need to sign up and get on the waiting list 🫣
@@HandyLdo it!
@@michaelvarney. Can’t say no to a Michael, that’s my name too 👍🏽🫡
Signed up to the waiting list. Thank you for the effort you put in mate.
Brandon what pic do you use? I'm obsessed with the Jazz 3. I haven't been able to switch since I found them.
8 min after a 42 min video drops I can say with confidence that the whole video is exactly what I needed to get off the cigarrets.
Instructions unclear: purchased cigarettes
This is actually quite fucking nice.
Having a name for each pentatonic key helps quite a lot in identifying and memorizing even if they are "unofficial"
Papa Brandon showing us some love with a true long form video. Appreciate it!
Dude this is fucking amazing! I've never seen this explained and as comprehensive as this. I can't wait to get stuck in, thank you!
I can finally understand the link between scale names and how the relate to the CAGED system. Like minor is the G shape form and major is the E shape form. This will really help when learning from different people.
Thank you really needed this!
17 minutes in and you gave me a musical epiphany. I may not be ready for stage 4 but I now understand a lot more and had some questions answered. Seeing the scale names as you played really made it click
Man we don’t appreciate you enough this was amazing
Truly the best pentatonic masterclass.
What you're doing is so useful, thank you and keep going no matter how
This vid is super rich in knowledge. Thank you so much.
Love this video and the effort you put in! Thanks so much!
Very informative Brandon. I like the way you describe your shapes. I figured out why in like 2 seconds lol. But it's actually pretty genius. Keep up the awesome work man
I'm geeked about this!
love watching ur videos brandon 🙏🙏❤❤
Such a great lesson!!
Thank you
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS AND YOU’RE VIDEOS THEY HELP SOOO MUCH
Much appreciation for the thoroughness 🙏. Great lesson !!
WOW, this is GREAT! Thanks
This is what I needed for a break through
Thank You so much
This video is just pure gold.
Awesome lesson,cheers.
Joining the waiting list tonight. Great lesson.
thank you so much for this video❤
best pentatonic video i have ever seen, keep posting useful videos like this because are video like this that are really useful for people trying to learn the pentatonic
Yeah that would be nice but it’s obvious he is doing longer videos and a mid year sign up to boost his sales. People don’t want to pay for a year long guitar course that costs like $2000, that’s ridiculous
@@Robert-sn6vkBullshit they don’t. He’s selling out his course each run. $2k for a year of excellent guitar lessons is not unreasonable by any means. Even 20 years ago it was common to see lessons for one hour per week going at $50 a lesson. You do the math. The man is providing a valuable service, it’s not ridiculous just because you are one of the people who can’t, or chooses not to afford it.
@@ronsin9490 Dude, opinions are personal, and mine stands on its own merit. Debating online won’t sway my stance, especially when it’s laced with assumptions about my finances based off of nothing but what you’ve conjured up in your head. Let’s focus on constructive dialogue rather than undermining each other’s views, see if you can try to ACT like more of an adult next time you comment
@@Robert-sn6vk What a pretentious retort. I gave two options for your financial situation, one of which being your choice to not pay for his course. Since you’re so butthurt over an opinion other than your own maybe you should get off the cigarettes and get off the channel. If you can’t argue reason with anything other than based statements to try and make yourself sound intelligent then you are neither adult nor offering constructive anything.
Your initial comment was an attack on the creators motives based on nothing but assumptions of your own. Also based on your own assumptions of his financial situations which are based on nothing but what you’ve conjured up in your head. Whining about cost while clearly knowing nothing about the value of what that cost covers. Next time you want to offer an opinion have some facts and have some tact and you won’t get called for bullshit. I personally don’t care if I sway your opinion or not. You should heed your own advice when commenting on other people’s comments instead of being a hypocritical ass.
The guy works his ass off. The fact that you get any of his knowledge for free is your own luck. Yes he’s marketing himself but he deserves to make money. The value of the course is very reasonable. Whether you can afford it or not is entirely up to you. But don’t act like the only reason you don’t is because it’s ridiculous to think someone would pay for it.
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge
This gonna be a lot helpful to me
This is exactly what I needed. Now I know how to efficiently structure practice. One of these days it’ll come in handy 😅
glad your doing long form content
dude you are a legend youtube needed this
Very thanks, Master Brandon, directly to the point. Thanks for vanish the mist of my undiscipline self in the Pentatonic topic. Thanks for the wisdom and the effort it took to make this quintessencial video.
Been looking for something l can comprehend. Thanx
Thank you 😊
Thanks man. This was great. I've been playing since November and I knew the shapes because of an excerise I found on RUclips that uses all 5 shapes but I never knew what they were called and i knew the shapes but hat was it. This was very informative. You're the man Brandon.
Also, that thing about starting in an upstroke was extremely helpful. I don't think anyone I've seen has covered that and I'm noticing my picking is faster already. Right. Now time for a 🚬 break. 💪💪
Hi. I’m a 40 year old stoner dude that is very well versed in in all 5 pentatonic positions. For a long time.
I approve of your modal names, with extreme conviction ⚡️
This whole lesson was great and thank you boss 🥋🖤
Just a note for anyone who might be struggling with getting the first drills up to speed. You should practice it starting on an upstroke just make sure you are using upward pick slanting (which Brandon clearly is). If you are unable to do that you can use downward pick slanting just make sure you start on a downstroke at that point. I agree with Brandon that starting on an upstroke is better for those examples as you end up getting better economy of motion, but most of the students I’ve had that are beginners/intermediate players have a tough time starting any exercise on an upstroke. For anyone who is unaware what i mean by pick slanting check out Troy Grady’s channel he really is the authority on explaining that.
Good info in this video and explained well…. Dead ass about the whole “you’re not cool so embrace being uncool and will thus be much cooler” thing I said earlier. Humility = ACCURATE self appraisal
Your awsome man I used to teach guitar in a music shop in the early 00's and this is helping me remember everything I lost a pinky but it doesn't slow me down
Thank you so much Sir Brandon for sharing this, verry Useful Lesson, Very Helpful to us who can't afford paying Guitar Lessons .Keep It Up. Got Bless and More Power To Your Channel. More Guitar Lessons Videos to come.
Thanks for sharin all this for free.. you're a great teacher
you're my life saver man hopefully i get this done under a month
Hooah!!!! Guitar treat!!
I'm only at level 2 but the whole lesson is interesting. Even for a beginner like me it offers perspective and a long term vision. This is most appreciated. Also, the nomenclature used helped me better understand the scale as well what modes are. Thank you. I'll come back here for level 3.
This was exactly what i needed to unstuck my playing. Thank you, you are the best teacher in this platform.
Got my subscription
4:53 - That slide is the best part of the video. Ha!
I’m 94 years old and have been playing guitar for 93 years and I have never broken out of the minor pentatonic and now I am sweeping Hungarian scale and two hand tapping. Incredible.
Maybe if you have 3 or 4 more years left on this wild planet you could learn tornado of souls solo before you pass
Nice video, I hope you have FOOKIN NICE DAY!!
I would love a video like this for a different important concept, like the diatonic major scale and its modes.
ITS BACK!!
I use all 5 shapes at G A C D and E then keep going to the 22nd fret. This puts me on all CAGED notes on the guitar. I time myself from start to finish. It’s teaching me the shapes, how to play without looking and I can jam Am Em and C backing tracks all over the neck. Ya never stop learning. I enjoy your lessons, a little brash at times. 😎
The brashness compensates for the Canadian-ness. Like ice hockey does. 😊
Use all 12 notes over a Blues. Start with a Dom.7 arpeggio, 1-3-5-b7; add b3/4/b5, then 6, then 2; finally use b2/b6/7 in chromatic lines that resolve.
Bro this released at the perfect time, I just had my first jam session and choked up when trying to improvise over chords lol
This helped me so much! Thanks, for picking up guitar and not cigarettes!
4:53 metalhead habits \m/
this is a great video for stubborn players like myself
Brandon we want more long lessons videos❤
This is a superb video Brandon Thanks❤
I hope to see more long ass videos like this
Probably one on RELATIVE MINOR!!
(DAY8)
“Inside picking”. Sounds like boogers. Great video bro
I finished it and I'm officially a G now
Fantástico
I’m going to have to watch this numerous times. I got lost quickly.
I saw this yesterday
if you mess up dont just keep going to you get it right , learn the shape really slowly playing the correct note every time , then build speed up , or your mess it up just like this lad . slow every thing down its not a race
Great Playing Mate, can you please explain what intervals your modal shapes contain as I think they might be missing the key element of said mode
Let’s fucking go
That's a sweet Ultra Tele.
Hey Brandon, I came to this video after watching your other one on "mistakes intermediate guitarists" make and you mention how one should use italian grip over hendrix grip when playing lead lines. However, I see you are using Hendrix grip quite a lot when playing these exercises. Can you explain why that is the case?
U should name that PRS ol' Warmy
🤘
What is the most effective exercise to strengthen the little finger. 2. Make good combination for index and little finger?😫
On the Level 1 ? Is it similar to The CAGED system because the way you do it makes me wanna know what you are thinking. Please lmk what other solutions or videos I should look into also please. And thank you ❤
I don't really agree with the argument about starting on an up stroke. Yes the second down stroke moves you in the direction of the next string but if you're alternate picking you still have to get all the way to the other side of the next string before doing the first up stroke on the next string. If you start with a downstroke and your second pick stroke on the first string is an up stroke you have to pass over the first string to get to the downstroke on the next string but you don't have to get to the other side of the second string. Either way your pick has to pass over 1 string when changing strings and the total distance travelled by the pick is essentially the same. If you were economy picking the argument would make more sense. For this the more important thing is to have some kind of pick slant so either your upstroke or your downstroke is escaping the plane of the strings. You can do 2 way pick slanting as well but sticking to one way pick slanting works fine for 2 note per string licks.
I also have some qualms about this. Like sure, you can ascend a little faster I suppose but once you change direction to descend you're starting with upstrokes which to me feels super unnatural and goes counter to what he also says for descending lines. Unless you double up the final note before you start descending I guess. Starting with upstrokes really pushes me to economy pick, which ... maybe that's good? But I was under the impression that that is really for more 3 note per string lines. But I agree that yes the pickslanting is key which is something I'm really trying to start getting into. I've been playing for 20 years+ but man it is tough to learn and change my angle to do it. Overall though these lessons are SUPER AWESOME.
Regarding the names, he’s naming the pentatonic scales off of the scale degrees, not the specifics of the tonalities. I think it’s a lot easier and better this way than the number system.
I use the CAGED system names. E form, D form, etc. I know that the CAGED system is flawed, but it’s really just about associating a root, with a finger, with a shape/form.
Example: third finger, root on A string = C form. First finger, root on A string = A form. Fourth finger, root on low E string = G form. Etc.
I dont think that modal names of shapes for pentatonics or diatonic patterns is appropriate because modes are not scales, they are chord progressions,
@@garyeggleton1142Modes are definitely not “chord progressions”. Modes are definitely scales. They are scales that all start on a different note of the major scale. Here they are: 1) Ionian, the major scale WW1/2WWW1/2; 2) Dorian, b3-b7; 3) Phrygian, b2-b3-b6-b7; 4) Lydian, #4; 5) Mixolydian, b7; 6) Aolian, b3-b6-b7; 7) Locrian, b2-b3-b5-b6-b7.
- You must memorize these formulas and be able to play all 7 modes for one octave, two octaves, and three octaves. -
@@garyeggleton1142 modes are not chord progressions, but chord progressions help highlight the sound of a mode. Harmonizing the modes scale will allow you to properly pull the ear to the characteristic sound of a given mode.
there's one part for me where the peny hasn't dropped yet, it might be the cigarettes. When soloing over a progression using the pentatonic, do you use the scale for the chord being played per bar? becasue if I'm for example in Am, then an Em is played, it has a B that's not in the Am Pentatonic scale. This might be a dumb question
Shit, dude I just noticed your X ring for the first time. What years did you go to St. FX? I was there 1997-1999. Also,!was Skip Beckwith still teaching when you were there?
Thing is if you get this down, the other 2 notes are easy to find.
Can you talk about the circle of fifths and how can it be applied to soloing
Best lesson ever. But got to have a cigarrete after being pissed off by the fact that English aint my firsrt language.
Bro wtf, 2 mins in the video and i always improved my picking speed by 40%. MAN
Chain smoking menthols while I watch this
You are as good as fuck man👏👏👏
Can the next video be about how chords are named?
I got on the waiting list for your course but never got an email
I lost my cigarettes because of this!
8:53 HE FAILED. HE HUMAN.
Rotate the fret diagram 90° clockwise homeboy 😂
turn your head
@ljub0, I am not a dog pondering something....its advertised as the best/most in depth video on the subject...its a big claim....I like Brandons character and enjoy the entertainment value from it.
As a beginner, what video of yours should I watch first
This
Great man thanks a lot..❤❤
Level 3 is profit.
2 min 15 seconds in…. Stopping here. I’ll be back! Must practice.
I dont get the other shapes with modal names, when to me they are all in one key
Begginer here, How does the key affect the development of the scale?
Also, why is i.e the G major pentatonic called G minor?
You call the pentatonic shapes those names for one simple reason: they are wrong and confusing and will lead your students to misunderstand modes for the rest of their lives. Modes are NOT shapes.
As someone who is just learning guitar this is mind boggling. I have flash cards for 5 different minor pentatonic shapes up and down the fretboard that I’ve been learning. The last video uses only the first shape everywhere on the fretboard, now this video calls them entirely different scales. I just want someone to explain this
Yes you're right modes aren't shapes but anyone with a firm understanding of basic music theory should be able to piece that together and understands what he means. It makes you think for a second, which is the best way to learn. He also says it's informal) Go back to the first lesson the Gm root shape. That shape is always the 6 of its major hence Bb so "Bb Major" then C obviously the Dorian and so on. Then the circle of fifths tips. He's completely right. If you follow that method you will fall out of place. The only thing I've seen so far I had any problem with was the speed of the picking. It's hard to track economy of motion
You are not ready for knowledge.
Why go major 2nd, perfect 5th etc in different shapes?
Dude, you are very knowledgeable, but the approach you made using up stroke then down and up on next string boggles my mind. What about economy picking moving in the direction of accension or decenssion. Wouldn't economy picking be a better setup for 2 note per string scales and arps.
I just sold all my guitars and bought a kazoo.
well i started pausing at the first scale. That's my sign to start smoking cigarettes!
how the fck did he in lvl 5 name instantly the shape(7 fret) when im have to count step by step to regcognize the shape , im confused rn
