This concept has helped so many of my students early on in lessons. They go from learning one scale shape to being able to play it over any key, major OR minor.

This is one of the most well explained lesson on major and minor pentatonic scales and when to use them
Yeah! I agree. All done in 6 mins
great video
did anyone else hear paradice city at 3:18
Yes! I knew that bit reminded me of something. Thanks!
Yep
Guitar is like a choose your own adventure novel. Each scale a different book. Turn the book around and it's the same scale but FEELS differently all because of where we started from, and end.
What an amazing instrument.
Mate you’re such a great teacher and person thanks so much for lessons and the way you deliver them
I always refer to it “Index finger on the root, blues scale, pinky on the root, country scale.”
What's up everyone Mike here from the art of guitar here
Great lesson, thanks. For those that like the Blues, the Mixolydian (Dominate) scale is well worth knowing, also. It works great over a - I7 - IV7 - V7, with it's minor 7th. Just shift the pattern's root from the I, to the IV, and then the V chords. It's also used in rock, country, jazz, funk, R&B, pop, you name it. To get an idea of the mode, listen to 'Sweet Home Alabama.'
Escape the Matrix man he was trying to keep things simple here Mixolydian is a mode of Major scale when you say modes you lose audience mate😅
wheres the any key
The scale pattern can have its root on any fret of the E string
Fireball cinnamon whiskey! 🔥🥃 good stuff 😋 love the vids! Really helping me as a beginner guitar player! ❤
I just can’t come up with my own licks for a solo
I've been doing this in one solo of a song I regularly play with my band, without knowing why it sounds ok. Mind. Blown. Thank you so much, I'm gonna start using it a lot more now that I understand it better!!
I can't believe other guitar channels and websites miss out on this extra resource for the pentantonic scale, and it really sounds country-esque to me. Would you say a lot of country songs use major pentatonic as its base?
matangabrother they do
matangabrother Very much so.
matangabrother man checkout Bred papas channel he talks hours about major/minor interchange and on adding chord tones
Southern Rock
Just Play The Pentatonic And Add Wah, That Would Work Too.
Just say play the minor pentatonic of the 6th degree of the major scale - Em pentatonic over G major, for example. Keep tonal center on the G, B and D. Add the other G major scale notes and you're in Aeolian mode, like the long jam of 'Blue Sky' and other Allman Brothers songs
I'd like to see a video on the particular phrasing you use in this video. I'm in a total phrasing rut.
Basically, to make a minor into a major, play 3 frets back.
12th fret box = E minor pentatonic
9th fret box = E major pentatonic which is also C# minor pentatonic.
Well done.
Mind blown. Never realized just shifting the same minor pentatonic pattern down could sound major.
If your your soloing in many keys how do you know what backing track to play?? Feeling frustrated
Awesome lesson. The graphic on the screen really helps! Smart.
You deserve 500k subscribers. Your awesome
He's the second guy on line I found giving that exact lesson. Must be something to it.
Question for you: Can you use ANY of the 5 pentatonic shapes with ANY key?
Great lesson! You explained it really well. Just subscribed. Thanks!
i can do the scale but the legato is my achilles heel i can do bends and vibrato but there a time and place for that hammer on pull off fast is just my weakness
Had to watch this video 2 times cuz it's filled with so much info. Thank you
WOW....I'm really a late starter here on learning lead soloing (57 yrs old :(......always played rhythm, but I have been watching many videos and this one just opened up a new world of understanding, even though it may seem simple. Thank you sooooo much for this. Your time is very appreciated!!!
That's awesome to know I'm not the only late starter too. Been chillin on rhythm for 20 years and thought, you know what, that sounds fun.
shhitttt, why always minor pentatonic!!! ushhh!!
This thing is about relative minor major thing i guess . e major notes are same with c#minor. C # minor pentatonic shape will be e major
Not quite .......... its about playing a major or minor scale over the same key, he's not going to the relative minor
Yes, that's exactly what it is.
So I can use minor scales in major chords and major in minor?
Yooo I've been thinking about the "My Girl" thing for quite a while now before watching this XD This opened my eyes a lot about the notes I can use in a key!
Great lesson and breakdown! Thanks! Seems like the key to success is knowing the fretboard and locating those root notes in each form. ✌🏻🎸
Craig Fussell resolvimg on root note is not essential for pentatonic scale it always soynds awesome thats a magic of the scale try major scale in any key you will see if you dont resolve on root note it sounds nasty-just my observation!🤔
The-Art-of-Guitar, what is the silver-colored bar on your first fret near the headstock? Is this something that lowers the strings to make it easier to play in C and F? If so I've been looking for something like that.
Excellent teaching..
Great lesson for today
Great lesson man..ive been playing for 25+ years and I still use whats in this video, it's good stuff!😁
Being intermediate, i was hoping for more. Idk maybe how to blend both in a single lick without too much contrast in sound. Seemlessly and melodicaly. Which notes sound better together while transiioning. Eg. E, g g# b sound good as a run. Hope it makes sense.
Thank you ❤
Thank you for the video! How do you know when to switch between minor and major scales, or when to switch so it sounds right?
Listen to Dickey Betts tearing it up on any Allman Brothers record, and you'll get a great lesson in how to use the major pentatonic scale!
Great lesson Mike i remember my struggle over minor Major i was really confused-i wish could run into this lesson one year ago!Just a small note that if you use minor scale over major prpgression then you also wanna inject major 3ds but if you would talk about it your message would not be so clear!🤔Btw your improv is very nice bery unique bends i would love to see your blues improv over 12 bar blue or some funky progression!👌
Smirking to myself. Yes I can play the scale, but soloing is a different story :)
Very good.explanation to make use of.major
and minor pentatonic.scales
Very good channel and thanks. Subscribed. I wish you well
It goes without saying, but this concept can be applied to any of the major/minor scale shapes
Can you please do a 7 levels of wonderwall in the future? I’m a drummer not a guitarist but seeing that would be funny as hell
I didn’t know John Cusack did guitar lessons...
Clear, concise and great demo's with the backing track ..... nice work Mike
Excellent presentation for young guitar players... and a great reminder for older ones, too!
This video was really helpful....Thanks a lot Mike!
Sounds like "My Girl " ? To me it sounded like "Chucky's in love ".
One of my favorite guitar channels definitely subbed
Mike, will this trick work for all positions of the minor pentatonic boxes?
This was literally one of the most helpful videos I have ever exposed my brain too
Sounds more like the Alman bros. effect.
I think of them as ac/dc & Allman Brothers.
Is there a modern way to efficiently learn lead guitar from scratch ?....maybe with some software ? I would love to create simple solos or licks for any of my favorite songs. And I dont want to be limited by this major/minor pentatonic stuff. Maybe the key is dorian or aeolian ? And you want to use bends / slides that cannot be confined in these typical boxes. How to use double-stops - they are so important to spice things up.
Maybe it would be good to turn things around. Take a nice / famous solo that already exists and map it back to a fret pattern and explain which key it is in and what features of the key it uses - showing it all in a tabulator.
It is kind of frustrating....
you just need theory for now unfortunately :(

*thank you*
Good info / tip to start remember notes/scale on fretboard.
MIKE I know and play several scales every day the ones that you showed and many more. My problem is when I try to improvise blues I can't play the right notes together and bends and pull off and hammer ons to sound good. I keep being told that If I know say a lot of the blues scales that I should be able to improvise but I get stuck in the box. I end up just playing the scales like robot does it come in time knowing what sounds good and what blues scales that I can jump in and out of or is it music theory. I play all these scales every day and I am frustrated so I am learning about triads. I put in a lot of practice in at least on and off 2 to 3hours a day most days hooked to the amp and some days just playing while watching TV so that I can play with out looking at my fretting hand but I am not getting anywhere. So I went back to my instructor and I am learning other peoples songs. I want to improvise do you have any tips. I can't afford your lessons because I already pay $90 a month on lessons. My guitar teacher is a very well known guitar player and all the slide stuff in Nashville. If any one has any tips I thank you in advance. Great lesson
I'll have a few tips in upcoming lessons.
Hi Mike ~ is this the logic behind it? F#minor is the relative key of A Major so technically you're playing an F#minor pentatonic scale?
True it is the relative minor but it depends what chord you're playing over. If it's an A major then I see it as that, if it's an F# minor chord then I see it as that. Helps you play the chord tones better if you do that. :)
You just blew my mind!
Let me guess, pentatonic minor?
Niiiiice
Very great video!! Helped me a looooooot
Your shirt gave me a hangover.
Great lesson! Many thanks.
This helped so much. Thanks!
To use this trick do I need to have the rhythm guitar using 7th chords?
No it doesn’t have to be 7th chords.
Hold up your boombox. lol
Solid lesson!
Brilliant video dude!
"Here's a scale shape"
*plays advanced solos*
I kinda feel like I wasted time watching this video because you did not show us how to apply the scale at all.
don't mind what exactly he's playing. just focus on where (particularly the low e string) on the neck he is playing corresponding to the key of the backing track.
Very cool
That shirt THO
Well delivered, well done!
Good video !
Cool lesson
You are the best!
Hey bud
How did I know the scale was the minor pentatonic?
Rev Wolf the root note dictates that
The shape is exactly the same exact for minor start playing it from the first note (where your first finger lays) if you wanna play major pentatonic start playing the shape from the 2nd note (where your pinky lays)
Hi
Dig the shirt man !!! Fireball is great whiskey
Avery Tyler Honestly have never tried it. That will have to change. :)
The-Art-of-Guitar best cinnamon flavored whiskey in the world btw your videos help me out a whole bunch with my learning keep up the awesome work !!! \m/
Avery Tyler My brother. I drink Fireball. Pretty much exclusively.
I drink it because it’s lighter on the wallet while being effective, relatively speaking.
But under no circumstances would I ever claim it’s a great whiskey. Saying that would be like saying McDonald’s has great burgers.
Alas, McDonald’s burgers are cheap, and serve a specific purpose. Just like fireball.
You may be on the younger side, if so, I understand. No animosity here.
I’m just saying. There’s nothing great about it if you’re actually looking for great whiskey
