DUDE!!!! Your work here has pulled 3 major points together, 1, major & minor. 2.related scales. 3. Positions of the neck!!! I have seen so many of these dots on the neck and they always looked like all the spots on the neck so finding the missing gaps was easier to identify them but did nothing to help understand WTF I was trying to accomplish. Thank you so much for your efforts and sharing them, you have done a great service to those who are to follow you !!!! You are AWESOME!!!!
OMG, the progress I have made in the past week by watching your videos is insane. This I’ve wanted to learn for so long but never really been able to approach in a good way. You’ve just taught me how to navigate throughout basically the whole fretboard in just under half an hour. So much appreciated, you’re awesome!
Hey Brian, You are the best music theory coach here on youtube. Better than the famous content farms out there that don't teach how to fish! My theory has improved DRASTICALLY since discovering you 2 weeks ago. However, I want to take my actual playing to the next level. Do you have any videos on how to structure practice sessions? to get faster at playing and improv cheers
Your videos continue to be some the most useful, understandable and helpful ones that I have found on my musical journey. Thank you Brian Sincerely, A random guy from the internet
You listed this video as how to "Solo within the Key" but you mean to play Lead dont you? Hopefully not sounding like a musical grammer nazi as I ask but just asking for clarification. Thank you Brian
Wooh quick response. Thank you again Man. I spent 2 years learning from a really great teacher and he touched base on so much music theory and other stuff that being new to picking up any musical instrument (at the time) that some of the infomation was just overwhelming and I have bits of this and bits of that but I really gotta tell you that your really good at giving information and you really helped me with filling in compartments of information I havent been able to hone into. You are the man and I appreciate it
ur guitar lessons are so good, iv noticed that u put alot of effort into ur videos and u explain everything really good thanks. and I love the fact that guitar has a advantage over other instruments since it has a movable nature. and basically I could turn any major scale into minor, just by starting on a different tonic note. and I know that E minor and G major scale use the same notes so, if I wanted minor I would focus more on the E and for major the G
Sensei this has been one of your best it's not hard to remember these scales with the approach you take and I managed to remember all 5 patterns and how to blend them together in less than a week of practice, next I'll be checking your CHORD TONE SCALES!
Excellent lesson...your method of explanation is easy to follow and its all starting to make sense now...keep up the good work. ..your diagrams and fretboard configuration is the best to follow and understand. ..keep up the good work. .
Hey Brian! Thanks a lot for this video! Is there a way to practice and master these five patterns? Would you have a video about it or should I just play around up and down with each one?
Try this video instead. It's much newer and has much better production quality: ruclips.net/video/0kpiPG5AlqM/видео.html As far as practice goes...put on a backing track, and practice jamming in one "box" at a time!
I think they are CAGED system scale shape. I wanna ask you among the 5 patterns you mentioned above which pattern is corresponding to which chord shape in CAGED.
Min Thu Ko hey check this lesson out. I think this is what you are looking for: www.zombieguitar.com/chord-tone-soloing-series-part-6-all-5-caged-shapes-and-their-respective-pentatonic-positions/
Is it ok if I learn this first before learning minor pentatonic scale or should I learn minor pentatonic scale first? And is the diatonic scale the same as the major scale?
I actually learned the diatonic scale patterns before learning the 5 pentatonic positions. But I don't think that it really matters which order that you learn them in.
Brian, To clear something up for myself the Full Diatonic Scale (All the notes in the major or relative minor in the key) that you are showing here is not the same as the different modes (etc, Dorian, Aeolian,Mixolydian) right ...or is it? Thank you ahead of time :)
Kenneth Densmore all 7 modes share the exact same patterns. Check out this lesson here...it’s kind of a long one, but if you watch the whole thing you will have a much better understanding: www.zombieguitar.com/introduction-to-modes/
Brian Kelly I actually watched it and sat down with a Notebook and took some extensive notes along while watching your video. I bought a book a while back ago called the Guitar Grimore and this one in the series of them is called “The Exercise Book” Without going crazy and making this a long winded comment the book covers 2 half’s.... the Major Scale (in various keys) and the Pentatonic Scale (In various keys) After several months of practicing this I went back to taking lessons with a different outfit (I moved so didn’t have access to my original teacher whom was epic) I showed to him and I believe he may have confused the crap out of me and explained the book was outlining the different modes and not the Major Scale. I wish I could post a picture for clarification but that was why I asked. That teacher did however explain that use of the modes has to do with dissonance (I believe I am using the right term) away from the key that is being played in. As you said Mode 1 Ionian is Major Scale. He explained as you progress further down through the modes you are playing the Major Scale but in different keys. Same principal as playing a single note away and then continuing but continuing to play the Scale after that note. (Sometimes my head feels like it’s too full of stuff haha) Anyway I’m gonna donate and grab your PDF off your website and show my appreciation for all the information you have really helped me with so far. Hope you have an epic rest of your week man and thank you very much, Ken the Random guy from the Internet
Hey bud, I just saw that you purchased my eBook. I really appreciate that! Regarding the modes though....I do have other lessons here on this page: www.zombieguitar.com/modes/ That may help to further clarify things for you. It sounds like you ALMOST understand, but still not quite. Modes are a weird thing that take a little bit to "click" for people, but check out some of the other lessons on that page, and I think you should be good. Just let me know if you have anymore questions. Thanks again for the support!
No, that's not a rule. You can use any fingers that you'd like. The main point is just to show you that both the major scale and the minor scale share the same "patterns". The only difference is that the tonic note falls within the patterns.
You DEFINITELY need to check out this lesson here. What you are asking is the classic misunderstanding about modes 😎www.zombieguitar.com/how-to-solo-across-the-fretboard-using-modes/

Min Thu Ko hey check this lesson out. I think this is what you are looking for: www.zombieguitar.com/chord-tone-soloing-series-part-6-all-5-caged-shapes-and-their-respective-pentatonic-positions/
If I was playing in c major, and played the am scale would it sound the same as the c scale?
The notes of the 2 scales are exactly the same. The difference in sound would depend on the underlying chord progression 😁
Is it ok if I learn this first before learning minor pentatonic scale or should I learn minor pentatonic scale first? And is the diatonic scale the same as the major scale?
I actually learned the diatonic scale patterns before learning the 5 pentatonic positions. But I don't think that it really matters which order that you learn them in.

Your very welcome man and thank you
For minor scale, tonic note must be press with index finger and for major, tonic note with pinkie. Is that the rule? Or it doesn't matter?
No, that's not a rule. You can use any fingers that you'd like. The main point is just to show you that both the major scale and the minor scale share the same "patterns". The only difference is that the tonic note falls within the patterns.
Are you using the term “pattern” in place of “modes”? Or is that a whole different concept? Thanks!
Yes "modes" are not just simply "patterns" on the fretboard. So yes, different concepts altogether.
Check this lesson out if you want clarification about the whole modes thing: www.zombieguitar.com/introduction-to-modes/
perfect
I'm confused, i guess if i use modes then it will be the same notes, doesn’t' it?

1bulldog998 no problem!
How can I apply this for soloing?
I mean like do I skip some notes ....
@@redsparks13 you could use any of the notes in any order.

Excellent lesson.good job Sir.👍
Back to the fret board, practice, practice, practice. Cool stuff thanks 🎸🍀👍
learn chord tones or scales by heart first?
its connected because the guitar is in one piece?? )
Excellent Brian. You really know your stuff. It doesn't come naturally to me, I guess I'll have to bust my ass.
