      I know this comment is old but when he went back down in the major, it didn’t look like the major pent that in used to. I though for major pent you shift down the fret board, placing your pinky on the root note, then play the same patter to give you the minor pentatonic of that root note..

    • @weggiemiller41
      @weggiemiller41 Год назад +1

      @@RussC123 I think the pentatonic major scale you’re referring to is the relative major (so, if you were screwing around with the E minor pentatonic, and then shifted up to the relative major you would be in G major.
      I think what the guy in the video is doing is going back and forth between parallel majors and minors. So, in E, playing the E minor scale AND the E major scale.
      Hope that helps, my dude.

    A truly marvelous lesson. I honestly expected to be bored to tears at the revelation of 'its major versus minor pentatonics', but the way you delved into that really made great sense, particularly overlaying of major and minor in the same position rather than thinking of the relative majos and minors. Yes more challenging but so much better for mixing the two flavors and mastering the fretboard. Kudos. Aloha.

    I’ve also noticed that you can get a similar effect by playing in the Dorian mode and occasionally bending up to the major 3rd.
    Dorian + major 3rd has the notes of the major and minor pentatonic added together.

  • @Jedlmind
    @Jedlmind 4 года назад +3

    hmmm... I disagree with his simplification of the difference. Good blues players use major notes (major pentatonic) over the 1 chord in a major blues.. The difference between blues and country are in what they are aiming to do. Blues aims to sound like a crying mother (sometimes a manic one) which is why blues pulls at our soul. Country licks aim to sound cool, using out of the ordinary double stops and bends that deviate from vocal aspect of blues.... You are welcome.

      Here’s the trick: if you’re playing in minor and wanna switch to major play the next position over the same position.
      To switch from major to minor you do the opposite.
      Let’s say I’m playing pattern 1 in Am, (starting at the 5th fret low E) if I wanna switch to major I’ll be playing pattern 2 of the Am scale but in the same position. Now you’re in major.
      If you’re instead playing the first pattern of the major A pentatonic scale and want to switch to minor play the 5th pattern in the same position you’re at.
      From minor to major: move one pattern up but remain in the same position.

    What a great example mixing major and minor as an oreo. I’m staying with first position of each so I don’t confuse myself too terribly. Good video thanks

    A few queries:
    I’m a bassist and a pianist and have been playing since I was 9 and 4 respectively (I’m 26), but I recently got into guitar. I bought myself a Gibson L-50 when I decided to get into the instrument at the end of last year and three days ago, as a birthday gift, my parents gave me a D-28, made 1981. I’ve been trying to cultivate a country sound, but it does sound extremely bluesy and when I lean more heavily into major with faster picking patterns it sounds like bluegrass, not country. Your advice is very electric specific, what advice would you give on this issue regarding acoustic guitars, both flat and arch topped?
    Also, this is all very lead-solo oriented. Do you have any advice for getting a country rhythm sound, using more complex harmony, it seems that once I start doing anything more “advanced” than basic triadic harmony (maybe a sus4 on the I) in root position or using chord progressions that are more interesting than basic variations on the I-V-vi-IV (like replacing the vi with bVII) or a I-vi-IV-V it loses it’s country character, even basic substitutions like bII7 for V or the use of dominant 7th chords in general completely de-countrifies the music. I want to make interesting music so I’m wondering whether anyone here has any advice about retaining harmonic complexity within the country music idiom?

    In country style, the composition could be something like this:
    "Twelve hours
    Four years straight....
    That 's how i made my way
    Now I'm a cosmic country boy
    It seems four hands on my guitar
    But its only me
    Passing through all the styles
    Its only me
    shacking the neck guitar
    Yes, ' i am the Donato Star"

    I think country has a lot more of the basic major scale than major pentatonic. Only the crazy Brad Paisley solos are major pentatonic based.

    I’m going to be spending a few days learning this. Well actually a few months.
    How about the style of Robin Ford. What does he do with the pentatonic to make it sound a little like jazz?

    Dude I watched this video when it came it when I was in college and I had no clue what the hell was going on with the major minor positions up and down the neck but I really get it now. Late to the party but damn, also being able to slow down videos now is really helping a lot. Damn be sure to keep a fire extinguisher near by in case the rosewood goes up in flames.
