    Fantastic ¡ the minor/major example at 14:34 blew my mind

    My favorite part was that bonus lick at the end consisting of a repeated 2+3 shape (2 notes on the lower string + 3 notes in the string above) often called the “frying pan” that contains all 5 notes of the pentatonic scale. The stack of frying pans is sometimes called a pentatonic (super-)highway, and it’s a fantastic way to move across the pentatonic boxes and up the fretboard. Because it’s made of three identical stacked frying pans, it’s easy to learn and play fast. I believe that the frying pan is an easier shape to learn the pentatonic than starting with the first box.
    Your melodic application was pure gold! Thank you.

    To me it is easier to remember 5 patterns of A minor Pentatonic scale by designating number One starting on 2nd thread, number Two starting on fifth, number Three starting on 8th, number Four starting on 10th, and number Five starting on 12th. From there I can figure out all other Pentatonic scales. 🙂

    Great video! One thing I would like to point out...the diagram for the diagonal lick you play at the end incorrectly labels the 6th string 8th fret note as A when that note is actually C...

    Rob, Great video! Thank you. Love your style. Great content, and offered in a concise and effective manor. You teach more in five minutes than most teach in 20! Others ramble on with filler, and it makes it harder to tie things together. Grateful that I found your channel.

    your channel is very good, I hope you continue to approach theoretical concepts applied to the guitar ... it would be good if you guide us more about the CAGED system and the arpeggios that can be superimposed on the major and / or minor triads ... for example, Amaj7 you can play the arpeggio of C # m7, and you can even play F # m7 or Emaj7, on top of the Amaj7 .... thanks!

    • @QJamTracks
      @QJamTracks  5 лет назад

      Hi There Esteban. I have the CAGED system in my que so it will be here. You're right about the arpeggios. I will do a video about that too! Thanks for the comment 👍

    @Mesatallic 3 года назад +1

    Great lesson. I’m an intermediate player, but for beginners you could use a guitar with less complicated fret markers, maybe play a guitar without the Vai floral pattern. Just a bit of constructive criticism.

    • @QJamTracks
      @QJamTracks  3 года назад +1

      Absolutely true. I will keep that in mind for future tutorials.

  • @Elvis-dw7ux
    @Elvis-dw7ux 3 года назад

    Hi Rob, my final comment....excellent videos and effects etc....saw quite a few at random...in my opinion after hearing to most of them....on my Tablet and Desktop....your guitar sound would should be brought forward and reduce the guitar effects...maybe I am wrong...listen or rather watch Active Melody etc. websites. By the way the guitar sound in this lesson is much better and clearer compared to your other videos!

    • @QJamTracks
      @QJamTracks  3 года назад

      Hi Elvis. The guitar sound in this video is not great. True :) This is quite an old video and I record different these days. I like to think the sound in the new videos is much better :)

    Hey, should I learn the CAGE before Pentatonic scale?

    • @QJamTracks
      @QJamTracks  3 года назад +2

      Hi Andres. Both ways have advantages and disadvantages. I teach my students the pentatonic scale before the diatonic scale for practical reasons. I don't use the CAGED system at all.

    In the blues and rock traditions, this scale originates from Africa, not Asia. It can still be heard in the music of West Africa today. Was it enslaved folks from Asia working the fields in the Mississippi delta?

    • @QJamTracks

      Penta comes from the Greek word "pent", which meand "five". Pythagoras (570-495 BC) was one of the first that made a scientific systematic study to tones that seem to occur naturally in the world. After that the Pentatonic scales were developed independently by many ancient civilizations, especially in China and India where it it is still the most important scale structure. It may have spread all over the world including Africa and was furhter developped in its own cultural way.
      Remarkable fact: There was a flute found in 2008 by archaeologists in Germany that dates to 30,000 years ago with 5 holes, tuned to the major pentatonic scale. It is the oldest known instrument ever found.
