hi david great lesson! would love for you to do a lesson on adding different chords into a blues and alternatives to the 1 4 5 or even adding in more chords that are more complex and sophsticated thanks buddy!
That's great and I appriciate a few of those tips in the lesson. What about altered over the V CHORD? or Lydian dom over the V chord. E7 E lydian dom E altered. I just feel like that's a better way to use them.
Minor blues scale, not minor pentatonic. Major blues scale, not major pentatonic scale. In my opinion the major pentatonic scale will NOT sound bluesy unless you add the flat 3rd. Without the "blue" note, the scale will just sound country and very "major".
Yes. The diagram has an extra note added to the minor pentatonic. It's the b5 (flat 5th); aka "the blue note". This is commonly called "the blues scale". Use the b5 as a passing tone (don't sit on it) and enjoy.
When you add a sharp 4 to minor pentatonic, it’s called the minor blues scale. When you add a flat 3 to major pentatonic, it’s called the major blues scale.
Helpful lesson; thanks, David. But it looks like the video may have the scale name and fretboard diagram mismatched for the 1st scale. You say it was a minor pentatonic, but the diagram shows a 6-note scale, the minor blues scale. And it sounds like you're using the b5 sometimes in the improv. I just checked out the online material, and it has the minor blues scale as the first scale, properly named. Seems like something similar happened with the 2nd scale, too-the diagram shows the 6-note major blues scale, not the major pentatonic. Regarding mixolydian, you suggest using A mixolydian over both the I and the V. I think of E mixolydian as a good choice for the V (since it's the 5th mode with respect to the root, i.e., the I, so it's a good fit for the V7 chord). The A mixolydian was working fine over the V chord. Is there some theory behind that? -Tom
Hi David, thanks for all your great work and providing us with priceless lessons. Literally. I have learnt so much from you, it’s incredible. I have one video on my channel, that was my BEFORE , ... next video will be the after. 🤘🤘 practice practice practice . Think. Practice again....swim against the current....find your voice, become what you desire. Think it. Believe it , the mind and body will become it. ...
David, thank you so much for this and all of your videos. This one here, really sheds alot of light to me, and hopefully others, as to using these different scales in such a simple way, which really, really unlocks a whole new palet of sounds and "vibes" for me. Thank you so, so much my friend! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Man I hope you can make more videos of this were you can combine scales and modes in soloing over a backing track... And how to choose the right scales and modes... Kudos!...
David, I think the diminished, the whole tone and the lydian dominant scales must be used from the specific roots (1, 4 or 5), not the from the same root (here A) over all three chords. Am I wrong? Cheers and thanks, Hermann
2nd Comment!! The blues scale you feel most comfortable with, one that you can remember the easiest, one that you know many licks and phrases to play in. My 2 cents guys.
You know . .....if I see one more online guitar teacher .... after all these years ... say ... ""Let's Learn the A minor Blues/Pentatonic scale ....because it fits everything "" I'm actually going to buy a ticket ... get on a plane ... fly to that guy's house ... knock on his door, . go in ... get his guitar and snap the neck .... and say ""find another scale !!!! or at least another key,,,"" jeez.."" I will feel so much better
Went down the rabbit hole lookin for more on modes. Couldn't find nothing actually useful until I watched this. A little embarrassed after 5-6+ yrs of playing still don't know much about modal stuff but this helped quite a bit
this is by far the most interesting and educational video you have done yet !!! Thank You so much I'll be watching and playing this for a while. Great Job
Question: When you're playing the Dorian for example, you mention that it works on the 1st and 4th degree. When playing on the first, say in "A", you're playing "A" Dorian, when you switch to the 4th degree, are you playing "D" Dorian or do you stick with playing "A" Dorian?
Great lesson you revealed a Joe Satriani trademark Dominant lydian scale which is E melodic minor. Of all the scales no one teaches are the Soul scale, full, and major and minor and the major flat 5 which is the daddy of them all. Very nice lesson
@@rccarsandmusic2641 now that's confusing A min/maj 6th Aug7? Are you putting 2 chords together? Could be bebop melodic minor and 6th diminished put together? What set the intervals of the scale?

Did you study Robben Ford use of diminished? If so, please share.
What? The same A minor pentatonic pattern works on root note, forth and fifth degree?
Wasn't Pentatonic called that way because of the 5 notes in a scale? Yet I see 6 notes in yours... Where does this come from?

If I could play like that, I wouldn't have watched this vid! 😂
using that diminished version 1, try 5-8, 6-9, 7-10, 8-11, 10-13, 11-14 from Bottom E string/fret 5 up, key of A.
This is a really cool lesson. Thanks David. This is VERY helpful.
Fantastic and clear explanation ! Thanks a lot !
Lovely lesson! Diminished was such a mystery. This was perfect and to the point. Well done!!
Great lesson. I would just add the Aeolian mode (Full minor scale)

Here I am back again to watch this and study it. Thank you David for this great video! It is a gem!! Blessings!! :-)
Great lessons,you ve done well david,thank you for sharing this advance scale in blues secrets,do more videos.
Awesome, great lesson as always, man! Its much appreciated 😊 👍 🤟

Ermmmm. .. there's only one blues scale!
13:52 you’re making me feel high man

I will feel so much better
Glad I could be of service!
That whole tone scale just sound out of tune to me.
So where can I learn more about
1. 1V. V. ?
This make sense david. Keep it up.
That was a great lesson SK
man you are the coolest
I love the DORIAN mode. One day it turned out I've been using it all along without any clue.
Listen to some Santana to hear a Dorian master.

Your a trip brother
I'm a rock/metal player ..switched to playing blues....your a great player..
Very nice

Thank u David, very good approach of the scales 🇫🇷👍🏼🍒
Hi David , thank for always putting out great content. Greeting all the way from Belize.
Thank you for a great lesson which unlocked some mysteries!
Hi David, I will buy your lessons for sure! You can always get to the point that confused me for long time... Like a mind reader!
Great lesson thanks..variation or second diminished scale starts on the 4 or a flat..diagram still shows it on the 5th..?
what gauge strings are you using ?
Usually 9-42
Best lesson ever. Thanks so much. This is gold for me 🙏
This was a great help, THANKS your the best!1
man i love that diminished scale. and the lydian is something else.. defo gonna use these 2.
Merci pour ce super récapitulatif qui ouvre bien des portes.
Petite demande de tuto : mélange LEAD + accords ou triades sur une grille blues...
Fantastic stuff. Thank you, lots to learn.
Great blues playing !

Good question! I’m visualizing everything from A in this lesson!
Thanks for your kindness David..lots of time and hard work you put in.. Respect!
I love your guitar tone.. especially the VOLA. What's your delay setting?please! Very romantic tone.
Great lesson, thanks
Great lesson you revealed a Joe Satriani trademark Dominant lydian scale which is E melodic minor. Of all the scales no one teaches are the Soul scale, full, and major and minor and the major flat 5 which is the daddy of them all. Very nice lesson
Soul scale? Is there an intervalic name?

Hey David - nobody really solos on the last 3 strings. In fact it’s mostly the B & e string (1st & 2nd) that most Blues players stick to.
Great lesson indeed.
