I use the Pentatonic Plus scale. The pentatonic, plus whatever else sounds good to me….lol
Facts😂
This is the way.
So real 😂
Once I learned the difference of major / minor pentatonic , chords of a key , CAGED and that the major pentatonic positions literally fit around all those diff shapes , it was a game changer to start playing more melodically and not just playing single notes. Makes u sound like u know what ur doing 😂 love this stuff
How do I go about learning all this stuff I’m struggling. I want to play like John Mayer but I’ve hit a brick wall.
After I finally let myself understand "There are no wrong notes you just gotta use the right perspective." It changed my world in and out of music. As above, So below. Thank you Rhett!
As someone who is in that weird beginner-intermediate no mans land, this was a great video to learn a wider perspective of what's happening within the songs we love to listen to. thank you!
I spent a fucking eternity there, it is SO HARD to move onto more advanced playing.
I finally reached next level by:
a) choosing a particular style and researching its key scales and intervals
b) brute forced at least 2 greek modes into my brain and forced myself to use them
c) started trying to identify scales that build common solos from songs that I could learn by myself.
And a TON of improvising over backing tracks
Good to see the educational content - the mix of teaching and demonstration is great.
Rhett is pretty good at this stuff, even if his slide tone can't hold a candle to Josh Scott's.
It’s crazy how versatile pentatonics are. They really are the perfect jumping off point for guitar as an instrument.
The thing I always found quite funny about theory was you start with minor pentatonic with 5 notes you can use, then say b5 for blues, then Maj 3 for a mixolydian sound, perhaps the 2 & 6 for natural minor, then harmonic and melodic, Phrygian and Dorian flavours then before you know if you've justified all 12 notes as passing tones 😂👍
Then you come full circle and start thinking in intervals and targeting chord tones using triads and inversions and stop thinking in scales anyway. 😂
according to victor wooten, you need to know only one scale - chromatic!
Wish I'd had this lesson right after I learned all the minor shapes. It took me quite a while to figure out I could play the relative minor for the major and that was only after I learned the circle of 5ths. This lesson would have saved me many hours of thought. That being said, all those hours were needed anyway. Great lesson!!!!
This is one of the best, to the point instruction I have seen. So many great songs played on this exact blueprint. Thanks man
Brilliant tutorial, Rhett. And so many great licks too! Thanks. Will definitely check out the course.
Thanks for summarizing the old pentatonic theme so compactly again. But, the most important thing is the rhythm, the groove, the feeling when and where a note is played.
Tried this. Really love when learning something new just clicks and is explained simply and changes your sound and how you play almost immediately. Thanks for this one man.
Thanks for this Rhett; I started playing again during the pandemic after a ~20 year hiatus, and figured out a lot of this myself, but it's good to go more in-depth with you, and you lay it out cleanly and concisely.
This was a very good lesson. Explained exceptionally well and the follow along was great. Thank you and keep this style lesson coming regularly. I need it.
Definitely an essential lesson. I rember years ago playing around with the minor pentatonic shapes and adding different notes to it.
What a beautiful primer lesson. I’ve been learning tons from you over the past few years and now I’ve reached that place of my own mastery where I’ve begun to turn around and teach other people. That space of trying to illuminate the basics, such that they can transition you from the terra incognita of the early fretboard into a traveler across a well worn map of grooves that are the frets of that old friend, the knotty guitar neck. Your pedagogy is sound. Thanks for always being an inspiration.
I really do dig your approach to all this. Usually my head is swimming with the theory talk but you manage to keep it on the ground floor thankyou
Rhett, I knew this when I played piano years and years ago, but this just blew my mind with the relative major and minor scales on guitar and how they are the same. Thanks for all the educational work you do, keep it up! Also enjoying your slide guitar course atm.
Nice fresh ink! And, this was one juicy lesson! I really like this format. There is always so much to digest, this was a nice balance. This video is worth watching more than once!
Holy shit that was one of the best guitar lesson ever! Please do that to all the modes (phrygian, mixolydian,…) and how we can use and connect them with the minor and major pentatonic shapes please!
Thank you for making a video about this!
Great Video Rhett. It's really interesting how simple notes can add a little spice to your solos and catch the attention of the audience. You just need to know how to use and practice to make it natural while you're playing.
Great content man.
Awesome lesson thanks Rhett. When I started playing there were two songs that made me notice something that sounded “different” which of course turned out to be that they were playing major, not minor, pentatonic. The first was call me the breeze by lynyrd skynyrd. Other was live version of sweet home Alabama (from the live at the fox album), with its solos in many different positions. Loved learning those songs.
Thanks Rhett. That was a great ear opening lesson.
Oh man, this started right on my level and went so much beyond... gonna have to watch and play along a couple of times. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the great work!
Keep it up! It's actually really simple. Just make sure you have fun playing and also learn songs. Or at least licks, rhythm and solo in combination.
Really love what you are doing here ,man. I have played guitar for a long long time now. Never really played this kind of music before. But watching You play and seeing how really beautiful and melodic you play , I'm in to give this a spin. Thanks again.
Hey Rhett this was an awesome lesson you gave. Now if I could remember it all. Love the material and appreciate the knowledge. Already do some of this but really didn’t know what I was actually doing other than playing by ear
my hack approach has always been that if it's a rock-n-roll song I play the pentatonic shapes starting from the root, but if the song's a ballad, I play it off the relative minor. Learning how to play each chord in at least a few different places on the neck starts to really make it all make sense as well.
Dude that bridge pickup sounds so good. I have the hardest time getting that not-so-pokey but still aggressive sound out of that pickup
If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend experimenting with your tone knob. I usually have it on 7 or 8 if I'm using the bridge pickup, maybe even lower if I'm playing a single coil pickup like a Strat or Tele.
This actually made me understand how the CAGED box shapes work together. Missed that in all the CAGED instructions I've seen over the last couple years.
Great explanation of all this. Great job Rhett !
Great lesson, Rhett!
Love your work Rhett. Always learn something new and interesting, even if I have to watch your videos over and over because I get sidetracked and start jamming after the first two tricks I learn.😆
That lesson was an absolute pleasure to watch and listen to. Thank you very much. I'm off to pick up my guitar...👍
Such a great video. Thanks so much, Rhett!
Always a pleasure Rhett! Like me and my dad said back when you were in Utrecht with Roofman, you really inspire :)
Great practical explanation with examples. Very nice.
Impressed younare so wise beyond your years jedi the force is strong in knowledge and content enrichment of my soul Brother.
Great Lesson! Really learned and enjoyed it!
Now this is why I love this channel, I had no clue about relative major and minor scales that is so cool
Thanks for the lesson and the PDF.
Finally someone who teaches fretboard theory. You have no idea how long I’ve been looking for a concise video that teaches this exact relative major and minor thing. Thanks so much, Rhett.
Nothing that hasn't been taught before. People need to be more auto didactic.
What do you mean "finally"? This has been taught many times before by many different people in many different ways.
@@matejfele9971Yup. This lesson'is probably on like 90% of all guitar-based yt channel in existence.
One of your best videos in a while, this will help Josh with his tone, SICK BURN
Thank you for the informative content, my friend.
Great video Rhett (as always) - IMO, the most valuable 16 minutes for a beginning player.
Great lesson. Nothing like the sound of a Strat = so vocal & expressive.
That’s not a Strat tho, is it? I mean, the design is 100% Strat, but what’s the brand on the headstock? I can’t really read it.
@@jpetes9046 It's a stratocaster mate. Stratocaster is a guitar design/model made by leo fender. Anyone can produce strat style guitar with a few modification and alterations or maybe exact copy at all on the design. The guitar on the vid was a Shabat(guitar brand) Stratocaster.
Great lesson and great tone. Thanks
thx. it's nice to have such systematic refresh...
Great Video Rhett, Thanks
One of your best videos, Rhett!
I wasn't sure if I was going to learn anything by watching this, but I stayed for Rhett's tasty blues riffing. Great tones, man.
Really useful tips here. Thanks for this!
Great lesson, Rhett.
very nice - thank you, Rhett!
Very good video, this format is winner, for me. Thanks, Rhett !
By the way, love the ink !
Nice! Well explained, thanks!
The Pentatonic trick every pros use yeah !! Liked Minor fifth , root fifth and third fifth every notes that's had people's played Am , B7 , C add9 and also G/B .
I think the pentatonic works so well because our human brains like the simplicity and home base feeling it gives. However, all the flavors and colors added are what make up the complex variations that keep the music interesting.
This might be the most consequential lesson a guitar player could receive. There is nothing more applicable than what is taught here.
Excellent video. Well explained.
Great lesson, Love ur tone too mate, sounds great 🤩
Excellent video Rhett.
Great video.. very helpful, thanks.
Thanks Rhett !!! Great stuff here
Solid gold lesson. Just noticed the new ink too, looks rad!
Tough stickers
Nicely done, sir!
Thanks Rhett great video might check out your course thanks again Brian Ireland 🇮🇪🎸🎸
Pentatonic was one of the first things I was shown on the guitar :) I didn't even know what it was for a few years...
There is an easy way to explain in general the move from major to relative minor: Every time you want to move to the relative minor, just go to the minor 6th chord of your key.
Learning your diatonic chords and knowing the I-ii-iii-IV-V-vi-vii° is important. And focusing on the number if the notes in scales rather than the letters makes it much easier to apply in every scale. Your major 3rd can be any note, so the easiest way is to remember just where the major 3rd is in relation to the root. That's how Tom Quayle does it, it's a really good tip.
Best explanation of these scales on TH-cam!
Great episode. Thanks.
This may be the best explanation of this ive ever seen. Definitely gonna have to buy a couple lessons now. 👍👍
Good stuff Rhett
When I first learned this it honestly opened up so many more ideas, which is wild because it's all the same notes
nice work Rhett
Thanks ,great explanation
Thank for being so informative. 🤩🎸🎸🎸
Great vid Rhett!
Relative Minor!! I finally know the name for this! I'm self taught and severely lack music theory knowledge, and I've asked friends before if they know why some progressions lend themselves to this "secret other solo box that's 4 frets away and still works, but with a totally different vibe" and I never got this answer. Now I have a name to a face. Thanks!
Wuauu Amazing Class!! thank you for sharing, Gracias Cristian T.
Great video!
Thanks a lot Rhett. That was amazing. Yepp, I do know a lot of this stuff already, but you brought it into a different kind of context. And you are a briliant teacher.
thank you! this video just unlocked some guitar juju for me
Rhett, it would be great to get some info about your signal chain each vid. The tone you are getting out of a Strat bridge pickup is amazing.
There is a simple way for people learning to transition the neck. If your comfortable with the minor pentatonic scale and regular major shape your root of the scale fret 1 + fret 2 are your relative positions. Example Am pentatonic your first two notes are A and C Am relive to C major.
Then you can develop some licks and riffs to help you transition from that area further up or down as needed.
Thank you Rhett 🤘
good stuff Rhett
Great video! Clearly explained & demonstrated. Nice job Rhett!!
Rhett, don't want to take away from this AMAZING content, but when are you gonna let us in on this new tattoo? We're here for the content + YOU. Thanks for creating and cultivating this community!
Great video, very digestible. I've been doing my best to become more than a strum-along guitar player lately, and I've found it funny that you can buy big books of chords and scales and learn all the notes up and down the fretboard... but playing most pop music, from the origins of rock and roll to current, is pentatonic scales and passing notes.
Thank you for the content, and understandable view, still ahead of my knowledge but, inspires me to learn more, nice tattoo. Cheers.
Great video man!
Clear lesson!
Hi Rhett, awesome video! Great lesson, excellent job! 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻 I really appreciate you breaking these details down and making them so simple and easy to understand / apply. This for me was pretty much everything I’ve ever wanted to know about playing lead or soloing, it was very helpful.
Quick question - By using all the different extra tones or different scale degrees, flats, sharps, etc., do you in effect end up playing the different Modes of the major scale? I imagine so, because the modes are basically just different from each other by just one small change either flat / sharp in each successive mode, right? Hopefully I’m making the right musical connections in my understanding 😆😆 Thanks again! 🙏🏻
Also side note, I love your playing style on your leads / solos when you’re playing in a band setting 👍🏻👍🏻🎸🎸
Thanks - great lesson
FANTASTIC!
now I feel really dumb - in Little Wing (sticking to a theme) I thought about those licks as extensions of the chords, not scales. Scales make way more sense, are easier to grasp, and as a bonus, easier to use elsewhere. Thanks for turning on that light bulb!
Nice job very clear
Not to further complicate things - but a major thing of note here. All of the pentatonics are derived of major scales.
When Rhett talks about adding the 2 and 6 to a minor pentatonic scale - you’ve built a Dorian diatonic mode of the major scale. By adding other notes to minor pentatonics - you can build the other two minor modes - Phrygian and Aeolian. Building up from the pentatonics is a great way to learn modes.
Spoiler, the modes are just the major scale shapes - mode depends on the chord progression that’s being played.
Nice lesson. Awsome guitar too. Shabbat guitars rock. Keep it up. 👍
