Man. You don’t age. But anyways u helped me out to play. When I first got my guitar, I saw a vid for beginners than I got intreasred, then now been playing for 10 months now
Watched another video and he said something about playing for decades...I thought decades? Isn't this guy under 30? Well I guess he could have started at 10.
Man, if I had a nickel for every time the minor pentatonic scale got me out of an improvisational rut, I'd be a millionaire. It truly is the all-purpose, go-to scale for damn near every style of music.
I’m 71 and learning to play guitar and this site is one of my favorite.You show it plan and simple for people like me find it informative.Thank you Tom.
My original idea was to try and say the secret is that you can play one scale for many solos but I titled it wrong. After a while I got so many hateful comments that the rebel in me was just like, "not changing it!" ;)
Great lesson young man, enough to keep any improving player busy for a while, but see what you get for giving away something free!!! Forget the haters, love the music.
When I started playing, we didn't have scales with names, just played what sounded good, then along came all the modes, scales "building" chords and it really took the fun out of playing. Haven't taken a single lesson, been playing for over 50 years now I gotta "learn" all the theory behind what I've been doing already. That said, Damn good job man. Keep them coming.
Been playing for Many years and that was one of the most clear and useful lessons I have ever seen. The Only scale I know (and play) is the minor pentatonic and, as you demonstrated so well, for us non-schooled guitarists, it can be used in every style. Well done. Every budding lead guitarist should see this one video. AWESOME.
I am a self taught player....and this video changed my whole journey few years back.....this was the video that helped me grab momentum..... Thanks ya black belt guitarist..... Looking at it back now seems like yesterday✨
You’re honestly one of my favorite guitar channels to watch. I’ve been so stuck on how to use that scale in a more creative way and you just made that look so easy.
You are amazing.... With this I think I know most of the guitar... Shall practice it several days for months form now own... the ultimate divine lesson I have ever seen in TH-cam.... Keep inspiring...!
Wow what a great channel After many years of playing guitar and a physical injury I'm back to beginner again This is a great channel for basics and Solid foundations If I run in to anybody that wants to be a beginner and guitar I will definitely have to send them here 1st!
Why the hell would anyone dislike this video, you use the Minor Pentatonic Scale in A position and play different style music which I thought sounded great! Good job! I subbed you...
I was taught this in school as the Blues scale, only difference being that my lecturer used an extra note in the A string, the 4th fret in between the 3rd and 5th. I'd love to be able to turn this scale into different forms like you do in this vid, but I think knowing the scale doesn't really just let you play with it. Learning songs with these scales will help you get a better understanding than the basic outline of the scale and help you visualize the different shapes available if you ever run into the same scale again, much like how Love Gun by Kiss and Hold The Line by Toto's solos are on very common scales, Hold the Line being on this one, but using that extra note on the A, the shape roams a bit, but you get the gist of it.
I decided to go your first video to check it out. Very cool. I’m a 56 year old drummer but picked up the guitar about 5 years ago….I really need to get to the fundamentals again but I have no patience🤦🏽♂️😬. I actually go by feeling and have written a few songs myself but I watch videos like this and know that I need to find time to get back to the basics. Enjoyed the video! 🤘🏽
That's what I love about your teaching technique (The-Art-of-Guitar), you are one of the few online teachers that make sense. And I can fallow it. Your ability to demonstrate is admirable.
I have been practising the scale in the various styles you demonstrated so beautifully...and as I have so I have picked up other things along the way, which has helped improve my technique and my creativity, so "Thank You". :O)
I thought this was going to be yet another tedious video on the pentatonic minor scale but he actually focuses on how to use the scale - a refreshing change!
David Kovak op op ...grammar nazi .... dude who cares about English,I mean, u dont pretend u haven't understood what i said...and yea u defend yourself cuz u havent said I went in music school
First time anyone ever has shown me a scale. Thanks I’m a drummer that has a few guitars, if I had had the chance to see your teaching when I was a child I might have been a guitarist instead. I’m 62 now I’m going to keep learning 😁 Thank you!!
Six months in at55, I see this is much more than I anticipated, my problem is when I learn I want to know it all. And that is causing me to struggle. It's just me, still I understand completely the point your trying to get across. It's all what you want out of it. What you the player wants to hear and what he thinks people want to hear. I'm guessing however in order not to go nuts I have to look at it that way. When you get up there with snow on the roof things look different to time and accomplishment. Your a good music theory guy and player with loads of talent. Any fool could see that. The a pent scale I got down now it's how to apply it is the next level. Thanks you have a long great road in front of you. Jam on Young Man.
Great demonstration, absolutely on point. Start on basic, saves you time in future, but practice practice practice, listen to the notes they come out, compliment them with random rhythms and guitar techniques you will learn on the way, let fingers fly, allow your soul to play, Thank you for demo and encouragement!
Solid advice for anyone starting out on any instrument. Struggled many years only to learn you knew nothing, been going in the wrong direction. Well one thing when finally get it you do pick it up very quickly.
Forget Clapton is god, you Mike are my god. I love your lessons, I get so much outa them. I'll never play as good as you, maybe if I started when I was young but not now, but you have shown me new horizons to aim for and I thank you so much Mike
This is one of the best (probably the best) soloing I've ever heard using the pentatonic, and you only used one block of it, like what the hell. E: also the blues one reminds me a lot of I Can't Quit You Baby by Led Zeppelin haha.
epic man, epic. I've been playing guitar for 13 years but I never did focused training and I think I'll start with your couple pointers to reach my next level, you're a great teacher.
The thing is, all those solos used notes outside of the pentatonic - there were some major seconds, major thirds, major sixths, also a minor sixth (in the surf solo). But yeah, of course most of the notes were in the pentatonic scale.
raleighman3000 Not necessary. Accidentals are out of key notes. Pentatonic scale is not a key. So it depends on the key we are in. Many of the styles were actually in A major, but he was using the Am pentatonic. This is common and gives you that bluesy sound. But in that case the Am pentatonic scale itself has accidentals in it. The additional notes on the other hand (major 6th and 3rd in the bluesy sounding examples) were part of the key. Also, I would hardly call that jazz example pentatonic (it had a very strong dorian sound to it). Same with the surf example (sounded too much like regular minor, not minor pentatonic). Of course most notes you play will fit the pentatonic because it's 5 of the 7 notes of a diatonic scale. So usually at least 5 out of 7 times you'll be playing notes in the pentatonic scale, even if you are using the whole diatonic scale.
You clearly know what you're doing because I get both inspired and dejected about playing Been on and off for something like ten years now because I just can't get over 'the hump'; a video as great as this one (and others I've watched from this channel) get me picking it up again, but then it's like 'Im just never gonna reach THAT kind of fluency with this thing' I mean...this was IT, man...one scale solo'd over tracks from differing genres Shao Kahn says: Outstanding!
been watchin a lot of your videos lately, good stuff brother. the way you explain everything makes it super easy to understand. ive been playing for about 8 years, but i missed a lot of theory along the way. so watching your videos has helped me improved a lot.
Nicely demoed -- wish I had TH-cam back in the 60s -- would have saved me a lot of time. I liked the examples you gave and they should inspire students to get at it and learn those basics well! I'll recommend your video to those that need it.
me too, and as the once great frank zappa said, "JAZZ IS NOT DEAD, IT JUST SMELLS FUNNY", thanks frank, and i myself, every once in a while, like to play a little jazz chord riff, for about 3 minutes, just to exercise my fingers and think to myself, why would anyone like that kind of music, it has no real soul........
***** Let me see your brain work at full capacity after having to taken care of a kitten, and only getting like 4-6 hours of sleep in a 2 week span. lol
raleighman3000 Haven't had a kid, and I won't ever. Don't like them. And the kitten wasn't even mine. I was trying to take care of it for a friend, after its mother abandoned it. But the point is, I was already stressed out from other factors, and the kitten wasn't helping. I got less than an hour of sleep per night. There's no functioning going on with that.
Damn. You finally meet someone who opens the door and shows you the magic kingdom. I don't think I'll ever get there, but now I have a map. This was brilliant.
I just cut all my guitar strings, broke off the neck, smashed the body of my guitar, threw the pieces in a dumpster and lit them on fire! Dude, you are fun to listen to and you play each of the styles so well.
That was cool. But in all examples you used notes outside the "simple scale" and it is precisely does details that make all the difference and give the flavour...
thanx, man! along with some others, you've contributed to my improvement, and after 20 yrs of struggling for the breakthrough(i'm pretty good at rhythm while doing vox, but have always hit some wrong note when i try to bust out a solo) i think i'm on my way now! thanx again!
One of the better vids i've watched bud! Been playing for nearly 20 years in a few different styles at shows and love to see that people like you still exist in a world of "Lil Wayne's Truffle butter" (((*Music??)))... love it man! Keep doing you.. look forward to more!
Great demonstration using the scale in context! Inspiration is half the battle and I sometimes (unfairly) think I've mastered the Pentatonic and want to move on. Then, videos like this remind me of the endless possibilities of 5 simple notes. If I can make a suggestion: In your phrasing and licks, I noticed you used several mini chords. Perhaps you can do a follow-up on the ready-made chord shapes to use inside the scale.
Good video. However..... You should have said PENTATONIC scale is movable. So you can play that same fingering in different keys. I'm 50 years old. I've been playing music the majority of my life. Pentatonic has bailed me out too many times. Relative minors are cool to.
Metal uses more scales than other music harmonic minor, minor, pentatonic, Phrygian, Hungarian minor, Dorian, there's probably more people fluent in scales in metal than there are in other music. Do you have a clear definition of the genre metal? Give the artists Testament, Jeff Loomis, Black Sabbath, Pantera, Lamb of God, Nevermore, and Megadeth a listen and tell me they don't use scales.
Throughout all the modes and scales there are, the pentatonic positions are the most important and useful of all. There are so many possibilities you have with those five notes.
Hi your very young guy but really matured in guitar work like old man very experienced n I like your teachings coz it's clear ,I never seen anyone teaching like you .god bless you man.... with love another musician from this planet.see youTQ
Beautiful guitar angel, you are helping me grow in my musical journey. Thank you. You should have a channel based on your personal life style too I would definitely watch that. Need your immortality secrets.
best thing is to use a lot of reverb single coils are better for it but if you humbuckers have screws take out the screws and theyll sound like single coils also play as near to the bridge as you can i hope this helps
Thanks for uploading your video! Great man how you manage all these different styles! The guitar sound and the playing are always tasteful and authentic. Really good skills! I play myself since decades but I can learn that one or another detail from you. Cheers from Berlin/Germany

Yeah I always thought Clapton and Gilmour would have been so much better on Les Paul's. Sheesh.
Tom Fritzsch Well Clapton was better on a Gibson, just listen to cream. It was all down hill from there
Thats your opinion
***** well said
telecaster of course (y)
I like the way you use something simple and make it sound awesome. Nice video!
Not gonna lie, I clicked here to witness the miracle of Mike not ageing a day in 12 years… he must have the ring of power or something!
best thing is to use a lot of reverb single coils are better for it but if you humbuckers have screws take out the screws and theyll sound like single coils also play as near to the bridge as you can i hope this helps
Thanks for uploading your video!
Great man how you manage all these different styles! The guitar sound and the playing are always tasteful and authentic.
Really good skills!
I play myself since decades but I can learn that one or another detail from you.
Cheers from Berlin/Germany
