This is right on time! Thanks, man...always good stuff from your channel...
New guitar? Haven't seen this Strat...
Thanks Justin, Crackin lesson as usual !!!
I keep on coming back to your lessons. Amazing content. Greetings from a language teacher from Belgium! :)
I love that, even though I've played for well over three decades, I can still watch one of your "simple pentatonic" lessons and get something. You're a great teacher, Justin.
In my day we would call this lesson The Bomb. Wonderful, I'm stealing it all!
A great lesson. I've understood the concept for a little while but this, along with Lee's previous lesson, has really helped to put this into practice. Justin, you really are an excellent and highly likeable teacher and your content has always been superb, but the quality of content you've been putting out in the last few months has been phenomenal. Thank you.
Great information. Thank you Justin.
Super excited for this series of lessons. Fantastic subject!
You are an excellent teacher Justin.
OMG!! This lesson is the perfect timing for I am learning the different pentatonic blues scales now and this has opened up my mind. Wow this is so much fun
Brilliant lesson from a great teacher.
Justin, I can't get over how much your videos have improved over the years and your playing is phenomenal. Bravo!
Awesome as usual
Great teaching ...many thanks
Exactly what I am looking for! Mixing the scales, great!! Keep it up!
Justin this is AWESOME! Thank you!
Loving these lessons.
Great lesson, once again. Thanks.
Your channel is a real inspiration, Justin! I am definitely still thinking too much when I’m playing. You’re right, it’s a matter of training more, by myself. Thanks for the reminder, I’ll be practicing some more today!
Definitely a very useful lesson.
I think this kick off can really teach me how to incorporate licks into the 12 bars blues and with a bit of creativity and courage to modify them to make them more natural as the chords go by. Great class!
I can not wait to get back from work and put into practice. ^.^
Great lesson justin Thx👍👍👍🎶🎸
7:20 Excellent advice! That's how I'm gonna proceed: to force myself to think, while I'm training my fingers & ears, so that when I'm actually playing & expressing myself, I'll already have the "tools" i need programmed into my brain.
I like what you said (prev vid) that we "need to have a 'subroutine' running that keeps track of where we are in the 12-bar Blues."
Great stuff. I'm practicing as we go (in my head, while I'm watching, then I'll stop & play for a few minutes 'till I've got it. Then, next video!).
9:44. I won't need that long to move on to next video, but I WILL practice all of it for a couple weeks to get it second nature, until I move to more advanced licks. Thanks!
👍 👌
Thank you justin! Very very helpful. I will start trying this immediately.
This is very cool. This is why I sub'd up. Great teacher.
Fantastic lesson, really love it. Thanks so much for your amazing work over the years, really helped my guitar playing come along. My wife and I are moving to Australia from Ireland early May this year. Can't wait. Hopefully the Australians are all as nice as you 🙂
Love it! So useful. Thanks!
Excellent, comme d'habitude. Merci Justin !
Thank you Justin. 🙏🙌
Great ! Thank you !
Thanks Justin this is a superb lesson starting from the basics of targeting the the right notes over chord changes right up to learning to add improvisation and still being in key. Thank you so much your time and lessons are greatly appreciated mate 🙏
Wonderful and valuable lesson Justin! Thank you!
This is super helpful. Thanks Justin
Thank you. I need more of this Major Blues
Diggin’ it Justin. Just what I need!
This lesson is exactly what I need to start going from just chord strumming to playing licks! Thanks Justin!
Fantastic series. Particularly looking forward to the "Mixing"..
Still the best and most engaging Blues Instructor I've seen. Great and clear lesson.
Genius man, keep 'em coming.
i love this guy hes a great teacher
One of the best on you tube. It's finally coming into focus after 6 years. Thank you, Justin
Thanks , very smoothly interchange
super helpful--ty much. am super grateful to/for ya. thanksgiving, and godspeed to u and urs!!! :)))
Great stuff!
CheersJustin magic as per mate.
So true great lesson !!!!
I love the term “a bit thinky”, I’m gonna use that from now on. Great advice in here, cheers Justin
Fantastic
This was just what I needed as a jump off point from playing the minor penatonic over all the chords! Thanks Justin. Great lesson.
Extreemely important lesson. Most people complain that their exercise sound too machanical. This lesson encourage us to combine melody and timing.
Thanks Justin.
I am really enjoying this Justin, thank you. I will make a donation
Good lesson Justin
Justin, thanks for an extremely useful lesson. This lesson along with the previous lesson on the major pentatonic scale, Have been eye/ear opening. When you demonstrated that the major scale sounds so bad over the 4 chord it was a real lightbulb moment.
Thanks great lessons, been playing minor pentatonic/blues for so long and was just stuck..!! Subbed ✌️✌️
On point Justin !
Your right. simple lick, but the concept of tying the minor phrases together using the major lick provides such a dynamically interesting flavor and contrast. I’ve been stuck on a plateau for about 3-4 months, and this just opened up the fretboard around what I’ve been doing.... adds a 3rd dimension to it.
Timing is perfect to, I’m just trying to work up something new and different tonight, for this Sundays music, for church I play for....
And, I gotta say, I can drool over your tone.... ima hafta go check out the video with your rig rundown...
Mahalo 🙏 from Hawai’i
Great stuff.
great exercise
A gem of a lesson this Justin, hoping for great things from this..... so no pressure Lol!
Good stuff mate! \m/
This and the following lesson are excellent for breaking into improvisation. Good on ya Justin. Maybe you can expand on this including minor if you haven't already. Top rate!
Hey man ..great video! Thank you :-)
Practice practice ! Three To Four times A day ! 🎶🎶🎶🎶 very good thanks!
Ah! Very suitable stuff. Thank you Justin 🖤
ur welcome!
Can I just say Justin that your great little vids push (not force) me to study theory.......keep em comin mate.
Great lesson for what its intended for....Minor pent guys getting into playing major pent. I got myself past this point, but I cant help watching these lessons, hoping for some new gems :)
Dude, your videos are very good!
Brazilian greetings
Nice stuff. Keep it up bro.
Cheers!
It works roughly like in the Elvis' tune Hound Dog. Gotcha. Good starting point Sir, thanks a lot for your great lesson as usual.
I just started learning guitar and you are my go to channel.
That's awesome. I really recommend going through his full beginners course playlist. You'll be playing songs in no time, and once you can play along to songs you like you'll be hooked =)
After a year, I have to say: Wise choice...
Awesome!! 1mil subs before you know it🤙👍💪
Yeah nexy lesson! Hope you have a good day today Justin
was gonna make you wait a week, but then thought... nah, give it them now :)
This was an awesome lesson and the first time my scale playing and changes actually sounded like music. I’m finding I’m wanting to extend the licks but there are too many pieces of the jigsaw missing for me with regard to patterns etc. I think it would be helpful to say which position major pentatonic to use and maybe just another starting lick to mix it up slightly. I’m playing around with yours but find I have to start virtually the same way each time because of the slide into the note and it does get a little tedious. There’s great stuff here but I’m not sure I’m getting the main benefit.. there’s fireworks going off with linking positions etc but finding as I take it further I come unstuck at times. Knowing some safe notes that work with all the changes would be useful to stop from overplaying. Sometimes I find them naturally but others may not. I just want to know how to utilise this to the maximum some times I find I’m doing a lot of the right thing but I don’t know why and I want to do the same with the minor shapes I’m hoping that comes in the next vid any tips in future lessons much appreciated great lesson!!! Really helpful and I never realised you couldn’t play major pentatonics over minor chords that’s made so much clear now !
Nice hat
Justin you should open a guitar music school ..you are the best teacher
Killer lesson! you 6 stringed Peaky Blinder!
really cool to see u wearing blue shirt on blues lessons
I'd be happy being half as "lumpy" as Justin....
You mean in the real world you got to feel it yes I like these lessons cool Mr Justin oh BTW my tab is probably up to a few thousand dollars I owe you so far in in a about 9 years of gutiar lessons
Can we secretly put this video in the Captains inbox for a not so subtle hint?
Great lesson but how do I find the other lessons in this series?
Hi Justin, I see that that you're moving the major pentatonic around to follow the chord changes, would it also be possible to play that same pentatonic major but instead playing it in the same key as the whole song and not changing the key of the scale at every chord change?
Awesome! Thank you very much Justin! The bit that confused me a little: When you introduced that little bend at 08:05, you bent the second to the minor third right? Doesn't that turn it into a minor lick? It didn't sound wrong to me, but it's confusing me. Or is that simply one instance which you described as "the minor blues stuff always works"?
I could be wrong but it looked like he bent the note B a whole tone up to C#. If he would have only bent a semi tone up, that would have been the minor third. At least that's it to the best of my understanding.
Upon further review, you are right. He for sure is only bending up to the note C. Gonna file this one under "if it sounds good it is good"
What's a d chord on the minor pentatonic?
Does this connect to the CAGED pentatonic shapes also?
Yes. 100%. The five major pentatonic scale patterns are subsets of the five major scale patterns which are entirely derived from and exist within the CAGED system. www.justinguitar.com/modules/caged-system
Cheers 😊

That's exactly how i did it at first.....One octive and the same riff over each chord.
The fanzy riffing stuff , playing the dominant over the V...comes later.
or shuffling the Maj and minors.
I Major IV Major V Maj
I Major IV Major V dominant
I Major IV Min V dominant
I Major IV min V min
or this
I min Maj V dominant
I min min V dominant
I min min min VI Dominant into II min
or use ALL dominants chords ..later.
OneEyE Monster stealing that shit, right there! I play over hella dominants anyway, this gives me somewhere else to explore..🙏
Hey, what guitar brand is that? I've wanted to look up their guitars for a while but can't find it using "strat with guitar on headstock".
Gray Guitars
@@tiagosmg Thank you very much.
Would you give away an electric guitar to your most hardcore fan from Iraq? lol sorry, it was worth a try :). Thanks for teaching me how to play man.
When you go to the 4 chord D, what major pent shape are you playing?
Graham Fogg
Hi Graham. It comes from the shape most people would see as ‘Pattern 1’ of the MINOR pentatonic, but with your pinky on the root, i.e. on the sixth string, tenth fret (D). Justin’s just playing the root on the fifth string, fifth fret, before sliding up to new position. Hope that helps. Regards.
Just had a thought: in fact, the lick over all three chords comes from that same pattern. Try it on each chord, referencing off the root note with the pinky on the sixth string, and I think you’ll see what I mean. In each case, Justin is just playing the root note on the fifth string, not the sixth.
@@karlfarren thanks, yeah that's what I thought, but yes Justin playing the D note 1st was throwing me.
Justin, is this a part of Blues 3 or the 4th module? I'm confused because earlier, you released the lesson on 6th that comes up as a part of Blues lead 3 and now this stuff is in the 4th module on the site.
This is the 4th module which is about making the changes - I'll go fill in BLG3 soon :) lotta demand for this Maj Pent stuff it seems!
Oh, thank you. And a quick question,if you don't mind, regarding this subject. SRV's Lenny is in Emaj, but he is playing both Emaj pent and emin pent over it while soloing. How's that possible?
@@reljavasiljevic4222 coming later in the series! :)
When is Pete coming in for a jam?
Hopefully again soon!
nice lick I know you said but is there more of an explanation to why you should play it down the neck like that
@Verty thanks but what you have just said does not mean anything to me
He starts on the open A so it can only be played that way there whereas the lick played at the 5th and 7th frets can be moved anywhere on the neck depending on the key
W S ok I understand but that’s not what he’s saying?
Give me the strings and frets
That's a great guitar but is it just me or it's buzzing a bit?
Tsnice again*
