I couldn't expect any less from obi wan kenobi. teaching em' jedis and guitarists alike.
hahahhahaha
Excellent Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Riddleagan Blossoming Solo Remedy (probably on Google)? It is a smashing exclusive product for mastering guitar scales minus the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 got astronomical success with it.

You were the chosen one!
Mate, from the bottom of my heart I sincerely appreciate what you just did. You made it sound so simple. It is one good massive tutorial lesson with a wealth of information. You just made me pick my guitar up again and get on with this lesson. I'm going to start right here and owe it all to you. Great work and thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Carrawit how is ur progress
@@tabatabv8481 I wanna know too ahahah
One of the best examples of using simple pentatonic box over the simplest of chord progression to make it "musical" ... beautiful, and thank you :)
I've seen hundreds of guitar videos in my life and never before has anyone shared using a pentatonic scale a third away from the chord progression. Thank you, it sounds great!
This is the secret that finally revealed by you. I’ve never seen this in many tutorial of major pentatonic. Now i can concentrate on your lesson. Thank you very much
Six string country.
bro you really opened up a door that I have been stuck behind in my guitar playing! thanks!
Anthony Fulton Lucky you I'm still stuck behind my door, frustrating or what?
Me too! I've gotta try this...
Your trick ( 9:50 minute mark) really helped me! I've moved into combining the major and minor in "major key" blues jams, and your simple trick (just move three frets up and play that note's scale) sort of demystified a ton of confusing theory concepts for me!
THANK YOU!
00xanawolf00 That trick is really just determining the relative major from the relative minor of a key. The relative minor is always three half steps below the relative major (e.g. G, F#, F, E) and the relative major is always three half steps above the relative minor (e.g. E, F, F#, G). G is thus the relative major and E the relative minor. The relative major and minor are always in the same key and share the same notes. For example: G Major = G, A, B, C, D, E, F#, G and E Minor = E, F#, G, A, B, C, D, E. The main difference is that you start and stop on a different note.
mcluhanmedia1223 You right Sir
@@mcluhanmedia1223 I guess because I learned blues first, I learned minor pentatonic scales first, so I never had to do this translation. E blues you play E min pentatonic. No translation needed. For me, the inverse of what he’s teaching here was my discovery: that songs in, say, G major can be played with the E minor pent scale (where g is the 2nd note in the scale). I think my guitar teacher taught me this using Eric Johnson as an example - he would often switch to the relative minor pentatonic scale for each major chord in the same solo, eg, G-C-D progression, solo in Em-Am-Bm
The force is strong in this lesson... Obi Wan rocking his Fender.
rofl
U mean his lightsaber?
finally a lesson that's taught so well.
I love your teaching technique. It took a lot of searching to find a teacher who really explains and demonstrates..
thank you so much sir, as a beginner you have taken me into whole new world now. been trying to figure this out for a month now and ive got this..thank you.
Reminds me of my first driving lesson. "So we're parked at the curb right now, here's the clutch, here's the gearbox, put on the blinker, start the car, slowly release the clutch while hovering over the throttle, look in the side mirror, look behind you, turn the wheels to the left, and just roll. It's not that complicated once you know where everything is!.. WTF are you doing?!! (panics and stalls)"
It's the same scale, but I would just tell someone to play D Minor Pentatonic (the position they already seem to know much more than F Major Pentatonic) over D Minor Blues or D7 Major Style Blues. I would eventually explain to them, that they could use the other positions, 1st by showing them the F Major Pentatonic and revealing to them it's the exact same notes.
My assumption is that most of your students must be less likely to be as familiar with the Minor Pentatonic Scale, compared to the Major Pentatonic Scale. Meanwhile, most of my friends don't know what the heck a Major Pentatonic Scale even is.
Anyhow, I found this lesson very helpful and I'm now a subscriber! Thanks!
Awesome video!!! I know all 5 pentatonic scale positions very well, but too many times I find myself just going up and down the scale like a damn robot. This video was so helpful giving me ideas to practice on to break up my robotic soloing. Thanks so much!!!
DJ 2LEGIT same😭
So you were doing C3PO solos...
I watched a lot videos how to improvise solos using pentatonic scales and I never understood how to do it till' I found this epic lesson, honestly I was wasting my time. Thank u so much
This concept of moving up 3 frets to scale over the top in another key e.g. E to G is unreal, it has helped me enormously...thankyou Sir!!!
Unreal??
Never had such a summertime feeling. Thank you!!!
geez, best guitar lesson video i've ever watched. thanks!
Simple, awesome but clear. tnx for not over-explaining: ideal mix is 25% theory, 75% demonstration (like a golf lesson).
Got it! Thank You very much for your lesson. Very helpful
I've been a wanna-be guitarist for most of my life and YOU have de-mystified the neck in one video! Dude! This makes so much sense and Now I can see the good guitarists aren't rocket scientists! There's much to learn but here's a start... and a great one! Thx man
Thank you! This helped me
very good lesson I've learned so much by watching this video ..plus a lot of other videos on youtube...wish they had computers when I was 20....
Men you helped me a lot! you are way better than other teachers

chord tones sound so good
Simple but very great tutorial. You explained it well. Thank you!
Thank you, nice approach to teaching soloing...
Ciao, sono italiano e non parlo inglese. Però ho capito molto bene cosa volevi trasmette. Complimenti sei stato bravo. Continua così, grazie.
honest to god this is the best lesson i have ever had regarding pentatonic soloing. fucking ace! top lad, that.
Great lesson and good tips for beginners like me in terms of soloing...
Got it! Thanks for the reply and explanation. Good lessons!
best lesson on just understanding what is going on.
You are doing such a great job ...... thanks for this video .....this video helped me a lot
Awesome video, thanks dude.
Merci c'est très instructif
Very good lesson

That is the best and easiest way to start soloing ... thanks bruv
i'd love to watch you streaming, just improvising stuff
Beautiful axe! Great job! Thanks!
What youtube needs is yet another site teaching pentatonic scales.There's not much originality on youtube. At quarter of a million hits that's what people want more pentatonics
He reminds me of a young Felder with that beard and slow moves. Thanks mate for this lesson.

Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for sharing:)
Fantastic lesson! Thank you soooo much!
Thanks it was very helpful 😊
Nice!!! You flow good and have a nice vibrato. At first when you where teaching slow i thought ahhh he doesnt know how to play judging by the way you where picking your notes, but i know you where trying to teach from a standpoint for a beginner, but than you started adding everything you know and was able to play how you normally play and let it start flowimg out.
May the pentatonic be with you!😎
Awesome tele!
thank you for a great simple lesson!
Thank you so much... Very helpful tutorial! I dig it totally!
perfect lesson !
Look how easy you make it look like thank you bro.
Very helpful lesson.
Well done video, very calm and educational guitar teacher!
I can offer my two cents on the '3 half-steps up' thing.
First of all, a lot of confusion stems from the fact that some teachers call every position that plays the same by the same name while others call the pentatonic position with the root on the E string 'position 1', differentiating between major and minor.
The latter leads to the 'minor pentatonic position 1' ( good old 3 2 2 2 3 3 tone spacing ) being the 'major pentatonic position 5' as it's the form that is the nearest to the left ( for a right-handed guitar ) of 'major's position 1'. Similarly, 'major's position 2' would be 'minor's position 3' in this system and so on.
So the way I made sense of it all was to assume that the sensei in the video numbers all positions by the way they are played, which makes the 'major position 1' also the 'minor position 1' ( 2 3 3 2 2 2 tone spacing ). If you approach it in this manner you search for the root note on the E string and start with ( 2 3 3 2 2 2 ) - and you are now playing a major pentatonic when you climb up and down the fretboard from there.
If you want to play minor ( which fits a broader range of music styles to begin with ) and want to start with the same shape 'position 1', you have to start 3 frets higher than you started on for major.
In the same vein you have to move 3 frets down if you started learning the minor pentatonics before the major ones. So if you, like a lot of people, learned the ( 3 2 2 2 3 3 ) shape as your benchmark 'minor position 1', then you start the shape on the E string root note and you have a minor pentatonic scale. And if you move this shape 3 frets down, you now play a major pentatonic scale.
So all that is being said by 'moving up 3 frets / half-steps' is that you should use ( mostly, you can do what you want!! ) the minor pentatonic for blues-y stuff and you do that by pushing every major shape 3 frets higher. So in a way, most guys here are right :)
This does not take into account that you have to emphasize the correct root note for whatever you are playing, which basically makes the same scale play differently in both major and minor as you try to land on different notes within the shape to resolve things.
The easiest for me was to just have a 'minor position 1' and a 'major position 1' so I could always start with the one I needed on the root note of the E string - the sequence of shapes stays the same, so you can easily find you way up and down if you know the five different shapes and how they connect. After a few months of playing around with the shapes you memorize the root notes in each shape as they are always 'in the same place' within the tone spacing.
Get to a root note anywhere on the fret, do a ( 2 3 3 ) shape, adjust for the b string if you have to and you play in major. Take the last note as the new root.
Do a ( 3 2 2 ) shape, adjust for the b string and you play minor. You can again take the last note as new root.
best youtube guitarist ive heard
