A Pentatonic Scale that Makes Sense

- In an insensible world, one man (me) is looking to make sense of the pentatonic scale in a musical way that can be applied on guitar throughout the fretboard. So take off your shoes cause we're going through a fretboard journey!

A little about me:
Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his TH-cam channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.
I've been playing (scratching) my guitar for 35+ years. In the last two videos you've taught me more about what I could do with a guitar than all those years combined. I'll be taking your lessons faithfully. Hopefully I can send you a video soon. Thank you and keep it up. You've inspired an old man to get back to the music.
So great to hear! Glad you're enjoying the videos!
Same here! An old(er) man in the UK!
Yes sir, like myself, You had *Nothing* to learn from except: A: 1 or 2 ' good ole 1940s Style, "Complete Guitar " books by 'Hal Leonard' ! (Scary part is, He's Still out there Selling 'bad books' (Piano method) ,probably the Only one?)
and, B: Your local Guitar store Instructors, who "Used" books By: The Above rascal ! They'd give you the 'Quick Startup' with *Jingle Bells* or the like! Single notes, only! The Big mistake I made (many of Us) was Refusing to Buy that ole 'IBM 360' computator' ....Just because there was No utube, nor a Display...not to mention a 'Inter - net' ? I always *claimed* that I just didn't have a spare 'Banquet Hall with Mega/AC , to put 'er in!? 'We' would've pissed ourselves over a Tuner!!?
Only trouble NOW is, ole 'Sean' here likely started playing PRO at age 13, so he's So Damn Fast, I can't write it down and need to Watch 10x (Heh!) Plus, He Tries to Hide the Most Important Fingers, i tinks?
@@q4991 So damn right. Got much of this Hal whatever books and I sold my guitar as I got tired of trying to make sense of the rubbish in his "lessons". I hate him!
Brilliant. Thanks for helping me to break away from the dogma of the 5 vertical pentatonic boxes. This linear approach is so liberating!
I think I just found my newest online teacher. Thanks for explaining things in a lighthearted, easy to understand kind of way. Can’t wait to watch more of your lessons. Let the binge watching begin!
Welcome to the party!
underrated guitar lesson, worth every single seconds
Thanks so much for reaching out and saying so!
I'm a 65yo beginner and when I grow up; I want to be just like you Sean (in my dreams). Thanks for making this fun!
Sean, I find myself coming back to your videos almost every day. I've been playing guitar for a very long time and have written a few albums without any formal music education. But these videos have been helping me teach myself guitar so easily. Thank you for all of your lessons.
So awesome to hear Darren! I'll keep em coming!
Thank you. I’m new to guitar and your videos are so helpful.
Excellent lesson sir Sean
If today's children had teachers like you to teach mathematics and science. Certainly there would be many great scientists engineers and doctors
God bless you and your family.
wow finally a practical lesson on how to turn a scale into music..been stuck for awhile on how to apply that to make music, thanks for such a great demonstration man, definitely subscribing to these lessons!
Been checking out many of your pentatonic videos. This one really pulled it all together for me, as it adds more feel in the higher strings. Excellent!
I love your concept of " Know the instrument before being a lead or a rhythm player. " ❤️. Which made my 7min 32 sec worth it.. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you Sean! One of the best lessons I've ever seen. Love your teaching style bro😎
greatest thing about these videos from a content creator's perspective is that it takes me 1 hour and 10 views to watch this video once. Genius
haha ,i appreciate it!
My playing has improved 3-fold in very short order since discovering Mr. Daniels! Thanks!!!
Glad to help!
Best teacher on TH-cam by far. And I’ve been through them all throughout the years
That is a great way to get in to the minor pentatonic from Aminor, avoiding the hurry... and definitely more melodic... thankyou Sean..
This makes sense Sean. It sounds more stylistically pleasing when you slide (which this version forces). Nice lesson.
Thanks so much!
You're welcome Sean.
GREAT video, you have a way of explaining and showing a new technique that works. I have trouble getting to the low E and this lesson is just what I need! !! !!!
Thanks man! I have been teaching myself for quite a while, and your videos seem to take all the tid bits of knowledge that I have learned and bring it together. It just makes sense the way you explain it. Thanks!
So great to hear! Glad you're diggin the vids Dan!
Your video's have finally got me to the next level, your approach to the scale has helped me finally tie my playing together. Keep up the good work, I mean great work!!!!!!!
WOW!! I have been asking someone to say this for years. You explained it so well. I am blown away man, thanks so much!
Happy to help my man! Keep on rockin!
great lesson...that clarified some things i was doing already, but not knowing what it was. now i know how to connect it with the chords. thanks for posting.
O M G...I think you helped me break the pentatonic "JAIL" !!!! GREAT lesson and advice...thank you so much!! Now off to practice learning more notes!
My first comment.
Thx buddy I went from putting the guitar down since 2006 and now with your help I have rocks on my finger tips again
#back in the saddle
I appreciate your presentation and style. Thank you, and happy holidays.
Couple of smart chaps talking boats... Trey can follow everything the owner is saying ... You know the owner thinks like an engineer when he takes substantial time to explain a nail, wooden nail, awesome! 👍. I learned something about my home state California on an Aussie sailing channel, Yahoo! 🥳🥳🥳. Like the sense of exploration you two share together 🙂
2 Videos and I'm farther than I ever have been! Thanks so much. One of the best youtube teachers!
Great lesson, for me it's like discovering the missing link. Also Love "comfortable licks" more of those please. Love from New Zealand.
Thanks so much! Cheers from the US!
Thanks learnt a lot in one session, damb this guy Seans slick, energetic informative and a Good Teacher much appreciate the effort spent.
Thanks so much Andrew! I'll keep em coming!
Always love watching and learning from your tutorials. It makes a lot of sense and easy to understand. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching!
Oh thx man the best tutorial I’ve found about pentatonics ,feel lucky I found this tutorial 👏
happy to help!
Hmmmmm, looking at this with a new eye - busy learning the fretboard along with the various shapes and scales [at last], and throwing off the chains and burden of chords by rote, - that 7 minutes opened it up just that little bit more - and gave the pentatonic, with a twist, an actual use. I'm lapping this sort of material up. Thank you.
Happy to help!
Fun because it’s connecting the 5 pentatonic scale positions on the higher strings. Cleverly presented sir.
i've started seeing all your videos, 1 or 2 a day, keep up the good work
Glad to hear they're helping!
Very nice lesson. Concise and very useful. Thank you.
Nice little nugget of gold you shared.... thank you!!
Happy to help!
Great lesson. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome bro...thanks a lot....made me interested to explore more and enjoy....God bless u
Great lesson, Sean! You're the Man! Thanks.
"The seaneverlost pentatonic method." Love when Sean makes these kind of vids especially the arpeggios.
Always happy to help!
Sean, I’ve been trying to “capture” an understanding of what to do with the pentatonic scale FOR YEARS! ! You’ve just opened up my entire music world!! Thank you so much! Where’s that SUBSCRIBE button!!!
So cool to hear! Welcome to the party!
Agree 1000%
Thanks! Again a very useful lesson for newbies like me. Making sense of the scales.
Always happy to help!
Awesome video and thanks for sharing your tips
Sean my man, you always have the right stuff
Thanks so much!
Damn! You never cease to amaze! This opens up a whole new facet for me to play with. I just love going nutz on new ideas( for me of course), and just searching for new applications! Thank you again! ( PS: learn the difference between wheat and corn will ya?? Hahaha!)
I agree with Michael St-Archangel. Been playing chords for decades and Man! , it gets pretty boring. I mean we're talking Peter Paul and Mary here! Watching you teach and explain how to extend my playing to the entire guitar fret board has made playing guitar fun again. I have never enjoyed learning scales and moving around the fret board so much. You're the best teacher evah!!
Man thanks so much!
Dude that was s FANTASTIC lesson!!! Well done!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
That was a great explanation! Thank you!

Dang, how did I miss this lesson. Hendrix was the master of mixing chords with minor pentatonics.
man this is very helpful I will be having a lot of fun with this idea thanks for the info .
Happy to help Peter!
Thank you! Been wondering how to make it all work! Have had a few people tell me and show me scales but always w the quote “you’ll figure it out’...well, I must be slow cause I aint figured it out...till this vid! Thanks again. New subscriber BTW!
I love you man this video is amazing
Thanks so much for watching!

Here's a comment I can get behind.
Perfect!
Brilliant lesson sean
Thanks for watching!
You are a beautiful soul man.
Thanks so much!
this is great learning. thank you.
Great video to break out of the open chord area
Great lesson.
Always wondered why the a minor pentatonic scale was the main one....finally realised watching this its for playing in the key of c...as a minor is the relative minor chord........light bulb...thanks Sean..
Great lesson - I'll "never" be "lost" on the fretboard - maybe you should trademark the idea with some catchy name? The Dot-hopping system?
👆 he’s onto something there
Maybe the Sean Method?
Quality Teaching ma man!
A good stuff Sean very good
Great tip to break out of chord strumming.
I really like your blinds and that trim work in the beautiful paint job cell Precision who's your contractor?
Thanks so much! Builder's name is Jeff Tucker in sarasota
Great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Lee!
Good little lesson, that’s what I have trouble with.. EXAMPLE; If I’m trying to play a little blues in A and go in to a little jam I always start on the 1 but just staying in that A-minor just don’t sound right... I suck at explaining
Thanks so much! I totally get it, I did the same thing :)
And 6 over 9 acale, 6 th scale, and, M7b5 scale, which are all related to the pentatonic.
They all rock out!
Great lesson
Happy to help!
So many great TH-cam instructors like Marty, Justin, Griff. Sean is right up there with these guys. Very skilled player & is able to actually teach effectively. Thanks for giving back to the guitar community, man!
Thanks so much for saying so!
Thanks Ian , great lesson
Hahahahah!
Yes, great lesson Ian. What happened to the beard.
Who do you think taught Ian all he knows?
Any pentatonic prowess I now have is a direct result of watching both Ian and Sean’s videos. Keep up the great work guys. It’s much appreciated.
Thanks bro,now I get it now
Happy to help!
How to do this in other keys
Amazing video !!
