- ▶TABS + BONUS LESSON ON PATREON!◀ I'm exploring some of the lesser known qualities and uses of the Blues Scale. Versatile and great to use for improvising. We learn that the scale is more than just a pimped pentatonic scale!

Paul - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

We live in "everything as fast as possible era". People want one minute tik tok videos to learn everything. Patience is no longer appreciated. I can't believe someone complain about you "talking too much" instead of being grateful for this incredible summary and all your work!!
Did people seriously complained about you talking to much?! I actually like that you talk with a lot of enthousiasm and the extras gives me more comprehension!
He does not fluff his videos with pointless stuff. When he talks, I listen. I never skim through his videos.
anyone who thinks he talks too much would kill themselves watching a musiciswin video lol
@@espenfarstad1697 - He spreads genuine gems, so I listen.
That 1.2M subs proves him right.
I'm gonna file this under "abso-fucking-lutely."
Paul is a tremendous teacher. He explains technical concepts well.
You’re not talking too much, you are clearly explaining theory… unlike many other TH-camrs.. and that’s why you’re one of the best!
Noooo Paul you don't talk too much at all, your videos are honestly wonderful don't change! :)
minor pent over major chords in scale
major pent over minor chords in scale
Sanjeev Kabir Singh I agree 100%
exactly!!!!
Anyone that thinks that probably doesnt understand the value of what is being said
I agree because when I start my channel there's not going to be foreplay.
Your character is 70% the reason why I love the channel so much. Don't stop talking obey wan, please 💔
I'm in the same boat. I think you're trying to explain things the best you can. The Why is just as important as How. Thanks for your enthusiasm Paul.
I agree! And IMO 50% of that 70% character emanates from that marvellous beard and hair.
Hair + beard + voice = Paul
Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope.
Yes, that's a quote from _guitar chords_
Paul: "... makes it sound like an E minor"
Me *try on my guitar*: sound like an E-diot
Ouch, too real
😂
An Em pentatonic scale is a G major scale. The E is the relative minor to G just as A is to C etc, count down 4 notes to the minor from the root. But Major scale requires changing scale shape when changing chords. Play like Dickey Betts and you will get it. Good luck
Hahaha, With that sense of humour you will go far
Thanks, you make me laugh.
That's real. :)
You talking is why I watch your channel. You explain things very well. Including the little nuances. Unlike others channels where they talk and say very little.
the people that say you talk too much are probably the same people that don’t understand the difference between minor and major
jail time
There are also people who don’t understand the difference , who think he talks the perfect amount ... well there’s at least one .
They would also be the same people whom, if he talked less, would say 'he's not explaining it enough for me to understand'.
Or they don’t know how to listen...
@@boghbayles4637 The difference is on the third ;)
I agree with Chris M. You don't talk too much. Your videos are of good length (~10-20 min). Your messages are to the point. Your method of communication is encouraging, positive, and enthusiastic. There is much great content in your videos. Finally, the timing of this video is strangely weird. This past Sunday I planned my practice week to cover the blues scale. Your network of spies is quite extensive.
People have very low attention spans nowadays so people complain about long videos they have to give focus on
Both y’all bugging he talk way too much (sarcasm)
You do not talk to much brother!
It's very helpful and relevant that you talk while teaching us! You can't be the wonderful teacher that "you are" without talking to us!!!
Ty for everything, and don't stop talking my friend.🤘👊
Screw the haters. Talk all you want, Paul. The more you talk, the more I learn. I enjoy learning!
Dude, keep talking, we're learning! Your videos are fantastic, people don't talk about blues enough
Don’t talk about it enough? I want to learn blues because of how many people talk about it
Keep talking Paul! As much as I enjoy your playing, it is the knowledge you convey that I am here for. Your vids are educational and entertaining.
And, in 1-4-5 blues, to add extra color, try playing in major over the 1, minor over the 4, then diminished over the 5 and see how that sounds. I think it sounds awesome.
Paul looks so sad at the end of the video, you could say he was feeling... Blue
In all seriousness, Paul, you should keep talking. You're very laidback and full of knowledge, it's a joy to hear you talk about what you know and love about guitar
I always admire the people, like you, who grasp music so well intellectually and who also can blast away furiously on an instrument to make sense of it all.
You do a great job.
Shake any tree, 99 critics fall out and one person doing something.
Thanks for caring.
No worries.
Don't you dare change how you do your Channel Talk all you want. We need you to be just the way you are. Awesome teacher.
Thank you for your wisdom.
Paul, I’ve come a very long way in a very short time on the guitar (3 years) and have made lots of progress on improvising on guitar. Your ideas, tips, tricks, techniques, and *talking* have been there throughout this process and I can’t thank you enough man. Cheers 🍻
Paul, you are easily one of the most articulate, understandable, and knowledgeable teachers on the planet. Your eloquence paired with your great playing and careful demonstration really makes your video lessons special. I find your verbal explanations super helpful, informative and entertaining. Thanks for another cool lesson!
These videos are perfect. Please don’t change!! I love the thought behind why you do things a certain way and background explanations.
Paul, the way in which you structure and simply scaffold the lesson is superb. As a keyboard player I have learnt so much from you. Many thanks. Greatly appreciated.
Screw everyone that says you talk to much. Part of the channel and part of the charm of the content.
I’m not sure if you’ll ever see this... but you definitely do not talk too much. You do a great job. Ignore the haters.
Your lessons are awesome Paul - I've learned so much from them, and this one is outstanding. Thanks so much
You don't talk too much. Talking is information and we are here for learning, of which talking is a big part. Keep up the good work 👍
Definitely do not talk about guitar too much at all. You're passionate about music and that's a blessing. Keep doing you and talking about music. Everyone learns differently. Like me!
With so many viewers watching, you can't please everyone. It's a law of nature. ;) You just try to please most people and do your best. I think the vast majority of folks who watch your videos, love them. Count me in that camp.
Keep it up Paul! Great video!
Can't get enough of your channel! Your explanations are so clear. Love the depth you go to and your enthusiasm is contagious. I imagine there are a lot of inspired guitarists out there because of the content you provide. I'm re-inspired after coming across your channel. Cheers Paul ps please do keep explaining everything in depth. You're on point!
Anyone who says you talk too much is someone who can't handle all your great tips and insights. It's not your problem! Keep up the great videos!
Paul, I am 64 and I've been playing for 55 years ,but I haven't played much in the last few years. Your videos have really encouraged me to start playing again. Thanx brother. GBU
Hey Paul - your soothing sounds and charisma are amazing and empowering - you help to give reassurance to us all that we're learning and growing along with you day-by-day! Thank you for your energy and love that you put into all that you do : ) We feel it!
Paul is a great player and teacher, and he seems to be a nice guy.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and music appreciation.
Whoever says you're talking too much doesn't know how TH-cam works. It's not that you're talking too much. It's that they don't know how to turn off something they've heard before or how to skip ahead. Keep talking: it'll give them a chance to figure out how the controls work, and it'll give the rest of us a chance to learn more. Thank you for your helpful videos.
You’re an amazing teacher my dude. I’ve learned so much from you. You describe all that you demonstrate in detail and it is so much easier to understand. People are going to hate but they’d do anything to have your skill. 🤙🏻 thanks for all of your vids!
I find you insights very engaging and informative. Talk away my friend :)
We LOVE your talking, as well as your playing. They add up to your teaching, which is very fine and thus we keep coming back for more. Keep up the great work.
Paul, don't listen to the idiots who say you talk to much. I come to this channel for your knowledge, but also the fun way you deliver it and explain how and when to use whatever it is you're covering in the video. Much love!
Always good and clear videos Paul! Keep going with lessons like this, love ya!
So, I am a self taugh guitarist & I had to figure this relative keys knowledge on my own.
It is so amazing to see you emphasizing on these things. This knowledge is gold for session musicians.
- session musician :)
Finally a channel that doesnt tell you note for note. Not to say im belittling people who does, but, this way i dont have to skip ahead till someone completes a scale or a lick.
Don't you stop talking! Honestly, you're the best guitar teacher I've seen. Very informative and explain everything in a very easy to understand way. No bull, no filler, just Paul. Keep it up!
no he is trash
Honestly man I learned more in this lesson than a lot of others I’ve watched. Great breakdown and explanation
I enjoyed the way you broke this down into levels. Very nice! ✌️🤙
Your words are perfect -- not too much, not too little. Anyone who really wants to learn just has to stop the video and practice each step that you cover. You are a superb teacher. Thank you.
Dear Paul. Don't be sad. I love your playing AND your talking (your mispronunciations are the BEST). I'm sure many feel the same.
John Mayer is a master of step 6. Ps I LOVE HEARING YOU TALK. You're informative af and sometimes funny. Please dont change.
In fact, this is the secret to the killer solo in Gravity, is it not? Paul Davids, you unlock these secrets for us mere mortals. Talk forever.
Amen to that man, can't get enough of the Blues it's the essential ingredient for guitar playing
Your time is valuable.
What you teach is priceless.
Your Videos are a blessing.
I thank you.
Please keep talking all you want Paul. Your videos, teaching style & content are all superb!
Pauls lessons are fantastic, man. I've learned so much from his videos. If he doesn't already, he should make and sell a full intermediate/advanced guitar course. He's a great teacher.
Sir, don't go to the option to talk less, 'cause the jealous people wants to downgrade your channel...
We likes the way that you talk enthusiastically!
I like that you talk. I certainly don’t just want to watch someone jam, and not explain the how and why of how the fret board works. I take lessons in Delaware, when my teacher talks... I listen. Because everything he told me has helped me get better.
Thanks for the detailed discussion. Your playing and all of your talking are always appreciated.
I love your voice. It's the primary reason I watch your channel.
me too! :)
Your videos are always epic
Yes gabby
Agree
*takes breath* Thank man! Cheers
Paul, please feel free to talk as much as you want. Your knowledge is an invaluable tool to all of us who tune in. Thanks buddy.
I love your videos. I like the quick format but I also enjoy your longer vids when you’re showing recording techniques. Great personality and I enjoy learning from you. Thank you!
Don't stop talking. We are very appreciative of your knowledge.
I'm close to age 52 and I wanted to be a guitar player as long as I can think of. But I never really made it much further then smoke on the water because in my teen ages I always opted for the shortcut. After watching your "Music Theorie" series on YT a couple of weeks ago, I took our old children's guitar from the attic and started playing and exploring as suggested because your explanations already making sense to me! About Eleven days ago, I signed for your beginners course and it's simply wow! The main reason, that I'm quite confident to get it right this time, is your unique way of explaining and talking! Please start talking for ages about everything you want if you like, because I'm sure there is so much to lern from, it's highly entertaining and sometimes it relieves the pain at my fingertips a little! Thanks for all you do, you're an awesome teacher!
I wish you all the luck of the world with the guitar.
You are never to old to become a good guitair player..
Nice to read that there are people that begin with guitar on ''older'' age!
And btw..never forget age is just a number..
Take care!
@@sergeantdef.3572 Thank you very much, I appreciated your encouraging words! Since I wrote this comment in 2019, things evolved and I'm very happy that I could make real progress. You're absolutely right, age doesn't matter it's all about practicing on a regular base and having a lot of fun. Getting better is a nice side effect...
@@rebelba42
You are always welcome!
I am happy that you see that you are making progres!And that you like to do it..because that is the most important..
Keep going and you will see what you can do over 2 Years..you will keep growing..even the best guitair players keeps growing and learning new tings..thats the beauty of a guitair..thats the beauty in muziek..
Sorry for my bad english..
Take care and keep up the good work!
Just when you think he is talking about the most basic topic, there is a little nugget in there that not only sneaks in knowledge I didn’t have, it opens up the flexibility of the “simple “ idea and connects concepts I haven’t put together yet. Love this guy.
Please don’t change your approach to video making. I find everything you say informative and your subtle humour makes them more enjoyable. Thanks for all you contribute to TH-cam.
Great teacher. I was thinking there about the musician who first discovered these uses of alternative blue notes. They must have thought 'What was THAT?!!!!!' and the neighbours must have come running to the house with the same question. And the rest is history... I dearly wish we knew the name of the special genius. He deserves a great monument.
Thats my son's name... Hexaton Bender Mctwist
😂
Is he ok? We were pounding Mickys and grinding the coping of a pool when stone broke and teeth flew just as the cops came crashing in, I realize this isn't information a father likes to hear, but... he grabbed the board and spun DNA everywhere and stuck it in the deep end. That was the last I heard tale of Hex. You kids out there will never know what it was like back when sk8ting was a crime, not a sport. well i guess i'll fall back inta diminsiona from my own head tramau just stick that other note in there and younl be jus fine. Loosin a good friend ain' gota be all bad specially when evading the coppers.
@@8nayrb underated comment lmao
shiner
J o.
Talk all you want kid. You are a great teacher!
You do not talk too much. I like the explanations, and way that you tie things together, and give a real application for musical concepts.
Hair out of control, guitar instruction on par... LOVE THIS VIDEO 👊🏼😁
Great video! Very motivating, makes me want to pickup my guitar and try it out.
I love the sound of those chords played on that Strat!
Bite sized lessons are great. Little nuggets to munch on without feeling like you've bitten off more than you can chew. Must be lunch time. Thanks Paul.
Don't know why people are complaining about you "talking too much". How else are we supposed to learn if you don't explain?
These a probably the same people who think theory is for dummies which is because these things are beyond their understanding whilst they're stuck playing powerchords & old tabs & convincing themselves that "theory is for people who can't play".
On the contrary theory is for people who can play & want to learn how to play better still. Videos like this are excellent for that purpose, thanks & KEEP TALKING 😁
Don't know what to say, so... Superb video once again!
Whoever said that you talk to much is wrong. I've always enjoyed your videos for years and never once did I ever think that you talk to much. As a matter of fact, that thought never crossed my mind. Keep making videos the way you want to and if some people don't like it, then they can go take a long walk off a short bridge.
You dont talk to much man! Hearing you talk is what were here for!
Maybe split the difference? I have never thought you should talk less. I appreciate your insights Paul! Keep up the good work!
Love your videos man. Keep 'em coming!
I whole heartedly agree ... you DO NOT talk too much. You're lessons and knowledge are "GOLD". Love your channel! Heading over to Patreon to subscribe.
Your videos are approaching perfection. Great balance, including how much you talk. Well done, Paul. 👏
Wait, no! Don’t stop talking! Which scale do I use when the rhythm goes to the 5th in the progression?
Probabilmente pentatonica di B-
Go for minor. Major is good mainly on the tonic chord
mixolydian hth.
Mixolydian. The 5th mode of the diatonic scale. The notes are the same as the major scale but with a flat 7
for example C ionian or c major is
C D E F G A B C
C mixolydian is
C D E F G A Bb C
Entering the 4 and 5 chord, target a chord tone or arpeggio licks ( or even the major blues scales of those chords) then go into the minor blues scale of the 1 chord as the chord changes.
Listen to Miles Davis' All Blues for a related idea. He plays G7 for the first 4 bars, then goes to G Dorian for the 5th and 6th bar.
My favorite channel on all of TH-cam. This is something I already do unconsciously, but having it broken down in to a language is always helpful. Thanks, mate! Also, I want that shirt!
Please don't stop talking so much. You always have such great things to share and are so inspiring with the incredible enthusiasm you have! Don't listen to the haters!
I've combined major and minor scales before, but I've never thought about combining major and minor blues scales... well done!
i'm having a go learning country guitar and I keep thinking of the major scale with the flat third as the country scale along with using the mixolydian pentatonic scale.
I _liturly_ learned some conceptual ideas today. Thanks, Paul!
Paul, I love your videos not only because of your talent for teaching but for you personality. KEEP TALKING! It make you more personable, more enjoyable and entertaining, and it is who you are! Please do not change how you deliver your message. It's what separates you from the other guitar drones.
Paul, you strike a perfect balance between talking and playing. I never find myself wanting to fast forward past and unnecessary jibber jabber, which I do on many other channels, so you must be delivering the essential information I need to listen to, process and apply. Thank you!
Thanks Paul! :)
Don't listen to the vocal minority, talk as much as you want. Have they got 1.2 million subs? Maybe they should be the ones talking less, not you.
Well said, man!
Well put
well well well, finally 2 mil :D
You are one of the greatest youtube guitarist. You have no problem to share your knowledge. The world needs more people like you dude.
Your talking provides much needed insight and background and is really appreciated!! The impatient, zero attention span people can just double tap to skip ahead
Nice, I'll add a G blues scale to Church. We almost always play in G. And we salty. 😁
This is exactly what I needed this week. Thanks Paul!
This is great. I picked up all these from playing and listening to blues music, but you are right, they are hidden gems.
You have a very soothing enthusiastic voice that makes your lessons easy and fun to learn...keep it up
Anyone who is reading this, hope you have a good day
same to you friend!!!
You too :)
Dammit I appreciate that shit my dude!
I'm just about to go to bed, but thanks anyway.
I already had a bad one :|
Didn’t realise David De Gea was such a good guitarist! LOL
My first comment to you. You don’t talk too much what you say is great and you inspire us. Keep going. Thank you
Best guitar tutorials I have found. Super clear, and to the point. Keep it up my man.
Great video , Paul) 6 notes in the blues scale and 6 steps how to use it ))is it a coincidence?)
