  • In this MicroLesson, you'll learn a simple technique for improvising lead by visualizing a triangle and rectangle shape. Super simple.
    This lesson has a solo using this technique that is tabbed out, and the MP3 jam track is available - you can get them both here: www.activemelody.com/microles...

    Brian, for the first time ever in my life, I have signed up for a premium account for a TH-cam channel (ActiveMelody). In the past, I was always hesitant because I didn't think I'd get my money's worth and I thought it would take too much time to pick out the few pearls of learning in long lessons. But after watching a couple dozen of your lessons, I was sure that by becoming a premium member, my guitar playing would improve and that my money and my time were being wisely invested. This is because, your lessons present a healthy and balanced dose of theory and application, and you have a great sound and an extensive knowledge of different guitar styles. I'm really excited to start this next chapter in my guitar playing. Thank you!

    I love when you teach how to find a "pattern" from just one note on the B or E string. That eliminates my need to think and it gives me a place to go back to when I get lost. When I have to think during a solo, it sounds like somebody throwing a bike chain into an F1 engine.

    This is an interesting variation of the BB box. BB superimposes the rectangle on the triangle by using D and E on the first string rather than sliding to the C#. I'll add this to my tool kit. Thanks!

    • @mojoe9096
      @mojoe9096 ปีที่แล้ว

      For A minor it's the same pattern just go down 2 frets so third finger is playing the A instead of your first finger, or you can go up three frets from where he is playing in the video. Both will be A minor. In this video he starts the A major pentatonic in what is sometimes called the "BB King box", go down two frets to A minor and you are in the "House of Blues"

    Amazing! Something i still don‘t get: Let‘s say a jam track in the key of A has a chord progression like A - D - E. Can i solo over all three chords using just the A pentatonic, or do i have to change to D and E pentatonic to align with the chord changes?

    Brian, I have finally located the triangle and rectangle in the 4th and 5th patterns. This means, for this example, I can start or end the A major pentatonic scale in the 2nd pattern on the 5th fret of the low E strong. Thatʼs new to me as I had thought I need to always start off the root on low E strong with the pattern 1. Can you please verify for me it is true? Thank you.

      For the Am im getting the 4,6,b7,1,b3,4 intervals, and for F im getting the 6,1,2,3,5,6...
