This is great. I'd really like to know more about how you know that Em pentatonic works with G major. Same tones except the F# in the G major, but learning how all that sort of things work would really change things for me.
Thanks! It's pretty simple: E minor is the relative minor of G major. So, E minor penatonic fits (it has the exact same notes as G major pentatonic). It's all about relative minor and major scales.
Dan can you help me understand what arpeggio to play in a certain progression? So if the song is in E minor and progression is E, G , B ,A. What are arpeggios do you play with each chord? Major or minor? Hopefully that makes sense.
Hi Andrew. I’m not one hundred percent sure you’ve formed the question the way you wanted. I’ll explain: E, G, B, and A are all major chords so you’d play major arpeggios. They match up like that. Major arpeggios with major chords, minor arpeggios with minor chords. You mention the song is in E Minor. I think you might mean Em, G, Bm, Am. Those are the chords that ‘fit’ to that key. The ‘m’ stands for minor so you play minor arpeggios. I might have got it wrong and you meant E, G, B, and A. Those are all major arpeggios. Hope that helps.
@@OnlineBassCourses Yeah. Not the best tool in the shed when it comes to theory. I just know when I'm playing in my band and somebody's playing a progression I want to know what I can play besides just following the guitar all the time. He's playing bar chords what arpeggios can I play to spice it up a bit. I am completely self-taught and trying to understand theory a little bit more and become a good musician. I've been struggling with this for years lol Thank you for responding.
@@andrewloya76 In that situation, it’s about using your ears to determine the chord progression (or just ask the guitarist!). Then you can play loads of things depending on that. This lesson will help you: th-cam.com/video/yhgT7WoIF1Y/w-d-xo.html
