Great lesson. Another easy way to remember this, is that playing box 2 of the minor pentatonic scale but starting on the root note on the 6th string will give you the major pentatonic in the same area. Just add the flat 5ths if you want the blue notes.
Placing colored tape on the frets is a great idea, you can even write on the tape the degree of the scale to memorize them little by little, thanks for the tip
Well, you manage in five minutes of PLAYING and ACTUAL teaching, to illustrate very directly something extremely useful. Congrats! I'm really sick and tired of the narcissistic fool that tries to "teach" but ONLY talks. Unfortunately, they abound in TH-cam and worst of all, they have the faintest idea about how to COMMUNICATING a concept, idea, shorcut, etc. Trust me, a LOT of PEOPLE can learn from you. You nailed it!
perfect lesson! been having a brain lock in the minor pentatonic box and starting most licks with the minor third. this video is the best I've found so far to help me break out of that. thanks a lot
Fantastic! I thought I had the mixing of major and minor pretty well handled, but I learned quite a bit here. Some very tasty licks here! The red and blue dots are brilliant. Can't wait to show this to some students.
So glad I stumbled into this site, I'm off to buy some colored stickers or are those colored marking pens? Anyway, you have just inspired me more, Martin. Thanks and aloha....
hello! thx, great as always!! can you do something similar when you play over the IV chord?? because when you play over the IV chord you tend to highlight different chord tones or? cheerz, from Austria
Can you tell me if am I understanding this correctly? Ignoring the colours for a second - you seem to have position 1 of the A minor blues scale with position 2 (so A major) blues scale right on top of it. However, the only note I can't account for by just overlaying the two blues scale positions (rooted at A) is the orange b5 you have on the 4th fret of the B. Is there an error in my thinking here or is it purely a coincidence that this looks like an overlay of position 1 and 2 (albeit with that one unaccounted for note)?
Hi, yes, that 5b (second string 4th fret) comes from position 5 of minor pentatonic scale. I just use it because... is there. I overlapping position 1 of A minor pentatonic scale with position 2 of F# minor pentatonic scale (also called Major pentatonic scale of A). Another way to think this is Mixolydian mode of A.
So when you say major 3rd,your just grabbing that 3rd note from A major scale,off the 6th string in this case,correct? I use the minor pentatonic and major scale,but not mixing them together. I understand the intervallic spelling,for both scales,but could never move beyond that too much. Maybe I could learn bits and pieces,and actually move to more advanced stuff. How about a chord progression this would work over? This whole idea is kinda bending the rules,right?
I basically play minor pentatonic,major pentatonic,the major scale,and the natural minor scale in my solos. Got to move to something a little more modal,or at least differen't.
Hi, good question. Two options: 1- you can use only minor/major pentatonic over the 12 bars of the Blues sequence or 2- You can follow the chord progression and play A minor/major D minor/major E minor/major (following the chord progression). Thanks!
Hey Jack! It's easier than you think :) Please, watch my blog oneblueslickaweek.blogspot.ca/ And please, pay attention to this post oneblueslickaweek.blogspot.ca/2016/05/an-easy-way-to-remember-all-notes-of.html Thanks!
i watched the files :) but i can solo quiete well with the minor pentatonic scale,the problem is adding with sense the notes of its relative major... if we are in A Major i can mixe easily position 2 of a minor and position 3 of f#,the issue is combining the 2 scales in the other positions hope you understand what i mean
This lesson massively helped me visualise things. Thanks so much.
This opened my eyes and I see the scales in a whole new way. I never thought about the major octaves.
I'm glad to hear that! :)
Thanks!
:) Thanks man!
Great lesson. Another easy way to remember this, is that playing box 2 of the minor pentatonic scale but starting on the root note on the 6th string will give you the major pentatonic in the same area. Just add the flat 5ths if you want the blue notes.
Thanks Martin. One of the best major/minor pentatonic lessons on TH-cam. The colour explanation is excellent.
This is so simple yet amazing! Fantastic job on simplifying the major and minor and more importantly how to use them together! Thank you sir!
Thanks!

Thanks Puro! I try to do my best. I try to explain concepts as easy as possible. And playing at the same time :)
Thanks again!

Yes. I will make it. Thanks!
Thanks! I am waiting for this! You a very good teacher .Hope a timing lesson will come soon! Cheers!
Thanks! :)
Nice way to think about merging both shapes major and minor. How do you get that effect in all 5 shapes and keep it glued to your brain 🤪
Haha practice I guess.
Lots of practice
Excelente! Clarisimo! Gracias por compartir
Gracias!

Great lesson Martin, only just found your youtube channel where you been hiding lol, thankyou.
incredible
David Gold thanks!
This is exactly what i need! I was wondering when will someone tape this boxes, for easier visualization of theory :)
Thanks!. I will do more soon. Subscribe to be up to date to all my videos :)
Where to get this coloured tape?great tool!🤗
Handmade! :)
Great. Why didn't you choose use blue to label the blue notes? :-) Isn't this really the minor pentatonic mixed with the mixolydian?
I will talk about this (pentatonic + mixolydian) today at 2pm in a live streaming here in my TH-cam channel! Thanks!
Can I use this scale for both Major and Minor home chords?
Yes! And you can use the 3rd (minor or major) as a transition.
hello! thx, great as always!! can you do something similar when you play over the IV chord?? because when you play over the IV chord you tend to highlight different chord tones or? cheerz, from Austria
Hello! Thanks!
Yes, next videos IV and V.
Thanks again!

@@GuitarBluesHury thanks for the explanation and many thanks for the very enlightening way of displaying your method! All the best.
So when you say major 3rd,your just grabbing that 3rd note from A major scale,off the 6th string in this case,correct? I use the minor pentatonic and major scale,but not mixing them together. I understand the intervallic spelling,for both scales,but could never move beyond that too much. Maybe I could learn bits and pieces,and actually move to more advanced stuff.

I just grab that major 3rd from A (root)
Wholly damn you have huge hands. Thanks for the lesson :)
Hahahah! LOL Yes I have. Thanks!
it's called the ZZ top hands
:)
This is a great lesson!! Why the blue notes not in blue?! ;)
Because to me, the sound of the bluenote it's sour. I put it in orange to remember that flavor/sound. Like an orange! :)
Some real tasty stuff in there, can u break some licks down & give some advice ? Thanks
practice
And listen to Blues :)
Thanks heaps!!! :D
+Luke Bonnici :) Tanks!
when you said 6th and ninth did you mean the chords?? or from the scale that your in?😕
It´s the same :)
The 6, 9th or any interval from the ROOT
Martin Hury / Blues Guitar Lessons ah ok. Got it. Thanks
I gotta go buy me some colored tape! lol
Ha, I was thinking the same thing
:) LOL!
We call it African-American tape nowadays.
hahaha....
MARTIN HURY BLUES GUITAR:>>>>>
can you make a video showing a bunch of ROCK guitar solos that used Major Pentatonic scales not minor pentatonic
What he's talking about is commonly referred to as the "Slash Scale" , because he uses it so much.
Great playing, Martin! Are from Italy?
From Argentina. Living un Canada. Thanks!
I basically play minor pentatonic,major pentatonic,the major scale,and the natural minor scale in my solos. Got to move to something a little more modal,or at least differen't.
Ok, but what about the parallel played chords?
Hi, good question. Two options: 1- you can use only minor/major pentatonic over the 12 bars of the Blues sequence or 2- You can follow the chord progression and play A minor/major D minor/major E minor/major (following the chord progression). Thanks!
Good lesson! I like this idea of using stickers, it's probably something we should all do but don't bother.
+earthquaker75
Hey! Thanks! Yes, try to use stickers for every scale you wanna practice...It helps a lot!
I believe this is exactly how chuck berry learned to play guitar. He just mixed minor and major together to create a hybrid scale basically.
Can send me the tabs of the scales
Hi, you can download the chart from this link bit.ly/3HV0vF2
smart...
❤👍💪
dear martin i can solo quite easily in the position you show...the real pain is frasing on the other positions...i can t solve the problem;(
Hey Jack! It's easier than you think :)
Please, watch my blog oneblueslickaweek.blogspot.ca/
And please, pay attention to this post oneblueslickaweek.blogspot.ca/2016/05/an-easy-way-to-remember-all-notes-of.html
Thanks!
Ok I ll try😊
i watched the files :)
but i can solo quiete well with the minor pentatonic scale,the problem is adding with sense the notes of its relative major...
if we are in A Major i can mixe easily position 2 of a minor and position 3 of f#,the issue is combining the 2 scales in the other positions
hope you understand what i mean
Send me an email guitarbluesclasses@gmail.com
You should have made the major notes yellow so you could have made the blue note... blue. Bwhahahahaha!
great lesson
great lesson thanks
Thanks to you :)
