You are on a roll! Another really helpful lesson to keep us going and getting better. I always learn something new and also get to review and reinforce what I have been learning. Thank you from the soggy Pacific Northwest! Kraken!
This is so weird... My guitar teacher showed me the trick to playing a major pentatonic scale two days ago, and since then I've seen half-a-dozen videos about the major pentatonic scales. I swear the devices are listening to us. 😂
Thank you for the great tutorial. Someone showed me the House of Blues, the A minor pentatonic. The 9th fret G string, the 10th fret B and e string and the 8th fret B and e. It makes a house shape. All 5 notes are in the house. The root on the 10th B string “A” for minor and and the 8th e string for the root of the “C” major. Just find the root note on the B string and make a house. It’s easy to show but confusing to text. Love the shirt also!
Thanks for watching and I love the shirt too. ha. Looks like you have a solid method that works for you for sure. Just keep connecting the dots and having fun. Lots more to come and keep going.
I love the idea of using your phone as a Looper cuz all I got to do is open the Samsung voice recorder and I can record a little riff any place back to my Bluetooth speaker that's sweet I don't have to buy a Looper that uses a battery or a power supply when I'm out there with my portable app I can just use my phone.... brilliant! So I hit subscribe man thanks
Thank you. Yes, sometimes I'm just jamming on the couch with an acoustic and I grab my phone and record a few bars to noodle over. Thanks for watching and the sub. Lots more to come and keep going. :)
Love your videos and have been practicing the pentatonic scales, as well as the major and minor triads. It's been extremely helpful, but the one gap I seem to have is with the major scales. Are there specific shapes we should be focusing on and if so, could you do a lesson with diagrams? I understand the major and minor pentatonic shapes, but when it come to the full major scale I'm wondering if there are just pieces of those I should focus on (or should I learn the full 5 shapes)? Cheers!
Thanks for watching. I'm going work on a video this week tht will cover a few different major scale shapes. Keep going one day at a time. Sounds like you are really connecting the dots.
Hi Paul! C major and A minor scales have exactly same notes, but they serve different functions in each scale. For example in Am scale the A note is a root note that feels like home while in C major scale the A note works as a major 3rd being an emotion note with more tension.
It really depends on your chord voicings and what you are trying to emphasize. If you are playing CFG...then a C would be more of the tonal center and I would try and weave around that note. If you are playing Am F G..then I would weave around the A note. Just think of the tonal center as your target notes. In the end...it's really up to you what sounds good. Hope that helps and keep soaking it in. :)
I just happened to be passing by and saw this video. Well, how come you didn’t notice that yourself? In my day (here we go 😎) I had never heard of pentatonic scales. I was just 13 and had a shitty acoustic guitar and my old man had a record player/radio. So you hear a song with a cool guitar part or solo and you figured it out. The kinda tough sounding bits I thought of as “sour” but then on other songs there might be some “sweeter” sounds. So…. sweet and sour. Pretty deep stuff eh. Then I noticed one day that if I played the tough sounding stuff say in A around the 5th fret starting with the 1st finger, that my pinky finger would be the starting note for the pretty (sweet) sound and eureka 💡 thus I had a way that got me to playing with great bands on big stages. So, don’t sell yourself short and wait for someone, or a book or video to explain stuff to you…. just keep your ears and eyes open. 👀
Do you understand how these scales are related? Keep going and check out our newsletter if you wish. Thank you. harrys-newsletter-2b7134.beehiiv.com/
Your lessons keep getting better and better! Team jellyfish!
Why thank you. Just trying to put them out while they are on my mind. ha. Keep going and thanks for watching. :)
You are on a roll! Another really helpful lesson to keep us going and getting better. I always learn something new and also get to review and reinforce what I have been learning. Thank you from the soggy Pacific Northwest! Kraken!
Awesome. Keep connecting the dots and watch out for the Kraken. lol
Now that is a great lesson
TY.
Anytime, and super stoked to help out, however I can. Thanks for watching and keep going.
You sir, thank you for this. Just the graphic that showed the shift in tonal centre got me good. Was all I needed personally...
Great. Just keep connecting those dots and adding to your musical catalog. :)

They are always listening. ha. Yeah, my teacher was great but neglected to show me a lot. I had to figure it out as I went along. ha

So Good man! Thank you so much !
Thanks for watching and keep going. Lots more to come. Have fun. Got a new camera and can't wait to shoot first video on it.
That’s very neat. Thanks Mr Elmore. Appreciate your time. Jellyfish! The correct number of guitars is always N+1. Where N=number you currently have.
😂 so true! Keep going
Super lesson thanks 🤝
Thanks for watching.
Team Jellyfish 🪼. It never gets old. Amazing what I can learn from these lessons. Inspiring! Thank you so much.
No worries at all. Just connect little dots here and there and you are off and running.
Very very helpful thanks I'm just up to this point best wishes Colin UK 🇬🇧 👍
Great. Keep going in the amazing UK. 🇬🇧
I love that blue Les Paul hanging on the wall.
It’s a great guitar. Can never go wrong with an LP. 😀
That G shape. Gotta start on that root. Good job.
Yes, lots of fun little ideas that you can make your own. Keep going. :)
I have short fingers. I just can't seem to reach those triads like you can. Or I will constantly pluck the wrong string. Uggggh!
It's okay, just see if you can get part of it and that can work too. The good part is these triads are all over the neck in different positions.
I love the idea of using your phone as a Looper cuz all I got to do is open the Samsung voice recorder and I can record a little riff any place back to my Bluetooth speaker that's sweet I don't have to buy a Looper that uses a battery or a power supply when I'm out there with my portable app I can just use my phone.... brilliant!

Thank you. Yes, sometimes I'm just jamming on the couch with an acoustic and I grab my phone and record a few bars to noodle over. Thanks for watching and the sub. Lots more to come and keep going. :)
Yes! Another set of triads for the collection with the inversions 🙌 🪼
Yes! Keep going. 😀
Very cool !!! gonna go buy a looper
Yeah, loopers are amazing tools and there's a lot of different ones, but they all do the same basic job. :)

Keep going 🪼
🐬✌️Team jellyfish,
Go Team go! 🪼
Great lesson brother….thank you
Anytime and glad to help out any way I can. Thanks for watching and keep going. :)
Oh the relationship between the 3rds C being the 3rd of A minor am I missing something or am I going down the right path
You are definitely headed down the right path. This is just and idea for you to use to put it together. Keep going.
@ thanks mate much appreciated

@ thank you
This was also a Eureka moment for me. Then everything makes more sense 😂
Awesome. Keep it going. Thanks for watching.
So the tonal center and the relative minor are the same thing?
It really depends on your chord voicings and what you are trying to emphasize. If you are playing CFG...then a C would be more of the tonal center and I would try and weave around that note. If you are playing Am F G..then I would weave around the A note. Just think of the tonal center as your target notes.

Where’s the triad playlist?
Here you go. :)th-cam.com/play/PLns2B3bkf4yl6LdDeUGwPdCclxcq6AzTE.html
@@mrelmoresmusiclab Thanks a bunch!
No worries and have fun with it.
@@toneblair No worries. Let me know how it's going my man. I just look at the guitar as a tool to get whatever sounds are in my head.

I got that shirt... in fact, I'm wearing it today.
That's awesome! :)
Never too many! Lol
Can you ever have too many Guitars? The answer is "You can Never have too many Guitars"!
Great answer! 😂
Great guitar!
Thanks for watching and keep going. Those inverted triads are some of my favorites. :)
dude get the blue box off the page cant seeeeee
