Excellent Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you tried - Riddleagan Skillful Playing Remedy (just google it)? It is a smashing exclusive product for learning complex guitar chords and become a pro without the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got amazing success with it.
the dog was never there. TheMatrix: Boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth. Neo: What truth? Boy: There is no spoon. Neo: There is no spoon? Boy: Then you'll see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.there is no dog...play the mystic scale
Im only intermediate and this simple tip is truly amazing. i would love to learn more on ethnic sounding scales and chord progressions. I haven't worked out how to incorporate them into punk just yet though!
So happy to find you. I'm a guitarist that grew tired of the simplistic western music. Rock, blues, metal, country... And with the electronic music it all got even worse. I'm Latin and I do like a lot of that Arabic & Gypsy classic sound on a guitar. There's something mystical, sexy and hypnotic in them. Even though I live close to those countries I feel like there's not enough of it around (if any!). Everyone just goes for that boring monotonous bass and beat music. The real geniuses are in Arabic and Latin music for sure. Not in these "push a button" and "copy-paste encyclopedia computer sounds" guys. Anyway, thank you very much for the tips! I wish there would be more in depth lessons because I think you probably scratched the surface. This stuff can be for very advanced guitar players
Another amazing lesson. I realize from your videos that you can get the most knowledge out of learning as many scales as possible. from there you just throw some chords on them and BAM!
Thank you. I tried to quiet so many times in the video and saw it in two days but at the end it was worth it. I understood finally what you meant and it was great great lesson. Thank you.
I’ve been playing a year and a half and learnt from youtube videos and i don’t know much or basically anything about scales and I just wanted to learn some new stuff and wow this video was so great. Thank you! You made it very simple and fun to learn!
I like your video but there is something i have to explain. What you explained being the Arabic scale (phrygian dominant) is actually played without the quarter notes, so it is playable on a guitar. This is also the case for the following ethinc Arabic scales (maqams): -hijaz (phrygian dominant) -kurd (phrygian) -nahawand (minor) -ajam (major) The following ethnic scales are not playable on a guitar as they contain quarter notes: -saba -bayat -rast I hope this is useful for you (:
LBM- THank you so much there are not many people who have the consideration to type in the tuning especially when it comes to Exotic Arabic Egyptian and Spaniard because they are distinct tunings that are played for a distinct purpose, 🤘👀🤘
He is trying to keep it simple and easy .Westerners get lost as Spanish music is similar and everything depends on c scale or rock and roll and most people improvise by ear or on modest u tube lessons that are okay but not perfect for all. It's all good
Thank you for the helpful video. Arab music has a lot of scales (maqam), some are without quarter-tones such as the major, minor, harmonic minor, phrygian, phrygian dominant, locrian, and more. Some scales are in quarter-tones such as Rast and Saba, sometimes they would intentionally play a regular scale but flatten or sharpen a note by a quarter-tone or by an eighth-tone.
'Indian tonality is crazy, so let's not get into that.' XD If anyone wants that specific scale btw in C# it goes c# e g a c# But you can play around with the the C and D notes too.
i searched youtube for months to find a channel that covers the stuff yours does and never found one. this morning i found your channel and im so glad i did you explain stuff so clearly. cheers
man I'm Portuguese so it wasn't confuse or hard at all to understand and I could easily play all those scales and I actually came here because our national music the Fado is actually filled with these Arabic scales
I'm so happy I found your channel. You know your theory and technique 👍 subbed immediately! Love your dogs too! Very generous of you to take the time. Aloha!
Splendid and unique music and play device too, it shows your talent and the ability of ruling the art music very well. I tribute your music is the best. The charm of your voice remained the top during entire recording therefore, you certainly deserve lots of likes. keep up uploading please. Best regard
For anyone interested in non western music check out. Flamenco (spanish classical) and Gypsy Jazz. I'm a huge fan of Jazz and classical of all variations but those 2 mentioned above are among my favorites
I think this video shows in a little way that not only are types of music throughout ethnicities are similar and maybe the people are similar too. Music is the universal language
Niiiiiicccceeee...... NEW TAYLOR! Such a gorgeous guitar... gorgeous, other than the Taylor Koa guitars (my favorite Taylor style) and Mahogany/Tortoise Shell (my favorite guitar finish), that wood type and grand auditorium style is one of my top choices. Thanks again, your channel has been so valuable to me
im very glad to learn this lesson. but, can u please make a video with the scale pattern of arabic and all other scales, with the whole tone half tone, please say about the scale notes, thanks u sir,
Maqam is 8 notes, there is something called "jins" which is 4 notes. The one you play at the beginning (interval 1/2 - 1 1/2-1/2) is jins hejaz in Arabic music theory. An actual mode without a quarter tone, no approximation necessary :)
awesome video, i love metal, I'm so inspired by this sound when I play or try to write my leads.. And now.i know what it actually is in going for. And not getting lost as often haha. thank you
OMG... i lovyeww Man... you're awesome... i love to watch your videos which helped me more and more to understand guitar... stay blessed and keep smiling always... you're the Master of Guitar :)
Thats awesome like always by the way :-) thanks you for great explanation, so unusually to see you with new guitar, I'm going to miss the previous one, but this one is looks fantastic and sounds breathetaking for me ! Hello from Latvia !
I love the sound of your guitars, especially the Santa Fe. Could you please do a video talking about fingerstyle and playing acoustic without a pick? I play nylon guitars but I love the sound of steel string for finger style. I have a vintage Yahama 10 that takes steel and nylon. Your videos are fantastic!
Those quarter notes are known also as micro tones. Check out microtonal guitars or fretless. I play the double bass and guitar. so I can get those microtones on the upright. It's very fascinating stuff though. Great job at making it simple for those who don't know or understand theory. Once I learned more advanced theory the doors just opened up to new heights for writing music and playing with people.
Great. Informative and entertaining. Balkanic (or Balkan) and Baltic is not the same, and is to be corrected, as Balkanic is what is meant here. Balkanic means Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Greece, Turkey etc. Baltic means Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia.. That can be corrected at least in the description, as a whole region's musical herirage being ascribed to a whole other hugely different region ruffles feathers.

That Arabic scale exist in Arabic musical academia. It's called the Hijaz Scale or Maqam Hijaz.
Thank you
هذا صحيح ... أسمه الحجاز
Does it still exist, can you please share a link?
It is also called Phrygian dominant. Or the 5th mode of the harmonic minor scale
THANK YOU! why does he have to call this exotic ?
I am so impressed with your knowledge of our Arabic scales and sound with quarter notes

I like the Em diminished dog scale. Made him disappear instantly!
Lol... Literary diminished......
11:25 Holy Moly! That Em Chord Made The Dog Disappear!!!
Holy crap! You're E minor chord made your dog disappear! Can you teach me how to do that?
Jay Nichols LOL 😂
Jay Nichols looool
The dog giving side-eye right before that is priceless. :)

Nice that you mentioned the arabic microtonal difference :). I learned a lot thank you so much!
Best part of the video!
This scale is pretty commonly used in Indian classical music too and it is called Bhairavi
Good lesson. You just explained the beauty of fusion, of different musical cultures , of this planet. they are all beautiful in their right space.
So happy to find you. I'm a guitarist that grew tired of the simplistic western music. Rock, blues, metal, country... And with the electronic music it all got even worse.

Being Albanian, I appreciate this tutorial - helped me - Thank you

Glad I could help!

Amazing lesson as always. I love your approach to teaching. You consistently provide very approachable paths to what is often complicated material.
Excellent tutorial. I really like that rather than focusing on specific licks, you give the overall concepts at work. I find it very intuitive.
I like your video but there is something i have to explain. What you explained being the Arabic scale (phrygian dominant) is actually played without the quarter notes, so it is playable on a guitar. This is also the case for the following ethinc Arabic scales (maqams):
-hijaz (phrygian dominant)

-nahawand (minor)
-ajam (major)
The following ethnic scales are not playable on a guitar as they contain quarter notes:
-saba
-bayat
-rast
I hope this is useful for you (:
Can you please let me know the tuning' s of Arabic guitar, since no one else can include them
@@dawnjohnbronze8500 a standard 6 pair strings tuning is FADGCF
LBM- THank you so much there are not many people who have the consideration to type in the tuning especially when it comes to Exotic Arabic Egyptian and Spaniard because they are distinct tunings that are played for a distinct purpose, 🤘👀🤘

But you can play around with the the C and D notes too.
Arkaprava Bhattacharya
He is correct, you know? it's pretty f'd up ( indian tonality i.e.)
that's why it's Indian. we find simplicity in complexity.
Beautiful
It's a musical curry
Thank you too!! Great
7:24 the dog on the left is like "thats not how you play it my guy"
Yeah!! Well, no. Not really.
Plot twist: the dogs taught him how to play.
Excellent lesson/discussion. Really useful and very enjoyable to learn. Thankyou💫👏
Exactly what I was looking for, I too love my guitar, dogs and wife. God bless
0:05 THAT SMILE, THAT DAMN SMILE

Best teacher ever
Thank you for this video. It was very informative and helpful for me. All the best for your future endeavours. Much love from India.
im very glad to learn this lesson. but, can u please make a video with the scale pattern of arabic and all other scales, with the whole tone half tone, please say about the scale notes, thanks u sir,
Being a newbie to guitar, I appreciate this video. I believe Metallica used these types of techniques and Nile really utilizes these unusual scales.
I love using these solos. They set me apart. Thanks for the video.
it impossible to don't suscribe if you are teaching with your dog!
Thank you!
That was so good man, many many thanks!
Maqam is 8 notes, there is something called "jins" which is 4 notes. The one you play at the beginning (interval 1/2 - 1 1/2-1/2) is jins hejaz in Arabic music theory. An actual mode without a quarter tone, no approximation necessary :)
You are a great Teacher....
Yes. Phyrgian is fun to play for hours and hours. Did that when I was a kid.
You are the king of youtube dude👊
WILL THIS WORK ON THE Hooka?
thank you ,you really know how to explain it easily without all the theory ,thank you !!!!
Such a great lesson and dude, you are so engaging. Thank you for expanding my guitar voice!
A very useful lesson. Many thanks! Exactly what I was looking for a long time.
I'm really digging ur videos, appreciate your instruction!!!
Wonderful performance
there is nothing more exciting than some good middle eastern plucked scalesss ong
Wow, a very fine lesson - thank you from Germany
That intro, this subscribe button.
Good lesson. What about this free 3hours workshop?
4 note scales in Western Music are called TetraChords.

thank you so much for this video. a well deserved thumbs up and a sub. I will be watching this many many times
dude I love these lessons !
That lick at 3:32 was sick dude! How do you play that?
great video, for your information, not all Arabic maqams havee quarter notes for example, maqam Nahawand is just E minor or C minor scale
Interesting scale. Thanks for the information to practice on. Cool 😎 too!
The first lesson is the Indian classical raga called Mayamalavagowla
Much instructive. Such make sense. Very logic.
OMG... i lovyeww Man... you're awesome... i love to watch your videos which helped me more and more to understand guitar... stay blessed and keep smiling always... you're the Master of Guitar :)
