Hi Emma , that was so helpful. I’m so impressed that you have a unique and easy to understand way of teaching. Many folks with high playing skills sadly haven’t a high talented teaching skill, you have both . God Bless You 😇Young Lady 👴🏼🙏🏽🇦🇺🙂
Thanks so much for this video, you've explained some musical theories (how to build up a key from its root node, and how to build a pentatonic scale) in such a simple and elegant way I finally get it completely, I've been struggling with those for some time as most explanations I've found were too complicated and obfuscated. Thanks a lot
Hi, I really like this lesson. I’ve been playing mandolin for a long time and I play Celtic, chord melody on my own and I go to Bluegrass Jams. I can play a solo on any Bluegrass Song using the Pentatonic Scale, playing the melody or playing out of chords. This lesson was very helpful for me because in Bluegrass Solos I really think I should be adding those Blue Notes. Thank you for posting this!
The way I remember the major scale is using: do re mifa so la sido. Mifa en sido are half steps, that is why there is no space in the middle. The same can actually be used to remember other scales (modes) such as the minor scale. Start at another place, for the minor scale start at la. We get: la sido re mifa so la. Super easy, super fast (I think).
@@emmabordersmusic Thank you! Incidentally, it is also very useful for singing. If you want to sing the Dorian scale for example, start singing "do re mifa so la sido re" . Everybody can do that since the Sound of Music came out. Then start at "re" and sing "re mifa so la sido re". Everybody can do that too. But not many people seem to know they can. No need to memorise all these modes separately. My compliments for your channel! I think you are both a superb player AND a superb teacher, and that combination is rare.
hi Emma. Good tutorial. Maybe you can expand on it and show the same blues scale in closed position. And also, perhaps in additional video, how to move this scale to another key such as G, A or C. Thank you.

Wow I’m so glad it made sense for you!
Thank you for teaching with so much love Em. May God bless you.

Ohh yes that makes sense!! I’ve never heard of that before, but that is a great way to think about it!

Very useful though it made my head hurt a bit thinking back to music theory and how much I forgot. Thanks for sharing
Haha😂 Thank you!
Very clear Emma. Thanks😊
Thank you for watching!

Those are great ideas! Thanks for watching!
She actually did explain how to move it to different keys in the video.
