Dude, thanks for picking up on this!! Very cool. To give you a bit more real life usage, over ii, V, I: ** ii chord: start pentatonic minor on the 5 of the chord (Am7, play Em pentatonic) ** V chord: start pentatonic minor a minor 3rd up from root note of chord (D7, play Fm pentatonic) ** I chord: start pentatonic minor 1/2 step below root of chord (G, play F#m pentatonic) ** (BONUS) VI turnaround chord: start pentatonic minor a 3rd above root of chord (E7, play Gm pentatonic) As you can see, the pentatonic minor scale moves up a fret each time the chords changes. This helped me learn jazz. For the altered pentatonic (you can play a lot of SRV stuff this way): ** ii chord: start altered pentatonic on root note of the chord (Am, play Am altered pentatonic) ** V chord: play the exact same lick a minor 3rd up from last line, which is also a whole step down from root of V chord (D7, play C altered pentatonic) Good luck, everyone, it's easy to grasp this with some practice!!
@@beneunson You are so uniquely skilled that it wouldn't matter what pick you are using but I must tell you that if you go back to the purple sharps, I will notice...haha!
basically the chromatic pentatonic approach on a II V I. Say for example dm7 g7alt and cmaj7(how original). on dm7 you play a minor pentatonic, on G7 Bb pentatonic and on Cmaj7 you play B pentatonic.

Absolutely - thank you so much for sharing your insight on my previous video! And once again, fantastic insight right here! I really appreciate it 😀
I love the pentatonic scale!
Very useful scale! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for responding to me on your previous video. Just got around to watching this and didn't disappoint.
So glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful sounds, great lesson. Thanks Ben
Thanks for watching, Oscar!
Brilliant explanation Ben, thanks for this
So glad you liked it!
Excellent as always but for a second I didn't recognise you without your Dunlop Purple Sharp pick!
Haha, that's amazing you noticed! I'm trying the Dunlop Tortex Pitch Black 1.14 - slightly more rounded edge. I'm liking it so far!

Excelente clase muchas gracias Ben
Thank you so much for watching!
Love the new guitar!
Thank you so much!
Excellent
Thank you so much for checking it out, as always!
basically the chromatic pentatonic approach on a II V I. Say for example dm7 g7alt and cmaj7(how original). on dm7 you play a minor pentatonic, on G7 Bb pentatonic and on Cmaj7 you play B pentatonic.
That's definitely a great approach!
Wow.
😀
My 'trick' is to treat the pentatonic as a 2 string pattern.
Great suggestion! Thanks for watching
saludos y gracias
Thanks for watching!
Wow that guitar sounds beautiful, Ben! Is it semi-acoustic or fully hollow?
If I remember correctly, this one with the smaller body is fully hollow. 90% sure
Yes you're right, it's fully hollow! Thanks for watching!
Pentatonic minor a half-step below M7 chord = Lydian :)
Absolutely right! Thanks for watching, Jade!
