Dude, thank you so much. Especially for explaining it so simply and not like everyone’s a damn Nashville session musician already. I’ve been through a ton of videos of guys just running through the concept in unnecessarily difficult ways. Again, a thousand thank yous!
I'm twelve years old and have playing guitar for a little over a year now. You have helped me so much and now i'm able to play blackbird, stairway to heaven, and different solos such as, Knockin on Heavens Door(G n' R), Sweet Child o' Mine Opening Riff, and Patience to name a few(I do love me some Guns n' Roses solos!) You have helped me so much and have made my dad envy how easy it is to learn songs now a days. I'm traveling Europe and Asia and had to leave my guitars, but got a 1/4 guitar to travel with and have progressed so much on that! You inspired me to buy my ukulele and experiment with new ideas. I wish your channel the best of luck. Next purchase of mine, a mandolin!
Me too, my only gripe is the mixture of note names, intervals and fret positions. Maybe it’s me but I think fret positions is like painting by numbers.
Mind DOUBLE BLOWN. After 5 years of teaching myself and playing major pentatonic scales, I just realized theres a D shape in the top corner of A rooted major pentatonic scale
Yeah, it’s really about knowing what chord tones are underneath you at any given moment and when to not let a major third ring out. It’s often a lot of fun in a progression like this to let the major third lead into the minor third or vice versa. Minor third into major third into tonic (E here) can sound jazzy or even country if you keep doing it haha
The topic of avoiding the maj3 really throws me off as it goes against the grain of other lessons I encountered. Maybe is just based on this specific scenario and the specific chords been used. As a beginner I’m confused.
Cool so we can start the pentatonic shape in two different locations. Is this more for each chord, or the whole progression? Good tips about treating any off sounding notes like blues notes and half bend if needed.
Killer stuff. I think the best way to explain it is that you can play E major pentatonic (AKA C# minor pentatonic) instead of E mixolydian because all the notes in the former are also in the latter. Using different C# minor pentatonic boxes also creates some nice opportunities to pull off and hammer onto E major based chord tones.
Hey Marty! Got a serious question for you. I’m local here in Mission Viejo. And, I want to know who and where do you get your Guitar worked on?? I have an axe that needs some work and I was curious who you recommend in that dept... thanks so much! Huge fan! Keep rocking brother :)
Marty, how about a new series, "Mode Monday" What chord progressions call for what mode? What chords to add to a I IV V to get a mode sound? etc...etc...etc
I've gotta get me an AMP. Maybe a Vox,? Dunno. Gotta get my EL G going. This is good stuff. I've been learning how to play across the guitar giving it that sound 🔥
You're mainly just using the first position for pent minor and major, just separated by 4 frets - however, can you do all 5 positions for each (holding the same fret spacing for minor vs major)?
Don 555 didn't mean if HE could do it ;) just wondered if its okay to play the entire minor or major scales over top of the chord progression .. Provided the chords permit it, i suppose
Yes. Pay attention, as Marty repeats pretty often, to tonal center. Subtly different fingerings lend themselves better to a minor or major position. (As a sortcut of sorts, think along the lines of ending licks in major positions on a note fingered by your index finger. In minor positions, you're more often ending a phrase with a third or fourth finger.) Short answer, yes. Relative major position is three frets towards the headstock from minor, everywhere.
Man 👌 I feel stupid! LOL everybody's brain works differently. Mine processes things slower than most it seems. but honestly thank you! I guess watching you from the other side of the fretboard 🤯Boom!!!! I said to myself oh my God I'm all over top of this! And you put it all in perspective thank you!

More Marty please! do it for the intermediates
Bro this guy literally has hundreds of video.. Everything you could want has been covered by him
.
Lol he’s been doing for the intermediates!
Dude! U need a new guitar bro, that one is all damaged
;)
been playing for 4 years, been wondering to connect this the entire time. blew my fuckin mind. keep rockin brotha
My guitar teacher has been trying to ram this into my thick skull for 3 weeks. The clears it up a HEAP! Thanks:-)
Love these technique/theory videos
Me too, my only gripe is the mixture of note names, intervals and fret positions. Maybe it’s me but I think fret positions is like painting by numbers.
Roses are red,
violets are blue.
Wonder how Marty looks without hat?
I dont have a clue.
No, Marty's full of hair under his hat. I guarantee you that.
He’s like Slash, it’s all in the hat
handsome
Mind DOUBLE BLOWN. After 5 years of teaching myself and playing major pentatonic scales, I just realized theres a D shape in the top corner of A rooted major pentatonic scale
One of the best lessons on how to use scales...works for me.
I practice this mixing major and minor all the time.
Waiting for the Dr.Seuss book, Guitar Teacher with Strat in the Hat.
Great lesson Marty.
All time great guitar teacher Marty Sir
Man you are a grae==eat musician and a great teacher. I play Afro-Jazz, Now You've helped me extend my flavours and touches. Thanks, youngman.
You should emphasize that minor and major are the EXACT same shape. 4 frets apart. Love your channel.
Good video. Thanks for not spending an hour plugging other stuff. That's why I still watch Marty
I know I'm 5 years late to the party, Marty. But your explanation and demo jumping back and forth really opened my eyes. How did I miss this?
Marty is a great teacher man
That A note with the major pentatonic is called the Major Hexatonic scale. Or the Dicky Betts Scale.
I think that Strat as far as tone goes gets my vote over your Red Strat.🎸🇦🇺
Marty looks awesome with or without a hat, love you Marty!
This video has helped me with something I have struggled with for the longest time. Thank you so much!
2:32 Marty flex 💪
At the very beginning, you say the 10 - 12 box on the D & G strings work but you meant the 12 & 14th frets on the D & G strings.
Really nice to be in the school of Marty! Great video.
Good info! That major 3rd shouldn’t be avoided at all costs though. It can be pretty useful to build tension if used at the right time.
Yeah, it’s really about knowing what chord tones are underneath you at any given moment and when to not let a major third ring out. It’s often a lot of fun in a progression like this to let the major third lead into the minor third or vice versa. Minor third into major third into tonic (E here) can sound jazzy or even country if you keep doing it haha
Yeah, it's all feel.
The topic of avoiding the maj3 really throws me off as it goes against the grain of other lessons I encountered. Maybe is just based on this specific scenario and the specific chords been used. As a beginner I’m confused.
thanks I was in a major gutair rut thank you for getting me out of that rut.
Thanks Marty! My playing keeps getting better after watching your vids! Keep it up!
Wow Marty got a relic for this video.
Great lesson. I took away a whole lot. Adding that 4th in the major penta. is very cool. Thanks Marty. You're still the best.
Cool so we can start the pentatonic shape in two different locations. Is this more for each chord, or the whole progression? Good tips about treating any off sounding notes like blues notes and half bend if needed.
Congrats on 500k!
perfect lesson for me...love the melodic leads...thanks
I see why memorizing scales is important when you start combining these scales
So much fire in these tones Marty!
Super lesson and great simple execution of minor and major
Cheers Marty
All of your videos are great, but this is one of the greatest of the greats! Really helps put it all together. Thanks!
Congrats with the 500k subscribers! Well deserved
This is a great lesson Marty. And I love the Strat.
I love explanation of this guy!
This what i need. Thanks marty!
As usual you explain things in a simple to understand way. Great lesson!!!
Sounds awesome very Anthem of the sun
E7#9, G, A
More like purple haze imo
Tastee chit mon. Very nice, thanks Marty
Marty your such a good guitarist, well done!
And teacher as well, not everyone who is good at something is also good at teaching

Purple Rain, Purple Rain, Purple Ran, Marty Schwartz🎸
From the Philippines
Congrats on hitting 500K!
As Always, great stuff !
The bonus 10-12 B string , love it
Rock and roll!
Can i play minor pentatonic over major key? Say suppose a minor pentatonic over. A key of A Major?
I'm definitely gonna rewatch this while I'm on my axe but if I'm not mistaken is that an Mexican strat (trust rod is at neck pickup area)
500.000 subcribreesssss broo congrats
Great lesson.
MARTY!!! I'm giving you 500,00 congrats on reaching 500,000 subs! Thinks about it! You're halfway to one million subs! Keep up the great work man!
500K is only days away. Could happen this weekend....Maybe during FB Live! Got to love it!
Love that groove! Gonna find me a Higher Ground backing track and see what happens... Thanks, Marty!
love that lesson thanks
Basically if it’s a major key and it’s a bluesy kind of song, you can mix major and minor using minor pentatonic shape?
Great tone
Great lesson!!
Killer stuff. I think the best way to explain it is that you can play E major pentatonic (AKA C# minor pentatonic) instead of E mixolydian because all the notes in the former are also in the latter. Using different C# minor pentatonic boxes also creates some nice opportunities to pull off and hammer onto E major based chord tones.
Been waiting for so long, thanks Marty for sharing your knowledge!
Can you break down that string bend bit at 6.55-6.57?
hey Marty...Hoping you can answer a question about this vid. Why the G chord? it's not in the key, is it? Is it a ''Jimi thing"?
ANOTHER AMAZING LESSON!!!! THANK YOUUUUUU
Great video Marty. You should teach the Rolling Stones backstreet girl it's a great song.
i've seen u many times before but this video made me click that subscribe button. keep it up :D Thanks
That guitar😍😍😍😍
Cracking stuff mate..
Loved this one Marty. Love your groove. Nice 👊
Very helpful👍
Marty which loop pedal are you using and which guitar efect are you using for blues now
Hey Marty! Got a serious question for you. I’m local here in Mission Viejo. And, I want to know who and where do you get your Guitar worked on?? I have an axe that needs some work and I was curious who you recommend in that dept... thanks so much! Huge fan! Keep rocking brother :)
Marty, how about a new series, "Mode Monday" What chord progressions call for what mode? What chords to add to a I IV V to get a mode sound? etc...etc...etc
So kinda switch between major and minor in a call and response way?
Nice, fat, strat-y tone on those opening licks !!
Can you do some slash style lead guitar lessons?
That's the groove I'm after
Another ace one marty. Opened up another door. Have you listened to michael kiwanuka latest album?
I've gotta get me an AMP. Maybe a Vox,? Dunno. Gotta get my EL G going. This is good stuff. I've been learning how to play across the guitar giving it that sound 🔥
Me too.
I've got a Roland Micro Cube but I need something with more BOOM.
Friedman Dirty Shirley Mini would be fun.
Kinda pricey though.

Great Again!! :)
THIS strat!!! Please sell it to me!!!
That mean if i play E7#9 (the #9 is minor note on key of E major) so i can mixing the major and minor pentatonic right ?
Man 👌 I feel stupid! LOL everybody's brain works differently. Mine processes things slower than most it seems. but honestly thank you! I guess watching you from the other side of the fretboard 🤯Boom!!!! I said to myself oh my God I'm all over top of this! And you put it all in perspective thank you!
That helped me a lot! Thanks!
I like it!
Marty, are you basically talking about E Dorian?
Love it where do u get your guitars
