Modern Pentatonic Shapes: BREAK OUT OF THE BOX

- Modernise the Pentatonic scale & break out of the box with these fresh arpeggio ideas!
In this video, we explore combining adjacent Pentatonic boxes to create wider intervalic sounds. This gives a new visualisation for each of the Pentatonic positions as well as more interesting #pentatonic vocabulary when using these scale shapes on the guitar.
This concept creates modern Pentatonic #arpeggio shapes which we experiment with using different pattern variations and hybrid picking techniques. The ideas in this video should definitely add to your #guitar licks & vocabulary as well as give you a new approach to using the Pentatonic scale within your improvisational language.

I loved the minor blues scale hack, I've learned the first part....It's awesome and dammed well tricky to play. Thank you for the "HACK".
Amazing Robbie…you’re truly gifted
Interested.
God sometimes gives us a gift to shine light on our fret board. Robbie Barnby is such a gift and blessing. Thank you!
Sir
This is a nice sentiment for sure, but I would argue that gifts have far less to do with musical ability than practice and an intentional mindset.
The paradox about the pentatonic is that it is easy to play and to make it sound good when you're beginning, but it is tricky to make it not sound cliché when using it in more complex harmonic contexts or when you expand your musical concepts. Therefore, it's both a basic and an advanced scale. brilliant video, thanks!
The pentatonic minor never is an advanced scale.
It is a minor 7 chord with an add 4. Or you can think of it as a minor 11 with a dropped 2.
@@johnp.johnson1541 watch the video again. Do you really think a beginner would be able to use the pentatonic that way?
@@luizcadu You commit the fallacy of a straw man. No one said the guitarist is a beginner.
A nine-tone scale would be advanced.
Is an E9 chord played arpeggio over the neck an advanced chord?
Good luck!
@@johnp.johnson1541 Read again. I'm not asking if this guitarist is a beginner (he's obviously brilliant), I'm asking if you think a beginner would be able to use this scale like he does, in this harmonic context and with this choice of intervallic patterns. You're the one who said the pentatonic "never" is advanced, hence the question.
@@luizcadu No, you read again your own faulty premise.
Oh and beginners will watch this video and use the scale exactly as he has presented it.
It is a 5-tone scale. It is not advanced. It is what it is.
Total permutations of a 5-tone scale with tonic repeated = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120.
Total permutations of a 9 tone scale with tonic repeated = 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 362,880
Total permutations of chromatic scale with tonic repeated = 11 * 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 39,916,800
Please, learn.
Good luck!
Hey man, after some practice with that second position I can play the Simpsons theme pretty good now. Thanks!
I will vote now for him as Worlds BEST Guitar Instructor and I have been playing 35 years , you sir are an Unreal Great Guitarist and I Know what Im talking about .
It's always a good day when Robbie releases a new video. Thank you for the inspiration to get better on the instrument.
I really like this method and use it alot. Its a clean way of using all the sus4 and sus 2 soynds of the major/minor pentatonic scale. The whole problem on guitar with being stuck "in a box" is everyone is 1st taught one position and practice that way when really (like every instrument) everything should be practiced using 3 and 4 octave range.
On guitar it is alot more complicated and it takes alot of shifting and jumping like those 3nps pentatonics.
I try to practice everything using the full range of guitar and it should be taught more to do so.
Pentatonic 313's 231313's, 313313's 2nps, 3nps, 4nps
The major/minor scale
2 nps, 3nps, 4nps, 343434
Arppegios 212's 213's for example.
Wind instruments and piano is just straight up and down. Stringed instruments are completely different.
Excellent content!
Shades of Holdsworth :) Always interesting and challenging, Robbie!
Definitely some Holdsworth inspiration here!
Alan comes to one's mind immediately, however don't remember him doing these stretches, is it still legato approach?
Hey Robbie, thank you so much for your lessons. They really are outside the box! Fresh and inspiring 💪
Very cool idea - the applications for this are endless. I can see this as a great tool for breaking the usual cliched scalar sound of pentatonics without then falling into the other trap of just playing triad based arpeggios.
It immediately sounds like Coltrane on A Love Supreme to me - and played really fast it’s instant Richie Kotzen shred territory. Win win!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the comment!
I thinkyou're really close to the point, bravo!
Always look forward to your lessons! 🙏🏼
Jerry Bergonzi's book on Pentatonics is a great resource for this skip/step concept in pentatonics. A little hard to pull off on guitar but great for piano and sax. Nice work!
this sounds so beautiful
I was telling a guitar friend that you were playing in two different scale boxes at the same time, which confused him, but yep two boxes it is. Definitively a different twist, at least for me... Now, to integrate these twists and turns into my future guitar playing.
Thank you so much for leading us to the "think tank" this is totally different approach and concept for the pentatonic shapes how fresh! you are da Man!💯
Your lessons are great! Greetings from Argentina
Thanks for checking them out! Glad you like them.
👉 As always, fabulous video with amazing, enlightening content!👌 Thanks Robbie!🙏
Always excellent content and execution, Robbie. Thank you!
Thanks! My pleasure.
Это шикарный, удивительный и очень полезный урок, спасибо за новые знания!!!
Best jazz guitar channel. I've been experimenting with arpeggios and hybrid picking from your following videos, Maj79, MinMaj7, 7#119, -7b59, sus49, diminished, augmented, 713b9... Every color of every mode of every scale, the shape works and it's a perfect tool to visualize your fretboard... Great eye opening material man, can't thank you enough 🙏 👏
Wonderful lesson - gives an entirely different vibe to the five notes. Thank you! Subscribed!
This will surely keep me awake for whole night 🌙
Thank you so much!
You’re very welcome!
Excellent video. I cannot wait to play around with these pentatonic variations!
Great professor Robbie,thanks...
Thanks for watching!
this is gold! Thanks!
Super, Thanks!!!
Thank You:)
The best TH-cam Channel ❤️

Thank you🤗💙
Wow! This is a gem! Nice discovery! Thanks for sharing and making us better.
Great concept Robbie!
Excellent teaching! Thanks! Subscribed👍
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing!
That's a sick new way of constructing arpeggios. I see how useful it would be to practice with this pattern and use it in soloing with different contexts . Thanks!
Thanks to share with us.
Excellent, Thank You 👏 🙏
Brilliant video, mate. I really appreciate you took the idea and developed the concept around it so that your viewers can experiment on their own. I see so many TH-cam videos that only focus on "the licks" or, the complete opposite, very advanced jazz theory. Subscribed! 🤓🎸
Brilliant work 🔥🔥🔥❤️
Dang. Silky smooth and great idea
Thank you for this new idea to work on.
I've learned a lot from your video'! Many are a little above my level but also many, like this one, fits me right away. It may take weeks or months to really apply it, to make music from it, but eventually it will. Thanx!
That's amazing.
best lick lesson i ever had
Amazing stuff!❤
Amazing video, dude!
Thanks a lot!
Amazing. Congratulations.
Super vidéo 🎉 merci 🙏
Brilliant!
Muuuuuy interesante! Gracias.
so talented and good looking to boot - lucky bastard !
Thx for great inspiration!
Amazing lesson , pentatonic sound is interesting with these idea.. thanks
Great video, flawless playing and easy-to-understand instructions. Thanks for your efforts! I just subscribed.
Great lesson. I’m trying to breakout from normal boxes pentatonic playing and this helped 😀. Keep on going 👍
Thanks a lot! Glad it helped.
Very cool idea, thanks for sharing.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Great lesson
Awesome!
theory is great, skills are amazing,
Nice work! Thanks
Thx great video🤘
Amazing! Already practicing it!
@@Robbie_Barnby.. This is a Scam
this is gold for bassists
super cool dude!
What a killer take away!! Fascinating!!🤝💯🤟💥another ammunition, im gonna keep /add on my guitar metal skill repertoire.thanks mate,.&more power to ur high quality way of teaching.."ur a master"🤟💥
thanks for this video man. this reminds me of that intro lick in Jason Becker's Perpetual Burn. I've been trying to map what would be the other shapes for that so this is extremely helpful
Greate stuff! As I remember, Tim Miller talked about it!
It's so cool guitar lesson
Objectively, this Dude has matinee idol looks and PLAYS all that damn guitar! Seriously???? Its not fair! I’m green with envy!!! lol. I tipped his PayPal. Get ready to enjoy while feeling frustrated is all I can tell you. I haven’t felt like this since I got that George Benson video some years ago. lol. Robbie is the real deal.
Great 💜
Wow 🤯
Very smooth like melting ice-creame...♥️♥️♥️
Yes!! 🔥🔑🎸❤️
This is Great Bro
Amazing playing bro
a vibe of classical-jazz
I like this.
Great lesson! 👏👏👏
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for this
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
This is actually brilliant. I have been stuck for years at the point where I/ve added the blues note to the pentatonic and then I kind of play a hybrid natural minor plain major scale (since they're the same shapes as the natural minor scale patterns) over things to kind of get out of box playing, but I need something like this. Thanks!
Thanks!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
11:56 - LOL'ed at the random Am11 with synth overdub. thx for keeping it in! (also thx for a killer lesson!)
He's Back!
Came for the lesson. Stayed for the marvellous guitar tone. Ahhhhhhhhhh ...
Hella good lesson super creative use of pentatonics
Hope all is well brother!
