What's the guitar you're playing here? I can't quite make out the headstock....
Its a Wide Sky P-125, amazing guitar! @@fangtwo
Very nice guitar!
This crushes...get yourself a loop of Fmaj7 to Dmin...and then play the F major pentatonic like you guys showed all the way up, but using nothing but octaves. Sounds unreal!!!! When you then start blending some sixth intervals and some of the minor blended, you are really into play for hours straight zone. Thanks for sharing dudes. If you want I would be happy to play over this and share what I mean. You gotta try this too Rhett. Especially those non-traditional style octaves most don't touch.
This link is not working.
Rhett!!! Thanks so much for having me. Such a great time.
You’re the man!
As a teacher myself, You are so clear in explaining, which Is great!
Daniel is one of my favourite people to jam with in the whole world and I like hanging with him, drinking quality IPA's even more! Killer player and killer dude.
He's a great cook too!
I have to agree 😁
I’ve been playing guitar for 25 years and this is the first time that I’ve had my mind blown since I learned about the pentatonic scale 24 years ago. After about five minutes of playing these patterns and training my ears to the notes, the baseline to born under a bad sign fell out of my hands, not out of memory, but because I could hear the notes in my head before I started to play them, and instinctively knew how to get to them. Now I can “see” the notes I’m playing in relationship to the root. It’s all right there.
Whoa!! Love that. Thanks for sharing.
@@DanielSeriffMusic thanks, but it’s all you! I can’t believe I hadn’t noticed that pattern before, or at a minimum just deleted the two extraneous notes from the major/minor scales when thinking in “penta” tonic. It’s like I’ve been wasting brain energy thinking about six strings and twelve notes and this pattern has freed up that space to understand what’s really happening in relation to the root.
George Benson mentioned in an interview that in his first years of playing he couldn't get the speed other players did playing vertically. He found that when he approached the neck horizontally (diagonally) it enabled him to gain speed, and he continued playing that way while working at and finally conquering his issues playing vertically. The end result was not only was he able to play the same licks horizontally as the others did vertically just as quickly (if not faster), but it opened him up to be an even more creative player and travel the entire neck at incredible speeds.
What's important is not sticking to one thing or another. What's important is playing in whatever way that makes you feel better about what you hear when you pick up your instrument, so you'll stay motivated enough to conquer your weaknesses.
There you go
Yeahhh!! Love to see Daniel getting this kind of recognition, he’s a great dude and a killer player too
Thansk bud!!
I bought Daniel's "Diagonal Pentatonic Method" and it helped me beyond belief, i thought i had a mental block on learning the neck of the guitar....i can go all over the neck now....almost instinctively....im still amazed. Im 73 three yrs. old and learning the method of Daniel's gave me the desire to keep learning the guitar...Thanks Daniel....all the best....Gary Morse
Gary!! Thanks so much man. Really appreciate you.
Rhett, that guitar is still one of the best looking guitars I've ever seen, and it sounds amazing! Great lesson too! This helps a lot!
What is it? I kept waiting for a shot of the headstock but it didn't happen. I'm guessing something custom? Beautiful.
@@brianhackett-jl3hc Im curious as well, looks a bit like a B&G little sister but never seen one in that finish before
Edit: rhett responded to someone else, its a wide sky p-125!
Awesome!! Great to see Daniel here! He's a great teacher and has been THE MAN online discussing the diagonal pentatonic!
Thanks bud!!
Daniel has been a friend of mine for quite a while. That he's a gifted player is obvious. But he's an equally gifted teacher! His ability to take nearly any fretboard fraction and reduce it to simplest terms is just amazing. I've dug Rhett online for several years. Glad to see him and Daniel get together! Like minds. Like personalities!
Thank you, Rob!!
Daniel is the man! Worked with him a few years ago and he blew my mind!!! Glad you guys got together!! Keep it up! Joe
Thanks Joe!
So helpful! Been working on this idea with my students but the 2-3 note patterns is the key to making it clear. Thank you!!
Thank you. So glad it was helpful.
Daniel is one of the best! Awesome to see him get this kind of exposure with Rhett.
My dude!
going thru the course and its awesome! thanks for putting this out there ds and rs!
Rhett, thanks in part to your videos, I picked up the guitar again after 20 years of barely touching one. I forgot more than I expected but it is also coming back at an OK pace. Thanks!
This is the guitar power duo the world needs right now!
👍🏻 bro the world sure does. i can’t hardly listen to anything in the charts these days.. all auto tune voice fry vocals and over produced mixes.. samples being played backwards . i like all kinds of music though find myself listening to more and more music from what feels like a bygone era. 🙈
Thanks Geoff!
Bro! Forget about the content of the video for a sec! RHETT WHAT IS THAT BEAUTIFUL LP STYLR GUITAR!! Holy s**t that's soo gorgeous!
Glad Im not the only one who noticed that. hopefully he replies.
Also, asking for a friend😁
Whatever guitar that is that Rhett is playing, it's a thing of beauty!
Thanks! Its a Wide Sky P-125
I love the tone! What amp are you playing through?
Wow loved you two jamming over that track. Helpful video thanks!
Daniel, I want to take a moment to say how much I appreciate the dynamic volume you put on your licks. My mind has been blown by the theory of this lesson alone, but I literally have never heard anyone use attack volume as a technique -- at least not like you. Love the channel Rhett! Keep the dope lessons and biography type videos coming!
Man, that is too kind! Thank you. :)
Seriff another great lesson. Brett that guitar punches in the mix. Great video!
Thank you!
I love love this! Getting out of the pentatonic rut and finding ways to do it.. this is great! Loving that it is so easy to know exactly what part of the scale I'm on just effortlessly.. No matter how long I've played all the pentatonic boxes, I always have to think a bit about the note I'm on. Thank you!!
Thank you so much
This just gave me a visual representation for the fretboard that I needed. Thanks Daniel and Rhett!!! 🙌🏻
Too awesome!
love that you have Daniel and know him! Been following him for a while. great player
Thanks Bob!
This is AWESOME! What a dope collab ❤❤❤
Rhett your tone is awesome today!!
What a lesson ⭐️ great info on here brilliant- thank you 👍🎶
I've been soloing like this for years I had no idea this is what it's called. Great video and I'm definitely going to practice this further.
Awesome!
That's so cool! I feel unstuck- love you guys!!!
Fantastic! Thanks for that guys, really helpful tip!!
So glad it helped
This is a great video. That was fantastic to play along with.
Awesome.
This is a cool video. A good watch. I stumbled on to playing like this a long time ago. I learned with a minor approach and have always struggled to connect major and minor but this is a good way of doing it without getting lost in the theory of it all and using your ear a little easier. That being said learning theory is cool
I watched the first three minutes of this and immediately saw improvement. Thank you!!!
Excellent playing , superb tone , and awesome lesson . I’m gonna be studying this for sure
Excellent. Thank you
Great easy to understand system, playing that within a minute! And i just saw Rhett holding my dream guitar, semi with a p90 and a humbucker, plus ultra cool look. WANT!
Thanks so much
I CAN NOT tell you how much ... this is one of the best Rhett lessons Ever! No kidding, this was really a useful overview and just the subtle playing you both did helped drive home the point. No crazy shred just a nice 'here is how to use the skill'. I am an older low level player and I've watched countless hours of useless videos and given the net is a nasty place for commentary I tend to just try and forget about it and move on but I'm going to try and spend YR2024 lettting those folks out there know when something is right and this is right. Nice Job. *going to look up Daniel now.
couldn't agree more. this is the first time ive even considered paying for online lessons.
Really appreciate that! Thanks so much.
Awesome!!@@drguitar78
Rhett’s guitar sounds sooo good!
fantastic lesson. Great playing. Thank you gentlemen!🔥
Thanks for the guitarist.
Wow.. his choice of notes is very unique. Great phrasing all around! Look forward to the course.
self taught guitarist right here, playing for 25 years...never saw this explained elsewhere so clearly. this explanation just changed my view of the instrument. mind blown.
So great to hear. Thank you
Daniel your feel is so good! Wow!
Thank you so much. I work on it a ton and it really wasn't awesome for a long time. There's some good stuff coming out in our next video on that.
That 1-2-3, 1-2 thing at 2:50 was taught to me by a guy I was giving lessons to! I had always struggled with boxes and it made so much sense! The guy was a very good player that came in for some theory and he actually showed me one of the more useful things. Totally the missing piece in connecting isolated positions in a fluid and musical way.
The best collab! Y’all rule! Go Daniel! Go Rhett!
Thanks bud!
That video helped me very much! Thank you!
Glad to hear it
Dang Rhett, you're tone is on fire in this video!
Awesome! thanks guys
Thank you!
Yes, love us some Daniel Seriff!
My friends!
This is the most useful video i have seem here! Nice
So glad to hear it!
This is how I learnt pentatonics, I didn't know what boxes were until after I learnt about CAGED, even now I don't think box 12345 like I see a lot of people doing, I think of the CAGED shape and overly the scale over the chord shapes,
Nice approach!
Nice explanation. I've been doing this for decades, but never thought about it with this diagonal image.
Nice!
Way to go Daniel! 👏
Thanks bud!
Great points and tasty playing guys!
Thanks Kerry!
This is how I learned it and it's now how I teach it! Good stuff!
Very cool
Super tasty licks in this one!
Thanks so much
Great stuff..! I drill all options in the pentatonic scales.. like you said..” Follow the octaves..”.. Thanks guys.!✌🏼
Thanks for watching
Great lesson and thank you for sharing. So many of us suffer from box myopia and we lose the musicality necessary for impactful playing. Once I get this under my belt, I suspect it is also a great model for incorporating some of those flavor notes from the modes. hey, i might be wrong, but you gotta make mistakes to know what sounds right.
You are right!
Great lesson!
Thank you
Let’s go Daniel! 🤘
Thanks bud!!
This is GOLD!
Thanks so much
Great lesson fellas ❤🎸🤘
Thanks so much
This was cool. I do like how those notes outside of the scale sound off across the backing track. It reminds me how it's argued by Miles Davis and others that there are no wrong notes.
That backing track groove is SICK!
Thanks!
From one of the camera angles, David’s guitar looks like a Starcaster shape. Got excited for a moment, would love if Fender started producing those again! Bought the Squier version and think it looks amazing.
Cool I leaned this way as well. Super cool seeing it explained.
Awesome
I have been playing in this style for 38 years. Lately I have been sprinkling in some Tim Pierce and wow has my playing really opened up..Rhett introduced me to him on his channel..As he did Daniel.. Thanks..
Great video.
Rhett's guitar is beautiful.
What is that?
@@lv6750I believe it’s a Wide Sky.
Love this!!! I am one of those "boxy" soloists. These tips are incredibly helpful. I'm definitely going to check out the course.
So glad it's helpful.
So glad it's helpful.
@@DanielSeriffMusic I purchased the course, and I'm enjoying it very much. Great job, and I will be checking your other courses soon!
Daniel is one of the best around!
Thanks Jordan! Hope all is great for you.
omg!!! Not anywhere close to a pro, but I have been doing this for 40 years. Only seen this covered once on TH-cam, and nowhere near as in depth. It really allows you to move more quickly, AND if you plug notes in the right places, you have your Dorian, blues scale, Major, Mixolydian, whatever, as long as you start in the right place.
Absolutely! It's so effective.
This is similar to what I used to do while learning. I remember going through and finding all the octaves all across the fretboard and then practicing by trying to solo only using 3-4 notes around each octave. Then I’d try to transition to the next octave up or down
very cool
Great video, I'm already doing a version of the diagonal pentatonic. His explanation sounded way simpler tho, I'm excited to give it a try.
Very cool
Absolute GOLD
Thank you
Great!
Thank you
That is how I learned pentatonic. My teacher had a background playing in the orchestra pit on Broadway so he had a unique approach. I teach my students the same war.
That backing track slaps
Very fun one by Rhett and his assistant, Chris.
Two excellent players.
thanks so much
hell yea! the intro jam is great! 😎
Totally
Gives is ol’ git new newbies inspiration and hope hope hope
Plus excellent demonstration of method to learn-practice-play
Thanks so much
Thank you @@philodonoghue3062
Cool approach! I tend to think of them as arpeggios as well. (Maj6/9) and (Min7/11).
A great way to teach guitar, simple and effective.
Thanks so much!
Corey Wong has a solid video with some pentatonic practice drills where you move vertically, diagonally, and horizontally. Been really helpful for me but also has made me a better player as I utilize some different movement s
Excellent!
Daniel getting the recognition he deserves! Oh yeah!!!
My friend!
This is a lesson for people who already know what they're teaching.
Funny 😂
I've been doing a series on this very method now for a few weeks!
Minor only so far. There's a 1, 2, 3 - 1, 2 pattern in pentatonic all across the whole neck.
Or if you'd like, 1, 2 - 1, 2, 3 pattern.
Great post Rhett!!
Awesome!
It was hard to pay attention to educational content with all of that tone. Great video guys.
HAhaha. My man!
Thank you
Thanks so much
Good advice, and it leads to much more musical sounding solos and licks. I must admit I've been playing like this since the 70s. I'm self taught from listening to records, as we all did, it's just how I learned to play. I've been teaching over 40 years and this is a big part of how I teach lead playing and licks too. This and chord tones.
But the main thing I want to know from this video is - Brett what is your guitar, I love it?
Very cool. It's a great approach
this is how i learned to play the pentatonic scales out of the lead rock scales books from hal leanord when i started playing guitar , my teacher advised me to buy these books 1& 2 ( minor and major )
Very cool! I actually originally learned the original idea from Marty Schwartz!
It's pretty cool hearing you talk about concepts I've used, but never had words for. One of my earlier "breakthroughs" for soloing while sitting in with the old guys I learned with was "octave mapping". That saved me whenever I sat in on tunes in keys I'd never played in. I'm gonna start thinking about this "diagonal pentatonic" thing too. Sounds really cool and helpful for moving around without thinking much.
Very very cool!
Man Wide sky guitars are good lookin.
I can dig this. I don't know why everyone wants to hate on the box so much though. There are 5 boxes. Use whichever one is efficient for where you are playing on the fretboard with your chords/triads and the voicing/octave you are looking for. I do find his pattern helpful though. Thanks for sharing!
Great Lesson, Guys. What is that stellar-looking LP Style Semi-Hollow?
Thanks. That is his Wide Sky
cheers,, i know the neck and that fits nicely and is usefull,,
When I saw good players playing Pentatonic patterns, they were usually playing diagonal 2-string groupings that could be easily moved an octave, retaining the same fingering, or playing 1-octave BB Boxes.
Definitely agreed
Oh Rhett, thats a pretty guitar! 🙂
Sounds great!! What is that guitar Rhett is playing?
Rhett, what guitar are you playing, looks and sound great!
Hi Rhett- big fan- appreciate this lesson!! Love your guitar- never saw the headstock- what model guitar is that!! You sound great!
Wide sky
perfect, this is something I've been wondering about to break out of the boxes
Excellent
Yay! 😊
Thanks
Nice simple trick, a useful pattern to help new soloists. BTW that single cutaway guitar is gorgeous! What is it?
