I've been playing for 20 years and had dozens of teachers during that time (including a jazz degree). No-ones been able to break down complex improvisational topics into bite-size pieces that I've been able to learn and implement into my playing almost instantly like you do. Thank you so much for the wonderful videos you're creating and how easily you're able to convey information
An easy way to remember the location of the 4th and the 5th is that the 4th is always directly below the root and the 5th is always directly above the root - except of course for the B string where the guitar is tuned to a third instead of a fourth so you have to 'add' a fret.
I am slowly getting to where I am no longer over thinking this stuff. If drunk folks in their 20s can master this stuff and rule the world, there is no reason why I can't figure it out easily. Awesome video, thank you for sharing!!
Hey Blue! Long-time subscriber here.. Just wanted to say.. Here We Are - 2024! Looking forward to seeing/hearing what you have in store for us this coming year!
Thank you! Happy New Year. Lots more coming to the channel this year. It won't be every week on YT, but there are lots coming. Thanks for your support!
What a good way to start the new year with an intelligent well thought out lesson from Mr. Blue. Happy new year. So I'll be memorizing the 5th's message (I got more to say) and its locations:(one on south-east and another one on the south). I got both of your soloing books and they are a great value. Thanks.
Fantastic video Blue. Thank you. Do you have a diagram or chart showing all 5 pentatonic shapes and chords and where the roots and 3rd, and 5ths are located in each shape / chord? Craig Ewinger
Hey Blue,,,,, just found your channel..... and like it very much...... I've learned a lot already...... I'm wondering if you have a lesson on the chord/scales connection for the minor chords.... like you do for the major chords.. which is very helpful..... Thanks so much for all you do for this community Blue.... Russ
Thank you! Glad it's helping! I don't have a video yet on a that kind of scale-chord connector for minor. But I do have this video which shows the relationship between the chord shapes and the minor pentatonic shapes. It's a similar approach: th-cam.com/video/Ivngg0yS4jg/w-d-xo.html
When playing over a 12 bar blues I thought you were supposed to target the root when playing over the 1 chord, the 4th when playing over the 4 chord and the 5th when playing over the 5 chord?
Absolutely! 5ths are the same in Major ... same distance apart. Thirds are different in major though. So we have to visualize the intervals with the major pentatonic shapes.
Great lesson My way is that The 5th is always immediately above the Root So if root is on 7th fret D string The 5th will be on 7th fret A string Only exception is when root is on B string Major or Minor pentatonic makes no difference
Thanks, more on targeting for thirds and sevenths are coming. I do have this one from a while ago that targets thirds in a particular way using enclosure: th-cam.com/video/rGmPOAu4rc0/w-d-xo.html

I loved this lesson. The root is like a period in a sentence and the 5th is more like a comma.
Thank you! Well said. They are a lot like punctuation in a sentence or a phrase :)
Good analogy!
And thirds are like ...
That is the correct analogy! 😊 cheers!
Brilliant-

GREAT INFO, as always!!!!! Have really missed you. I wish you did like a mid-week video also. Thank you for all you do for all of us
Thank you! I wish I could do two videos a week, but for now that's not possible. Maybe some day :)

Great lesson, this was a real eye opener. Is there a note that would work as an exclamation point?
Haha thank you. Maybe the minor 7? That might be pushing the metaphor a bit.
When playing over a 12 bar blues I thought you were supposed to target the root when playing over the 1 chord, the 4th when playing over the 4 chord and the 5th when playing over the 5 chord?
That is one option of many. That would Targeting the root of each chord. But you can also target other notes of each chord.
Mind........F-ing.........Blown.
Thank you! Lots more lessons like this on the channel and our Patreon group https:www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver
In major, be in C,?
Love your segment? Are any 5th,s in major?
Absolutely! 5ths are the same in Major ... same distance apart. Thirds are different in major though. So we have to visualize the intervals with the major pentatonic shapes.
Great lesson
My way is that The 5th is always immediately above the Root
So if root is on 7th fret D string
The 5th will be on 7th fret A string
Only exception is when root is on B string
Major or Minor pentatonic makes no difference
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The ends justify the means
Snark...Snark...Snark 👍
They're the best I've used :)

Absolutely agree 👍
Now do 3rds and 7ths.
Thanks, more on targeting for thirds and sevenths are coming. I do have this one from a while ago that targets thirds in a particular way using enclosure: th-cam.com/video/rGmPOAu4rc0/w-d-xo.html
