Pentatonic Scale Navigation Tips - Lead Guitar Lesson
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- This lead guitar lesson covers some basic ways to start navigating between your fundamental pentatonic scale shapes. If you have been stuck in one pentatonic box shape this video will give you some tactics and techniques to start flowing up and down the fretboard with multiple pentatonic scale shapes.
Many players like Eric Johnson and Joe Bonamassa are known for blazing up and down the neck using pentatonic scales. This ideas in this lesson will help you start doing that! There is even a jam track available to help you apply everything you learn.
You can download the Jam Track here:

Nice lesson Nate! You know I never once thought of pausing on the root, that idea sounds very promising. I'll definitely be adding it to my practice time. Thanks!
Reki34 Yeah, that works well to help memorize their locations and it sounds nice if you are playing over that same chord.
Thank-you for this, great lesson!
Unbelievable. A man with a guitar actually using his pinky and one finger per fret for efficiency of playing. This my friend makes you a guitarist as opposed to the many guitar hackers I see (especially blues players).
Thumbs up. Fabulous lesson and terrific technique with both fret and picking hands.
I thought this lesson had been deleted! Phew!!! Haven't watched it for three years but I'm ready for it now, by gum!
thanks a lot, greetings from Ethiopia. 6 years after the release of this vedio it is helping some one on this planet! thanks a lot creators, thanks youtube!!❤❤
Awesome teacher 👍
Hi Nate,
I'm new to guitar and I see you talking a lot about "root notes" in your scales lessons. Why are root notes so important? How do they come into play when we solo?
Root notes are the foundation on which the scale is built. For example, the root note of a G major scale is a G note. That is the home base, tonal center, or reference point for the scale.
Excellent LESSON! Eureka Moment tonight! Einstein would be proud. :)
Nate....AWESOME AWESOME! LOVE IT! Now get some damn sleep man! You look like you need it! hehe Thanks so much for making these vids.....I'm getting a ton out of them
nice and clear teaching thank you.
God bless
This is another good one. It has helped a lot.
Glad i ran across your videos! I'm subscribed.
Fantastic a bit too fast for me. Thank you very much for sharing your skill.
My instructor also recommended starting with root tonality shapes. I plan to pause while practicing scales too. Thanks for some great on -line videos!
Thank you for this cool lesson! Clearly taught too!
great lesson and very helpful need to tune into this guy more often
Next to A minor pentatonic scale
thank you ! fantastic teaching !
Gorgeous guitar... Musta cost you a pretty penny, sir!
il Solano Thanks il, it was pretty reasonable. It's a Les Paul Standard Light so it was only about half the price of a regular standard.
That's the LP I'd get myself. I think I'll torment myself and Google the UK prices for this model and weep!
Hi Nate . I am Shambo Roy . You told in this video that the next scale shape goes with D chord . I just want to know how to understand which chord is going with a particular scale shape . Waiting for your reply :-)
As always Nate, excellent tips!
I am thinking of taking your 26 week course. If I find it isn't working for me do you have any refund policy? And what is the difference between this course and just an annual membership to your website.
I learned the shape but I should also know the notes, just learning the shape doesn't help if you want to move around. Am I correct? Only playing 7 months.
One of the VERY BEST lessons I came across. Very creative and entertaining. GOOD JOB , KEEP IT UP! Thank you Nate.
Im liking this...what i have picked up is that there is a pattern relationship between strings and the scale degrees.Once you understand where you are in the scale you can pretty much grab notes from above, below and side to side in each scale...when u understand this all the scale forms start making a whole lot of sense..its not really 5 forms its really just one ..thanks a million for opening my eyes.
very good teaching. thank you very much for this techniques.
God bless.
Many many tnx from Iran 💯
Really good lesson Nate
great lesson, can you make some lessons on relationship between pentatonic and CAGED lessons. thanks
Still can't go that fast been practicing for months. Everyday or every other day for 2-3 hours when I get home from work. I'm also have a bitch of a time moving between chords specifically the D to G or the D to C. I can easily make the shapes but when it comes to moving quickly I always flub it somehow.
djkoz78 Keep the practice consistent and it will come. Keep your motions small, efficient and relaxed. Here is a lesson on changing chords smoothly. ua-cam.com/video/kzs_8iQ9b2A/v-deo.html
Dude, try changing how you hold your pick; it took me a while but the clenched grip (like a fist but with your thumb holding the plectrum against the outside of your index finger at the first joint) works a treat. Watch how Nate fingers each note depending on the scale too - precise fretting and practice helps build your speed. As does actually playing through an amp AND recording yourself playing over a Jam track! Your pinkie will soon start properly earning its keep!
Can't get to the Jam track.There is no link in the title. What am I doing wrong?
+Richard Griseto The link is in the description.
Simply awesome , thank you so much for sharing your knowledge !
Cheers!
Really liked this Lesson it was really helpful and just what i was looking for, Thank you.
it brings some satisfaction and scope,like when you learn to join up your writing.
nice video lesson,
practicing, thank you
I wonder if Nate gets tired of being asked if he’s related to Fred Savage? 🤔
I rilly love the way teach all or lessons...its really easy to understand..tank u soo much
One of the VERY BEST lessons I came across. Very creative and entertaining. GOOD JOB , KEEP IT UP! Thank you Nate.
+Lim Rave Thank you! :)
Thinking of chords and corresponding scales just made something click in my brain. : ) excellent thank you!
gbdaeye Good. Yeah, the guitar fretboard can be a pretty visual beast when it comes to seeing shapes within shapes and stuff like that.
Thanks for the really great lesson, Nate. I am just wondering, maybe you already mentioned it, why are you concentrating on the Major scales for soloing? The scale shapes (Maj./Min.) are all the same so the navigation should be the same too, correct?
Rockin' Z's Correct, they are the same shapes. It just depends what notes you emphasize. Emphasize the 1st scale degree and it's major. Emphasize the 6th scale degree and it's minor. If you can play the major it's just a matter of switching your mindset and tonal center. :)
Great lesson. The idea of stopping on the root is not only good to remember where you are, but it seems to train the ear/hand connection. Also, relating the pentatonic scale shape to the CAGED chord system is worthwhile in knowing where you are. Thank you.
Robert Rosenberg Yes, good points Rob.
Why is learning where the root notes are important?
Colseon Lamb In the beginning the root notes are like your land marks. They can also be your tonic or home base.
Appreciate your articulation and clarity of descriptions. Comprehensive and well worded. An easy to understand actual lesson. Showing of focus on stuck points is an intuitive empathy of phases! - - !+1
+Donald Burgo Thanks!
I have been watching your videos for a while, i thank you for the good work, i have never come to understand the concept behind 1-4-5 theory please explain to because most African songs are based on that theory.
George Muiruri Hey George, you should go through The Major Scale Masterclass. www.guitarsystem.com/majorscale/
It's very clear, damn useful. I watched the blues guitar quick start videos and found them nice too. Now I am actually thinking about joining the guitar system xD Thanks Nate.
luoda1110 Glad you found them useful.
This is a great lesson for me. I'd consider myself somewhere around an intermediate to advanced intermediate in terms of playing ability, but like others (I hope, lol), I have some gaps in knowledge in the terms of proficiency playing just as well no matter where I am on the neck when playing certain scales. Overall great way to improve my playing.
Also, anybody else find the playing at the very beginning extremely satisfying? Great mix of technicality and melody. How I strive to play haha
I noticed you touched a teeny bit on the CAGED method. Could you do an in depth on it? Also that is a Gibson Les Paul? What model and what is that switch beside the tone knob for?
Nana A. Boateng Hey Nana, most of the CAGED lessons I've done are in The Guitar System members area. Yeah, it's a Gibson Les Paul Standard Light. It's a plain top which is harder to find. The switch is a coil tap switch. :)
Excellent.. Thank you.
Nate, You made it look so easy!! Thanks so much for explaining with so much patience!
+smounche10 You're welcome. :)
can you do a video like this with the minor pentatonic scale and blues scale
+christian hansen We plan to do that in the future. :)
+christian hansen Keep in mind that the major and minor pentatonics use the same patterns. When you play C Major Pentatonic positions, you are also playing the A Minor Pentatonic Positions. :)
Great lesson! One question. Why is learning the root notes important?
Bryson Hillis In the beginning the root notes are like your land marks. They can also be your tonic or home base.
GuitarLessons.com thanks for the answer. Your videos help me out alot
how do you get the jam track?
best navigation tips ever...
have learned alot from you.
i didn't get that if i move from one shape to another do i have to move from rootnote to rootnote or do i just have to jump between the notes that both are the the 2 shapes?
+marcusfsproductions Either way works. :)
Talking CAGED
thankyou sir for your hard work : )
I'm stuck in a rut. I'm usually able to jam and come up with some interesting sounding riffs but for the past couple of weeks all I'm doing is playing the same thing over and over or I just end up going up and down the scale. Any tips?
+FernTheUA-camr Try playing melodies on only one string. It forces you to think about the sound the notes make rather than just playing a shape.
GuitarLessons.com Ok I'll give it a shot.
nice
this is nearly the answer to my long lost question. thank you nate
+maruata jongte Cool! No problem.
Just found you. I like this lesson!
David Jelsma Thanks David.
I have a quick question, what about the normal C major pentatonic scale on the 6th string? Can we still use it and mix it with the scale we learnt in this video?
The normal C major pentatonic scale is the first one I went over in this video. Is that the one you're talking about?
If so, then yes, you can mix it with the other shapes. :)
