The minor pentatonic scale is an invaluable tool that all guitar players should learn and master.
However, it is not without it's pitfalls, ESPECIALLY for aspiring blues guitarists who often find themselves stuck in pentatonic prison, with no end in sight...
In this free blues guitar lesson, I'll be explaining exactly why I think that the exclusively minor-pentatonic-based soloing approach that many blues guitar players take, is leaving them unable to play solos that highlight the chord changes in the way that the likes of Robben Ford, Joe Bonamassa, Matt Schofield and Josh Smith seem to do, effortlessly...

Been enjoying a few of the recent videos so got the book.
Sure I'll find it very useful.
@@chrisegonsearlemusic Thank you!
The Minor Pentatonic will always be an invaluable asset to guitar playing in virtually any context, but it should never be the apex of learning guitar. Learning more theory and how it corresponds with the guitar has absolutely been fun and has made creativity so much more possible. Cheers as always Ross.
You truly are the GOAT of the comments section my man thanks for the support 🙏
@@RossCampbellGuitarist Ahh thanks for those kind words. Just great content that I appreciate in learning and absorbing knowledge for!
Dude, when you talk then I listen! Another very helpful lesson! All the best from Belgium 🫶🏻🇧🇪
Thanks for the wisdom!
Jumped across and watched the video. Decided to buy the book about ten mins in. Great work, can't wait for it to arrive to start working though it.
Just ordered book on basis of this wee lesson. I had bullet proof v1 Ross and you have come a long way pal the delivery and quality of this video as well as content are top notch- well done 👍
Appreciate your straight forward no apologies approach.
Thanks for the book Ross, I'm at chapter 5 and so far enjoying the refreshing content and writing style. I've just finished downloading the comprehensive support material (it was large) and keen to look at some of your other courses! cheers!
Thanks Paul!
This book really is a game changer. I took Ross’s advice and have been practicing the material in this book over and over for a number of months (since the book first came out). That has really paid off. Finally got to the point where I can solo over the entire 12 bar blues mixing and matching licks using the vocabulary from the book. Thank you so much Ross! Keep up the great work :) In the future, I think it would be cool if you did a similar book, but focusing on playing the changes over a minor blues.
Ross I watched you master class it’s unreal bro top notch im Gona go over it again every day for a week !! So true about soloing on your own without a band or backing track it’s not easy anyway great job man I bought your book !! Brian 🇮🇪🇮🇪🎸
Brilliantly explained Ross in 12 minutes, such a quality upload!
I have this book (the Kindle version, it's very affordable) and it is very informative. Ross steps you through the process in a way that makes it very easy to understand.
Brilliant growth is found at the end of comfort and beginning of pain ✨️
Good man great content as always. Just looking at your image - I see a bit of colour banding on the background - you should look into shooting with 10 bit colour depth 🙂
Dude, thanks to bulletproof guitar 2.0 I actually understand what you are talking about. I agree with everything you said, thanks for helping me out of this creative pit I had fallen into. I cannot wait to master everything you throw at me!
I’m in chapter 5 of your book. It is well written, clear and to the point. The licks are interesting and fun to play; with the videos I feel like I have my own private teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thank you Renato 🙏
Great video! Great book!! 🎯
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it
Looking great Ross! Thanks for another great video. You rock brother! 😎👍🏻
Thank you man!!
You are an awesome teacher, great respect to you Ross
Thank you 🙏
Tout a fait d d'accord, il faut utiliser la gamme mineure mélodique ou la gamme mixolidienne
I was stuck in the pentatonic for years. One day I just tried looking at the chords underneath in more detail. That's when the major 3rd me!. No UA-cam back then. Great video
Thanks Steve! Yup looking at the chords is a huge step in the right direction
VERY helpful lesson
🙏🙏
Ross Love your playing and your philosophy beyond pentatonic. I am tempted to buy your book as it pinpoints exactly where I need to make progress. I have one major reservation. I would much prefer a ring back binding allowing for easy placement on a music stand.
I bought one of Justin Sandercoe’s early publications with a paperback binding and it was useless. I note that he later changed to a ring back binding.
So for now I will postpone buying what looks to be an excellent book until such time as it may be produced in my preferred ring back binding format.
Best wishes for a big success with your book.
Graham
Buy the pdf, print it and hole punch it. Works well in a ring binder folder or as separate sheets or on the screen.
Excellent lesson Ross!
Thanks Greg!
I love this❤ but, I can’t afford to buy this book brother 😢
Wow! It’s about time someone cuts through the crap and presents the solution! I just ordered your book & I’m watching the free 1 video that is in your link. Thanks Man!!! Keep up the great work!
Thank you Darryl 🙏
Once I stopped being lazy and learned all shapes of major as well as minor pentatonics, and learned tricks to combine the 2, it was a game changer to playing more melodically and more interestingly.
I can't find book on Amazon, is it sold out?
Book purchased today on the recommendation of Mr Clay.
Nice! Hope you enjoy the book David 🙏
Same here,mr Clay
Hi Ross, I just received your book and will be getting in to it soon. I did watch the masterclass and have been studying these concepts now for a few weeks. I have been testing in key of A using the blues scale with the Major 3rd added for the 1 Chord then for the 4 Chord, I’m using an A Dorian scale then for the 5 Chord I move to a B Dorian scale and that seems to work well for me hitting all the chord tones for the 4 and 5 chords. What are your thoughts on that?
Hey Clay! I understand completely why you'd feel inclined to take that approach however I would say that it's not optimal. Why? Well, you're playing over a D7 chord but thinking of the root note A if you're visualising A Dorian, which makes it more likely for you to bias your note choices relative to a root note that isn't the same of the chord that you're playing over. Same thing applies to B Dorian over E7 - it's better to be visualising E root note than B root notes. I think as you progress through the book it will become easier for you to shed this approach and adopt one that's more optimal for hitting those money notes for the IV and V chords :)
@@RossCampbellGuitarist Very cool. Thank you so much for the reply and explanation!! I’m excited about going through the book 👍
I use minor pentatonic and the relative major i just bought your book
Cheers Ross always great information , it’s easy to get stuck in the pentatonic box thanks my man I need to work on this !! Cheers Ross !! What’s the story with the book ross do u think it will help me I’m s fingerstyle player but an intermediate electric player I’m in that category we’re my solos are not flowing properly and I stick with the minor pentatonic I do know the modes but don’t know how to incorporate them into my playing will the book help me I don’t mind buying it cheers Brian Ireland 🇮🇪🎸🎸
Hey Brian! From what you've described it sounds like it would be a PERFECT fit for your current skill level. Maybe you want to watch the free Masterclass first though before buying, just to be sure...
No bother Ross I’ll give it a go it can only help me I’ve heard other people online talk about it and it won’t break the bank I’m happy to help ur channel bro as I’ve learned alot from it over the last few years thanks Ross !! 👍👍
It’s bought now bro thanks the internet is to handy 😂😂all the best Ross .. Brian
I just got your book yesterday. let the deep dive begin.
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it
The problem is me!??? Yes, that is for sure. I really appreciate your approach and making the point it takes work to get somewhere. You rock. 👍
🙏🙏
I just bought your book 😎🎸
Thanks Mike! Hope you enjoy it
Dear Ross, I want to congratulate you for spurning elaborate showy videos designed to attract subs and clicks and instead calmly and surgically zeroing in on showing how great blues solos can REALLY be simple! Book on the way btw
Thanks Chris!
true
cool whats a major 3rd?
ROSS, try to make a lessons on when SRV used the mixolydian scale and when SRV used Jazz chords and SRV use modes. I have seen SRV use the mixolydian scale for minor pentatonic box#5 which is the G shape CAGED, instead of playing minor pentatonic box#5 he uses the Mixolydian Arpeggio scale ( not the scale) the mixolydian arpeggio scale/mixolydian pentatonic scale 1-3-5-b7 or 1-3-4-5-7b. Instead of mixing minor pentatonic with major pentatonic what SRV does is play a minor pentatonic phrase then answers it with a mixolydian arpeggio scale using the same ROOT note. He does this in Tin Pan Alley using sweeps in his live concerts sweeping back a forth from minor pentatonic to mixloydian arpeggio scales using the G shape or C shape CAGED. The Trick is you find the root note lets say E so you find all your E notes mapping on the fretboard but you can use either E minor pentatonic then jump to another E note at another position on the fretboard you can either outline the C chape CAGED or G shape CAGED and use the E mixolydian arpeggio scale. He does this really fast by sweeping through the box positions. So what I'm saying is the G shape mixolydian arpeggio scale is BEHIND minor pentatonic box#1 and C shape Mixolydian arpeggio scale is AHEAD of the minor pentatonic box#1 you just have to find the ROOT NOTES and you sweep fast BEHIND and AHEAD of the minor penatonic box#1. Its a Tin Pan Alley trick he learned from BB king how to use the mixolydian mode from playing it behind and ahead of the minor pentatonic box#1.
wouhou bubble moment ... i can hear the silence ! thanks .
Tried to get the masterclass...nothing happened.
Hey! You didn't get an email or taken to the masterclass video page after entering your details? Try it again these things can play up sometimes 🙃
I'll fight this until I push up daisies. This is a false conception. If you play the relative minor you get the major 3rd.. Most people don't analyze the Pentatonic to its full capability. IMO
You must mean relative major. True there is a major 3rd in the major pentatonic but you can still wind up stuck in major pentatonic boxes and struggle to highlight the changes.
Eh,
Rory Gallagher YOU MISED ONE OF THE BEST OUT
talker
i dont understand nothing you are talking about.... im not talking shit to you bro... just talking and chord charts arent showing me anything, try doing this, while you are talking.... play on the guitar what you are talking about. that would really help me and people like me very much that dont know or understand theory..
