What's Missing from Minor Pentatonic? Add this sweet note!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- The minor pentatonic scale is only five notes, which means that there are two notes missing. And one of those notes is the sweetest note we could possibly have -- so we want it back in! Learn how to add the 2 (also known as the 9) back into the minor pentatonic scale so your guitar solos will have that added harmonic richness. Perfect for classic and progressive rock, jazzy RnB solos, and even the blues.
This guitar lesson is from Vancouver teacher Blue Morris.

Eine weitere nützliche Lektion ! Danke und Grüße aus Berlin !
Thanks Rene!!!
Blue, I love your videos. I always learn something new that I can apply right away. I can't wait for the next vid!
Great to hear thanks Simon!
Good lesson! Thanks!!
Glad you liked it!
I'm an intermediate to advanced player that already uses a lot of these techniques . I only say that because I thought i knew all there is to know about them within reason. Watched a few of your videos and you cover ideas that never crossed my mind. Thx for the great lessons.
Cool 😎 that's good to hear!
sounds very Santana-ish with the 2
It is! He did that a lot.
@@GuitarLessonsVancouverI grew up with his music in the 70's.Thank you for sharing what I shall call the Santana Note 😉. I look forward to more of your step by step and well thought out lessons. Subscribed from Malaysia.
@@mrbadiuzzaman 😎 cool. Welcome to the channel!
GREAT REMRK!!!
best tip ever!
Thanks David!
This is so interesting because I try to use the Aeolian mode more than the Pentatonic for the same reasons that you gave......it gives more opportunities to bend, slide, hammer, pull-off etc etc. This is so much fun!! Thank you and I wish you a happy week ahead :)
Cool yeah, Aeolian and Dorian have the same 2, but a different 6. The 2 is arguably more versatile 😎
C'est trop bon👍 it's so good ! This 2nd makes me happy, I have fun to play it with pentatonique scale, thank you so much😉🎸
Merci Richard!!!
You are a very, very good guitarrero and the best teacher on yt!!!!!!!
No teacher has declaired it so easy. In 5 minutes it was in my head. It happened not very often 😂😭. I'm.... Years old and I need a little more time, but not in your Lesson.
I bought your book. I hate the Tabs because I don't know some signs,but I love the diagrams.
The easy way to learn are your Videos 👍👍👍.
I get a Patron member next day.
Now I have Joy to play guitar. I haven't it since 1 year. Sorry for my Bad English. Im an old German guy 🙄
In this Video your rhytm guitar is great!!!! Looks so easy. If I can play this and can laugh as you did that's my goal 😅😅
Thanks Wolfgang! Glad to hear it helping! Lots more coming!
Blue because of you I just had my aha light bulb moment. Signing up for your patreon page. Great stuff.
Brian
Cool thanks Brian! Just sent you a welcome message on Patreon. Let me know if you have any questions on there 👍😎
Great lesson again! The sound of ending on one of these notes reminds me somehow of James Bond😅
I also like to play it over a minor ballad type of song, especially in the easy shape on the g string when you slide back and forth from 4th fret to 5th fret.
For sure a minor ballad would be great for this!
Has a Santana vibe to it
Sure does. He used it a lot, and that loop I have is similat to early Santana
Almost Dorian. 🤓
@@annubisbones True indeed. And actually that loop I have there is Am to D, which is Dorian. But this trick can be used in lots of situations, which is why I love it.
Inspiradora esta clase, excelente, 100% technique
Gracias Alex!
Your lessons are superb. There is always a clear and musically interesting idea to take away. Many thanks!
Thanks again Brian!!!
Love this guy

What would Blue Morris do….
My fav
Thanks Chris! I would definitely add a 2 to the minor pentatonic 😄
Would you please make a lesson about the rhythm funk style you are playing during this lesson ! Many thanks!
You seem to not land on the 2 on the one chord, think it was the 4 chord. Not sure if you mentioned that.
I did land it on that IV major chord in the video yes, but it will work on the I minor chord as well. Making it sound like Am9. It's versatile.
Dorian is such a cool sounding mode. It’s distinct yet subtle. You can totally hear it but it doesn’t standout like say the raised 7th in minor (harmonic). I can’t really think of any Page licks with it. Did he ever use it to your knowledge?
Hi Rob, I can't think of any Page licks with the 2 no. Might be somewhere but certainly not a habit of his.
I used a lot the 9th, always sound awesome to me, you gave a lot of hints and ways to make good use of it, thanks so much Mr Blue, very worthy lesson!
Thanks again Rafa!!!
OMG come on man!! You’re lessons are so good! Been tearing thru your videos. Been following Marty and Justin and so many others for years. You are hands down the best lessons! Thank you Blue please keep on doing what you’re doing it’s soo appreciated! Brian from Saratoga, NY

Great to hear thanks! Lots more coming to this channel and our Patreon www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver
Love it!!! More food for thought . Thanks for all you do
Thanks for watching 👍
I think of it as the 7th of the Major scale. Instead of A Min, I see it as C Maj (It's all the same notes). So, ending a line on the 7th resolving to the root makes more sense to me, instead of ending on the 2 resolving to the 3rd. Depends how you look at it I guess.
That makes sense. It is the same note. Whatever gets you there I think is good.
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver I've been thinking about this in terms of the chord function within the scale. Interesting enough the I and the III are both considered tonic, so that makes sense to resolve to either one. The difference is the ii is sub dominant and the Vii is considered dominant. So, although they are the same note, whether you are thinking in terms of A min or C Maj, the function of the note within the scale changes. Which is how the modes work pretty much anyway .. right? Not to mention the Vii is diminished vs a minor ii. You got me thinking anyway..
End on the 2? Like it. I already figured out for myself that i can play the g major scale over the e minor pentatonic easy shape. Lots more notes... But ending on the 2 is inspired. Thanks!
Cool thanks Mark!
Genial Blue!!! Excelentes tus clases y explicaciones!! Gracias totales!
Gracias de nuevo José!!!
Why would all this lesson not apply to b2?
Another great lesson. Isn’t the 2 and the 6 parts of the natural minor scale? Sometimes I throw in the 6 also.
Thanks! Yes the full minor scale would have those, but we have to be more careful with that 6 because there are minor 6s and major 6s depending on the the type of minor key. The loop I use in this video would require a major 6, but a natural minor scale would be a minor 6. That get's more complicated, which is why I love the 2. It's the same in both so you don't really need to think about it.
Adding the Major 6th gives you the Dorian scale (a la Carlos Santana). Adding the Major 2nd to the minor pentatonic gets you halfway there.
I think this would sound perfect with this backing track !
(Oops. I see that I wasn't the first to say this, but it's worth repeating.)
another good one!
Thanks for keeping coming back First Last!
Yes, now this version is right!
Thanks Jeff!!! I try to look them over as much as I can but it's bound to happen sometimes. 😆
@@GuitarLessonsVancouverI really enjoy your video and thanks for your contribution!
Gee, I thought you were going to say the 6th.
I could have 😀 but I love that 2 and it can be used in more situations than the 6.
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver Yeah, I do really like the sound of the 2. I guess the trouble with the 6 , at least for me, is whether to play the 6 or the flat 6, Dorian or Aeolian.
