    I've watched a thousand videos on pentatonic blues soloing and this is the first time I've ever been told that secret of playing the minor scale over major. Wow.

    I have learned more from you in just a few videos than I have in many years of learning and playing. You explain theory, soloing, leads and chords in a very simple, easy to understand way. Thank you.

      yes i agree...i think many guitar teacher deliberately do that so their viewers keep watching lessons for years..if someone will learn in less time then nobody will watch videos

      Zombie guitar is better for beginners, when I started I was playing great within a month cause him. Theory is important imo though

      He assumes a certain level of understanding in his teaching and explanations. I don't understand fully everything, but the light turned on for me in a number of areas. Will be reviewing this clip many times in my progression. Cheers!

    Excellent explanation of major and minor pentatonic scales and how to use them. I must also complement you on your quality of the backing track and the tone of your guitar. It really helps the listener to hear the difference between major and minor. The lead lines are excellent and landing on the target notes. Nothing to complicated just played at the right tempo. I do wish your channel the best of luck. I would put it in the top five that I have seen. Keep up the good work. I will definitely be back to see more of your videos.

  • @VintageTubeTone
    @VintageTubeTone 11 місяців тому +1

    It took me years to figure out what you've summarized so well in 15 minutes. For anyone who hasn't watched it, Jules' video on blending major and minor in blues is the next step in blues guitar. You might also try using the Mixolydian scale over each chord in the 12-bar. Just as the Am is the relative minor of C major (same notes), the G Mixolydian is the relative Mixolydian scale of C major (i.e., the C major beginning and ending on the fifth tone, or the note G). But all there is to finding the Mixolydian scale of any Chord is to flat the 7th tone of the major scale.

    Bravo ! And thanks for your videos. You give to beginners what my 4 to 5 guitar teachers, over 30 years ago, were unfortunately not able to explain to me ... luckily, UA-cam arrived and online guitar teachers with simple pedagogy opened suddenly the dark doors I was stucked behind for years ... since then, it is a daily epiphany and I do now give all the "tricks" (yes that's the word) I have learned to those who want to play guitar around me ... Music can be complex and complicated, yes ... but 99,9% of the modern blues/rock/heavy metal/funk/rap music is not and that is what 99,9% of the beginners would like to learn. Less is more ... simplest is the better.

  • @rorysinclair1489

    "That A minor scale kinda grinds against the A Major Chord...BUT IN A GOOD WAY" and thus Jules encapsulates the universal essence of musical theory in a video that should be Lesson Number One for anyone aspiring to write that first, coherent tune. Great communication. Thanks you

  • @gdvsbp
    @gdvsbp Рік тому

    This is going to sound ridiculous, but I have never known to focus on the LAST chord of a passage instead of the first. This video fixed me, and I immediately felt like a veil had been lifted when I next played my guitar.
