I cannot stress how important Chris's theory lessons have been for my musical literacy.
I tried to learn this with him through the major scale. Now that it is pentatonic and in A I can finally digest it.
This was a very interesting take, I fell into that trap, where I knew the pentatonic shapes and could play them well, but couldn’t wrap my head around how guys like Hendrix and Clapton Jimmy Paige and the like could make such amazing solos in so many different ways. I branched out and started to become more of a diatonic player, which I don’t regret, but it wasn’t until I started playing more diatonic shapes that I finally started to understand the relationships of intervals and how to make them work for me. If I would have focused more on how to make more with less and how the relationships worked so well I probably would have progressed faster, I mean my playing incorporates mainly pentatonic riffs but a lot of my leads fall into adding passing tones from chromatic, diatonic or blues scales, amazing lesson man, you killed it.
Thanks Kris!
Thanks Kris
My goodness. No wonder Marty plays so good. Dude just changed the way I played in 10 minutes. I was so stuck playing the minor pentatonic and always sounding like I was going up and down to and up and down the scale sounding slightly bluesy but always the same. He opened the door and I'm walking thru it. I'm not a great player but I love to make my own sound. So not playing other people's music has really slowed my learning down but I'm only playing what I play and never being a copy cat. Yes I'm sure that horribly detrimental to my learning but I'm ok with that. Just doing me.
Well in the long run if you were to play with someone, you will be way better at creating / coming up with your own solo's, verses somone who follows the rules. Playing your own style can be beneficial in the sense that you will sound "Natural" where someone who doesn't incorporate learning to be creative, will sound " by the book ", or "Mechanical" if you know what I mean. Keep doing you man!
@@teleacousticplayer9386 Thanks brother. I sure wish I had someone to play with tho. I'm still stuck in the gap of playing chords that sound bland and scales that I just can't seem to find beauty in the sound. It all just sounds bland. But I'll keep trying to find that one thing that gets me out of this rut I'm in.
Don’t think of learning music theory as a way of restricting yourself to what everyone else is doing. It is simply wrong. Instead compare it to a language. Learning to play music without knowing why it works, is like speaking a language without knowing how to write it or knowing grammar. Learning to write and learning the grammar doesn’t limit what you can say or make you say the same as everyone else really. It just lets you express yourself in far more eloquent, coherent, inspiring and interesting ways. Hope that makes sense.
Thanks Marty and thanks Chris. I am 64 years old and have been playing since I was 12. I have had many lessons throughout, but this was explained so well. I am excited to work at improving with this better understanding. It was awesome to meet Marty's teacher through this video. Thank You.
It's nice that Marty recognises that his success owes in no small part to you.lts his doing but.theres no shortage of folk who quickly forget such minor details.l am genuinely pleased to see Marty isn't in that camp.keep up the good work both of you.
I would absolutely love some lessons with this guy. What a great teacher!!!
Chris now I understand how Marty is a great teacher. He learned his chops from another great guitarist. What's next for Chris ? I'm thinking comedic stand up. Another awesome lesson. Thanks.
Ha!
"Two scales walk into a bar..."
@@curiousguitarist "Two scales walk into a bar". When A major slides up to sisters, Lydian & Dorian, and ask. What kinda' mode you two in tonight ?
@@jeffreyjones3228 oooh, that’s a good one!
@@jeffreyjones3228
…then Locrian walks in, alone as usual, and everyone asks for the check.
“Where’s everyone going? I just got here!”
Ionian looks up from her bill and says “Look, Loki, it’s not that we don’t like hanging out, but you have so many alterations that no one feels at home when you’re around.”
@@curiousguitarist yo! man tht now makes the lyrics of a song…
Thanks Marty and thanks Chris. I learned the pentatonic from my guitar teacher when I was in college also. But this is a step beyond. Especially the 3-note personality segment. Such a cool concept at the center to see the structure built from 3 core elements. I can see why Marty carried on from Chris’s teachings. Keep rockin’ guys - and teaching!
Yes, thank you, Chris, for your insight, and thank you, Marty, for asking Chris to come on. I know this video is about 1 1/2 yrs. old, but man, this has helped me get out of a rut. I've been working on memorizing the 5 pentatonic shapes, trying to remember where the root notes are in each pattern, and it's been a bit frustrating. I need to understand why something works, then I know how to do it. Sure, muscle memory is important, but knowing how and why something you play works enables you to truly use it. So, thanks again!
I have been teaching myself for about 4 years now and I have to admit I have not practice this like I should have from the beginning. That's a shame on me moment. I promised myself to buckle down on this I just have to work on not being bored with it. Most of the problem is also my muscle memory is not what it used to be. I am almost 60 and I am still amazed that I finally picked up a guitar. This video made me remember that I am not the only one and that yes, I can do this! thank you Marty for always looking out for us and for introducing us to your mentor.🎼🎸
The personality angle is an interesting perspective that I will take to other scales and modes. Thanks, Chris.
You bet John! Each scale has a great unlock in this way...try Lydian next :)
great lesson and love the pick guard I need to find one for my tele

Wow! This guy is amazing! A great teacher makes great students, simple yet effective. My favourite combination. This guy reminds me of my first guitar teacher Dave Moore and my two current ones Sean Mann and Dean Clark. Great teachers make learning the guitar so much easier and fun.
Honored to be in that group Karl! Thank you!
Will have to watch this many times over. As a absolute beginner i learned the a minor pentatonic scale in 5 positions. I could work my up and down those positions but it sounded like a scale. No personality. This will definitely help me! Thank you both!
Wow, this short video really helped me out!! Thx Chris
Of course, Ray!
THIS LESSON IS AWESOME!!! MORE PLEASE
There’s a ton of creativity, melody and composition available in the same five notes on the fretboard
This is for sure one of the best lessons I’ve ever watched. Totally opened my mind to a new way of playing. Thank you!
This should have been the first lesson I ever learned! Brilliant, as usual. Thanks.
Thanks mate!
@@curiousguitarist just subscribed to your channel too!
@@ProfVonW Thank you! I appreciate that!
Thank you Marty and Chris awesome lesson
An amazing lesson Chris, thank you for explaining concepts so clearly. Merry Christmas!
You are welcome! And happy Holidays to you too Steve!
This worked for me! Thanks!
Oh my gosh!!!! 💡 I have been playing for 34 years and this lesson just made sense of something I've been trying to get my head around for SO LONG. Thank you!!!
You are SO welcome! Glad this was a light bulb for you, David!
Fantastic lesson from the man who made Marty Schwarz! Love the collaboration - thank you both!
Chris is such a great teacher! So glad to be subscribed to both of you. Always great lessons
Simply great lesson. I am definitely feeling inspired. Thank you Chris!
Nice! That's the best...rock on Michael, and thanks for your support!
GREAT lesson!
What a brilliant lesson, many thanks guys awsum. 🎸🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👍👍
Wow! This just opened the flood gates and things are starting to make sense. I applied the same knowledge on the minor scale and then the major scale. Bam! I can play the minor, major and pentatonic across the entire fretboard now. Now since Ionian - Major, Dorian - Minor raised 6th, Phyrgian - Minor flattened 2nd note, Lydian - Major raised 4th Note, Mixolydian - Major flattened 7th Note, Aeolian - Natural Minor, Locrian - Minor Flattened 2nd & 5th Note. So now I can play all the modes without thinking hard about shapes and patterns. Best lesson ever!
Ty. Needed that
Great breakdown of where and why !!! Love it !!!!!
This is an eye opener. Love it.
👁🗨✔
really valuable lesson
Phenomenal! I've been playing for a long time and this is the only lesson I've ever come across that explains the scale with some theory so simply and effectively.
This lesson bridges the gap well.
Searched how to play roadside blues, and sure enough #1 is Marty, I watched the lesson. While watching, I wondered who Marty's teacher was? Next video to play is this one. Awesome stuff, thanks for the lessons over the years!
Damn! Talk about a lightbulb moment!! Awesome stuff!!!
Thanks mate this vid was a breakthough for me. Rock On Bro.👍👏
You bet, Steve!
There is no words for how helpful and mind opening this video was for me . Thanks for posting 👏🏽👏🏽
Invaluable info great lesson thanks to you both Chris and Marty
This is best explanation ever, super useful, I was even able to use that knowledge on other scales, thank you so much
Nice! That type of knowledge and method transfer will speed up your journey like nothing else can!
Listen to the bassline for Fascist Christ by Todd Rundgren. Its the same three notes. He said, when embarking on his arena rock album entitled ARENA ....I loosely quote...." If you want to get back into the guitar , you are heading on a train that crashes into the blues." And the above mentioned song is NOT a blues tune, its electronica!
Awesome lesson Chris. Just what I needed.
Thank you Chris, well done man!
I'm really digging @10:56!
Yeah, that's all beef and no filler right there! Glad you enjoyed this one.
No offence to the vegans...it's just a saying!
Another outstandingly clear and helpful lesson!
🙏
Thank you,
Very interesting, eye opening moment .
Thank you for this amazing lesson Chris !!! You have another lesson similar to this one on your channel. But when do we focus on the third and when we focus on the flat seventh ? And what is the function of the 9th and the 11th ? When are they used? Again many thanks Chis and Marty !!
Use flat 3 to root, and use flat 7 to root. Just stay with those two relationships for a few days.
9- jazzy and "open" sounding
11 - (or 4) sounds like it wants to go up to 5 or down to b3
Experiment!!
@@curiousguitarist Thank you so much Chris !!! appreciated !! You are the best !!!
Excellent video! Great communicators make something complex seem simple. That's what you've done. Thank you.
Very helpful! 🤘
Oh WOW! Thank you soo much, I’ve felt this in listening to music but could never understand it, what it was, how it worked, or how to do it, now I can’t put my guitar down! You made it so simple that even I grasped it.
Thank you so much Marty and Chris for sharing this invaluable information it’s a gem 💎 for aficionados like me 🙏🏼🎸😊
Probably the best lesson about the pentatonic on the net
Thanks mate! Appreciate it.
Great video! Pentatonic lessons from Grandad. Thank you Marty for having Chris teach us.
Thanks Chris!
This helped me understand the fretboard immensely
Nice refresher and outlook on approaching this scale 👍
Awesome. Thanks
Really enjoyed this and gave me some new things to try. Thanks so much!
So great. So glad I found this lesson
Thanks for this Input!
Great lesson 😎
Man...he is a Great teacher! Thanks Marty!
Thank you Chris and Marty!
You bet, Jeff!
Great video and opened my eyes to a couple of aspects of the minor pentatonic scale I had not realized.
Anytime you can see something you know, from anew angle, you are winning!
Crazy how people can open our eyes to something so simple like this… Like why didn’t I already think of this lol
Merry Christmas to all
Great stuff! As usual
yeah i feel suddenly enlighted by this genius bald pentatonic master, i love this channel with all my heart
Lol
I just heard a little riff in I've Been Mistreated by Deep Purple. When growing up in the 60's they where one of my favorites along with Hendrix & ZZ Top! I've saved this video It's making more sense the second time watching this! Thank you!
Another great lesson. I’m reaching for my guitar right now to look for that personality!
Marty and Chris are like the Tag Team Champs of Guitar Playing. Better than the Road Warriors, better than the Wild Samoans, better than the Moon Dogs.
Love that!
Thanks Marty, I love ya for sharing this cat and this tutorial with us. I just happen to be in the place in my guitar playing journey to benefit the most from this. Thank you and your teacher, big time!!!!
Thanks Chris, that was extremely helpful. You have a great way of breaking things down to make it more understandably.
Glad you enjoyed this Stephen!
Hey Marty, what a great class! Thank you so much for having your teacher teach us. He made it clear, and I finally understand the minor pentatonic. Thanks again!
Thank you Chris! A definite game changer. Wish I had this lesson long ago. Truly inspiring.
You are welcome!
Wonderful perspective on the pentatonic! Thank you!
You bet, Chuck!
Great video..opened up the fret board for a beginner like myself
Perfect for what I need to go over today. For years I've just done seven notes all the time, playing the guitar. I have to kind of think to jog my memory on what it's supposed to be and really think to leave out what needs to be left out. It's one thing to mindlessly sing through pentatonics, and another thing for me to have to pull my brain together to think and play them up and down the guitar all over the place. Eventually the muscle memory will probably meld while I'm fretting. 😉 So the middle of this clip where you stop for a little bit, is the place I need to make it click, and register in my brain, formation wise. I hear it. Just need to note (map) the tactile shortcuts with it. Thanks❣️
Hay Audrey! Glad you liked this one!
@@curiousguitarist It is spot on! 😊
What a greaT LESSON.. The both of you two have opened some serious doors for me as a player... Thanks you..
I'm loving the colab you have with Chris. Full circle to have him on your channel.
This is game changing! Thank you so much!
Chris, you are a seriously good teacher!
Thanks Chris! Just what I needed!
This was mind blowing. Thanks for this!
Good translation!
a glimmer of a lightbulb moment there. now if i can only not forget it in 10 minutes.
it's been 9 hours....hows it going?
@@curiousguitarist ive picked up the guitar 3 times today and still got it! thanks especially for the relationship of the 3 most important notes it really gives a foothold to a newish guy like me.
@@lefty5string That is great news mate!
Love that John Wayne tele
Great Lesson! Please make more
Love the lessons you do, as well as Marty’s as well, thanks so much and I sure hope you do more!
Pattern and personality...thank you!
You got it, Rich!
Incredible I could listen to you all day thank you!
It says a lot about Marty that he welcomes his own teacher to his popular website. Guitar is a lifetime of learning! ( at age 73 I wish I had more time to learn
That was excellent. I am saving this video and will watch it over and over until the information sticks in my brain.
Thanks for the tips. 🤘
Great lesson, thanks!
You've done it again Chris.
This is the sort of video that gives me that push forward from stagnation and boredom to improving my playing and helping me stay with the process. Thanks again.
THAT'S why I do this! Thanks ian~
Absolutely amazing lesson. I had learned the pattern and quickly got bored of it.. I have a completely new understanding of the scale now. Chris you're a fantastic teacher!
Wow, this lesson really put everything together for me and I am really using the pentatonic for my advantage by knowing its strengths. Some of this lesson was really confusing like the first concept that he taught about having running out of room on the fret board is a good place to be in I don't really get but kind of. But the rest of this lesson was amazing and really started making me sound amazing because I focus on that flat 7, flat 3, 1 relationship and adding that to the rest of the theory I know about the blues scale. And by actually understanding that flat 7, flat 3, 1 relationship you can completely use your eat to hear where you are in the scale at all times.
totally understood, best video on pentatonic scale
Hey Chris, thanks for another great lesson!!
Of course Joe! Thanks for the views and comment!
Love CS. Dude is brilliant.
That's a cool sounding tele...time we see the master and the pupil together in a vid
I agree, Marty and I will probably get together again this Summer at NAMM 🤞🤞
yess
I cannot stress enough how badass that gunslinger pickguard is.
