Thanks, Eddie!!! That just blew my mind playing the Pentatonic Scale over Jazz chord progressions. I have never played anything like jazz, and you blended it all together.
Good stuff man! I’ve been refreshing my “Electric Guitar”, skills & scales as I’ve been playing Dobro in Bluegrass for years & this has helped me get back to where I was years ago. Thanks!
Here’s what I got out of this lesson! 1- “A minor is the relative of C major.” 2- If you make a mistake outside your chords call it “Jazz” 3- with all due respect your hat is not working! 4- I’ve signed up for your guitar conveyer belt thing a dozen times (at least) but never received it. Thanks for the interesting lesson Eddie!
(Interesting) Would I be correct in saying to find the relative of any minor note for example would be to count three notes. For example, the relative of the D minor note would be F Major.(D + E+ F) F been the relative.
Yes! Although you would want to count 3 semitones. So finding the relative Major to D minor you would walk up those 3 semitones AFTER D (D#, E, F). Counting in semitones will include any sharps or flats Inversely, you would walk down 3 semitones to find the relative minor. So in the key of C Major, you would pass B, Bb, then reach A which is the relative minor to C. Hope that made sense!
It depends on if we're talking about Major or minor pentatonic. If it's minor pentatonic over a Major progression (a la blues), the root note of the I becomes the 5th of the IV chord. So it's still technically in key, but has a certain tension to it. If it's Major pentatonic, you are correct that the root note of the IV chord isn't in there, but the 3rd and 5ths are. A starting approach I recommend is to "wander" the scale pattern and use your ear to discern which notes work better than others over the IV chord and make those your go-to hotspots when you improvise. Hope that helps/made sense!
@@OnwardAndEdward Dude so impressed that you responded. I work on all your courses on GMM and watch all your Utube video's. I know it sounds like I am sucking up but I really think you have a gift relating to us and I really thank you for your answer. I will work on that.
@@rickabell9218 in the key of C, F is the 4, and you can use F major pentatonic because all of its notes are within the key of C major, (F C G D A) As a matter of fact, you can use the C major, F major, or G major pentatonics to play over C major or A minor with no classing notes, That said, they carry their own tensions and desire to resolve back to C major pentatonic. You can also play C lydian, with the D major pentatonic And C mixolydian with Bb Pentatonic. And if you figure out the pattern you can play all of the modes, using pentatonic shapes, over a root note of C depending on how many Fifths away the root of the pentatonic scale is, away from the tonic chord / piece. Hope this helps :)
@@xyzyzx1253 Thank you very much for your response. That certainly gives me something to think about. I thought maybe you could play the IV major pentatonic. Now I just need to work on this. Thanks again.

I really like the way these scales are broken up into segments.
Thanks, Eddie!!! That just blew my mind playing the Pentatonic Scale over Jazz chord progressions. I have never played anything like jazz, and you blended it all together.
The lick at 03:10 to 03:40 is fantastic! So soothing. Thank you very much Chief! Cheers from Indonesia.
Man if I had this teaching when me and my two brothers was doing Funk in the70s we would be making hits now
Its never too late! ;)

I've really enjoyed this as I just finding my round the fret board thanks colin
Great explanation, easy to understand
Thank you for your awesome tuto
This is a great lesson packed with useful info, i especially loved that jazz section at the end, cheers Eddie i have learned a lot from you
Great material, thanks
Thank you!
Here’s what I got out of this lesson!
1- “A minor is the relative of C major.”
2- If you make a mistake outside your chords call it “Jazz”
3- with all due respect your hat is not working!
4- I’ve signed up for your guitar conveyer belt thing a dozen times (at least) but never received it.
Thanks for the interesting lesson Eddie!
Great lesson thanks Eddie
My pleasure!
Great video bro
I have been playing off and on since I'd say '96 ish but I'm still at the same skill level. Will this program help me out tonfinally move forward?
(Interesting) Would I be correct in saying to find the relative of any minor note for example would be to count three notes. For example, the relative of the D minor note would be F Major.(D + E+ F)
F been the relative.

It's tricky to understand. Would there be a video that I can view? I am more of a visual person.@@OnwardAndEdward
When using pentatonic over a major I, IV, V how do you handle the IV when the root note is not in the pentatonic pattern?
It depends on if we're talking about Major or minor pentatonic. If it's minor pentatonic over a Major progression (a la blues), the root note of the I becomes the 5th of the IV chord. So it's still technically in key, but has a certain tension to it. If it's Major pentatonic, you are correct that the root note of the IV chord isn't in there, but the 3rd and 5ths are.

To change from minor to major, can't I just start on thee second note of the scale which is a C?
