Eddie, thank you for this lesson & explanation. You've expanded & deepened my rote memorization the Pentatonic scale positions and C A G E D system 👍🏽👍🏼🤝🏼🎸
Most guitar teachers talk like they are paid by the number of words they pronounce per minute. Your explanations are very clear and very understandable for people like me who's mother tongue is not English. I am from Flanderds Belgium, 71yo and an absolute beginner at GMM
Eddie is a great teacher. If your a beginner or basic intermediate player ie familiar with pentatonic boxes but no real theory you'll really learn from his GMM class. Its so worth the cost $47 when i took it. 🤘😎🌴🎸shed on my dudes!
Thanks Eddie. Another good lesson and very well explained. I’ve always wondered who ever invented guitar tab wouldn’t have written them upside down. I guess someone like Eric Gales would appreciate them that way.
I’ve never had this explained to me in this way. G plus three tells me another angle on identifying partial connections inside adjacent pentatonic scales Thank you.
Thanks for the tip of linking the two pent patterns together on the 8th fret, now it is a lot more fun to run around linking those notes together, the playground just doubled in size! thanks for your perfect videos, the information is easy to follow and not a dull class room talk. Cheers
What I did for a buddy was stuck on his guitar the 5 pentatonic scales from the 3rd fret G in the little stick on stationary circles and I put gree. Circles on the Root notes .from the 3rd fret G down to the 15th fret ,where the scale re starts . After a long time of fingerings up and down the dots he got to the point of removing the stick ons.
How about this: play your guitar for eight hours a day. That ought to do it. I left this comment and then watched your video and I apologize. This is very good. awesome tone.
Also, you can figure out anything on the neck. As long as you play 1.4, you play another 1.4 there's always 1.3 3x then it goes back to 1.4 1.4, it's true in every scale, so it's 1.4 1.4 1.3 1.3 1.3 1.4, if you follow a 1.3 from a 1.4, there has to be 3 1.3's after that😊
Thanks for the video Eddie, just a quick question. Isn't that just connecting box 5 to box 1 and the lower part of box 2 of the minor pentatonic scale?
No it isn’t. This is standard notation. This is how the fret board would appear to you as the player when you’re playing it. It’s not upside down at all.
@@richardcaruso002 I expect there are plenty of beginners using UA-cam who might be initially confused by the way the fret board is being displayed here, but soon enough figure out what is going on and then understand this lesson just fine. Eddie makes great videos that can really help beginners get up to speed in all kinds of ways.
I have never understood why YT video peoples do not point a camera down in a POV angle so the playing matches up with the diagrams. Facing the student is like a reversed mirror image and doesn't help students visualize what they need to do. I don't want to watch you play, I want to know what it supposed to look like when I play...
@@OnwardAndEdward same thoughts on that as well. If the student was positioned to the side as to mimic or see the hands in the same angle on the neck, learning might be much more efficient and maybe faster.???
I believe you're confused a little. You may want to review the video starting somewhere around the 1:55 mark. Think of how the G & A chords are played with open/cowboy chord fingerings. Like Eddie says, you may want to check out a video on the C-A-G-E-D system because it's dependent on the same open chord fingerings as you move up and down the neck. If that doesn't confuse you enough maybe check out a video on Major and Minor Triad finger positioning. You'll see some more familiar chord fingerings. It's all the same, just different (ha!). For now go back and listen to what Eddie has to say - he really does explain the "pentatonic equator" well.
It’s only the CAGED G form in the major context. If he was demonstrating an example in the key C Major then G form would be correct. However the music example in the video is Cm. In the minor context, the pentatonic minor box pattern number 1 is the E shape. The shapes are defined by the orientation of the root notes within the pattern.
@@reuben.guitar that is totally right and gives you the tonal notes of the major chord with the G form and tonal notes of the minor chord with the Em form.

Very helpful
This is a GREAT lesson. Very versatile _and_ very useful. Thanks making it clear and easy to understand.
Thanks you for explaining and taking us from the very beginning on lead guitar. I like how you teach.
I knew these patterns, but I didn't know why they worked! Thanks! I now have a visual reference I can relate to...

always make me smile your good for us..
Awesome video. Your way of explaining these scale pattens is perfect.
🎸 🎶
Great lesson, this goes right with the gpr system book I'm working through now. Thanks Eddie.

I learned a lot from this thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Yet another lightbulb 💡 moment for me from the excellent Eddie and the GMM team. Keep 'em coming 🤗
Glad you enjoyed it Rick!
You are Awesome Eddie ..i took your course and look at it most every day
Happy to hear that!
Omygosh, the electric guitar is sweet. I hope I will ever afford it.
Thanks for the lesson man.
Thanks for this valuable tip.
Keep up the good work bro
yeah, fifth, first and second pentatonic boxes give you plenty to play around with. or the partial second "house of blues"
Thank you. Loved the equator.
Very very good video.
Solid video

1.4, if you follow a 1.3 from a 1.4, there has to be 3 1.3's after that😊
Great info, thanks.
Nice thank you Eddie
This is good stuff, is there an equally easy way to learn in a major key?
Thanks for the video Eddie, just a quick question. Isn't that just connecting box 5 to box 1 and the lower part of box 2 of the minor pentatonic scale?
Nice
Open tuning is fun.
It's a bit confusing mixing up your major CAGED chord shapes with the minor pentatonic scale
Muchisimas gracias maestro...que pena que no se engles....😅
So confusing with the scale on the screen is upside down!
No it isn’t. This is standard notation. This is how the fret board would appear to you as the player when you’re playing it. It’s not upside down at all.
@@Metallizombie True, but it still _feels_ like it's upside down for people who don't get that.
@DennisMoore664 people who don't get it wouldn't be far enough along with guitar to understand this lesson

It helps plenty of students. One on one, in person lessons are the same way.
@@OnwardAndEdward same thoughts on that as well. If the student was positioned to the side as to mimic or see the hands in the same angle on the neck, learning might be much more efficient and maybe faster.???
Yes tabs are incomprehensible for this reason …I’ve seen it done once … by a mandolin player ..wow. Absolute game changer
I just don't see a G in the 1st position C minor pentatonic. I do see it in the 2nd position.
At 1:58 I demonstrate clearly how it occupies the G chord form.
@@OnwardAndEdward Thank you! 🖐️
I think what you are calling the G pattern is actually the E pattern and the A pattern is actually the G pattern.
I don’t think so, but feel free to elaborate in case I’m missing something.

You could just learn the Pentatonic scale in all 5 positions and then the entirety of the neck is available to you. Right?
As far as the pentatonic scale is concerned, yes! What comes next is learning how to use the scale
