    Bonus Lessons and Practice Sessions Designed Just For You.
    18 Minutes of Bonus Practice Sessions. I was trying for 3 to 5 videos but it became 2 MONSTER videos. Discussing how to apply these concepts over a moving chord progression and how moving the idea to a new place gives you a lot more color! Backing tracks to jam to.

    Forget about Paul Davis… this guy is the best guitar teacher on UA-cam! 👏👏👏

    I LEARN MORE FROM THIS GUY THAN ANYONE ON UA-cam. If that is "yelling" in typing, I'm yelling. Such good explanations and Western music theory content without hype. The CAGED explanations in other videos are the BEST. I play for fun and these lessons are making me sound like I actually know a little and that makes me have even more fun. God Bless

    I've avoided playing major pentatonic scales for years because they never sound right over the chord progression. Now I know why! You've really opened some doors for me with this lesson. At last I can understand why Lynrd Skynrd etc sound so upbeat using the majors. Marvellous stuff, thanks a ton!

    • @PickSixer
      @PickSixer 9 місяців тому +2

      Yep - this guy is great. This lesson also helps with Allman Brothers and Dickey Betts’s solos…and The Stones recorded a ton of songs in BMajor and Keef and Mick Taylor both played their solos in BMajor pent - great stuff!

    I never had a guitar teacher or anyone to jam with. I feel like I hit my talent wall years ago but I still play because I love blues and music in general. I wish I had a guitar teacher like you my friend. It's a joy to watch your UA-cam videos...

  • @maxkelter3561

    Always good to hear the teacher play by example. Thanks for breaking the pattern down and showing how the intervals interact with each other.

  • @onefm1

    @BxoxbxbxyxBxoxy 2 роки тому +2

    I really like the way you teach man, great job. I've been playing for years off and on and the way you combine the different patterns is great for my style of learning. It's never made more sense. Thank so much for your content.

    @Guide1089 2 роки тому +7

    Outstanding lesson today! You break down complicated ( to me, I'm still learning the scales, starting on triads now, but this stuff is hard!! ) patterns or scales and make learning easier. It's NOT simple, but you do make it understandable. Very well done. Thank you so much.

  • @supsailor4041

  • @seanenglish3002
    @seanenglish3002 3 роки тому +30

    This was a great lesson! The simple assignment of responsibilities to each of the notes in the major pentatonic makes the creation of clean sounding riffs so easy. It also explains why so many of my major moves went wrong. I'm looking forward to your Patreon lessons where you take this one step further moving from a single chord vamp to a two chord pattern.

  • @AprojectUK
    @AprojectUK 3 роки тому

    I'm so happy you talked about landing on the sixth in a major pentatonic and why it happens so much. I've always hated playing major pentatonics because of how it would sound, and now I realise exactly why that is! Muscle memory truly is your best friend and worst enemy. Great video, Stich. You have a habit of articulating things that often get missed in the UA-cam guitar world.

  • @mwfxtechnicalanalysis9136
    @mwfxtechnicalanalysis9136 3 роки тому +10

  • @ChrisLopezpallooza
    @ChrisLopezpallooza Рік тому +2

    I've been working on incorporating major phrasing so I don't lean so heavily on the minor, and your lesson did such a terrific job of breaking it down. This is really the best understanding I've gotten of it. Thanks!

  • @Victorypickups

    This video was SO helpful to me - one of the MOST helpful to me I've watched of yours and I've watched a lot. And get a lot from! You're one of my faves for guitar lessons.
    You explained the difference between the 1st in the minor and the 6th in the major, which was a concept I knew but your explanation was a game-changer, to use a terrible cliche. So this was HUGE.
    When you played and went "home" to the 6th --that's what I sound like and exactly what I'm trying to solve for, learning how to make a pentatonic sound like the pros.
