Thanks. Interesting viewpoint. Your C Major Pentatonic with and added minor 3rd gives you C-D-Eb-E-G-A-C and your (relative minor) A (Minor) blues Scale adds the tritone giving you A-C-D-Eb-E-G-A - same notes.
Thanks! Really opened my eyes. Country playing has always mystified me because I'm used to learning songs by Zeppelin and Kiss which typically use the same scales.
Thank you for the tutorial. I have just started country on guitar and this helps. Ignore the idiots and knockers who do not have the metal to put up their own lesson. Great stuff.
It's probably worth noting that the flat fifth of minor pentatonic is the same note as the flat 3rd of the relative major pentatonic. So these are both just blues scales played in different modes.
Exactly and what made him sound "country" was more the tone and the chickin' pickin' style that he played rather than the scales he used. Want to sound country? Learn chickin' pickin'
Jimmy J. Rustle Oh really, such as ? Because my Welsh, Irish, English and Scottish friends would disagree there. And we certainly do not call ourselves "British".
@@buddybeetle study some anthropology. The British isles were originally Celtic but they were conquered by Scandinavians, Anglo-Saxons, Romans, and Scandinavians again. England, Scotland, Whales, Northern Ireland, and Ireland are all different from each other though
You just taught me more in 5 mins than ive been able to find out in 20 odd years. Thank you for dhowing the simplest basic things that everybody else does not or if they do they complicate it too much.
Just bought a MIM tele, similar looking to the one in this video. Has great "twang" sound just playing straight out of my Marshall Amp. May add some pedals, etc. at some point but so far really happy with the unique sound it brings
Get it wired Broadcaster wiring it'll be a totally memorizing beast and treat to play....grab a Blonde pedal....SansAmp ..gain and wild enough! That's just my opinion....
Just on the issue of Temptations versus OJays - the song was written by Smokey Robinson and then, as usual in Motown, a lot of groups from Motown and elsewhere covered it eventually. I saw Smokey himself do it. Nearly everybody uses the same intro. But this guy is pretty young - cut him some slack.
The official names are the Major Blues and the Minor Blues. (That's what they call them in the U.S) They are not just used in Country music; they are also used in Blues and Rock. Seems like this was a brit take on the scales. To generalize- the Major blues is associated more with Country and the Minor Blues with Rock. Blues uses them both, but prob the Minor more. The Major was also termed 'Ragtime' by some.
Lol. Had a 52. blond Telecastor or abouts..was real beat up..traded it for a newer red Strrat..bad choice.I didn't know any better. still regret it ..40 years later.
One precaution..I learned this by experience. I bought a replica ..if I remember right was a copy of the original trees. It. had a lousy sound. I took it apart.I look at the.value of the capacitors. They were different. I don't know if it was a original part or somebody made the improvement. Best thing to do is go to a dealer and try out today's version and the replicas. I took a bit of bath money wise. Live and learn.
Great video man ! ... I see you've not made any in 4 years. Hope you are well and will get back over here and make more . UA-cam needs good teachers like you :0)
It's good your doing this vid...my guitarist I was in a covers band with played by ear really well and did good playing rock leads...but he didn't know/or what the basic scales were or how they're relative to each other especially during chord changes...anyways...'KNOWLEDGE is POWER'
Major Pentatonic (I Saw Mom Mee Kiss Ing San) ta. 1 2 3 4 5. In C: C D E G A .. Another way to remember the major Pentatonic is by a chord. C6 add 2. C 6 is C E G A..add the D is a add 2. C D E G A..
I love the twang of the Tele. Played rock guitar for years, but never attempted to play country. Always up to a challenge. Thanks for your video.
I had to sift through a lot of BS videos to find this 9 year old video. THANKS. 😅 perfect and simple. YoUre the man
"My Girl" is by the Motown "The Temptations" . The mega hit was first released in December 1964.
It’s actually written by Smokey Robinson, unless my local radio station has informed me AGAIN.
@@erniepudwell627 wouldn't be surprised though the movie portrayed the moment they came up with that classic riff.
And here I thought this riff was from Bad Company's song "Young Blood".
i am today years old finding out theres a country pentatonic. ty sir

Great Lesson i have been a FrustRated lead Player For Many Years.And Hopefully The Penny Has Finnally Dropped.Cheers Adam.And All The Best My FRiend..
"... blend the two together."
That sounds amazing already, without me playing it.
Thanks man.
I subscribed.
And suddenly it all makes sense... I was born and raised in Texas, and I had to learn country scales from I presume, a British man.... pretty cool...
Don’t worry, me too!
Join the club😂
Learned more with this tutorial than others I've watched! Thanks for posting your knowledge!
The C Major lick is from THE TEMPTATIONS “My Girl”!!!
Great fun stuff. Cool how a simple tip will unlock a whole new world of playing. Thank You!
Thanks for teaching and not talking us to death. EXCELLENT
Thank you for the tutorial. I have just started country on guitar and this helps. Ignore the idiots and knockers who do not have the metal to put up their own lesson. Great stuff.
Nice work. You explain that better than anyone on the web. Seriously.
I’ll be watching this one over and over. Great overview, just what I was looking for, thanks!
Thank you

Right, "C Country Pentatonic" = same notes like "A blues Scale"
Yep. Only difference is the mindset behind the pattern. Same thing really
That's not really what he's getting at here. Watch all the way through again guys lol
I was just thinking this. Thank you. Lol.
Exactly and what made him sound "country" was more the tone and the chickin' pickin' style that he played rather than the scales he used. Want to sound country? Learn chickin' pickin'
What i've learned by watching these tutorials is that British people love country music.
"British people" who are they ?
Benny Hill...big time user of ocuntry themes for his tv series RIP!

20 years and you didn't know minor pentatonic and the blues scale? Check out Chordbook.com
@Tim Hitt It’s not about the notes but the context
Thanks Mike! Love you and the UK! Why? Why not! :-)
Simple but very useful
Thank you so much
As someone else mentioned yes no useless talking as well
Cheers

How to play a country lick:
Step 1: Throw away your regular guitar.
Step 2: Buy a Telecaster.
SirMorbid 1
a telecaster is a regular guitar.
Clifton Banks not here in Bangladesh it isn't.
But it's the only one that can double as a cutting board.
Do what now, almost sounded like theres another guitar besides a telecaster. Noooo LOL!
My Rickenbacker is a country guitar tone monster. Imagine a telly but with a much sharper twang.
I traded in my Fender and got me a bumper pretty soon I'll have a full body
Lol. Had a 52. blond Telecastor or abouts..was real beat up..traded it for a newer red Strrat..bad choice.I didn't know any better. still regret it ..40 years later.
Well done we all need reminding from time to time nice playing Good Man
very helpful
I love that shirt! Thanks for the video, as I'm just getting into country guitar playing. Very helpful!
Wow so easily explained. The a million
Great video! You explained it so well i was able to use the info right away, A+
a great lesson if you need to get some ideas to play fills in a country tune . Good one mate
Wish you'd just taken it a bit slower @ around 2:17 where all those riffs you mentioned are hiding. Thanks, though! It's a good, condensed lesson.
Dude I loved this lesson.
Love the shirt
The fact that British people are listening to country music proves that inside every Brit is an American waiting to come out.
who knew the O Jay's did MY GIRL? LOL wow TEMPTATIONS DUDE!!!
Well done mate......
"Country Pentatonic" (even though it has 6 notes?) is just the 2nd mode of the blues scale?
That's a good way to think about it. With the added flat third still thrown in.
Freaking awesome!
That 'cheesy' lick is called a "Flatt Run." I'll let you decide if your description is apt.
He lost me with that .... SMDH
Can’t wait to get me a telecaster!

Excellent thank you 🎸Bro
Adam Miles os the best tank' lesson 👍👍☝👍☝
Miles of Fret Buzz, Miles
The Temptations brother, not the Ojays. The great Joe Messina's lick.
that's already been mentioned about 30 times.
It wasn’t the OJs song. It was the Temptations song called My Girl.
Great except it wasn’t the O’Jays who sang “My Girl,” it was the Temptations.
Thank you. You are awesome..
love you picking
Great video man ! ... I see you've not made any in 4 years. Hope you are well and will get back over here and make more . UA-cam needs good teachers like you :0)
Nice one
i need only 1 watch to understand it. well explained, m8!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
nice country from somewhere like Leicester or Doncaster
Very close - Nottingham!
Thanks for posting !
Thank you 감사합니다~
Is the blues scale in A minor the same as the country scale in C major?
just great .
It’s all in the right hand
Why you not making videos anymore?
awesome shirt
Ok it's driving me crazy. The lick at the very end... what is it? It's from a song.
It's good your doing this vid...my guitarist I was in a covers band with played by ear really well and did good playing rock leads...but he didn't know/or what the basic scales were or how they're relative to each other especially during chord changes...anyways...'KNOWLEDGE is POWER'
Very succinct.
Thanks can see the cage system in that big help
Great information.
Very helpful😄thanks bro God bless😊.
great explanation adam thanx
It was the Temptation
2:45 3rd. NOT 4th. Yet the string is #4 but #3 fret
Good teaching
Nice
Nice.
how to know all minor and a major pentatonic scale
the Temptations not the O'jays
Yes sir was recorded by the temptations, released 1964, written by smokey robinson .
Thank you
Original was by the Temptations, but if you live in the UK, Otis Redding did the most successful version, nice though the Temptations version was.
Major Pentatonic (I Saw Mom Mee Kiss Ing San) ta. 1 2 3 4 5. In C: C D E G A .. Another way to remember the major Pentatonic is by a chord.
C6 add 2. C 6 is C E G A..add the D is a add 2. C D E G A..
Thanks! Very explainatory!
How did you learn these licks?
Ver cool!
the song is My Girl.
And the Brits are pretty darn good!
Great lesson,cheers
really great video mate!
26 seconds and didn’t say a word goodbye
Thanks guitar man!🎸😁
Are there any scale diagrams of these can't seem to find them by searching, major pentatonic w/ added b3rd. . .?
First of all, what kind of tele is that ?? How much does it weigh ??
Nice lesson, how do you get that snappy pick sound?
Great!🤠
Nice touch.
Hey Adam,can you do a lesson on the intro and solo of 'Your Man' by Josh Turner.
Cheers.Burle
The intro is a pedal steel guitar, it’s hard to replicate the same sound with a regular electric
In this are you hybrid picking? Or just using the pick
From what I can remember I was just flat picking. There may be the odd hybrid note in there too though...
For me its hard to understand the scale ...you didn't properly listed the notes ..so me as a newbie still can't play the scale
The "G Run" is not cheesy!
great video . keep it up
Muy bueno saludos de Chileee
Great lesson! Thanks subscribed
