  • Modernise the Pentatonic scale & break out of the box with these fresh arpeggio ideas!
    In this video, we explore combining adjacent Pentatonic boxes to create wider intervalic sounds. This gives a new visualisation for each of the Pentatonic positions as well as more interesting #pentatonic vocabulary when using these scale shapes on the guitar.
    This concept creates modern Pentatonic #arpeggio shapes which we experiment with using different pattern variations and hybrid picking techniques. The ideas in this video should definitely add to your #guitar licks & vocabulary as well as give you a new approach to using the Pentatonic scale within your improvisational language.

    The paradox about the pentatonic is that it is easy to play and to make it sound good when you're beginning, but it is tricky to make it not sound cliché when using it in more complex harmonic contexts or when you expand your musical concepts. Therefore, it's both a basic and an advanced scale. brilliant video, thanks!

      @johnp.johnson1541 3 місяці тому

      The pentatonic minor never is an advanced scale.
      It is a minor 7 chord with an add 4. Or you can think of it as a minor 11 with a dropped 2.

I'm not asking if this guitarist is a beginner (he's obviously brilliant), I'm asking if you think a beginner would be able to use this scale like he does, in this harmonic context and with this choice of intervallic patterns.

    Very cool idea - the applications for this are endless. I can see this as a great tool for breaking the usual cliched scalar sound of pentatonics without then falling into the other trap of just playing triad based arpeggios.
    It immediately sounds like Coltrane on A Love Supreme to me - and played really fast it’s instant Richie Kotzen shred territory. Win win!

    I really like this method and use it alot. Its a clean way of using all the sus4 and sus 2 soynds of the major/minor pentatonic scale. The whole problem on guitar with being stuck "in a box" is everyone is 1st taught one position and practice that way when really (like every instrument) everything should be practiced using 3 and 4 octave range.
    On guitar it is alot more complicated and it takes alot of shifting and jumping like those 3nps pentatonics.
    I try to practice everything using the full range of guitar and it should be taught more to do so.
    Pentatonic 313's 231313's, 313313's 2nps, 3nps, 4nps
    The major/minor scale
    2 nps, 3nps, 4nps, 343434
    Arppegios 212's 213's for example.
    Wind instruments and piano is just straight up and down. Stringed instruments are completely different.
