Ah found yah...years ago I knew you did the background music for the "other" channel, so was wondering if you were still playing. Today I stumbled on your music channel....and yes you are still playing...and quite well. Have to thank you for explaining what I have been doing for the last 40+ years. Yeah was self taught by ear so dropping to the minor just always sounded sooo cool but didnt know the reason behind it. and yes it really does open up the fret board when playing. Thanks again....will Sub yah...rock on
Basic knowledge of music theory + Your favorite ax + your favorite amp + Loop pedal + empty garage + beer + warm summer day = A hell of a good time for your whole street.
I play the Hammond B-3 and when I am called upon to do an ad-lib solo, I will often base my solo on the relative minor. It adds a new dimension to the solo and makes me sound like a better player than I really am. Thanks for pointing out this valuable tool.
Thanks Eric it helps. I play piano. And I am working through the Circle of 5ths in the ii-V-i . Playing pieces I can work it out. But improvising is a whole another world. .. and this makes sense to me.
All that soul and it's wasted on a Les Paul and not blessed by a Strat.... The relative minor with it's Sharps and Flats is the 6th note in its relative Majors key. A quick fix is just subtract 2 from the Major key and you have the relative minor, but that won't tell you the sharps and flats alone unless you know the key signature.
this has just explained what i coudnt work out wonderful stuff great knowledge thank you
You dropped mad knowledge on this one
Great lesson, have Deluxe also, love to playing it!

Love your playing and the way you explain stuff! Not to complicated and something for everyone!

Excellent presentation of relative minors!
That guitar and your vibrato were made for each other.

Dang it man, this is exactly the kind of playing I want to learn
Great theory lesson aside, there are some super tasty licks in here that I will be taxing (stealing)
Shows you can do anything you want with not much more than a pentatonic scale
Do you still have shirts? I want to order one for my 40th bday.

I just sort of memorized it. We’ve got lots of strat videos too
