- NEW! Creative Soloing course by Steve Stine: g.guitarzoom.com/kje
In this guitar lesson, Steve Stine shows you how to create any scale you want simply by expanding the minor or major pentatonic scale to whatever you want. Steve also shows you how to practice it in one position on the guitar, AND explore the sounds of that scale using the 6th string as a drone to practice over.
When you learn to "explore" the colors of different scales, you can then learn to use them in your playing, your songwriting, and your solos, but you first need to spend some time learning what they sound like, and what works best for your musical situation.

Glad to hear this, Christian! Enjoy the journey!
@@gutzugalileo2126 I'm a year off, but age doesn't matter, only whether you do it or not (I'm 50 and have booned guitar-wise in 6 months). It's work and hurts and is better at 12, but only you hold you back. :)

You're doing a great thing for so many people, Steve, God bless!
Thank you so much!
I kept hearing the Fade To Black intro lead when you were playing that E dorian mode. I know enough theory to get by but this video focused in on how I usually play…idk names or modes off the top of my head but each has a specific feel/vibe I’ve memorized over the years. This is the good stuff man!! Thanks so much
Hey steve. Thanks for your lessons. I've been "playing" for 20ish year but until now havent truly learned or practiced. Your lessons have been invaluable. Cheers!
I'm so glad to hear this!
Just an outstanding tutorial of teaching people modes without them even knowing it! Excellent Steve.
Thanks Kevin!
Merry Christmas, the next year. Thanks Steve.
Thank you Steve.
I found that very interesting. Amazing how the sound changes with just a few different notes. The Japanese to Gypsy sound was amazing. I am definitely trying this. Cheers.
Very cool, Mike!
Wow, what an eye opener. Thanks Steve.
You are most welcome, Slowpoke :-)
Fantastic lesson!!
Much respect!!! Will be working on this today!!! Happy holidays!!!!

Happy thanksgiving man! Thank you for the lesson!
You are most welcome! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
I like the way you teach. I learned new ideas and even a few things about my own writing/playing. Subbed
Awesome!
Thanks Steve, As a advance beginner, you have expanded yet again for the viewer more avenue's to explore and enjoy what can be achieved by playing the guitar.
I'm so glad to hear that!
Thanks a million for doing these types of videos. Usually i get frustrated with scales or theory when applying it to the instrument, this type of stuff definitely keeps it from becoming dull and boring.
I'm glad to hear that! That's always the goal.
Hey man, just wanted to drop a thank you. Your videos have been immensely valuable over the years.
You are most welcome, Rob.
Great lesson on breaking down the scales! Thanks Steve

Amazing video, one of my favorite!
Awesome!
Great lesson.
I especially like the idea of playing over the low E note to hear the different "colors" of the scales.\
Thank's a lot for this idea!
You are most welcome!

You make it look so easy...wish my fingers felt the same way
The other day I was trying to explain the major and minor pentatonic scales to someone. I finally gave up and told him to look up Steve Stine on UA-cam because you explain things better than anyone I know.

Yeah, UA-cam is definitely a game-changer.

Thank you so much!
Thanks, awesome lesson, you really rock 😎🎸
Thank you so much, Elvis!
Thanks, Steve
You are welcome!
Steve, some of those modes sound like something from the psychedelic 60's. Would you be able to put together a lesson on some classic riffs, chords, and tone from that era? You're a terrific instructor!
Awesome video, I especially liked the exploration into the Japanese scale and what I call the Egyptian scale. If it's possible, it would be incredibly helpful to include timestamps for each scale when we come back to rewatch. Keep up the good work Steve!
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching! :-)

That's a lot of info. Thanks
You are most welcome!
Great stuff, thanks Iggy!...I mean Steve
this is great ... thanks ....
awesome video thanks so much!
You are most welcome!
Thanks for this video! Helpful! :)
You are welcome!
Nice video Steve! I was wondering if you can explain on a video on how to make my own Licks by using scales.please and thank you :)
Great lesson Steve. Would love one on which scales work best with Jazz. Thanks
There's something about Harmonic Minor that puts me in a trance or something. When I first learned it I'd just play the scale, up and down the neck in all positions, and never even learning any licks with it. *lol* The scale alone just took me over. Yeah, music is *POWERFUL!!* Great lessons, thanks Steve!!
You bet it IS powerful!!
I wish I could meet you in person and give you a handshake and a big hug for giving the best guitar lesson in the internet.
Maybe someday, buddy!
@@stinemusiclessons thanks steve
One scale that rules them all.
Hey Steve! I didn't use to leave comments on social media, but this video is excellent:
- plucking the string and playing notes over it sounds lovely, and I love these riffs ("Wherever I may roam", "Dead skin mask", "I just got paid", etc.). That not only allows You to hear how the notes compose to the plucked string, but also technically You have to avoid any contact to the string that would suppress the sustained sound.
- remarkable combination of theory and scales with a practice excersise. Playing scales at the first glance seem boring, unnecessary theory, so many people resist. But in a long run You can't play consciously if You doesn't know the notes location on the fretboard.
I bet it is incredibly hard to prepare a video lesson choosing in between of "simple things over and over again" for beginners and the theoretical, quality material for a narrow group of people. With this lesson You truly hit a jackpot!
Cheers, Mike
Thanks so much, Mike!
Thanks!
You are very welcome!
thanks
Mr.Stine could you make a video on how to play Rise and Fall by the Rigs
Please,stay at home,wash your Hands keep social Distance!All the Best from Switzerland!Stay healthy,positive,strong and mindfull!🙏all the Best to everybody!👍🤘👍👊
Love the lessons bro.Does Ibanez make a model similar with volume control slightly further from bridge?
Great video Steve. Could you make one about pentatonic but with technics to move forward and backward over the freatbord? That is a little tricky and not too much info about over there... Thank you and greetings from Buenos Aires!
He has a great video series called "Absolute Fretboard Mastery" that goes into detail about ways you can connect each minor pentatonic scale position and being able to master your fretboard. Free on his UA-cam channel!! Steve is a great teacher.
Thank you Jeff.
I'll check it, thanks!
So many scales... man everytime I think I have a vast knowledge of things, Steve reminds me I am a guitar moron. I would be sad if I didnt know we all are... Always something new to learn!
Yep, it doesn't matter how long you have been playing, the road goes on forever, and in multiple directions. We just have to learn to choose what makes the MOST sense for our path...
Thanks for the tips Steve but dudeeee that outro riff, so sick man. What song is that from?! I gotta hear all of it ahaha 🤣
Hi Steve this is so inspiring your teaching is precise and to the point I am drawn to the exotic I am listing to cello drones in order to find the notes in every where I can place my fingers I think I want to learn this way am I wrong? Greetings fae Scotland
There's really no "wrong" way to learn, there's just what makes sense to you, and what you need to further develop your guitar path. That's what makes guitar so crazy is that we are all so different, and some people need more of "this" and others need more of "that".
But in saying that, learning to "listen" to scale tones and how they work with chords (even just single notes) is very important to develop creativity, ear training and many other elements that "logic" doesn't always offer.
Don't get me wrong, learning theory and understanding music is VERY important for many players, but mixing exploration and creativity is also important.
Very cool and great lesson Steve!! A pity it's too short :(
I try to find a happy medium so the videos don't get too long for viewers, but hopefully, it will help you :-)
Hi Steve, thank you for the tutorial, do you have any video that helps improve speed on the finger taping? thanks again
To be honest, Eddy, I don't really do a lot of finger tapping, although I enjoy listening to good players use it.
Hey Steve eny suggestion on learning all the scales at once or the most important ones that are used the most
Hi Steven, the "most common" ones would be major and minor pentatonic to begin with, and they are very useful in multiple styles/situations, and then the common "major" and "minor" diatonic scales would be next.
There are so many good ones, but those are great places to start.
thank you so much, it is a treasure of a lesson! Can you please make a dedicated one on Japanese scales? They are the essence of versatility in simplicity and can be such a useful tool in many situations
You are so correct! I will certainly put your request on the list, Asta.
@@stinemusiclessons thank you in advance!
Steve the link to the guitar scales in PDF is now out of service. I would like to get a copy if I can. John P
This is some next level sh**t!! Thank you sir.
You are most welcome!
Access to the download link is not possible !?
Sir can you make notes on your course for all the scales and for all notes like A , C etc
Dev, you should definitely check out Steve's new course Essential Guitar Scales:
guitarzoom.com/essentialguitarscales/promo/
This course breaks down essential pentatonic and diatonic scale patterns, so you can use them to solo with true freedom anywhere on the fretboard. And the special discount and bonuses got extended for a week, so be sure to check it out! :-)
-- Mike from GuitarZoom
another beginner here and I very much enjoyed watching your videos. I have a question about your reference about 'degrees' on this one.. I am sure you've covered it somewhere in the past, can you please refer me back to it, or elaborate more what '3rd', 6th, etc. degrees means? Tnx.
I might have to make a video for you explaining this. I will put it on the list :-)
I look forward to it. thanks much.
Hey Steve, I'm following you for sometime and I think you are one of the most gifted teachers here on UA-cam. I have a problem though, hope you read this comment and reply back.
I am starting to practice your meandering technique with pentatonics and I'm able do that at 90 bpm quarter notes on metronome. But my problem is that my right hand keeps hitting the wrong strings. Can you help me in what I should do to improve that. Thanks a lot!
Honestly, one of the most important things to do is to slow down even more when you practice to develop the picking hand. Another thing you can do is practice simple ideas with JUST the picking hand to better develop synchronization so you hit the proper strings.
Most of the time, patience and practice will make these elements more cohesive as you continue to learn and practice, so don't worry too much, BUT you can always try those things mentioned to focus more on the problem.
I have a video coming out this week with some simple practice tips to help develop your fretting hand...
@@stinemusiclessons OMG the god himself replied to me !! Thank you so much. I will keep these things in mind and practice even slower. And it would be great if you can make a video on how to improve your picking hand as well sharing some exercises to practice :) Thanks again !

Hey all I'm a super noob, just started playing 4 months ago. What are the things on the nut of the neck on his guitar? They look like clamps or something. Thank you in advance. Love your videos too, they have helped me a great deal in self teaching :)
It's called a "locking tremolo system" and it helps to keep the guitar in tune when I use the "whammy bar". You'll learn all that stuff soon enough :-)
@@stinemusiclessons oh ok, awesome. Thank you so much!
