I couldnt basically pick up on your instructional lessons for the past 3 months. But I continued to watch and learn, started noticing better playing an just my mind moving faster. Just wanted to say thanks an keep this lead playing ideas and basics coming.

You're easily becoming one of my favourite instructors on YouTube.

Learning the scale all the way up and down the fretboard was the biggest thing I’ve ever learned on the guitar. I was able to improvise my own solos on any track I wanted I got hooked on guitar forever

hey guys dont get confused either way you can make any minor pentatonic position into a major one by just changing the root note to the m 3rd of the minor penta to make it a major one!! you can also use the 2nd min penta position(which starts on the m3 anyways this is why it sounds major the formula rearrenges itself internally so the scale degress shift for that mode) this happens because of relatives for the pentatonic modes. minor p is R m3 4 5 m7 while shifting the root on the same formula on the 12 semitones to the m3 we get the major p R 2 M3 5 M6. I WILL MAKE A REPLY TO THIS VID WITH MORE DETAIL please like this comment if youre interested!!!

Mind blown in first 2 minutes. I can't believe it took me this long to realize that positional change. Thanks!

Ross! This is the best major-minor pentatonic scale lesson. Showing the differences going up one string is really helping me get it…….finally. I have watched many lessons. The rest of the lesson helps my reluctant brain too. Thanks

Videos like this are the very reason I bought Ross' course a couple of weeks ago. Whereas most instructors will introduce people to the concept of introducing chromatic elements to make pentatonic scales sound more musical, they fail to give any theory as to why or how it works. Another excellent lesson, Ross!

My guitar playing has taken off in a few month of discovering you. The progress is incremental compared to my 10 years worth practicing..I'm relearning and getting better!

[JorgeCela]

Great video! This is like BB. King "style" blues, his unique sound comes from mix the Major and Minor pentatonic

[motorcaster]

You are such a humble young man and these are very good nuggets...

[jamesmilam]

didn’t even know how to use a second scale, ie, never mixed major and minor. on jah, changed the way i play overnight

[JunkBondTrader]

a good way to practice, find a backing track that shows the scale on teh screen, and so it tells you when to switch. If you get good at playing along to that, you will be alot better at knowing when and how to switch it up.

STOP !! Before I watch any further, that intro is a lesson in itself 🤓🙏 Back to the lesson.

[JohnnyGuitarRocks]

Excellent video, this is a topic that I have been struggling with and now have a better idea of how to transition between the scales using the major 3rd interval. Thanks Ross!

[barrykenworthy]

thankyou ross have been playing for years mainly using min pattern
was confusing with guitar guys too much theory you have opened a door
thank you i will now go play.be back soon

[fabianelola]

I'm very thankful for you reminding me that Ross moment

[choochoochooseyou]

Why does every other video I have watched tell us the first position is at the opposite end of the neck?

[neutronbob]

I found a diagram that says your E major position 1 is actually position 5 of major pentatonic. Please explain

[josephkelley]

I bought his course. If you want to master the guitar, so should you. Thanks Ross.
