Write Pentatonic Chord Progressions with Fake Dr. Levin

My music -
In this lesson I demonstrate a fun way to come up with beautiful and sometimes strange chord progressions using pentatonic scales!

Thank you so much! I am glad you found my channel and that it is helping you. I will make many more videos for many more years!

I see that you ended a video about pentatonic scales on 5:55. Classy.

[satchfan]

Wow simple yet really effective way of finding new sounds. So few guitarists break out of the minor/major pentatonic mentality. YOU ROCK

[gabrielmorton]

ever listen to ethiopian music (particularly mulatu astatke)?  this is exact concept is implemented all the time. i could never put my finger on how it was achieved, you blew my mind.

That's cool Brad! Pentatonics are really open and if you try putting different roots underneath these triads you get way different sounds.

[Democalypse]

Woah. That was some seriously cool stuff. Not only useful for creating awesome chords, but seems like it could help me break out of the "box" a little. You are the best!!

[BenLevin]

I am so thrilled with the response to this video! Here is one great pentatonic scale based on A dorian: A B C E F#

Try it and see how it goes! I haven't made chords with it yet.

[BenLevin]

That's awesome, what an amazing review, you made my day!

[dowellkidd]

You should have been my guitar teacher when I first started, I probably would have stuck with it instead of taking a huge break from playing. Great video, helped me a lot.
