Superimposing Pentatonic Scales on Guitar – The Ultimate Guide!

In this crystal clear @QJamTracks guitar tutorial you will learn all about superimposing minor pentatonic scales over major, minor, diminished and altered chords. Everything is explained with top notch graphics and tablature on screen. You will also learn to use this technique to create modal improvisations with a simple pentatonic scale on your guitar. Think of the dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian and Locrian mode. This technique of layering minor pentatonic scales of different keys over different chords is used in modern Jazz, but is also a great asset for rock guitar players and suitable for other styles of guitar soloing. I show you why and when to use a certain scale to get a certain effect. Never a boring solo again. Even the altered chords are covered in this video. So this is the ultimate guide for superimposing pentatonic scales, explained crystal clear with super clear graphics and examples with tablature.

E-BOOK - Superimpose Pentatonic scales

[Sparkda]

Your channel is SEVERELY underrated, I've learned a lot from your videos the past couple of hours.

[Piper]

Rob..this should be required watching for anyone starting out trying to learn to improvise. This indeed was crystal clear!!!

[raydanielz]

No one comes close to you when it comes to your teaching. What an eye opener every lesson is.

[xroger]

That's the simplest way i think I've ever heard of showing what modes are in practice 👍👍👍

[halfindy]

This helps me think without overthinking! Great lesson! Now I need to work on the flow.

[MrMulteX]

Very worthwhile to go through this slowly, stop the video and look at what is happening to see how the different modes are created by adding a pentatonic to an existing chord. GREAT STUFF!

[footballtuber]

I was looking for this kind of lesson for about 10 years. Thank you.

[JunkYour]

Omg this is the best guitar video on the internet. There’s someone on the internet who did this for piano with the pentatonic grip and I was like “where is someone doing this for guitar?”

[williamcompitello]

The Lydian one has opened up our 3rd eye!

[strikingtwice]

Been playing for about 30 years and have learned all these things in and out over that time, and this is one of the best most well articulated and demo’d refreshers of it I’ve ever seen. Awesome, thanks

[tomg]

Exceptional. No waffle, and as stated, crystal clear. The best superimposing of pentatonics video Ive seen, including some 'bought' videos.

[pollopinolo]

Best lesson ever about superimposition and best channel as well. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your gold nuggets! Greetings from Italy. Sincerely, Fabio!

[deankerma]

Great lesson. Well organised and presented clearly. I learnt a lot.

[andyl]

Absolutely fantastic lesson. I have been drawing charts, writing down scale degrees and staring at the neck for literally years trying to understand this exact concept. Thank you!!!

[robertsylvester]

Definitely some stuff I need to learn, and I have been playing for over 20 years but self taught. Grateful you made this.

[Marcosls]

You are a gifted teacher, and this was an amazing masterclass..thanks so much for sharing this!

[gusdogbrownlab]

Excellent....struggled with modes but can understand this

[josefinigo]

Rob, amazing clarity and precision illustrating soloing guide,

[llwonder]

Before seeing this, I literally didn't even know this was possible. This was a great application of theory that I never could even conceptualize. I've never seen another lesson like this. Excellent effort on the diagrams and also interesting backing tracks and licks.
