Learn to improvise—minor pentatonic hack!!

Learn and memorize the 6th and 5th string up to the 12th fret before attempting this. Once you have your pattern 1 minor pentatonic down and you know the notes up the neck you will be able to nail this idea! Have fun and please consider subscribing!

Me whose a self taught playing guitar for 2 years but only acoustic: "The penta- what scale?"

[gabogabo]

Another way of putting it is: major pentatonic starts from the pinky on the E string and it's relative minor starts from the index on the E string

[llamalad]

Index on the root: Minor
Pinky on the root: relative major
🔄
Pinky on the root: Major
Index on the root: relative minor

The best method to improvise is to train your ears and use them. If a note sounds like garbage in the musical context, don't play it.

Damn..bro I've needed this knowledge for 30 years. Thank you

Granted I may have misunderstood your point regarding relative minor however...if you play minor pentatonic pattern one at the fifth fret, you are playing the Am pentatonic scale. Am happens to be the relative minor of C maj, which is also at the 5th fret. Move down 3 frets (2nd fret) and play pattern one you are now playing the A maj pentatonic. (BTW relative minor of A is F#m) Useful for being able to play both major and minor pentatonic scales when a song is in a major key. The minor pentatonic adds some 'bluesy' feel to your riffs.

I call it the circle of thirds.. take all the notes make a circle like you were trying to find your fifth.. to find your third minor you grab the note make it your first count back 2...

If you're starting with D minor as it seems like he is teeing up... Counting back three gets you to D major. It's not the relative major (which would be f major), and it's also definitely not the relative minor as he said in the video.

Only if that key is a major if it’s a major then yeah but if it’s a minor then just play the a minor pentatonic, once you can play minor across then neck ad arpeggios and major scales to

[ivanbrickhousepalinic]

You can also move up to the major pentatonic box when soloing in minor by doing the reverse and getting more notes to play with.

Holy cow this is good, thank you so much!

[ryanperi]

So in this example, in the key of D you can play both the D major scale and then back 3 frets to play the relative minor pentatonic scale?

[dailydoujinshi]

Wow, you solve my problems man. thank you!

[Humbucker]

That was simple and so effective perfect You're a brilliant man to put it in that simple form thank you so much!

[reeferfranklin]

Making the pinky your root of the mahor key you're in is how I think about it.

[groadybones]

Booyah! I needed a video on precisely this topic. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, kind sir!

[videosforthegoodlife]

I learned just put your pinky over the note on the 6th string and you are set. Because counting back 3 is too hard for guitarists I guess lol

[Skipperthepengin]

I was just wondering about this! Simple yet insanely helpful.

[jasongonzalez]
