Must Haves for any Guitar Player:

Now that you've learned how to play the pentatonic scale pattern #1, you're ready to learn another scale, which we'll call pattern #2. It's easy to master with the step-by-step instructions in this video tutorial.

So, we've learned pentatonic pattern 1. Let's learn pattern 2 and then we're going to put it all together eventually, right? So, pattern 2, how about we do it at the 12th fret, so it's going to go 1, 4, 1, 4, 1, 3, 1, 3, here's where it gets tricky, 2, 4, and then 1, 4. So let's go over that again. We have 1, 4, 1, 4, 1, 3, 1, 3, 2, 4, 1,4. Then, of course, backwards we want to do the same thing but just starting on the higher note, right? 4, 1, 4, 2, 3, 1, 3, 1, 4, 1, 4, 1. How about we do it at the 7th fret. 1, 4, 1, 4, 1, 3, 1, 3, 2, 4, 1, 4. How about backwards. How about at the 3rd fret. And, of course, let's try it open. Again, we have to imagine there's a fret here, but we're going to do it in a more natural position, and it looks like this: 0, 3, 0, 3, 0, 2, 0, 2, 1, 3, so no open string there right. Just 1, 3 and then 0, 3 for the last one, and then of course, backwards is the same. There you go, pentatonic pattern 2.

Been digging around to learn more on the pentatonic and this guy nails it as far as teaching no showing off just teaching

[sumichowdhury]

No showing off, pure teaching. Perfect

So after being roasted by my Uncle about not knowing the pentatonix scales when I tried just playing the song with tab and got somewhat past the intro, so I decided to look into some videos and wow. You are the first person over ever watched who doesn't show off and actually thoroughly explains the patterns. Thank you so much!

[wareagle]

a friend told me I should learn scale to better myself as a guitar player. thank you for making that possible and not showing off, I owe you a sub my man.

I can’t afford to hire a guitar teacher right now but really want to learn the scales. I thank you for not making people pay to learn something necessary to playing guitar.

And for the people that may not WANT to learn "boring theory", my suggestion is just do it. I sure as heck wish I had "way back when"! There is a fundamental difference between "playing" and UNDERSTANDING 'what' you are playing. With that understanding, your ability to just "jam" will REALLY kick into gear! :-) ASK your teacher if they are not teaching you at least basic theory. Ask questions like "Why does 'this' chord sound good with 'that' chord, and go from there! :-)

when you have a scale you can play a melody within that scale.. just by going back on fourth on it doing hammer ons and pull offs you will create a melody.. so in a way its a bunch of tones that sound good together.. and you can you have to play relative to the singer.. so if the singer has a deep voice your guitar playing will match, usually not the other way around. cheers and good luck

First demonstrations I've seen after scanning for days, that makes this so simple! Great job, love your videos! Thanks!

[vettemaniac]

I echo what others have said here ... But I'll say it anyway. Thank you for understanding the word "beginner" and for breaking down pentatonic scales slowly and clearly. The Tube is loaded with Clapton wannabes who show off their masterful skills more than they teach. I admire those who can play with great skill. I just don't need or want to see blistering solos when I'm trying to learn the basics and working hard at it. Again, thank you. = NEW SUBSCRIBER!!!

@GirlyGirls432 You see, when you play the scale in the same key your backing track is in, Your able to solo perfecty using scales. Try in out, Start with the root note "A" and play the scale on a backing track which is also in the key of "A". Hope it helped

[leascaart]

I LOVE THIS!!! This video should have gazillions of views.

[cashmeer]

That you for using fret and string referencing instead of key and note lol I forgot how to read music so now I play by ear lol but I’ll learn again but this absolutely helped!

[calebhart]

I have been watching videos for ever trying to learn this stuff.dude made it super easy.thanks man I'll be jamming now

[Ouem]

According to the majority of books and videos I have seen, this is pattern number 4 for the minor scale and pattern number 3 for the major scale. Just saying. Now I'm really confused. Thanks.

[Thisismetman]

Great teaching! Simple and to the point, thank you!

[JohnnyDoesStuff]

these videos are great.. ive taken 5-6 lessons, and the person teaching me never taught me scales... great for hand dexterity and picking... both of which i currently suck at lol

[cenohd]

thank you so much, im playing acoustic guitar but this still helps a lot

[toheroguitardude]

Finally a video gets straight to the point

[Jabroni_-xgbc]

God bless this dude 🙏 teaching free stuff

[GamingMusicandTech]

Sweet telecaster man! You should name the key of all these scales though.
