This is gonna take some time for me to figure out as still trying to get the major and minor scale patterns down but you've shown me it all starts with the rute note as the anchor. 👏🏽

You give the guitar community another reason to like Fridays, Rusty! 🙏🏻 I like how you make the mayor pentatonic sound bluesy and musical. I’m a minor pentatonic guy but this lesson might move me to mayor for a while! I wish you a nice weekend! All the best from Belgium 🙏🏻😎☀️🇧🇪

Thanks Rusty, for your knowledge and ability to explain ! So helpful in my guitar journey, you are a fantastic teacher and player.

Yeah, those simple patterns around the root note make it easy to navigate both major and minor pentatonic. You can even throw in a 2 in the minor or a b7 in the major to get some sweeter sounds.

Thanks Rusty, this is right where I’m at this will really help understanding the major and minor sound around the root. Lesson learned !

[derekclacton]

All the right notes, in all the right places! 🎸🙂👍

You make things so easy and understandable without being complicated. You are a great teacher and know how to communicate your ideas to the average Joe.

Thanks as always. Great simple strategy I will apply. I’m always fighting the overthinking. For a quite a few months I’ve been finding all the notes, on each string, of the circle of fifths, within the first 12 frets. I started at 60 bpm & have slowly worked up to 115. My goal is 120. But, I’m finding the triads quicker and the root notes of scale’s & arpeggios. Slowly, I’m getting rid of the dead spots on my fretboard. Thanks again for this finger position strategy. This fits well with where I’m at in studying this great instrument.
