So glad I first learned saxophone in jhs band before i picked up the guitar. Pentatonics should come AFTER you know how the scales and modes work.

You the favorite guitar teacher in all times of history EArth!....just right on the edge of being full of

I do need that cable. My solo was coming up so I was going to do something epic. At just the right time, ran up, jumped off stage and started my epic sole....except the bass player was standing on my cord. It was yanked out of my guitar, I blew the PA system up, and found myself standing in the crowd with no sound coming out of my guitar. And to my surprise I didn't get laid that night. Women can be so picking when it comes to the smallest of details in a performance.

Sticking stiff things into cavities should always be as smooth as with this guitar cable!

So question. Would the pentatonic part of this lesson be over a complete G chord vamp, or would the chords go to em, bm, am respectively with/under the pentatonic change? To clarify if someone was to jam with you and was just playing the chords, would they play the respective minor chord to the pentatonic or would they hang on G the entire vamp?

In the same way the C major and A minor pentatonic notes spell CAGED, the G major and E minor pentatonic notes spell BADGE in a jumbled way. But shapes are more useful in general. Both can work though I suppose. The problem for me is that I don't see the shape but it sounds really nice and musical.

I'd recommend a hat with a slightly longer brim 😉

I just kept hearing Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here. You might as well go the rest of the way and turn it into lesson. 👍

I can't hit a lick on the guitar.
I just enjoy your style.

[Rob_who]

I find the best way to learn is just play around if it sounds good it is good

[markkindermannart]

I keep hearing Banana Pancakes...good stuff in here

[TexLogan-duyi]

Thank goodness for your girlfriend's mother. Great lesson.

Basically the Lenny lick. Learn Lenny. It will change how you use the pent scale

Em pentatonic = G major pentatonic

I'm slow and need to point this fact out to myself.

Well better your ex-girlfriend's Mom tell you, than your wife's boyfriend 😂.
