    Brilliant lesson PT. Very clear. I primarily use that box being the level I am, but great ideas on how to make it more interesting. Cheers.

    Yes, but just mix the Am pentatonic with any notes of the C major scale (to make the A Aeolian).

    privettricker – thank you VERY much for this lesson! I’ve been playing for years and years as a songster/chorder and have even emulated Clapton solos via tablature convincingly, but never understood what was going on. You are the man! Great explanation. I am forever grateful.

    Privettricker, thanks so much for this lesson. This was really where I needed help. I can play the notes, but I was unsure "where to go." The best part was seeing how you put the set of notes/boxes together.

    On the 72 tour, they played Love in Vain in G. Mick T generally solo’d back and forth between minor and major pentatonic.

    PT – way to go here. I sent this to my grandson, who wanted to learn "how to figure out what notes to play" when soloing over a I-IV-V.

    BTW – sent you an email (with vid) a while back… ever get it?

    I should have said licks in future lessons with minor chord progressions.Yes I see your instruction for this lesson you demonstrate that note on 3rd string 6th fret.Your chording for this video is with dom.7th and 9ths.Your a very accomplished player with  both minor progressions and 7th progressions which is why I threw that out there.

    In the A minor blues there is a chromatic note on the G string (3rd string) at the 6th fret.I have read its the third of the A major scale.It can give blues licks a real gritty feel if thats what your after.Show us a gritty lick using this note,if you please.
