@Johnny Tightlips Okay so the major PENTatonic scale has the prefix PENT- meaning 5. So the pentatonic scale has 5 notes of the major scale. The major scale had all 8 notes in the key. The pentatonic scale only has 5 notes out of the key. I hope that answered your question
I need a little help from you tube nation. So, is there a difference between the major pentatonic scale and the major scale? The reason I ask is because I noticed that the major and minor pentatonic scales both have the same shape just on different frets. I have found a bunch of videos on youtube on the major scale that shows completely different shapes. I am a beginner and I am CONFUSED. Any help would be great. Thanks!
marty can do a lesson on the other positions that are a little more difficult becouse i found the G minor and B to be kind of easy but d and e i cannot tackle please help
If you want to stick with the original key they matter, but if you don’t, then have fun changing keys and playing pentatonic scales in between ;P
This was great! Opened up a lot of possibilities on the guitar for me! Thanks man!
Nice vid, good for 10min lesson 😀
Marty I really like your lessons,Ive been playing 31 years self taught with no theory.Now playing catch up with scales and modes -wondering what kind of hollowbody you’re playing
Does the fact that it’s Major or Minor matter or can I just play these positions in any song as long as I have the key right?
Just what I needed
They’re interchangeable. They mean the same thing so there’s not really any confusion.
marty u da man
Shouldn’t you say "tonic" each time you say "root"? I thought roots are used in a chord context, whereas tonics are used in a scale context.
is that a harmony rocket?
Most of the songs that you hear are in a major key, but the solo uses the minor pentatonic scale. It’s actually more common to play the minor pentatonic over a major progression than to play the major pentatonic.
@martyzsongs
is it ok if i use the minor pentatonic scales if the song is in a major key? or should i just use the major pentatonic?
oh, just noticed that’s what the top comment was, hahahah!
you remind me of batista from dexter a little bit
Your a good dude Marty. Thanks for all you do.
really great lesson shame i suck too bad to be able to do that lol
Can I use this over ANY chord progression? Or is it only for a chord progression in Am/Cmaj? I’m confused. lol
He makes people happy 🙂
Thank you
Marty, your lessons are real cool. You take your time to give us all free tuition that’s really helpful and useful and for this I thank you!
