Jerry Cherry | Pitting The Cherry

Hello Cherries! Did you know that it's possible to play chords in any key on guitar without using a capo? You can achieve this by transposing, which involves shifting the chord shapes down or up the neck to match the desired key. In this video I'll show you how to use this cool G7th capo, and I'll also show you how to play the same chords without it. Enjoy the video and have a happy Sunday Everybody 🎸

Hello Cherries! Happy June 1st. Most guitar players get stuck "in the box." 🤨 That mean that they're playing in the pentatonic shape position 1 that we all "know and love." 🧐 In this video we're going to focus on a different position. One that we "don't know and hate." 😡 I can guarantee you that after a while you'll enjoy playing there 😊 These are the same notes just arranged a little different so you wind up playing new licks that you never played before. There are 5 positions. We're just taking them one at a time 🎸 Enjoy the video and have a Happy Sunday Everybody ❤️

Hello Cherries! The Minor Pentatonic scale, a five-note scale, is a great starting point for playing blues solos 🤨 It's easy to learn, and you can play it in five different positions along the fretboard, each with it's own shape 🧐 Use these shapes to play your favorite blues licks 😊 In this ⬇️NEW VIDEO⬇️ I'll show you how to play this scale in all 5 positions 🎸 I'll also show you how to blend in the chord tones for targeting notes so that you'll be playing like your favorite blues players. Enjoy the video and have a great week Everybody ❤️

Today we Honor our heroes on this Memorial day 💜 Much love and respect for those who fought, and died for our country. They're the reason I'm able to play my guitar and share my insight with you 🎸 In this video I'll give you some important pointers on soloing over a Minor Blues Progression. In the key of C minor you can use just the C minor scale 🧐 You can also the 3 different minor pentatonic scales, even the C harmonic minor scale 😊 But, no scale sounds good with the right bending, vibrato, and feel 🥲 Enjoy the video everybody and have a great week ❤️

Hello Cherries! Playing a little blues for you on a Sunday evening 🎸 Jimi said " Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel"  I couldn't agree with him more. One thing that's easy is The Minor Pentatonic Scale. Many guitar players don't utilize the 5 different positions you can play it in. I'm guilty of that too. In this video I'll demonstrate playing a blues progression in the key of D using all 5 pentatonic positions. I also give a few other essential tips on playing the blues. Enjoy the video Everybody and have a great week 😊

Hello Cherries! Do you know the formula for creating a Major scale, or any scale 🤨 If not, "don't fret it." Actually you want to fret it. If you go up or down the fretboard one fret at a time its called a half step. If you go up or down 2 frets it's called a whole step or a "Step." A scale is just a series of half and whole steps in a certain order. Some scales have a step and a half between notes. That's 3 half steps if your keeping up 😊 In this ⬇️NEW VIDEO⬇️ I'll show you the formula for the Major scale. From there you'll be able to easily learn the natural minor scale, and all of the modes of the scale. 🎸 Enjoy the video and have a great weekend Everybody ❤️
