Hello Cherries! It's common to learn the minor pentatonic scale. Most people learn shape 1 and it last them a life time, and that's pretty cool 😊 In that shape 1 you also have a chord shape that matches, the Em shape. Add 2 more notes to that pentatonic scale now you have the full natural minor scale. You can actually superimpose all 3 shapes, chord, pent, minor scale on top of each other and see that it lines up like a puzzle. It's a great visualization trick 👍 To take it a step further you can do this in 4 other positions on the fretboard 🤨 It's a concept called the CAGED System. Based off of 5 chord shaped C A G E D. This first shape was built off of the E shape. The other 4 shaped are built off the CAGD shapes but in a minor fashion 😁 This system is the best way to approach the guitar that I've ever seen. It organizes the guitar in the best way posable so that everything you learn gets applied to it. The system is as old as the guitar itself. It's nothing new. It's just something someone pointed out one day that made a whole lot of sense 🎸 In this video I'll show you how to connect the minor scale to the minor pentatonic scale that's connected to the chord shape. Enjoy the video Everybody and have a great weekend ❤️ Happy playing.
How To Use MODES to Understand Intervals and Create New Sounds
Hello Cherries! There's a expression that Modes are like Moods 🤔 Every one of them has a different sound and evokes a different emotions 🤨 Some people think that Modes are unimportant in music 😩 One benefit of them is that it's a way to verbally communicate a sound with other musicians 🗣️ When you say this chord has a #4 or #11 "Same thing," they'll know its some kind on Lydian mode sound. It's worth exploring all the modes and sounds. Don't get stuck on one sound and say that's it. Music is an endless discovery. The closer you get to it the farther away you are💡Enjoy the video Everybody and have a great weekend ❤️🎸
