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 ๐ 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 ๐ To take it a step further you can do this in 4 other positions on the fretboard ๐คจ 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 ๐ 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 ๐ธ 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.
Identifying The Triads Within Each Major Pentatonic Shape
Hello Cherries! Have you ever tried to find the Triads within the Pentatonic Shapes ๐คจ Triads are groups of three notes (root, third, and fifth) ๐ง By identifying these triads, you can create more melodic and harmonic lines. In this ⬇️ NEW VIDEO ⬇️ I go through all 5 Major Pentatonic Positions, 1 string set at a time. Within these positions were going to play the Major Pentatonic Scale and find the triad within the string set. I offer a FREE PDF of all the graphs that I created for this video. This exercise opens up the fretboard for improvement better than anything I know ๐ธ Enjoy the video and have a great weekend everybody ๐
