If you're signed up to my Patreon at any level (found here - bit.ly/2RrRAUv) I have posted a PDF and 8 mp3s that I made for this video.
The pentatonic minor and major scales are really a thing a beauty. They work incredibly well as a lead-playing device, in many different circumstances. This video demonstrates several different chord progressions, keys, and tonalites, and compares the effects of pentatonic major versus minor in them.
The result might be unexpected depending on your understanding of theory. Hopefully by the end of this video, you will have a better idea of when you can and can't (or should and shouldn't) be rocking out in one of these scales.
A few things to note- when adding a b3 to a major chord like we talk about here, it's best to refer to it as a #9. Chords and keys shouldn't mix thirds, but it's okay to have an augmented ninth or second as a color tone.
Also, I'm never happy with my improvising and there's quite a bit of it in this video. But I did really enjoy the way the blues sections came out for this video, I stumbled across just the right settings in my DAW to get a killer tone that has eluded me for a long time. I think that inspired some of the tastier playing I've got to show off on this channel.

The Pentatonic Scale may be so limiting, but I think that's a part of its charm; it's incredible and versatile in any genre, and can sound so amazing with the right tones. Awesome work man

I remember when you only had 26k subs. Amazing job Jake!

Brilliant... I rely LOVE the "in context" demonstrations with PREPARED background tracks (not just a quick loop pedal backing)... it helps me hear what you are saying in a context I'm wanting to play in... thank you for taking the time to put this out there!

Thank you for talking about "bad solo territory." I hear so many solos by "great" guitarists that are basically just fast noodling on the minor pentatonic. They don't show any understanding of how to play over chord changes. It's like they learned how to solo on one scale and never progressed beyond that.

Well done. Great video. Been looking for a video like this for ages. Really helpful 👍
|
Fabulous, as always! Crystal clear, fun and great examples given. Thank you yet again for all your help.
|
And another excellent contribution from one of my favourite You Tubers. As usual so clearly explained and expertly demonstrated. I'm looking forward to the next! :-)
|
I'm so gladI found your channel. All your videos are very informative and I've actually been able to expand my tool box thanks to you.
|
Hi Jake and everyone else, hope you have a good day 🙂

Amazing how you casually throw in information which is just super useful. Love your videos!!
|
Thank you for making things clearer!
|
Thank you again bro! I'm having a GREAT time with your videos! Really fantastic! I'm following the lessons with my piano, and it's just flows as good as with the guitar :)
|
Super this rounds up most of my beginner theory course.
Concise and very good explanation.
You rule Jake.
Huge Fan!
|
All your videos are so good. Amazingly good at describing and elaborating in ways that are easy to digest. I watch and rewatch your videos when I hit ruts in my guitar playing (which happens plenty often)
|
hands down best video on this topic. you are a fantastic teacher!
|
I loved the improv! Such a good player and teacher. Your examples helped me pinpoint what some of my favorite bands sound like.
