Hey! If you liked this video, definitely stop by and take a look at my website: www.zombieguitar.com . You will love it!!

Top 5 guitar teachers on YT.

Eureka!!!! I've been studying intervals rather than notes for several months now. This video was a genuine light bulb moment, which confirmed that my recent studies and practice had been both accurate and successful. Thanks Brian ..... you're a star as always.

Wow!! The only teacher who has taken the bull out of bullshit and explained skills and modes off the bat!!! Nuclear physics for dummies!!! Absolutely brilliant lesson!!!!!

The patterns have been giving me hell for decades - I’d forget them within a few days of learning them - so I worked this idea out last christmas. With knowing the ‘spider’s web’ of the of the major scale - up and down - and knowing the intervals of the chords… it made it possible for me to finally start soloing. Really glad to see other people starting to think this way!

Great lesson, Brian..you certainly have the knack and talent to teach guitar, something not every guitar teacher is blessed with.

A lot of information, I was really looking for. Thank you! I play all different shapes of pentatonic, but I've found that understanding them in terms of intervals has made it easier for me to learn other scales without having to study the shapes individually. I think studying the shapes without understanding the intervals just clutters up my brain.

I don't believe it that after watching probably a thousand videos on scales I finally understood it all from your video. Either I am musically stupid as a rock or you are a genius teacher ...I will take it either way now that I understood:) thanks brother you are the best

Brian everyone should follow this lesson your giving the formulas for 3 or 4. Scales Thank You 🎸

Wow! Just came across your video for the first time. I'm a 65 y/o beginner and your explanation of intervals was eye opening. Thanks Brian! I'll be back.

Hi Brian. Many thanks for this lesson. I noticed these intervals by practicing in solo impro's but finally I understand the theory behind it and cut myself loose of these "static" shape positions. So happy I found your video. I'll check your page ;-)

Love your work! Great video!! You are a great teacher, thanks!

Your lessons are real gold nuggets Brian! Thank you so much! Best foreign guitar channel for me who am from France! Please continue to delight us with your wise advice! Plus a well-deserved "blue thumb "👍

And from there, triad and chords can be constructed around intervals too, of course. Thanks, Brian.

Great vid Brian as always, this has give me some new input on things. Thanks Brian.

Excellent and well explained lesson. Thanks for your content.

This approach makes more sense - thanks!

This is what I was looking for 😍 thank you so much

Awesome bro. Absolutely amazed me 😍👍🏻

All ways a pleasure to learn something new from this Gentleman 🤠 cheers keep Up the great work I love your lessons 💝

Great class cheers

very clear interval lesson. really nice.

Awesome mate! Thank u so much, Greetings from Amsterdam. Rock on 🔥🎸

Great lesson Brain. Keep up the great work and keep safe from Tasmania Cheers Pete

Thank you thank you thank you! I am so thankful I found this channel. You are a phenomenal teacher! Keep up the good work thank you so much for your inspiration

first time i got it… very good. Thanks.

Great way to look at other pentatonic scales simply by editing the am scale. Using that as your base! Thanks.

Great lesson Brian! Thank you, Its easier with intervals, and see the scale you want to play. The best o the best on internet.

Thanks, Brian.

I do enjoy your lesson Brian…….well done

I was just learning how to work on scale that way great thanks

Great approach to understand scales and not just to memorize the shapes!!

Very much Enjoyed and Needed this Video!!! I'm still digesting all the knowledge but I feel pretty good about it all. I'll try to focus more on the intervals and knowing which number note I'm playing. The next step being modifying the Pentatonic to create the other scales and then I got to work on how to phrase stuff in the newly created scale which hopefully the natural noodling around mojo will help me. Again Thank You Brian!!! Sorry I'm too poor to go to your website and support you financially. If you ever in Minneapolis holla at me in the comments on one of my videos. I'm a struggling Acoustic Player/Singer.

Just got the Tom Quayle app SOLO and it’s is exactly all about finding intervals so this will go hand in hand. I’m pretty good at 1,3,5, but suck at the rest🙃 thanks Brian!

I do like this... I remember watching the ole WWWHWWH type things and it always confused me when I got into the weeds of modes.. Cause then it constantly changes to things like WHWWHWWW and what have you... Numbers are always easier to remember for me...

There is a great group on Clubhouse where they discuss Music Theory. Ipiano. I mentioned your channel.

Great lesson - I nailed the 5 pent boxes, minor and major scales - all box forms - but man - if I want to move into modes - I'd have to learn even more boxes- or the box differences. So as of now I'm trying to convert to intervals so I can just change the formula vs the box. Boxes are comfortable though - guess time to move on from them.

Interval: from one note to another. Scale degree: a note's position on a given scale. e.g. In C major, A is the 6th. Its scale degree is 6. The interval from A to C is minor 3rd. The interval from C to A is major 6th. Learning pentatonics by scale degree is a great idea. Especially because it highlights the chord tones within the scale.

I have never thought in terms of boxes always intervals and where they are in relation to each other on guitar. 5th one string above root. 4th one below dominant 7th 2 frets back etc compensate for the b string when necessary and the whole neck and all scales open up to you

I always come back to your channel, Brian, I always learn something and I’m never disappointed- it’s all solid stuff! Isn’t that a Katana behind you? Is that what you’re using now? It’s a fantastic amp. 👍

Holy shit!

✊

I used to think interms of patterns..but i got to know the real theory behind it

Great lesson but I've been doing it that way for years. A legacy of a lifetime playing wind instruments...

Hi Brian, great class on the pentatonic scale (aka CAGED?) Thanks

Would it be detrimental to start at the major pentatonic and derive everything else from that? I could never bring myself to learn scale patterns. I am currently learning intervals up and down from the I(one) and V(five). Works for me. Thanks for all your work.

This is like taking someone from "painting by numbers" and teaching them color theory, and the foundations of art. Great, great stuff in this lesson! Challenging but the payoff will make one a far better musician.

Hi Brian! Great video as always! Please, I would like to ask if modes of the pentatonic major and minor scales exist? The 4th or the 5th or the minor 7th of the minor pentatonic scale and the 2nd or the 3rd or the 5th of the major pentatonic scale would be played as the root. If these modes exist, do they have a name and when are they used?

Hi Brian, so we have to learn the pentatonics formula and apply the intervals. What do you suggest whole scales or shorter pentatonic scales. When we have to use scale of 5 and when scales of 7 notes? Congratulations for your great knowledge and clear explanations 🎶

Where can I find all of the Scale Formulas

Brilliant and enlightening...thankyou...

Great lesson as always Brian, but those hot lights are working you. I am here in Texas with 100+ outside and watching you sweat inside under those lights makes me feel for you my friend.

🎉

Can this theory be used in chord form to write songs in a “circle of 5ths “ kind of way (hope I’m making sense

I have 1 question. From my (very, extremely, unbelievably) limited knowledge of Intervals, it seems like a flat interval, like a flat 2nd, flat 3rd etc... Is the same as a minor 2nd and minor 3rd? Is that right?

Aren’t the 5 different pentatonic shapes parts if the different mode scales? So shape 1 with A as the root is Aeolian or Ionian, and then position 2 would be B dorian or C Locrian depending on minor or major?

Hey, an ad interrupted your video. Wish you would put the ads at the beginning or end.

Legend deserves more subs just click the one button fellow musos!

ah sh*t, Kelly looking more professional.. nice levelup, brother.

Of all the studing guitar, I can not wrap my head around that. Feeling lost😯

Click …… OMG,! Thanks.

If hybridizing isn't a word, it should be.

Would anyone who could tell me what this scale or mode that is part of this notes sequence... First position : E,G#,A,B,D,E,G#,A,B,D,E,G# Tabs : ( E 0,4 ) ( A 0,2 ) ( D 0,2 ) ( G 1,2 ) (B 0,3) ( E 0,4 ).... I was able to dissect five position from it's notes, which has a really beautiful flavor but I don't know the name of this mode or scale sequence... Thank you

I was just learning how to work on scale that way great thanks
