When he walked up the minor scale and descended on the major scale in the same position... that alone sounded totally country to me. Really cool insight!

“Or 15 minutes into st Stephen by the dead” I’m a fan of this kid now he said the right thing

Wait... All I had to do was skip prom and I could have played like that? Talk about a wasted night. Great lesson. Thanks!

I’ve taken a skype lesson with this man and the concept he explains towards the end he calls “Proximity Pentatonics” and it absolutely 100% works!

I’m visualizing the overlay between major and minor as I’m playing my way up the fretboard. And I think I’ve got it now, finally! I’ve been playing since 1982 and you just open the door for me! This lesson took me to a whole new level of playing. I appreciate the effort you put into making this video. Thanks👍

Subscribed... He is a masterpiece of conciseness and warmth. Never talks down and is not too overbearing on the skill, even though he is bloody good. Oh well, back to another 10,000 hours of kerplunking practice

I'm really grateful for your video, this really opened my eyes to country playing. I've been playing blues and rock for a long time and wanted to start crossing over into country and this video was insightful. Excellent playing and instruction!

A truly marvelous lesson. I honestly expected to be bored to tears at the revelation of 'its major versus minor pentatonics', but the way you delved into that really made great sense, particularly overlaying of major and minor in the same position rather than thinking of the relative majos and minors. Yes more challenging but so much better for mixing the two flavors and mastering the fretboard. Kudos. Aloha.

Thanks for the lesson Daniel, best lesson I've seen that links the two worlds in a direct way for most intermediate+- level guitarists.

This guy could easily be Andy's son

Wow, amazing. I've been looking for some help like this for many many years. I can't tell you how much this clip has meant to me. Profound and heartfelt thanks.

This is a great guitar lesson. I've been sharing it with a lot of my guitar students. Thanks Daniel and Reverb.

Lol randomly throws “I didn’t go to prom in high school”

Wow, so practical and simple. I have already mapped out the major and minor pentatonic shapes that are next to each other and will practice combining them a little each day. Thanks so much! I’ve also noticed that you can get a similar effect by playing in the Dorian mode and occasionally bending up to the major 3rd. Dorian + major 3rd has the notes of the major and minor pentatonic added together.

Awesome lesson. Thank you.

I've been struggling to get the major pentatonics engrained in my playing, this was really helpful

Man I love this sound. Addictive

Great tips thanks Daniel.

Thanks for the scale mixing tip, it works with so much common country and blues progressions, that opened a completely new way for me! :)

very cool and helpful

This was actually an incredibly insightful lesson.

beautiful explained

Love his clean tone on this video. His playing is very precise and he doesn't have to cover up sloppy playing by hitting the distortion button. I predict a bright future for this young man in the years to come. Watch out Albert....he's gaining on you. :~)

Fantastic lesson Daniel. Thanks!

Outstanding! Great playing, great explanation.

Wow... that was a brilliant lesson. Thanks

So far I’ve done the first and second position overlaying minor and major working my way up to fretboard. I had to go look at a piece of property with a friend of mine. But I’m back on the guitar now. I’ll have this thing figured out before the new year! Thanks

Dude! You crushed it. Nice work.

Damn this is what Tom Holland got up to while Sony and Disney were feuding

That was dope bro 😎

Nice Lesson

Incredible

This is a great insight! I’m trying to combine it with the two-string pentatonic shapes approach I got from a Dweezil Zappa workshop, and it makes the differences really visible.

wow you’re an amazing teacher thank you!

Excellent. Thank you for sharing.👍

Very eloquently explained and deftly presented 😎🎸✅

Your, no space in between, was the country. Your very intelligent and capable.

The insight about memorization versus understanding is spot on. That first blues lick you play is pure BB King who always has a lot more "country" in him than people might think. Great lesson - thank you.

Dude I watched this video when it came it when I was in college and I had no clue what the hell was going on with the major minor positions up and down the neck but I really get it now. Late to the party but damn, also being able to slow down videos now is really helping a lot. Damn be sure to keep a fire extinguisher near by in case the rosewood goes up in flames.

Outstanding playing

Alright that was extremely helpful and I’m not anywhere near my guitar! Awesome explanation

Awesome man thank you !

Great lesson

The minor major demonstration is really helpful

Saw him perform at NAMM with Albert Lee

Smart dude, thanks for the lesson!

Outstanding!

This guy is amazing

Gifted instructor

Excellent instructional video! I’m seeing the overlay between minor and major.

D.D., thanks man. That was awesome

I don't know who you are but let me tell you this was one of the best explanation videos that I have ever seen wanna be my friend? 😂

Man this guys so good

What a great example mixing major and minor as an oreo. I’m staying with first position of each so I don’t confuse myself too terribly. Good video thanks

Brilliant

Could be the son of Sigourney Weaver

Daniel you really rock on guitar. Glad to hear of your love for Dicky Betts ,!

Muito bom , show

Quote of the day "Oreos up together which isn't a verb, but it is right now"!

Terrific, and it seems the same lesson would apply to voice.

top ! j'aime beaucoup cette chemise rayée

damm man you seem to be a great teacher, you make it easily understandable

This guy guitars! No seriously, I've seen him in person--dude is a beast.

his dead pan is mazing. great lesson too

Hi ! great lesson, can you please send the positions of the magor and minor with alink?

Keep videos of Daniel coming.

Very interesting !

This vid is a gem

'Oreos together'. Great!

Good job young man

This guy is no joke. I’ve watched him play with the Don Kelley Band at Roberts many many times. Even at a young age he was one of the top two or three best pickers on broadway for my money. Although picker is a gross understatement.

Damn good.

Yet lots of older blues mixes major and minor. I think B.B. King used both as well. I think what makes it country is more elusive and complicated.

Have you seen anything about blues and the neutral third? hear between the lines has a pretty good video on the concept.

Wow pretty mind awakening. I have a headache though. 😎🤠

I wonder what's the colour of that tele..... Seafoam green or Surf green...

Beautiful 😊l 👍👍👍☯️🎸

You are just great, incredible Daniel

Nice playing! What about Hendrix Red House, where he goes back and force between major and minor (and plays together sometimes)?

Are they remaking “Crossroads”?

A few queries: I’m a bassist and a pianist and have been playing since I was 9 and 4 respectively (I’m 26), but I recently got into guitar. I bought myself a Gibson L-50 when I decided to get into the instrument at the end of last year and three days ago, as a birthday gift, my parents gave me a D-28, made 1981. I’ve been trying to cultivate a country sound, but it does sound extremely bluesy and when I lean more heavily into major with faster picking patterns it sounds like bluegrass, not country. Your advice is very electric specific, what advice would you give on this issue regarding acoustic guitars, both flat and arch topped? Also, this is all very lead-solo oriented. Do you have any advice for getting a country rhythm sound, using more complex harmony, it seems that once I start doing anything more “advanced” than basic triadic harmony (maybe a sus4 on the I) in root position or using chord progressions that are more interesting than basic variations on the I-V-vi-IV (like replacing the vi with bVII) or a I-vi-IV-V it loses it’s country character, even basic substitutions like bII7 for V or the use of dominant 7th chords in general completely de-countrifies the music. I want to make interesting music so I’m wondering whether anyone here has any advice about retaining harmonic complexity within the country music idiom?

So combine major and minor pentatonic in the same position ?

Help me out. You are playing G min pentatonic the coming down on G major pentatonic?

🔥🔥🔥

Anyone know how many gigs this guy had played? Urgent

DAAAYYYYYMM!

Which country?

It's so simple! Now all I have to do is practice 12 hours a day for a year. (I'm waaaaay past prom)

Thanks for the tutorial but I think you might want to rethink your view of the blues. B B King, Eric Clapton, Matt Schofield just to name a few mixing major and minor pentatonic.

Sounds easy in theory. Difficult in practice. But practice makes perfect

I’m going to be spending a few days learning this. Well actually a few months. How about the style of Robin Ford. What does he do with the pentatonic to make it sound a little like jazz?

Listen to the Intro of red house by Jimi Hendrix,, That is the Perfect example of Combining the Minor and Major Pentatonic scales in Blues,,

4:26 - killin me smalls

Oreos.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO HELL YES

Should've just moved your min pentaonic shape down two frets and gone to prom.

The voice of Stev-o?

Yeah, what he said

12 hours a day jesus! Fair play

I pray that someone like this young person keeps rock and roll afloat and maybe bring it back to how rock used to Rock!
