This is a great starting point to get comfortable improvising around the fretboard. Let me know if the lesson is helpful! Thanks, everyone.👌

I must say that every tutorial is a step forward for any beginner learning blues guitar, thanks !!

I‘m a senior beginner and have no knowledge about scales, but I think I do this while I‘m noodling the blues playing by ear. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Damn it old man you know how to give Muscial Goosebumps 👏👏👏👏👏 .. God Bless Those Hands

New player at 60yrs young . I enjoy your helpful tip lessons .

Sometimes I need the simplest thing to be pointed out to me, but when it is, it's a big 'ol lightbulb moment! Thanks, Rusty's Guitar™!💡🤘

I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was donning a angel wing dean shirt while playing my dean v guitar. When I switched to my strat, I became a bluesman! 🤣🤣🤣 It is funny how these simple approaches lead to interesting melodies. These videos really demystified music and I have been improving my musicianship. Thank you for these videos! Great content as always, Rusty!

This is one of my favorite tricks. Also if you're playing Em key you play at 12th. If it's Emaj you go down 1 1/2 steps and you're in E maj

Cool stuff…very helpful, thanks a lot my friend!

Your lessons just get better and better Rusty! I love this stuff. Well explained.

Great ideas, Rusty. Have a peaceful weekend and great to see your channel growing.👍🤠

Another great tutorial Rusty.......thank you.......is there any chance you could do a tutorial on mixing minor pentatonic with the natural minor scale? Don't worry if it's not possible.........just a thought I had..........Paul from Ireland

Awesome! Thanks again, you are the man, Rusty!😊

Another great lesson, Rusty. Why haven't I seen this simple relationship before? I'm proficient at playing the full diatonic scale in any key over the fretboard but I think sometimes that detracts me from recognizing the more simple and more fluid concepts like this. Your lessons are golden!

Rusty, you are golden! Another great lesson, thank you.

When I grow up.....I wanna play just like Rusty!! Seriously...........great following Rusty as I can almost feel the improvement needle slowly moving more and more into the positive as I continue to follow Rusty's patient yet dynamo lessons!! Jim C.

Wonderful tutorial Rusty!! You did a great job my friend! Thank you so much for sharing! Hugs, Jimmy

Fantastic lesson on mixing the major and minor pentatonic scales.

Superb ❤

Great. Hours of practice ahead. Thank you for these tricks !

Superbe leçon Rusty, c'est toujours un plaisir de suivre tes tutos, excellent pour l'improvisation 👍 Thanks a lot. Richard from France

Sounds crazy but nice know all the different pentatonic positions but your ideas regarding exercising them are brilliant, thank you very much Rusty

The question and answer method is a very cool to implement.. major and minor .. I think BB King did such in his playing 😊

That basic backing track sure is handy for practicing all kinds of improvisations Rusty ~ Today's lesson (and all your lessons) are very helpful!

Thanks Rusty, you are amazing!

Great lesson Rusty! I'm actually working on a Blues course here the past week from Marty Music ( You and him are fantastic honestly ), anyhow I'm still working on memorizing each and every dang E note on the board ( amongst the others of course as well ), and I keep forgetting I have one at that 5th fret B string. I'm also working on the A rooted E pentatonic over at the 7th fret which is another fantastic spot for so many E licks as well here. Anyhow, thanks so much again man.... your lessons certainly don't go unappreciated :)

Thank you for bringing this scale to be understandable and easy. May God be blessing you and your family Rusty. Cheers from Indonesia.

Great lesson - light bulb moments for me 💡🎶👍

holy crap why did it take so long for me to find this video ... been needing a new approach to the pentatonic in like forever. Thanks Rusty for breaking me out of my rut 🤘... a perfect lesson.

Great lesson Rusty, thank you!

Very good lesson. I used this concept in my own playing earlier and I loved it. Thank you!

Thanks, Rusty! ❤🎸🎶This lesson is very helpful.👍 Very good explanation and great advice. Hope your week started well!🫶😊

Beautifully explained! Loving the E blues too! Focusing on the root notes also helped me to visualize more positions of the pentatonic scale :D Thank you for your videos!

Great share lesson guitar very interesting have a good weekend

Awesome lesson Rusty! Thanks a lot

You so rock... thank you for sharing your knowledge... soundin freakin awesome.. you so snatched me from what I was doing and drew me in... your skill is above top shelf dear one 🙏🌹

A great idea mixing minor and major! Nice lesson, Rusty! Have a great weekend ❤

Fantastic man.marty 5150 and rusty have givin me a busy weekend on the guitar.. thanks a bunch man and have a good weekend..

Another great one! Always get so much from your instruction…thank you!

Hi Rusty, Great video lesson and content my friend! 👍🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

I just recently stumbled on your lessons and they are fantastic, simple but effective for sounding like a better player. Trying to learn penta positions and linking scales i always forget where the root is, this trick is gold. Thanks Rusty!

Great lesson!! From spain I thank you!!

Very good Rusty. Always brilliant 👍👍🎸🎸

Rusty, this is so amazingly simple and reachable for most guitarists who are just learning to solo through chord changes. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Rusty, I really like your lessons. You don’t get bogged down with the typical “put your finger on the second string third fret,” and so on. You stick to one concept, then quickly show how to use it. Great stuff!

Wonderful cocktail of major and minor pentatonics, it's really one of the coolest ways to play them and is much more interesting to listen to melodically, as always Rusty top class playing and teaching and as I've said before I wish I had had access to your lessons when I was starting out 🎸👏👏🙏🏻

Just had so much fun with this buddy 🎸 been trying it using other keys too. Brilliant tutorial Rusty. Maybe you could dive a little deeper into this 👍🏻 thanks mate & enjoy your weekend 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🎸

Love Pentatonic scales :)

I've learned more in 10 minutes from your videos than what I've learned in the past year!! Thanks

Love your channel, its really helping me a lot with gaining understanding and technique.

Good Improvisation. Very Good. Thanks/Gracias.

Rusty this is a good lesson. I'm am working on being about to play solos and not sound like I'm noodling around in a scale. Maybe this will help. They always say "learn your scales but sometimes the scales ruin creative ability.

This is brilliant Rusty, thank you. I think that when my guests leave the house tonight, the rest of my weekend is going to be jamming using this technique. In the past 3 months my playing has advanced more than in the whole year previous....and I'm so enjoying this instrument now. These lessons are wonderful Rusty.....thank you so much.

Great lesson thank you again rusty. 🤘

Love it. Thanks for sharing your life to us. Be blessed.

wow just Golden lesson!!!

more than helpful!!!!

Rusty you do a excellent job of explaining things simply. Thank you

Great lesson! wonderful playing my friend! Great job!! thanks for wonderful sharing!

Thank you for the concept! It's simple and sounds good. In my opinion, you should remember the following: It is actually an E minor pentatonic scale (B3-5 E3-5). The major scale (B5 - B7 E5-E7) is in major - but NOT in E major but in D major (or B minor). That would be a blues box on the 7th fret. Or am I making a mistake here?

Good lesson thank you.

So wonderful teaching and sound 👍👍👍

wollte schon aufgeben ,mit dir macht es wieder SPASS. danke werner

Man, I wish I could give 3 likes for this video. THANK YOU!

Great approach Rusty - I’ll watch another brother

Great and mind opening! I suppose it can be used in any key like a A7 blues. Thanks you for sharing.

This is incredible...

Sempre bom ouvir vc Rustys, valeu

Terrific job demystifying the musicality to the fretboard. I am often left feeling overwhelmed by the overabundance of details in other channels. You keep it very easy and digestible! 😮❤

Very informative Rusty . I see it could also be called the BB box A string 9th fret E note . You seem to go that little extra over many other instructors .

Thank you.

Good nuggets!!

Most of your vids cater to intermediate players, and as easy as they seem are just to complicated to get under my fingers, so a lesson aimed at beginner lead players was good, I didn't feel left out with this one, but, you say just 2 frets up from the root minor scale is the major, when everyone else says 3 frets up, just a little more time showing that might have helped people like me to fill the gaps, anyway, thanks Rusty, did your vids man.

Big thx awesome 👍... 🎸

Fantastic Rusty , Thanks Brotherman :)

Thanks!

This is fantastic Rusty. Very helpful. Thank you. Can’t wait to practice these concepts after work today. It’s just what I needed to develop phrasing and mixing major and minor.

I like this one

Great stuff

Best 🤠🎸

Great and inspiring! Could you demonstrate how to apply this ‘shape’ along with a chord progression in any key in another video ?

super👍👍👍

You are an amazing teacher! I just play acoustic rhythm to accompany myself singing, but you've got me thinking of dusting off my old Les Paul! Which of your videos would you recommend starting with?

Yes this does help.

New player. Great lesson. I understand from which pentatonic form the minor is coming (I believe it is from the e shape of the CAGED system) however not sure about the major. BBking box perhaps?

감사합니다 감사함으로 받으면결코 버릴것이 없나니 아멘 .AMAN .. RUSTY 아저씨 .건강하세요.사랑합니다 환절기감기조심하세요 GOD BLESSTOU RUSTY아저씨 .. WITH ALL JUSUS NAME 아멘 . AMAN .. RUSTY GUITAR 아저씨 ..앞 .. 친전 .. THANK YOUSO MARCH .. 감사합니다 ..

Thank you Rusty from across the Big Lake! I am about 28 months into guitar...all online learning. I have watched and practiced with some of your videos. All well done! I like your style! Is there any certain order you recommend from Beginner/Intermediate to Intermediate? I play acoustic and electric Strat. Cheers!

Hey bro! I am rewatching this awesome lesson and I came with a doubt, I think you are using 1, 2, 4, 5 intervals for Major Penta box, but shouldn't be 1, 2, 3, 5?? (plus 6 of course). Thanks so much my friend, I am learning a lot from your lessons!

A note is note in the Emajor pentatonic scale

Something I’ve always struggled with is knowing WHEN it’s best to switch between minor and major. You got any videos on that specifically?

Hi Rusty, very good lesson 😊just to clarify a little bit, when you say major pentatonic, means A major pentatonic, right? I was confused at beginning, until I breakdown the note😅

Very nice Rusty. I just wonder: The Major Box you use is A Major Pentatonic, not E Major Pentatonic, right?

Rusty, do you have a video on superimposing two pentatonic boxes on the same four or five frets?

Great lesson Rusty. Isn’t it E major scale instead of E major pentatonic scale?

Hi rusty, This 4 note major/minor box system you're using, could I use the same system if only minor chords are played, Thank you for your hard work, Howard.

Hey Rusty..These are all major chords. How do I use major and minor pentatonics in a chord progression with minor chords, for example C Am F G?

0:31 does the major box should be 5-7 4-7?

nice job , what model is that fender, looks like an ash body.

The 2nd box goes with the chord change so is it a major pentatonic?

Whats the name of this backing track?
