Modern Pentatonic Shapes: BREAK OUT OF THE BOX

Рет қаралды 274,569

Күн бұрын

Modernise the Pentatonic scale & break out of the box with these fresh arpeggio ideas!
In this video, we explore combining adjacent Pentatonic boxes to create wider intervalic sounds. This gives a new visualisation for each of the Pentatonic positions as well as more interesting #pentatonic vocabulary when using these scale shapes on the guitar.
This concept creates modern Pentatonic #arpeggio shapes which we experiment with using different pattern variations and hybrid picking techniques. The ideas in this video should definitely add to your #guitar licks & vocabulary as well as give you a new approach to using the Pentatonic scale within your improvisational language.

This is a nice sentiment for sure, but I would argue that gifts have far less to do with musical ability than practice and an intentional mindset.

The paradox about the pentatonic is that it is easy to play and to make it sound good when you're beginning, but it is tricky to make it not sound cliché when using it in more complex harmonic contexts or when you expand your musical concepts. Therefore, it's both a basic and an advanced scale. brilliant video, thanks!

@johnp.johnson1541 5 ай бұрын

The pentatonic minor never is an advanced scale. It is a minor 7 chord with an add 4. Or you can think of it as a minor 11 with a dropped 2.

@luizcadu 5 ай бұрын

@@johnp.johnson1541 watch the video again. Do you really think a beginner would be able to use the pentatonic that way?

@johnp.johnson1541 5 ай бұрын

@@luizcadu You commit the fallacy of a straw man. No one said the guitarist is a beginner. A nine-tone scale would be advanced. Is an E9 chord played arpeggio over the neck an advanced chord? Good luck!

@luizcadu 5 ай бұрын

@@johnp.johnson1541 Read again. I'm not asking if this guitarist is a beginner (he's obviously brilliant), I'm asking if you think a beginner would be able to use this scale like he does, in this harmonic context and with this choice of intervallic patterns. You're the one who said the pentatonic "never" is advanced, hence the question.

@johnp.johnson1541 5 ай бұрын

@@luizcadu No, you read again your own faulty premise. Oh and beginners will watch this video and use the scale exactly as he has presented it. It is a 5-tone scale. It is not advanced. It is what it is. Total permutations of a 5-tone scale with tonic repeated = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120. Total permutations of a 9 tone scale with tonic repeated = 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 362,880 Total permutations of chromatic scale with tonic repeated = 11 * 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 39,916,800 Please, learn.

I was telling a guitar friend that you were playing in two different scale boxes at the same time, which confused him, but yep two boxes it is. Definitively a different twist, at least for me... Now, to integrate these twists and turns into my future guitar playing.

Best jazz guitar channel. I've been experimenting with arpeggios and hybrid picking from your following videos, Maj79, MinMaj7, 7#119, -7b59, sus49, diminished, augmented, 713b9... Every color of every mode of every scale, the shape works and it's a perfect tool to visualize your fretboard... Great eye opening material man, can't thank you enough 🙏 👏

@edwardjons8684 2 жыл бұрын

Very cool idea - the applications for this are endless. I can see this as a great tool for breaking the usual cliched scalar sound of pentatonics without then falling into the other trap of just playing triad based arpeggios. It immediately sounds like Coltrane on A Love Supreme to me - and played really fast it’s instant Richie Kotzen shred territory. Win win!

@user-pm2xj9st6f 3 ай бұрын

I really like this method and use it alot. Its a clean way of using all the sus4 and sus 2 soynds of the major/minor pentatonic scale. The whole problem on guitar with being stuck "in a box" is everyone is 1st taught one position and practice that way when really (like every instrument) everything should be practiced using 3 and 4 octave range. On guitar it is alot more complicated and it takes alot of shifting and jumping like those 3nps pentatonics. I try to practice everything using the full range of guitar and it should be taught more to do so. Pentatonic 313's 231313's, 313313's 2nps, 3nps, 4nps The major/minor scale 2 nps, 3nps, 4nps, 343434 Arppegios 212's 213's for example. Wind instruments and piano is just straight up and down. Stringed instruments are completely different. Excellent content!
