how can you tell what key your in?

can u use them notes in the A minor scale the ninth note if u move it up so it ill b f#

cool i dont fully understand the theory behind it. it seems alien to me venturing out of the minor pentatonic shape but it sounds great thank you

thats a pretty sick headstock.

very warm sound is that a tube amp?

@ChrisGIBSONSG u dont need to learn any scales really – Hendrix didn’t know any at all. and hes the king, no pointless music theory mean no boundaries.

does anyone know exactly what hes playing at around 9:30? (it looks like hammer on/pull off on the 7, 9, 10 frets?)

hi david can i buy the exact tabs of these blues you are playing i really wish to play it like you i mean this one above these comments thanks

duuude haha that’s amazing. pentatonic scales.

@ChrisGIBSONSG If you know vertical scales you know all of the latteral ones as well?

OOO David my man those are some tasty licks u got goin on there thank you!!

yeah, add the 6th and you have the A Minor Natural scale )

i need help learnin different latteral scales ive got all my vertical down pretty good

Ha maybe i dont know i’m still crap but these lessons have helped me. lets see your lesson. lol

Very Cool…thankyou.

HI YOU REALLY TEACH ME I WISH I LIVE IN YOUR COUNTRY AND COME TO LEARN UNDER YOUR SKILLS…AND MEET YOU TO THANKS DAVID keep on rockin

add the 6th of the scale to that will make it sound even better

really cool lesson and a cool tone! Thank you.

I could listen to that jamming all day long! Great stuff!!

It all sounds very gilmourish I’ll definately try this

1990′s USA fender stratocaster custom shop guitar

no, ive actually never had a lesson in my life, but i once figured out on my own that you could use those notes in certain keys and now it will look like i learned it from this video

@Esmitherz64

were you a personal student of his?

You’re stupid.
The text at the very beginning says what kind of guitar that is-.-’

what strat is that? looks awesome!!

thank you im truly getting it now finnally

Great lesson. I want to ask you a question. I can’t exploit the pentatonic boxes as they should, I can only improvise always the same melodic lines and this make my improvisation boring. How can I exploit it better?

@futebalmakedonia you have 5 different shapes in the G major scale. All of them use the note G as root note but on another string. This means that your shapes will be on a different place on the fretboard but you’ll still play in the key of G as long as you play those shapes and use G as root note!

@JustinSandercoe Have u done a vid teaching us how to know what notes work outside a scales so we can play up and down the neck rather than being stuck with the 1 notes in the pentatonic scale ???

A PRO!!!

i think if you go to his website there is quite the good overview of all his lessons. Kudos to Justin

That’s right! In theory you can keep the same scale pattern, and move it up or down the fretboard depending on what key you want to solo in. All you need to do is move the root note of the scale (the first note you’d generally play), to the fret which has the same note as the key you’re in.

Hope this helps!

What where the back track choards?

some of you dont understand that there is no next to this.Its all about what you can do.Think of scales as a pattern in which the notes that sound good together just add notes or take notes away repeat the notes play it faster or slower with the beat/backing track.Scales in music are like a panters brush its just a kinda tool to express your mind/yourself. A painter can learn all the tecniques in the world but t the end of the day its what is in his mind that he expresses through tecniques.

lol

theres something i dont get

umm, well

i dont get this,
if i wanted to play over the key of G,i know what chords are in it , but do i have to play on the g major scale or can i play on a note that is G, and i dont get understand, can you move the scale higher up the fretboard and still sound good?????????????????????????????????????

Thank you so much foe these lessons justin!! Nice!! but does anybody tell me what’s the tittle of the next lesson?? i simply got lost after this lesson because i couldn’t find lesson BC-016….thanks for answering and greetings from italy!!

its all about feelings and practising. if you can feel the rythm, you will rock, but enouth to have some feeling.. anyway i play on the guitar more than 2and half years, but i can’t do this improvising thing, because i don’t practise. good luck, nice lesson

ok, this sounds daft, but when you improvise do you play the scale as normal?

There’s 3 basic patterns. Major, Minor and Pentatonic (which is shown in the video). You can play the shape from any fret and it will be in that key. Move the ‘A’ one up a fret and you’re in Bb

lol this is a lesson on improvisation.why are u asking for tabs

what’s the next of this?

the shape of the scale is always the same for each position. If you want to play a G minor pentatonic scale then just move yourself two frets down. I hope i’m clear about this…

he is playing in the A scale

I cant find the tabs for the solo scales except A :S
I would be gratefull if som1 links it to me

hey justin, im not sure if i’ve ever commented on you video’s however i’ve been lookin at many guitar lesson video’s on youtube and i always return to your channel. in short i think you are the best guitarist and teacher on the web.keep up the GREAT work, and ill be watching.

Great explanation Justin! Thanks for the lesson I’ve learned so much.

I know, he’s my favourite guitarist of all time. If you think his rock stuff was good then check out his blues. absolutely outstanding…

I didn’t know that about Hendrix… amazing.

On the other hand it’s just as valid to learn the theory behind it, and it can give a greater understanding of why what you play sounds like how you play, and I find this is a great help when writing songs or jamming. Don’t let people snub you for learning scales, but also don’t feel you have to stick to a scale while playing; it’s best to keep a good balance between both methods.
