1
00:00:00,966 --> 00:00:02,600
so first things first we've got to learn
2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,000
the fundamentals of all western music
3
00:00:05,366 --> 00:00:06,533
the minor pentatonic skill
4
00:00:06,533 --> 00:00:08,166
is the most valuable skill that you can learn
5
00:00:08,166 --> 00:00:10,533
as a guitar player no matter what style of music that
6
00:00:10,533 --> 00:00:11,566
you're going to be playing
7
00:00:11,700 --> 00:00:13,700
once you've got a good understanding of the skill
8
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,666
and you are comfortable in all five positions
9
00:00:15,666 --> 00:00:17,333
it will provide a solid foundation for you
10
00:00:17,333 --> 00:00:18,166
to build from
11
00:00:18,266 --> 00:00:20,800
Stevie abused the pentatonic like no one else
12
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,766
mainly sticking to the first position
13
00:00:22,766 --> 00:00:25,633
while being as creative as he could with limited notes
14
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:28,500
the scale is every guitar player's bread and butter
15
00:00:28,566 --> 00:00:30,733
and it is crucial that you memorize each position
16
00:00:30,733 --> 00:00:33,066
inside and out go through each position
17
00:00:33,133 --> 00:00:34,900
and transports the different keys
18
00:00:35,166 --> 00:00:36,900
this will ensure that you are comfortable
19
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:38,700
improvising all the different songs
20
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:41,333
the goal is to be able to play these without thinking
21
00:00:41,333 --> 00:00:43,633
in order to express yourself freely
22
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:44,766
the less you think
23
00:00:44,766 --> 00:00:46,466
the more fun you'll have on the guitar
24
00:00:50,533 --> 00:00:52,266
so we're going to start the minor Pentatonix
25
00:00:52,266 --> 00:00:53,866
off in the key V minor
26
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,566
so we're gonna begin on this fifth fret on the E string
27
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:01,100
so
28
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:03,500
we'll slowly make our way through this first position
29
00:01:13,733 --> 00:01:14,333
super super
30
00:01:14,333 --> 00:01:16,666
important to go really slow when you just starting out
31
00:01:24,766 --> 00:01:26,366
so once we got that first position down
32
00:01:26,366 --> 00:01:28,200
we're gonna move on to this second position
33
00:01:28,700 --> 00:01:31,600
the way that these positions connect to each other is
34
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,166
the first note of the next position is the second
35
00:01:35,166 --> 00:01:37,100
note of the previous position
36
00:01:37,733 --> 00:01:39,566
so in this first position
37
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:42,566
the second note is the eighth fret
38
00:01:42,566 --> 00:01:44,966
that's gonna be the first note in this second position
39
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,100
so we're gonna start from No. 8
40
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:48,466
let's see if we can get through that
41
00:01:57,866 --> 00:01:58,800
one more time
42
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:11,400
now let's try 3rd position starting from the 10th fret
43
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,666
turn a bit faster
44
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:39,300
then we got fourth position
45
00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:41,366
starting from the 12th fret on the E string
46
00:02:53,333 --> 00:02:54,766
once more a bit faster
47
00:03:01,366 --> 00:03:01,966
and then finally
48
00:03:01,966 --> 00:03:05,233
we got fifth position starting from the 15th fret
49
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:14,566
one more time
50
00:03:21,533 --> 00:03:24,066
and then once you finished all five positions
51
00:03:24,066 --> 00:03:25,266
it repeats again at the October
52
00:03:25,266 --> 00:03:26,500
so back to the first position
53
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:29,633
we're gonna start from the 17th fret on the E string
54
00:03:37,566 --> 00:03:40,000
and that's all five positions of the minor pansonic
55
00:03:40,466 --> 00:03:42,500
so once we're comfortable in one key
56
00:03:42,733 --> 00:03:44,300
we're gonna try and do the same thing
57
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:45,533
but just start from a different note
58
00:03:45,533 --> 00:03:47,366
in the first position so this time
59
00:03:47,366 --> 00:03:50,066
we're gonna start from the second fret on the E string
60
00:03:50,066 --> 00:03:51,700
so now we're gonna be in F sharp
61
00:03:51,866 --> 00:03:53,466
all the positions relate to each other
62
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,600
the exact same way
63
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,333
let's see if we can get through all five positions
64
00:03:56,333 --> 00:03:57,133
in F sharp
65
00:04:13,366 --> 00:04:15,466
first position done let's move on to 2nd position
66
00:04:15,466 --> 00:04:17,000
starting from the 5th fret
67
00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:31,800
third position starting from the seventh fret
68
00:04:44,066 --> 00:04:46,000
and we're gonna move on to the fourth position
69
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,266
starting from the ninth fret on the E string
70
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:02,300
never got fifth position this time
71
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:03,700
starting from the 12th fret
72
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,700
one more time on that one
73
00:05:15,266 --> 00:05:16,566
and then finally back with the upward
74
00:05:16,566 --> 00:05:17,666
starting from the falling fret
75
00:05:17,666 --> 00:05:19,566
we got the first position one more time
76
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,900
it is imperative that you learn
77
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:34,333
all five positions of the minor
78
00:05:34,333 --> 00:05:36,166
pantatonic scale inside and out
79
00:05:36,166 --> 00:05:38,300
and make sure practice them in different keys
80
00:05:38,300 --> 00:05:40,866
only then will you be able to improvise freely
81
00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:42,366
over the entire fretboard
82
00:05:42,366 --> 00:05:44,066
Stevie was a pentatonic master
83
00:05:44,066 --> 00:05:46,600
he knew exactly where he was on the guitar all times
84
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,700
and he knew exactly where he was going to end up
85
00:05:49,066 --> 00:05:51,700
really take some time internalizing these positions
86
00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:53,733
once you've got them you've got them for life
87
00:05:53,733 --> 00:05:56,200
so it's really worth putting some time in on this
