   hey i love your lessons, really helpful. it’d be sweet if you could make some of these little progressions that you do in your lessons into longer videos, like a jamtrack type of thing.

   I think you better mix the dorian with the minor pentatonic because those two scales are minor… since mixolydian and major pentatonic are major scales, they will go together better

   this may be my warped logic, but does it work with the other CAGED chords? ie G mixo works on E pentatonic for same reasons? H

   Reason it works is C mixolydian is C D E F G A Bb
   he is just playing A minor pentatonic A C D E G and adding the F Bb to make up scale

    Hey Marty. I think this has been one of the most helpful videos that I’ve ever watched, so thanks for that. I was wondering what some of your influences in this style of funky-bluesy guitar playing are.

    I just sit in amazement each time I watch your videos.

    From 3:13 to 4:38 is just pure amazing to watch you easily glide over notes… wow….

    Thanks for posting these, I’ve always played a lot of chords but am now getting into scales. Hopefully one day I’ll be half as good as you at scales…

    thanks this would also apply to the other scales right? like if its in the key of A you use the A Major pentitonic, or Am use the Am pentitonic scale

    good question, C F and G are all from the key of C so yes the same scale works over all of those chords. a “key” has 7 chords
    the key of C’s 7 chords are
    C Dmin Emin F G7 Amin and a weird chord Bmin7b5
    so C F and G are the ! 4 and 5 chord in the key of C
    yo keep it real!

    i have one question : lets say ur playing the chords C, F ,G then back to C since that chord progrestion is in the key of C would the lead guitarist just play riffs in the key of C or would they have to switch from C to F to G and then back to C???

    I rarely transcribe solos all the way through. sometimes I’ll hear a lick and then learn it. I would say to learn licks from as many different and varied places, know your scales well with practicing and patterns etc. and lots and lots of jamming and improvising and then lots of hours of all that stuff. nothing beats time put into the instrument.

    Excellent video again! But I have a question. It is not related to this specific video, but it is about all your lessons. The question is: how do you learned how to make these beautiful phrases? I mean, now I know how to use the major pentatonic scale, the mixolydian and so on. But I am not able to play beautiful and colorful solos like yours . How do you learned that? Transcribing solos? Natural feeling? Both?

    really really good videos !
    You make me learn a lot of stuff in order to not be “blocked” into penta stuff….

    Thank you! I’m learning more practical application uses here from your videos than I ever did in 20 years worth of attempted theory studies! No F’n joke my man! Keep up the good work!
