Jul 16, 2008 - Hmm so the only add on the bluesy scale is5-6-7 on the A string? If you compare it with your scale?

Aug 24, 2008 - i thought you could use the 5 positions of Am for all three chords ? sorry if this is a stupid question im new to the pentatonic scales
tortoiseutube Says:
Aug 24, 2008 - Yes you can. Am pentatonic works for all those chords. But here, the scales follow the chords.

Aug 31, 2008 - Hello,I just thought I'd let you know that this video is excelante! Thank you b/c you cleared a lot for me and opened a new world on how to play lead parts over chordes. I just bought a digitech loop and I'm practicing what you taught us.Please continue making videos like this! You took your time to explain stuff and for someone like me who is learning this is appreciated.

Sep 6, 2008 - do you know where i can learn the other positions of the D and E minor pentatonic scales?
maxjourney15 Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - this is a great lesson but any one wanting to play lead guitar should also expand their knowledge of scales to the major scale, the harmonic minor scale, and the minor scale.

pfelice157 Says:
Nov 26, 2008 - Yeah, but you should really be familiar with all five positions JUST in Am first and how they connect to each other before you try following the chord progression with relative scales. Reason-being, once you know Am, you know them all and you can transpose by simply shifting everything.

Dec 11, 2008 - actually yes it can be. it can also be country, classic rock, supershred, pop, or used to teach and play songs for children. it is used everywhere
yndarjabelo Says:
Dec 11, 2008 - yeh, it was first used in Asian music tho so i don't know why i got so many thumbs down. Asians have contributed so much to music but don't get any credit. Asians also invented the Tom-toms so u could say that there's asian influence in every song u hear on the radio...still, no credit tho... =[
