Brief Introduction
Play Along-SeriesDescription
Master all 5 forms of the Am pentatonic scales using our play-along scale drills. Its like having a private teacher to play with you every time you practice. Start out at 60 BPM's using quarter notes and by the end of the course you will be able to play up to 200 BPM"s with 8th notes.
This video is Beginner to Intermediate!
If you are intermediate and know how to play all 5 forms and know how to use the metronome then jump right in with whatever tempo works for you.
Scales are a very important part of learning the guitar. The Minor pentatonic scale is one of the most common scales in music and can be heard in many different styles including: Rock, motown, blues, funk, folk, country, bluegrass, jazz, jam and definitely pop. You will be learning the Am pentatonic scale in this series. IF YOU HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH PLAYING SCALES THIS IS THE FIRST ONE TO LEARN! Included for download are the PDF's of all 5 forms across the guitar neck. I go thru each form with you in the Am Pentatonic scale intro video but please take advantage of the PDF's and download the scale forms. This will get you thru all 5 forms of the scale in 1 key.
Directions are as follows:
1. Download the PDF of the scale forms and then watch the Am Pentatonic Scale Intro Video.
2. Learn and memorize the 5 different scale forms for Am pentatonic.
3. Practice the scale forms for 10 to 15 mins a day ( or as much time as you can spare) for 2 weeks working on playing slowly and evenly until you can play the scale somewhat smoothly.
4. If you are a beginner I recommend you watch my First Lesson Beginner Section Part I video program which in the first 5 chapters in that program I talk about the finger exercise and how to use the metronome.
4. Once you are ready, the 2nd video starts you with a metronome at 60 beats per minute with quarter notes. I count us in 1 measue " 1 2 3 4 " and you will play Form I with me and I will count us in for each form and play each one 2 times in a row.
5. Practice with 60 BPM"S at least 2 weeks or until you feel you have it consistent and strong enough to move to the 3rd video which is 70 BPMS. Play with 70 BPMS until you can play solid and go to 80, 90, 100 all the way to 140, then we will cut back to 60 and learn how to play 8th notes, from there you continue to work on each video as the tempos go in increments of 10 and go all the way to 200.
Artists that use the minor pentatonic scale include: Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Slash, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyd, Allman Brothers, James Brown, Black Keys, Childish Gambino, Janes Addiction, Pearl Jam, Parliment, Talking Heads, Black Sabbath and just about everybody else.
