_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ Hey, what's up you guys?
[A] Marty Schwartz here at GuitarJams.com.
I had [G#m] a lot of success with you guys with the [D#] five shapes of the [Dm] minor pentatonic scale.
So I'm going to give you the five shapes of the major pentatonic scale right now.
And then also I always [F] have a bunch of cool stuff.
I've got some cool blues style lessons that are not on YouTube.
You can click the link below to check those out as [N] well.
I really appreciate it.
But let me show you those shapes.
Here are the shapes of the A major pentatonic.
We're going to really still pay attention to where all the roots are.
Let's put our pinky on the fifth fret of the E string.
[Am] _ That's our root.
Then we have this position. _
_ [C#] Two, five, two, four, two, four, two, four, two, five, two, five.
That same position, [B] but the root's there.
_ [A] And then the root's also on the second fret of the G. _ _
[G#] And it's on the fifth fret of [A] the high E. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ Two, [A] five, two, four, two, [G#] four, two, four, two, [F#m] five, two, five.
[B] All right, the next position would be five, seven, _ _ [C#m] _ four, [E] seven, _ [A] four, seven, _ _ _ [C#m] four, six,
[F#] _ five, [B] seven, five, seven.
And the roots, _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
okay, the next [A] position has a root.
_ Right there on the seventh of the D and ten of the B. _ _
_ _ _ [A#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _
Okay, and it looks like this.
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ Real nice [E] one, actually.
Just [A] remember, the root's down there.
_ _ And so you'd have [E] seven, nine, seven, nine, [B] seven, nine.
[E] _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ Then you'd have six, nine.
[E] _
_ _ Then [A] seven, ten [G] on the B.
[B] And then seven, nine on the high E.
_ _ [F#] _
[B] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [B] All right, the next one _ is going to be, the root's going to be on the 12 of the A.
_ _ _ _ And still ten on the [A] B from that other position. _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ And it looks [G#] like this. _ _ _
Nine, twelve _ on [E] _ _
_ the E.
Same thing on [F#] the A. _ _
_ [G#] Then nine, eleven, nine, eleven.
_ [Bm] _
_ Then ten, twelve.
[Em] _ _ _ [A#] _
[B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ All right, still got the root right here. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] And we're going to do this.
_ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A#]
And it's twelve, fourteen.
Twelve, fourteen. _ _
[C#m] Eleven, fourteen.
_ Eleven, fourteen.
[B] _ _
_ [A#] Twelve, fourteen.
[C#] _ _ _ [G#] _ _
_ _ [B] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [F#] And then what we're left with is the first position I taught you again.
Because we're back to the A, _ all the way up to the 17th fret.
And you're just back here in our home row master position.
_ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Here they are one more time.
_ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ [B] All right, that was it.
[F#] Hope that helped.
Hope it was another piece of the [B] puzzle for you.
I'll see you in another lesson real soon hopefully.
Take care.
See you. _ _ _ _ _
