Member Comments about this Lesson
Discussions with our instructors are just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of JamPlay.I am kind of confused. I was used to talk about 1st, 2nd, 3rd position minor pentatonic, but you gave these patterns different numbers. You say "pattern 4" for what i was used to think of "1st position". And "pattern 5" for what i was used to be called "2nd position".
hi...i don't quite understand the different boxes of the caged system...is it like the 5 diff ways of the penta scale? or is it something different?? thanks or if you know where i can find more info on it...?
for the modes and the pentatonics, i recommend David Walliman's lessons
the patterns are: - for C, the phrygian/lydian mode shape - for A, the mixolydian shape - for G, the aeolian shape - for E, the ionian shape - for D, the dorian shape For pentatonics> C- 4th shape; A- 5th shape; G-1st shape; E-2nd shape; D-3rd shape
Dady Mike got it wrong.. for the Minor Pentatonic shapes if call them shapes.. it goes like this: For pentatonics> C- 3h shape; A- 4th shape; G- 5st shape; E- 1st shape; D- 2nd shape
Looks like a great licks based lesson!
