Minor Pentatonic Video Lesson Series

[mark wein]

EDIT: I just updated this with the new website info, so it should be back to working.....


I've been doing these lessons just for the last few months and I've been posting them on other forums but since I just started here I though I'd play a little "catch up"....I might do a block of these each week in addition to the weeks' new lesson for a couple of weeks...

This is one of my first lesson series from a few months ago, exploring the minor pentatonic scale with ideas on simple phrasing, expanding the stock blues box scale fingering, learning the scale in terms of "scale degrees" and some simple sequences...

Have fun!

Yup, really nice lessons. I like your teaching style.

Like I said in the "Harmonizing" thread, I watched some last night, and it fits in well with some theory I have been reading up on. Thanks!

 

[oldguy]

Thank you, Mark, for putting these up. They will be helpful to a lot of Fretters here, including me. I stated earlier that even licks I "know", as in play often, are better understood when the theory is explained. You do that well in the videos, IMO, very helpful.:AOK: :AOK:

 

[mark wein]

Wow! Thank you guys! This is the nicest welcome I've had on any forum....I met Robert on another forum a while back and he was gracious enough to introduce me to everyone here. I really look forward to hanging out and posting here!

I'm off to do a little exploring in the other forums....:beer:

careful what you ask for....the answer is buried in a thread around here...not sure which one....a search for "pancakes, nude and possibly my username" might yield the correct thread...have to read the whole thread though! ancake:

i just checked out your first lesson....thanks a lot....i like your style....

it's great that there are some really talented players on this board that are so willing to teach hacks like me how to play!

thanks,

Great explanations, Mark! Some guys go way overboard with heavy theory and jargon - your's is right to the point! :AOK:

Thanks! I think that the key is to remember that there is only so much a person can take in at a time, especially in a video over the internet where they can't ask you any questions....
