@killerkoala79 They are one of the most easy and effective ways to create or especially improvise a solo (rock, hard rock, blues). Root note is used to identify the key of the scale. For example, if the root is A, then the scale will be the A minor pentatonic. Connecting the penta scales together can be done with the musical modes. There are different patterns with the same notes of the Diatonic (main) scale.

I suggest you to use for now the main scale and try to improvise over backing tracks.

Let’s say there is a song that starts off with a G chord. Does that mean the song is in the key of G?

And if it is, does that mean you play a G scale trough the whole song or do you switch between scales, like chords?

I don’t quite get it.

@Corpsegrinder1712 And that little cluster thing at 7:56 is very Hendrix-ish. I love it !
Thanks again Marty!

Whoa that lick at 3:06 is really sweet. Its simple but really sweet. Thanks Marty. That whole lesson really boosted me to another level of playing man. I’ll become quite a good lead guitarist slowly. It feels great to have these little barriers flying away one by one- just because of your lessons !

Marty, just want you to know that you’ve been touching a lot of people, not just in United States but all over the world, by generously sharing us or should I say teaching us all you know about guitar. Honestly, there’s a lot of guitar instructors out there trying to teach just like you but believe me, they don’t seem so passionate.

Amazing finish on the LP.
You don’t often see those though it’s a standard, i doubt its a vintage one is it?

@XIIdmb53IIX Listen to the music and spend some time with the Minor Pentatonic. For example… try a couple of Black Sabbath songs with the A Minor and some Judas Priest in E Minor, sooner or later you’ll find a lick that sounds good or from a solo you remember well. The Pentatonic Scales are pretty much universal, just experiment.
