    He’s playing blues, so ring finger is better cause it gives more power on bending compared to your pinky finger. :)

  • Naewulf 11 years ago

    he says “anal” on 0:30

  • soncubano6 11 years ago

    penta = 5
    Tonic = tone(s)
    your scale has six tones in the first octave.

  • funkybioped 11 years ago

    Thanks Tim. I learned this pattern a while ago from a friend. Practiced it but never knew how to really use it or what it was really. Stupid question. What chords would you be able to use this with?

  • chevy Judson 11 years ago

  • Brent Enman 11 years ago

    He is adding the “blue” note to the scale, he should also add its octave on the g string if he is going to do it, but its all good!

  • thanglambieng 11 years ago

    Thank you! This simple lesson just made my eyes opened to the guitar’s world !!!

  • Peter Outlaw 11 years ago

    great look at your interpretation, don’t know why you stick that blue note in when your showing the penatonic still I find it very informative, love the bends.

  • Peter Outlaw 11 years ago

    the opening cord is almost always the key. if you have a music sheet the the sharps or flats in the stave show what the key is.

  • swiftlessons 11 years ago

    Great vid man!

  • swiftlessons 11 years ago

    Blues guys don’t use there pinky on the high notes, the ring finger is stronger for bends.

  • solijoli123 11 years ago

    Use your pinky!!!

  • JAMES NOAH EARVYN Johnson 11 years ago

    thats the blues scale

  • xXrevolver1836Xx 11 years ago

    yepp

  • atk326 11 years ago

    when you play the open string as E, the notes go in the order: E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F… There are half steps between E and F and between B and C. There are whole steps between all the other notes. You move up 1 fret for half steps and 2 frets for whole steps. Hope that helps.

  • Izaak247 11 years ago

    And if the top string is E (lowest pitch) how is the 5th A? How does that work?

  • Izaak247 11 years ago

    @CwiczPompki how do you find out what key a song is in?

  • Cwicz Pompki 11 years ago

    No problem. If you’ve got any other questions about guitar playing, just pm me. :)

  • BrandonBearsVarsity1 11 years ago

    ok thanks.

  • Cwicz Pompki 11 years ago

    Yes, if you play it starting on the third fret (which is a G sound), you’re gonna have G pentatonic/blues scale (depedning if you add the extra note).

  • CoolRagings 11 years ago

    Cool!

  • Pufu Andrei 11 years ago

    just learned why there is a great difference between Carlos Santana and everyone else ( he use more pentatonic combination in a song than others in 10 )

  • leeonerd13 11 years ago

    marty we love u!!!!!

  • marcosfelipe74 11 years ago

    The 12 E scale star on 12th fret (root-E), in fact as shown in the video you star t one hole step (a tone) below the root, in the 10th fret and follow the same pattern. there is a map in the J guitar site, just look for blues scale calculator, E.

  • TheYoungMilo 11 years ago

    Any key. Just move the shape around on the guitar neck so that the root note is whatever note you want the key to be. Look up the CAGED system.

  • Adrian Campbell 11 years ago

  • tb0nestk 11 years ago

    Marty, thank you!

  • derlipsiandi 11 years ago

    You teach about the B minor scale. OK so far and thanks a lot – but how could it work with E minor (which is more usual IMO)? I will try to figure out it by myself, but maybe further on you can show?

  • sonicattack77 11 years ago
