just make your own scales using 2-2-1-2-2-2-1. start with a tone (the tonic) move 2 halfsteps up(1 fret) for the second degree 2 halfsteps for the third 1 half step for the fourth ect. 3 notes per string a scale will end 2 strings 2 frets down. and repeat the notes for the remaining strings.

I WAS JUST THINKING THAT lol great video all the less

To all who were wondering, a frigian dominant mode is the frigian mode with a major third as opposed to a minor third like in a regular frigian mode. In E frigian dominant, the notes would be “E, E sharp, G sharp, A, B, C, D, E”. It is relative to A harmonic minor so you can interchange them.

this is the scale that band member’s been
forcing me to learn before. i just didnt remember that it was named the major scale. now, i realize how important it is. LOL

I took lessons with Larry at Berklee from 1980-1984.
There is no better teacher.
It is no accident that Larry replaced the legend,
William Leavit as the Guitar Chairman at Berklee.
On my 2nd day at Berklee, I wandered
into the little theater on Boylston St. Larry was playing
a duet with a violinist. Django and Grappelli tunes. Larry
comp was so hard hittihg there was no need for a bass
player or drums
Larry covered it all.
Larry’s solos were unbelievable
…….. MERC

What about microtonal songs?

i have a question for anyone:
what does the “dominant” mean when you say phrygian dominant, or lydian dominant, etc.
i get modes and how they work, i’m just not clear on what the “dominant” means or if it has meaning and changes something about the mode.
thanks a lot in advance. :]

hmm, I saw this years ago, and now having gone through intensive scale exercises and analysis, I’m thinking their isn’t much benefit to the stretch method. and besides, it’s rather too obvious, not something to be amazed because it’s taught by someone from berklee.

imho, i think the bottom line is, whatever the shape, pick one that you are comfortable with, that you can very quickly remember while on stage, and don’t worry about the left hand moving around, cos it will move around anyway.

Actually Mr. Baione, chairman of the department, great teacher, and fabulous guitarist, has spoken in error here: Chords have roots; Scales have tonics.

as the other guy said, Pentatonic is good for blues and country style solos. But if you know the G major scale, you should know pretty much every major scale in at least that one position that you already know. You’ll find that if you slide that G major scale up or down that you change the key. Slide up the first “G” of the scale 2 frets and you have an A major scale, for example.

i think some musicians consider the F natural in F sharp major as an E sharp, I assume that’s the confusion.

u must learn scale in other keys not just in g

I like the painting of Dhanjgo Reindhart in the background.

Take lessons from a good guitar teacher. They’re worth every penny.

good

Great video

Sounds very Jerry Garcia style

Well done sir.
Thanks for the lesson.

Hey Marty! Cool lesson but i just wanted to point out the fact that the fingering you have just shown for A Ionian could also be considered f# Aeolian if you were to start on the second fret. Thanks for all the vids keep on droppin’ knowledge bombs!

hooooly crap, I strive to be as amazing as you!

a.w.e.s.o.m.e.t.h.a.n.x.!.

Nice lesson it looks like you smoked Sativa this morning in this vid lol

In My Life
