Jessy25th February 2009Salut David,en effet je suis Français.
Dire que je t'ai déjà écris en anglais (mon pauvre angalis) pour te demander des infos sur le sweeping et sur les positions en triad....J'avais un fichier word à te montrer que j'ai commencé à faire.
Comment faire pour te le faire parvenir ?
Si je ne me trompe pas tes playbacks sont trop court pour jouer toutes les positions de ce cours. Isn't it ?

ahh np, i really enjoy listening to them
- David Wallimann8th January 2008Hi David, your simpler theory lessons on scales such as these have helped me tremendously, so thank you! But i did notice in the video that your doing little bends every once and a while, i would really appreciate it if the bends were labeled on the tabs. THANKS
I'll keep that in mind in my next lessons!
These bends are micro bends and I use them without thinking about it. They're not intentional, but make the lead a little more musical.
As a matter of fact you'll see a lesson on that subject coming up soon.
Thanks for noticing! - Terry And Guitar8th January 2008

I know this has already been addressed but I want to re-itterate it's importance...It would be SO awesome to have the backing tracks loops. You get on a roll or like me...having a breakthrough moment when you can actually keep up or almost keep up with these incredible instructors and the *@#**&# backing track stops....AHHHHHHHH! It's the glue man.....the glue....the rythm and tempo...thanks for letting me vent. This Place is truly top of the line. Thanks to every instructor and person behind the scene.

- My notes
Today's lesson will help you memorize the 5 positions of the pentatonic scale. We'll work in A major.
The major pentatonic scale has a relative minor pentatoinic scale, which means that both of these scales share the same notes and positions.
What makes one sound major or minor depends on the chords in the background.
Memorize these positions and try them on the backing track I provided here. Thisa is an excellent exercice to memorize them and be comfortable with them all across the fretboard.
Have fun!
