Welcome to GMC Vinny!
Whenever I think about it it hits me how much you can learn passively, without having an instruments in your hands, just by hanging out with musicians so it is really great that you have joined the forum. I have also reacted on you mentioning that you learned everything "by ear" - like it is a bad thing? On contrary, those skills are golden and what you feel you're missing should be easy to add once you have good "ear training" foundations.

Ok, thanks a lot for getting back to me. I think I understand your (musical) situation! One thought: It's good that you can recognise the minor pentatonic all over the neck. Learning any scale all over the neck is an excellent starting point for learning the other ones. Have you ever spotted notes that are often played in combination with the pentatonic scale - yet they do not really "belong" to that scale? Which ones? yes actually. like if im palying an A minor pentatonic i have noticed that i can throw in the F# which isnt part of it but it sounds like it works. and also the D# which makes it the pentaonic blues i believe. But im not sure why the F# works there i just know that it sounds very cool lol. Hi Vinny! Welcome to GMC! I just commented your take at REC. Please check it out!

I'd just like to add that when I was starting with theory, learning intervals (2nd, sixth, flat 7th etc) was something which unlocked a lot of subsequent theory for me. It was truly eureka moment for me as a lot of things started making sense from that point. I'm mentioning this since I have noticed Kristofer referred to "adding notes to scales" in the previous posts which included adding 2nd or sixth (b6). Knowing names of intervals and where to find them on the fretboard (rules about their "positions" are universal) makes communication between musicians easier and also remembering some scale related stuff like the extensions of pentatonic scale smoother.
In case you feel the need, you could check out this theory lesson on intervals : https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...t=0#entry652497 -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
