Kristofer Dahl5th December 2007This is fantastic David - the clean tone in combination with your technique gives a very precise and groovy phrasing! Not to mention it’s weaved into an excellent theory exercise - I am having a go at this one!
botoxfox5th December 2007Groovy indeed...
-orb-5th December 2007This is fantastic.
I would prefer if you also had a video showing the different boxes/positions all the way through for just one of the scales. I guess you're assuming the person playing would already know these, but it'd be helpful.- -orb-5th December 2007
Oh my bad you have a picture for that on the intro video
didn't see that when just looking at the lesson vids

skennington5th December 2007Thanks David. This is a nice exercise for me. I'm a beginner and have been going through the beginner exercises for scales that Kris has done. I think this one is going to help me break out of "the box"

This lesson will focus on a serie of modulation. All the different keys will be minor keys and we will be using minor pentatonic scales only.
I tried to include different pentatonic boxes for you tu use, but you can use any box you want as long as you are staying in the correct key.
Here are the different keys we'll use:
A min
B min
G min
G#min
A min
A#min
F#min
A min
I wrote down the 5 boxes of the minor pentatonic. I didn't write them in a specific key as this song uses a lot of different ones. As you memorize these boxes, you need to understand that the blue notes are the roots of the key you'll play over. So as you are improvising, make sure that the root of the box you chose corresponds to the root of the key you're playing in.
Enjoy!
