  This problem concerns the muting of the strings. As you play the instrument with 6 strings, it is important to keep every string tamed so it doesn't produce any unwanted noise. When you play one string, all other should be muted.
  
  You can do muting with both fretting and picking hand. Muting with the fretting hand requires you to gently touch other strings then the one you play, so you prevent them from ringing. Muting with the picking hand requires you to palm mute (with the side of your palm, bellow the pinky finger) the strings above the one you play.
  
  Take it easy with these muting techniques, as they require some time to develop. It's not hard, specially if you start implementing it now in your practice sessions. If you want more details on this topic, feel free to contact me, or watch this "Basics of Muting" lesson that I made some time ago.
- ygro4th January 2012
  i mean... how I mute the string? with my fongers or with my right hand?
- ygro4th January 2012
  another great problem is when I pass to another string and my finger ups to that string, the original still ring without any finger preseed and finally there are two or 3 strings ringing alone and it´s not clear... (sorry for the english, I don ´t know if you understand me

  ivan... this is imposssibble, absolutely impossible too speed!!! hehehe any suggestions for the fingers and the pick?
  
  Take your time with it man, don't rush it
  
  What it's important is to maintain precision all the time, while increasing tempo gradually. In the lesson we go through note duration changes fairly quickly. Try to stay on slow tempo for couple of days, to create proper foundation. Then take a rest for a day or two, and then try it again. You'll see that progress is clearly visible. When on slow tempo, do this:
  
  - pick all the notes with equal loudness
  - pick from the wrist
  - both hands should be completely relaxed, only force needed is the one that enables you to hold the pick, and fret a note
  - try to keep the notes ringing as long as possible (pauses between the notes should be shorter and shorter)
  
  Let me know how it went!

  Hello, and thank you!
  
  CAGED note positions are simply positions or boxes that you use to group notes together on the fretboard in several positions. This makes them easy for remembering and referencing. Here's a theory article that explains in detail, but let me know if I can help you with them!

  Hello Ivan, great lesson!
  
  I'm trying to follow it (and also playing it clean, as your other lesson). I don't really know what to search when you mean CAGED note positions.. could link me to some web which explains this in detail and comprehensive way?
  
  Thanks!

  Thanks for this series! This is exactly what i needed to improve my pentatonic scale.
- Ivan Milenkovic8th January 2009
  Hey man. I definitely recommend taking a break with those exercises if you can't really play them up to speed. Don't worry about it and just try the same exercise after 5 days or a week. In the meantime play something else. During that period you should move the limit a bit with those 16th triplets. Try to take a metronome as well and practice 16th note triplets on several lower bpm's like 40bpm and 50bpm.
- Backfire7th January 2009
  Do you recommend not moving on if I'm struggling through the 16th triplets?
- Ivan Milenkovic8th December 2008
  The box patterns are the same mate, only the box patterns shift left or right, depending in what key you are in.
  For example if you check out the A minor pentatonic box 1 on the 5th fret (the one that starts with A note on the low E string), you will see that this box is the same as G minor pentatonic box 1 on the 3rd fret. So basically you only have to shift the boxes horizontally on the neck if you know what I mean and choose your key.
- playaxeman7th December 2008
  Hi Ivan,
  
  I have to dive into this more better.
  
  I understand that every Maj has it Min (C--> Am)
  G-->Em) etc.
  
  I dig that both must be the same because of they have the same formula or structure:
  3 2 2 3 2 (minor)
  A C D E G A
  
  The major pentatonic scale's structure is
  2 2 3 2 3.
  C D E G A C
  
  But when i look to the boxes of the G minor the patters are diffent than the boxe of the CAGED lesson Video.
  
  Still don't understand why, probly because in your video you start with a diffent root note. I thought that there only where 5 boxes: Here are the boxes i mean: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...?showtopic=5023
- Ivan Milenkovic7th December 2008
  The minor and major pentatonic boxes are the SAME. This is because every major scale has it's own relative minor scale. For example if you check out C major scale, you will see that 6th degree of that scale is A note, and that it builds A minor scale. A minor scale is relative to C major scale. Every minor scale has it's own major scale, and the notes they share are the same.
  
  It is the same with major and minor pentatonic scales. C major pentatonic scale has same notes as A minor pentatonic scale. with 5 boxes, there will be always one major box, and one minor box that are relative to each other, if you know what I mean.
- playaxeman6th December 2008
  Hello Ivan
  
  Thanks very much for your quick feedback.
  
  I understand the logic now:
  C= the pattern/box in the 8th postion because there is the C (low E string)
  
  A= is the pattern on the 5 th position
  
  G= is the pattern on the 3 th position
  
  E=is the pattern open position
  
  d=is the pattern on the 10 th position
  
  Just to be sure the patters or boxes are not minor boxes?
  
  Because i am doing a study on minor pentatonics (because Andres adviced in his theory lessons about this subject to start with the minor.)
  
  The minor boxes and the CAGED boxes in your lesson differ. Is that beacuse your lesson is dealing the major pentatonic boxes?
  
  Cheers
  Robert
- Ivan Milenkovic5th December 2008
  QUOTE (playaxeman @ Dec 5 2008, 07:31 PM)
  My questions are:
  - what is the logic behind the caged?
  - at what key do you use these CAGED patters or boxes?
  - I don't see any # of b notes is that on purpose?
  
  Hey mate,
  
  1. The logic behind the system is pretty simple mate. CAGED boxes (there are 5 of them) are there to split the pentatonic scale across the neck so you can learn it more easily. It is called the CAGED system because of the starting notes of every pattern. These notes are on the low E string. The purpose of the boxes is to learn the pentatonic scale throughout the neck.
  
  2. You can use the pentatonic patterns in ANY key. They all have the name CAGED by the C major pentatonic scale, but you can use the patterns in any key - just shift the patterns left or right on the neck.
  
  3. C major pentatonic scale doesn't have any sharped of flatted notes. This is why you don't see any # and b signs. Every scale has different notes, so some patterns will have sharps and flats, for example if you play A major pentatonic scale you will see that it has C# and F# notes.
  
  You can check out Andrew's theory lessons on more detail on pentatonic scales and scales in general mate, or if you have any more questions feel free to ask, I'll be happy to help.
- playaxeman5th December 2008
  Hi Ivan
  
  I am not familair with CAGED-patterns, only the caged chord system.
  
  My questions are:
  - what is the logic behind the caged?
  - at what key do you use these CAGED patters or boxes?
  - I don't see any # of b notes is that on purpose?
- Ivan Milenkovic20th October 2008
  Hey man,
  
  I think if you manage to play the speed I'm playing, that's cool mate, but you really don't have to do that, and force yourself if you cannot achieve it atm. Just push on to the tempo I'm playing the lesson. You can use the metronome to assist you, by changing the tempos on various time signatures. This way you don't have those jumps like from 8th notes to 8note triplets. You can first cover 8th notes on 60, 70, 80, 90bpm and then move to triplets and so on.
  
  I can't really tell you how much time you can practice this, it's a very individual matter. IMO you should practice it until it is fun for you to practice, you see some improvement, and when you hit a barrier, just cool down for a couple of days and start again. The main thing is to play it precisely.
- PawelKalkus20th October 2008
  Hi Ivan,
  
  few moire questions. I've been doing first and second part of your series for the past two weeks. I wanted to know whether i need to play the patterns from the second part with the top speed from the first part ? Or just match with your tempo ? And additionally, can u write how much time do u think have to be spent on the whole series ? Month ? Two ?
  
  Cheers,
  
  Pawel
- Ivan Milenkovic9th October 2008
  I'm glad the lesson could help you mate.
  
  Those intervals are good to remember, because if you play from any other position, intervals will always be the same. If you remember the intervals, later on you exactly know what modes/chords you have around you when you play. So it is not a rule to remember the intervals, and you don't have to do it, but it is useful to learn them. CHeers mate
- RouteOne9th October 2008
  Salut Ivan,
  I'm going back and forth (as Macsomething would say) with your lessons and it seems sometimes that my fingers are learning much faster than I am (but not as fast as some of you, sure). I quote you:"I've made the scale in intervals because it is easier and better to remember the numbers of intervals than the note values". Let's say that remember is for me a hard task, mainly because I don't know what should I remember. That's the less good thing with web training. Well, why and what for shall I learn numbers better than… Thanks for a striking answer.
- Ivan Milenkovic28th September 2008
  Sure you can start with another lesson. In fact - it is recommended, so you give time for the first one to settle a bit. Cheers
- PawelKalkus28th September 2008
  ok thanks,
  
  can I move to the next stage of the course being able to play fast but no so fast as u show in the first part ? I would still practice to become faster and faster but at the same time I could start learning the other parts of your course
- Ivan Milenkovic27th September 2008
  Hey man,
  
  Your method of practicing is quite good, so I suggest you stick with it. You will cover the scales more thoroughly by increasing tempo in small increments. btw that is the way I practice most of my stuff as well, but couldn't make a lessons like that since the videos would be too long, if you get me.
- PawelKalkus27th September 2008
  Hi Ivan !
  
  Just a short question about the first lesson. I started it yestarday and I'm doing the whole scale with my metronome. Is it ok if I play it with for example 70 bpm, after few minutes change it to 75 bpm and then 80 and so on ? Should I end playing with the same speed as you do at the end of each part ? Or can I move to the next level without being able to play with the top speed ?
- shammy18th September 2008

- JoseAlonso5th August 2008
  You bet I am tired to "play like that". I joined yesterday and this morning your pentatonic series was on my agenda. I have been practicing scales for the last couple of months with only books and no game plan. So I was on my own for tempos and beats and what not. This workshop is incredibly well structured. I will be leaving tomorrow for three weeks to Spain and your Pentatonic workshop Level 1 to 3 along with your Little Jazz Workshop will be my homework for the next three weeks. I will not have Internet access, well only modem no High Band width so I downloaded all your lessons to take with me on my computer and iPod. Will tell you how it went when I am back.
- Ivan Milenkovic21st July 2008
  No problem man, I'm very glad you find it useful.

  wow man this helps so much, I am even able to the 16th notes bar at the end. Thanx
- Ivan Milenkovic13th June 2008
  THanks for kind words man.
  
  About sixteen triplets, I suggest you try to count them 3 at a time. For example in one beat\click you have 6 of them, so you can tap your foot and every time you go down with the foot you count 1 2 3 and when you go up with the foot you go again 1 2 3, so you have:
  1 2 3 - 1 2 3 1 2 3 - 1 2 3 1 2 3 - 1 2 3 1 2 3 - 1 2 3 in one bar of four clicks. I hope this makes sense.
- Gus13th June 2008
  Really great lesson. I decided to start this series to rework on basics and actually already learn some stuff. First, I realized I never practice any exercise starting with upstroke. Second, this is really great as timing exercise. I was really needing that. About 16th triplets, do you have any tip to count it? I can play along with you, but I can't do it properly on other tempos... All the other patterns I can play other tempo
- Ivan Milenkovic3rd June 2008
  No problem man, thanks for kind words, it means a lot.
- jdriver3rd June 2008
  OK, now is the time to avoid developing bad habits, so I will stop cheating. haha. Thanks man you are the greatest.
- Ivan Milenkovic2nd June 2008
  It is important to develop both upstroke and downstroke technique in both directions yes. It will mean a lot when transferring strings, and form a solid foundation for further AP development.
- jdriver2nd June 2008
  I have a question. Is it important to pick the strings the way you show, with downstroke on every string going up and down, and then upstroke all the way down and back up? It seems I have been picking down when moving down, and picking up when moving back up the strings.
  
  Is this important, or just being able to pick in both directions?
  
  Thanks

- Marcus Lavendell16th April 2008
  Very good lesson Ivan!
- Ivan Milenkovic16th April 2008
  Thanks a lot guys.
  
  One thing to note in the beginning - this series will consist of 5-6 different lessons and they will be mostly EXERCISE lessons - each working on different aspects of pentatonic scale use. Along the way we will cover other skills too. I will try to include something for everyone, something for those who are just getting to know the pentatonic scale and right up to different pentatonic scale uses in jazz/rock/fusion genres.
  
  I will try to keep this whole series more beginner oriented tho, because I came to the conclusion that a lot of people here do need these kind of lessons. too. I know I would have definitely give everything if I had these kind of lessons back when I was starting with pentatonics.
  
  Thanks again and have fun with the lessons!

Hi GMC, welcome to my new Mega Series called "Pentatonic Workshop". I've tried to create a new concept of lessons based on my experience on GMC so far so I hope you like it.

I've noticed that many users want a lesson for live practicing (in addition to backings and Guitar Pro file of course). So I've tried to make a series that would be simple but effective in increasing your overall pentatonic skills and other techniques along the way, so we can cover a wider area of our guitar playing interest.

In each title you can see the level of the lesson and on the end of this text you can see what the lesson contains and does. The lessons will start from level 1 (aboslute beginner) and go from there. When the series are complete there will be everything for everybody, since we will go to some more advanced stuff later on. Hopefully if you go through all the lessons thoroughly, you can take your pentatonic and other skills to a much higher level.

This lesson is a LEVEL 1 lesson and it is made for absolute beginner in pentatonic scales, so I'll try to explain the CAGED forms and how to learn them effectively. Since it is not to effective to practice only one skill at the time, I've inserted practices for different note values in this one. So we can together learn the CAGED shapes of the pentatonic scale AND learn to differentiate and play different note values along the way. These two important aspects of music are in my opinion essential if you wanna develop yourself further as a guitar player.

This lesson contains:

- Pentatonic CAGED shapes
- Play along slow videos / exercises
- Note Values and timing exercises

The Pentatonic scale is a 5 note scale. It is very universal and especially good for beginners. Pentatonic is the basis of many types of music and also the very first thing that a Guitar Player should use in order to develop an ear for five notes and a matrix (or platform) that can be used for further, more complex music development.
