    Default Minor Pentatonic Video Lesson Series

    EDIT: I just updated this with the new website info, so it should be back to working.....


    I've been doing these lessons just for the last few months and I've been posting them on other forums but since I just started here I though I'd play a little "catch up"....I might do a block of these each week in addition to the weeks' new lesson for a couple of weeks...

    This is one of my first lesson series from a few months ago, exploring the minor pentatonic scale with ideas on simple phrasing, expanding the stock blues box scale fingering, learning the scale in terms of "scale degrees" and some simple sequences...

    Have fun!

    Yup, really nice lessons. I like your teaching style.

    I bet that several forum members will benefit a lot from these lessons

    Like I said in the "Harmonizing" thread, I watched some last night, and it fits in well with some theory I have been reading up on. Thanks!

    Thank you, Mark, for putting these up. They will be helpful to a lot of Fretters here, including me. I stated earlier that even licks I "know", as in play often, are better understood when the theory is explained. You do that well in the videos, IMO, very helpful.: :

    i just checked out your first lesson....thanks a lot....i like your style....

    it's great that there are some really talented players on this board that are so willing to teach hacks like me how to play!

    thanks,

    Thanks! I think that the key is to remember that there is only so much a person can take in at a time, especially in a video over the internet where they can't ask you any questions....
