Ah now I see the mistake - yes you are right there is no 2 in the minor pentatonic ?

Hey Tony, yes our little community is growing every day. ? I dont get what you mean with the 2nd minor pentatonic formula. 1 2 b3 4 5 b7 is the root position.

Hey Tony, thanks for joining our little community here. Yes I know the topic of intervals can be told complicated or easy. I prefer the easy way. It's how it is you just need to learn them by heart but the good news is once you know them and you recognize them on the fretboard everything starts to fall into place and makes fretboard geography much easier and gives you the ability to play freely on the fretboard.

Guitar Secrets - Sound Great On Cheap Guitar Equipment In this tutorial I talked about how to sound great on cheap guitar equipment. This is a question which probably drives most of your electric guitar players in the world. You only have a limited budget to buy a good guitar amplifier. Maybe you can spend $200 for a guitar amp or even less and you're frustrated because you think you cannot sound great on a cheap guitar amplifier. The difference between cheap and expensive guitar equipment is in many cases the dynamic range. What is the dynamic range ? It's the way the tone reacts to your playing technique by going softer or harder in volume or your picking technique or any kind of articulation work on the fretboard.. I have good news for you. In the tutorial I show you how you can work out a technique to sound great on any equipment by using cheap equipment. The main step is to switch off all effects and just have the pure tone of your amplifier and then you start to work out your technique and how to create tone and sound just on your fretboard.If you must have this less than a year then you will be able to sign greater than any equipment you will have and well once you add effects again they will amplify and multiply the greatness of your sound with your learned on just play on cheap equipment. This tutorial is from the “ must-have “ series, meaning. It is for all tour players out there on this planet. I had this lesson myself on the very end of my music studies at music University and it helped me alot to develop my sound to the next level. Slow Blues A 50.mp3

Here you can learn to play the rhythm guitar of " Just Got Paid " by Joe Bonamassa as it is played on his live version in the Royal Albert Hall. I checked out the 3 main parts of the song which is the intro where he interacts with the audience, then the main riff with the singing part and the refrain part and at the end the interlude which leads to the guitar solo. The best is that you first learn all these 3 parts and then listen to the original song to figure out when which part is played. I can checked the song till the guitar solo starts so this should work out pretty well for you guys. Just Got Paid .pdf Just Got Paid .gp

When comes to smooth jazz George Benson is one of the go-to guys. I've always been a huge fan of George Benson and his guitar playing even his more sweet songs like on his CD Breezin. In this tutorial I'll show you some tricks and tips how to play a song pretty much in the style of breathing by George Benson with the chords Dmaj7 / Bm7 / Em7 / A7. This is a so-called 1625 progression which is normally displayed with Roman letters. In this tutorial I first show you the chords, then explain the progression, then show the used scales and then show you a simple theme which really works nights on this progression. The theme is very simple to play and give you an idea how you can develop a theme with simple melodic lines. Then I'll show you how to make variations on a theme by using the associated scale in this case this is the D major pentatonic. Since the major pentatonic sounds a little bit sweet I show you a trick how to use an approach note on the third note of the major pentatonic scale to create a more bluesy sound. For the concept to play smooth jazz theme song is to first play the theme then start to do variations on the theme then go into improvisation with a major pentatonic and then give you the more highlighted line with the Blues Licks and at the end you come back to the theme. Discounted is very similar to normal Jazz improvisation and it smooth jazz you just going to work more in a bluesy kind of way. At the end of the tutorial I going to play for 3 minutes example how to develop your ideas on improvisation on variations on a theme and to make it interesting to the listener.
