This is great! Such an important concept to learn and it unlocks so much colour in one’s playing. Thank you for these more advanced classes Justin.
great lesson, this is exactly what I need. the lick itself is easy enough but i just want to know what scale pattern I’m in at the changes. Beginning in A major (F sharp minor) then the 4 chord “D” major and “E” major. What scale patterns are we in or is it not that specific and it just works with the correct interval or blue note? Thanks in advance, Dave
Hey Dave,
When you move to the D and E Major chords, you are playing the D Major and E Major pentatonic scale patterns.
So over all 3 chords, you’re playing the same shape ( the G Major shape in CAGED terms) , it’s just the A Major starts a little different from an open string.
A good ‘test’ is to take the ‘slides’ out and play the 3 standard shapes; you’ll see they are exactly the same, just relative to the root of the chord you’re playing over.
Cheers, Shane
