idk why i just dont like that guy, hes just like, yeea mutha fucka look at me, its just the penatonic scale dont look so amazed when finish playing it, i mean doesnt he? douche… -.-
I tell people that …
I tell people that it’s only as hard as you want to make it. There is only 7 notes that can be played. how they can be combined is where it can get confusing. Dont start learning guitar and want to play Steve Vai. Start with Green Day or something easy , so it can be fun and not so much like work.
because there are 5 …
because there are 5 positions to play them in, each having a different shape (but the same exact notes) Most people use the one the guy used here, he also used a very common key for learning the pentatonic scale.
It gets much easier …
It gets much easier…the concepts repeat themselves the entire fretboard. Even when you change key,the scale stays the same shape. Figure out those patterns, and you’ve pretty much nailed most of the concept of the guitar..the rest is developing technique and dexterity THAT’S where playing guitar gets hard when you’re starting out. I’d suggest learning the major scale first..because all the other important scales are in it already, you’ll see what I mean later on.
In music, there are …
In music, there are intervals which are numbered based off where they sit within the entire scale (which is only 7 notes, which repeat). Think of a pianos white keys starting at note C.Its the first interval for that key. the next interval is D(2),E(3), etc. until you return to C again. A minor third means you are taking the third interval and making the note flat a half tone (down one fret on guitar) So, that means if C is 1 and E is 3, a minor third would be E flat instead of regular E.
It might be …
It might be confusing at first. You just have to put the time in to understand it. It definetly gets easier.

I was just looking in which fret does it start, i know the rest.
AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! …
AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! so many numbers and letters. This is worse than my algebra 2 class. I love electric guitar but why does this stuff gotta be so dang confusing
there’s 5 different …
there’s 5 different positions in the pentatonic scale – then there’s variations of major ( happy sound) and minor ( sadder) to suit the music. A minor pentatonic is probably the most common.
A minor 3rd is …
A minor 3rd is basically 4 frets spacing. It’s the beginning of the minor chord – which gives the music a sadder feel. eg of minor 3rd is E to G (open string 6) then play the 3rd fret – or from F(6th string – 1st fret) to Ab (6th string – 4th fret). If you play an Em chord – you’ll be playing the note of G and B as well ( G is the minor 3rd)
Pentatonic is 5. As …
Pentatonic is 5. As long as it gets to be a pentatonic and you do it in a scale way it will be a pentatonic scale
