    @johnhguitar God, if he was going to ask for something, might as well ask big. Can you send me the Strat you’re playing in this video? :-) If not, the SG in back of you will do nicely, too.

    you talk like you were kinda stoned

  • johnhguitar says on July 16, 2010:

    @luisespinax the tabs are actually correct, but hard to read because the video was uploaded a long time ago in lower quality. I’ll reload a higher quality video to eliminate any confusion.

    Dude you are playing them right but the tabs are wrong look at them and change them because it may confuse beginners

  • johnhguitar says on July 16, 2010:

    I do have a book out called ‘Guitar Workout’ published by Hal Leonard. How I’m I suppose to send lessons to you?

  • robban97swe says on July 16, 2010:

    if just the first section of Aminor is the same as C major, then is Minor pentatonic like major pentatonic, but moved up/down 3 frets, right?

  • str8organic38mm says on July 16, 2010:

    @dookiebabii ya it sounds cooler hahah

  • johnhguitar says on July 16, 2010:

    No No It’s all up to the music and the player.

  • dookiebabii says on July 16, 2010:

    so minor pentatonic scales are mostly used than the major pentatonic? did i hear it right?

  • goatnuts8288 says on July 16, 2010:

    @stevesteve55 whatever works for you. i use mine too.

  • Cjtreflip says on July 16, 2010:

    @dookiebabii: yes, just move your root

  • ledzeprulz1234 says on July 16, 2010:

    Great vid! One question though, why not use the pinky? I was told way back it’s good to use the pinky and that I should exercise it as much as I can

  • ixXchaseXxi says on July 16, 2010:

    thnx man, appreciate the tabs

  • dookiebabii says on July 16, 2010:

    man I’m really confused. Does this mean that if I memorize the 5 positions, I can use it for all keys?

  • jamamigo says on July 16, 2010:

    Sweet, spot on, and with tabs. Love that strat btw. Try this with my iPhone app “JAM amigo” which gives you backings for learning and practicing soloing and improvisation, specially good for pentatonic and blues scales. Just look up “JAM amigo” on iTunes/App Store and/or check it out here on youtube by clicking on my username. Enjoy!

    this is a Great Lesson

  • Saimenism says on July 16, 2010:

    what helps me alot when learning scale is guitar pro. You can see ALL possible scales and easily make scale sequences out of it
