D-G-C is only the key of G if you are thinking of it as a 1-4-5 progression. in the key of D major, it’s a 1-4-7 progression, which isn’t of course, as common, but you can find it in a lot of places. Therefore, as long he’s using D major as the root note he can play D major over it. You can also play D minor pentatonic over it if you try not to hit any minor notes over the D chord. It’ll sound okay in that case.
so if this is in the key of D major….you would never really play the D minor pentatonic, even if you wanted a “minor feel”………….you would play the D maj pent like Marty does or the Bm pent (same thing)
I don’t see why you would approach it by using the D min pent….
also, isnt the vii in the key of D major a C diminished chord, not a C major???
lol 4:09 nice marty
insightful comments on youtube, what gives?
I just can´t understand scales. is it the same fingerin everytime, just change the root? do you have a video for total noobs to get started on scales? I got the e-book with the scales and that got me even more confused…
hey people please tell me me i have braces can i stil play a harmonica if i buy one
@IJameiovs the relative minor is always at the 6th position of a major scale not the 5th,that’s why bmin is the relative minor to dmaj,emin to gmaj,amin to cmaj etc..
how can this be in the key of d? i thought these chords were in the key of g?
thanks for explaining this but i thought in the key of d major only C# could be used?
@mx520rider I think you’re right, C isn’t in the key, but I guess it can be exchanged with C# dim?
But if this is in the key of D major as people are saying, I still don’t think it’s right to plug in the D minor pent…….I guess most of the notes in it will work, but I don’t think it’s correct to think of using D min to improvise over a D major progression??? You would use Bm (or D maj pent among other things)
in the key of D major you can use either D major or B minor, because B minor is the relative of D major (B is the sixth step of the D major scale, and the sixth step of a major scale is always minor.)
ur good marty
i love you
nice guitar
Wow!
See now what you’ve just there Marty, is given me the key to unlocking the Fretboard in 10 short minutes.
Everything I have been learning has suddenly just come together because of this little bit of knowledge.
Thanks very much dude.
That sounds like something that could be in Sweet home alabama
@mx520rider You don’t always have to use the root note to sound sweet over a chord. Notes within the chord will sound nice if used correctly. In this case, the C major chord (C, E, G) only contains the common note with the Dmaj scale “E”. However, adding a D to a C chord gives it a 9th voicing, which is a major 2nd. Since the C chord here is a transitional chord, it can work, and the G contains both a D and B. This is a basic lesson. Technically, one could switch to a G maj. pent over the G chrd
@mx520rider furthermore, just because certain chords don’t match note-for-not with a scale of a key doesn’t necessarily mean they fall out of the key. All the notes represent half steps and whole steps within a scale or mode. Scales are not prisons. They are guidelines. And while playing everything nice and neat within a key’s perfect scale will essentially be “flawless”, it becomes robotic and stale. Contrasting notes give flavor, so long as they are the proper notes outside of a scale.
BTW, Marty, I can’t believe you went Zaxxon with the intro…. awesome! LOL!
Old School FTW!
thanks alot i just wasnt understanding everything about that.
How about a lesson on the standard major scales with the 3-notes-per-string patterns? Don’t know how they are called but it would be very interesting to have some licks which show how to use these kind of scales… That would be very helpful, too! Thx Marty!
Its like a massive Tetris piece has just fallen into place.
TM Padshardbank.
Seriously though, that was very helpful. Your an amazing source of knowledge, and for someone who also suffers stumpy fingers, you are a massive confidence booster too
Actually you did kind of lose me at the end, when you started talking about the pentatonic extension. Either Ive not learnt that yet, or perhaps you had to rush because you were running out of time, but i found that hard to follow.
I didn’t understand why the pattern changed to
5-7 (on the low e string), 5,7 ( a string)
From 5-8, 5-7.?
i have beem practiceing from this video and i have gotten alot better!!!!
yeah i wanna learn the solo mostly…I do want to learn the whole song but mostly the solo and yeah i check out his dont let me down video learnt how to play it in 30 mins greats vid.
