Transcript

In this lesson, I will give you a quick introduction to the G major pentatonic scale, or sometimes just referred to as the G pentatonic scale. The pentatonic scale has five notes in G or in the G major pentatonic scale, it starts on G, the G note, then it goes to a, and I'm just going to show you all this on the low E string right now. Then it goes to B, D, E, G, so you can see there's 12345 different notes and then ending back on G. So let me explain to you the diagram below. What you see on the bottom is the low E string. Then you see the A string, one up from there, then the dg and so on, then you should see the little dots on the frets that are associated with the G major pentatonic scale, G, A, B, etc. These are all notes.

It's also good to recognize what a half step and a whole step is. a half step is just moving from one fret to the very next. So for example, if we were to go a half step up from G, it would be just the very next fret, a whole step is two half steps. So going from G to a, and it's good to be aware of that, because that's what scales are made from is a series of whole steps and half steps. So you can see here is a whole step A to B There's another whole step. Okay, so the pentatonic scale is using a series of whole steps, and, and so on.

Also, it's good to recognize that the strings can be numbered. You'll see that a lot when you're watching tutorials online or, or going to different tabs or things like that, you'll see that the strings are numbered as you see in the diagram. The high E string is the one, B is two, g three, D four, a five, and then the low E is number six. Now let's go on to the next lesson, where we will learn how to play the G major pentatonic scale.
