Pentatonic Scales
From Espie Estrella
The word "pentatonic" comes from the Greek word
pente meaning five and tonic meaning tone. Simply put,
the pentatonic scale consists of five notes within one
octave, that's why it is also sometimes referred to as
a five-tone scale or five-note scale. It is believed
that the pentatonic scale was used way back in ancient
times. Composers like Claude Debussy have used
pentatonic scales for added effect in his music.
The anhemitonic form of pentatonic scale has no
semitones (ex. c–d–f–g–a–c} this is the most
commonly used form.
The two basic forms of pentatonic scales are:
Major Pentatonic - Consists of the 1st - 2nd - 3rd
- 5th - 6th notes of a major scale .
Minor Pentatonic - Consists of the same 5 notes of
a major pentatonic scale but its tonic (first note of
the scale} is 3 semitones below the tonic of the major
pentatonic

here is the fifth position

Nastydroid: I play on A,C and f

.....hmmm which one is ur best?

juligon: .....hmmm which one is ur best?

Nastydroid: do u stay in lag?

that is pentatonic scale and it position....for solo beginners

(hope u dnt mind Nastydroid)
Pentatonic scale has Five Major Positions on the Fretboard,and Five minor(modified) Positions,,Most New novice guitarists only know about the Major Five Positions,but its advisable to learn the 5 minor positions too..When playing Some key riffs in Aminor or In F'harm' ,there is a need to improvise the positions to form Modes e.g the Ionian mode(note ds s diff frm scale) startn wt 'la'#

Nastydroid: it all depends on which type of acoustic and d size d prices ranges from (4k-12k)

TonySpike:

That song was essentially strummed using these four chords: D2, Bm, Asus and G. It could be the tuning though, still trying to adjust to my new guitar. I got it about a month ago. You can make use of your laptop sound recorder or cell phone recorder.

OK. thanks.

better job bro, compare to the happy birthday song. the strumming pattern are the same and the guitar seems better tuned. well done.

Chanchit:

If I reply you now, e go be like say I dey derail thread.
The last time I checked, this thread is for guitarists.
Is piano as mobile as guitar..?
Can you use only Piano to play live rock music..?
Can you do what Carlos Santana and Djimi Dludlu does with the guitar on Piano..?
Piano can never give you that acoustic sound.
Don't try to console ur self because you can't play the guitar.

And by the way, I play both.

Is it important to memorize notes when playing solo

['quote author=boofydon]Finding a youtube video to help learn africa style of playing guitar(all those lead and bass guitar sounds you hear in the typical juju songs ) can be quite a dauting task.
To know how to solo is the main thing, strumming chords all the time can be quite boring(unless you want to be a passive player like Asa- who only plays I-II-III or I-IV-V in all her songs)[/quote]hi. Good to see u again after d Nairaland tsunami. How are you & hope u are making progress with ur guitar?

Y'all need some understanding on theory...I told someone lately that I'm a rhythm guitarist(not pro tho) and he said there's nothing like that...I Lmao
Read on...


The terms lead guitar and rhythm guitar are mildly confusing, especially to the beginner. Of course, a guitar should almost always follow some sort of rhythm, whether loose or tight. Plus, many times, guitars are very prominent in a song, where it drives the music, but is not quite lead. Plus, the lead guitarist doesn't even play a lead part, and that happens almost all the time! How can we untangle this mess?

The distinction is somewhat arbitrary. Many bands in contemporary music have two guitarists, where usually one would specialize in "lead" and the other in "rhythm". The Beatles, Dethklok, and Metallica are famous examples of bands who misused this. Lead guitar means melody guitar, meaning that the lead guitarist must specialize in playing the melody of the song, so any guitar playing a solo is not a lead. Sure, a lead guitarist may get to solo, but someone cannot be called a lead guitarist simply because he/she plays a solo in a song. A lead part contributes entirely to melody (as lead guitar means melody guitar), instead of to the foundation, which is carried by the rhythm guitar. This means the rhythm guitarist is the driving source. Lead guitar uses few or no chords, although sometimes it can be following a chord structure, while rhythm guitar uses the chords to drive the music.

It is important to realize that lead guitar and rhythm guitar fit into two different parts of a band, but it just happens that they are played on the same instrument. Lead guitar provides a solo voice, and is grouped with the lead vocals, lead piano, etc. Rhythm guitar is part of the underlying rhythm section, along with instruments like bass, drums, sometimes piano, background vocals, etc. Generally speaking, the rhythm provides the groove of the song, while lead provides the melody.

However, these distinctions get fuzzy, especially when the so-called lead guitarists play chords and double-stops in their riffs. In some cases, a single guitar part provides both the melody and accompaniment (especially power chord riffs, commonly found in rock and metal, and finger picking, found in folk guitar).

Some bands (often three piece bands) feature a single guitarist who can act as either, by either assuming one role at a time or, in a recording studio, recording a lead track over their own rhythm track. For example, the band Dire Straits has been in both situations: in the early days, David Knopfler played rhythm while Mark Knopfler played lead. When David left, Mark usually played both parts on studio albums, and hired another guitarist to play rhythm for live shows. Some guitarists reached such technical proficiency that they were able to play both parts "simultaneously". A famous example of this technique is Dimebag Darrell, particularly on songs such like Walk or Breathing New Life (using an harmonizing effect pedal).

summary abeg...i only saw something like rhythm guitarist...bro you are a lead guitarist,that can only play rhythm but can't solo.what will you call someone that can play rhythm and solo?

woodcrestmayor are you on 2go?
