Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Guitar Jet podcast, where you'll skyrocket your
knowledge of theory, techniques and fundamentals for guitar. Hey, I'm
your tr instructor Miles, and today I'm going to tell
you how guitarists can use scale patterns in improvisation and
oars use scale patterns and improvisation to make it easier
to visualize the fretboard and play over chord changes. And

you need to understand the relationship between chords and scales
in order to use your scale patterns. For example, the
minor pentatonic scale patterns and natural minor scale patterns work
well over dinner chords and minor seventh chords. Major pentatonic
scale patterns and major scale patterns work over major chords
and major seventh chords. And that's just scratching the surface

of chord and scale relationships. And my best tip for
you is to know at least one five note scale
pattern and a seven novail pattern for every chord type
you come across. Examples of five note scale patterns include
minor pentatonic scale, mix, oldeon pentatonic scale.

the major scale, natural minor scale, and harmonic minor scale.

as a guitar player. Thank you so much for listening
