Hey everybody,

Now that so many of us are stuck at home, I thought it would be a good time to make a series of videos from my own studio explaining one of the most misunderstood concepts in music - scales and "modes"!

It's really not as complicated as most people tend to think, but unfortunately it's most often taught in a way that makes it much more confusing than it needs to be. Check out my videos below and let me know what you think!

Video #1 - Understanding The Pentatonic Scale

I like them! Working on the "understanding the pentatonic scale" now. You break it down well. Thank you!
