    Major Pentatonic

    The major pentatonic is similar to the minor pentatonic: The intervals for a major pentatonic are 1 2 3 5 6 1. The C major scale includes C D E G A C. The difference between the major and minor scale is the minor scale has a flatten 3rd interval. The following is the most common generic box shape for the pentatonic major scale: The major pentatonic sounds happier and are not used as extensively in rock and blues as the minor version of the scale. They sound good over major chords, and power chords. Sometimes the minor and major scales are used in the same song, with the major scale used for the chorus, and the minor for the verse. There are no hard and fast rules when in comes to scales and soloing. It s a matter of style and personal choice, as long as it sounds good, go for it. But you will find that if you use these simple scale forms in conjunction with an appropriate chord progression this will sound good more often.

    Minor Pentatonic

    Minor pentatonic scales are used extensively in modern and classic rock. A strong understanding of how pentatonic scales work, and can be used for soloing and creating riffs, is extremely important. They are also the easiest and generally the first scales most people learn.

    I assume you know how to read basic TAB format for this lesson. If you have not been exposed to TAB then you should review our lesson on reading guitar TAB before moving on.

    The Minor Pentatonic scale consists of the following intervals: 1 b3 4 5 b7 1. In the key of A the intervals would be the notes of A C D E G A. There are 5 scale shapes in box patterns for the pentatonic scales.

    The 5 is the fifth fret and is the root note, thus the name of the key and scale is A, the intervals determines the type Minor or Major. This scale shape above is the most scale and is used in rock, blues and most styles of music. If you move this entire shape up to positions on the guitar and play the same shape you will have a B minor pentatonic. Likewise if you slide the entire shape down two potions you have a G minor pentatonic.

    Practice this scale shape several times a day, moving it into different positions or keys, for variety. Many of rocks most famous licks are derived form this shape. If you are going to play guitar learning this one basic shape is mandatory.

  • Love Is

    Love is the union of two people,
    Who strive to attain many mutual goals.
    Love is accepting ones good and the bad,
    Of sharing the jolly times and also the bad.

    Love is taking one another just as they are,
    And making them feel like a bright shining star.
    Love is knowing what the other one needs,
    Showing you care with kind words and deeds.

    Love is supporting the other without gain,
    Of sharing the grace to forgive a wrong,
    To heel a slight and not carry it long.

    Love is the security and earned trust,
    The feeling of safe and that is a must.
    love is the gentle,warm, kind embrace,
    Of two hearts wanting to share common space…

  • Good Poetry

    Going to Heaven! by Emily Dickinson

    Going to Heaven!
    I dont know when – –
    Pray do not ask me how!
    Indeed Im too astonished
    To think of answering you!
    Going to Heaven!
    How dim it sounds!
    And yet it will be done
    As sure as flocks go home at night
    Unto the Shepherds arm!

    Perhaps youre going too!
    Who knows?
    If you should get there first
    Save just a little space for me
    Close to the two I lost – –
    The smallest “Robe” will fit me
    And just a bit of “Crown” – –
    For you know we do not mind our dress
    When we are going home – –

    Im glad I dont believe it
    For it would stop my breath – –
    And Id like to look a little more
    At such a curious Earth!
    Im glad they did believe it
    Whom I have never found
    Since the might Autumn afternoon
    I left them in the ground.

    Loves Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley

    The fountains mingle with the river
    And the rivers with the ocean,
    The winds of Heaven mix for ever
    With a sweet emotion;
    Nothing in the world is single,
    All things by a law divine
    In one spirit meet and mingle – Why not I with thine?

    See the mountains kiss high Heaven
    And the waves clasp one another;
    No sister-flower would be forgiven
    If it disdained its brother;
    And the sunlight clasps the earth,
    And the moonbeams kiss the sea – What are all these kissings worth
    If thou kiss not me?

    Elizabeth Barrett Browning

    Beloved, thou hast brought me many flowers
    Plucked in the garden, all the summer through
    And winter, and it seemed as if they grew
    In this close room, nor missed the sun and showers.
    So, in the like name of that love of ours,
    Take back these thoughts which here unfolded too,
    And which on warm and cold days I withdrew
    From my hearts ground. Indeed, those beds and bowers
    Be overgrown with bitter weeds and rue,
    And wait thy weeding; yet heres eglantine,
    Here s ivy!-take them, as I used to do
    Thy fowers, and keep them where they shall not pine.
    Instruct thine eyes to keep their colors true,
    And tell thy soul their roots are left in mine.

    Young and Old by Charles Kingsley

    When all the world is young, lad,
    And all the trees are green,
    And every goose a swan, lad,
    And every lass a queen;
    Then hey for boot and horse, lad,
    And round the world away,
    Young blood must hanve its course, lad,
    And every dog his day
    When all the world is old, lad,
    And the trees are brown;
    And all the sport is stale, lad,
    And all the wheels run down,
    Creep home, and take your place here,
    The speen and maimed among:
    God grant you find one face there,
    You loved when all was young

  • Creeper

    The oak was tall and strong,
    With green leaves and branches so long…
    He had grown in a beautiful garden,
    With few other oaks and a handsome warden…

    As time flowed and the future rolled…
    A cute little sapling entered the garden…
    The oak took care and nurtured the sapling,
    The bond grew strong under the oak’s wing,
    The sapling grew up and turned to be a creeper,
    Entwining a few trees into it deeper…

    As time flowed and the future rolled…
    The greenery was good and creeper was happy,
    And one fine day the oak was crappy,
    Untwine from the teak was the order,
    Teak is not oak and is one step shorter…
    Creeper had grown so thick in lush greenery,
    And teak was a part of its beautiful scenery,

    As time flowed and the future rolled…
    Teak tried to hold on to the creeper,
    For the entwining was so much deeper.
    Oak signaled the creeper about the warden,
    Creeper wondered, wasn’t Oak her warden…
    Oak loved warden, Oak loved the creeper,
    Creeper loved the Oak, Creeper loved the teak,

    In a attempt to entwine both oak and teak,
    The creeper lost its creeping streak….
    It fell down limply between the greenery,
    Never to creep again, never to build a scenery,
    Having lost its creeping streak, it became a bundle of limp fernery,

    The green started fading away and the creeper started withering away…..
    As was the norm the time flowed, but this time there was no future to roll…
