Re: E minor Pentatonic CAGED scale pattern overlap chart --5shapes

Hi Roger,

Well likewise thanks for your replies.

Your English has been so good all along I
didn't even notice the .nl in your email address, fooled me ;'

Thank you.
I usually do get along quitte well in the english language but I do not
know every word and way of expressing.
The language of music is a different story alltogether as I'm only taking my
first steps in this terrain and the english and dutch nomenclature do not
literally correspond. And through the web I mainly get information in
english.


As I said it is hard for me to say what it is that eludes me but one thing
might be that I suspect that these maps will also show me how to build a
progression for a given chord and yet fail to see how that shows or
follows.

I'm not quite sure what your saying there. Are you meaning something like;
"while I suspect these maps will show me how to build/play a progression
for
a given key, I still fail to see how to use them, and what to do with
them,
how to incorporate what I'm seeing into my playing?

What I was trying to say is that I sort of expected that taking a major
triad map and picking just any chord or triad the map would tell/suggest at
a glance how the scaleprogression for that particular chord proceeds.
But I did not see that.
I think the things I am learning now need some time to sink in and
consolidate before I can see it quick enough to be useful when playing.
For the time being I will have to laboriously construe things, I guess.
Like I spelled out in degrees a 3-string G chord progression on strings 2, 3
and 4 and see:
G 513
Am 624
Bm 735
C 146
D 257
Em 361
F#dim472
G 513
(hope this turns out well in various lettertypes/sizes)
First G located at the nut and last G on 12th fret. Showing A shape for the
majors, E shapes for the minors and D shape for the dim chord.
So the regularity is there and I see something likewise but taking different
shapes when looking at for instance C triads on strings 4, 5 and 6 or string
3, 4 and 5.
But as I said I cannot see/deduct these shapes quickly.
Or is there a shortcut or something I should pay attention to with regard to
chord progressions?


well, much about intervals, both in theory and on the fretboard, you could
pick up _very_ quickly, a couple of days actually. Have you seen my
previous
posts on learning about intervals? The thing that takes time, is hearing
notes or phrases of melody, in some song or in your head, and being able
to
grab them quickly, with little or no thought, by sound alone, on your
fretboard. That part takes a lot of time and practice.

No Roger, do not remember having seen your previous posts.
Just searched back for them in this NG and take it you're referring to your
how to spell chromatic notes posts.
I will look into them.
I have seen instances on the web where intervals were associated/linked with
the beginning of wellknown songs like the first notes of Somewhere over the
rainbow being an octave. This seems a very good way to learn and memorize to
me.


No I didn't know much of the things that you mention (like the bowed
guitars) concerning its ancestry.


I make a habit of taking every opportunity to mention them, just in case

I have seen on your website that you take a keen interest in the history of
the guitar and know an awful lot about it.


you're welcome, my (our) pleasure -- and _your birthright_ by the way!
;')
I'm sure you'd do the same for us, in whatever fields you're most
familiar.

Yep, I will usually try to help if I can and be glad if I see it actually
makes a difference.

Dick
