Hi Everyone,

This week's questions:

Question 1: Ray struggles with making chords and scales musical and wants help. Also, whats the deal with Hendrix's double stops and stuff.

Question 2: Josh wanted to know who made the pentatonic scale the norm for solos ion modern music. I don't know! Here is a fun article to read.

Question 3: J.T. had questions about moving through a scale vs jumping, which I talk about in detail on my Melody Making Lessons in Music Theory Monday and after that, CAGED soloing lessons.

Question 4: Dede wants me to make a video kind of like my Rubik's Cube system but for sus2 and add9 chords.

Question 5: Dorothy was wondering why I teach the pentatonic scale as a sort of extended triad with extra notes.

Question 6: Rick had a question about closed position vs 3 note per string

Come further the discussion on any one of these questions below or on the community forum.

Hi Scott, I just wanted to say thank you for your awesome help, I’ve learned so much from you so TY!

Hi Scott great stuff man. I have a question about caged system soloing. I need a little help/clarification on "moving through" notes and "jumping" I assume your moving through notes not in the chord and ending on notes in the chord but not clear about the concept of jumping.
