Hey kids! Its your good buddy, Uncle Ben Eller, here with This is Why You Suck at Guitar 21: You Don't Know the Minor Scale!!!

In TIYWSAG 18, i showed you all the 5 positions of the Major scale that you NEED to know; and now, you're going to have 5 minor scale shapes to combine with that lesson for ultimate fretboard mastery! You're going to become a pro in BOTH styles: country AND western!

In this video, i'm going to show you my best and most-used shapes for the aeolian mode: linear, standard, pocket octaves, 3 notes per string, and 4 notes per string. Along the way, i'm going to drop some great tips for fretboard visualization, learning the notes across the neck, phrasing concepts, picking tips, and legato tricks! Its everything you need, and nothing you don't!

At the end of the video, i'm also going to show you how to combine these shapes with the concepts you learning about the major scale in episode 18; heed my words and you'll master the board in NO TIME!

Playing my Suhr Modern Satin into the Fractal AXE FX III. Simple and glorious!

Thanks for watching! Let me know what you suck at in the comments, and we will cover it next time!
