my friend keeps asking me to help him with scales and the pentatonics, he said that he doesnt under-stand anything online (niether do i), and since i go for lessons if i could help him, i told him to come over tomorrow to jam...but i dont know how to explain it to him. Any suggestions?

    Show him any one of my clips and say, those are pentatonics.

    Ha!

    There's a site called Kyles Virtual Guitar Lessons or something along those lines. Google it.

    It explains pretty well all of it. Or at least it used to.

    Just show hom the pentatonic shape, then point out the root notes in the shape. Then explain to him how it differs to doh-re-mi, then show him the major scale in the same key and tell him that that IS doh-re-mi.

    As long as he understand that all he is playing is a series of notes from the scale of the root note.....wait, did that make sense?

    Good luck!!
