pattern 1..pattern 2...pattern 4,,etc,, a bout lead..!!! 10 Months ago
I believe I was watching the lesson ''while my guitar gently weeps'' and it was a bout lead playing,,and Neil showed something and called the lead playing patterns by a number(like we can do with chords) can someone(anybody) explain to me how this works(by numbers) or lead me to the lesson(link) that will clear this up..

Not being a TARGET member, I don't have access to the lessons. But....I would guess what you're looking for would be in the "Acoustic Genius Series". Maybe the "Fundamental IV - Pentatonic Scales and Patterns"?

Willem - can't help with explaining how they work, but I was just viewing the FOTW with Beaker on It's all over now, Baby Blue and there was quite a bit there on playing leads and numbered patterns.

Willem, try going to the blue bar at the top of all pages and look for "Tips, Techniques, Theory & Styles", once in there look at "Theory"
You'l find Major, Minor, and Pentatonic Scales and Patterns, I think that's what your looking for.
Also maybe this graphic will help:

Willem,
As others have said, look under "Tips, Techniques, Theory and Style" at the top of the page, then "Theory" then "Pentatonic Scales and Patterns." Also, if you look under the lesson for "Melissa" by the Allman Brothers, there is an excellent attachment that has a graph of all those patterns.

Neil numbers his patterns: 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6. The number of the pattern corresponds with the number of the note in the corresponding scale you are playing (a pentatonic pattern consisting of the notes 1,2,3,5, and 6 in a scale). So, for example, if you're playing a pentatonic scale up the neck in G, pattern 1 would begin on G, pattern 2 on A, 3 on B, 5 on D and 6 on E- all of those on the 6th string, of course.
Most places number the patterns 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

A short point about an advantage to numbering by the Major Scale. All the Pentatonic Patterns can be expanded to include all 7 notes of the Major Scale. At that point there could be Pattern IV and Pattern VII, and the original five will stay connected to their Major cousins.

Hello Suzi
Thanks for the explanation... now I understand.... thanks....
Hello Neil
Thanks for explaining the advantage.
In the Melissa lesson you did say something about the pentatonic scale leads and the use
of other notes from the Major Scale .... so is this what you were referring to .....
the expansion to include all 7 note of the major scale?
See video link below
..... also because.... what are the other pattern numbering systems
