I'll just throw this out.
A minor pentatonic (A-C-D-E-G-A) is the relative minor of the C Scale.
The relative minor of any major scale is the 6th of the scale. C-D-E-F-G-[A]-B-C
The 6th of the E scale is C#, the relative minor of the E Scale is C#
The E Scale is E-F#-Ab-A-B-[C#]-D#-E
The C# minor pentatonic is C#-E-F#-A-B
The minor pentatonic scale step pattern is (Root) (step and a half) (full step) (full step) (step and a half) ( full step)

I was equally impressed what I liked about the video is he slows it down and breaks it all down to the essence and not just shows off I am happy to say I did learn something from watching even if it is only a thimble its a start.

IMO for most rock and blues type players, fluency in all the modes is pretty worthless. I think if you focus on major, natural minor, dorian (minor with a natural 6) and mixolydian (major with a flatted 7th) you'll have all the tools you need to improvise and sound fantastic.

progress is what it's all about I googled up Phrygian and was amazed to find a guitarist who explained some things I was a little fuzzy on so it's never to late to learn plus he was really excellent on guitar! This is the dude and at no time do his fingers leave his hand LOL

If a picture is worth a thousand words then a video might help explain it better so without further ado

C# minor also contains a d# in the second scale degree. So you'd play c# Phrygian/ e mixo both of which are enharmonic with a major

I understand most of it but darn you sure say it nice thanks!
