Most guitarists say they only "know" the pentatonic scales... In my experience, they actually only know one or two shapes of the minor pentatonic, thereby missing out on all the amazing melodic possibilities that the pentatonic has to offer.
In this video, I will show you how to REALLY MASTER the pentatonic scale, once and for all!
We will explore topics such as:
- What are pentatonic scales
- The difference between major and minor pentatonic
- All the shapes of major and minor pentatonic in CAGED
- Relative and parallel pentatonic
I will also give you a STEP-BY-STEP practice method to allow you to really get to the next level of playing the pentatonic scales.
