Lesson #72 Improvising on a 12-Bar Using the Pentatonics Aug 30, 2024

This is a great 'hack' for playing better improvisations using the minor pentatonic scale. We start with a chord shape - build the scale off it and move it to different areas of the neck to open up our lick possibilities.

Episode #186 Minor Pentatonic Hacks Jul 22, 2024

Show notes

In this episode I'm talking you through one of my favorite shapes on the neck. This two string version of the minor pentatonic scale is not only a great exercise, but it is also super useable within solos, improvisations and lead work.
It start on the minor 7 of the scale rather than the root note so it opens up a whole new range of "jumping off' points for us.
Not one to miss!
