0:00 Intro

There's no "right" way to approaching the pentatonic scale. But there is an easy way where you only have to learn two positions of the scale and still unlock the fretboard of the guitar.

1:26 Trick #1 Know The Root Note

The key to fully understanding the guitar is locating the root note of the scale.

3:12 Trick #2 Add Musical Context

Play over a backing track and try experimenting with how you play the scale. You'll find melodies from changing the order or phrasing of the scale.

5:12 Trick #3 Master One Part Of The Neck

Start with mastering ONE part of the neck to keep it simple and accessible. So when you hear a lick, you know where to find it.

7:46 4th Position Pentatonic Scale

You can also call it the A string root Pentatonic shape. This is when you can start to add new colors and notes.

9:46 Transposing The Pentatonic Scale

When you know the regions of the neck really well, you'll be able to find and move up the octave and play the same shape. Now the whole fretboard is covered!

10:53 Next Steps

Remember root notes and learn your intervals!

12:30 Performance

Now we'll put everything we learned into one guitar jam.
